Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Trio Petroleum Corp.

5401 Business Park South, Suite 115

Bakersfield, California 93309

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Trio Petroleum Corp. as of October 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholder’s equity, and cash flow for each of the years then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Trio Petroleum Corp. as of October 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as going concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As disclosed in Note 3 of the financial statements, the Company has suffered substantial net losses and negative cash flows from operations in recent years and is dependent on debt and equity financing to fund its operations, all of which raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding these matters are disclosed in Note 3. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the entity’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to Trio Petroleum Corp. in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Trio Petroleum Corp. is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEARS ENDED OCTOBER 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 245,000 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 October 31, 2024 and 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

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; per the most recent amendment to the ARLO Agreement signed in September 2024, the Company has until December 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 financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with US 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 statement, 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, ARO and the valuation of equity-based transactions. Accordingly, actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents as of October 31, 2024 and 2023.

Prepaid Expenses

Prepaid expenses consist primarily of prepaid services which will be expensed as the services are provided within twelve months. As of October 31, 2024 and 2023, the balances of the prepaids account were $279,274 and $133,417, respectively.

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 October 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded $259,903 and $350,320 in debt issuance costs.

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 October 31, 2024 and 2023, all of the Company’s oil and gas properties were classified as unproved properties and were not subject to depreciation, depletion and amortization.

F-8

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 October 31, 2024 and 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.

As of October 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had no impairment of long-lived assets.

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 for the years ended October 31, 2023 and 2024 are shown below:

ARO, ending balance - October 31, 2022	$	48,313
Accretion expense		2,778

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 245,000 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 October 31, 2024 and 2023, Trio LLC owned less than 1% and 1%, respectively, of the outstanding shares of the Company.

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets, including tax loss and credit carry forwards, and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Company utilizes ASC 740, Income Taxes, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method to compute the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and the related financial amounts, using currently enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is “more likely than not” that a deferred tax asset will not be realized. At October 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company’s net deferred tax asset has been fully reserved.

For uncertain tax positions that meet a “more likely than not” threshold, the Company recognizes the benefit of uncertain tax positions in the financial statements. The Company’s practice is to recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense in the statements of operations when a determination is made that such expense is likely. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.

Fair Value Measurements

The carrying values of financial instruments comprising cash and cash equivalents, payables, and notes payable-related party approximate fair values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The notes payable- related party is considered a level 3 measurement. As defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). This fair value measurement framework applies to both initial and subsequent measurement.

Level 1:	Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.

Level 2:	Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies.

Level 3:	Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement for nonrecurring fair value measurements of long-lived assets include pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques.

F-10

There are no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Assets and liabilities accounted for at fair value on a non-recurring basis in accordance with the fair value hierarchy include the initial allocation of the asset acquisition purchase price, including asset retirement obligations, the fair value of oil and natural gas properties and the assessment of impairment.

The fair value measurements and allocation of assets acquired are measured on a nonrecurring basis on the acquisition date using an income valuation technique based on inputs that are not observable in the market and therefore represent Level 3 inputs. Significant inputs used to determine the fair value include estimates of: (i) reserves; (ii) future commodity prices; (iii) operating and development costs; and (iv) a market-based weighted average cost of capital rate. The underlying commodity prices embedded in the Company’s estimated cash flows are the product of a process that begins with NYMEX forward curve pricing, adjusted for estimated location and quality differentials, as well as other factors that the Company’s management believes will impact realizable prices. These inputs require significant judgments and estimates by the Company’s management at the time of the valuation.

The fair value of additions to the asset retirement obligation liabilities is measured using valuation techniques consistent with the income approach, which converts future cash flows to a single discounted amount. Significant inputs to the valuation include: (i) estimated plug and abandonment cost per well for all oil and natural gas wells and for all disposal wells; (ii) estimated remaining life per well; (iii) future inflation factors; and (iv) the Company’s average credit-adjusted risk-free rate. These assumptions represent Level 3 inputs.

If the carrying amount of its proved oil and natural gas properties, which are assessed for impairment under ASC 360 - Property, Plant and Equipment, exceeds the estimated undiscounted future cash flows, the Company will adjust the carrying amount of the oil and natural gas properties to fair value. The fair value of its oil and natural gas properties is determined using valuation techniques consistent with the income and market approach. The factors used to determine fair value are subject to management’s judgment and expertise and include, but are not limited to, recent sales prices of comparable properties, the present value of future cash flows, net of estimated operating and development costs using estimates of proved reserves, future commodity pricing, future production estimates, anticipated capital expenditures, and various discount rates commensurate with the risk and current market conditions associated with the expected cash flow projected. These assumptions represent Level 3 inputs.

Net Loss Per Share

Basic and diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic loss per share, except the weighted average number of common shares outstanding are increased to include additional shares from the assumed exercise of share options, warrants and convertible notes, if dilutive.

The following common share equivalents are excluded from the calculation of weighted average common shares outstanding, because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive:

	As of October 31,			As of October 31,
	2024			2023
Warrants		19,176	⁽¹⁾		19,812	⁽²⁾
Total potentially dilutive securities		19,176			19,812

⁽¹⁾	Balance consists of potentially dilutive shares based on 191,994 and 88,336 outstanding, equity classified warrants, respectively.
⁽²⁾	Balance consists of restricted stock units granted to five outside directors and restricted shares issued to executives.

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.

Reclassification of Expenses

Certain amounts in the prior periods presented have been reclassified to the current period financial statement presentation. This reclassification has no effect on previously reported net income.

Subsequent Events

The Company evaluated all events and transactions that occurred after October 31, 2024 through the date of the filing of this report. See Note 12 for such events and transactions.

NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT’S LIQUIDITY PLANS

As of October 31, 2024, the Company had $285,945 in its operating bank account and a working capital deficit of $2,025,480. 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, and convertible note financing under two tranches in October 2023 and December 2023, pursuant to which the Company 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 former 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, 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, as well as proceeds of approximately $1,174,000 in connection with an “at-the-market” agreement entered into in September 2024.

The accompanying 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 financial statements, which assumes the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of October 31, 2024, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $20,073,679 and has experienced losses from continuing operations. Based on the Company’s cash balance as of October 31, 2024 and projected cash needs for the twelve months following the issuance of these 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, or on terms acceptable to the Company. 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 financial statements.

Accordingly, the accompanying 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 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 100,000 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $60.00 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 5,000 shares of common stock to the underwriters at an exercise price of $66.00 per share (110% of public offering price), the cost of which was offset to additional paid-in capital upon IPO.

During the years ended October 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company incurred aggregated exploration costs of $177,416 and $251,743, 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 $1.2 million and $4.1 million, respectively, for the years ended October 31, 2024 and 2023; 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 the respective period ends.

Leases

South Salinas Project

As of October 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 will pay an additional $400,000 per the McCool Ranch Purchase Agreement; it has paid approximately $284,000 to date for restarting production operations on the assets and has recorded a liability of approximately $116,000 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 October 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.

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 October 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 October 31, 2024.

Per the most recent amendment to the ARLO Agreement signed in September 2024, the Company has until December 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 November 29, 2024), it will consider using $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 21,250 shares of its $0.0001 par common stock to four outside directors with a fair value of $12.80 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 50,000 restricted stock units to a newly appointed director under the Plan; as there were only 22,750 shares remaining for issuance under the Plan at that time, 22,500 RSUs were awarded immediately with a fair value of $6.00 per share for a grant date value of $134,550, with the remainder to be issued when the number of shares available under the Plan had been increased per shareholder approval. 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. As of October 31, 2024, remaining 27,500 units have been recorded at a fair value of $3.32 per share for a grant date value of $91,300 and for the years ended October 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized stock-based compensation for these awards in the amount of $30,651 and $0, respectively, within stock-based compensation expenses on the income statement, with $195,199 of unrecognized expense as of the period ended October 31, 2024.

Restricted Shares issued to Executives and Employees

In February 2022, the Company entered into employment agreements with Frank Ingriselli (former Chief Executive Officer) and Greg Overholtzer (Chief Financial Officer or “CFO”) which, among other things, provided for the grant of restricted shares in the amounts of 50,000 and 5,000, respectively, pursuant to the Plan. Per the terms of the employee agreements, subject to continued employment, the restricted shares vest over a two-year period, under which 25% will vest upon the earlier of three months after the IPO or six months after the grant date. 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 $5.88 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. As of October 31, 2022, the Company recorded 55,000 restricted shares at a fair value of $323,400, and for the years ended October 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized stock-based compensation of $155,498 and $161,700, respectively, within stock-based compensation expenses on the income statement, with no unrecognized expense as of October 31, 2024.

Pursuant to the Ross Employment Agreement, the Company awarded Mr. Ross 100,000 RSUs pursuant to the Plan; the RSUs were to be issued when the number of shares available under the Plan had been increased per shareholder approval and would vest at a rate of 25% at six months after the award was made to Mr. Ross, with the remainder vesting in equal tranches each three months thereafter. As of October 31, 2024, the units have been recorded at a fair value of $3.32 per share for a grant date value of $332,000 and for the years ended October 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized stock-based compensation for the award in the amount of $21,890 and $0, respectively, within stock-based compensation expenses on the income statement, with $310,110 of unrecognized expense as of the period ended October 31, 2024.

Note Payable - Related Party

On March 26, 2024, the Company borrowed $125,000 from its former Chief Executive Officer, Michael L. Peterson, in connection with which the Company delivered to Mr. Peterson an Unsecured Subordinated Promissory Note in the principal amount of $125,000. The Note is payable on or before September 26, 2024 (the “Peterson Note Maturity Date”), upon which date the principal balance and interest accruable at a rate of 10% per annum is due and payable to Mr. Peterson by the Company. The Company may prepay the Peterson Note at any time prior to the Peterson Note Maturity Date, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty. The Company is also required to prepay the Peterson Note, in full, prior to the Peterson Note Maturity Date from the proceeds of any equity or debt financing received by the Company of at least $1,000,000. As additional consideration for the Peterson Loan, the Company accelerated the vesting of 50,000 shares of restricted stock awarded to Mr. Peterson under the Company’s 2022 Equity Incentive Plan. The Peterson Note also provides for acceleration of payment of the outstanding principal balance and all accrued and unpaid interest in the case of an Event of Default (as such term is defined in the Peterson Note), where there is either a payment default or a bankruptcy event.

On September 26, 2024 and October 28, 2024, the Company entered into the first and second amendments, respectively, to the Peterson Note; each amendment extended the maturity dates to October 28, 2024 and November 30, 2024, respectively, and added a $5,000 extension fee (per amendment) to the principal of the note. As of October 31, 2024, the Peterson Note has a principal balance of $135,000.

NOTE 8 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

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 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.

On November 10, 2023, the Company entered into the ARLO Agreement with HSO for a term of nine months which allows 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.

Board of Directors Compensation

On July 11, 2022, the Company’s 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 the Company’s IPO in April 2023; for the years ended October 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company has recognized $223,170 and $156,154, respectively, in directors’ fees.

Agreements with Advisors

On July 28, 2022, the Company entered into a placement agent agreement with the Placement Agent with Spartan Capital Securities, LLC (“Spartan”), whereby Spartan agreed to serve as the exclusive agent, advisor or underwriter in any offering of securities of the Company for a one-year term. The agreement provided for a $25,000 non-refundable advance upon execution of the agreement and completion of a bridge offering to be credited against the accountable expenses incurred by the Placement Agent upon successful completion of the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”), a cash fee of 7.5%, warrants to purchase a number of common shares equal to 5% of the aggregate number of common shares placed in the IPO and reimbursement of other expenses.

On October 4, 2023 and December 29, 2023, the Company 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 4,167 and 2,750 common shares with exercise prices of $26.40 and $11.00 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.

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.

NOTE 9 - INCOME TAXES

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740-10, which provides for an asset and liability approach of accounting for income taxes. Under this approach, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on anticipated future tax consequences, using currently enacted tax laws, attributed to temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts calculated for income tax purposes.

Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets are summarized below.

SCHEDULE OF DEFERRED TAX ASSETS

	As of October 31,			As of October 31,
	2024			2023
Deferred tax assets:
Net operating loss carry forwards	$	1,699,000		$	1,095,000
Total deferred tax asset		1,699,000			1,095,000
Valuation allowance		(1,699,000	)		(1,095,000	)
Deferred tax asset, net	$	-		$	-

As of October 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had approximately $1,699,000 and $1,095,000, respectively, in net operating loss carry-forwards for federal and state income tax reporting (tax effected) purposes. As a result of the Tax Cuts Job Act 2017 (the “Act”), certain future carryforwards do not expire. The Company has not performed a formal analysis but believes its ability to use such net operating losses and tax credit carryforwards in the future is subject to annual limitations due to change of control provisions under Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code, which will significantly impact its ability to realize these deferred tax assets.

F-18

The Company recorded a valuation allowance in the full amount of its net deferred tax assets since realization of such tax benefits has been determined by the Company’s management to be less likely than not. The valuation allowance increased $604,000 and $298,000 during the years ended October 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

A reconciliation of the statutory federal income tax benefit to actual tax benefit is as follows:

	As of October 31,			As of October 31,
	2024			2023
Federal statutory blended income tax rates		(21	)%		(21	)%
State statutory income tax rate, net of federal benefit		-	%		-	%
Change in valuation allowance		21	%		21	%
Effective tax rate		-	%		-	%

As of the date of this filing, the Company has not filed its 2024 federal and state corporate income tax returns. The Company expects to file these documents as soon as practicable.

The Company has evaluated its income tax positions and has determined that it does not have any uncertain tax positions. The Company will recognize interest and penalties related to any uncertain tax positions through its income tax expense.

NOTE 10 - NOTES PAYABLE

Notes payable as of October 31, 2024 and 2023 consisted of the following:

SCHEDULE OF NOTES PAYABLE

Convertible note, net of discounts (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 43,336 shares of Common Stock at an initial exercise price of $24.00 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 $24.00, subject to certain adjustments (the “Conversion Price”), provided that the Conversion Price shall not be reduced below $7.00 (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 43,336 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 $11.00, an exercise price of $24.00, 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 18,393, 18,393 and 18,393, respectively, at fair values per share of $6.80, $6.20 and $5.80, 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 $24.00 to $10.00; 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 $6.20, an exercise price of $24.00, 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 $6.20, an exercise price of $10.00, 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 22,279 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 $6.40, an exercise price of $10.00, an expected term of 5 years, annualized volatility of 137.10%, a dividend rate of zero percent and a discount rate of 3.93%.

F-19

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 91,965, 42,917, 42,917 and 257,500, respectively, at fair values per share of $4.80, $2.60, $2.00 and $3.40, 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 119,796 and 17,576, respectively, were issued on February 1, 2024 and April 15, 2024, respectively, at fair values of $4.80 and $12.60, 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 $7.00 to $3.00, ii) the issuance of additional 119,796 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 $3.00.

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 94,417 and 94,417, respectively, at fair values per share of $3.40 and $3.60, 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.

As of April 2024, both tranches of the October 2023 SPA were fully repaid, and as of October 31, 2024 and 2023, the balance of the convertible notes, net of discounts, was $0 and $1,217,597, respectively, with non-cash interest expense related to discounts recognized in the amounts of $1,063,372 and $40,547, respectively.

March 2024 Debt Financing

The Company executed a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated March 27, 2024 (the “SPA”) with an institutional investor (the “March 2024 Investor”), which March 2024 Investor signed and funded on April 5, 2024, and pursuant to which the Company raised gross proceeds of $184,500 and received net proceeds of $164,500, after payment of offering expenses (the “March 2024 Debt Financing”). The SPA contains certain representations and warranties by the March 2024 Investor and the Company and customary closing conditions.

In connection with the March 2024 Debt Financing, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note to the March 2024 Investor, dated March 27, 2024, in the principal amount of $211,500, having an original issue discount of $27,000 or approximately 13% (the “March 2024 Investor Note”). Interest accrues on the March 2024 Investor Note at a rate of 12% per annum and the maturity date of the March 2024 Investor Note is January 30, 2025 (the “March 2024 Investor Note Maturity Date”). The March 2024 Investor Note provides for five payments of principal and accrued interest which are payable: (i) $118,440 on September 30, 2024; (ii) $29,610 on October 30, 2024; (iii) $29,610 on November 30, 2024; (iv) $29,610 on December 30, 2024; and (v) $29,610 on January 30, 2025. 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 $1.42340 (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.

The Peterson Note also provides for acceleration of payment of the outstanding principal balance and all accrued and unpaid interest in the case of an Event of Default (as such term is defined in the Peterson Note), where there is either a payment default or a bankruptcy event.

F-20

On September 26, 2024 and October 28, 2024, the Company entered into the first and second amendments, respectively, to the Peterson Note; each amendment extended the maturity dates to October 28, 2024 and November 30, 2024, respectively, and added a $5,000 extension fee (per amendment) to the principal of the note. As of October 31, 2024 and 2023, the Peterson Note had a principal balance of $135,000 and $0, respectively, and accrued interest on the loan in the amounts of $7,586 and $0, respectively.

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 75,000 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 37,500 common shares at fair values of $9.80 per share and $8.00 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.

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.

The April 2024 Investors Notes are convertible into shares common stock of the Company (the “Conversion Shares”) at a per share conversion price of $5.00, 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”).

On November 14, 2024, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect a Reverse Stock Split; once effective, every twenty (20) shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock will automatically be converted into one share of common stock, without any change in the par value per share. In addition, (i) a proportionate adjustment will be made to the per share exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of all outstanding stock options and warrants to purchase shares of common stock, to the extent that the exercise price of such warrants is not based solely on the market price of the common stock at the time of exercise, (ii) a proportionate adjustment will be made to any fixed conversion prices for other convertible securities of the Company, including any conversion floor prices and (iii) the number of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the Company’s equity incentive plans will also be reduced proportionately. Any fraction of a share of common stock that would be created as a result of the Reverse Stock Split will be rounded up to the nearest whole share.

The Reverse Stock Split became effective as of 4:30 p.m., Eastern Time, on November 14, 2024, and the Company’s common stock began trading on a split-adjusted basis when the market opened on November 15, 2024.
