RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to six months ended June 30, 2022. For the six months ended June, 2023, the Company had a net loss from operations of $21,997 compared to a net income of $318,911 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, a change of $340,908. The primary reasons for the decreased net income are a decrease in royalty income, an increase in consulting expense and the change in the fair value of derivative liabilities. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded a gain in the change in fair value of derivative liability of $6,001 and $192,919, respectively. This item is a non - cash item and was recorded in accordance with ASC 850 - 40 - 15. This guidance requires entities to evaluate whether an equity - linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own stock by assessing the instrument’s contingent exercise provisions and settlement provisions. Instruments not indexed to their own stock fail to meet the scope exception of Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, ASC 815 - 10 - 15 - 74(a), and should be classified as a liability and marked - to - market. REVENUES Pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement with an unrelated third party, the Company has a 2 . 5 % gross overriding royalty on all petroleum substances produced from three oil sands leases located in the southeast portion of the Peace River oil sands area, that were sold in May, 2019 . For the six months ended June 30 , 2023 and 2022 , the Company earned royalties of $ 98 , 460 and $ 229 , 691 , respectively . DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS There was no discontinued operations activity in 2023 or 2022. INTEREST AND OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE) Included in other income (expense) for the six months ended June 30 , 2023 and 2022 is a foreign exchange gain of $ 2 , 684 and 875 , respectively . For the six months ended June 30 , 2023 and 2022 , other income (expense) included amortization of debt discount of $ 0 and $ 51 , 000 , respectively . In addition, for the six months ended June 30 , 2023 and 2022 , there was income of $ 6 , 001 and $ 192 , 919 from the change in fair value of derivative liability .
Liquidity and Capital Resources As of June 30 , 2023 , we had $ 64 , 237 in cash, a decrease of $ 16 , 668 from December 31 , 2022 . Management estimates that the Company will require approximately $ 200 , 000 to fund planned operations for the next twelve months . Therefore, current cash on hand is not sufficient to fund planned operations for 2023 . Our policy is to pay all operational expenses when due, provided that the vendor, in the normal course of business, has satisfied all necessary conditions for payment . Net cash used in operating activities during the six months ended June 30 , 2023 was $ 14 , 634 , compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $ 125 , 858 for the same period in the prior year . The decrease in cash provided by operating activities was the decrease in royalty income and the increased consulting expenses, offset by the change in the fair value of derivative liabilities . Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30 , 2023 and 2022 was $ 1 , 858 and $ 378 , respectively, resulting primarily from the change in the reclamation deposits . Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30 , 2023 and 2022 was $ 0 and $ 78 , 209 , respectively . For June 30 , 2022 , the financing activities consisted of the repayment of convertible debt . We are an exploration stage company with limited operating history, which raises substantial doubt as to our ability to successfully develop profitable business operations and makes an investment in our common shares very risky . We have no long - term debt . We believe that our available cash may not be sufficient to fund our working capital requirements to maintain, explore and develop our property interests for the next twelve months . If capital is not available to fund future operations, we will not be able to pursue our business plan and operations would come to a halt and our common shares could be nearly worthless . We will require substantial additional capital to participate in the development of our properties which have not had any production of oil or natural gas as well as for acquisition and/or development of other producing properties . Because we currently do not have any cash flow from operations, we need to raise additional capital, which may be in the form of loans from current shareholders and/or from private equity offerings . Our ability to access capital will depend on our success in participating in properties that are successful in exploring for and producing oil and gas at profitable prices . It will also be dependent upon the status of the capital markets at the time such capital is sought . Should sufficient capital not be available, the development of our business plan could be delayed and, accordingly, the implementation of our business strategy would be adversely affected . In such event it would not be likely that investors would obtain a profitable return on their investments or a return of their investments at all . We anticipate that we will incur the following expenditures through our current fiscal year : $15,000 in connection with property lease payments and follow up analysis on the Company’s oil sands properties $175,000 for operating expenses, including working capital, consulting fees, general and administrative, professional, legal and accounting expenses In 2023 , our capital requirements will mostly be associated with the maintenance of our lease payments to the Crown and general and administrative expenses . Going forward we expect the short - term and long - term funding of our oil and gas operations to be financed primarily through royalty income, equity issuance in the form of private placements and the exercise of warrants . In addition, we continue to work with potential partners to discuss funding arrangements which would facilitate furtherance of our property interests . We cannot be certain that any required additional financing will be available on terms favorable to us as the risky nature of this enterprise and lack of tangible assets places debt financing beyond the credit - worthiness required by most banks or typical investors of corporate debt until such time as the economic viability of our oil sands properties can be demonstrated . If additional funds are raised by the issuance of our equity securities, existing stockholders will experience dilution of their ownership interest . If adequate funds are not available or not available on acceptable terms, we may be unable to continue, fund expansion, pursue further development or respond to competitive pressures .
Our financing prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered in establishing a business in the oil and natural gas industries . We have yet to generate substantial revenues from operations . There is nothing at this time on which to base an assumption that our business operations will prove to be successful or that we will be able to operate profitably . Our future operating results will depend on many factors, including : our ability to raise adequate working capital success of our exploration and development demand for natural gas and oil the level of our competition our ability to attract and maintain key management and employees and our ability to efficiently explore, develop and produce sufficient quantities of marketable natural gas or oil in a highly competitive and speculative environment while maintaining quality and controlling costs Volatility of oil and gas prices and markets could make it more difficult for us to achieve profitability and less likely for investors in our common shares to receive a return on their investment . Our ability to achieve profitability is substantially dependent on prevailing prices for natural gas and oil . The amounts and price obtainable for any oil and gas production that we achieve will be affected by market factors beyond our control . If these factors are not favorable over time to our financial interests, it is likely that owners of our common shares could lose their investments . Such factors include : worldwide or regional demand for energy, which is affected by economic conditions the domestic and foreign supply of natural gas and oil weather conditions domestic and foreign governmental regulations political conditions in natural gas and oil producing regions the ability of members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries to agree upon and maintain oil prices and production levels the price and availability of other fuels Additionally, due to worldwide economic uncertainty, the availability and cost of funds for production and other expenses have become increasingly difficult, if not impossible, to project . These changes and events may materially affect our financial performance .
