PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING AUGUST 2026 REVERSE STOCK SPLIT
On August 28, 2026, the Company effected a one-for-nine reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”). Unless otherwise indicated, all share and per-share amounts in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes, have been retroactively adjusted to give effect to the Reverse Stock Split for all periods presented. The Reverse Stock Split did not change the number of authorized shares of common stock or preferred stock or the par value of $0.0001 per share for such securities. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split; stockholders who would otherwise have been entitled to a fractional share received a cash payment based upon cash-in-lieu rate of $1.8819 per share in lieu of that fractional share. Accordingly, the common stock line item in the October 31, 2025 comparative balance sheet has been retroactively adjusted from $906 to $101 to reflect the reverse stock split.

TRIO PETROLEUM CORP
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED JULY 31, 2026
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF THE ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
Company Overview
Trio Petroleum Corp (“Trio Petroleum,” the “Company,” or “TPET”) is a Delaware-incorporated oil and gas exploration and development company headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida. The Company focuses on acquiring, financing, and operating oil and gas projects in the United States and Canada. Its current portfolio includes the South Salinas Project in Monterey County, California, the PR Spring Project in Uintah County, Utah, heavy-oil assets in the Lloydminster region of Saskatchewan, Canada, and petroleum and natural gas interests in the County of Vermilion River, Alberta, Canada.
Nature of Operations
The
Company commenced revenue-generating operations in February 2024 at the McCool Ranch Oil Field in California. Operations at McCool
Ranch were discontinued in May 2025 when the Company elected to terminate the related leases, and all capitalized costs of $
Operational Focus
The Company continues to shift its operational emphasis toward jurisdictions with more favorable economic conditions, including Utah and Canada, while maintaining its interests in California. The South Salinas Project remains in evaluation status, and no proved reserves have been established as of July 31, 2026.
Canadian Operations and Recent Acquisitions
Trio Petroleum Canada Corp (“Trio Canada”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company formed in March 2025, holds the Company’s Canadian assets. During the first quarter of fiscal 2026, Trio Canada completed two additional acquisitions of oil and gas assets in Canada. On November 3, 2025, the Company acquired certain unproved petroleum and natural gas lease rights in Alberta for cash and common stock consideration. On December 30, 2025, the Company acquired additional oil and gas assets in the Lloydminster, Saskatchewan heavy oil region, with consideration paid in common stock. Both transactions are being accounted for as asset acquisitions under ASC 805-50, and the acquired assets have been recorded as unproved oil and gas properties.
Equity Offering
On
January 9, 2026, the Company entered into an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement (“ATM Agreement”) with Ladenburg Thalmann
& Co. Inc. (“Ladenburg”), permitting the sale of shares of its common stock from time to time. During the nine months

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required for complete annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2025. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Trio Petroleum Corp and its wholly owned subsidiary, Trio Canada, and all significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and related disclosures. Significant estimates include the evaluation of oil and natural gas properties, asset retirement obligations, the assessment of unproved properties, the valuation of equity-based transactions, and the determination of deferred tax assets and related valuation allowances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash
equivalents. As of July 31, 2026, cash and cash equivalents included $
Concentration of Credit Risk
As
of July 31, 2026, the Company maintained approximately $
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company’s reporting currency is the United States dollar. The functional currency of Trio Canada is the Canadian dollar. Assets and liabilities of the foreign subsidiary are translated at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, and income and expense items are translated at average exchange rates for the period. Resulting translation adjustments are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are recognized in earnings as incurred.
Oil and Gas Properties
The Company applies the successful efforts method of accounting for its oil and natural gas properties. Geological and geophysical costs, delay rentals, and exploratory costs are expensed as incurred. Costs of exploratory wells are capitalized pending the determination of whether proved reserves have been found; if proved reserves are not established, the related costs are expensed. Costs to acquire mineral interests, drill and equip exploratory wells that find proved reserves, and drill and equip development wells are capitalized. Unproved properties are assessed periodically for impairment based on remaining lease terms, drilling results, and future development plans. Proved properties are depleted using the unit-of-production method based on estimated proved reserves. The Company evaluates its long-lived assets, including proved oil and natural gas properties, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
Asset Retirement Obligations
The Company recognizes asset retirement obligations for the estimated future costs of plugging and abandoning oil and natural gas wells. The fair value of the obligation is recorded in the period in which the liability is incurred, with a corresponding increase to the carrying amount of the related asset. The liability is accreted to its present value each period, and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful life of the related asset. The obligation is adjusted for revisions in estimated timing or amount of expected cash flows.
| 8 |
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company’s revenues are derived from the sale of crude oil. Control transfers to the customer at the time of delivery, which is the point at which revenue is recognized. Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in the contract, which may include adjustments for market differentials and transportation-related charges. The Company’s oil is sold to a single customer (namely Cenovus Energy Inc.), and payment is typically received in the month following delivery.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and for net operating loss carryforwards. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company’s deferred tax assets continue to be fully reserved. The Company recognizes the effect of uncertain tax positions only when it is more likely than not that such positions will be sustained upon examination. Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions are recognized in income tax expense.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company measures certain assets and liabilities at fair value in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements. Fair value represents the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The fair value of equity consideration issued in connection with asset acquisitions is measured based on the market price of the Company’s common stock on the acquisition date, without adjustment for resale restrictions. The carrying amounts of cash, payables, and other short-term financial instruments approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. Certain estimates used in evaluating oil and natural gas properties and asset retirement obligations involve significant unobservable inputs and are therefore classified as Level 3 measurements.
The Company grants share-based payment awards to employees, directors and non-employees, including awards granted under its 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), and accounts for such awards in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. Equity-classified awards are measured at fair value on the grant date and compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period. The fair value of restricted stock and other full-value awards is generally based on the quoted market price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. The fair value of stock options and other option-like awards, if any, is estimated using an appropriate option-pricing model. Compensation cost for awards that are fully vested and nonforfeitable on the grant date is recognized on the grant date. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur.
Basic and diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share because the inclusion of potentially dilutive securities would be anti-dilutive.
Environmental Expenditures
Environmental expenditures are expensed or capitalized depending on their nature and future economic benefit. Expenditures that relate to ongoing environmental compliance are expensed as incurred, while expenditures that improve the future economic benefit of an asset are capitalized.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Management has evaluated recently issued accounting pronouncements and has determined that none are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Reclassifications
Certain prior-period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Except for the revision described below, these reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net loss or stockholders’ equity.
Revision of Previously Issued Interim Financial Statements
In connection with the preparation of these
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company identified that certain direct costs attributable to its
at-the-market offering had not been accounted for in accordance with SAB Topic 5.A and ASC 340-10-S99-1. During the three months

Management evaluated the errors under ASC 250, Accounting
Changes and Error Corrections, and SAB Topics 1.M and 1.N and concluded that they were not material, individually or in the
aggregate, to the previously issued unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarterly periods ended January 31
and April 30, 2026. Management further concluded that recognizing the $

2026, the revision reduced general and administrative expense and net loss by $

NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT’S LIQUIDITY PLANS
As
of July 31, 2026, the Company had cash of approximately $
During
the nine months ended July 31, 2026, the Company sold an aggregate of shares of common stock under its ATM Agreement with Ladenburg
for total gross proceeds of approximately $
Management evaluated whether the conditions that previously raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern have been alleviated. Based on the Company’s cash on hand at July 31, 2026, the capital raised during the period and its operating plans, the Company concluded that it has sufficient liquidity to fund its operating and capital requirements for at least twelve months from the date these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. Accordingly, substantial doubt does not exist as of the date these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going-concern basis and do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
NOTE 4 – REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS
Disaggregation of Revenue from Contracts with Customers
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Revenue is derived from the sale of crude oil, and control transfers to the customer at the time of delivery. Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in the contract, which may include adjustments for market differentials and transportation-related charges. The Company sells its crude oil to a single customer (Cenovus Energy Inc.), and payment is typically received in the month following delivery.
Revenue for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2026 was generated from oil sales produced from the Company’s Canadian properties. The following table presents revenue disaggregated by product type for the periods presented:
| Three Months Ended July 31, 2026 | Three Months Ended July 31, 2025 | Nine

Concentrations
The Company sells the crude oil produced from its Canadian operations to a single purchaser, which accounted for all the Company’s revenue for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2026. The Company believes the crude oil it produces is marketable to other purchasers in the region and accordingly does not expect the loss of this customer to have a severe near-term impact on its ability to sell its production, although a transition to an alternative purchaser could affect the timing of sales and realized pricing.
All the Company’s revenue is derived from oil produced in Canada. Changes in regional market conditions, commodity prices, regulatory requirements, or tariffs affecting Canadian crude oil could materially impact future revenues.
NOTE 5 – OIL AND NATURAL GAS PROPERTIES
The following tables summarize the Company’s oil and gas activities.

The Company applies the successful efforts method of accounting for its oil and natural gas properties. Costs of geological and geophysical activities, delay rentals (i.e., a yearly payment an oil and gas company makes to a landowner to keep a lease active without starting to drill), and exploratory activities are expensed as incurred. Costs of exploratory wells are capitalized pending the determination of whether proved reserves have been found; if proved reserves are not established, the related costs are expensed. Costs to acquire mineral interests and to drill and equip exploratory and development wells that find proved reserves are capitalized. Unproved properties are not amortized and are assessed periodically for impairment based on remaining lease terms, drilling results, and future development plans. Proved properties are depleted using the unit-of-production method based on estimated proved reserves. The Company evaluates its long-lived assets, including proved oil and natural gas properties, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

Borgers served as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and audited the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2023 and October 31, 2022. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) dismissed Borgers on May 6, 2024, as previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 7, 2024, following the Commission’s Rule 102(e) order entered against Borgers on May 3, 2024.
The settlement income is included in “Settlement income” within other income (expense), net in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2026. The Company does not anticipate any further recovery from this matter, and no related receivable or contingent gain has been recorded.
Settlement of Legal Fees
In connection with the March 2026 settlement of legal fees described in Note 9 – Stockholders’ Equity, the Company agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to file a resale registration statement on Form S-3 within 20 days of the issuance date covering the shares issued in the settlement, and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause and maintain its effectiveness. On April 3, 2026, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-294870) registering the resale of these shares of common stock, together with shares of common stock previously issued to Novacor in the December 2025 Novacor Acquisition (see Note 5 – Oil and Natural Gas Properties). The Registration Statement was declared effective on April 13, 2026. The Settlement Agreement does not provide for cash penalties or other transfers of consideration in the event of any failure to file or maintain effectiveness, and accordingly no liability has been recognized.
From time to time, the Company may be subject to claims and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Management currently believes that any potential liabilities arising from such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. As of July 31, 2026, the Company was not involved in any material pending legal proceedings.

We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about our business, the industry in which we operate and financial trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, and these forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance or development. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report and are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions described in the section titled “Risk Factors” in the Form 10-K and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

In addition, statements that “we believe” and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based upon information available to us as of the date of this Quarterly Report, and while we believe such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information.

Overview
We are an oil and gas exploration and development company headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida, with operations in Monterey County, California, Uintah County, Utah, the Lloydminster region of Saskatchewan, Canada, and the County of Vermilion River, Alberta, Canada. Our strategy continues to focus on acquiring and developing assets that provide near-term production, long-term development potential, and opportunities for value creation through targeted operational investment.
We began generating revenues in fiscal 2024 following the restart of production at the McCool Ranch Oil Field and expanded our revenue base in fiscal 2025 through the acquisition of producing heavy-oil assets in Saskatchewan. During the nine months ended July 31, 2026, our operational activity continued to center on our Canadian properties, which represent our most significant near-term growth opportunity. We are progressing workover and optimization programs on the assets acquired from Novacor in April 2025 and December 2025, as well as the assets acquired from Capital Land in November 2025.
In California, we continue to advance permitting efforts for the South Salinas Project, including conditional use permits and water-disposal permits. We are also evaluating potential joint-venture arrangements to support development activities and continue to assess the feasibility of a carbon capture and storage initiative leveraging existing deep wells and infrastructure. At the P.R. Spring project in Utah, we continue to monitor production performance at the Asphalt Ridge wells in connection with the non-binding Letter of Intent (“LOI”) with Heavy Sweet Oil LLC (“HSO”). In April 2026, we entered into a written extension with Heavy Sweet Oil LLC that extended the production-rate deadline under the LOI to May 15, 2028, or such later date as may be further extended by us.
In January 2026, we entered into an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement (the “ATM Agreement”) with Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc. (“Ladenburg”), under which we sold an aggregate of 3,860,043 shares of common stock during the nine months ended July 31, 2026 for total gross proceeds of $26,994,847. These proceeds provide significant financial flexibility to support our development plans, including ongoing work in Canada and continued advancement of permitting and strategic initiatives at South Salinas. See “Recent Developments - Ladenburg ATM Agreement” below.

Recent Developments
Ladenburg ATM Agreement
On January 9, 2026, we entered into an ATM Agreement with Ladenburg as agent, pursuant to which we may issue and sell shares of our common stock from time to time through Ladenburg. On the same date, we also filed a prospectus supplement with the SEC covering the sale of shares of common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $3,600,000 (the “Placement Shares”), in connection with the ATM Offering. The ATM Agreement provides that Ladenburg will be entitled to aggregate compensation for its services up to 3.0% of the gross proceeds from each sale of Placement Shares sold through Ladenburg under the ATM Agreement.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2026, we filed a series of amendments to the prospectus supplement to update the number of shares eligible for sale under General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3. These amendments, filed on March 3, 2026, March 4, 2026, March 5, 2026, March 10, 2026, March 30, 2026, April 6, 2026, April 7, 2026, April 8, 2026, and April 10, 2026, progressively increased the maximum aggregate offering amount available under the ATM program to $24,208,000 as of April 10, 2026. During the nine months ended July 31, 2026, we sold an aggregate of 3,860,043 shares of common stock under the ATM Agreement for total gross proceeds of $26,994,847, with the most recent sale on July 8, 2026.
As of April 14, 2026, the aggregate market value of our outstanding shares of common stock held by non-affiliates exceeded $75 million, calculated using the closing price of our common stock on March 3, 2026 (within the 60-day measurement period permitted under General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3). As a result, we are no longer subject to the sales limitations under General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3. On May 6, 2026, we filed Amendment No. 10 to the prospectus supplement to reflect the removal of the I.B.6 sales limitations. Following the filing of Amendment No. 10, the aggregate amount of shares available for sale under the ATM Agreement was $65,000,000, and the maximum aggregate offering amount was increased to $89,208,000 (inclusive of shares previously sold).
Management believes the expanded ATM capacity provides a significant opportunity to accelerate the expansion of the Company’s oil and gas assets in both Canada and the U.S., as we seek to acquire assets generating more significant cash flow with high-impact growth potential.
Capital Land Services Acquisition
On August 20, 2025, we, through our wholly owned subsidiary Trio Canada, entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (“APA”) with Capital Land Services Ltd. (“Capital Land”). Pursuant to the APA, Trio Canada agreed to acquire certain mineral leasehold interests and related rights located in the County of Vermilion River, Alberta, Canada, together with associated contracts, permits, and registrations (collectively, the “Assets”). The total purchase price consists of CAD $150,000 in cash and the issuance of restricted shares of our common stock having an aggregate value of CAD $150,000.
On November 3, 2025, the transactions contemplated under the APA were completed (the “Capital Land Acquisition”). At closing, Trio Canada paid Capital Land CAD $150,000 in cash and we issued 11,581 restricted shares of our common stock to Capital Land. In exchange, Trio Canada acquired the Assets, including certain wells that had been purchased out of receivership. Due to regulatory requirements of the Alberta Energy Regulator (“AER”), we arranged for all applicable licenses to be transferred to Novacor, an experienced operator with whom we have an existing commercial relationship. Novacor utilizes Capital Land as its AER agent. In consideration for Capital Land’s services as AER agent, we granted Capital Land a 1% gross overriding royalty with respect to the mineral rights, for as long as Capital Land continues to provide such services.
The Assets acquired from Capital Land included two wells that had been purchased out of receivership, in which we hold a 99% working interest and for which Novacor holds the licenses issued by the AER pending their transfer to us. The wells were non-producing at acquisition and commenced production in May 2026. In connection with the commencement of production, we recognized an asset retirement obligation of CAD $53,478 (US $38,120) during the third quarter of fiscal 2026. See Note 5 - Oil and Natural Gas Properties to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Asset Purchase Transaction with Novacor Exploration Ltd.
On December 30, 2025, we, through our wholly owned subsidiary Trio Canada, entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Novacor to acquire certain oil and gas assets located in the Lloydminster, Saskatchewan heavy oil region of Canada. The acquired assets include working interests in petroleum and natural gas leases, mineral rights, wells, surface rights, and related contracts, leases, and permits. Trio Canada also assumed certain specified liabilities of Novacor associated with the acquired assets.
The contractual purchase price was CAD $1,000,000 (US $730,300), payable through the issuance of 101,431 restricted shares of our common stock. The Novacor Acquisition closed simultaneously with the execution of the Asset Purchase Agreement on December 30, 2025. At closing, title to the acquired assets was transferred to Trio Canada, and we issued the 101,431 restricted shares of common stock to Novacor.
In accordance with ASC 820, we measured the equity consideration at its fair value of $748,649 based on the closing price of our common stock on the December 30, 2025 acquisition date. The difference between this GAAP fair value and the contractual CAD $1,000,000 (US $730,300) value reflects changes in our stock price between the agreement date and the closing date. See Note 5 – Oil and Natural Gas Properties to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Under the Asset Purchase Agreement, Novacor will act as the on-site operator of the acquired assets following the closing and will perform certain post-closing work and services. For a period of two years following closing, operating costs are to be maintained at the levels detailed in the auditor’s report covering the eighteen months prior to closing, unless the parties mutually agree otherwise. After that two-year period, operating costs are to remain competitive with other operators in the area. Trio Canada may terminate Novacor’s post-closing role at any time upon 30 days’ prior written notice.

Although the Novacor Acquisition closed on December 30, 2025, the Asset Purchase Agreement provides for an Accounting Adjustment Date, or effective date, of April 1, 2026, as of which the revenues and expenses attributable to the acquired assets are apportioned between the parties. Novacor remains entitled to the revenues, and responsible for the expenses, from the ownership and operation of the acquired assets for periods prior to April 1, 2026, and the Company becomes entitled to such revenues, and responsible for such expenses, only from and after that date. Consistent with this arrangement, Novacor continues to act as the on-site operator of the assets following closing, as described above. Accordingly, the Company’s results of operations for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2026 reflect revenue from these assets only to the extent that production on or after April 1, 2026 was sold during the period. Consistent with the Company’s revenue recognition policy under ASC 606, such revenue is recognized when control of the produced volumes transfers to the customer.
In connection with the closing, on December 30, 2025, we entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with Novacor (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) providing Novacor with “piggyback” registration rights with respect to the 101,431 shares of common stock issued to Novacor (the “Registrable Securities”), subject to customary limitations and restrictions, requiring us to file a resale registration statement covering the Registrable Securities on or before March 31, 2026 if the Registrable Securities were not included in a piggyback registration statement filed by that date. On April 3, 2026, we filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-294870) registering the resale of the Registrable Securities together with 49,572 shares previously issued to McDermott Will & Schulte LLP in the March 2026 settlement of legal fees described in Note 9 – Stockholders’ Equity to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The Registration Statement was declared effective on April 13, 2026. We have agreed to pay all fees relating to the registration of the Registrable Securities, other than broker or similar commissions payable by a holder.
Extension of Letter of Intent with Heavy Sweet Oil
In May 2025, we entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent (“LOI”) with Heavy Sweet Oil LLC (“HSO”) regarding the potential acquisition of certain oil and gas assets located on approximately 2,000 acres in the P.R. Spring area of the Uinta Basin in Utah. The LOI required that, before the parties would proceed to definitive agreements, there be evidence of a minimum sustained production rate of 40 barrels per day for a continuous 30-day period from each of the two wells we operate at the nearby Asphalt Ridge site. The LOI provided that if this production requirement was not met by May 15, 2026, the LOI would expire unless extended by us.
As of April 20, 2026, the required production rate had not been achieved and was not expected to be achieved by the original deadline. As such, we and HSO entered into a written extension that extended the production-rate deadline to May 15, 2028, or such later date as may be further extended by us. All other terms of the LOI remain unchanged.
2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders
On May 21, 2026, we held our annual meeting of stockholders. Our stockholders approved an amendment to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of our outstanding common stock, if deemed necessary by our Board (the “Board”), at a ratio of not less than one-for-two and not more than one-for-ten, with the exact ratio to be determined by the Board in its sole discretion. On August 12, 2026, the Board fixed the ratio at one-for-nine by unanimous written consent, and on August 28, 2026 we effected the Reverse Stock Split by filing a Certificate of Amendment to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. As a result, every nine shares of our issued and outstanding common stock were combined into one share, without any change to the par value of $0.0001 per share or to the number of authorized shares of common stock or preferred stock. No fractional shares were issued; stockholders who would otherwise have been entitled to a fractional share received a cash payment based upon cash-in-lieu rate of $1.8819 per share, in lieu of that fractional share. Accordingly, all share and per-share amounts presented in this Quarterly Report have been retroactively adjusted to give effect to the Reverse Stock Split for all periods presented. See the Special Note Regarding the August 2026 Reverse Stock Split and Note 10 - Subsequent Events to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
| 21 |
Our stockholders also approved an amendment to our 2022 Equity Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance by 388,889 shares, from 328,043 shares to 716,932 shares. In addition, our stockholders elected Robin Ross as a Class III director for a three-year term and ratified the appointment of Bush & Associates CPA LLC as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2026.
Executive and Director Compensation Arrangements
On June 2, 2026, the Compensation Committee of our Board approved certain compensation actions for our executive officers and non-employee directors, including changes to our Chief Executive Officer’s compensation, one-time restricted share grants under our 2022 Equity Incentive Plan, and an increase in non-employee director cash compensation. With respect to our Chief Executive Officer, the Compensation Committee approved (i) an increase in his annual base salary from $400,000 to $600,000, effective June 1, 2026; (ii) an increase in his maximum annual discretionary cash bonus from 100% to 200% of his annual base salary actually received in the applicable year; (iii) a one-time restricted share grant of 166,667 shares of our common stock, vesting upon issuance; and (iv) a cash bonus of $300,000, which was accrued as of July 31, 2026 and remained unpaid as of the date of this report. With respect to our Chief Financial Officer, the Compensation Committee approved a one-time restricted share grant of 22,222 shares of our common stock, vesting upon issuance; no changes were made to his base salary or bonus arrangements. Separately, effective July 1, 2026, the Company and its Chief Financial Officer amended his independent contractor agreement to increase his monthly fee from $15,000 to $17,000. No other changes were made to his compensation arrangements.
The Compensation Committee also approved one-time restricted share grants to our non-employee directors, vesting upon issuance, totaling 177,778 shares, and a 15% increase in annual cash compensation for non-employee directors, increasing the annual retainer from $50,000 to $57,500 and committee service compensation from $10,000 to $11,500 per committee, effective June 1, 2026. The restricted share grants described above, totaling 366,667 shares, were made under our 2022 Equity Incentive Plan and vest upon issuance. Because these awards vest upon issuance and are not subject to future service or performance conditions, we recognized stock-based compensation expense of $1,254,000 for these grants, measured at the grant-date fair value of $3.42 per share in accordance with ASC 718, during the three and nine months ended July 31, 2026. As of July 31, 2026, none of these shares had been issued.
Relocation of Principal Executive Offices
In June 2026, our Board approved the relocation of our principal executive offices from Malibu, California to One Park Place, 621 NW 53rd Street, Suite 125, Boca Raton, Florida 33487, and the relocation took effect in July 2026.
Going Concern Considerations
We continue to incur operating losses and have not yet generated sufficient revenues to support our operations. As of July 31, 2026, we had an accumulated deficit of $31,602,327 and working capital of $23,477,554. For the three and nine months ended July 31, 2026, we incurred net losses of $1,971,426 and $4,246,515, respectively, and used $2,550,968 of cash in operating activities. Our auditors, in their report accompanying our audited financial statements as of October 31, 2025, provided that our financial situation raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Pursuant to the sale of an aggregate of 3,860,043 shares of common stock under the ATM Agreement and as a result of our having raised gross proceeds of $26,994,847 during the nine months ended July 31, 2026, management no longer believes that there is a substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern following the issuance of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Since inception, we have funded our operations primarily through equity and debt financings, including proceeds from common stock issuances, our April 2023 initial public offering, multiple convertible note financings, promissory notes, and sales under ATM offering programs. During the nine months ended July 31, 2026, we sold an aggregate of 3,860,043 shares of common stock under the ATM program for total gross proceeds of $26,994,847. On May 6, 2026, we filed Amendment No. 10 to the prospectus supplement reflecting that, based on the Company’s public float having exceeded $75 million as of April 14, 2026, the Company is no longer subject to the sales limitations under General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3. Following Amendment No. 10, the aggregate amount of shares available for sale under the ATM Agreement was $65,000,000.
These capital raises significantly improved our liquidity position and are expected to be sufficient to fund our operating and capital requirements for at least twelve months from the date of issuance of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Management evaluated whether these capital raises, together with our operating plans, alleviate the conditions that initially raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Based on the additional capital raised during the nine months ended July 31, 2026, management concluded that its plans are probable of being effectively implemented and sufficient to address the Company’s liquidity needs for the twelve-month period following issuance. Accordingly, while substantial doubt previously existed, the raising of additional capital under the ATM Agreement and management’s plans have alleviated that substantial doubt as of the date of issuance of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements continue to be prepared on a going-concern basis and do not include any adjustments to the carrying amounts or classification of assets and liabilities that may result from future developments. Additional information regarding our going-concern assessment is provided in Note 3 – Going Concern and Management’s Liquidity Plans to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which are included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Factors and Trends Affecting Our Business and Results of Operations
Our results continue to be influenced by global economic conditions and volatility in commodity prices. Fluctuations in oil prices, geopolitical developments, and changes in regulatory environments can affect our cash flows and operating margins. We continue to focus on cost management and operational efficiency, particularly at our Canadian properties, where lift costs remain relatively low compared to our California assets.
Our near-term strategy remains centered on expanding production and development activities across our recently acquired Canadian assets, which we believe offer the most immediate potential for revenue growth. We are pursuing workover and optimization programs on the assets acquired from Novacor and Capital Land and evaluating additional opportunities to enhance production.
In connection with our December 2025 acquisition of additional oil and gas assets in the Lloydminster, Saskatchewan heavy oil region from Novacor, we are recognizing revenue from these assets in accordance with applicable accounting standards. The assets are already producing and, based on management’s current expectations, are anticipated to materially expand our production levels, providing near-term cash flow and further supporting our strategy of scaling through disciplined, accretive acquisitions.
In May 2026, the two wells in the County of Vermilion River, Alberta acquired in the November 2025 Capital Land Acquisition commenced production. As a result, our producing wells at July 31, 2026 were located in both Saskatchewan and Alberta. In connection with the commencement of production, we recognized an asset retirement obligation of CAD $53,478 (US $38,120) during the third quarter of fiscal 2026, and we will continue to evaluate the productive capacity of these wells as additional production history becomes available.
At the South Salinas Project, we continue to advance permitting efforts with Monterey County, CalGEM, and the California Water Boards. We are also evaluating potential joint-venture arrangements to support development activities and continue to assess the feasibility of a carbon capture and storage initiative leveraging existing deep wells and infrastructure. While the HV-3A well remains capable of production testing under existing permits, operations are currently idled as we evaluate potential steps to increase production rates and assess joint-venture opportunities.
At the P.R. Spring project, we continue to monitor production performance at the Asphalt Ridge wells. In April 2026, we entered into a written extension with HSO that extended the production-rate deadline under the existing non-binding LOI to May 15, 2028, or such later date as may be further extended by us. We will continue to evaluate whether future production results support proceeding to definitive agreements, although we remain under no obligation to do so.
We believe the significant additional capital (more than $20 million) raised through our at-the-market offering program during 2026 represents a transformational step for our company, enabling us to accelerate the pursuit of larger oil and gas acquisitions over the coming quarters. This expanded capital capacity enhances our ability to target projects in both Canada and the United States in the range of 350 to 1,000 barrels per day, significantly expanding our production profile and long-term growth potential.
We are actively reviewing a number of producing as well as exploration oil and gas asset acquisition opportunities and believe that the current market environment presents both opportunities and challenges for prospective buyers. With oil prices stronger and global demand for oil remaining robust, many producers and asset owners are increasingly confident that commodity prices could remain strong or increase in the future. As a result, sellers are frequently seeking higher valuations for their producing properties. At the same time, naturally declining production from existing oil and gas wells creates an ongoing requirement for producers to replace declining volumes and identify new sources of production.
In response to these market conditions, we have begun expanding our growth strategy beyond acquisitions to include the identification and development of new drilling opportunities. We also believe that developing the internal and external expertise necessary to identify attractive drilling opportunities can provide us with an important additional avenue for growth, particularly at a time when acquisition valuations for producing properties have become increasingly competitive. See “Recent Developments - Ladenburg ATM Agreement” above for further information on our 2026 capital raising activities that we believe we support our growth and development plans.
Our ability to execute our development plans and grow our business will depend in part on our ability to identify attractive oil and gas assets, use our capital stock as currency for such acquisition and continued access to capital markets and our ability to secure additional financing on acceptable terms.

Emerging Growth Company Status
We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies. These exemptions include reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation, the omission of auditor attestation requirements under Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and extended transition periods for adopting new or revised accounting standards. We have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies.

Revenues, net
Revenues, net for the three months ended July 31, 2026 were $348,581, compared to $192,395 for the three months ended July 31, 2025, an increase of $156,186, or 81.2%. Prior-year revenues were from the sale of approximately 4,000 barrels of oil produced from our assets in the Lloydminster, Saskatchewan region. Current-period revenues were from the sale of approximately 5,400 barrels of oil produced from our Canadian properties, which now include the two wells in the County of Vermilion River, Alberta that commenced production in May 2026.
Cost of goods sold
Cost of goods sold consists primarily of lease operating expenses, including well workover, servicing, repair and maintenance costs, and other field operating and production costs associated with our oil and gas properties. Cost of goods sold for the three months ended July 31, 2026 was $240,428, compared to $98,489 for the three months ended July 31, 2025, an increase of $141,939, or 144.1%. The increase reflects the expansion of our Canadian operations following the December 2025 Novacor Acquisition and continued well servicing and workover activity across the acquired wells, together with the addition of the two wells in the County of Vermilion River, Alberta that commenced production in May 2026. We reported gross profit of $108,153 for the three months ended July 31, 2026, compared to gross profit of $93,906 in the prior year period, an increase of $14,247, or 15.2%.
Exploration expenses
Under the successful efforts method of accounting for crude oil and natural gas properties, exploration expenses consist primarily of exploratory, geological and geophysical costs, delay rentals, and exploratory overhead, and are expensed as incurred. Exploration expense for the three months ended July 31, 2026 was $37,214, compared to a credit balance of $266 for the three months ended July 31, 2025, a change of $37,480. Current-period exploration expense consists of South Salinas Project costs allocated to us and billed by Trio LLC as operator, principally regulatory and permitting costs, including the Bradley underground injection control review under the California Environmental Quality Act and the 2026 idle well management plan, together with lease insurance and bonding, landman services, and lease rental and easement payments. The prior-year credit balance resulted primarily from the reversal of an accrued estimate recorded in the preceding quarter for exploration costs associated with the McCool Ranch property, which was terminated during fiscal 2025.
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended July 31, 2026 were $922,944, compared to $671,741 for the three months ended July 31, 2025, an increase of $251,203, or 37.4%. The increase was driven primarily by the June 2026 compensation actions, being the $300,000 cash bonus awarded to our Chief Executive Officer, which was accrued as of July 31, 2026 and remained unpaid as of the date of this report, and the increase in his annual base salary from $400,000 to $600,000 effective June 1, 2026. The remainder of the change reflects ordinary movements in accounting, legal, consulting and professional fees, partially offset by lower director compensation, which was $74,256 for the current quarter compared to $80,007 for the prior year quarter. General and administrative expenses for the quarter are also net of $59,500 of at-the-market offering costs reclassified from general and administrative expense to additional paid-in capital.
Stock-based compensation expense
We record stock-based compensation expense for costs associated with options and restricted shares granted under the Plan, as well as for shares issued as payment for services. Stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended July 31, 2026 was $1,254,000, compared to $96,762 for the three months ended July 31, 2025, an increase of $1,157,238. The increase is attributable in full to the one-time restricted share grants of 366,667 shares approved by the Compensation Committee under the 2022 Equity Incentive Plan on June 2, 2026. Because those awards vest upon issuance and are not subject to any future service or performance condition, we recognized the entire grant-date fair value of $1,254,000, measured at the $3.42 closing price of our common stock on June 2, 2026, during the quarter.
Accretion expense
Accretion expense for the three months ended July 31, 2026 was $4,694, compared to $695 for the three months ended July 31, 2025, an increase of $3,999, or 575.4%. The increase reflects the asset retirement obligation recognized in December 2025 in connection with the Novacor Acquisition of oil and gas assets in Saskatchewan, together with the additional asset retirement obligation of CAD $53,478 (US $38,120) recognized in the third quarter of fiscal 2026 on the two Alberta wells that commenced production in May 2026. Each obligation is accreted to its estimated settlement amount over the expected life of the related assets.
| 25 |
Other (income) expenses, net
Other (income) expenses, net was net income of $139,273 for the three months ended July 31, 2026, compared to net expense of $711,697 in the prior year period, a favorable change of $850,970. The components of this change were as follows.
Interest expense decreased by $145,433, or 98.6%, to $2,119. Our August 2025 convertible promissory notes were fully converted or extinguished by February 13, 2026, so no amortization of debt discounts was recognized during the current quarter. The remaining interest expense consists of finance charges on our directors and officers insurance premium finance agreement. There was no loss on abandonment of oil and gas properties during the current period, compared to $37,344 in the prior year. There was no loss on conversion of convertible notes during the current period, compared to $535,620 in the prior year, as all such notes were converted or extinguished during the first half of fiscal 2026. Dividend income of $182,883 was earned on our holdings in the Vanguard Treasury Money Market Fund, with no comparable amount in the prior year.
We recognized a loss on foreign currency transactions of $41,491 during the current period, compared to a gain of $8,819 in the prior year, a change of $50,310. The current-period loss arose on the remeasurement of the intercompany promissory note and the related intercompany balances between Trio Petroleum Corp and Trio Canada, which are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity that carries them.

Cost of goods sold for the nine months ended July 31, 2026 was $623,150, compared to $107,751 for the nine months ended July 31, 2025, an increase of $515,399, or 478.3%. The increase reflects the substantial expansion of our Canadian operations following the December 2025 Novacor Acquisition, together with the well workover and remediation activity concentrated in the second quarter of fiscal 2026. We reported gross profit of $55,881 for the nine months ended July 31, 2026, compared to gross profit of $118,734 in the prior year period, a decrease of $62,853, or 52.9%. The decline is attributable to the second quarter, in which we incurred significant workover and remediation costs on wells that produced minimal or no revenue during that period. We reported gross profit of $53,791 in the first quarter and a gross loss of $106,063 in the second quarter, and returned to gross profit of $108,153 in the third quarter as those workover programs were completed.
Exploration expenses
Under the successful efforts method of accounting for crude oil and natural gas properties, exploration expenses consist primarily of exploratory, geological and geophysical costs, delay rentals, and exploratory overhead, and are expensed as incurred. Exploration expense for the nine months ended July 31, 2026 was $85,330, compared to $35,616 for the nine months ended July 31, 2025, an increase of $49,714, or 139.6%. The increase reflects a higher level of allocated South Salinas Project costs billed by Trio LLC as operator, principally regulatory, permitting and lease maintenance costs incurred as we continued to advance conditional use and water disposal permitting with Monterey County, the California Geologic Energy Management Division and the California Water Boards. The prior-year period was also reduced by the reversal of accrued exploration costs associated with the McCool Ranch property.
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended July 31, 2026 were $2,795,174, compared to $2,138,768 for the nine months ended July 31, 2025, an increase of $656,406, or 30.7%. Of that increase, $405,203 arose in the first six months of the fiscal year and was driven principally by higher legal fees, consulting fees, bonus expense, franchise taxes and filing fees, partially offset by lower salaries and wages. The remaining $251,203 arose in the third quarter and reflects the June 2026 compensation actions, being the $300,000 cash bonus awarded to our Chief Executive Officer and the increase in his annual base salary from $400,000 to $600,000 effective June 1, 2026. General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended July 31, 2026 are net of at-the-market offering costs reclassified to additional paid-in capital, consisting of $104,896 in the first six months and $59,500 in the third quarter.
Stock-based compensation expense
Stock-based compensation expense for the nine months ended July 31, 2026 was $1,379,962, compared to $702,728 for the nine months ended July 31, 2025, an increase of $677,234, or 96.4%. The current period comprises $1,254,000 recognized on the June 2, 2026 restricted share grants described above and $125,962 of expense on restricted share awards granted in prior fiscal periods that completed vesting during the first six months of fiscal 2026. No unrecognized compensation cost remained under the Plan at July 31, 2026.
Accretion expense
Accretion expense for the nine months ended July 31, 2026 was $10,257, compared to $2,084 for the nine months ended July 31, 2025, an increase of $8,173, or 392.2%. Accretion on the South Salinas Project wellbores, which was the only asset retirement obligation outstanding in the prior year period, was substantially unchanged at approximately $2,084. The entire increase is attributable to the two Canadian obligations, being the December 2025 Novacor obligation and the Alberta obligation recognized in the third quarter of fiscal 2026. Each obligation is accreted to its estimated settlement amount over the expected life of the related assets.
Other (income) expenses, net
Other (income) expenses, net was net expense of $31,673 for the nine months ended July 31, 2026, compared to $1,805,538 in the prior year period, a favorable change of $1,773,865. The components of this change were as follows.
Interest expense decreased by $334,834, or 67.5%, to $161,238. Substantially all of the current-year interest was incurred in the first half of the fiscal year and consisted principally of $157,825 of non-cash amortization of debt discounts on our August 2025 convertible promissory notes, which were fully converted or extinguished by February 13, 2026. The remaining interest expense, including $2,119 in the third quarter, consists of finance charges on our directors and officers insurance premium finance agreement. There was no loss on abandonment of oil and gas properties during the current period, compared to $611,763 in the prior year.
We recognized a net gain on extinguishment of liabilities of $8,473 in the current period, compared to a loss of $90,200 in the prior year. The current-period amount reflects a gain of $13,473 on the March 2026 settlement of past-due legal fees with McDermott Will & Schulte LLP through the issuance of 49,572 restricted shares of common stock, net of a loss of approximately $5,000 recognized in connection with the conversion of the August 2025 convertible promissory notes.
Loss on conversion of the August 2025 convertible promissory notes was $84,517, compared to $616,322 in the prior year, a decrease of $531,805, or 86.3%. All such notes were converted or extinguished by February 13, 2026.
Settlement income of $43,532 represents our distribution from a class action settlement involving BF Borgers CPA PC, our former independent registered public accounting firm, with no comparable amount in the prior year. Dividend income of $203,568 was earned on our holdings in the Vanguard Treasury Money Market Fund, with no comparable amount in the prior year.
We recognized a loss on foreign currency transactions of $41,491 during the current period, compared to a gain of $8,819 in the prior year, a change of $50,310. The loss arose on the remeasurement of the intercompany promissory note and the related intercompany balances between Trio Petroleum Corp and Trio Canada, which are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity that carries them.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Working Capital
A comparison of our working capital is presented below:
| July 31, 2026 | October 31, 2025 | |||||||
| Current assets | $ | 24,678,238 | $ | 1,070,988 | ||||
| Current liabilities | 1,200,684 | 1,856,890 | ||||||
| Working capital | $ | 23,477,554 | $ | (785,902 | ) | |||
Our working capital position improved significantly as of July 31, 2026 compared to October 31, 2025. The improvement was primarily driven by the additional capital raised under our at-the-market offering program during the nine months ended July 31, 2026, which strengthened our cash position and reduced our reliance on short-term liabilities to fund operations. As a result, we moved from a working capital deficiency at October 31, 2025 to a positive working capital position at July 31, 2026. We expect that our enhanced liquidity, together with our current operating plans, will support our near-term development activities and ongoing operations.
Current assets increased by $23,607,250, driven by an increase in cash and cash equivalents of $23,410,622 reflecting the net proceeds of our at-the-market offering program, together with increases of $99,206 in prepaid expenses and $97,422 in accounts receivable. During the nine months ended July 31, 2026, we sold an aggregate of 3,860,043 shares of common stock under the ATM program for total gross proceeds of approximately $26,994,847, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $26,020,227. Current liabilities decreased by $656,206, driven primarily by the elimination of our convertible notes, which had a net carrying value of $467,179 at October 31, 2025 and were fully converted or extinguished by February 13, 2026, and by a decrease of $250,040 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, which is net of the $300,000 cash bonus accrued during the period. Those decreases were partially offset by increases of $32,849 in other current liabilities, $15,952 in amounts due to operators and $12,212 in the current portion of our asset retirement obligations.
Cash Flows
Our cash flows for the nine months ended July 31, 2026, in comparison to our cash flows for the nine months ended July 31, 2025, can be summarized as follows:
| Nine months ended July 31, | ||||||||
| 2026 | 2025 | |||||||
| Net cash used in operating activities | $ | (2,550,968 | ) | $ | (2,015,896 | ) | ||
| Net cash used in investing activities | (92,360 | ) | (966,555 | ) | ||||
| Net cash provided by financing activities | 26,020,227 | 3,250,351 | ||||||
| Effect of foreign currency exchange | 33,723 | 30,520 | ||||||
| Net change in cash | $ | 23,410,622 | $ | 298,420 | ||||
| 28 |
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $2,550,968 for the nine months ended July 31, 2026, compared to $2,015,896 for the nine months ended July 31, 2025, an increase of $699,468. Our net loss decreased by $319,485 period over period, but the prior year loss carried substantially higher non-cash charges, and non-cash adjustments declined by $816,370. That decline was driven by the $611,763 loss on abandonment of oil and gas properties recognized in the prior year with no comparable charge in the current period, a $531,805 decrease in the loss on the issuance of common shares in lieu of cash for debt payments, a $331,967 decrease in the amortization of debt discounts, and a $98,673 swing on extinguishment of liabilities, from a $90,200 loss in the prior year to an $8,473 gain in the current period, partially offset by a $677,234 increase in stock-based compensation. Current-period non-cash adjustments consisted of $1,379,962 of stock-based compensation, $157,825 of amortization of debt discounts, $86,910 of common shares issued for services, $84,517 of loss on the issuance of common shares in lieu of cash for debt payments, $13,521 of depreciation and $10,257 of accretion expense, partially offset by the $8,473 net gain on extinguishment of liabilities. Changes in operating assets and liabilities used $28,972 of cash in the current period, compared to providing $9,215 in the prior year period, as increases of $105,514 in accounts receivable and $99,773 in prepaid expenses and other receivables were partially offset by increases of $143,469 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and $32,846 in other liabilities.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $92,360 for the nine months ended July 31, 2026, compared to $966,555 for the nine months ended July 31, 2025. Current-period outflows consisted of the CAD $150,000 (US $108,312) cash portion of the Capital Land asset acquisition purchase price, translated at the average rate for the period, partially offset by a $15,952 increase in amounts due to operators. Investing outflows in the prior year period were driven primarily by $893,149 of capital expenditures for unproved oil and gas properties, principally the Lloydminster, Saskatchewan properties acquired in April 2025, together with $73,406 related to amounts due to operators.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $26,020,227 for the nine months ended July 31, 2026, compared to $3,250,351 for the nine months ended July 31, 2025. Financing inflows for the current period consisted of net proceeds from sales of common stock under our at-the-market offering program, under which we sold an aggregate of 3,860,043 shares for total gross proceeds of approximately $26,994,847. Financing inflows in the prior year period consisted primarily of $3,475,648 of proceeds from sales under our prior ATM facility and $606,000 of proceeds from the issuance of convertible debt, partially offset by $43,330 of debt issuance costs, $199,332 of related party debt repayments, and $588,635 of promissory note repayments.
Capital Resources
Since our inception, we have funded our operations primarily through equity and debt financings. We have historically experienced liquidity constraints due to our limited ability to raise capital on acceptable terms and have relied on the issuance of equity and convertible promissory notes and sales under our at-the-market offering programs to support our operations. During the nine months ended July 31, 2026, we sold an aggregate of 3,860,043 shares of common stock under the ATM program for total gross proceeds of approximately $26,994,847, with all such sales completed on or before July 8, 2026. On May 6, 2026, we filed Amendment No. 10 to the prospectus supplement reflecting that, based on the Company’s public float having exceeded $75 million as of April 14, 2026, the Company is no longer subject to the baby shelf sales limitations under General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3. Following Amendment No. 10, the aggregate amount of common stock available for sale under the ATM Agreement was $65,000,000.
These capital raises significantly strengthened our capital resources by improving our cash position and eliminating our working capital deficit. Based on the capital raised during the nine months ended July 31, 2026, together with management’s current operating plans, we believe that our existing cash resources are sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least twelve months following the issuance of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Future capital requirements will depend on a number of factors, including the timing and scope of planned operational activities, the development and operation of wells, and potential acquisitions of additional oil and gas properties. To the extent that existing capital and expected operating cash flows are not sufficient to fund future activities, we may seek additional financing through equity or debt offerings, including continued sales under the expanded ATM program. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available on favorable terms or at all. Failure to obtain additional financing, if needed, could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. See “Going Concern Considerations” above for additional information regarding our liquidity assessment.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
Unproved Property Leases
South Salinas Project
We hold various leases related to unproved properties in the South Salinas Project. Two leases with the same lessor remain active:
| ● | Lease 1 (8,417 acres): The lease remains valid through continued operations and production at the HV-3A well. | |
| ● | Lease 2 (160 acres): Held by delay rental. The annual rental payment of $30 per acre for the period October 2025 through October 2026 was paid in advance, and we remain in compliance. |
| 29 |
All additional South Salinas leases entered into during 2023 were abandoned during fiscal 2025 following an evaluation of economic and operational factors. No further obligations remain under the abandoned leases.
Property Leases Held by Production – Saskatchewan, Canada
In April 2025, we acquired oil and gas lease rights for four properties located in Saskatchewan, Canada. The leases total 320 net acres and are held by production. As of July 31, 2026, we remained in compliance with all lease terms. We made lease payments of $7,019 and $17,294 during the three and nine months ended July 31, 2026, respectively.
Property Interests – County of Vermilion River, Alberta, Canada
In November 2025, we acquired mineral leasehold interests and related rights in the County of Vermilion River, Alberta, together with two wells that had been purchased out of receivership, in which we hold a 99% working interest. Novacor holds the licenses issued by the Alberta Energy Regulator pending their transfer to us, and in consideration for Capital Land Services Ltd. acting as Novacor’s agent before that regulator we granted Capital Land a 1% gross overriding royalty on the mineral rights, which continues for as long as Capital Land provides those services. The two wells commenced production in May 2026. As of July 31, 2026, we remained in compliance with the terms of these interests.
Board of Directors Compensation
Under a compensation plan approved on July 11, 2022, non-employee directors are entitled to an annual cash retainer, plus an additional amount for each Board committee served, with payments made quarterly in arrears. During the current period, the Compensation Committee approved a 15% increase in non-employee director cash compensation, increasing the annual cash retainer from $50,000 to $57,500 and the committee fee from $10,000 to $11,500 per committee, effective June 1, 2026. For the three and nine months ended July 31, 2026, we recognized director compensation expense of $74,256 and $217,602, respectively, and for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2025, we recognized director compensation expense of $80,007 and $241,682, respectively.
Agreements with Advisors
Spartan Capital Securities, LLC
We previously entered into placement agent agreements with Spartan Capital Securities, LLC (“Spartan”) in connection with our IPO, subsequent private placements and our first ATM offering, which occurred in September 2024. Under these agreements, with respect to the IPO and subsequent private placements, Spartan received cash fees and warrants to purchase common stock, and cash fees only, with respect to the ATM offering. All warrants issued to Spartan remain outstanding as of July 31, 2026.
Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc.
On January 9, 2026, we entered into an ATM Agreement with Ladenburg as sales agent (the “Sales Agent”), pursuant to which we may offer and sell shares of our common stock from time to time through the Sales Agent. We concurrently filed a prospectus supplement covering the sale of shares having an initial aggregate offering price of up to $3,600,000, under our existing shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-281813), which became effective on September 10, 2024. Sales, if any, are made by any method deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act, including sales made directly on or through the NYSE American.
Under the ATM Agreement, we designate the maximum number of shares and a minimum price for any sale and have no obligation to sell any shares. We or the Sales Agent may suspend or, upon written notice, terminate the ATM Agreement at any time in its sole discretion, and the ATM Agreement will automatically terminate upon the sale of all shares covered by the agreement. The Sales Agent is entitled to compensation of up to 3.0% of the gross proceeds from any shares sold under the ATM Agreement, and we have agreed to provide customary indemnification and contribution to the Sales Agent, including for liabilities under the Securities Act.
During the nine months ended July 31, 2026, we sold an aggregate of 3,860,043 shares of common stock under the ATM Agreement for total gross proceeds of approximately $26,994,847, with all such sales completed on or before July 8, 2026, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $26,020,227 after Sales Agent commissions of 3.0% of gross proceeds and other offering costs. On May 6, 2026, we filed Amendment No. 10 to the prospectus supplement reflecting that, based on our public float having exceeded $75 million as of April 14, 2026, we are no longer subject to the sales limitations under General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3. Following Amendment No. 10, the aggregate amount of common stock available for sale under the ATM Agreement was $65,000,000.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and related disclosures. We base our estimates and assumptions on historical experience, current conditions, and other factors that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Our critical accounting policies and estimates are those that require significant judgment and are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations.
The critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2025 continue to be our critical accounting policies for the nine months ended July 31, 2026. There have been no material changes to these policies during the current interim period, except as noted below where updates relate to recent acquisitions or current-period activity. Additional information regarding these policies is included in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Oil and Gas Assets and Exploration Costs – Successful Efforts
We continue to apply the successful efforts method of accounting for crude oil and natural gas properties. Exploration costs, including geological and geophysical costs, delay rentals, and exploratory overhead, are expensed as incurred. Costs associated with exploratory wells that indicate the potential for proved reserves are capitalized pending further evaluation. Management reviews the status of all suspended exploratory well costs each quarter to determine whether sufficient progress is being made toward assessing the existence of proved reserves.
During the nine months ended July 31, 2026, we continued to evaluate the wells acquired in the April 2025 and December 2025 Novacor acquisitions and the November 2025 Capital Land Acquisition. These wells remain in early production and evaluation stages, and we expect to update reserve estimates once additional production history is available. No material changes were made to our capitalization or evaluation policies during the current period.
Proved and Unproved Oil and Natural Gas Properties
Unproved oil and natural gas properties continue to be assessed for impairment on a property-by-property basis based on remaining lease terms, drilling results, and future development plans. As of July 31, 2026, our unproved properties remain in exploration or early evaluation stages, and no material impairments were recorded during the period.
Proved properties are subject to depreciation, depletion, and amortization (“DD&A”) using the unit-of-production method based on proved reserves. As of July 31, 2026, we continue to evaluate the reserve potential of our recently acquired Canadian properties in Saskatchewan and Alberta. Reserve values will be incorporated into our DD&A calculations once sufficient production history and engineering data are available. There were no material changes to our DD&A methodology during the quarter.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
We review long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. This includes proved oil and gas properties, support equipment, and other long-lived assets. The impairment assessment compares the carrying value of the asset group to estimated future undiscounted cash flows. If the carrying value exceeds those cash flows, the asset is written down to fair value.
During the nine months ended July 31, 2026, we monitored commodity prices, production trends, and operating results for indicators of impairment. No triggering events were identified that required an impairment charge during the period. Our impairment methodology remains unchanged from that disclosed in our Form 10-K.
| 31 |
Asset Retirement Obligations
Our asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) represent the estimated future costs to plug and abandon wells and restore sites. ARO is initially recorded at fair value when incurred or acquired, with a corresponding increase to the carrying amount of the related asset. The liability is accreted each period, and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful life of the asset.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2026, we recorded an initial ARO liability of CAD $169,125 (US $124,201) in connection with the December 2025 acquisition of oil and gas assets from Novacor Exploration Ltd. The ARO was measured based on well-specific abandonment and reclamation cost estimates included in the independent Petrotech reserve and economics report, which was prepared in accordance with COGE Handbook standards and served as an input in the valuation basis for the acquired petroleum assets.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2026, in connection with the commencement of production at the two Alberta wells acquired in the November 2025 Capital Land Acquisition, we recognized an additional asset retirement obligation of CAD $53,478 (US $38,120), with an equal asset retirement cost capitalized into the carrying amount of the related properties. We did not recognize the obligation at the November 2025 acquisition date because the wells were non-producing unproved property and a reasonable estimate of the abandonment and reclamation cost was not then available. We measured the obligation using an undiscounted abandonment and reclamation cost estimate of CAD $138,708 obtained from the Alberta Energy Regulator liability assessment for the two wells, discounted at 10% over an estimated remaining productive life of ten years. The estimate requires significant judgment as to both the amount and the timing of the eventual settlement, and a change in either the discount rate or the estimated productive life would change the recorded obligation.
We are continuing to evaluate certain assumptions related to the timing and method of abandonment activities for the Canadian wells. Any refinements to these assumptions will be reflected in future periods as changes in estimate under ASC 410. No revisions to the estimates underlying our existing asset retirement obligations were recorded during the nine months ended July 31, 2026, and accretion expense is recognized on each obligation every period. See the discussion of accretion expense under “Results of Operations” above and Note 5 – Oil and Natural Gas Properties to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Fair Value Measurements
We apply the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 to measure certain assets and liabilities. Our financial instruments, including cash, payables, and short-term obligations, approximate fair value due to their short maturities.
During the nine months ended July 31, 2026, the fair value measurements we performed related principally to shares of our common stock issued or issuable as consideration in various transactions, including the November 2025 Capital Land and December 2025 Novacor asset acquisitions, the March 2026 settlement of past-due legal fees, the one-time restricted share grants approved on June 2, 2026, and the July 1, 2026 consultant share award. Because these measurements are based on quoted market prices for our common stock, they are classified as Level 1 fair value measurements.
We also measured the asset retirement obligation recognized in the third quarter of fiscal 2026 on the two Alberta wells at fair value on a non-recurring basis. That measurement uses significant unobservable inputs, including an undiscounted abandonment and reclamation cost estimate obtained from the Alberta Energy Regulator, a credit-adjusted risk-free rate, and an estimated remaining productive life, and is therefore classified as a Level 3 fair value measurement. We did not perform any Level 2 fair value measurements during the period, and no assets or liabilities were measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
There have been no new accounting pronouncements issued during the nine months ended July 31, 2026 that are expected to have a material impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
