The loan bears interest rate at twelve percent (12%) per annum, calculated on the principal loan amount from the loan date until the maturity date. The loan is recorded under Other Current Liabilities. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were $283,295 and nil of such loan classified under other current liabilities, respectively.

NOTE 7 – FINANCIAL LIABILITY

On January 21, 2022 (the “Initial Closing Date”), the Company closed an initial $5,000,000 tranche (the “First Tranche”) of a total then anticipated $7,000,000 private placement with L1 Capital Global Opportunities Master Fund (“L1 Capital”) pursuant to the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated January 21, 2022, between the Company and L1 Capital (the “Purchase Agreement”). In connection with the closing of the First Tranche, the Company issued to the L1 Capital (i) a 6% Original Issuance Discount Senior Convertible Note in a principal amount of up to $7,000,000 (the “Note”) and (ii) a five-year Ordinary Share Purchase Warrant (the “Initial Warrant”) to purchase up to 383,620 ordinary shares at an exercise price of $6.00 per share, subject to adjustment. As of the date of the original Purchase Agreement, a second tranche (the “Second Tranche”) of funding under the Note in the amount of $2,000,000 (the “Second Tranche Amount”) was contemplated. The Note was subject to a deduction of a 6.0% original issuance discount. Except as upon an Event of Default (as defined in the Note), the Note did not bear interest.

Beginning 120 days after the Initial Closing Date, the Company was required to commence monthly installment payments of the Note through maturity (or 14 payments) (“Monthly Payments”), which Monthly Payments could be made, at the Company’s election, in cash or ordinary shares (or a combination of cash and ordinary shares), with such ordinary shares being issued at a valuation equal to the lesser of: (i) $6.00 per share or (ii) 90% of the average of the two lowest closing bid prices of the ordinary shares for the ten (10) consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately prior to the payment date, with a floor price of $1.20 per share. In addition, at any time following the date of effectiveness of a Registration Statement covering the applicable ordinary shares underlying the Note (such Registration Statement was declared effective on June 1, 2022), the Note is convertible (in whole or in part), at the option of L1 Capital, into such number of fully paid and non-assessable ordinary shares determined by dividing (x) that portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Note that L1 Capital elects to convert by (y) $6.00 per share, which price was subject to adjustment as provided in the Note. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default that has not been remedied, the Company would be obligated to pay to L1 Capital an amount equal to one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the outstanding principal amount of the Amended Note on the date on which the first Event of Default has occurred.

On March 4, 2022, the Company and L1 Capital entered into a First Amendment to the Purchase Agreement and an Amended and Restated Senior Convertible Promissory Note (the “Amended Note”) pursuant to which, among other items, Second Tranche Amount was increased from $2,000,000 to $5,000,000. Upon the funding of the Second Tranche Amount, L1 Capital was entitled to receive an additional five-year Ordinary Share Purchase Warrant (the “Second Warrant”) to purchase up to 383,620 ordinary shares at $6.00 per share (subject to adjustment).

On May 16, 2022, the Company and L1 Capital entered into a Second Amended and Restated Senior Convertible Promissory Note which amends and restates the Amended Note in its entirety (the “Second Amended Note” and collectively with the Note and the Amended Note, the “Notes”). Among other matters, the Second Amended Note provided for an accelerated funding of the Second Tranche Amount, which was funded to the Company on May 23, 2022, at which time the Second Warrant was issued to L1 Capital.

Accounting for convertible notes

Adoption of ASU 2020-06

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) (“ASU 2020-06”). The update removes separation models for (i) convertible debt with a cash conversion feature and (ii) convertible instruments with a beneficial conversion feature. Under ASU 2020-06, these features will be combined with the host contract. ASU 2020-06 does not impact the accounting treatment for conversion features that are accounted for as a derivative under Topic 815. The update also requires the application of the if-converted method to be used for convertible instruments and the effect of potential share settlement be included in the diluted earnings per share calculation when an instrument may be settled in cash or shares. The amendments in this update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendment is to be adopted through either a fully retrospective or modified retrospective method of transition, only at the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has elected to adopt the standard as of January 1, 2022.

The Company evaluated the terms of its Notes with L1 Capital and concluded that the instrument does not require separation and that there were no other derivatives that required separation. The Company evaluated the embedded features of the Notes in accordance with ASC 815-15-25 and determined that the most significant feature is the equity-like conversion option, which is not clearly and closely related to the debt host instrument. The Company further determined it would not meet the definition of a derivative, and therefore not required to be bifurcated and separately measured at fair value. As a result, there is no equity component, and the Company recorded the Notes as a single liability within long-term debt on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.

The Initial Warrant and the Second Warrant (collectively, the “Warrants”) were issued in connection with the Notes, and exercise of such Warrants are not contingent upon conversion of the Notes; therefore, proceeds were allocated first to the Warrants based on their fair value and the residual were allocated to the Notes.

The Company incurred debt issuance costs associated with the Notes in the amount of $811,000, which are allocated to the Warrants based on assessed fair value of Warrants and residual proceeds allocated to Notes, compared to total proceeds received. Debt issuance costs associated with derivative warrant liabilities are expensed as incurred, presented as other expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Offering costs associated with the Notes were charged as a direct deduction from the principal amount of the Notes. Debt issuance and offering costs are recorded as debt discount, which is amortized as interest expense over the term of the convertible debt instrument using the effective interest method.

With regards to the Second Tranche, due to the relatively high closing price of the ordinary shares on May 23, 2022 (the date of issuance of the Second Warrant), the fair value of Second Warrant of $4,833,325 exceeds the net proceeds received (see below for details on accounting for warrants). $133,325 of insurance loss was recognized and no residual proceeds were allocated to Notes. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, the total proceeds from both tranches of the Notes have supported oil well drilling of the K-27 and K-28 wells and working capital general corporate purposes.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, $9,900,000 of the total $10,000,000 principal amount of the Notes has been converted into ordinary shares at $6.00 per share at L1 Capital’s election. On July 21, 2023, the Company repaid the remaining $100,000 principal amount of the Notes to L1 Capital in cash. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the carrying value balance of the convertible note was $0.

Accounting for warrants

The Warrants were issued in conjunction with the convertible note by a separate contract, and legally detachable and separately transferrable. The Warrants were exercisable via “cashless” exercise if there is not an effective registration statement covering resale of the ordinary share under the Warrants. The exercise price per ordinary share under the Warrants was $6.00 and subject to certain adjustments which do not meet the criteria for equity treatment in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40-15-7E. Accordingly at initial recognition, the Company classifies such warrants as liabilities at their fair value. This warrant liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.

The Company recognized $915,644 for warrant liabilities upon issuance of the Initial Warrant on January 24, 2022. The Company recognized $4,833,325 for warrant liabilities upon issuance of the Second Warrant on May 23, 2022.

The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of the Warrants at each reporting period since the Warrants are not actively traded. The estimated fair value of the Warrant liabilities is determined using Level 3 inputs in accordance with ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement”. Inherent in the Black-Scholes model are assumptions related to expected stock-price volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The Company estimates the volatility of its ordinary shares based on historical volatility of its own stock price during the period that matches the expected remaining life of the Warrants. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve on the grant date for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the Warrants. The expected life of the Warrants is assumed to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term. The dividend rate is based on the historical rate, which the Company anticipates remaining at zero.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, L1 Capital has exercised 325,000 of the Initial Warrant at $6.00 per share while the Company has received $1,950,000 proceeds from exercise of these warrants. During six months ended June 30, 2024, no warrant was exercised. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were 442,240 warrants issued and outstanding.

NOTE 8 – OPERATING LEASES

The Company accounts for leases in accordance with ASC Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”). All contracts are evaluated to determine whether or not they represent a lease. A lease conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company has operating leases primarily consisting of facilities with remaining lease terms of one year to three years. The lease term represents the period up to the early termination date unless it is reasonably certain that the Company will not exercise the early termination option.

Leases are classified as finance or operating in accordance with the guidance in ASC 842. The Company does not hold any finance leases as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

The Company also has certain short-term leases related to equipment and tools. A short-term lease is a lease with a term of 12 months or less and does not include the option to purchase the underlying asset that the Company would expect to exercise. The Company has elected to adopt the short-term lease exemption in ASC 842 and as such has not recognized a “right of use” asset or lease liability for these short-term leases.

The Company’s lease agreements generally do not provide an implicit borrowing rate, therefore the incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”) on a collateralized basis for a similar term as the underlying lease was used at lease commencement date for purposes of determining the present value of lease payments. As of June 30, 2024, there was no update to an incremental borrowing rate at 10%, which was a 3-year tenure secured borrowing rate as quoted by a local bank.

NOTE 9 – TAXES

The current and deferred components of the income tax provision which are substantially attributable to the Company’s subsidiaries in Indonesia. Due to the unrecovered expenditures on the Company’s Kruh Block operations, there was no provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The effective tax rate is based on expected income and statutory tax rates. For interim financial reporting, the Company estimates the annual tax rate based on projected taxable income for the full year and records an interim income tax provision in accordance with guidance on accounting for income taxes in an interim period. As the year progresses, the Company refines the estimates of the year’s taxable income as new information becomes available. The Company’s effective tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were 0% and 0%, respectively.

The Company did not incur any interest and penalties related to potential underpaid income tax expenses.

NOTE 10 – SHARE BASED COMPENSATION EXPENSES

On January 30, 2024, the Company issued 60,000 of the Company’s restricted ordinary shares to Frank Ingriselli, the Company’s President, pursuant to his employment agreement with the Company, with 30,000 shares vesting on July 1, 2024 and 30,000 shares vesting on January 1, 2025. Such ordinary shares were valued at $2.70 per share, which was based on the closing price of the shares traded on the NYSE American exchange on January 30, 2024.

NOTE 11 – EQUITY

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were 10,349,266 and 10,142,694 of ordinary shares, $0.00267 par value per share, issued and outstanding.

NOTE 12 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation

From time to time, the Company may be subject to routine litigation, claims, or disputes in the ordinary course of business. Litigation or any other legal or administrative proceeding, regardless of the outcome, is likely to result in substantial cost and diversion of our resources, including our management’s time and attention. The Company defends itself vigorously in all such matters. In the opinion of management, no pending or known threatened claims, actions or proceedings against the Company are expected to have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, the Company cannot predict with certainty the outcome or effect of any such litigation or investigatory matters or any other pending litigation or claims. There can be no assurance as to the ultimate outcome of any such lawsuits and investigations. The Company has no significant pending litigation as of June 30, 2024.

Commitments

As a requirement to acquire and maintain the operatorship of oil and gas blocks in Indonesia, the Company follows a work program and budget that includes firm capital commitments.

Currently, Kruh Block is operated under a KSO until May 2030, which was extended to 2035 in August 2023. The Company has material commitments related to its development and exploration activities in the Kruh Block and material commitments in regard to the exploration activity in the Citarum Block under a Production Sharing Contract with the Indonesian Special Task Force for Upstream Oil and Gas Business Activities (known as SKK Migas) (the “PSC”). The following table summarizes future commitments amounts on an undiscounted basis as of June 30, 2024 for all the planned expenditures to be carried out in Kruh Block and Citarum Block (this table takes into account the Company’s updated seismic and drilling plans for Kruh Block):

NOTE 13 – LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN

The Company reported a net loss of $2,099,146 and net cash used in operating activities of $700,941 for the six months ended June 30, 2024. In addition, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $41,682,583 and working capital of $2,432,159 as of June 30, 2024. The Company’s operating results for future periods are subject to numerous uncertainties and it is uncertain if the Company will be able to reduce or eliminate its net losses and achieve profitability for the foreseeable future. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company has financed the operations primarily through cash flow from operations, loans from banks, and proceeds from equity instrument financing, where necessary. On July 22, 2022, the Company entered into an At The Market Offering Agreement (the “ATM Agreement”) with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (the “Sales Agent”), acting as its sales agent, pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time, to or through the Sales Agent, ordinary shares having an aggregate gross offering price of up to $20,000,000. The ATM Agreement was amended on March 22, 2024 (“ATM Amendment No.1”), pursuant to which the Company may sell ordinary shares with an aggregate gross offering price of up to $9,600,000. The Company received net proceeds of $323,934 through issuance of ordinary shares by such ATM offering as of June 30, 2024. See Note 14 for information on additional funds raised via the ATM Agreement.

As of October 24, 2024, the Company had approximately $5.61 million of cash which is placed with financial institutions and is unrestricted as to withdrawal or use. Management’s plan for mitigating the conditions of substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern includes a combination of improving operational efficiency, cost reductions, debt and equity. In June 2024, new 3D seismic exploratory operations at the Company’s 63,000 acre Kruh Block commenced. Importantly, the Company anticipates that the results of this seismic work will allow it to drill one new production well at Kruh Block in early 2025, with the remaining 13 wells to be drilled between 2025 and 2028, subject to the availability of funding necessary to conduct such activity. The Company currently does not have any outstanding short-term or long-term bank borrowings balance. Management expects that it will be able to obtain new bank loans based on past experience and the Company’s good credit history. The Company intends to meet its cash requirements for the 12 months following the date of the issuance of the condensed consolidated financial statements through operations and the foregoing potential funding opportunities.

The Company believes that the Company’s current cash and cash equivalents and anticipated cash flows from operating and financing activities will be sufficient to meet its anticipated working capital requirements and commitments for at least the next 12 months after the issuance of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company has prepared the condensed consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis. If the Company encounters unforeseen circumstances that place constraints on its capital resources, management will be required to take various measures to conserve liquidity. Management cannot provide any assurance that the Company will be able to raise additional capital if needed.

NOTE 14 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company evaluated all events that occurred up to October 24, 2024 and determined that no events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the condensed consolidated financial statements except the following.

On August 22, 2024, 60,000 restricted ordinary shares that were issued to Frank Ingriselli, the Company’s President, as compensation became unrestricted.

As of the date of these interim condensed financial statements, a total of 2,981,253 ordinary shares have been issued through ATM and the Company has received aggregate net proceeds of $7,794,843 from January to September 2024   through issuance of ordinary shares through the ATM offering. A significant majority of these ordinary shares were issued subsequent to June 30, 2024. As such, as of October 24, 2024, the Company has approximately $5.61 million in cash and cash equivalents.
