The Company is based in Shreveport, Louisiana, with a wholly owned subsidiary, Barrister Energy LLC (“Barrister”), a Mississippi limited liability company, 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 exploration and production (“E&P”) companies operating in the area. Since inception, the Company has been engaged in organizational activities and had limited revenue-generating operations prior to the periods covered by this Quarterly Report. The Company has begun to acquire assignments of hydrocarbon revenues and underlying oil and gas exploration and production rights as covered by this quarterly report. The company runs all operations of its current acquisitions 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, working interests, real property interests and mineral rights and royalties and are generally not regarded as the acquisition of securities, but rather real property interests, allowing the Company to receive a portion of the production from the leased acreage (or of the proceeds of the sale thereof). As an owner of these interests, the Company also has an obligation for its share of lease operating costs. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2025, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2025, 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 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/A for the year ended December 31, 2024. 7 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 only recently begun producing positive 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 for a period of twelve months from the issuance of these financial statements. 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 developed a capital investment proposal plan and is currently pursuing funding opportunities; 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 with 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. 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 September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company had no cash equivalents. 8 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, 2024, the Company recorded impairments of $ 922,932 on oil and gas properties. There were no impairments recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024. 9 Fair Values of Financial Instruments The Company had no financial instruments for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, or for the year ended December 31, 2024. 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 September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024. 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. 10 The following table presents revenues disaggregated by product for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024: For the Three Months Ended September 30, For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 2024 2025 2024 Crude oil revenues $ 212,868 $ 250,619 $ 784,714 $ 749,851 Gas revenues — — — 827 Total revenues $ 212,868 $ 250,619 $ 784,714 $ 750,678 All revenues are from production from the Gulf States Drill Region. 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. At both September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, 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 September 30, 2025, or as of December 31, 2024. 11 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 September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had 0 potentially dilutive common shares outstanding. 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 September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company had no exposure in excess of insurance. 12 Concentration of Credit Risk – Accounts Receivable – All of the Company’s outstanding accounts receivable was with two parties, Taxodium Energy, LLC and Liberty Operating Company. Segment Information The Company operates in one reportable segment engaged in the acquisition, exploration, and production of oil and natural gas properties in the Gulf States Drilling Region. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is the President and Chief Executive Officer as he maintains responsibility for assessment of the Company’s performance and decision making regarding resource allocation. Consolidated gross profit (loss) is the performance measure used by the CODM to evaluate the segment’s performance and allocate capital and to monitor budget versus actual results. The information regularly provided to the CODM on the segment’s revenues and significant expenses aligns with the categories presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Furthermore, the segment’s assets are reported on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as total assets. 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 On May 31, 2024, the Company issued 1,320,755 shares of common stock, $ 0.01 par value per share, valued at $2.00 per share (the “Shares”), to Liberty Operating, LLC, a Mississippi limited liability company (“Liberty”), in consideration for the sale and assignment of various mineral and oil and gas interest in and to certain properties located in Mississippi to Barrister Energy, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company organized under the laws of Mississippi. At the request and the instructions of Liberty, the Company issued the Shares to all members of Liberty on the pro rata basis of their ownership interest in Liberty. The acquisition was effective as of May 1, 2024 and the Company recorded additions of $ 962,619 and $ 1,698,113 to proved and unproved reserves, respectively. The Company did not complete any acquisitions during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. At September 30, 2025, the Company had leased oil and gas properties assets valued at $ 10,022,815 . Scheduled leased oil and gas properties assets Balance, December 31, 2024 $ 10,298,406 Depletion expense (275,59 1) Balance, September 30, 2025 $ 10,022,815 We recorded depletion expense of $ 79,651 and $ 275,591 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and recorded depletion expense of $ 78,269 and $ 262,348 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. NOTE 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.
