Current report

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.

Current report

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.

Current report

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.

Current report

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.

Current report

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.

Current report

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.

Current report

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.

Current report

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.

Current report

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.

Current report

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.

Current report

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.

Current report

Nine Months Ended July 31, 2026 compared to the Nine Months Ended July 31, 2025 (unaudited)

Current report

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.

Current report

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.

Current report

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.

Current report

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.

Current report

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.

Current report

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.

Current report

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.

Current report

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.

Current report

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.

Current report

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.

Current report

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.

Current report

Property Interests – County of Vermilion River, Alberta, Canada

Current report

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.

Current report

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.

Current report

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.
Removed paragraphs (27)

Previous report

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 expenses increased by $17,265, or 154.7%, compared to the same period in the prior year due to increased geological and geophysical (“G&G”) costs and delay rentals incurred during the three months ended April 30, 2026.

Previous report

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel expenses, including salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation expense for employees and consultants in executive, finance and accounting, legal, operations support, information technology and human resource functions. General and administrative expenses also include corporate facility costs including rent, utilities, depreciation, amortization and maintenance, as well as legal fees related to intellectual property and corporate matters and fees for accounting and consulting services.

Previous report

General and administrative expenses increased by $469,821 for the three months ended April 30, 2026, compared to the same period in the prior year. This change represents an increase of 62.2% and was primarily attributable to increases, during the three months ended April 30, 2026, in (i) consulting fees of approximately $80,000, (ii) salaries and bonus expense of $175,000 (iii) legal fees of approximately $175,000, and (iv) franchise taxes paid of $160,000, offset by decreases in director fees and accounting fees of approximately $40,000 and $90,000, respectively.

Previous report

We record stock-based compensation expenses for costs associated with options and restricted shares granted in connection with the Plan, as well as for shares issued as payment for services. Stock-based compensation expense decreased by approximately $74,562, or 64.5%, for the three months ended April 30, 2026, compared to the same period in the prior year, due to the amortization of approximately 42,000 more options in the three month period, during the prior year, than in the three months ended April 30, 2026.

Previous report

Accretion expense increased by $3,072, or 442.7%, for the three months ended April 30, 2026, compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase is primarily due to the ARO liability recognized in December 2025 in connection with the acquisition of the Novacor oil and gas assets in Saskatchewan. AROs are recorded at fair value when incurred and subsequently accreted over the expected life of the related asset. As a result, the newly recorded Novacor ARO contributed incremental accretion expense during the three months ended April 30, 2026.

Previous report

Interest expense decreased by $7,769, or 25.8%, to $22,385, primarily due to lower outstanding debt balances during the current period.

Previous report

Loss on abandonment of oil and gas properties decreased by $574,419, reflecting the absence in the current period of a charge recorded in the prior year in connection with the abandonment of certain oil and gas properties.

Previous report

We recognized a $13,014 loss on conversion of our August 2025 convertible promissory notes during the current period, with no comparable charge in the prior year.

Previous report

Six Months Ended April 30, 2026 compared to the Six Months Ended April 30, 2025 (unaudited)

Previous report

Revenues, net increased for the six months ended April 30, 2026 by approximately $296,360 as compared to the prior period. Revenues from the prior period were from the sale of (i) approximately 200 barrels of oil from our McCool Ranch location and (ii) approximately 550 barrels of oil produced from our recently acquired oil and gas assets in the Lloydminster, Saskatchewan region, and current revenues are from the sale of approximately 6,357 barrels of oil from the Lloydminster, Saskatchewan region.

Previous report

Cost of goods sold increased by $373,460, or 4,032.2%, for the six months ended April 30, 2026, compared to the same period in the prior year, reflecting the significant expansion of our operations in the Lloydminster, Saskatchewan region following our recent acquisitions. Consistent with the three-month period, the increase was driven not only by higher production volumes but also by substantial well workover and remediation costs, concentrated in the second quarter of fiscal 2026, incurred on wells that generated minimal or no revenue during the period. As a result, we reported a gross loss of $52,272 for the six months ended April 30, 2026, compared to gross profit of $24,828 in the prior year period.

Previous report

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 expenses increased as compared to the prior year period due to increased geological and geophysical (“G&G”) costs and delay rentals incurred during the period.

Previous report

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel expenses, including salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation expense for employees and consultants in executive, finance and accounting, legal, operations support, information technology and human resource functions. General and administrative expenses also include corporate facility costs including rent, utilities, depreciation, amortization and maintenance, as well as legal fees related to intellectual property and corporate matters and fees for accounting and consulting services.

Previous report

General and administrative expenses increased by $510,099 for the six months ended April 30, 2026. This increase is primarily due to increases, during the six months ended April 30, 2026, in (i) legal fees of $200,000, (ii) consulting fees of $75,000, (iii) bonus expense of $155,000, (iv) franchise taxes paid of $160,000 and (v) filing fees of $75,000, offset by a decrease in salaries and wage expense of approximately $110,000.

Previous report

We record stock-based compensation expenses for costs associated with options and restricted shares granted in connection with the Plan, as well as for shares issued as payment for services. Stock-based compensation expense decreased by approximately $480,004 for the six months ended April 30, 2026 due to the amortization of approximately 104,000 more options in the prior six month period than in the current period.

Previous report

Accretion expense increased by $4,174 for the six months ended April 30, 2026 compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase is primarily due to the ARO liability recognized in December 2025 in connection with the acquisition of the Novacor oil and gas assets in Saskatchewan. AROs are recorded at fair value when incurred and subsequently accreted over the expected life of the related asset. As a result, the newly recorded Novacor ARO contributed incremental accretion expense during the current quarter.

Previous report

Interest expense decreased by $189,401, or 54.3%, to $159,119, primarily due to lower outstanding debt balances during the current period.

Previous report

Loss on abandonment of oil and gas properties decreased by $574,419, reflecting the absence in the current period of a charge recorded in the prior year in connection with the abandonment of certain oil and gas properties.

Previous report

Loss on conversion of our August 2025 convertible promissory notes increased by $3,815, to $84,517 from $80,702.

Previous report

Current assets increased primarily due to a $21.2 million increase in cash, reflecting the proceeds from our ATM offering. Current liabilities decreased by $0.9 million, driven by a reduction of approximately $0.5 million in convertible notes and $0.5 million in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, partially offset by a $0.1 million increase in other current liabilities.

Previous report

Net cash used in operating activities was $2,154,161 for the six months ended April 30, 2026, compared to $1,660,469 for the six months ended April 30, 2025, an increase of $493,692. Although our net loss decreased by $799,292 period over period, the prior year net loss included substantially higher non-cash charges that did not recur at the same level in the current period. As a result, the prior year reflected larger non-cash add-backs, and net cash used in operating activities increased in the current period even though our net loss was lower.

Previous report

Working-capital changes also influenced operating cash flows. During the six months ended April 30, 2026, an increase of $72,235 in other liabilities provided cash. This favorable movement was partially offset by a $52,146 increase in accounts receivable, a $116,835 increase in prepaid expenses and other receivables and an $83,775 decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, all of which used cash. On a net basis, working capital changes used $180,521 of cash in the current period, comparable to $206,643 used in the prior year period. Overall, while our net loss decreased and working capital movements were modestly favorable period over period, the significantly lower level of non-cash adjustments more than offset these factors, resulting in higher cash used in operating activities for the six months ended April 30, 2026, compared to the same period in the prior year.

Previous report

Net cash used in investing activities was $56,704 for the six months ended April 30, 2026, compared to net cash used of $453,616 for the six months ended April 30, 2025. The change primarily reflects the timing of capital expenditures and operator settlements. During the six months ended April 30, 2026, we paid $55,242 for oil and gas property additions, which was nominally offset by a $1,462 decrease in amounts due to operators. During the six months ended April 30, 2025, investing cash outflows were driven by approximately $0.4 million for assets acquired at the Lloydminster, Saskatchewan properties.

Previous report

Net cash provided by financing activities was $23,480,763 for the six months ended April 30, 2026, compared to $3,250,350 for the six months ended April 30, 2025. The financing inflows for the six months ended April 30, 2026, reflect proceeds from sales of common stock under the ATM program. During the six months ended April 30, 2025, cash provided by financing activities was primarily attributable to (i) proceeds of approximately $3.5 million from the issuance of common shares in connection with the Company’s prior ATM facility and (ii) proceeds from the issuance of convertible debt of approximately $0.6 million, offset by repayments of related party debt and promissory notes of approximately $0.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively.

Previous report

During the first half of fiscal 2026, the only fair value measurement performed related to the valuation of publicly traded common stock issued as consideration in connection with the December 2025 Novacor acquisition. Because the fair value of this equity consideration is based on quoted market prices for our common stock, this measurement is classified as a Level 1 fair value measurement.

You should read the following discussion and analysis of financial condition and operating results together with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes and other financial information included elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, as well as our audited financial statements and related notes as disclosed in our Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on January 20, 2026 (“our Form 10-K”). This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. As a result of many factors, such as those in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as the risk factors set forth in the section titled “Risk Factors” included in our Form 10-K, our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.

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 six months ended April 30, 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.

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 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 and subsequent to the six months ended April 30, 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 condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Previous wording

The additional capital raised through our ATM program represents a transformational step for the Company, enabling us to accelerate the pursuit of larger, higher impact oil and gas acquisitions over the coming quarters. During the six months ended April 30, 2026, we sold an aggregate of 28,013,007 shares of common stock under the ATM program for total gross proceeds of $24,207,304, with additional proceeds of $2,557,841 raised subsequent to quarter-end. Subsequent to April 30, 2026, on May 6, 2026, we filed Amendment No. 10 to the prospectus supplement under our existing Registration Statement on Form S-3 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 of 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 is $65,000,000. 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.

Current wording

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.

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.

Previous wording

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 increased by $305,058, or 3,293.7%, for the three months ended April 30, 2026, compared to the same period in the prior year, reflecting the substantial expansion of our operations in the Lloydminster, Saskatchewan region following our recent acquisitions. The increase, however, was disproportionate to the increase in revenues. During the three months ended April 30, 2026, we incurred significant well workover and remediation costs on a number of wells that produced minimal or no revenue during the period. As a result, we reported a gross loss of $106,063 for the three months ended April 30, 2026, compared to gross profit of $14,009 in the prior year period. These workover activities are intended to restore or enhance production from the affected wells in future periods.

Current wording

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%.

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.

Revenues, net increased for the three months ended April 30, 2026 by approximately $184,986, or 794.9%, compared to the same period in the prior year. Revenues from the prior period were from the sale of approximately 550 barrels of oil produced from our recently acquired assets in the Lloydminster, Saskatchewan region, and current revenues reflect an increase solely from sales from the same Lloydminster, Saskatchewan region to approximately 3,337 barrels of oil.

Current wording

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.

Previous wording

Our working capital position improved significantly as of April 30, 2026 compared to October 31, 2025. The improvement was primarily driven by the additional capital raised under our ATM offering program during the six months ended April 30, 2026, which strengthened our cash position and reduced our reliance on short-term liabilities. As a result, we moved from a working capital deficiency at October 31, 2025 to a positive working capital position at April 30, 2026. We expect that our enhanced liquidity, together with our current operating plans, will support our near-term development activities and ongoing operations.

Non-cash adjustments partially offset the impact of our net loss and included $157,825 of amortization of debt discounts, $125,962 of stock-based compensation, $40,950 of common shares issued for services, $84,517 related to a loss on the issuance of common shares in lieu of cash for debt payments and $5,563 of accretion expense, partially offset by an $8,473 gain on extinguishment of liabilities. In total, non-cash adjustments declined by $1,319,107 from the prior year period, driven primarily by a $574,419 loss on abandonment of oil and gas properties recognized in the prior year with no comparable charge in the current period, a $480,004 decrease in stock-based compensation and a $186,950 decrease in amortization of debt discounts.

Current wording

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.

Previous wording

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 ATM offering programs to support our operations. During the six months ended April 30, 2026, we sold an aggregate of 28,013,007 shares of common stock under the ATM program for total gross proceeds of $24,207,304, with all such sales completed on or before April 13, 2026. Subsequent to April 30, 2026 and through the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements, we raised additional gross proceeds of $2,557,841 under the ATM program. 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 shares available for sale under the ATM Agreement is $65,000,000.

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.
