TRIO PETROLEUM CORP.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED JULY 31, 2024 AND 2023

 

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF THE ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

 

Company Organization

 

Trio Petroleum Corp. (“Trio Petroleum”, the “Company” or “TPET”) is a California-based oil and gas exploration and development company headquartered in Bakersfield, California, with its principal executive offices located at 5401 Business Park South, Suite 115, Bakersfield, California 93309, and with operations in Monterey County, California, and Uintah County, Utah. The Company was incorporated on July 19, 2021, under the laws of Delaware to acquire, fund, and operate oil and gas exploration, development and production projects, initially focusing on one major asset in California, the South Salinas Project (“South Salinas Project”). The Company has since acquired interests in the McCool Ranch Oil Field in Monterey County, California, and in the Asphalt Ridge Project in Uintah County, Utah. The Company has had revenue-generating operations since the McCool Ranch Oil Field was restarted on February 22, 2024, and recognized its first revenues in the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2024, and received the proceeds from these operations in June 2024.

 

Acquisition of South Salinas Project

 

The Company was initially formed to acquire from Trio Petroleum LLC (“Trio LLC”) an approximate 82.75% working interest (which was subsequently increased to an approximate 85.775% working interest in April 2023), in the large, approximately 9,300-acre South Salinas Project that is located in Monterey County, California, and subsequently partner with certain members of Trio LLC’s management team to develop and operate those assets. In September 2021, the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (“Trio LLC PSA”) with Trio LLC to acquire the purchased percentage of the South Salinas Project’s leases, wells and inventory in exchange for $300,000 cash, a non-interest-bearing note payable of $3,700,000 and 4,900,000 shares of the Company’s $0.0001 par value common stock (which constituted 45% of the total number of issued shares of the Company at that time). The Company accounted for the purchase as an asset acquisition, as prescribed in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805 – Business Combinations. The assets and associated asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) were recorded based on relative fair value at the estimated fair value of the consideration paid. The Company holds an approximate 68.62% interest after the application of royalties (“net revenue interest”) in the South Salinas Project, while Trio LLC holds an approximate 3.8% working interest in the South Salinas Project; the Company and Trio LLC are separate and distinct companies.

 

There are two contiguous areas of notable oil/gas accumulations in the South Salinas Project; the first is the Humpback Area that occurs in the northern part of the project and the second is the Presidents Area (“Presidents Oil Field”) that occurs in the southern part of the project. As of July 31, 2024 and October 31, 2023, there were no proved reserves attributable to the approximate 9,300 acres of the property. Since it was returned to production in March 2024, the HV-3A well at the South Salinas Project has been producing oil with a generally favorable oil-water ratio; the Company expects to take steps to improve oil production from this well in the third or fourth calendar quarter of 2024 and expects to receive the first revenue from oil produced from the well in the third calendar quarter of 2024.

 

Initial Public Offering

 

The Company’s Registration Statement (Amendment No. 9) on Form S-1/A was filed with the SEC on March 24, 2023; its Initial Public Offering was declared effective on April 17, 2023 and closed on April 20, 2023 (collectively, the “Offering” or “IPO”). The Company sold two million shares of its common stock for total gross proceeds of $6,000,000, which is described more fully in Note 4.

 

Additional Acquisitions - McCool Ranch Oil Field & Asphalt Ridge Leasehold

 

In October 2023, the Company entered into an agreement (“McCool Ranch Purchase Agreement”) with Trio LLC for purchase of a 21.918315% working interest in the McCool Ranch Oil Field located in Monterey County near the Company’s flagship South Salinas Project; the Company initially began refurbishment operations with respect to a water disposal well. After refurbishment was successfully accomplished, the Company restarted production operations on the assets (see Note 5 for further information). In November 2023, the Company entered into a leasehold acquisition and development option agreement (“ARLO Agreement”) with Heavy Sweet Oil, LLC (“HSO”), which gave the Company a 9-month option for the exclusive right to acquire up to a 20% interest in a 960-acre drilling and production program in the Asphalt Ridge leases for $2,000,000. In December 2023, the Company amended the agreement and funded $200,000 in exchange for an immediate 2% interest in the leases; subsequently, in January 2024, the Company funded an additional $25,000 resulting in a total 2.25% working interest in the leases. Such funds are to be used for the building of roads and related infrastructure in furtherance of the development of the leases; at present, the Company has until October 10, 2024 to pay HSO an additional approximate $1.775 million to exercise the option for the remaining 17.75% interest in the leases (see Note 6 for further information).

 

Emerging Growth Company

 

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

NOTE 2 –SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Amounts presented in the balance sheet as of October 31, 2023 are derived from our audited financial statements as of that date. The unaudited condensed financial statements as of and for the three- and nine-month periods ended July 31, 2024 and 2023 have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and the interim reporting rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on June 13, 2024. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments (unless otherwise indicated), necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, equity-based transaction and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the revenue and expenses during the reporting period.

 

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Some of the more significant estimates required to be made by management include estimates of oil and natural gas reserves (when and if assigned) and related present value estimates of future net cash flows therefrom, the carrying value of oil and natural gas properties, accounts receivable, bad debt expense, ARO and the valuation of equity-based transactions. Accordingly, actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“Topic 606”) requires an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services; refer to Note 5 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers for additional information.

 

The Company’s revenue is comprised of revenue from exploration and production activities to produce oil. The Company’s oil is sold to one customer who is a marketer, and payment is received in the month following delivery.

 

The Company recognizes sales revenues from oil when control transfers to the customer at the time of delivery. Revenue is measured based on the contract price, which may include adjustments for market differentials and downstream costs incurred by the customer, including gathering, transportation or short load fees.

 

Revenues are recognized for the sale of the Company’s percentage of working interest, adjusted for any incoming and outstanding expenses and oil and gas assessments.

 

Debt Issuance Costs

 

Costs incurred in connection with the issuance of the Company’s debt have been recorded as a direct reduction against the debt and amortized over the life of the associated debt as a component of interest expense. As of July 31, 2024 and October 31, 2023, the Company recorded $210,778 and $350,320 in debt issuance costs, respectively.

Oil and Gas Assets and Exploration Costs – Successful Efforts

 

The Company’s projects are in exploration and/or early production stages and the Company began generating revenue from its operations during the quarterly period ended April 30, 2024. It applies the successful efforts method of accounting for crude oil and natural gas properties. Under this method, exploration costs such as exploratory, geological, and geophysical costs, delay rentals and exploratory overhead are expensed as incurred. If an exploratory property provides evidence to justify potential development of reserves, drilling costs associated with the property are initially capitalized, or suspended, pending a determination as to whether a commercially sufficient quantity of proved reserves can be attributed to the area as a result of drilling. At the end of each quarter, management reviews the status of all suspended exploratory property costs considering ongoing exploration activities; in particular, whether the Company is making sufficient progress in its ongoing exploration and appraisal efforts. If management determines that future appraisal drilling or development activities are unlikely to occur, associated exploratory well costs are expensed.

 

Costs to acquire mineral interests in crude oil and/or natural gas properties, drill and equip exploratory wells that find proved reserves and drill and equip development wells are capitalized. Acquisition costs of unproved leaseholds are assessed for impairment during the holding period and transferred to proven crude oil and/or natural gas properties to the extent associated with successful exploration activities. Significant undeveloped leases are assessed individually for impairment, based on the Company’s current exploration plans, and a valuation allowance is provided if impairment is indicated. Capitalized costs from successful exploration and development activities associated with producing crude oil and/or natural gas leases, along with capitalized costs for support equipment and facilities, are amortized to expense using the unit-of-production method based on proved crude oil and/or natural gas reserves on a field-by-field basis, as estimated by qualified petroleum engineers. The Company currently has four wells that are producing (one well in President’s Field in the South Salinas Project and three wells at the McCool Ranch Oil Field) and is evaluating the impact of production on the reserve determination for those wells and fields. The Company expects to add the reserve value of such fields to the Company’s reserve report after a further period of observation and review of the oil production. As of July 31, 2024 and October 31, 2023, all of the Company’s oil and gas properties were classified as unproved properties and were not subject to depreciation, depletion and amortization.

 

Unproved oil and natural gas properties

 

Unproved oil and natural gas properties have unproved lease acquisition costs, which are capitalized until the lease expires or otherwise until the Company specifically identifies a lease that will revert to the lessor, at which time the Company charges the associated unproved lease acquisition costs to exploration costs.

 

Unproved oil and natural gas properties are not subject to amortization and are assessed periodically for impairment on a property-by-property basis based on remaining lease terms, drilling results or future plans to develop acreage. The Company currently has four wells that are producing (one well in President’s Field in the South Salinas Project and three wells at the McCool Ranch Oil Field) and is evaluating the impact of production on the reserve determination for those wells and fields. The Company expects to add the reserve value of such fields to the Company’s reserve report after a further period of observation and review of the oil production. As of July 31, 2024 and October 31, 2023, all of the Company’s oil and gas properties were classified as unproved properties and were not subject to depreciation, depletion and amortization; see further discussion in Note 6.

 

Impairment of Other Long-lived Assets

 

The Company reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical cost-carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. The Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value of the asset by estimating the future net undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition. If the future net undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset’s carrying value and estimated fair value. With regards to oil and gas properties, this assessment applies to proved properties.

 

Asset Retirement Obligations

 

ARO consists of future plugging and abandonment expenses on oil and natural gas properties. In connection with the South Salinas Project (“SSP”) acquisition described above, the Company acquired the plugging and abandonment liabilities associated with six non-producing wells. The fair value of the ARO was recorded as a liability in the period in which the wells were acquired with a corresponding increase in the carrying amount of oil and natural gas properties not subject to impairment. The Company plans to utilize the six wellbores acquired in the SSP acquisition in future exploration, production and/or disposal (i.e., disposal of produced water or CO2 by injection) activities. The liability is accreted for the change in its present value each period based on the expected dates that the wellbores will be required to be plugged and abandoned. The capitalized cost of ARO is included in oil and gas properties and is a component of oil and gas property costs for purposes of impairment and, if proved reserves are found, such capitalized costs will be depreciated using the units-of-production method. The asset and liability are adjusted for changes resulting from revisions to the timing or the amount of the original estimate when deemed necessary. If the liability is settled for an amount other than the recorded amount, a gain or loss is recognized.

Related Parties

 

Related parties are directly or indirectly related to the Company, through one or more intermediaries and are in control, controlled by, or under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. The Company discloses all related party transactions. On September 14, 2021, the Company acquired an 82.75% working interest (which was subsequently increased to an 85.775% working interest as of April 2023) in the SSP from Trio LLC in exchange for cash, a note payable to Trio LLC and the issuance of 4.9 million shares of common stock. As of the date of the acquisition, Trio LLC owned 45% of the outstanding shares of the Company and was considered a related party. As of July 31, 2024 and October 31, 2023, Trio LLC owned less than 1% and 1%, respectively, of the outstanding shares of the Company.

 

Environmental Expenditures

 

The operations of the Company have been, and may in the future be, affected from time to time to varying degrees by changes in environmental regulations, including those for future reclamation and site restoration costs. Both the likelihood of new regulations and their overall effect upon the Company vary greatly and are not predictable. The Company’s policy is to meet or, if possible, surpass standards set by relevant legislation by application of technically proven and economically feasible measures.

 

Environmental expenditures that relate to ongoing environmental and reclamation programs are charged against earnings as incurred or capitalized and amortized depending on their future economic benefits. All of these types of expenditures incurred since inception have been charged against earnings due to the uncertainty of their future recoverability. Estimated future reclamation and site restoration costs, when the ultimate liability is reasonably determinable, are charged against earnings over the estimated remaining life of the related business operation, net of expected recoveries.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

All recently issued but not yet effective accounting pronouncements have been deemed to be not applicable or immaterial to the Company.

 

NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT’S LIQUIDITY PLANS

 

As of July 31, 2024, the Company had $293,107 in its operating bank account and a working capital deficit of $2,970,428. To date, the Company has been funding operations through proceeds from the issuance of common stock, financing through certain investors, the consummation of its IPO in April 2023 (see Note 4), and convertible note financing under two tranches in October 2023 and December 2023, pursuant to which it raised total gross proceeds of $2,371,500. Additionally, the Company received funds in the amount of $125,000 from an unsecured promissory note from its CEO (see Note 9), as well as gross proceeds of $184,500 from a promissory note with an investor in March 2024 (see Note 9) and gross proceeds of $720,000 from convertible debt financing with two investors in April 2024 (see Note 9). As of the end of the third fiscal quarter, the Company received gross proceeds of $720,000 from convertible note financing with the same April 2024 investors (see Note 9) and subsequent to the quarter, secured a financing with gross proceeds of $134,000 from the March 2024 investor (see Note 13). The Company also expects to receive additional funding from a public offering on Form S-1, an amendment to which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on August 8, 2024.

The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern over the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these condensed financial statements, which assumes the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of July 31, 2024, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $18,373,436 and has experienced losses from continuing operations. Based on the Company’s cash balance as of July 31, 2024 and projected cash needs for the twelve months following the issuance of these condensed financial statements, management estimates that it will need to generate sufficient sales revenue and/or raise additional capital to cover operating and capital requirements. Management will need to raise the additional funds by issuing additional shares of common stock or other equity securities or obtaining additional debt financing. Although management has been successful to date in raising necessary funding and obtaining financing through investors, there can be no assurance that any required future financing can be successfully completed on a timely basis, on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all. Based on these circumstances, management has determined that these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the twelve months following the issuance of these condensed financial statements.

 

Accordingly, the accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

NOTE 4 – INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

 

The Company’s Registration Statement (Amendment No. 9) on Form S-1/A was filed with the SEC on March 24, 2023; its Initial Public Offering was declared effective on April 17, 2023 and closed on April 20, 2023 (collectively, the “Offering” or “IPO”). The Company sold two million shares of common stock at a public offering price of $3.00 per share for gross proceeds of $6,000,000. After deducting the underwriting commissions, discounts and offering expenses payable by the Company, it received net proceeds of approximately $4,940,000. The Company’s common stock is listed on the NYSE American under the symbol TPET. The Company also issued warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock to the underwriters at an exercise price of $3.30 per share (110% of public offering price), the cost of which was offset to additional paid-in capital upon IPO.

Leases

 

South Salinas Project

 

As of July 31, 2024, the Company holds interests in various leases related to the unproved properties of the South Salinas Project (see Note 8); two of the leases are held with the same lessor. The first lease, which covers 8,417 acres, was amended on May 27, 2022 to provide for an extension of then-current force majeure status for an additional, uncontested twelve months, during which the Company would be released from having to evidence to the lessor the existence of force majeure conditions. As consideration for the granting of the lease extension, the Company paid the lessor a one-time, non-refundable payment of $252,512; this amount was capitalized and reflected in the balance of the oil and gas property as of October 31, 2022. The extension period commenced on June 19, 2022 and currently, the “force majeure” status has been extinguished by the drilling of the HV-1 well. The ongoing operations and oil production at the HV-3A well maintains the validity of the lease.

 

The second lease covers 160 acres of the South Salinas Project; it is currently held by delay rental and is renewed every three years. Until drilling commences, the Company is required to make delay rental payments of $30/acre per year. The Company is currently in compliance with this requirement and has paid in advance the delay rental payment for the period from October 2023 through October 2024.

 

During February and March of 2023, the Company entered into additional leases related to the unproved properties of the South Salinas Project with two groups of lessors. The first group of leases covers 360 acres and has a term of 20 years; the Company is required to make rental payments of $25/acre per year. The Company is currently in compliance with this requirement and has paid in advance the rental payment for the period February 2024 through February 2025. The second group of leases covers 307.75 acres and has a term of 20 years; the Company is required to make rental payments of $30/acre per year. The Company is currently in compliance with this requirement and has paid in advance the rental payment for the period from March 2024 through March 2025.

 

McCool Ranch Oil Field

 

In October 2023, the Company entered into the McCool Ranch Purchase Agreement with Trio LLC for purchase of a 21.918315% working interest in the McCool Ranch Oil Field located in Monterey County near the Company’s flagship South Salinas Project; the Company initially recorded a payment of $100,000 upon execution of the McCool Ranch Purchase Agreement, at which time Trio LLC began refurbishment operations with respect to the San Ardo WD-1 water disposal well (the “WD-1”) to determine if it was capable of reasonably serving the produced water needs for the assets. With refurbishment successfully accomplished, the Company is obligated to pay an additional $400,000 per the McCool Ranch Purchase Agreement; it has paid approximately $270,000 to date for restarting production operations on the assets and has recorded a liability of approximately $130,000 for the remainder as of the end of the period. These additional costs are capitalized costs and are reflected in the balance of the oil and gas property as of July 31, 2024.

 

The Company holds interests in various leases related to the unproved properties of the McCool Ranch Oil Field; these leases occur in two parcels, “Parcel 1” and “Parcel 2”. Parcel 1 comprises ten leases and approximately 480 acres, which are held by delay rental payments that are paid-up and current. Parcel 2 comprises one lease and approximately 320 acres, which is held by production. The total leasehold comprises approximately 800 gross and net acres.

 

Optioned Assets – Old Man Prospect

 

In October 2023, the Company and Lantos Energy entered into an option agreement, whereby the Company has the option to pay two initial payments of $12,500 each and a final subsequent payment of $175,000, for a total of $200,000 within 120 days of the effective date for exclusive rights to the option to purchase 80% of the 100% Before Project Payout Working Interest (“BPPWI”) in Lantos’ oil and gas leasehold interests in Solano County, California (referred to as the Old Man Prospect). As of January 31, 2024, the Company has paid approximately $25,000 towards the purchase of this option. Due to technical risks identified during due diligence and due to other considerations, the Company did not make the final $175,000 payment and as a result the 120-day option period has expired.

On December 29, 2023, the Company entered into an amendment to the ARLO Agreement, whereby the Company funded $200,000 of the $500,000 payable by the Company to HSO at the Initial Closing, in advance of HSO satisfying certain required items for a 2% interest in the leases; such funds are to be used by HSO solely for the building of roads and related infrastructure in furtherance of the development of the leases. As of July 31, 2024, the Company has paid a total of $225,000 to HSO in costs related to infrastructure and has obtained a 2.25% interest in the leases; such costs are capitalized costs and are reflected in the balance of the oil and gas property as of July 31, 2024.

 

The Company has until October 10, 2024 to pay HSO an additional $1,775,000 to exercise an option for the remaining 17.75% working interest in the initial 960 acres of the Asphalt Ridge Leases. If the Company raises sufficient funds in its current public offering (for which an amendment to its Form S-1 was filed with the SEC on August 8, 2024), it plans to use $1,775,000 of the net proceeds received to exercise the remaining 17.75% working interest in the Asphalt Ridge Leases. If this option is not exercised on or before such date, the Company will forfeit any further right to acquire this additional 17.75% working interest in the initial 960 acres.

Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) issued to Directors

 

Pursuant to the 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (“the Plan”), on September 2, 2023, the Company issued an aggregate 425,000 shares of its $0.0001 par common stock to four outside directors with a fair value of $0.64 per share for a grant date value of $273,275. The shares, or RSUs, vested as of February 28, 2024.

 

On June 19, 2024, the Company agreed to award one million restricted stock units to a newly appointed director under the Plan; as there were only 455,000 shares remaining for issuance under the Plan, 450,000 RSUs were awarded immediately with a fair value of $0.30 per share for a grant date value of $134,550 and the remaining 550,000 RSUs will be awarded to the director if and when the number of shares available under the Plan have been increased, with shareholder approval, and there are a sufficient number of shares available for such additional award of RSUs. With regards to vesting, 25% of the RSUs vest six months after the date of issuance and the remaining RSUs will vest in equal amounts quarterly thereafter. For the three and nine months ended July 31, 2024, the Company recognized stock-based compensation for these awards in the amount of $7,720 and $184,980, respectively, within stock-based compensation expenses on the income statement, with $126,830 of unrecognized expense as of the period ended July 31, 2024.

After this date, the remainder vest in equal tranches every six months until fully vested. As the Plan was not adopted until October 17, 2022, these shares will be recorded as of that date at a fair value of $0.294 per share; such value was calculated via a third-party valuation performed using income and market methods, as well as a discounted cash flow method, with the terminal value using a market multiples method, adjusted for a lack of marketability.

Unproved Property Leases

 

The Company holds interests in various leases related to the unproved properties of the South Salinas Project (see Note 6); two of the leases are held with the same lessor. The first lease, which covers 8,417 acres, was amended on May 27, 2022 to provide for an extension of then-current force majeure status for an additional, uncontested twelve months, during which the Company would be released from having to evidence to the lessor the existence of force majeure conditions. As consideration for the granting of the lease extension, the Company paid the lessor a one-time, non-refundable payment of $252,512; this amount was capitalized and reflected in the balance of the oil and gas property as of October 31, 2022. The extension period commenced on June 19, 2022 and currently, the “force majeure” status has been extinguished by the drilling of the HV-1 well. The ongoing operations and oil production at the HV-3A well maintains the validity of the lease.

The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s Common Stock and the Common Stock will continue to trade on the NYSE American under the symbol “TPET” with the designation of “. BC” to indicate that the Company is not in compliance with the NYSE American’s continued listing standards.

Convertible note – investors (October 2023 SPA)

 

On October 4, 2023, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “October 2023 SPA”) with an investor; the October 2023 SPA provides for loans in an aggregate principal amount of up to $3.5 million under two tranches, with first and second tranche fund amounts of $2.0 million and $1.5 million, respectively.

 

In consideration for the investor’s funding of the first tranche, the Company issued i) a senior secured convertible promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $2,000,000 (the “Note”) and ii) a warrant to purchase up to 866,702 shares of Common Stock at an initial exercise price of $1.20 per share of Common Stock, subject to certain adjustments (the “Common Warrant”). The Note was initially convertible into shares of Common Stock at conversion price of $1.20, subject to certain adjustments (the “Conversion Price”), provided that the Conversion Price shall not be reduced below $0.35 (the “Floor Price”). The Note did not bear any interest and matured on April 4, 2025.

 

Upon the initial funding on October 4, 2023, the Company recorded gross proceeds of approximately $2.0 million, a 7% original issue discount of $140,000 and debt issuance costs of $350,320, for net proceeds of approximately $1.5 million. The Company also issued a warrant to purchase up to 866,702 shares of common stock with an aggregate relative fair value of $332,630; the factors used to determine fair value were a share price of $0.55, an exercise price of $1.20, an expected term of 5 years, annualized volatility of 137.10%, a dividend rate of zero percent and a discount rate of 4.72%.

 

On December 18, 2023, December 29, 2023 and January 12, 2024, the Company made principal payments towards the first tranche in the amounts of $125,000, $125,000, and $125,000, respectively, which it converted into shares at 103% for conversion amounts of $128,750, $128,750 and $128,750, respectively. Conversion shares were issued numbering 367,858, 367,858 and 367,858, respectively, at fair values per share of $0.34, $0.31 and $0.29, respectively, for total amounts of $125,072, $114,036 and $105,575, with cash payments of $36,698, $35,837 and $49,935 made to the investor for the difference between the monthly conversion price and the floor price listed in the most recent amendment to the agreement. Additionally, losses in the amounts of $36,770, $24,873 and $30,510, respectively, were recognized for the difference between the value of the shares issued and the principal payment amounts.

 

On December 29, 2023, the Company entered into an amendment to the Second Tranche Note of the October 2023 SPA, which reduced the conversion price of note and exercise price of warrant from $1.20 to $0.50; the Company accounted for the amendment as a warrant modification, whereby the effect of the modification is measured as the difference in its relative fair value immediately before the modification and after the modification, and any increase to the relative fair value is recognized as an equity issuance cost.

 

To assess for the change in relative fair value, the Company performed a Black Scholes Option Model calculation to quantify the fair value of the common warrants under their original terms as of the modification date using the following assumptions: a share price of $0.31, an exercise price of $1.20, an expected term of 5.0 years, volatility of 137.1%, a dividend rate of 0% and a discount rate of 3.84%. The Company then performed a Black Scholes Option Model calculation to quantify the fair value of the common warrants with their new modified terms as of the modification date using the following assumptions: a share price of $0.31, an exercise price of $0.50, an expected term of 5.0 years, volatility of 137.1%, a dividend rate of 0% and a discount rate of 3.84%. The aggregate difference of approximately $0.1 million between the two calculated amounts was recorded as an equity issuance cost within equity during the period to account for the change in relative fair value.

 

On January 2, 2024, the second tranche of the October 2023 SPA was funded, and the Company recorded gross proceeds of approximately $550,000, a 7% original issue discount of $38,500 and debt issuance costs of $90,978, for net proceeds of approximately $421,000. The Company also issued warrants to purchase up to 445,564 shares of common stock with an aggregate relative fair value of $98,708; the factors used to determine fair value were a share price of $0.32, an exercise price of $0.50, an expected term of 5 years, annualized volatility of 137.10%, a dividend rate of zero percent and a discount rate of 3.93%.

 

On February 1, 2024, February 16, 2024, March 22, 2024 and April 2, 2024, the Company made principal payments towards the first tranche in the amounts of $625,000, $125,000, $125,000, and $750,000, respectively, which it converted into shares at 103% for conversion amounts of $643,750, $128,750, $128,750 and $772,500, respectively. Conversion shares were issued numbering 1,839,286, 858,333, 858,333 and 5,149,997, respectively, at fair values per share of $0.24, $0.13, $0.10 and $0.17, respectively, for total amounts of $441,428, $113,300, $84,117 and $881,165, with a cash payment of $32,247 made to the investor for the difference between the monthly conversion price and the floor price listed in the most recent amendment to the agreement for the February 16, 2024 conversion. Additional shares of 2,395,911 and 351,507, respectively, were issued on February 1, 2024 and April 15, 2024, respectively, at fair values of $0.24 and $0.63, respectively, for total amounts of $574,779 and $221,449, respectively; these share issuances were made in lieu of additional cash payments related to the February 1, 2024 and March 22, 2024 principal payment conversions. Additionally, losses in the amounts of $391,447, $20,547, $180,566 and $131,165, respectively, were recognized for the difference between the value of the shares issued and the principal payment amounts.

 

On February 5, 2024, the Company entered into the first amendment to the First Tranche Note of the October 2023 SPA; such amendment provides for i) a reduction of the floor price of the conversion price from $0.35 to $0.15, ii) the issuance of additional 2,395,911 shares of common stock (as noted above) to the investor in lieu of the Company’s obligation to pay cash installments under the First Tranche Note, and iii) a new obligation of the Company to request acceleration of monthly payments in installments of $250,000 as soon as possible to repay the remaining $1,000,000 principal balance of the First Tranche Note, with the investor converting and selling shares subject to a) the beneficial ownership limitation of 4.99% and b) market prices of the Company’s common stock being at or above the floor price of $0.15.

 

On February 2, 2024 and February 5, 2024, the Company made principal payments towards the second tranche in the amounts of $275,000 and $275,000, respectively, which it converted into shares at 103% for conversion amounts of $283,250 and $283,250, respectively. Conversion shares were issued numbering 1,888,333 and 1,888,334, respectively, at fair values per share of $0.17 and $0.18, respectively, for total amounts of $323,094 and $339,334, respectively. Additionally, losses in the amounts of $48,094 and $64,334, respectively, were recognized for the difference between the value of the shares issued and the principal payment amounts.

The Company may prepay the March 2024 Investor Note, in full and not in part, any time during the 180 day period after the issuance date of the Investor Note at a 3% discount to the outstanding amount of principal and interest due and payable; provided, that in the event of a prepayment, the Company will still be required to pay the full amount of interest that would have been payable through the term of the March 2024 Investor Note, in the amount of $25,380. The Investor Note contains provisions constituting an Event of Default (as such term is defined in the March 2024 Investor Note) and, upon an Event of Default, the March 2024 Investor Note will be accelerated and become due and payable in an amount equal to 150% of all amounts due and payable under the March 2024 Investor Note with interest at a default rate of 22% per annum. In addition, upon an Event of Default, the March 2024 Investor has the right to convert all or any outstanding amount of the March Investor Note into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to the greater of (i) 75% of the Market Price (as such term is defined in the March 2024 Investor Note) or (ii) the conversion floor price, which is $0.07117 (the “Floor Price”); provided, however, that the Floor Price shall not apply after October 5, 2024, and thereafter, the conversion price will be 75% of the Market Price.

The Company also issued to the April 2024 Investors an aggregate of 1,500,000 shares of common stock, as and for a commitment fee in connection with the April 2024 Financings (the “Commitment Shares”). The commitment shares were issued separately in two amounts of 750,000 common shares at fair values of $0.49 per share and $0.40 per share for values totaling $366,000 and $301,500, respectively; such amounts are debt issuance costs and were recorded as debt discounts to be amortized over the life of the agreement. For the three and nine months ended July 31, 2024, the Company amortized $503,361 and $560,189, respectively, in noncash interest expense related to the commitment shares.

 

Pursuant to the provisions of the A&R SPA, the Company granted “piggy-back registration rights” to the April 2024 Investors for the registration for resale of the Commitment Shares and the Conversion Shares (defined hereafter). Additionally, until 18 months after the later of (i) August 16, 2024 or the full repayment of the April 2024 Investors Notes (defined hereafter), the Company provided the April 2024 Investors with the right to jointly participate in future financings in an amount up to 100% of any debt financing and up to 45% of any other type of financing.

In connection with the April 2024 Financings, the Company issued Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes to the April 2024 Investors in the aggregate principal amount of $800,000 (the “April 2024 Investors Notes”), having an aggregate original issue discount of $80,000, or 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the April Notes. There is no interest payable on the outstanding balance of the April 2024 Investors Notes, unless an Event of Default has occurred, in which case interest will accrue on the outstanding balance of the April 2024 Investors Notes at a rate of 15% per annum until cured (the “Default Interest”). The Company may prepay all or any portion of the April 2024 Investors Notes at any time, provided that it also makes an equal prepayment, with respect to each of the April 2024 Investors Notes, and must prepay both of the April 2024 Investors Notes in full from the proceeds of any debt or equity financing of the Company generating, in a single transaction or a series of related transactions, gross proceeds of not less than $1,000,000, during any time that either of the April 2024 Investors Notes remain outstanding. In May 2024, the April 2024 Investors have provided limited waivers to the Company, which waivers require the Company to only pay 50% of the outstanding balance of the April 2024 Investors Notes upon any equity or debt financing generating less than $5,000,000 in gross proceeds if such financing takes place before June 30, 2024. The maturity date of both April 2024 Investors Notes is August 16, 2024. The Company also incurred debt issuance costs of $56,000 in connection with the issuance of the April 2024 Investor Notes; the values of such costs and the original issue discount noted above (which total $136,000) are recorded as debt discounts and amortized as the life of the April 2024 Investors Notes; as of July 31, 2024, the balance of April 2024 Investor Notes, net of discounts, was $671,836 and the Company amortized $102,557 and $115,148 in noncash interest expense related to these debt discounts for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2024, respectively.

 

The April 2024 Investors Notes are convertible into shares common stock of the Company (the “Conversion Shares”) at a per share conversion price of $0.25, subject to certain adjustments. The April 2024 Investors Notes also contain certain beneficial ownership limitations prohibiting the April 2024 Investors from converting the April 2024 Investors Notes, if any such conversion would result in an April 2024 Investor’s ownership of shares in excess of the applicable beneficial ownership limitation. The April 2024 Investors Notes also contain customary provisions constituting an Event of Default (as such term is defined in the April 2024 Investors Notes) and, in addition to the requirement to pay Default Interest upon an Event of Default, after an Event of Default has existed for at least 15 days without being cured, the April 2024 Investors Notes may be accelerated by the April 2024 Investors, in which case they will become immediately due and payable.

 

The Company also granted to the April 2024 Investors a senior security interest in and to all of the Company’s assets and non-real estate properties, subject to certain exceptions, securing repayment of the April 2024 Investors Notes as set forth in an Amended and Restated Security Agreement, dated April 24, 2024, between the Company and the April 2024 Investors (the “A&R Security Agreement”).

All monthly payments are payable by the Company in cash, provided that under certain circumstances, as provided in the June 2024 Notes, the Company may elect to pay in shares of Common Stock.

Overview

 

We are a California-based oil and gas exploration and development company headquartered in Bakersfield, California, with our principal executive offices located at 5401 Business Park South, Suite 115, Bakersfield, California 93309, with operations in Monterey County, California, and Uintah County, Utah.

 

We have had revenue-generating operations since the McCool Ranch Oil Field was restarted on February 22, 2024, and recognized our first revenues in our fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2024, and received the proceeds from these operations in June 2024.

 

We were formed to initially acquire an approximate 82.75% working interest (which was subsequently increased to an approximate 85.775% working interest) from Trio Petroleum LLC (“Trio LLC”) in the large, approximately 9,300-acre South Salinas Project that is located in Monterey County, California, and subsequently partner with certain members of Trio LLC’s management team to develop and operate those assets. We hold an approximate 68.62% interest after the application of royalties (“net revenue interest”) in the South Salinas Project. Trio LLC holds an approximate 3.8% working interest in the South Salinas Project. We and Trio LLC are separate and distinct companies.

 

California is a significant part of our geographic focus and we recently acquired a 22% working interest in the McCool Ranch Oil Field (the “McCool Ranch Oil Field”, “McCool Ranch Field” or “McCool Ranch”) in Monterey County, California. However, our interests extend beyond California and we recently acquired an interest in the Asphalt Ridge Project in Uintah County, Utah; we may acquire additional assets both inside and outside of California and Utah.

South Salinas Project

 

Efforts to obtain conditional use permits and a full field development permit for the South Salinas Project from Monterey County are progressing; in the meantime, we recently determined that existing permits allow production testing to continue at the HV-3A discovery well at Presidents Field and, consequently, testing operations were restarted at this well on March 22, 2024. The well has been producing with a generally favorable oil-water ratio, and we believe that production at the HV-3A well can be significantly increased over current and previous levels by adding up to 650 feet of additional perforations in the currently producing oil zone, opening deeper behind-pipe oil zones some of which are already selectively perforated, acidizing the well for borehole cleanup, and other methods and operations under consideration. We expect to takes such steps towards increased production in the third or fourth calendar quarter of 2024, with first oil sales from the HV-3A well in the third calendar quarter of 2024.

 

McCool Ranch Oil Field

 

On October 16, 2023, we entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with Trio LLC (the “McCool Ranch Purchase Agreement”) pertaining to the McCool Ranch Oil Field. Pursuant to this agreement, effective October 1, 2023, we acquired an approximate 22% working interest in and to certain oil and gas assets at the McCool Ranch Field, which is located in Monterey, County, California, just seven miles from our flagship South Salinas Project. The assets are situated in what is known as the “Hangman Hollow Area” of the McCool Ranch Field. The acquired property is a relatively new oil field (discovered in 2011) developed with six oil wells, one water-disposal well, a steam generator, boiler, three 5,000 barrel tanks, a 250-barrel test tank, a water softener, two freshwater tanks, two soft water tanks, in-field steam pipelines, oil pipelines and other facilities. The property is fully and properly permitted for oil and gas production, cyclic-steam injection and water disposal. We are acquiring the working interest at McCool Ranch primarily through work commitment expenditures, which are being allocated to restart production at the field and establish cash flow for us, with upside potential given the numerous undrilled infill and development well locations. Oil production was restarted on February 22, 2024.

 

McCool Ranch operations have been successfully restarted, including the restarting of oil production at the HH-1, 35X and 58X wells. The HH-1 well has a short horizontal completion in the Lombardi Oil Sand, whereas the 35X and 58X wells are both vertical wells with similar oil columns in the Lombardi Oil Sand and with similar subsurface borehole completions. Upon restart, the HH-1 well at McCool Ranch was initially producing about 47 barrels of oil per day (“BOPD”) and it is currently producing about 20 BOPD. The 35X well produced some oil but it and the 58X well are temporarily idle and awaiting heat treatment, which we expect to accomplish during the calendar quarter ending September 30, 2024. The oil production at the HH-1 well is currently “cold” (i.e., without steam).

 

The aforementioned initial three wells at McCool Ranch were each restarted and produced “cold” (i.e. without steam injection), which allows for lower operating costs, with expectation that each would be produced cold as long as profitable. Our expectation was and is that each well will probably transition at some point from cold production to cyclic-steam operations, also known as “huff and puff,” which is expected to significantly increase production. The wells at McCool Ranch historically have responded favorably when cyclic-steam operations have been applied.

 

We expect to restart the last two wells in the restart program (the HH-3 and HH-4 wells) in the third calendar quarter of 2024. The HH-3 and HH-4 wells will have horizontal completion similar to that of the HH-1 well; all water produced from these wells will be disposed in the on-site water disposal well.

 

The HH-1 well was initially produced cold for about 380 days in 2012-2013, during which time peak production was approximately 156 BOPD, average production was approximately 35 BOPD and cumulative production was 13,147 barrels of oil (“BO”). The 58X well was initially produced cold for about 230 days in 2011-2013, during which time peak production was approximately 41 BOPD, average production was approximately 13 BOPD and cumulative production was 2,918 BO.

 

During February 2024, the HH-1 well at McCool Ranch Field was returned to production at an initial rate of 47 barrels of oil per day, and the 35X and 58X wells at this field were subsequently also returned to production. All three of these wells were producing as of April 30, 2024. In April 2024, we made our first sale and shipment of approximately 1,925 barrels of oil, primarily produced from the HH-1 well. We are taking steps to optimize the oil production from the three wells, including possibly employing cyclic steam. We also plan to return to production the last two wells in the restart program during the third calendar quarter of 2024.

KLS Petroleum Consulting LLC (“KLSP”), a third-party, independent engineering firm, recommends that McCool Ranch be developed with horizontal wells; management estimates that our property can probably accommodate approximately 22 additional such horizontal wells and we may commence a drilling program in the third or fourth calendar quarter of 2024. We expect to add the reserve value of the McCool Ranch Field to our reserve report after a brief period of observation and review of the oil production that was restarted on February 22, 2024.

 

Asphalt Ridge Option Agreement and the Lafayette Energy Leasehold Acquisition and Development Option Agreement

 

On November 10, 2023, we entered into a Leasehold Acquisition and Development Option Agreement (the “Asphalt Ridge Option Agreement”) with Heavy Sweet Oil LLC (“HSO”); pursuant to the Asphalt Ridge Option Agreement, we acquired an option to purchase up to a 20% working interest in certain leases at a long-recognized, major oil accumulation in northeastern Utah, in Uintah County, southwest of the city of Vernal, totaling 960 acres. HSO holds the right to such leases below 500 ft depth from surface and we acquired the option to participate in HSO’s initial 960-acre drilling and production program (the “HSO Program”) on such Asphalt Ridge Leases. We also hold the right of first refusal to participate with up to a 20% working interest on the greater approximate 30,000-acre leasehold at terms offered to other third parties. On December 29, 2023, we and HSO entered into an Amendment to Leasehold Acquisition and Development Agreement (the “Amendment to the Asphalt Ridge Option Agreement”), pursuant to which we amended the Asphalt Ridge Option Agreement to provide that, within three (3) business days of the effective date of the Amendment to the Asphalt Ridge Option Agreement, we would fund $200,000 of the $2,000,000 total purchase price in advance of HSO satisfying the closing conditions set forth in the Asphalt Ridge Option Agreement, in exchange for receiving an immediate 2% interest in the Asphalt Ridge Leases, which advanced funds would be used solely for the building of roads and related infrastructure in furtherance of the development plan. In January 2024, we funded an additional $25,000 resulting in a 2.25% working interest in the Asphalt Ridge Leases.

 

The Asphalt Ridge Project, according to J. Wallace Gwynn of Energy News, is estimated to be the largest measured tar sand resource in the United States and is unique given its low wax and negligible sulfur content, which is expected to make the oil produced very desirable for many industries, including shipping.

 

Asphalt Ridge is a prominent, northwest-southeast trending topographic feature (i.e., a dipping slope called a hog’s back or cuesta) that crops-out along the northeast flank of the Uinta Basin. The outcrop is comprised largely of Tertiary and Cretaceous age sandstones that are locally highly saturated with heavy oil and/or tar. The oil-saturated sandstones extend into the shallow subsurface of the Uinta Basin to the southwest, which is the site of the Asphalt Ridge Development Project, and where the sandstones are estimated in various independent studies to contain billions of barrels of oil-in-place. The project leasehold comprises over 30,000 acres and trends northwest-southeast, along the trend of Asphalt Ridge, over a distance of about 20 miles.

 

The area has been underdeveloped for decades due, in large part, to lease ownership issues and the definition of heavy oil falling under mining regulations in the State of Utah. These factors created conflict between surface rights and subsurface mineral rights and were obstacles to developing the asset using proven advanced cyclic-steam production techniques. Necessary permits have now been secured that should allow drilling to commence by our operating partner. HSO hopes to continue to work with the State of Utah to supplement prior receipt of permits with other state incentives, including working with the State on an arrangement requiring only an 8% state royalty in connection with this project.

 

An early development phase contemplates the development of 240 acres with an estimated 119 wells in the Northwest Asphalt Ridge Area. The plan is to develop the 240 acres using advanced cyclic-steam production techniques, including initial CO2 injection. This phase contemplates seventeen 7-spot hexagonal well patterns on 2 ½ acre spacing (a 7-spot has a central steam/CO2 injection well that is surrounded by six producing oil wells). Upgrades have been made to existing roads and well pads as part of this early development phase.

 

Two oil-saturated Cretaceous sandstones are targeted for development at Asphalt Ridge: the Rimrock Sandstone and the underlying Asphalt Ridge Sandstone. We expect to add the reserve value, if any, of the Asphalt Ridge Project to the Company’s reserve report after a brief period of observation and review of the oil development operations that commenced in the third calendar quarter of 2024.

 

During the quarterly period ended April 30, 2024, we announced the commencement of drilling activities at Asphalt Ridge. The first well, HSO 8-4 (API# 4304757202), was spud on May 10, 2024 and drilled to a total depth of 1,020 feet. The well found 100 feet of Rimrock Sandstone tar-sand pay zone with good oil saturation and good porosity and thirty feet of the Rimrock was cored. A small, representative piece of Rimrock core was placed in water and brought to boiling point, and within a few minutes the sand disaggregated and the bitumen became liquid, mobile-oil, floating on top of the water - this simple laboratory test indicates that the bitumen becomes mobile-oil at relatively low temperatures and supports our contention that oil extraction using subsurface thermal-recovery methods may be very successful. A second well, the HSO 2-4 (API# 430475201), was spud on May 19, 2024 and drilled to a total depth of 1,390 feet. The well drilled through both the Rimrock tar-sand, which had a thickness of 135 feet, and the Asphalt Ridge tar-sand, which had a thickness of 59 feet. A downhole-heater has been installed in the 2-4 well and we expect production to begin in the third calendar quarter of 2024. A third well is planned to be drilled in the third calendar quarter of 2024.

 

Carbon Capture and Storage Project as part of Company’s South Salinas Project

 

We are committed to attempting to reduce our own carbon footprint and, where possible, that of others. For this reason, we are taking initial steps to launch a Carbon Capture and Storage (“CCS”) project as part of the South Salinas Project, which appears ideal for such a task. The South Salinas Project covers a vast area and is uniquely situated at a deep depocenter where there are thick geologic zones (e.g., Vaqueros Sand, up to approximately 500’ thick) about two miles deep, which could accommodate and permanently store vast volumes of CO2. Four existing deep wells in the South Salinas Project (i.e., the HV 1-35, BM 2-2, BM 1-2-RD1 and HV 3-6 wells) are excellent candidates for use as CO2 injection wells. A CCS project in the future may help reduce our carbon footprint by sequestering and permanently storing CO2 deep underground at one or more deep wells, away from drinking water sources. Furthermore, three of the aforementioned deep wells are directly located on three idle oil and gas pipelines that could be used to import CO2 to our CCS Project. We have opened discussions with third parties who wish to reduce their own greenhouse gas emissions and who may be interested in participating in our CCS project. We believe it is feasible to develop the major oil and gas resources of the South Salinas Project and to concurrently establish a substantial CCS project and potentially a CO2 storage hub and/or Direct Air Capture (DAC) hub.

Going Concern Considerations

 

We have only begun to generate revenues in the current year and have incurred significant losses since inception. As of July 31, 2024, we have an accumulated deficit of $18,373,436 and a working capital deficit of $2,970,428, and for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2024, net losses of $2,178,571 and $7,926,554, respectively. To date, we have been funding operations through proceeds from the issuance of common stock, financing through certain investors, the consummation of our IPO in April 2023, and convertible note financing under two tranches in October 2023 and December 2023, pursuant to which we raised total gross proceeds of $2,371,500. Additionally, we received funds in the amount of $125,000 from an unsecured promissory note from our CEO, gross proceeds of $184,500 from a promissory note with an investor in March 2024, gross proceeds of $720,000 from convertible debt financing with two investors in April 2024, gross proceeds of $720,000 from convertible debt financing with two investors in June 2024, as well as additional financing secured after the end of the period in August 2024 for gross proceeds in the aggregate amount of $359,000 from two unsecured promissory notes.

 

There is substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern as a result of our accumulated deficit and no source of revenue sufficient to cover our costs of operations as well as our dependence on private equity and financing. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Business— We have a history of operating losses, our management has concluded that factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and our auditor has included an explanatory paragraph relating to our ability to continue as a going concern in its audit report for the years ended October 31, 2023 and 2022, and for the period from July 19, 2021 (inception) through October 31, 2021,” in our Form 10-K/A.

 

The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern. As we have only begun to generate revenues, we need to raise a significant amount of capital to pay for our development, exploration, drilling and operating costs. While we raised capital in April 2023 with our IPO, in October 2023, December 2023, April 2024 and June 2024 with convertible debt financing, and in March 2024 and August 2024 with promissory notes, we expect to require additional funding in the future and there is no assurance that we will be able to raise additional needed capital or that such capital will be available under favorable terms or at all. We are subject to all the substantial risks inherent in the development of a new business enterprise within an extremely competitive industry. Due to the absence of a long-standing operating history and the emerging nature of the markets in which we compete, we anticipate operating losses until we can successfully implement our business strategy, which includes all associated revenue streams. We may never achieve profitable operations or generate significant revenues.

 

We will require additional capital funding in order to drill additional planned wells at the South Salinas, McCool Ranch and Asphalt Ridge assets and to pay for additional development costs and other payment obligations and operating costs until our planned revenue streams are fully implemented and begin to offset our operating costs, if ever.

 

Since our inception, we have funded our operations with the proceeds from equity and debt financing. We have experienced liquidity issues due to, among other reasons, our limited ability to raise adequate capital on acceptable terms. We have historically relied upon the issuance of equity and promissory notes that are convertible into shares of our common stock to fund our operations and have devoted significant efforts to reduce that exposure. We anticipate that we will need to issue equity to fund our operations for the foreseeable future. If we are unable to achieve operational profitability or are not successful in securing other forms of financing, we will have to evaluate alternative actions to reduce our operating expenses and conserve cash.

 

The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Accordingly, the condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. The condensed financial statements included in this report also include a going concern footnote.

 

Optioned Assets - McCool Ranch Oil Field

 

In October 2023, we entered into an agreement (“McCool Ranch Purchase Agreement”) with Trio LLC for the purchase of a 21.918315% working interest in the McCool Ranch Oil Field located in Monterey County near our flagship South Salinas Project; we initially recorded a payment of $100,000 upon the execution of the McCool Ranch Purchase Agreement, at which time Trio LLC began refurbishment operations with respect to the San Ardo WD-1 water disposal well (the “WD-1”) to determine if it was capable of reasonably serving the produced water needs for the assets. With refurbishment successfully accomplished, we were obligated to pay an additional $400,000 per the McCool Ranch Purchase Agreement; to date, operations have been successfully restarted at three wells, and we expect to restart the last two wells in the restart program during the calendar quarter ending September 30, 2024. As of July 31, 2024, we have paid approximately $270,000 during the year for restarting production operations on the assets and have a liability recorded of approximately $130,000 to Trio LLC as of July 31, 2024.

Optioned Assets – Asphalt Ridge Leasehold Acquisition & Development Option Agreement

 

On November 10, 2023, we entered into a leasehold acquisition and development option agreement (“ARLO Agreement”) with Heavy Sweet Oil, LLC (“HSO”) for a term of nine months, which gives the Company the exclusive right to acquire up to a 20% interest in a 960 acre drilling and production program in the Asphalt Ridge leases for $2,000,000, which may be invested in tranches by us, with an initial tranche closing for an amount no less than $500,000 and paid within seven days subsequent to HSO providing certain required items to the Company.

 

On December 29, 2023, we entered into an amendment to the ARLO Agreement, whereby we funded $200,000 of the $500,000 payable by us to HSO at the Initial Closing, in advance of HSO satisfying certain required items for a 2% interest in the leases; such funds are to be used by HSO solely for the building of roads and related infrastructure in furtherance of the development of the leases. During the quarterly period ended April 30, 2024, we announced the commencement of drilling activities at Asphalt Ridge and two wells (the HSO 8-4 and the HSO 2-4) were spud during May 2024; a third well is planned to be drilled in the third calendar quarter of 2024.

 

We have until October 10, 2024 to pay HSO an additional $1,775,000 to exercise an option for the remaining 17.75% working interest in the initial 960 acres of the Asphalt Ridge Leases; if this option is not exercised on or before such date, we will forfeit any further right to acquire this additional 17.75% working interest in the initial 960 acres. As of July 31, 2024, we have paid a total of $225,000 to HSO in costs related to infrastructure and have a 2.25% interest in the leases; such costs are capitalized costs and are reflected in the balance of the oil and gas property as of July 31, 2024.

 

Emerging Growth Company Status

 

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act, and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. We have elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, we, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of our financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Revenues, net

 

Revenues, net increased for the three months ended July 31, 2024 by approximately $0.1 million as compared to the prior period, which had no revenue; we sold and shipped approximately 1,000 barrels of oil, primarily produced from the HH-1 well.

 

Exploration expenses

 

Under the successful efforts method of accounting for crude oil and natural gas properties, exploration expenses consist primarily of exploratory geological and geophysical costs, delay rentals and exploratory overhead, and are expensed as incurred. Exploration expenses decreased by approximately $190,000 as compared to the prior year period due to a decrease in exploratory, geological, and geophysical costs incurred during the quarter.

 

General and administrative expenses

 

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel expenses, including salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation expense for employees and consultants in executive, finance and accounting, legal, operations support, information technology and human resource functions. General and administrative expenses also include corporate facility costs including rent, utilities, depreciation, amortization and maintenance, as well as legal fees related to intellectual property and corporate matters and fees for accounting and consulting services.

 

General and administrative expenses increased for the three months ended July 31, 2024 by approximately $0.1 million as compared to the prior period, which is a nominal amount.

 

Stock-based compensation expenses

 

We record stock-based compensation expenses for costs associated with options and restricted shares granted in connection with the Plan, as well as for shares issued as payment for services. Stock-based compensation expense decreased by approximately $0.5 million for the three months ended July 31, 2024 as compared to the prior period due to the amortization of approximately $260,000 in expense for consulting services and $300,000 in expense for shares that vested in the prior period; such expenses was not present in the current period.

 

Accretion expenses

 

We have an Asset Retirement Obligation (“ARO”) recorded that is associated with our oil and natural gas properties in the SSP; the fair value of the ARO was recorded as a liability and is accreted over time until the date the ARO is to be paid. For the three months ended July 31, 2024, accretion expenses remained consistent with that of the prior year period.

 

29

 

 

Other expenses, net

 

For the three months ended July 31, 2024, Other expenses, net increased by approximately $0.7 million compared to the prior year period. The increase is primarily due to increased non-cash interest expense of $0.7 million, which is recognized as debt discounts on financings are amortized; there were no such financings in the prior period.

Other expenses, net

 

For the nine months ended July 31, 2024, Other expenses, net increased by approximately $1.1 million compared to the prior year period. The increase is due to increased non-cash interest expense of $1.1 million, which is recognized as debt discounts on financings are amortized; there were less financings in the prior period.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Working Capital Deficiency

 

Our working capital deficiency as of July 31, 2024, in comparison to our working capital deficiency as of October 31, 2023, can be summarized as follows:

 

   July 31, 2024   October 31, 2023 
Current assets  $617,710   $1,695,341 
Current liabilities   3,588,138    1,851,386 
Working capital deficiency  $(2,970,428)  $(156,045)

 

Current assets decreased because of i) a decrease to the cash account of approximately $1.3 million due to increased payroll expenses and additional cash outlays for capital expenditures for the oil and gas properties, offset by an increase in prepaid assets of approximately $0.2 million. Current liabilities increased because of i) an increase in accounts payable of approximately $0.8 million, as well as increases in other current liabilities and notes payable – related parties of approximately $0.6 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

 

Cash Flows

 

Our cash flows for the nine months ended July 31, 2024, in comparison to our cash flows for the nine months ended July 31, 2023, can be summarized as follows:

 

   Nine months ended July 31, 
   2024   2023 
Net cash provided by/(used in) operating activities  $118,642   $(2,542,360)
Net cash used in investing activities   (1,138,561)   (1,804,050)
Net cash (used in)/provided by financing activities   (248,898)   5,778,790 
Net change in cash  $(1,268,817)  $1,432,380 

 

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

 

For the nine months ended July 31, 2024 and 2023, cash provided by/(used in) operating activities was $118,642 and ($2,542,360), respectively. The cash provided by operations for the nine months ended July 31, 2024 was primarily attributable to our net loss of $7,926,554, adjusted for non-cash expenses in the aggregate amount of $6,853,494, as well as $1,191,702 of net cash provided to fund changes in the levels of operating assets and liabilities. Our cash used in operations for the nine months ended July 31, 2023 was primarily attributable to our net loss of $5,224,839, adjusted for non-cash expenses in the aggregate amount of $2,481,724, as well as $200,755 of net cash provided to fund changes in the levels of operating assets and liabilities.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

 

For the nine months ended July 31, 2024 and 2023, cash used in investing activities was $1,138,561 and $1,804,050, respectively. The cash used during the current period is attributable to approximately $1.1 million related to costs for capital expenditures, which were capitalized and are reflected in the balance of the oil and gas property as of July 31, 2024. Cash used from investing activities for the nine months ended July 31, 2023 was attributable to approximately $3.0 million related to drilling exploratory wells and approximately $200,000 related to acquisition costs, both of which were capitalized and reflected in the balance of the oil and gas property as of July 31, 2023. These amounts were offset by approximately $1.4 million in amounts used from the Advance to Operators account, which was designated for costs for the HV-1 well.

 

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

 

For the nine months ended July 31, 2024 and 2023, cash (used in)/provided by financing activities was ($248,898) and $5,778,790, respectively. Cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended July 31, 2024 was primarily attributable to approximately $2.5 million from the issuance of promissory notes, related party notes and convertible notes payable, offset by payments for the convertible debt in the amount of approximately $2.6 million and debt issuance costs of $0.2 million. Cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended July 31, 2023 was primarily attributable to $6.4 million in gross proceeds from the issuance of common stock and $1.8 million in proceeds from the exercise of warrants, offset by the payment of offering costs of approximately $1.0 million and the payment of notes payables of approximately $1.5 million.

 

Our cash change was a decrease of approximately $1.3 million as of July 31, 2024. Management believes that the cash on hand and working capital are sufficient to meet its current anticipated cash requirements for anticipated capital expenditures and operating expenses for the next twelve months.

 

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

 

Unproved Property Leases

 

We hold various leases related to the unproved properties of the South Salinas Project; two of the leases are held with the same lessor. The first lease, which covers 8,417 acres, was amended on May 27, 2022 to provide for an extension of then-current force majeure status for an additional, uncontested twelve months, during which we would be released from having to evidence to the lessor the existence of force majeure conditions. As consideration for the granting of the lease extension, we paid the lessor a one-time, non-refundable payment of $252,512; this amount was capitalized and reflected in the balance of the oil and gas property as of October 31, 2022. The extension period commenced on June 19, 2022 and currently, the “force majeure” status has been extinguished by the drilling of the HV-1 well. The ongoing operation and oil production at the HV-3A well maintain the validity of the lease.

 

The second lease covers 160 acres of the South Salinas Project; it is currently held by delay rental and is renewed every three years. Until drilling commences, we are required to make delay rental payments of $30/acre per year. We are currently in compliance with this requirement and have paid in advance the delay rental payment for the period from October 2023 through October 2024.

 

We hold interests in various leases related to the unproved properties of the McCool Ranch Oil Field. These leases occur in two parcels, “Parcel 1” and “Parcel 2”. Parcel 1 comprises ten leases and approximately 480 acres, which are held by delay rental payments that are paid-up and current. Parcel 2 comprises one lease and approximately 320 acres, which is held by production. The total leasehold comprises approximately 800 gross and net acres.

 

During February and March of 2023, we entered into additional leases related to the unproved properties of the South Salinas Project with two groups of lessors. The first group of leases covers 360 acres and has a term of 20 years; we are required to make rental payments of $25/acre per year. We are currently in compliance with this requirement and have paid in advance the rental payment for the period February 2024 through February 2025. The second group of leases covers 307.75 acres and has a term of 20 years; we are required to make rental payments of $30/acre per year. We are currently in compliance with this requirement and have paid in advance the rental payment for the period from March 2024 through March 2025.

 

On November 10, 2023, we entered into the ARLO Agreement with HSO for a term of nine months which allows us the exclusive right to acquire up to a 20% interest in a 960 acre drilling and production program in the Asphalt Ridge leases for $2,000,000, which may be invested in tranches, with an initial tranche closing for an amount no less than $500,000 and paid within seven days subsequent to HSO providing certain required items to us.

 

On December 29, 2023, we entered into an amendment to the ARLO Agreement, whereby we funded $200,000 of the $500,000 payable by us to HSO at the Initial Closing, in advance of HSO satisfying certain required items for a 2% interest in the leases; such funds are to be used by HSO solely for the building of roads and related infrastructure in furtherance of the development of the leases. As of July 31, 2024, we have paid a total of $225,000 to HSO in costs related to infrastructure and has obtained a 2.25% interest in the leases; such costs are capitalized costs and are reflected in the balance of the oil and gas property as of July 31, 2024.

Board of Directors Compensation

 

On July 11, 2022, our Board of Directors approved compensation for each of the non-employee directors of the Company, which would be effective upon the consummation of the IPO. Such compensation is structured as follows: an annual retainer of $50,000 cash plus an additional $10,000 for each Board committee upon which the Director serves, each paid quarterly in arrears. Payment for this approved compensation commenced upon successful completion of our IPO in April 2023; for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2024, we have recognized $55,000 and $165,000, respectively, in directors’ fees, and for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2023, we have recognized $78,132 and $78,132, respectively, in directors’ fees.

 

Agreements with Advisors

 

On October 4, 2023 and December 29, 2023, we entered into additional placement agent agreements with Spartan, whereby Spartan would serve as the exclusive placement agent in connection with the closing of private placements. The agreements provided the agent with i) a cash fee 7.5% of the aggregate proceeds raised in the sale and ii) warrants to purchase a number of common shares equal to 5% of the number of common shares initially issuable upon conversion of each note tranche; warrants to purchase 83,333 and 55,000 common shares with exercise prices of $1.32 and $0.55 for the first and second tranches, respectively, were issued to Spartan as of January 31, 2024. Such warrants may be exercised beginning 6 months after issuance until four- and one-half years thereafter.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Basis of Presentation

 

We prepare our financial statements in conformity with GAAP, which requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions and apply judgments. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends and other factors that management believes to be important at the time the condensed financial statements are prepared, and actual results could differ from our estimates and such differences could be material. Due to the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain, materially different amounts could be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. On a regular basis, we review our critical accounting policies and how they are applied in the preparation of our condensed financial statements, as well as the sufficiency of the disclosures pertaining to our accounting policies in the footnotes accompanying our financial statements. Described below are the most significant policies we apply in preparing our condensed financial statements, some of which are subject to alternative treatments under GAAP. We also describe the most significant estimates and assumptions we make in applying these policies.

 

Oil and Gas Assets and Exploration Costs – Successful Efforts

 

Our projects are in exploration and/or early production stages and we began generating revenue from its operations during the quarterly period ended April 30, 2024. We apply the successful efforts method of accounting for crude oil and natural gas properties. Under this method, exploration costs such as exploratory, geological, and geophysical costs, delay rentals and exploratory overhead are expensed as incurred. If an exploratory property provides evidence to justify potential development of reserves, drilling costs associated with the property are initially capitalized, or suspended, pending a determination as to whether a commercially sufficient quantity of proved reserves can be attributed to the area as a result of drilling. At the end of each quarter, management reviews the status of all suspended exploratory property costs considering ongoing exploration activities; in particular, whether we are making sufficient progress in our ongoing exploration and appraisal efforts. If management determines that future appraisal drilling or development activities are unlikely to occur, associated exploratory well costs are expensed.

 

Costs to acquire mineral interests in crude oil and/or natural gas properties, drill and equip exploratory wells that find proved reserves and drill and equip development wells are capitalized. Acquisition costs of unproved leaseholds are assessed for impairment during the holding period and transferred to proven crude oil and/or natural gas properties to the extent associated with successful exploration activities. Significant undeveloped leases are assessed individually for impairment, based on our current exploration plans, and a valuation allowance is provided if impairment is indicated. Capitalized costs from successful exploration and development activities associated with producing crude oil and/or natural gas leases, along with capitalized costs for support equipment and facilities, are amortized to expense using the unit-of-production method based on proved crude oil and/or natural gas reserves on a field-by-field basis, as estimated by qualified petroleum engineers. We currently have four wells that are producing (one well in President’s Field in the South Salinas Project and three wells at the McCool Ranch Oil Field) and are evaluating the impact of production on the reserve determination for those wells and fields. We expect to add the reserve value of such fields to our reserve report after a further period of observation and review of the oil production.

 

33

 

 

Unproved oil and natural gas properties

 

Unproved oil and natural gas properties have unproved lease acquisition costs, which are capitalized until the lease expires or otherwise until we specifically identify a lease that will revert to the lessor, at which time we charge the associated unproved lease acquisition costs to exploration costs.

 

Unproved oil and natural gas properties are not subject to amortization and are assessed periodically for impairment on a property-by-property basis based on remaining lease terms, drilling results or future plans to develop acreage. We currently have four wells that are producing (one well in President’s Field in the South Salinas Project and three wells at the McCool Ranch Oil Field) and are evaluating the impact of production on the reserve determination for those wells and fields. We expect to add the reserve value of such fields to our reserve report after a further period of observation and review of the oil production. As of July 31, 2024 and October 31, 2023, all of our oil and gas properties were classified as unproved properties and were not subject to depreciation, depletion and amortization.

 

Impairment of Other Long-lived Assets

 

We review the carrying value of our long-lived assets annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical cost-carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. We assess the recoverability of the carrying value of the asset by estimating the future net undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition. If the future net undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset’s carrying value and estimated fair value. With regards to oil and gas properties, this assessment applies to proved properties; unproved properties are assessed for impairment either at an individual property basis or a group basis.

 

Asset Retirement Obligations

 

ARO consists of future plugging and abandonment expenses on oil and natural gas properties. In connection with the South Salinas Project acquisition described above, we acquired the plugging and abandonment liabilities associated with six temporarily shut-in, idle wells. The fair value of the ARO was recorded as a liability in the period in which the wells were acquired with a corresponding increase in the carrying amount of oil and natural gas properties. We plan to utilize the six wellbores acquired in the South Salinas Project acquisition in future production, development and/or exploration activities. The liability is accreted for the change in its present value each period based on the expected dates that the wellbores will be required to be plugged and abandoned. The capitalized cost of ARO is included in oil and gas properties and is a component of oil and gas property costs for purposes of impairment and, if proved reserves are found, such capitalized costs will be depreciated using the units-of-production method. The asset and liability are adjusted for changes resulting from revisions to the timing or the amount of the original estimate when deemed necessary. If the liability is settled for an amount other than the recorded amount, a gain or loss is recognized.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

All recently issued but not yet effective accounting pronouncements have been deemed to be not applicable or immaterial to us.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

Not Applicable. As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

We are not currently subject to any legal proceedings.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

If we are not able to comply with the applicable continued listing requirements or standards of the NYSE American, our common stock could be delisted from the NYSE American.

 

On February 26, 2024, we received written notice (the “Notice”) from the NYSE American LLC (“NYSE American”) indicating that we are not in compliance with the continued listing standard set forth in Section 1003(f)(v) of the NYSE American Company Guide (“Section 1003(f)(v)”) because the shares of our common stock have been selling for a substantial period of time at a low price per share. The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of our shares of common stock and our common stock will continue to trade on the NYSE American under the symbol “TPET” with the designation of “.BC” to indicate that we are not in compliance with the NYSE American’s continued listing standards. Additionally, the Notice does not result in the immediate delisting of our common stock from the NYSE American.

 

Pursuant to Section 1003(f)(v), the NYSE American staff (the “Staff”) determined that the continued listing of our shares of common stock on the NYSE American is predicated on effecting a reverse stock split of our common stock or demonstrating sustained price improvement within a reasonable period of time, which the Staff determined to be no later than August 26, 2024. The Notice further stated that as a result of the foregoing, we have become subject to the procedures and requirements of Section 1009 of the NYSE American Company Guide, which could, among other things, result in the initiation of delisting proceedings, unless we cure the deficiency in a timely manner. The NYSE American may also accelerate delisting action in the event that our common stock trades at levels viewed by the Staff to be abnormally low.

 

On May 1, 2024, the NYSE American notified the Company that it had regained compliance with the NYSE American listing requirements with respect to Section 1003(f)(v) of the NYSE American Company Guide due to its shares of common stock demonstrating sustained price improvement.

 

Our operations may be dependent on sources of electricity and/or natural gas that may be unreliable or costly.

 

Oil and gas operations, including our operations, commonly require significant electricity and/or natural gas as power sources to operate facilities. Some oil and gas operations are power self-sourced, for example producing natural gas to run facilities including to generate electricity. Some oil operations historically were permitted to burn crude oil to power operations but this is commonly not permitted today due to associated greenhouse gas emissions. Our South Salinas Project may produce sufficient natural gas to be power self-sourced and even to deliver gas to market. The McCool Ranch Oil Field produces black oil without associated natural gas, and historically has received natural gas through an existing pipeline that has had excess capacity. The excess capacity available might not be adequate to meet our demand. If establishing and/or maintaining reliable sources of affordable electricity and/or natural gas are problematic or delayed, this could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

NATURE OF THE ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF THE ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

 

Company Organization

 

Trio Petroleum Corp. (“Trio Petroleum”, the “Company” or “TPET”) is a California-based oil and gas exploration and development company headquartered in Bakersfield, California, with its principal executive offices located at 5401 Business Park South, Suite 115, Bakersfield, California 93309, and with operations in Monterey County, California, and Uintah County, Utah. The Company was incorporated on July 19, 2021, under the laws of Delaware to acquire, fund, and operate oil and gas exploration, development and production projects, initially focusing on one major asset in California, the South Salinas Project (“South Salinas Project”). The Company has since acquired interests in the McCool Ranch Oil Field in Monterey County, California, and in the Asphalt Ridge Project in Uintah County, Utah. The Company has had revenue-generating operations since the McCool Ranch Oil Field was restarted on February 22, 2024, and recognized its first revenues in the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2024, and received the proceeds from these operations in June 2024.

 

Acquisition of South Salinas Project

 

The Company was initially formed to acquire from Trio Petroleum LLC (“Trio LLC”) an approximate 82.75% working interest (which was subsequently increased to an approximate 85.775% working interest in April 2023), in the large, approximately 9,300-acre South Salinas Project that is located in Monterey County, California, and subsequently partner with certain members of Trio LLC’s management team to develop and operate those assets. In September 2021, the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (“Trio LLC PSA”) with Trio LLC to acquire the purchased percentage of the South Salinas Project’s leases, wells and inventory in exchange for $300,000 cash, a non-interest-bearing note payable of $3,700,000 and 4,900,000 shares of the Company’s $0.0001 par value common stock (which constituted 45% of the total number of issued shares of the Company at that time). The Company accounted for the purchase as an asset acquisition, as prescribed in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805 – Business Combinations. The assets and associated asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) were recorded based on relative fair value at the estimated fair value of the consideration paid. The Company holds an approximate 68.62% interest after the application of royalties (“net revenue interest”) in the South Salinas Project, while Trio LLC holds an approximate 3.8% working interest in the South Salinas Project; the Company and Trio LLC are separate and distinct companies.

 

There are two contiguous areas of notable oil/gas accumulations in the South Salinas Project; the first is the Humpback Area that occurs in the northern part of the project and the second is the Presidents Area (“Presidents Oil Field”) that occurs in the southern part of the project. As of July 31, 2024 and October 31, 2023, there were no proved reserves attributable to the approximate 9,300 acres of the property. Since it was returned to production in March 2024, the HV-3A well at the South Salinas Project has been producing oil with a generally favorable oil-water ratio; the Company expects to take steps to improve oil production from this well in the third or fourth calendar quarter of 2024 and expects to receive the first revenue from oil produced from the well in the third calendar quarter of 2024.

 

Initial Public Offering

 

The Company’s Registration Statement (Amendment No. 9) on Form S-1/A was filed with the SEC on March 24, 2023; its Initial Public Offering was declared effective on April 17, 2023 and closed on April 20, 2023 (collectively, the “Offering” or “IPO”). The Company sold two million shares of its common stock for total gross proceeds of $6,000,000, which is described more fully in Note 4.

 

Additional Acquisitions - McCool Ranch Oil Field & Asphalt Ridge Leasehold

 

In October 2023, the Company entered into an agreement (“McCool Ranch Purchase Agreement”) with Trio LLC for purchase of a 21.918315% working interest in the McCool Ranch Oil Field located in Monterey County near the Company’s flagship South Salinas Project; the Company initially began refurbishment operations with respect to a water disposal well. After refurbishment was successfully accomplished, the Company restarted production operations on the assets (see Note 5 for further information). In November 2023, the Company entered into a leasehold acquisition and development option agreement (“ARLO Agreement”) with Heavy Sweet Oil, LLC (“HSO”), which gave the Company a 9-month option for the exclusive right to acquire up to a 20% interest in a 960-acre drilling and production program in the Asphalt Ridge leases for $2,000,000. In December 2023, the Company amended the agreement and funded $200,000 in exchange for an immediate 2% interest in the leases; subsequently, in January 2024, the Company funded an additional $25,000 resulting in a total 2.25% working interest in the leases. Such funds are to be used for the building of roads and related infrastructure in furtherance of the development of the leases; at present, the Company has until October 10, 2024 to pay HSO an additional approximate $1.775 million to exercise the option for the remaining 17.75% interest in the leases (see Note 6 for further information).

 

Emerging Growth Company

 

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTE 2 –SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Amounts presented in the balance sheet as of October 31, 2023 are derived from our audited financial statements as of that date. The unaudited condensed financial statements as of and for the three- and nine-month periods ended July 31, 2024 and 2023 have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and the interim reporting rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on June 13, 2024. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments (unless otherwise indicated), necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, equity-based transaction and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the revenue and expenses during the reporting period.

 

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Some of the more significant estimates required to be made by management include estimates of oil and natural gas reserves (when and if assigned) and related present value estimates of future net cash flows therefrom, the carrying value of oil and natural gas properties, accounts receivable, bad debt expense, ARO and the valuation of equity-based transactions. Accordingly, actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“Topic 606”) requires an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services; refer to Note 5 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers for additional information.

 

The Company’s revenue is comprised of revenue from exploration and production activities to produce oil. The Company’s oil is sold to one customer who is a marketer, and payment is received in the month following delivery.

 

The Company recognizes sales revenues from oil when control transfers to the customer at the time of delivery. Revenue is measured based on the contract price, which may include adjustments for market differentials and downstream costs incurred by the customer, including gathering, transportation or short load fees.

 

Revenues are recognized for the sale of the Company’s percentage of working interest, adjusted for any incoming and outstanding expenses and oil and gas assessments.

 

Debt Issuance Costs

 

Costs incurred in connection with the issuance of the Company’s debt have been recorded as a direct reduction against the debt and amortized over the life of the associated debt as a component of interest expense. As of July 31, 2024 and October 31, 2023, the Company recorded $210,778 and $350,320 in debt issuance costs, respectively.

 

 

Oil and Gas Assets and Exploration Costs – Successful Efforts

 

The Company’s projects are in exploration and/or early production stages and the Company began generating revenue from its operations during the quarterly period ended April 30, 2024. It applies the successful efforts method of accounting for crude oil and natural gas properties. Under this method, exploration costs such as exploratory, geological, and geophysical costs, delay rentals and exploratory overhead are expensed as incurred. If an exploratory property provides evidence to justify potential development of reserves, drilling costs associated with the property are initially capitalized, or suspended, pending a determination as to whether a commercially sufficient quantity of proved reserves can be attributed to the area as a result of drilling. At the end of each quarter, management reviews the status of all suspended exploratory property costs considering ongoing exploration activities; in particular, whether the Company is making sufficient progress in its ongoing exploration and appraisal efforts. If management determines that future appraisal drilling or development activities are unlikely to occur, associated exploratory well costs are expensed.

 

Costs to acquire mineral interests in crude oil and/or natural gas properties, drill and equip exploratory wells that find proved reserves and drill and equip development wells are capitalized. Acquisition costs of unproved leaseholds are assessed for impairment during the holding period and transferred to proven crude oil and/or natural gas properties to the extent associated with successful exploration activities. Significant undeveloped leases are assessed individually for impairment, based on the Company’s current exploration plans, and a valuation allowance is provided if impairment is indicated. Capitalized costs from successful exploration and development activities associated with producing crude oil and/or natural gas leases, along with capitalized costs for support equipment and facilities, are amortized to expense using the unit-of-production method based on proved crude oil and/or natural gas reserves on a field-by-field basis, as estimated by qualified petroleum engineers. The Company currently has four wells that are producing (one well in President’s Field in the South Salinas Project and three wells at the McCool Ranch Oil Field) and is evaluating the impact of production on the reserve determination for those wells and fields. The Company expects to add the reserve value of such fields to the Company’s reserve report after a further period of observation and review of the oil production. As of July 31, 2024 and October 31, 2023, all of the Company’s oil and gas properties were classified as unproved properties and were not subject to depreciation, depletion and amortization.

 

Unproved oil and natural gas properties

 

Unproved oil and natural gas properties have unproved lease acquisition costs, which are capitalized until the lease expires or otherwise until the Company specifically identifies a lease that will revert to the lessor, at which time the Company charges the associated unproved lease acquisition costs to exploration costs.

 

Unproved oil and natural gas properties are not subject to amortization and are assessed periodically for impairment on a property-by-property basis based on remaining lease terms, drilling results or future plans to develop acreage. The Company currently has four wells that are producing (one well in President’s Field in the South Salinas Project and three wells at the McCool Ranch Oil Field) and is evaluating the impact of production on the reserve determination for those wells and fields. The Company expects to add the reserve value of such fields to the Company’s reserve report after a further period of observation and review of the oil production. As of July 31, 2024 and October 31, 2023, all of the Company’s oil and gas properties were classified as unproved properties and were not subject to depreciation, depletion and amortization; see further discussion in Note 6.

 

Impairment of Other Long-lived Assets

 

The Company reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical cost-carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. The Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value of the asset by estimating the future net undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition. If the future net undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset’s carrying value and estimated fair value. With regards to oil and gas properties, this assessment applies to proved properties.

 

Asset Retirement Obligations

 

ARO consists of future plugging and abandonment expenses on oil and natural gas properties. In connection with the South Salinas Project (“SSP”) acquisition described above, the Company acquired the plugging and abandonment liabilities associated with six non-producing wells. The fair value of the ARO was recorded as a liability in the period in which the wells were acquired with a corresponding increase in the carrying amount of oil and natural gas properties not subject to impairment. The Company plans to utilize the six wellbores acquired in the SSP acquisition in future exploration, production and/or disposal (i.e., disposal of produced water or CO2 by injection) activities. The liability is accreted for the change in its present value each period based on the expected dates that the wellbores will be required to be plugged and abandoned. The capitalized cost of ARO is included in oil and gas properties and is a component of oil and gas property costs for purposes of impairment and, if proved reserves are found, such capitalized costs will be depreciated using the units-of-production method. The asset and liability are adjusted for changes resulting from revisions to the timing or the amount of the original estimate when deemed necessary. If the liability is settled for an amount other than the recorded amount, a gain or loss is recognized.

 

 

Components of the changes in ARO are shown below:

 

ARO, ending balance – October 31, 2023  $51,091 
Accretion expense   2,084 
ARO, ending balance – July 31, 2024   53,175 
Less: ARO – current   2,778 
ARO, net of current portion – July 31, 2024  $50,397 

 

Related Parties

 

Related parties are directly or indirectly related to the Company, through one or more intermediaries and are in control, controlled by, or under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. The Company discloses all related party transactions. On September 14, 2021, the Company acquired an 82.75% working interest (which was subsequently increased to an 85.775% working interest as of April 2023) in the SSP from Trio LLC in exchange for cash, a note payable to Trio LLC and the issuance of 4.9 million shares of common stock. As of the date of the acquisition, Trio LLC owned 45% of the outstanding shares of the Company and was considered a related party. As of July 31, 2024 and October 31, 2023, Trio LLC owned less than 1% and 1%, respectively, of the outstanding shares of the Company.

 

Environmental Expenditures

 

The operations of the Company have been, and may in the future be, affected from time to time to varying degrees by changes in environmental regulations, including those for future reclamation and site restoration costs. Both the likelihood of new regulations and their overall effect upon the Company vary greatly and are not predictable. The Company’s policy is to meet or, if possible, surpass standards set by relevant legislation by application of technically proven and economically feasible measures.

 

Environmental expenditures that relate to ongoing environmental and reclamation programs are charged against earnings as incurred or capitalized and amortized depending on their future economic benefits. All of these types of expenditures incurred since inception have been charged against earnings due to the uncertainty of their future recoverability. Estimated future reclamation and site restoration costs, when the ultimate liability is reasonably determinable, are charged against earnings over the estimated remaining life of the related business operation, net of expected recoveries.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

All recently issued but not yet effective accounting pronouncements have been deemed to be not applicable or immaterial to the Company.

GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT’S LIQUIDITY PLANS

NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT’S LIQUIDITY PLANS

 

As of July 31, 2024, the Company had $293,107 in its operating bank account and a working capital deficit of $2,970,428. To date, the Company has been funding operations through proceeds from the issuance of common stock, financing through certain investors, the consummation of its IPO in April 2023 (see Note 4), and convertible note financing under two tranches in October 2023 and December 2023, pursuant to which it raised total gross proceeds of $2,371,500. Additionally, the Company received funds in the amount of $125,000 from an unsecured promissory note from its CEO (see Note 9), as well as gross proceeds of $184,500 from a promissory note with an investor in March 2024 (see Note 9) and gross proceeds of $720,000 from convertible debt financing with two investors in April 2024 (see Note 9). As of the end of the third fiscal quarter, the Company received gross proceeds of $720,000 from convertible note financing with the same April 2024 investors (see Note 9) and subsequent to the quarter, secured a financing with gross proceeds of $134,000 from the March 2024 investor (see Note 13). The Company also expects to receive additional funding from a public offering on Form S-1, an amendment to which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on August 8, 2024.

 

 

The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern over the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these condensed financial statements, which assumes the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of July 31, 2024, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $18,373,436 and has experienced losses from continuing operations. Based on the Company’s cash balance as of July 31, 2024 and projected cash needs for the twelve months following the issuance of these condensed financial statements, management estimates that it will need to generate sufficient sales revenue and/or raise additional capital to cover operating and capital requirements. Management will need to raise the additional funds by issuing additional shares of common stock or other equity securities or obtaining additional debt financing. Although management has been successful to date in raising necessary funding and obtaining financing through investors, there can be no assurance that any required future financing can be successfully completed on a timely basis, on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all. Based on these circumstances, management has determined that these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the twelve months following the issuance of these condensed financial statements.

 

Accordingly, the accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

During the three and nine months ended July 31, 2024, the Company incurred aggregated exploration costs of $8,054 and $132,871, respectively; these expenses were exploratory, geological and geophysical costs and were expensed on the statement of operations during the applicable periods. For capitalized costs, the Company incurred approximately $1.1 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2024; these expenses were related to drilling exploratory wells and acquisition costs, both of which were capitalized and reflected in the balance of the oil and gas property as of July 31, 2024.

 

During the three and nine months ended July 31, 2023, the Company incurred aggregated exploration costs of $199,637 and $225,052, respectively; these expenses were exploratory, geological and geophysical costs and were expensed on the statement of operations during the applicable periods. For capitalized costs, the Company incurred approximately $3.2 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2023; these costs were related to drilling exploratory wells and acquisition costs, both of which were capitalized and reflected in the balance of the oil and gas property as of July 31, 2023.

 

 

Leases

 

South Salinas Project

 

As of July 31, 2024, the Company holds interests in various leases related to the unproved properties of the South Salinas Project (see Note 8); two of the leases are held with the same lessor. The first lease, which covers 8,417 acres, was amended on May 27, 2022 to provide for an extension of then-current force majeure status for an additional, uncontested twelve months, during which the Company would be released from having to evidence to the lessor the existence of force majeure conditions. As consideration for the granting of the lease extension, the Company paid the lessor a one-time, non-refundable payment of $252,512; this amount was capitalized and reflected in the balance of the oil and gas property as of October 31, 2022. The extension period commenced on June 19, 2022 and currently, the “force majeure” status has been extinguished by the drilling of the HV-1 well. The ongoing operations and oil production at the HV-3A well maintains the validity of the lease.

 

The second lease covers 160 acres of the South Salinas Project; it is currently held by delay rental and is renewed every three years. Until drilling commences, the Company is required to make delay rental payments of $30/acre per year. The Company is currently in compliance with this requirement and has paid in advance the delay rental payment for the period from October 2023 through October 2024.

 

During February and March of 2023, the Company entered into additional leases related to the unproved properties of the South Salinas Project with two groups of lessors. The first group of leases covers 360 acres and has a term of 20 years; the Company is required to make rental payments of $25/acre per year. The Company is currently in compliance with this requirement and has paid in advance the rental payment for the period February 2024 through February 2025. The second group of leases covers 307.75 acres and has a term of 20 years; the Company is required to make rental payments of $30/acre per year. The Company is currently in compliance with this requirement and has paid in advance the rental payment for the period from March 2024 through March 2025.

 

McCool Ranch Oil Field

 

In October 2023, the Company entered into the McCool Ranch Purchase Agreement with Trio LLC for purchase of a 21.918315% working interest in the McCool Ranch Oil Field located in Monterey County near the Company’s flagship South Salinas Project; the Company initially recorded a payment of $100,000 upon execution of the McCool Ranch Purchase Agreement, at which time Trio LLC began refurbishment operations with respect to the San Ardo WD-1 water disposal well (the “WD-1”) to determine if it was capable of reasonably serving the produced water needs for the assets. With refurbishment successfully accomplished, the Company is obligated to pay an additional $400,000 per the McCool Ranch Purchase Agreement; it has paid approximately $270,000 to date for restarting production operations on the assets and has recorded a liability of approximately $130,000 for the remainder as of the end of the period. These additional costs are capitalized costs and are reflected in the balance of the oil and gas property as of July 31, 2024.

 

The Company holds interests in various leases related to the unproved properties of the McCool Ranch Oil Field; these leases occur in two parcels, “Parcel 1” and “Parcel 2”.

Optioned Assets – Old Man Prospect

 

In October 2023, the Company and Lantos Energy entered into an option agreement, whereby the Company has the option to pay two initial payments of $12,500 each and a final subsequent payment of $175,000, for a total of $200,000 within 120 days of the effective date for exclusive rights to the option to purchase 80% of the 100% Before Project Payout Working Interest (“BPPWI”) in Lantos’ oil and gas leasehold interests in Solano County, California (referred to as the Old Man Prospect). As of January 31, 2024, the Company has paid approximately $25,000 towards the purchase of this option. Due to technical risks identified during due diligence and due to other considerations, the Company did not make the final $175,000 payment and as a result the 120-day option period has expired.

 

Optioned Assets – Asphalt Ridge Leasehold Acquisition & Development Option Agreement

 

On November 10, 2023, the Company entered into the ARLO Agreement with HSO for a term of nine months which gives the Company the exclusive right to acquire up to a 20% interest in a 960 acre drilling and production program in the Asphalt Ridge leases for $2,000,000, which may be invested in tranches by the Company, with an initial tranche closing for an amount no less than $500,000 and paid within seven days subsequent to HSO providing certain required items to the Company.

 

 

On December 29, 2023, the Company entered into an amendment to the ARLO Agreement, whereby the Company funded $200,000 of the $500,000 payable by the Company to HSO at the Initial Closing, in advance of HSO satisfying certain required items for a 2% interest in the leases; such funds are to be used by HSO solely for the building of roads and related infrastructure in furtherance of the development of the leases. As of July 31, 2024, the Company has paid a total of $225,000 to HSO in costs related to infrastructure and has obtained a 2.25% interest in the leases; such costs are capitalized costs and are reflected in the balance of the oil and gas property as of July 31, 2024.

 

The Company has until October 10, 2024 to pay HSO an additional $1,775,000 to exercise an option for the remaining 17.75% working interest in the initial 960 acres of the Asphalt Ridge Leases. If the Company raises sufficient funds in its current public offering (for which an amendment to its Form S-1 was filed with the SEC on August 8, 2024), it plans to use $1,775,000 of the net proceeds received to exercise the remaining 17.75% working interest in the Asphalt Ridge Leases. If this option is not exercised on or before such date, the Company will forfeit any further right to acquire this additional 17.75% working interest in the initial 960 acres.

The shares, or RSUs, vested as of February 28, 2024.

 

On June 19, 2024, the Company agreed to award one million restricted stock units to a newly appointed director under the Plan; as there were only 455,000 shares remaining for issuance under the Plan, 450,000 RSUs were awarded immediately with a fair value of $0.30 per share for a grant date value of $134,550 and the remaining 550,000 RSUs will be awarded to the director if and when the number of shares available under the Plan have been increased, with shareholder approval, and there are a sufficient number of shares available for such additional award of RSUs. With regards to vesting, 25% of the RSUs vest six months after the date of issuance and the remaining RSUs will vest in equal amounts quarterly thereafter. For the three and nine months ended July 31, 2024, the Company recognized stock-based compensation for these awards in the amount of $7,720 and $184,980, respectively, within stock-based compensation expenses on the income statement, with $126,830 of unrecognized expense as of the period ended July 31, 2024.

After this date, the remainder vest in equal tranches every six months until fully vested. As the Plan was not adopted until October 17, 2022, these shares will be recorded as of that date at a fair value of $0.294 per share; such value was calculated via a third-party valuation performed using income and market methods, as well as a discounted cash flow method, with the terminal value using a market multiples method, adjusted for a lack of marketability.

From time to time, the Company is subject to various claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. Management believes that any liability of the Company that may arise out of or with respect to these matters will not materially adversely affect the financial position, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company.

 

Unproved Property Leases

 

The Company holds interests in various leases related to the unproved properties of the South Salinas Project (see Note 6); two of the leases are held with the same lessor. The first lease, which covers 8,417 acres, was amended on May 27, 2022 to provide for an extension of then-current force majeure status for an additional, uncontested twelve months, during which the Company would be released from having to evidence to the lessor the existence of force majeure conditions. As consideration for the granting of the lease extension, the Company paid the lessor a one-time, non-refundable payment of $252,512; this amount was capitalized and reflected in the balance of the oil and gas property as of October 31, 2022. The extension period commenced on June 19, 2022 and currently, the “force majeure” status has been extinguished by the drilling of the HV-1 well. The ongoing operations and oil production at the HV-3A well maintains the validity of the lease.

 

 

The second lease covers 160 acres of the South Salinas Project; it is currently held by delay rental and is renewed every three years. Until drilling commences, the Company is required to make delay rental payments of $30/acre per year. The Company is currently in compliance with this requirement and has paid in advance the delay rental payment for the period from October 2023 through October 2024.

 

The Company holds interests in various leases related to the unproved properties of the McCool Ranch Oil Field. These leases occur in two parcels, “Parcel 1” and “Parcel 2”.

Compliance with NYSE American

 

On February 26, 2024, the Company received written notice from the NYSE American LLC (“NYSE American”) indicating that the Company is not in compliance with the continued listing standard set forth in Section 1003(f)(v) of the NYSE American Company Guide (“Section 1003(f)(v)”) because the shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) have been selling for a substantial period of time at a low price per share. The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s Common Stock and the Common Stock will continue to trade on the NYSE American under the symbol “TPET” with the designation of “. BC” to indicate that the Company is not in compliance with the NYSE American’s continued listing standards. Additionally, the Notice does not result in the immediate delisting of the Company’s Common Stock from the NYSE American.

 

Pursuant to Section 1003(f)(v), the NYSE American staff (the “Staff”) determined that the Company’s continued listing is predicated on effecting a reverse stock split of its Common Stock or demonstrating sustained price improvement within a reasonable period of time, which the Staff determined to be no later than August 26, 2024.

 

On May 1, 2024, the NYSE American notified the Company that it had regained compliance with the NYSE American listing requirements with respect to Section 1003(f)(v) of the NYSE American Company Guide due to its shares of common stock demonstrating sustained price improvement.

Convertible note – investors (October 2023 SPA)

 

On October 4, 2023, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “October 2023 SPA”) with an investor; the October 2023 SPA provides for loans in an aggregate principal amount of up to $3.5 million under two tranches, with first and second tranche fund amounts of $2.0 million and $1.5 million, respectively.

 

In consideration for the investor’s funding of the first tranche, the Company issued i) a senior secured convertible promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $2,000,000 (the “Note”) and ii) a warrant to purchase up to 866,702 shares of Common Stock at an initial exercise price of $1.20 per share of Common Stock, subject to certain adjustments (the “Common Warrant”). The Note was initially convertible into shares of Common Stock at conversion price of $1.20, subject to certain adjustments (the “Conversion Price”), provided that the Conversion Price shall not be reduced below $0.35 (the “Floor Price”). The Note did not bear any interest and matured on April 4, 2025.

 

Upon the initial funding on October 4, 2023, the Company recorded gross proceeds of approximately $2.0 million, a 7% original issue discount of $140,000 and debt issuance costs of $350,320, for net proceeds of approximately $1.5 million. The Company also issued a warrant to purchase up to 866,702 shares of common stock with an aggregate relative fair value of $332,630; the factors used to determine fair value were a share price of $0.55, an exercise price of $1.20, an expected term of 5 years, annualized volatility of 137.10%, a dividend rate of zero percent and a discount rate of 4.72%.

 

On December 18, 2023, December 29, 2023 and January 12, 2024, the Company made principal payments towards the first tranche in the amounts of $125,000, $125,000, and $125,000, respectively, which it converted into shares at 103% for conversion amounts of $128,750, $128,750 and $128,750, respectively. Conversion shares were issued numbering 367,858, 367,858 and 367,858, respectively, at fair values per share of $0.34, $0.31 and $0.29, respectively, for total amounts of $125,072, $114,036 and $105,575, with cash payments of $36,698, $35,837 and $49,935 made to the investor for the difference between the monthly conversion price and the floor price listed in the most recent amendment to the agreement. Additionally, losses in the amounts of $36,770, $24,873 and $30,510, respectively, were recognized for the difference between the value of the shares issued and the principal payment amounts.

 

On December 29, 2023, the Company entered into an amendment to the Second Tranche Note of the October 2023 SPA, which reduced the conversion price of note and exercise price of warrant from $1.20 to $0.50; the Company accounted for the amendment as a warrant modification, whereby the effect of the modification is measured as the difference in its relative fair value immediately before the modification and after the modification, and any increase to the relative fair value is recognized as an equity issuance cost.

 

To assess for the change in relative fair value, the Company performed a Black Scholes Option Model calculation to quantify the fair value of the common warrants under their original terms as of the modification date using the following assumptions: a share price of $0.31, an exercise price of $1.20, an expected term of 5.0 years, volatility of 137.1%, a dividend rate of 0% and a discount rate of 3.84%. The Company then performed a Black Scholes Option Model calculation to quantify the fair value of the common warrants with their new modified terms as of the modification date using the following assumptions: a share price of $0.31, an exercise price of $0.50, an expected term of 5.0 years, volatility of 137.1%, a dividend rate of 0% and a discount rate of 3.84%. The aggregate difference of approximately $0.1 million between the two calculated amounts was recorded as an equity issuance cost within equity during the period to account for the change in relative fair value.

 

On January 2, 2024, the second tranche of the October 2023 SPA was funded, and the Company recorded gross proceeds of approximately $550,000, a 7% original issue discount of $38,500 and debt issuance costs of $90,978, for net proceeds of approximately $421,000. The Company also issued warrants to purchase up to 445,564 shares of common stock with an aggregate relative fair value of $98,708; the factors used to determine fair value were a share price of $0.32, an exercise price of $0.50, an expected term of 5 years, annualized volatility of 137.10%, a dividend rate of zero percent and a discount rate of 3.93%.

 

On February 1, 2024, February 16, 2024, March 22, 2024 and April 2, 2024, the Company made principal payments towards the first tranche in the amounts of $625,000, $125,000, $125,000, and $750,000, respectively, which it converted into shares at 103% for conversion amounts of $643,750, $128,750, $128,750 and $772,500, respectively. Conversion shares were issued numbering 1,839,286, 858,333, 858,333 and 5,149,997, respectively, at fair values per share of $0.24, $0.13, $0.10 and $0.17, respectively, for total amounts of $441,428, $113,300, $84,117 and $881,165, with a cash payment of $32,247 made to the investor for the difference between the monthly conversion price and the floor price listed in the most recent amendment to the agreement for the February 16, 2024 conversion.

April 2024 Convertible Debt Financings

 

On April 24, 2024, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Securities Purchase Agreement (the “A&R SPA”), pursuant to which two institutional investors (the “April 2024 Investors”) provided an aggregate of $720,000 in financing on April 17, 2024 and April 24, 2024 (the “April 2024 Financings’) resulting in net proceeds to the Company, after offering expenses, of $664,000. The Company also issued to the April 2024 Investors an aggregate of 1,500,000 shares of common stock, as and for a commitment fee in connection with the April 2024 Financings (the “Commitment Shares”). The commitment shares were issued separately in two amounts of 750,000 common shares at fair values of $0.49 per share and $0.40 per share for values totaling $366,000 and $301,500, respectively; such amounts are debt issuance costs and were recorded as debt discounts to be amortized over the life of the agreement. For the three and nine months ended July 31, 2024, the Company amortized $503,361 and $560,189, respectively, in noncash interest expense related to the commitment shares.

 

Pursuant to the provisions of the A&R SPA, the Company granted “piggy-back registration rights” to the April 2024 Investors for the registration for resale of the Commitment Shares and the Conversion Shares (defined hereafter). Additionally, until 18 months after the later of (i) August 16, 2024 or the full repayment of the April 2024 Investors Notes (defined hereafter), the Company provided the April 2024 Investors with the right to jointly participate in future financings in an amount up to 100% of any debt financing and up to 45% of any other type of financing. Further, the Company is prohibited from entering into any variable rate transactions for as long as the April 2024 Investors hold any of the Commitment Shares; provided, however, that the Company is permitted to enter into At-the-Market offerings with a nationally recognized broker-dealer. The Company has also agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to consummate a reverse stock split of its shares of common stock, in the event that it is required in order to maintain the listing of its common stock on the NYSE American.

 

 

In connection with the April 2024 Financings, the Company issued Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes to the April 2024 Investors in the aggregate principal amount of $800,000 (the “April 2024 Investors Notes”), having an aggregate original issue discount of $80,000, or 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the April Notes. There is no interest payable on the outstanding balance of the April 2024 Investors Notes, unless an Event of Default has occurred, in which case interest will accrue on the outstanding balance of the April 2024 Investors Notes at a rate of 15% per annum until cured (the “Default Interest”). The Company may prepay all or any portion of the April 2024 Investors Notes at any time, provided that it also makes an equal prepayment, with respect to each of the April 2024 Investors Notes, and must prepay both of the April 2024 Investors Notes in full from the proceeds of any debt or equity financing of the Company generating, in a single transaction or a series of related transactions, gross proceeds of not less than $1,000,000, during any time that either of the April 2024 Investors Notes remain outstanding. In May 2024, the April 2024 Investors have provided limited waivers to the Company, which waivers require the Company to only pay 50% of the outstanding balance of the April 2024 Investors Notes upon any equity or debt financing generating less than $5,000,000 in gross proceeds if such financing takes place before June 30, 2024. The maturity date of both April 2024 Investors Notes is August 16, 2024. The Company also incurred debt issuance costs of $56,000 in connection with the issuance of the April 2024 Investor Notes; the values of such costs and the original issue discount noted above (which total $136,000) are recorded as debt discounts and amortized as the life of the April 2024 Investors Notes; as of July 31, 2024, the balance of April 2024 Investor Notes, net of discounts, was $671,836 and the Company amortized $102,557 and $115,148 in noncash interest expense related to these debt discounts for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2024, respectively.

 

The April 2024 Investors Notes are convertible into shares common stock of the Company (the “Conversion Shares”) at a per share conversion price of $0.25, subject to certain adjustments. The April 2024 Investors Notes also contain certain beneficial ownership limitations prohibiting the April 2024 Investors from converting the April 2024 Investors Notes, if any such conversion would result in an April 2024 Investor’s ownership of shares in excess of the applicable beneficial ownership limitation. The April 2024 Investors Notes also contain customary provisions constituting an Event of Default (as such term is defined in the April 2024 Investors Notes) and, in addition to the requirement to pay Default Interest upon an Event of Default, after an Event of Default has existed for at least 15 days without being cured, the April 2024 Investors Notes may be accelerated by the April 2024 Investors, in which case they will become immediately due and payable.

 

The Company also granted to the April 2024 Investors a senior security interest in and to all of the Company’s assets and non-real estate properties, subject to certain exceptions, securing repayment of the April 2024 Investors Notes as set forth in an Amended and Restated Security Agreement, dated April 24, 2024, between the Company and the April 2024 Investors (the “A&R Security Agreement”).

Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, interest shall accrue on the June 2024 Notes at a rate equal to 10% per annum or, if less, the highest amount permitted by law.

All monthly payments are payable by the Company in cash, provided that under certain circumstances, as provided in the June 2024 Notes, the Company may elect to pay in shares of Common Stock.

 

The Company may repay all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the June 2024 Notes, subject to a 5% pre-payment premium; provided that (i) the Equity Conditions (as such term is defined in the June 2024 Notes) are then met, (ii) the closing price of the Common Stock on the trading day prior to the date that a prepayment notice is provided by the Company is not below the then June 2024 Conversion Price, and (iii) a resale registration statement registering June 2024 Conversion Shares and June Financing Warrant Shares has been declared effective by SEC.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)

Jul. 31, 2024
Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Amounts presented in the balance sheet as of October 31, 2023 are derived from our audited financial statements as of that date. The unaudited condensed financial statements as of and for the three- and nine-month periods ended July 31, 2024 and 2023 have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and the interim reporting rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on June 13, 2024. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments (unless otherwise indicated), necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

 

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, equity-based transaction and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the revenue and expenses during the reporting period.

 

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Some of the more significant estimates required to be made by management include estimates of oil and natural gas reserves (when and if assigned) and related present value estimates of future net cash flows therefrom, the carrying value of oil and natural gas properties, accounts receivable, bad debt expense, ARO and the valuation of equity-based transactions. Accordingly, actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

 

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

 

ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“Topic 606”) requires an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services; refer to Note 5 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers for additional information.

 

The Company’s revenue is comprised of revenue from exploration and production activities to produce oil. The Company’s oil is sold to one customer who is a marketer, and payment is received in the month following delivery.

 

The Company recognizes sales revenues from oil when control transfers to the customer at the time of delivery. Revenue is measured based on the contract price, which may include adjustments for market differentials and downstream costs incurred by the customer, including gathering, transportation or short load fees.

 

Revenues are recognized for the sale of the Company’s percentage of working interest, adjusted for any incoming and outstanding expenses and oil and gas assessments.

 

Debt Issuance Costs

Debt Issuance Costs

 

Costs incurred in connection with the issuance of the Company’s debt have been recorded as a direct reduction against the debt and amortized over the life of the associated debt as a component of interest expense. As of July 31, 2024 and October 31, 2023, the Company recorded $210,778 and $350,320 in debt issuance costs, respectively.

 

 

Oil and Gas Assets and Exploration Costs – Successful Efforts

Oil and Gas Assets and Exploration Costs – Successful Efforts

 

The Company’s projects are in exploration and/or early production stages and the Company began generating revenue from its operations during the quarterly period ended April 30, 2024. It applies the successful efforts method of accounting for crude oil and natural gas properties. Under this method, exploration costs such as exploratory, geological, and geophysical costs, delay rentals and exploratory overhead are expensed as incurred. If an exploratory property provides evidence to justify potential development of reserves, drilling costs associated with the property are initially capitalized, or suspended, pending a determination as to whether a commercially sufficient quantity of proved reserves can be attributed to the area as a result of drilling. At the end of each quarter, management reviews the status of all suspended exploratory property costs considering ongoing exploration activities; in particular, whether the Company is making sufficient progress in its ongoing exploration and appraisal efforts. If management determines that future appraisal drilling or development activities are unlikely to occur, associated exploratory well costs are expensed.

 

Costs to acquire mineral interests in crude oil and/or natural gas properties, drill and equip exploratory wells that find proved reserves and drill and equip development wells are capitalized. Acquisition costs of unproved leaseholds are assessed for impairment during the holding period and transferred to proven crude oil and/or natural gas properties to the extent associated with successful exploration activities. Significant undeveloped leases are assessed individually for impairment, based on the Company’s current exploration plans, and a valuation allowance is provided if impairment is indicated. Capitalized costs from successful exploration and development activities associated with producing crude oil and/or natural gas leases, along with capitalized costs for support equipment and facilities, are amortized to expense using the unit-of-production method based on proved crude oil and/or natural gas reserves on a field-by-field basis, as estimated by qualified petroleum engineers. The Company currently has four wells that are producing (one well in President’s Field in the South Salinas Project and three wells at the McCool Ranch Oil Field) and is evaluating the impact of production on the reserve determination for those wells and fields. The Company expects to add the reserve value of such fields to the Company’s reserve report after a further period of observation and review of the oil production. As of July 31, 2024 and October 31, 2023, all of the Company’s oil and gas properties were classified as unproved properties and were not subject to depreciation, depletion and amortization.

 

Unproved oil and natural gas properties

Unproved oil and natural gas properties

 

Unproved oil and natural gas properties have unproved lease acquisition costs, which are capitalized until the lease expires or otherwise until the Company specifically identifies a lease that will revert to the lessor, at which time the Company charges the associated unproved lease acquisition costs to exploration costs.

 

Unproved oil and natural gas properties are not subject to amortization and are assessed periodically for impairment on a property-by-property basis based on remaining lease terms, drilling results or future plans to develop acreage. The Company currently has four wells that are producing (one well in President’s Field in the South Salinas Project and three wells at the McCool Ranch Oil Field) and is evaluating the impact of production on the reserve determination for those wells and fields. The Company expects to add the reserve value of such fields to the Company’s reserve report after a further period of observation and review of the oil production. As of July 31, 2024 and October 31, 2023, all of the Company’s oil and gas properties were classified as unproved properties and were not subject to depreciation, depletion and amortization; see further discussion in Note 6.

 

Impairment of Other Long-lived Assets

Impairment of Other Long-lived Assets

 

The Company reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical cost-carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. The Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value of the asset by estimating the future net undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition. If the future net undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset’s carrying value and estimated fair value. With regards to oil and gas properties, this assessment applies to proved properties.

 

Asset Retirement Obligations

Asset Retirement Obligations

 

ARO consists of future plugging and abandonment expenses on oil and natural gas properties. In connection with the South Salinas Project (“SSP”) acquisition described above, the Company acquired the plugging and abandonment liabilities associated with six non-producing wells. The fair value of the ARO was recorded as a liability in the period in which the wells were acquired with a corresponding increase in the carrying amount of oil and natural gas properties not subject to impairment. The Company plans to utilize the six wellbores acquired in the SSP acquisition in future exploration, production and/or disposal (i.e., disposal of produced water or CO2 by injection) activities. The liability is accreted for the change in its present value each period based on the expected dates that the wellbores will be required to be plugged and abandoned. The capitalized cost of ARO is included in oil and gas properties and is a component of oil and gas property costs for purposes of impairment and, if proved reserves are found, such capitalized costs will be depreciated using the units-of-production method. The asset and liability are adjusted for changes resulting from revisions to the timing or the amount of the original estimate when deemed necessary. If the liability is settled for an amount other than the recorded amount, a gain or loss is recognized.

 

 

Components of the changes in ARO are shown below:

 

ARO, ending balance – October 31, 2023  $51,091 
Accretion expense   2,084 
ARO, ending balance – July 31, 2024   53,175

Related Parties

Related Parties

 

Related parties are directly or indirectly related to the Company, through one or more intermediaries and are in control, controlled by, or under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. The Company discloses all related party transactions. On September 14, 2021, the Company acquired an 82.75% working interest (which was subsequently increased to an 85.775% working interest as of April 2023) in the SSP from Trio LLC in exchange for cash, a note payable to Trio LLC and the issuance of 4.9 million shares of common stock. As of the date of the acquisition, Trio LLC owned 45% of the outstanding shares of the Company and was considered a related party. As of July 31, 2024 and October 31, 2023, Trio LLC owned less than 1% and 1%, respectively, of the outstanding shares of the Company.

 

Environmental Expenditures

Environmental Expenditures

 

The operations of the Company have been, and may in the future be, affected from time to time to varying degrees by changes in environmental regulations, including those for future reclamation and site restoration costs. Both the likelihood of new regulations and their overall effect upon the Company vary greatly and are not predictable. The Company’s policy is to meet or, if possible, surpass standards set by relevant legislation by application of technically proven and economically feasible measures.

 

Environmental expenditures that relate to ongoing environmental and reclamation programs are charged against earnings as incurred or capitalized and amortized depending on their future economic benefits. All of these types of expenditures incurred since inception have been charged against earnings due to the uncertainty of their future recoverability. Estimated future reclamation and site restoration costs, when the ultimate liability is reasonably determinable, are charged against earnings over the estimated remaining life of the related business operation, net of expected recoveries.

Debt instrument description           The Investor Note contains provisions constituting an Event of Default (as such term is defined in the March 2024 Investor Note) and, upon an Event of Default, the March 2024 Investor Note will be accelerated and become due and payable in an amount equal to 150% of all amounts due and payable under the March 2024 Investor Note with interest at a default rate of 22% per annum. In addition, upon an Event of Default, the March 2024 Investor has the right to convert all or any outstanding amount of the March Investor Note into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to the greater of (i) 75% of the Market Price (as such term is defined in the March 2024 Investor Note) or (ii) the conversion floor price, which is $0.07117 (the “Floor Price”); provided, however, that the Floor Price shall not apply after October 5, 2024, and thereafter, the conversion price will be 75% of the Market Price. Issuance of shares of common stock to the March 2024 Investor is subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations and not more than 19.99% of the shares of common stock outstanding on March 29, 2024 may be issued upon conversion of the March 2024 Investor Note. The conversion price is also subject to certain adjustments or other terms in the event of (i) mergers, consolidations or recapitalization events or (ii) certain distributions made to holders of shares of common stock.
