RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS | NOTE 9 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
To continue operations and meet operating cash requirements, we have periodically relied on short-term loans from related parties, primarily shareholders, until such time as our cash flow from operations meets our cash requirements, or we are able to obtain adequate financing through sales of our equity securities and/or traditional debt financing. There is no formal written commitment for continued support by shareholders or others. Amounts loaned primarily relate to amounts paid to vendors. The loans are considered temporary in nature and have not been formalized by any written agreement. As of April 30, 2025, and July 31, 2024, related parties were owed $28,845 and $30,925, respectively, which are included in Accounts payable and accrued expenses, related party on the consolidated balance sheets (See Note 6 - Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses, Related Party). The amounts owed are payable on demand and carry no interest. The amounts and terms of the related party loans may not necessarily be indicative of the amounts and terms that would have been incurred had comparable transactions been entered into with independent third parties.
For compensation after August 1, 2023, we entered into a Non-Employee Chief Executive Officer Engagement Agreement (the “Contract CEO Agreement”) with Platinum Equity Advisors, LLC (“Platinum Equity”), a related party, to provide the services of our CEO and Chairman of the Board of Directors. Platinum Equity Advisors, LLC, is a related party, is our largest shareholder, and is owned 100% by the spouse of our CEO and Chairman of our Board of Directors. At April 30, 2025, and July 31, 2024, we owed Platinum Equity $19,000 and $151,386, respectively, for amounts related to the Contract CEO Agreement. The amount owed is included in Accounts payable and accrued expenses, related party on the interim consolidated balance sheets (See Note 3 - Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses).
On December 31, 2024, we issued a Promissory Note to Platinum Equity Advisors, LLC in the principal amount of $373,957 which included $51,283 of unamortized deferred financing costs (See Note 5 – Notes Payable, Related Party). All outstanding balances were paid off during the quarter. At July 31, 2024, the company had recorded accrued but unpaid interest on the note of $5,583 (See Note 3 – Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses). We paid $65,074 in interest to Platinum Equity Advisors, LLC during the nine months ending April 30, 2025. We paid no interest during the nine months ending April 30, 2024. The amount and terms of the related party loan may not necessarily be indicative of the amount and terms that would have been incurred had comparable transactions been entered into with independent third parties.
During the nine months ended April 30, 2025, the Company recognized $41,326 in office rent expense included in “Selling, general and administrative” on our interim consolidated statements of operations related to a month-to-month sublease agreement with Blue Earth Resources, Inc. (“BERI”), an entity related to the Company through common management control for use of certain office space.
