Filing Type: Form 8-K (Current Report)
Date of Report: April 14, 2025
Subject: Non-reliance on previously issued financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, due to accounting errors.
Key Financial Metrics and Adjustments
The filing details a restatement of prior interim financial statements. The errors were non-cash in nature and did not impact operational metrics such as Oil and Natural Gas Sales, Total Revenue, or Operating Income (Loss).
- Adjustment to Other Income (Expenses): Increase of approximately $5.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.
- Adjustment to Net Income (Loss): Increase of approximately $5.2 million for the same periods.
- Adjustment to Liabilities: Decrease in the forward purchase agreement liability, total current liabilities, and total liabilities by approximately $5.2 million as of September 30, 2024.
- Source of Error: A clerical error in adjusting the fair value of the liability associated with OTC Equity Prepaid Forward Transactions with Meteora Capital Partners entities.
Material Changes Versus Prior Period
The filing does not report operational changes versus the prior period but highlights a material correction to previously reported financial data. The prior financial statements (Form 10-Q for September 30, 2024) understated Other Income (Expenses) and overstated the forward purchase agreement liability. These figures will be restated in the upcoming Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, and the Form 10-Q for September 30, 2025.
