Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is a measure of a company’s ability to meet potential cash requirements. As discussed above, we have historically met our capital requirements through the issuance of common stock as well as proceeds from the exercise of warrants and options to purchase common shares.

Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon obtaining the necessary financing to complete further exploration and development activities and generate profitable operations from our oil and natural gas interests in the future. Our current operations are dependent upon the adequacy of our current assets to meet our current expenditure requirements and the accuracy of management’s estimates of those requirements. Should those estimates be materially incorrect, our ability to continue as a going concern will be in doubt. Our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. We have incurred a history of operating losses and negative cash flows from operations. Therefore, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

During the past two completed fiscal years, we have financed our operations primarily from the proceeds of sales of our stock under the Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, we raised approximately $16,257,000 and $6,949,000, respectively, under the Plan. Of the amounts raised, approximately 57% of the amounts raised in 2024 were attributable to one participant and 54% of the amounts raised in 2023 were attributable to one participant. The cessation of funding from these participants may result in adverse consequences to our business, such as a delay in our testing efforts, until we locate alternate sources for this funding.

At December 31, 2024, we had approximately $2,272,000 in cash and cash equivalents compared to $615,000 at December 31, 2023. Our working capital (current assets minus current liabilities) was $1,702,000 at December 31, 2024 and ($349,000) at December 31, 2023.

As of December 31, 2024, and 2023, the Company provided Israeli-required bank guarantees to various governmental bodies (approximately $972,000 and $944,000, respectively) and others (approximately $93,000 and $90,000, respectively) with respect to
