The
future potential magnitude of another pandemic is currently still unknown. The continuation or amplification of this, another virus could
affect the United States and global economy, that might affect prices and our business and operations, and the demand more broadly for
oil and gas or could be further disruptions due to further political and direct and indirect conflicts with various countries causing
further flare ups on the conflicts with IsrealIsrael in the Middle East.
Given
that Company has had a low level of business operations, , we are highly dependent on our executive officers, employees, and contractors.
Although we believe that we will be able to identify, engage and motivate qualified personnel, an inability to do so could adversely
affect our ability to market, sell, and develop our products and services. Any difficulty in attracting and retaining key people could
have an adverse effect on our business.
The
Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws include provisions that fully eliminate the personal liability of the directors
of of
the Company for monetary damages to the fullest extent possible under the laws of the State of Nevada or other applicable law. These
provisions eliminate
the liability of directors to the Company and its stockholders for monetary damages arising out of any violation
of a director of his
fiduciary duty of due care. Under Nevada law, however, such provisions do not eliminate the personal liability of
a director for (i)
breach of the director’s duty of loyalty, (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional
misconduct or knowing
violation of law, (iii) payment of dividends or repurchases of stock other than from lawfully available funds,
or (iv) any transaction
from which the director derived an improper benefit. These provisions do not affect a director’s liabilities
under the federal
securities laws or the recovery of damages by third parties.
IMPACT
OF PANDEMIC, TARIFFS, UKRAINE, ISREAL,ISRAEL, AND MIDDLE EAST CONFLICTS ON OUR BUSINESS.
Our
business and operations had been adversely affected by the pandemic in 2020. In 2021, as result of initial reopening of business activities
in recovery from COVID-19, and the invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation in March 2022, and then in October 2023, the terrorist
attack on IsrealIsrael and then the February 2026 conflict with Iran by Israel and the USA and the subsequent blockade of the Straits of Hormuz
which flows thru over 20% of the worlds energy trade thus there has been a substantial volatility and uncertainty in oil and gas market
prices. Now with a new US administration it was expected to be
more favorable towards traditional energy sectorsector, but the recent tariffs
could trigger a political trade war leading to possible supply
disruption. However, we cannot predict the future and the exact impact
it will have on energy services and commodity prices due to other
similar outbreaks or a peaceful resolution to the wars/ other political
conflicts that could cause a rapid decline in overall energy
prices. Our financial condition and results of operations have been and
are likely to continue to be affected by future pandemics and
other political and war conflicts.
Like
most companies, we have become increasingly dependent upon digital technologies, including information systems, infrastructure and cloud
applications and services, to operate our businesses, to process and record financial and operating data, communicate with our business
partners, analyze mine and mining information, estimate quantities of coal reserves, as well as other activities related to our businesses.
Strategic targets, such as energy-related assets, may be at greater risk of future terrorist or cyber-attacks than other targets in the
United States. Deliberate attacks on, or security breaches in, our systems or infrastructure, or the systems or infrastructure of third
parties, or cloud-based applications could lead to corruption or loss of our proprietary data and potentially sensitive data, delays
in production or delivery, difficulty in completing and settling transactions, challenges in maintaining our books and records, environmental
damage, communication interruptions, other operational disruptions and third-party liability. Our limited amount of insurance may not
protect us against many typetypes of such occurrences. Consequently, it is possible that any of these occurrences, or a combination of them,
could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Further, as cyber incidents
continue to evolve, we may be required to expend additional resources to continue to modify or enhance our protective measures or to
investigate and remediate any vulnerability to cyber incidents.

and demand for our refined products, and the general business environment is expected to continue through 20252026 and beyond.

In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
