Note 1 – Organization and Nature of Business

Effective April 2, 2012, Ante5, Inc. changed its corporate name to Black Ridge Oil & Gas, Inc., and continues to be quoted on the OTCQB under the trading symbol “ANFC”. Black Ridge Oil & Gas, Inc. (formerly Ante5, Inc.) (the “Company” and “BROG”) became an independent company in April 2010. We became a publicly traded company when our shares began trading on July 1, 2010. From October 2010 through August 2019, we had been engaged in the business of acquiring oil and gas leases and participating in the drilling of wells in the Bakken and Three Forks trends in North Dakota and Montana and /or managing similar assets for third parties.

On September 26, 2017, the Company finalized an equity raise utilizing a rights offering and backstop agreement, raising net proceeds of $5,051,675 and issuing 431,819,9101,439,400 shares. The proceeds were used to sponsor a special purpose acquisition company, discussed below, with the remainder for general corporate purposes.

On October 10, 2017, the Company’s sponsored special purpose acquisition company, Black Ridge Acquisition Corp. (“BRAC”), completed an IPO raising $138,000,000 of gross proceeds (including proceeds from the exercise of an over-allotment option by the underwriters on October 18, 2017). In addition, the Company purchased 445,000 BRAC units at $10.00 per unit in a private placement transaction for a total contribution of $4,450,000 in order to fulfill its obligations in sponsoring BRAC,a blank check company formed for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities. BRAC’s efforts to identify a prospective target business were not limited to a particular industry or geographic region, but the initial focus of its search was for target businesses in the energy or energy-related industries with an emphasis on opportunities in the upstream oil and gas industry in North America.region. Following the IPO and over-allotment, BROG owned 22% of the outstanding common stock of BRAC and managed BRAC’s operations via a management services agreement.

On December 19, 2018, BRAC entered into a business combination agreement and the business combination closed on August 9, 2019, as discussed in Note 5.2019.

Following the close of the business combination the Company commenced a strategic review to identify, review and explore alternatives for the Company, including a merger, acquisition, or a business combination. The Company currently owns 2,685,500 shares of Allied Esports Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ: AESE), the surviving entity after BRAC’s business combination (“Sponsor Shares”). 537,100 of the Sponsor Shares are subject to distribution rights to officers and directors under the 2018 Management Incentive Plan dated March 6, 2018. The Company is evaluating plans for the remaining Sponsor Shares which could include a distribution of some or all of the Sponsor Share proceeds after expiration of the lock-up agreement on August 9, 2020.2020, presuming that as of such date AESE has repaid or converted amounts it owes pursuant to the bridge financing Note Purchase Agreement and Notes dated as of October 11, 2018 and May 17, 2019.

Principles of ConsolidationReclassifications

The accompanying consolidated financial statements includeIn the accounts ofprior year, the following entities:

⁽¹⁾Wholly-ownedincome, expense and cash flows from Black Ridge Acquisition Corp. (“BRAC”), a wholly-owned subsidiary throughformed on October 10, 2017, the date of BRAC’s IPO, after which it was consolidated as a variable interest entity through August 9, 2019, the date of BRAC’sthat BRAC completed a business combination. BRAC was renamedcombination with Allied Esports Entertainment, Inc. (‘(“AESE”) on the date of its business combination, were consolidated and all references to the surviving entity following the business combination are hereafter referred to as such.

The Company had determined that AESE, following its IPO, was a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and that the Company was the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The Company determined that, due to the redemption feature associated with the IPO shares, that the IPO shareholders were indirectly protected from the operating expenses of BRAC and it had the power to direct the activities of BRAC through the date BRAC afforded the stockholders the opportunity to vote to approve the proposed business combination. Therefore, BRAC’s operations are included in the BROG’s consolidated financial statements herein through August 9 2019. BRAC’s IPO shareholders are reflected in our Consolidated Financial Statements as a non-controlling interest through BRAC’s business combination on August 9, 2019. Under guidance in ASC 810-10-05-8 (“Consolidation of VIEs”) the Company’s management has determined that BRAC, following its merger, should no longer be consolidated for financial statement purposes as the Company no longer had the power to direct the activities of BRAC. Following BRAC’s business combination, the Company’s investment in AESE is accounted for using the cost method as AESE no longer was considered a VIE and the Company now owned 12.4% of the outstanding common stock of AESE. All significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated in the preparation of these financial statements.

The parent company, BROG, and BRAC, for the period it was consolidated, are collectively referred to herein as the “Company” or “Black Ridge”. The Company’s headquarters is in Minneapolis, Minnesota and substantially all of its operations are in the United States.

Reclassifications

In the current year, the income, expense and cash flows from BRAC during the period they were consolidated have beenretrospectively classified as discontinued operations. For comparative purposes amounts in the prior periods have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. Additionally, the assets and liabilities from BRAC are shown on the balance sheet as assets and liabilities for discontinued operations.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Environmental Liabilities

The Company was formerly a direct owner of assets in the oil and gas industry. The oilOil and gas industry iscompanies are subject, by itstheir nature, to environmental hazardshazard and clean-up costs. At this time, management knows of no substantial losses from environmental accidents or events which would have a material effect on the Company.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents include money market accounts which have maturities of three months or less. For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are stated at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates market value. Cash equivalents on hand at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were $-0- and $2,312, respectively.

Restricted Cash and Securities held in Trust Account

The Company had $2,312 of cash equivalents and $141,304,995 of marketable securities on December 31, 2018 held in the Trust Account which was restricted for the benefit of the AESE’s IPO shareholders to be available for those shareholders in the event they elected to redeem their shares following an approved business combination.

Cash in Excess of FDIC Limits

The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. Accounts are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) up to $250,000 and $500,000, respectively, under current regulations. The Company had approximately $-0- and $1,119,770didn’t have any cash in excess of FDIC and SIPC insured limits at September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018, respectively.2019. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

Income Taxes

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to be recovered. The Company provides a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for which it does not consider realization of such assets to be more likely than not.

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share

The basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss (the numerator) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period (the denominator). Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares and potentialoutstanding. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss adjusted on an “as if converted” basis, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (if dilutive) during each period. Potential common shares include stock options, warrantsplus potential dilutive securities. For the periods presented, potential dilutive securities had an anti-dilutive effect and restricted stock. The number of potential common shares outstanding relating to stock options, warrants and restricted stock is computed using the treasury stock method.

The reconciliation of the denominators used to calculate basic EPS and diluted EPS for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 are as follows:

Stock options and warrants excluded fromwere not included in the calculation of diluted EPS because their effect was anti-dilutive were 10,646,500 and 10,835,300 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and 10,646,500 and 10,835,300 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.net loss per common share.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Under FASB ASC 820-10-05, the Financial Accounting Standards Board establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement reaffirms that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements as reflected herein. The carrying amounts of cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses reported on the balance sheets are estimated by management to approximate fair value primarily due to the short-term nature of the instruments. The Company had no items that required fair value measurement on a recurring basis.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of three to seven years. Expenditures for replacements, renewals, and betterments are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment to determine if current circumstances and market conditions indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Depreciation expense was $754$271 and $7,650$443 for the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2020 and 2019, and 2018, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizesrecognized management fee income as services arewere provided.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company adopted FASB guidance on stock-based compensation upon inception at April 9, 2010. Under FASB ASC 718-10-30-2, all share-based paymentsaccounts for equity instruments issued to employees including grantsin accordance with the provisions of employee stock options,ASC 718 Stock Compensation (ASC 718) and Equity-Based Payments to Non-employees pursuant to ASC 2018-07 (ASC 2018-07). All transactions in which the consideration provided in exchange for the purchase of goods or services consists of the issuance of equity instruments are recognized in the income statementaccounted for based on theirthe fair values. Expensevalue of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date of the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the counterparty’s performance is complete or the date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached because of sufficiently large disincentives for nonperformance. Stock-based compensation was $21,489 and $27,931 consisting entirely of expenses related to common stock and stock options issued for services of $21,489 and compensation totaled $83,705 and $244,664$27,931 for the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2020 and 2019, and 2018, respectively, using the Black-Scholes options pricing model and an effective term of 6 to 6.5 years based on the weighted average of the vesting periods and the stated term of the option grants and the discount rate on 5 to 7 year U.S. Treasury securities at the grant date. In addition, $13,795 of expenses related to the amortization of warrants issued in consideration of personal guarantees provided for debt financing for the three months ended March 31, 2020, using the Black-Scholes options pricing model and an effective term of 5 years based on the weighted average of the vesting periods and the stated term of the warrant grants and the discount rate on 5 year U.S. Treasury securities at the grant date were recognized as interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Uncertain Tax Positions

Effective upon inception at April 9, 2010,In accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”), the Company adopted standards for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes.recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be capable of withstanding examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. These standards prescribe a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. These standards also provide guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.

Various taxing authorities may periodically audit the Company’s income tax returns. These audits include questions regarding the Company’s tax filing positions, including the timing and amount of deductions and the allocation of income to various tax jurisdictions. In evaluating the exposures connected with these various tax filing positions, including state and local taxes, the Company records allowances for probable exposures. A number of years may elapse before a particular matter, for which an allowance has been established, is audited and fully resolved. Black Ridge Oil & Gas, Inc. has not yet undergone an examination by any taxing authorities.

The assessment of the Company’s tax position relies on the judgment of management to estimate the exposures associated with the Company’s various filing positions.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

NewFrom time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. If not discussed below, management believes there have been no developments to recently issued accounting standards, including expected dates of adoption and estimated effects on our financial statements, from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2018.

2019.

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases. The amendments in ASU 2018-10 provide additional clarification and implementation guidance on certain aspects of the previously issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”) and have the same effective and transition requirements as ASU 2016-02. Upon the effective date, ASU 2018-10 will supersede the current lease guidance in ASC Topic 840, Leases. Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize for all leases, with the exception of short-term leases, a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis. Concurrently, lessees will be required to recognize a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. ASU 2018-10 is effective for private companies and emerging growth public companies for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The guidance is required to be applied using a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative periods presented in the financial statements. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2019, and the standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s combined financial statements and related disclosures.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01,Financial Instruments. The amendments in this Update supersede the guidance to classify equity securities with readily determinable fair values into different categories and require equity securities to be measured at fair value with changes in the fair value recognized through net income. The amendments allow equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values to be remeasured at fair value either upon the occurrence of an observable price change or upon identification of impairment. The amendments in this Update also simplify the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring assessment for impairment qualitatively at each reporting period. In addition, the amendments in this Update exempt all entities that are not public business entities from disclosing fair value information for financial instruments measured at amortized cost. In addition, for public business entities, the amendments supersede the requirement to disclose the methods and significant assumptions used in calculating the fair value of financial instruments required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet. The amendments in this Update require public business entities that are required to disclose fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet to measure that fair value using the exit price notion consistent with Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement. In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-03,Technical Corrections and Improvements to Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The amendments in this Update include items brought to the FASB Board’s attention regarding ASU 2016-01.

The provisions within this Update require an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option. This amendment excludes from net income gains or losses that the entity may not realize because those financial liabilities are not usually transferred or settled at their fair values before maturity. The amendments in this Update require separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (that is, securities or loans and receivables) on the balance sheet or in the accompanying notes to the financial statements.

For public business entities, the amendments in ASU 2016-01 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this standard had a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements beginning in the year ended December 31, 2019.

Note 3 – Going Concern

As shown in the accompanying financial statements, as of September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, the Company had a cash balance of $64,613$52,097, and total working capital of negative $2,620,633.$882,749. The Company’s management consulting agreement with AESE calls for management feesCompany has incurred recurring losses from operations resulting in an accumulated deficit of $313,316 from October 1, 2019 through December$34,002,978, and as of March 31, 2019 and does not continue into 2020. Based on projections of cash expenditures in2020, the Company’s current business plan, the cash on hand would be insufficient to fund the Company’s general and administrative expenses over the next year.

The Company continues to pursue sources of additional capital through various management fee agreements and financing transactions or arrangements, including joint venturing of projects, equity financing, debt financing or other means. We may not be successful in identifying suitable funding transactions in a sufficient time period or at all, and we may not obtain the capital we require by other means. If we do not succeed in raising additional capital, our resources may not be sufficient to sustain operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company is currently seeking additional sources of capital to fund our business.short term operations. The Company, however, is dependent upon its ability to secure equity and/or debt financing and there are no assurances that the Company will be successful; therefore, without sufficient financing it would be unlikely for the Company to continue as a going concern.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of any uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. TheseThe financial statements also do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Consolidation of BRAC and Non-controlling Interest

The Company determined that BRAC, following its IPO, was a VIE and that the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The Company determined that, due to the redemption feature associated with the IPO shares, that the IPO shareholders are indirectly protected from the operating expenses of BRAC and BROG had the power to direct the activities of BRAC through the date at which BRAC affords the stockholders the opportunity to vote to approve a proposed business combination. Therefore, the consolidated financial statements contain the operations of the BRAC from its inception on May 9, 2017 through the date of the merger, when BRAC was determined to no longer be a VIE. BRAC’s IPO shareholders are reflected in our Consolidated Financial Statements as a redeemable non-controlling interest prior to the merger. The non-controlling interest was recorded at fair value on October 10, 2017, with an addition on October 18, 2017 as a result of the underwriters’ exercise of their over-allotment option. During the period in which BRAC was consolidated, the net earnings attributable to the IPO shareholders are subtracted from the net gain (loss) for any period to arrive at the net loss attributable to the Company and the non-controlling interest on the balance sheet is adjusted to include the net earnings attributable to the IPO shareholders.

Note 5 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Under FASB ASC 820-10-5, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). The standard outlines a valuation framework and creates a fair value hierarchy in order to increase the consistency and comparability of fair value measurements and the related disclosures. Under GAAP, certain assets and liabilities must be measured at fair value, and FASB ASC 820-10-50 details the disclosures that are required for items measured at fair value.

The Company has cash and cash equivalents and a revolving credit facility that must be measured under the fair value standard. The Company’s financial assets and liabilities are measured using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. The three levels are as follows:

Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 - Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that reflect our assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Note 1413 – Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC Topic 740,Income Taxes, which provides for an asset and liability approach of accounting for income taxes. Under this approach, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on anticipated future tax consequences, using currently enacted tax laws, attributed to temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts calculated for income tax purposes.

Losses incurred during the period from April 9, 2011 (inception) to September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 could be used to offset future tax liabilities. Accounting standards require the consideration of a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets if it is “more likely than not” that some component or all of the benefits of deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, net deferred tax assets were $4,359,663,$6,770,453, with no deferred tax liability, primarily related to net operating loss carryforwards. A valuation allowance of approximately $4,359,663$6,770,453 was applied to the net deferred tax assets. Therefore, BROG has no tax expense for 20192020 to date.

In accordance with FASB ASC 740, the Company has evaluated its tax positions and determined there are no significant uncertain tax positions as of any date on, or before September 30, 2019.March 31, 2020.

We are including the following discussion to inform our existing and potential security holders generally of some of the risks and uncertainties that can affect our company and to take advantage of the “safe harbor” protection for forward-looking statements that applicable federal securities law affords.

From time to time, our management or persons acting on our behalf may make forward-looking statements to inform existing and potential security holders about our company. All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this report regarding our financial position, business strategy, plans and objectives of management for future operations and industry conditions are forward-looking statements. When used in this report, forward-looking statements are generally accompanied by terms or phrases such as “estimate,” “project,” “predict,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “target,” “plan,” “intend,” “seek,” “goal,” “will,” “should,” “may” or other words and similar expressions that convey the uncertainty of future events that have occurred after the balance sheet date through the date these financial statements were issued. No events occurred of a material nature that would have required adjustments to or disclosures in these financialoutcomes. Items making assumptions regarding actual or potential future sales, market size, collaborations, trends or operating results also constitute such forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, and important factors (many of which are beyond our control) that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements include the following:

Note 17 – Explanation

We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and assumptions about future events. While our management considers these expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory and other risks and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our Restatementcontrol. Accordingly, results actually achieved may differ materially from expected results in these statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made.

The Company is filing

Readers are urged not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. We assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements in order to reflect any event or circumstance that may arise after the date of this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/Areport, other than as may be required by applicable law or regulation. Readers are urged to its Quarterly Report forcarefully review and consider the period ended September 30, 2019, which wasvarious disclosures made by us in our reports filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”(the “SEC”) which attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect our business, financial condition, results of operation and cash flows. If one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results may vary materially from those expected or projected.

Overview and Outlook

Effective April 2, 2012, we changed our name to Black Ridge Oil & Gas, Inc. Our common stock is still quoted on November 14, 2019 (the “Original Report”the OTCQB under the trading symbol “ANFC.”

As the sponsor and manager of Black Ridge Acquisition Corp. (“BRAC”) beginning in response to certain issues set forth in our Current ReportMay of 2017, the Company was focused on Form 8-K filed with the SECidentifying and closing a business combination for BRAC, which closed on May 15, 2020 (the “Form 8-K”). The financial statements contained in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2019 require restatement in order to correct the presentation of unrealized losses on our investment inAugust 9, 2019. Upon BRAC (renamed Allied Esports Entertainment, Inc. In accordance with Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-01 –Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10)following the merger or “AESE”, unrealizedand hereafter named as such following the merger) completing its business combination, we continued to provide additional management services to BRAC until December 31, 2019.

Following the close of the Merger, the Company commenced a strategic review to identify, review and explore alternatives for the Company, including a merger, acquisition, or a business combination. The Company currently owns 2,685,500 Sponsor Shares. Of those shares, 537,100 of the Sponsor Shares are subject to distribution rights to officers and directors under the 2018 Management Incentive Plan dated March 6, 2018. Black Ridge is evaluating plans for the remaining Sponsor Shares which could include a distribution of some or all of the Sponsor Share proceeds after expiration of the lock-up agreement on August 9, 2020, presuming that as of such date AESE has repaid or converted amounts it owes pursuant to the bridge financing Note Purchase Agreement and Notes dated as of October 11, 2018 and May 17, 2019.

Going Concern Uncertainty

As of March 31, 2020, the Company had a cash balance of $52,097, and total working capital of negative $882,749. The Company has incurred recurring losses from operations resulting in an accumulated deficit of $34,002,978, and as of March 31, 2020, the Company’s cash on hand may not be sufficient to sustain operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company is currently seeking additional sources of capital to fund short term operations. The Company, however, is dependent upon its ability to secure equity and/or debt financing and there are no assurances that were originally separately presentedthe Company will be successful; therefore, without sufficient financing it would be unlikely for the Company to continue as a going concern.

We continue to pursue sources of additional capital through various financing transactions or arrangements, including joint venturing of projects, equity or debt financing or other comprehensive income have now been amendedmeans. We may not be successful in identifying suitable funding transactions in a sufficient time period or at all, and includedwe may not obtain the capital we require by other means. If we do not succeed in raising additional capital, our net loss. resources may not be sufficient to fund our business.

The changes in ourreport of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm that accompanies its audited consolidated financial statements are summarized, below.in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A contains an explanatory paragraph regarding the substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
