    Impact of pandemic, tariffs, ukraine, isreal, israel, and middle east conflicts on our business.

    Our business and operations had been adversely affected by the pandemic in 2020. In 2021, as result of initial reopening of business activities in recovery from COVID-19, and the invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation in March 2022, and then in October 2023, the terrorist attack on Israel and then the February 2026 conflict with Iran by Israel and the USA and the subsequent blockade of the Straits of Hormuz which flows thru over 20% of the worlds energy trade thus there has been substantial volatility and uncertainty in oil and gas market prices. Now with a new US administration it was expected to be more favorable towards traditional energy sector, but the recent tariffs could trigger a political trade war leading to possible supply disruption. However, we cannot predict the future and the exact impact it will have on energy services and commodity prices due to other similar outbreaks or a peaceful resolution to the wars/ other political conflicts that could cause a rapid decline in overall energy prices. Our financial condition and results of operations have been and are likely to continue to be affected by future pandemics and other political and war conflicts. The timeline and potential magnitude of another pandemic, or outcome to possible trade wars, is currently unknown. The continuation or amplification of this virus, or war could continue to affect the US or the global economy, including our business and operations, and the supply and demand, more broadly for oil and gas prices and the industry.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1
    You will experience dilution of your ownership interest because of the future issuance of additional shares of our common stock and our preferred stock.

    If we raise additional capital through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of the Company held by existing shareholders will be reduced and those shareholders may experience significant dilution. In addition, we may also have to issue securities that may have rights, preferences and privileges senior to our common stock. In the event we seek to raise additional capital through the issuance of debt or its equivalents, this will result in increased interest expense.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2
    Conflicts of interest.

    The Company's principal executive officer and director also controls a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company's stock and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. As a result, no other persons can or will be able to affect any Company action except with the consent of these officers and directors, and in certain matters (such as compensation, incentive stock ownership, and continues employment), there may be an inherent conflict of interest unless such persons agree to abstain from voting on such matters, which they are not legally required to do. Our officer and director may also serve as officers and directors of other entities that are not affiliated with us. Such non-affiliates may be involved in similar business enterprises to ours.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3
    While not applicable to company currently because we do not meet any of the accelerated filer requirements. In the future, the price of our shares of common stock may decline and an inability to obtain future financing if the company is not able to comply with the accelerated filing and internal control reporting requirements imposed by the sec.

    As directed by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as amended by SEC Release No. 33-8934 on June 26, 2008, the SEC adopted rules requiring each public company to include a report of management on the company's internal controls over financial reporting in its annual reports. In addition, the independent registered public accounting firm auditing a company's financial statements must also attest to and report on management's assessment of the effectiveness of the company's internal controls over financial reporting as well as the operating effectiveness of the company's internal controls. We will be required to include a report of management on its internal control over financial reporting. The internal control report must include a statement - Of management's responsibility for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over its financial reporting;- Of management's assessment of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of year-end; and         - Of the framework used by management to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Furthermore, if we become a larger company than currently, our independent registered public accounting firm will be required to file its attestation report separately on our internal control over financial reporting on whether it believes that we have maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting. While we expect to expend significant resources in developing the necessary documentation and testing procedures required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, there is a risk that we may not be able to comply timely with all of the requirements imposed by this rule. If we are unable to receive a positive attestation from our independent registered public accounting firm with respect to our internal controls, investors and others may lose confidence in the reliability of our financial statements and our stock price and ability to obtain equity or debt financing as needed could suffer. In addition, in the event that our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to rely on our internal controls in connection with its audit of our financial statements, and in the further event that it is unable to devise alternative procedures in order to satisfy itself as to the material accuracy of our financial statements and related disclosures, it is possible that we would be unable to file our Annual Report on Form 10-K with the SEC, which could also adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock and our ability to secure additional financing as needed.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4
    Our articles of incorporation provide for indemnification of officers and directors at our expense and limit their liability which may result in a major cost to us and hurt the interests of our shareholders because corporate resources may be expended for the benefit of officers and/or directors.

    The Company's Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws include provisions that fully eliminate the personal liability of the directors of the Company for monetary damages possible under the laws of the State of Nevada or other applicable law. These provisions eliminate the liability of directors to the Company and its stockholders for monetary damages arising out of any violation of a director of his fiduciary duty of due care. Under Nevada law, however, such provisions do not eliminate the personal liability of a director for (i) breach of the director's duty of loyalty, (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct or knowing violation of law, (iii) payment of dividends or repurchases of stock other than from lawfully available funds, or (iv) any transaction from which the director derived an improper benefit. These provisions do not affect a director's liabilities under the federal securities laws or the recovery of damages by third parties.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 5
    There is no assurance that our common stock will ever trade on a recognized exchange. Therefore, you may be unable to liquidate your investment in our stock.

    There is a limited public trading market for our common stock and there can be no assurance that one will ever develop. Market liquidity will depend on the availability of shares in the marketplace, on the perception of our operating business, and on any steps that our management might take to bring us to the awareness of investors. There can be no assurance given that there will be any awareness generated. Consequently, investors may not be able to liquidate their investment or liquidate it at a price that reflects the value of the business. As a result, holders of our securities may not find purchasers for our securities should they decide to sell. Consequently, our securities should be purchased only by investors having no need for liquidity in their investment and who can hold our securities for an indefinite period of time.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 6
    Our common stock is considered a penny stock, which may be subject to restrictions on marketability, so you may not be able to sell your shares.

    We currently are subject to the SEC's "penny stock" rules while our shares of Common Stock sell below $5.00 per share. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00. The penny stock rules require broker-dealers to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer must also provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to completing the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer's confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction; the broker dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. The penny stock rules are burdensome and may reduce purchases of any offerings and reduce the trading activity for shares of our Common Stock. As long as our shares of Common Stock are subject to the penny stock rules, the holders of such shares of Common Stock may find it more difficult to sell their securities.

FAQ

What are “Risk Factors”?
Risk factors are any situations or occurrences that could make investing in a company risky. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires that publicly traded companies disclose their most significant risk factors. This is so that potential investors can consider any risks before they make an investment. They also offer companies protection, as a company can use risk factors as liability protection. This could happen if a company underperforms and investors take legal action as a result. It is worth noting that smaller companies, that is those with a public float of under $75 million on the last business day, do not have to include risk factors in their 10-K and 10-Q forms, although some may choose to do so.
How do companies disclose their risk factors?
Publicly traded companies initially disclose their risk factors to the SEC through their S-1 filings as part of the IPO process. Additionally, companies must provide a complete list of risk factors in their Annual Reports (Form 10-K) or (Form 20-F) for “foreign private issuers”. Quarterly Reports also include a section on risk factors (Form 10-Q) where companies are only required to update any changes since the previous report. According to the SEC, risk factors should be reported concisely, logically and in “plain English” so investors can understand them.
How can I use TipRanks risk factors in my stock research?
Use the Risk Factors tab to get data about the risk factors of any company in which you are considering investing. You can easily see the most significant risks a company is facing. Additionally, you can find out which risk factors a company has added, removed or adjusted since its previous disclosure. You can also see how a company’s risk factors compare to others in its sector. Without reading company reports or participating in conference calls, you would most likely not have access to this sort of information, which is usually not included in press releases or other public announcements. A simplified analysis of risk factors is unique to TipRanks.
