Current report
We recently transitioned our primary business focus from helium exploration to digital infrastructure and we may not be able to effectively execute our business strategy.
Current report
In July 2025, we rebranded as New Era Energy & Digital, Inc. and subsequently realigned our primary business focus on digital infrastructure and data center development. This strategic pivot represents a fundamental change in our business model. While we are experienced as an asset developer, we have less operating history as a data center developer and there are risks and uncertainties associated with implementing this new line of business. We may invest significant time and resources in our attempts to implement this new line of business, which may never generate returns or generate sufficient returns to yield a profit. Failure to successfully execute our business strategy, (including our 4-phase development model: Site Selection, Development, Execution, and Revenue) could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Current report
We are a development-stage company and our new business strategy has no operating history or historical revenue, and we face execution risk across all major components of our business.
Current report
We were recently formed and are currently in the early stages of developing our digital infrastructure and data center projects. We have not generated any revenue to date from this strategic pivot and do not expect to do so until the first subleases of our data centers and delivery of behind-the-meter energy commence, which we expect will not occur until at least the end of 2027. Given our early stage of development, it is difficult to predict what results we might ultimately achieve. The uncertainty of a rapidly changing marketplace and ongoing global supply challenges have created a volatile and challenging business climate, which may continue to negatively impact our customers and their spending and investment decisions. Our business model depends on, among other things, our ability to construct, permit, finance, and operate digital infrastructure and data centers. We may not be able to generate the level of revenue necessary to achieve and maintain sustainable profitability and a failure to maintain and grow our revenue volumes would adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.
Current report
We do not currently have sufficient working capital to fund our planned operations for the next twelve months. There is uncertainty regarding our ability to raise additional capital and as such, there is substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.
Current report
Our audited financial statements have been prepared under the assumption that we would continue as a going concern. However, we have concluded that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, because without additional sources of funding, our cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2025 is not sufficient for us to fund our working capital needs for the next twelve months after the date that the audited financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are issued. Management’s plans concerning these matters, including raising additional capital, are described in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation.” We continue to evaluate options to further finance our operating cash needs, however, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to obtain any or sufficient additional funding or that such funding, if available, will be obtainable on terms satisfactory to us. If we are unable to raise capital in the near term or on attractive terms, we could be forced to delay our data center projects, or even curtail or cease operations.
Current report
We have not yet constructed our facilities or entered into any binding contracts with any tenants, and there is no guarantee that we will be able to do so in the future. Our limited commercial operating history makes it difficult to evaluate our prospects, the risks and challenges we may encounter and our total potential addressable market. Any delays or setbacks we may experience could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, and could harm our reputation.
Current report
Our business plan to construct and operate data centers depends on, among other things, our ability to negotiate and enter into binding agreements with potential tenants to lease our facilities. If no potential near-term tenant enters into such binding agreement with us, the construction and operation of our data centers could be significantly delayed. Such delays would result in delays in revenue and could hinder our ability to gain market traction with other potential tenants.
Current report
As a result of our limited commercial operating history and ongoing changes in our new and evolving industry, including evolving demand for the types of products and services we offer and the potential development of technologies that may prove more efficient or effective for our intended use, our ability to forecast our future results of operations and plan for and model future growth is limited and subject to a number of uncertainties. Therefore, our internal estimates relating to the size of our total addressable market may not be correct. In addition, our expectations with respect to our total potential addressable market may differ from those of third parties, including investors or securities analysts.
Current report
There can be no assurance that we will not experience operational or process failures and other problems during the construction or operation of our data center projects. Any failures or setbacks, particularly in the initial phases of our data center projects, could harm our reputation, our ability to attract tenants, and adversely effect our business and financial condition.
Current report
We will require significant additional capital to construct and complete our TCDC’s primary site in Ector County, and we may not be able to secure such financing on time with acceptable terms, or at all, which could cause delays in our construction, lead to inadequate liquidity and increase overall costs.
Current report
The capital expenditures we expect to incur as we complete the development of our first project will be significant. Additional capital may not be available in the amounts required, or on favorable terms. In addition, if any adverse findings are discovered at any stage during the course of our development of the project that would render part of, or all of, the project site to be unsuitable or we discover flaws that may decrease the value of the project site as collateral for purposes of any financing, then we may not be able to obtain the financing necessary to construct the project on favorable terms, or at all.
Current report
Delays in construction beyond the estimated development period could increase the cost of completion beyond the amounts that we estimate and beyond the then-available proceeds from rent payments from our tenants we expect to receive, which could require us to obtain additional sources of financing to fund our operations until our project is fully completed (which could cause further delays). Moreover, many factors (including factors beyond our control) could result in a disparity between liquidity sources and cash needs, including factors such as construction delays and breaches of agreements.
Current report
Our ability to obtain financing that may be needed to provide additional funding will depend, in part, on factors beyond our control and there can be no assurances that funding will be available to us on commercial terms or at all. Accordingly, we may not be able to obtain financing on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all. Even if we are able to obtain financing, we may have to accept terms that are disadvantageous to us or that may have an adverse impact on our business plan and the viability of the relevant project. The failure to obtain any necessary additional funding could cause any or all of our projects to be delayed or not be completed. Any delays in construction could prevent us from commencing operations when we anticipate and could prevent us from realizing anticipated cash flows, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, contracts, financial condition, operating results, cash flow, financing requirements, liquidity, prospects and the price of our common stock.
Current report
Technological advances or disruptive innovations, specifically advancements in AI, may outpace our development cycle, and we are exposed to technology obsolescence across all major asset classes.
Current report
The AI and compute infrastructure industries are rapidly evolving. We have been and will continue to be dependent on innovations in technology offerings by our vendors, as well as the adoption of those innovations by tenants. Breakthroughs in chip design, immersion cooling, energy storage, or synthetic power generation could materially reduce the competitive edge of our offerings. Tenants may delay spending while they evaluate any new technologies or may choose providers with more current infrastructure. The rapid pace of innovation in semiconductor design, AI model architecture, power electronics, and battery storage means that capital investments in one generation of infrastructure may be made obsolete before full monetization is realized. If new technologies require materially different site layouts, interconnect systems, or energy delivery formats, portions of our developed capacity may become outdated or require costly retrofits.
Current report
Emerging AI technologies, such as demonstrated by Hangzhou DeepSeek Artificial Intelligence Basic Technology Research Co., Ltd., may allow for complex AI operations to be executed with significantly less computing power than is currently required. If AI developers are able to achieve the same or better performance outcomes with more energy-efficient, cost-effective, or less resource-intensive technologies, they may adjust their need for large-scale, high capacity power solutions. This shift could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition. We continuously monitor industry trends and invest in innovation to mitigate these risks. However, there is no assurance that we will be able to anticipate or respond effectively to such changes, which could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Current report
We will be dependent on third-party manufacturing and supply chain relationships to build and operate our facilities. Our reliance on third parties and suppliers involves certain risks that may result in increased costs, delays, and loss of revenue.
Current report
We do not have the resources to build our own facilities, and we extensively rely on third parties for materials for our business. As a result, we are subject to risks associated with these third parties, including:
Current report
Our industry has experienced the effects of manufacturing capacity constraints. Uncertainty regarding the effects and duration of global hostilities, including the Russia-Ukraine war and ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, and related international sanctions and restrictions have impacted supply chains for manufacturers. These supply challenges have impacted, and may continue to impact, our ability to fully satisfy the necessary supplies, resources and products required by our business and our data center projects.
Current report
In some cases, our requirements may represent a small portion of the total production or business of our third-party suppliers. We cannot provide any assurance that our external partners will devote the necessary resources to our business and when requested by us. Each of these events could increase our costs, lower our gross margin, delay the construction and delivery of our projects, and cause us to hold more inventories, or materially impact our ability to deliver our products on time.
Current report
We depend on third-party vendors, contractors, and consultants to support our business.
Current report
From licensing and permitting to design, procurement, construction, and operations, we depend on a complex ecosystem of third-party providers to execute our development roadmap. These parties include, among others, engineering firms, construction managers, legal advisors, fiber network providers, and control system integrators. If any such party experiences delays, disputes, or insolvency, or we lose our license or use rights to critical third-party technology, it could materially adversely impact the timing of delivery, cost, or quality of our infrastructure solution and our ability to attract tenants.
Current report
We intend to enter into a joint venture with a development partner to operate our flagship site. While we expect to have the ability to influence certain business decisions affecting the joint venture, the success of our investment in the joint venture will depend in large part on the development partner’s operation of the joint venture.
Current report
Our use of a joint venture structure to develop and operate our flagship site limits our control, reduces our distributions, and exposes us to additional partner, governance, financing, construction, and operational risks, any of which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.
Current report
We will not have sole control over key decisions regarding development, construction, financing, leasing, operations, major capital expenditures, and potential asset sales. Many of these matters will require the consent of our partner or approval under joint venture governance procedures, which may delay decision-making or prevent us from taking actions that we believe are in our best interests. If the joint venture agreement provides for shared governance or minority consent rights, we could be subject to deadlocks that require dispute resolution mechanisms, which may be costly, time-consuming, and disruptive.
Current report
Additionally, our development partner may have different business objectives, return expectations, investment horizons, tax considerations, or other considerations that differ from ours. If our partner experiences financial distress, becomes insolvent, fails to meet its obligations, or otherwise breaches the joint venture agreement, the project could be delayed, incur significantly higher costs, face contractor or lender disputes, or require us to provide additional capital or assume management responsibilities on short notice. Conflicts of interest may arise if our partner pursues other opportunities, competes for tenants or contractors, or allocates personnel and resources across multiple projects.
Current report
Additionally, we may not be required to consolidate the joint venture for accounting purposes, which could reduce the transparency of the project’s assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses in our financial statements. Our share of the joint venture’s results may be recognized under the equity method, which may introduce timing differences, reduce comparability, and increase earnings volatility. We could also be required to recognize impairments if the carrying value of our investment is not recoverable.
Current report
Additionally, we intend to rely on material additional equity investments from a development partner in order to support financing efforts. To the extent our partner is unable to make such investments in sufficient amounts or at all, our creditworthiness may decrease substantially, and we may be unable to obtain financing on acceptable terms or at all.
Current report
If any of the foregoing risks materialize, our investment in the joint venture could underperform, we could incur losses or impairment charges, and our business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows could be materially adversely affected.
Current report
Our business operations rely heavily on securing agreements with suppliers for essential materials, equipment, and components which will be used to construct our data center projects.
Current report
The execution, termination, expiration, or failure to renew agreements with our suppliers, whether due to unforeseen circumstances, including, but not limited to, supplier insolvency and regulatory changes, pose significant risks to our supply chain. In the event that such agreements are not successfully maintained or replaced, we may encounter difficulties sourcing required materials and components for our data center projects, leading to deployment delays, increased costs, or an inability to meet tenant demand. Any interruption or inability to maintain relationships with current and future suppliers, or failure to secure materials from alternative suppliers could adversely impact our business operations, financial performance, and reputation.
Current report
We will need to hire additional skilled employees as we grow and scale up our data center projects, and there is no assurance we will be successful in recruiting, hiring, and training the personnel we need.
Current report
There is no assurance that we will be successful in recruiting, hiring, training, and retaining the personnel we need. If we are unable to hire the personnel we need, our ability to achieve our aggressive growth and development milestones could be adversely affected.
Current report
We operate in a highly competitive industry, which could reduce our growth opportunities, revenue and operating results.
Current report
The data center market is highly competitive and rapidly evolving. Some of our competitors are larger and possess greater financial, marketing, distribution, personnel and other resources than we possess. In addition, our focus on digital infrastructure introduces unique risks due to the high concentration of demand among a small number of potential hyperscaler tenants. We cannot assure that we can successfully maintain a competitive position against these third parties, and if so, our financial performance will be negatively impacted.
Current report
AI and Large-scale Language Model, or LLM, infrastructure requirements are changing faster than conventional infrastructure can be developed.
Current report
The compute requirements for AI training and inference are scaling exponentially, with current models now requiring tens of megawatts per training cycle and high-throughput, ultra-low latency interconnects between GPUs, memory storage, and cooling systems. If our infrastructure design—particularly with respect to power delivery and cooling configurations—does not keep pace with the technical standards demanded by these workloads, our facilities may be underutilized or obsolete before full occupancy. Furthermore, the advantage of our data center projects may be eroded over time if competitors offer modular or prefabricated solutions with faster time-to-power and we may lose prospective tenants to faster-moving providers.
Current report
We may not be able to obtain sufficient water resources for our operations, which could materially impair our operations or impact our ability to expand our operations.
Current report
Our operations require significant quantities of water for cooling, steam generation and other processes. The availability of adequate water supplies is essential to the operations and expansion of our project site. Prolonged droughts, changes in precipitation patterns, increased competition for water resources or the implementation of a more stringent regulatory regime regarding water rights and water usage (or changes to such regulatory regime) could limit our ability to obtain sufficient water for our project. If we are unable to secure the necessary water resources, we could be forced to limit our operations. Additionally, increased cost of obtaining and treating water or compliance with other environmental regulations related to water could adversely affect our financial conditions and results of operations.

Previous report
We have a short operating history, which makes it difficult to evaluate our business and future prospects.
Previous report
We have been in existence only since February of 2023. We have encountered, and will continue to encounter, risks and difficulties frequently experienced by growing companies in rapidly changing industries, including those related to:
Previous report
If we do not manage these risks successfully, our business and financial performance will be adversely affected.
Previous report
We cannot assure the completed construction and commencement of operations of the Pecos Slope Plant, and even after such operations, we may not be able to generate adequate revenue to operate profitably and/or to continue as a going concern.
Previous report
To date, we have provided natural gas from our reserves to a third-party processor to extract helium which does not currently generate revenue for NEH under existing contractual arrangements. Construction of the Pecos Slope Plant is currently underway, but there is no guarantee that such construction will be completed or that we can successfully commence operations. Furthermore, we cannot assure that we can achieve expected production rates and cost reductions even after the successful completion and operation of the Pecos Slope Plant. In the future, our capital expenses and operational expenses may increase due to expected increased sales, operational costs, and general and administrative costs and, therefore, our operating losses may continue or even increase after operations of the Pecos Slope Plant. Furthermore, to the extent that we are successful in increasing our customer base, we will also incur increased expenses because costs associated with generating and supporting agreements with customers are generally incurred up front, while revenue is generally recognized ratably over the term of the relationship. We may not reach profitability in the near future or at any specific time in the future. If and when our operations do become profitable, we may not be able to sustain profitability.
Previous report
We cannot assure that we can raise enough capital to successfully develop our Pecos Slope Plant, which will adversely affect our ability to earn revenue and jeopardize our delivery of helium pursuant to existing contracts.
Previous report
To successfully develop our Pecos Slope field, we will require estimated additional capital of $45.0 million. The current cost of building, installing and commissioning of our Pecos Slope Plant will be approximately $20 million, of which we have already advanced $3.7 million to start construction. Furthermore, we will need to install new trunk lines and a new gathering system in addition to upgrading portions of the gathering system that currently exists in the field at an estimated cost of $10.0 million. Production enhancement from existing wellbore workovers in addition to drilling new wells will help maximize throughput volumes to the Pecos Slope Plant with the company budgeting between $13.0 - $15.0 million for these expenditures.
Previous report
There is no assurance that we will secure this capital, which could result in delays in realizing revenues from our helium production as well as eventually jeopardize our delivery of helium pursuant to our current helium off-take agreements.
Previous report
The manner in which we secure this additional capital is uncertain. It may be in the form of (i) debt, which could create liens against the current assets of the Company, (ii) equity, which could create additional dilution for current and future shareholders of the Company or (iii) a combination of debt and equity, which could have the combined effects described above.
Previous report
Scientific and technological changes may impact the demand for helium.
Previous report
Science and technology are continuously and rapidly evolving. Helium has broad applications, including in the MRI, semiconductor, welding, aerospace and fiber optics sectors, amongst others. However, scientific and technological changes may affect end user demand for helium. For instance, the MRI field has been the leader in helium usage for a number of years, as helium is used for cooling superconducting magnets in MRI machines. However, the latest generation of MRI magnets consumes helium at markedly lower levels. We cannot control the pace of scientific and technological developments and subsequently the changes in demand for helium brought about by these developments. Technological advancement may drive down demand for helium amongst end users in certain industries that may not adequately be replaced by demand in other industries. For instance, electronics is expected to replace MRI as the leading of helium application, but there is no guarantee that the electronics sector’s demand for helium will adequately compensate for the MRI industry’s decline in helium demand. Furthermore, although helium has unique chemical properties that make it irreplaceable in many applications, additional substitutes for helium may be discovered, or existing substitutes for helium may become more prominent as scientific research develops. As science and technology continue to evolve, helium demand may drop in certain fields, which may decrease demand for helium and negatively impact our financial performance.
Previous report
Global health crises or catastrophes and other unforeseen or unavoidable events or market conditions may dampen demand for helium and negatively impact our financial performance.
Previous report
Historically, the global helium market has had periods of supply and demand imbalances brought on by a variety of unanticipated and unpredictable events. For instance, sales and demand for helium dropped significantly following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, due to economic lockdown and supply chain disruptions. Similar global health crises may occur in the future which could drive down the demand for helium and may negatively affect our financial performance.
Previous report
We cannot control global events or market factors which affect the demand for and supply of helium, which in turn affect the market prices for helium. Therefore, our financial performance may be negatively impacted by events which we may not foresee or adequately prepare for.
Previous report
Helium demand in certain applications is somewhat elastic.
Previous report
Helium demand is somewhat elastic, meaning that helium demand for certain applications is sensitive to increases in price. This elasticity manifests itself as substitution of other gases for helium, increase investment in helium recycling or technological change that reduces helium consumption. Therefore, significant increases in helium prices could adversely impact our financial performance over the longer term by reducing demand.
Previous report
Increases in extraction and production costs or disruptions in our natural gas supplies could materially and adversely impact our business.
Previous report
We may experience increases in extraction and production costs or an interruption in the supply of natural gas from our reserves. Any such increase or supply interruption could materially and negatively impact our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results by affecting the volume of helium we provide to our clients and subsequently sales. Various market conditions such as inflationary pressures could increase the costs in extraction and production of helium from our natural gas reserves and could adversely affect our business and operating results. Such price increases will also increase our operating costs, and could reduce our margins if we cannot recoup the increased costs through increased prices for our helium supply.
Previous report
Our costs of operations may exceed estimates due to factors outside of our control, such as labor shortages or external price increases, and we may be unable to pass those costs to our customers, which would negatively impact our financial results.
Previous report
We depend on our employees and operations teams to assist in distributing helium to our clients. We rely on access to a competitive, local labor supply, including skilled and unskilled positions, to operate our business consistently and reliably. Any labor shortage and/or any disruption in our ability to hire workers may negatively impact our operations and financial condition. If we experience a sustained labor shortage, we may need to increase wages to attract workers, which would increase our costs of production. Furthermore, if our operating costs increased, including due to inflationary pressures, we may be unable to pass those increased costs on to our customers. If we are unable to do so, our gross margin will decline, and our financial results will be negatively impacted.
Previous report
A delayed commencement date or other events could result in an early termination of certain of our material contracts.
Previous report
We have entered into the Contract for Sale and Purchase of Liquid Helium (the “Liquid Helium Agreement”), with Air Life Gases USA, Inc. (“AirLife”) that has a term of 10 years from the date on which the first container of liquid helium is filled at the tolling facility for the helium buyer (the “Liquid Helium Commencement Date”). We have also entered into the Helium Tolling Agreement (the “Helium Tolling Agreement”) with Keyes Helium Company (“KHC”) dated September 1, 2023, pursuant to which we would receive tolling services with respect to our crude helium and such crude helium would be purified and liquified by KHC into liquid helium and filled into containers. The Helium Tolling Agreement has a term of 5 years from the date on which we commence deliveries of gaseous helium to the third-party tolling facility (the “Tolling Commencement Date”).
Previous report
If the Liquid Helium Commencement Date has not occurred by November 30, 2025, AirLife has the right to terminate the Liquid Helium Agreement. The Liquid Helium Agreement can also be terminated prior to the end of the term if helium deliveries are less than 6,000,000 standard cubic feet during any 12 consecutive month period, due to a force majeure event, a material breach of the agreement by either party, or financial insolvency. Similarly, because the Helium Tolling Commencement Date has not occurred by September 30, 2024 due to delays in securing financing for our purchase of the Pecos Slope Plant KHC has the right to terminate the Helium Tolling Agreement.
Previous report
We also agreed to sell fifty percent (50%) of the gaseous helium generated monthly at the Pecos Slope Plant to Matheson, pursuant to the Gaseous Helium Agreement. If the Commencement Date as defined in the Gaseous Helium Agreement does not occur by July 1, 2025, Matheson Agreement has the right to terminate the Gaseous Helium Agreement.
Previous report
The Commencement Date as defined in the Gaseous Helium Agreement depends on the completion and beginning of operations of our Pecos Slope Plant. Based on the current stage of the development and construction of its Pecos Slope Plant and the advice of the engineering consultants, NEH’s management believes that it is unlikely that we will be able to secure funding, complete construction of the helium extraction plant and commence helium deliveries prior to July 1, 2025, while management believes it is possible that it will occur prior to November 30, 2025. While it is possible that AirLife and KHC could terminate the abovementioned agreements in such situations, we believe that it is more likely that AirLife and KHC would try to renegotiate the agreement on terms that are less favorable for NEH. In the event of early termination, we would attempt to secure replacement agreements with price, terms and conditions reflecting then current market conditions. There is a possibility that we may not be able to secure replacement agreements or that that such replacement agreements will be on less favorable terms than the current agreements. If we are not able to develop an alternate production plan if our Pecos Slope Plant is not ready to operate by the required deadlines, or if we are not able to secure replacement agreements at attractive prices and conditions, our business and operating results could be adversely affected.
Previous report
In addition, the Liquid Helium Agreement and the Gaseous Helium Agreement have a mechanism of price reopener negotiations, with a scheduled price reopener negotiation at the end of the fifth year, and an unscheduled price reopener negotiation that may be requested by either party, on one occasion each, at any time after the end of the third year. Depending on market conditions, the price reopener negotiation mechanism may result in prices that less advantageous to us, in which case our business and operating results could be adversely affected.
Previous report
We have proved and probable reserves and areas that we decide to explore may not yield helium in commercial quantities or quality, or at all.
Previous report
We have proved and probable reserves of helium. We have identified prospects based on available seismic and geological information that indicates the potential presence of helium. However, the areas we decide to explore may not yield helium in commercial quantities or quality, or at all. Most of our current prospects are in various stages of evaluation that will require substantial additional seismic data reprocessing and interpretation. Even when properly used and interpreted, two-dimensional and three-dimensional seismic data and visualization techniques are only tools used to assist geoscientists in identifying subsurface structures and helium indicators and do not enable the interpreter to know whether helium is, in fact, present in those structures. We do not know if any of our prospects will contain helium in sufficient quantities or quality to recover exploration costs or to be economically viable. Even if helium is found on our prospects in commercial quantities, construction costs of infrastructure, including pipelines and transportation costs may prevent the prospects from being economically viable.
Previous report
We may terminate our extraction program for a prospect if data, information, studies and previous reports indicate that the possible development of our prospect is not commercially viable and, therefore, does not merit further investment. If a significant number of our prospects do not prove to be commercially viable, we will be materially adversely affected.
Previous report
We may need to raise capital in the future, which may not be available on favorable terms, if at all, and which may cause dilution to our stockholders, restrict our operations or adversely affect our ability to operate and continue our business. There is no guarantee that we will successfully raise capital.
Previous report
We may need to raise capital in the future. We are in the process of securing a project financing arrangement to fund construction of the Pecos Slope Plant. The successful construction and commencement of the Pecos Slope Plant and therefore financing for the Pecos Slope Plant will have a significant impact on our future financial performance. Furthermore, we estimate that our capital requirements during 2025 to be approximately $40 million to $45 million. However, if we need to raise additional capital in the future for any reason, we cannot be certain that we will be able to obtain additional financing on favorable terms, if at all, and any additional financings may result in additional dilution to holders of the common stock. For instance, debt financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions such as incurring additional debt, expending capital, or declaring dividends, or which impose financial covenants on us that limit our ability to achieve our business objectives. Additionally, if we enter into secured debt arrangements, we could be required to dispose of material assets or operations to meet our debt service and other obligations, which could negatively impact the business or cause the business to be discontinued. If we need additional capital and cannot raise it on acceptable terms, we may not be able to meet our business objectives, our stock price may fall and you may lose some or all of your investment.
Previous report
Our performance may be negatively impacted by general and regional economic volatility or an economic downturn.
Previous report
An overall decline in economic activity could adversely impact our business and financial results. For instance, the economic disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic significantly reduced the global demand for helium. Economic uncertainty may reduce end user spending on products which incorporate helium, and therefore reduce the demand for the helium we source and produce. Inadequate demand for our helium could result in decreased revenue and worsen our financial performance.
Previous report
We may implement new lines of business or further diversify our revenue sources within existing lines of business, but we cannot assure that such diversification efforts will be successful.
Previous report
As an early-stage company, we may implement new lines of business at any time. Aside from helium production, we currently plan on diversifying our resources through trading MPCs and pursuing energy transition opportunities. However, we cannot assure that such plans for diversification will ever materialize. Additionally, there are risks and uncertainties associated with implementing new lines of businesses to diversify our revenue sources. We may invest significant time and resources in our attempts to implement new lines of business or further diversify revenue sources, which may never generate returns or generate sufficient returns to yield a profit. As a result, our business, financial condition or results of operations may be adversely affected by such unsuccessful efforts.
Previous report
Our reputation is critical to our business and success in existing markets, and will be critical to our success as we continue to develop our business. Any incident that damages our credibility or reputation could damage our business. We may be adversely affected by any negative publicity, regardless of its accuracy. Also, there has been a marked increase in the use of social media platforms and similar devices, including blogs, social media websites and other forms of internet-based communications that provide individuals with access to a broad audience of interested persons. The availability of information on social media platforms is virtually immediate as is its impact. Information posted may be adverse to our interests or may be inaccurate, each of which may harm our performance, prospects or business. The harm may be immediate and may disseminate rapidly and broadly, without affording us an opportunity for redress or correction.
Previous report
We operate within highly competitive industries, and cannot guarantee that we can or will maintain a robust financial position, relative to our competitors, in order to become profitable.
Previous report
The helium exploration and production industry is highly competitive. We face competition with respect to the helium we source and produce, and will face competition with respect to participants who enter the same market in the future. Recent years have witnessed an unprecedented number of startup companies entering this market, and we believe there is an opportunity for acquisitions that would enable us to scale our business. We intend to participate in mergers and acquisitions activities after we develop a sufficient financial foundation, but there is no guarantee that we will be able to successfully enter into acquisition arrangements or successfully scale our business. A number of our competitors also have greater financial resources than we do. These third parties compete with us in securing clientele for their helium and gas.

Our business may be adversely affected by the departure of members of our management team, Board, and key employees.
Previous wording
Our success depends, in large part, on the continued contributions of Will Gray, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, our Board of Directors, and other key personnel. Although we have employment agreements in place for our executive officers, we cannot assure you that they will remain with us for a specified period. Although we have additional personnel that contribute to our business, the loss of Mr. Gray, our Board of Directors, and other key personnel could harm our ability to implement our business strategy and respond to the rapidly changing market conditions in which we operate. Furthermore, the Company does not have key person life insurance policies in place and must bear sole financial risk of their departures.

We cannot assure you that the projections in the Appraisal Reports will prove to be accurate. These projections were prepared for the narrow purpose of illustrating, under certain limited and simplified assumptions, our resources and costs. In addition, because of the subjective judgments and inherent uncertainties of projections and because the projections are based on a number of assumptions that are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies beyond our control, there can be no assurance that the projections or conclusions derived therefrom will be realized. The possibility of not finding reserves is an intrinsic risk of our business. Accordingly, you may lose some or all of your investment, particularly to the extent that these projections or conclusions are not ultimately realized.

United States rules and regulations affecting the oil and gas industry and helium production, transportation, and processing is under constant review for amendment or expansion. Such rules include environmental, health and safety laws such as the Clean Air Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, the Safe Drinking Water Act, the Clean Water Act, the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration rules, the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act, the Occupational Health and Safety Act, and the National Environmental Policy Act, amongst others (and their state counterparts). In addition, numerous departments, governmental entities, and agencies (federal, state, local, and tribunal) are authorized by statue to issue, and have issued, rules and regulations applicable to our industry. Such rules and regulations, among other things, require permits and may prevent certain activities or increase fees related to our industry. Compliance with applicable laws and any state or local statute is critical. Although we believe that we are in compliance with applicable statutes, there can be no assurance that, should the relevant regulatory authorities amend their guidelines or impose more stringent interpretations of current laws or regulations, we would be able to comply with these new guidelines. We are unable to predict the nature of such future laws, regulations, interpretations or applications, nor can we predict what effect additional governmental regulations or administrative orders, when and if promulgated, would have on our business in the future. These regulations could, however, require the reformation of our products to meet new standards, market withdrawal or discontinuation of certain products not able to be reformulated. Additionally, the adoption of new regulations or changes in the interpretations of existing regulations may result in significant compliance costs or diversion of resources from our revenue-generating activities, resulting in decreased profitability. Our failure to comply with these current and new regulations could lead to the imposition of significant penalties or claims, limit the production or marketing of any non-compliant products or advertising and could negatively impact our financial performance.

The Company is currently in negotiations with the BLM to determine the royalty rate at which the Company will compensate the BLM for helium produced on the BLM’s federal land. The U.S. government requires an established royalty rate prior to any helium production pursuant to the BLM’s arrangements with NEH. The BLM does not prohibit NEH from producing helium due to the U.S. Government’s stance on its involvement in helium as further defined in the Helium Stewardship Act of 2013, but does require an established royalty rate prior to any helium production. Based on discussions with the BLM and royalty rates applied to other helium producers, we estimate that the royalties that BLM will charge us will be approximately 12.5% of the gross proceeds for refined gaseous helium, or 10% for refined liquid helium gross proceeds from third-party sales, but we cannot assure you that the actual royalty rates charged from us will be those mentioned above.

Our business is subject to many rules and regulations regarding the storage, handling, and disposal of waste and the remediation of environmental pollution. These laws, and their implementing rules, require minimization of pollution, monitoring, reporting, recordkeeping requirements, and other operational constraints. New Mexico has been particularly active in the regulation of produced water. Over the past two years, New Mexico has issued new regulations regarding permit conditions, oversight, and enforcement related to injection wells used for disposal of produced water. New Mexico also has a produced water research consortium looking at issues related to this area. In addition, new potential rules are expected in New Mexico on reuse and recycling and a website has been set up to monitor activity with regards to this. Seismic activity induced by injection wells also are limiting the amount of material that can be disposed of in the well or limiting the ability to obtain new wells. New Mexico placed stricter rules on injection wells after seismic activity in New Mexico. Currently, our liquid wastewater from our oil and gas wells is disposed of in an injection well on a site that we once operated. We have the contractual right to continue the use of that disposal well, the LL&E B Federal #5 API 30-005-63751, until June 30, 2025. Once this expiration date occurs, the company will work with the existing owner of the LL&# B to contract for the disposal of certain volumes at commercial rates. Additionally, other 3rd party disposal facilities exist within the Pecos Slope providing the company options as to its water disposal needs. Ideally, the company will work with certain regulatory agencies regarding the possibility of converting existing gas wells that are classified as non-economic due to reservoir depletion and convert the well for the purpose of disposing of produced water is one possible solution to add disposal capacity but there is no assurance that either State or Federal Regulatory Agencies would approve such a conversion. The inability to dispose of our produced wastewater at the existing site or at other sites in the future could limit or curtail our ability to operate our oil and gas wells, which produce the helium for our new helium facility.

We will be operating properties, such as oil and gas wells, compression units and pipelines, that have the potential to release regulated materials into the environment. New Mexico passed rules clarifying the prohibitions on releases and remediation in 2021.

New Mexico passed rules clarifying the prohibitions on releases and remediation in 2021. Although we are not aware of any remediation for which we may be responsible at this time and we implement spill prevention plans, it is possible with future operation or with the acquisition of new lands, compressors, wells, and pipelines may have had releases subject to such requirements and subject to costly remediation. Regulations also require the pugging and abandonment of wells, removal of production facilities, and other restorative actions by current former operators, including corporate successors of former operations. We are actively involved in plugging a few of our wells. The cost of future abandonment and plugging will depend on well activity and authorizations and cannot be predicted at this time.

our helium products; increase demand for lower carbon products and alternative energy sources; make the Company’s products more expensive; adversely affect the economic feasibility of the Company’s resources; impact or limit our business plans; and adversely affect the Company’s sales volumes, revenues, margins and reputation. For example, some jurisdictions are in various stages of design, adoption, and implementation of policies and programs that cap emissions and/or require short-, medium-, and long-term GHG reductions by operators at the asset or facility level, which may not be technologically feasible, or which could require significant capital expenditure, increase costs of or limit production, result in impairment of assets and limit our ability to cost-effectively reduce GHG emissions across its global portfolio.
Current wording
Similar to any significant changes in the regulatory environment, climate change-related legislation, regulation, or other government actions may curtail profitability in oil & gas, helium and lower carbon businesses, as well as render the extraction of our helium resources economically infeasible. In particular, GHG emissions-related legislation, regulations, and other government actions, and shifting customer and consumer preferences and other private efforts aimed at reducing GHG emissions may result in increased and substantial capital, compliance, operating, and maintenance costs and could, among other things, reduce demand for hydrocarbons and our helium products; increase demand for lower carbon products and alternative energy sources; make the Company’s products more expensive; adversely affect the economic feasibility of the Company’s resources; impact or limit our business plans; and adversely affect the Company’s sales volumes, revenues, margins and reputation.

We have the ability to redeem outstanding Tradeable Warrants at any time after they become exercisable and prior to their expiration, at a price of $0.01 per Tradeable Warrant, provided that the last reported sales price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, rights issuances, subdivisions, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) on each of twenty (20) trading days within any thirty (30) trading day period commencing after the warrants become exercisable and ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which notice of redemption is given and provided that there is an effective registration statement covering the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Tradeable Warrants, and a current prospectus relating thereto, available throughout the 30-day redemption we have elected to require the exercise of the Tradeable Warrants on a cashless basis. If and when the Tradeable Warrants become redeemable, we may not exercise such redemption right if the issuance of shares of the Common Stock upon exercise of the Tradeable Warrants is not exempt from registration or qualification under applicable state blue sky laws or we are unable to effect such registration or qualification. Redemption of the outstanding Tradeable Warrants could force you to: (i) exercise your Tradeable Warrants and pay the exercise price therefor at a time when it may be disadvantageous for you to do so; (ii) sell your warrants at the then-current market price when you might otherwise wish to hold your Tradeable Warrants; or (iii) accept the nominal redemption price which, at the time the outstanding warrants are called for redemption, is likely to be substantially less than the market value of your Tradeable Warrants.
