The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company executing its business plan and, if unable to do so, in obtaining adequate capital on acceptable terms to fund any operating losses. Management’s plans to continue as a going concern include executing its business plan, continuing to focus our Company on the most profitable elements, and exploring alternative funding sources on an as needed basis. However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans. The COVID-19 pandemic, supply chain constraints, inflationary pressures, and the cost and commercial availability of helium have impacted the Company’s business operations to some extent and is expected to continue to do so and, these impacts may include reduced access to capital. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully generate or otherwise secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. There is substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for one year from the issuance of the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

The Company’s primary sources of liquidity have traditionally been comprised of cash and cash equivalents as well as availability under the Credit Agreement. We believe that we have been in compliance with covenants since refinancing with Line Financial in September 2021. That Credit Agreement expires per its terms on September 30, 2025, unless it is extended by the parties or replaced. While the Company expects to have access to needed capital at reasonable cost, there can be no assurance of success, and as such, might negatively impact the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
