Dear James Westmoreland:
We have reviewed your May 26, 2023 response to our comment letter and have the
following comments. In some of our comments, we may ask you to provide us with information
so we may better understand your disclosure.
Please respond to these comments within ten business days by providing the requested
information or advise us as soon as possible when you will respond. If you do not believe our
comments apply to your facts and circumstances, please tell us why in your response.
After reviewing your response to these comments, we may have additional
comments. Unless we note otherwise, our references to prior comments are to comments in our
May 12, 2023 letter.
Form 10-Q for the Fiscal Quarter ended November 30, 2022
Note 5 - Acquisition, page 9
1.In your April 27, 2023 response to comment eight, you indicated that you would file
audited financial statements of Reabold California LLC, covering the years ended
December 31, 2020 and 2021, in an amendment to the Form 8-K that you filed on May
26, 2022 to report the acquisition, no later than May 26, 2023.
Although these financial statements were required to be filed by August 10, 2022, as of
the date of this letter you have not filed these financial statements.

Tell us the status of your efforts to prepare and file audited financial statements of
Reabold California LLC, covering the annual periods referenced above, unaudited interim
financial statements covering its quarter ended March 31, 2022, and the pro forma
financial statements required by Article 11 of Regulation S-X.
If you do not intend or are unable to comply with your filing obligations under Rule 13a-
11(a) of Regulation 13A, clarify your position in your response.
2.We note that you valued the 160,964,489 common shares issued to acquire Reabold
California, LLC at $6.6 million, or about $0.04 per share, although on the same date you
issued 128,125,000 common shares in exchange for cash at $0.02 per share; and that the
issuance of such shares for cash was part of the Capital Raise Requirement specified in
your agreement to acquire Reabold California, LLC from Gaelic Resources Ltd.
Tell us how you adhered to the fair value objective in measuring the transaction, including
the requirement to maximize use of relevant observable inputs in FASB ASC 820-10-35-
24, in determining whether the market was sufficiently active or whether the market price
would be subject to adjustment pursuant to FASB ASC 820-10-35-40 and 41C(b), and
considering the magnitude and value ascribed in the contemporaneous sale of shares.
If you are unable to support characterization of the transaction as a business acquisition,
also address the measurement guidance in FASB ASC 805-50-30-2, which requires use of
the more clearly evident and reliable measure of fair value, considering the fair value of
the shares issued and the fair value of the net assets acquired.
Please submit any revisions that you propose to more clearly align your valuation of the
transaction with the fair value measurement objectives in the applicable guidance and
provide us with details of the analyses that you perform to address these concerns.
3.We note that the value of shares issued in exchange for Reabold California, LLC would be
about $3.2 million using the contemporaneous cash price of $0.02 per share, and
that substantially all of the fair value of the assets acquired would appear to
be concentrated in a group of similar identifiable assets if there were no goodwill.
Tell us how you considered the criteria in FASB ASC 805-10-55-3A through 9 in
formulating your view of the transaction as a business acquisition rather than an asset
acquisition, and explain to us how you would reasonably describe the composition of
goodwill to comply with FASB ASC 805-30-50-1(a).
If substantially all revenues generated by the assets acquired are from oil and gas
producing activities, clarify the extent to which you considered the guidance in Rule 3-
05(e)(1) and (f)(2) of Regulation S-X, regarding the criteria for filing statements of
revenues and direct operating expenses in lieu of complete historical financial statements,
in relation to the deficiency noted in the first comment in this letter.
