OIL AND GAS CORPORATION
NOTES
TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE
1 – ORGANIZATION, NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Organization
CoJax
Oil & Gas Corporation, a Virginia corporation (“Company”), was incorporated on November 13, 2017. The Company
is based in Arlington Virginia, with a wholly owned subsidiary, Barrister Energy LLC (‘Barrister Energy’), registered
in Mississippi and based in Laurel, Mississippi.
Nature
of Operations
The
Company is a growing U.S. energy company, engaged in the acquisition and development of lower risk onshore oil and gas producing
properties within the Southeastern U.S. The Company’s focused growth strategy relies primarily on leveraging management’s
expertise to acquire both operated and non-operated interests in producing properties with the goal of assembling a large oil
and gas portfolio. Through this strategy of acquisition of operated and non-operated properties, the Company has the unique ability
to benefit from the technical and scientific expertise of world-class E&P companies operating in the area. The Company outsources
all operations through Barrister Energy LLC, the operational subsidiary.
The
Company focuses on the acquisition of and exploitation of upstream energy assets, specifically targeting select oil and gas mineral
interests. These acquisitions are structured primarily as acquisitions of leases, real property interests and mineral rights and
royalties and are generally not regarded as the acquisition of securities, but rather real property interests. As an owner, the
Company has the right to receive a portion of the production from the leased acreage (or of the proceeds of the sale thereof).
Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements
The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements prepared by CoJax Oil and Gas Corporation (the “Company”
or “CoJax”) have not been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm. In the opinion of the Company’s
management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results
of operations for the periods presented, which adjustments were of a normal recurring nature, except as disclosed herein. The
results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected
for the full year ending December 31, 2024, for various reasons, including as a result of the impact of fluctuations in prices
received for oil and natural gas, natural production declines, the uncertainty of exploration and development drilling results,
fluctuations in the fair value of derivative instruments, the impacts of COVID-19 and other factors.
These
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information, and, accordingly, do not
include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. Therefore, these financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
8
NOTE
2 – GOING CONCERN DISCLOSURE
The
Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared using U.S. GAAP applicable to a going concern that contemplates
the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. There can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to achieve its business plan, raise any additional capital, or secure the additional financing necessary
to implement its current operating plan. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary
if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
The
Company has yet to achieve profitable operations, expects to incur further losses in the development of its business, has negative
cash flows from operating activities, and is dependent upon future issuances of equity or other financings to fund ongoing operations,
all of which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability
to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate future profitable operations and/or to obtain the necessary
financing from stockholders or other sources to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations
when they come due. Management has no formal plan in place to address this concern but considers that the Company will be able
to obtain additional funds by equity financing and/or related party advances, however, there is no assurance of additional funding
being available or on acceptable terms, if at all.
NOTE
3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles
of consolidation
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant areas of estimate include
the impairment of assets and rates for amortization, accrued liabilities, future income tax obligations, and the inputs used in
calculating stock-based compensation. Actual results could differ from those estimates and would affect future results of operations
and cash flows.
Reclassifications
Certain
prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. Such reclassifications had no significant
impact on our reported net income (loss), current assets, total assets, current liabilities, total liabilities, shareholders’
equity or cash flows.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had no cash equivalents.
9
Oil
and Gas Producing Activities
The
Company uses the successful efforts method of accounting for oil and gas activities. Under this method, the costs of productive
exploratory wells, all development wells, related asset retirement obligation assets, and productive leases are capitalized and
amortized, principally by field, on a units-of-production basis over the life of the remaining proved reserves. Exploration costs,
including personnel costs, geological and geophysical expenses, and delay rentals for oil and gas leases are charged to expense
as incurred. Exploratory drilling costs are initially capitalized but charged to expense if and when the well is determined not
to have found reserves in commercial quantities.
Estimates
of oil and gas reserves, as determined by independent petroleum engineers, are continually subject to revision based on price,
production history and other factors. Depletion expense, which is computed based on the units of production method, could be significantly
impacted by changes in such estimates. Additionally, US GAAP requires that if the expected future undiscounted cash flows from
an asset are less than its carrying cost, that asset must be written down to its fair market value. As the fair market value of
an oil and gas property will usually be significantly less than the total undiscounted future net revenues expected from that
asset, slight changes in the estimates used to determine future net revenues from an asset could lead to the necessity of recording
a significant impairment of that asset.
Unproved
oil and gas properties will be assessed annually to determine whether they have been impaired by the drilling of dry holes on
or near the related acreage or other circumstances, which may indicate a decline in value. When impairment occurs, a loss will
be recognized. When leases for unproved properties expire, the costs thereof, net of any related allowance for impairment, will
be removed from the accounts and charged to expense.
The
Company will review its proved oil and natural gas properties for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that a
decline in the recoverability of its carrying value may have occurred. It estimates the undiscounted future net cash flows of
its oil and natural gas properties and compares such undiscounted future cash flows to the carrying amount of the oil and natural
gas properties to determine if the carrying amount is recoverable. If the carrying amount exceeds the estimated undiscounted future
cash flows, the Company will adjust the carrying amount of the oil and natural gas properties to fair value.
During
the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded impairments of $ 875,400 on oil and gas properties. There were no impairments
recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.
Long-Lived
Assets
The
Company accounts for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets according to the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s
(“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360 “Property, Plant and Equipment”. ASC
360 clarifies the accounting for the impairment of long-lived assets and for long-lived assets to be disposed of, including the
disposal of business segments and major lines of business. Long-lived assets are reviewed when facts and circumstances indicate
that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. When necessary, impaired assets are written down to estimated fair
value based on the best information available. Estimated fair value is generally based on either appraised value or measured by
discounting estimated future cash flows. Considerable management judgment is necessary to estimate discounted future cash flows.
Accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from such estimates. The Company did not recognize any impairment losses
on long-lived assets during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.
10
Fair
Values of Financial Instruments
The
Company had no financial instruments for the three months ended March 31, 2024, or for the year ended December 31, 2023.
ASC
820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for
an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability
in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy
that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources
(observable inputs) and (2) a reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on
the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels,
which give the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and
the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level
1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted
assets or liabilities;
Level
2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly
or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar
assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability
(e.g., interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation
or other means; and
Level
3 – Fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability
that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
Fair
value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as
of March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated
their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company accounts for revenue under ASC 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” Under ASC 606, oil and natural
gas sales revenues are recognized when control of the product is transferred to the customer, the performance obligations under
the terms of the contracts with customers are satisfied and collectability is reasonably assured. All the Company’s oil
and natural gas sales are made under contracts with customers. The performance obligations for the Company’s contracts with
customers are satisfied at a point in time through the delivery of oil and natural gas to its customers. Accordingly, the Company’s
contracts do not give rise to contract assets or liabilities. The Company typically receives payment within 90 days of the month
of delivery. The Company’s contracts for oil and natural gas sales are standard industry contracts that include variable
consideration based on the monthly index price and adjustments that may include counterparty-specific provisions related to volumes,
price differentials, discounts, and other adjustments and deductions.

The
following table presents revenues disaggregated by product for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023:

Accounts
Receivable
Accounts
receivable consists of oil and natural gas receivables. Ongoing evaluations of collectability are performance and an allowance
for expected credit losses is provided against the portion of accounts receivable that is estimated to be uncollectible. The Company
did not recognize any write-offs during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. At both March 31, 2024, and December 31,
2023, the allowance for expected credit losses was $ 0 .
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for Stock-Based Compensation
under ASC 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, which addresses the accounting for transactions in which
an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services, with a primary focus on transactions in which an entity obtains
employee services in share-based payment transactions. Generally accepted accounting principles require measurement of the cost
of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award.
Incremental compensation costs arising from subsequent modifications of awards after the grant date must be recognized.
The Company issues stock to consultants
for various services. The costs for these transactions are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair
value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of the common stock is measured at the
earlier of (i) the date at which a firm commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached
or (ii) the date at which the counterparty’s performance is complete. The Company recognized consulting expense and a corresponding
increase to additional paid-in-capital related to stock issued for services.
Income
Taxes
Income
taxes are accounted for under ASC 740 using the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the liability method, future
tax liabilities and assets are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the amounts
reported in the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Future tax assets
and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantially enacted income tax rates expected to apply when the asset is realized,
or the liability settled. The effect of a change in income tax rates on future income tax liabilities and assets is recognized
in income in the period that the change occurs. Future income tax assets are recognized to the extent that they are considered
more likely than not to be realized.
ASC
740 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. This standard
requires a company to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based
on the technical merits of the position. If the more-likely-than-not threshold is met, a company must measure the tax position
to determine the amount to recognize in the financial statements.
Because
of the implementation of this standard, the Company performed a review of its material tax positions in accordance with recognition
and measurement standards established by ASC 740 and concluded that it had no uncertain tax positions as of March 31, 2024, or
as of December 31, 2023.
12
Basic
and Diluted Earnings per Share
The
Company computes income per share in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share”, which requires the presentation
of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the statement of operations. Basic EPS is computed
by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted
EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential shares of common stock outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method
and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period
is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS
excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company
had 0 and 1,050,000 potentially dilutive common shares outstanding, respectively
Asset
Retirement Obligations
The
Company records the estimated fair value of obligations associated with the retirement of tangible, long-lived assets in the period
in which they are incurred. When a liability is initially recorded, the Company capitalizes the cost by increasing the carrying
amount of the related long-lived asset. Over time, the liability is accreted to its present value, and the capitalized cost is
depleted over the useful life of the related asset.
Revisions
to estimated asset retirement obligations will result in an adjustment to the related capitalized asset and corresponding liability.
Upon settlement of the liability, the Company either settles the obligation for its recorded amount or incurs a gain or loss.
The Company’s asset retirement obligation relates to the plugging, dismantling, removal, site reclamation, and similar activities
of its oil and gas properties.
Asset
retirement obligations are estimated at the present value of expected future net cash flows and are discounted using the Company’s
credit adjusted risk free rate. The Company uses unobservable inputs in the estimation of asset retirement obligations that include,
but are not limited to: costs of labor, costs of materials, profits on costs of labor and materials, the effect of inflation on
estimated costs, and discount rate. Due to the subjectivity of assumptions and the relative long lives of the Company’s
leases, the costs to ultimately retire the Company’s obligations may vary significantly from prior estimates. Assumptions
used in determining estimates are reviewed annually.
Concentration
of Credit Risk
Our
revenue can be materially affected by current economic conditions and the price of oil and natural gas. However, based on the
current demand for crude oil and natural gas and the fact that alternative purchasers are readily available, we believe that the
loss of our marketing agents and/or any of the purchasers identified by our marketing agents would not have a long term material
adverse effect on our financial position or results of international operations. The continued economic disruption resulting from
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, a potential global recession, and other varying macroeconomic conditions could materially
impact the Company’s business in future periods. Any potential disruption will depend on the duration and intensity of these
events, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time.
Concentration
of Credit Risk – Cash – The Company maintains cash and cash equivalent balances at a single financial institution
that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $ 250,000 . At March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023,
the Company had no exposure in excess of insurance.
13
Concentration
of Credit Risk – Accounts Receivable – All of the Company’s outstanding accounts receivable was with one
party, Taxodium Energy, LLC.
NOTE
4 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
New
and Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
The
Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact
on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting
pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
NOTE
5 – ROYALTY INTERESTS IN OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES
The
Company did not execute any acquisitions during the three months ended March 31, 2024. At March 31, 2024, the Company had leased
oil and gas properties assets valued at $ 4,022,906 .

6 – ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATION
The
Company records the obligation to plug and abandon oil and gas wells at the dates the properties are either acquired or the wells
are drilled. The asset retirement obligation is adjusted each quarter for any liabilities incurred or settled during the period,
accretion expense, and any revisions made to the costs or timing estimates. The asset retirement obligation is incurred using
an annual credit-adjusted risk-free discount rate at the applicable dates. Changes in the asset retirement obligation were as
follows:
