INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the Members of

Proton Green, LLC

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Proton Green, LLC (the "Company") as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the related statements of operations, changes in members' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2022 and the period from February 1, 2021 (Inception) through December 31, 2021, and the related notes to the financial statements (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31 2022 and the period from February 1, 2021 (Inception) through December 31, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred a significant loss, negative cash flows from operations, and is in a deficit working capital position all of which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the account or disclosures to which it relates.

Valuation of Unproved Helium and CO2Properties

Critical Audit Matter Description

As disclosed in Notes 2 and 4 to the financial statements, the Company's helium and CO2 properties are carried on the balance sheet in the amount of $12,362,448. The Company follows the full cost method of accounting for its helium and CO2properties. The helium and CO2 properties are unproved and not producing, which increases the judgement necessary to determine whether an impairment of the properties exist at the balance sheet date. The feasibility of developing the property for the extraction of helium has been developed by specialists, specifically reserve engineers and geoscientists. The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures related to the valuation of unproved helium properties as a critical audit matter include (i) the significant judgment by management, including the use of specialists, when developing the estimates of the value of the helium and CO2properties, and (ii) the need for a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence related to the data, methods, and assumptions used by management and its specialists in developing the value of the properties as compared to the full cost of the helium and CO2 properties at December 31, 2022.

How We Addressed the Matter

We obtained an understanding of the design of internal controls that address the risks of material misstatement relating to recording the costs of helium properties.
We evaluated the work of management's specialist used in determining the value of the unproved helium CO2properties, including an affirmation from the specialist that there were no changes in the underlying assumptions of the value of the unproved properties since the issuance of their report.
We reviewed the specialists' qualifications to ensure they were understood and assessed the Company's relationship with the specialists.
We tested the accuracy of costs recorded during the year related to the development of helium and CO2 properties.
Leases were reviewed for expirations and their effect on the underlying assumptions of the value of the unproved properties.
We performed an independent ceiling test and a sensitivity analysis adjusting the assumptions in the underlying report to ensure reasonableness of the valuation.

PROTON GREEN, LLC

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 - General Business Information

Proton Green, LLC ("Proton Green" or the "Company") is a Wyoming limited liability company that was formed on February 1, 2021 as Plateau Carbon, LLC and changed its legal name to Proton Green, LLC on December 15, 2021. Proton Green is operating under the Operating Agreement of Plateau Carbon, LLC (the "Operating Agreement") dated April 16, 2021. The Company's corporate office is in Houston, Texas.

Proton Green is an energy transition platform company. The Company is focused on the acquisition, exploration, development and production of helium and food grade carbon dioxide (CO2) along with having the capabilities for carbon capture and storage. The Company's assets are concentrated in the St. Johns Field located in Apache County, Arizona of the United States (the "St. Johns Field"). As of, and for the year and period ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, the Company did not have any helium and CO2 production or carbon capture and storage activities.

On July 22, 2021, Proton Green entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the "Purchase and Sale Agreement") with Kinder Morgan CO2 Company LLC ("KMC") pursuant to which the Company agreed to purchase all of KMC's leases, wells, properties, equipment, and contracts, as defined in the Purchase and Sale Agreement, along with various other rights, titles and interests held by KMC related to the St. Johns Field (the "St. Johns Field Acquisition"). The primary activities of the Company since inception include preparing development plans for the St. Johns Field and commencing the installation of infrastructure necessary to gather and process production at the St. Johns Field.

Note 2 - Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company's financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make various assumptions, judgments and estimates to determine the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and expenses. Changes in these assumptions, judgments, and estimates will occur as a result of the passage of time and the occurrence of future events and, accordingly, actual results could differ from amounts previously reported. The more significant areas requiring the use of assumptions, judgments and estimates in these financials include asset retirement obligations, fair value of derivative liabilities, impairments, and accrued expenses. See "Asset Retirement Obligations" of this Note 2 - Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Policies for more details on estimates involved in asset retirement obligations and Note 5 -Fair Value Measurements for more details on estimates and judgement involved in derivative liabilities. While management believes these estimates are reasonable, changes in facts and assumptions, or the discovery of new information may result in revised estimates. Actual results could differ from these estimates, and it is reasonably possible these estimates could be revised in the near term, and these revisions could be material.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all cash on hand and highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. The Company's cash and cash equivalents are held in financial institutions in amounts that may exceed the insurance limits of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, however, management believes the Company's counterparty risks are minimal based on the reputation and history of the institutions selected. There were no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2022 or 2021.

Full Cost Method of Accounting for Helium and CO2 Properties

The Company uses the full cost method of accounting for costs related to the acquisition, exploration, and development of helium and CO2 properties. Under this method, all such costs (productive and nonproductive), including salaries, benefits and other internal costs directly attributable to these activities, are capitalized into a full cost pool and amortized over the estimated lives of the properties using the units-of-production method. These capitalized costs are subject to a ceiling test that limits such pooled costs, net of applicable deferred taxes, to the aggregate of the present value of future net revenues attributable to proved helium resources, discounted at 10% (standardized measure). Any costs in excess of the ceiling are written off as a non-cash expense. The expense may not be reversed in future periods. The ceiling limitation calculation is prepared using fixed contract prices the Company receives for the sale of its helium production. The future cash outflows associated with future development or abandonment of wells will be included in the computation of the discounted present value of future net revenues for purposes of the ceiling limitation calculation. As of, and for the

10

PROTON GREEN, LLC

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

year and period ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, none of the Company's capitalized costs were subject to depreciation, depletion, and amortization ("DD&A") or the ceiling test.

Costs associated with unproved helium and CO2 properties, which may include leasehold, seismic, drilling and capitalized interest costs, are excluded from the amortization base until the properties are evaluated or an impairment is indicated. The Company's decision to withhold costs from amortization and the timing of the transfer of those costs into the amortization base involves judgment and may be subject to changes over time based on several factors, including drilling plans, availability of capital, project economics and drilling results from adjacent acreage. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, all the Company's helium and CO2 properties costs were classified as unproved, excluded from the amortization base and no impairments were recorded.

Other Property and Equipment

The Company's non-full cost pool assets in these financial statements consist of a vehicle. The vehicle is depreciated using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of 5 years.

Intangibles

The Company capitalized $89,883 for implementation costs of a service contract with a hosting arrangement during the first quarter of 2022. The current portion of the balance, net of accumulated amortization, is presented in "Prepaid expenses and other current assets" and the long-term portion of the balance, net of accumulated amortization, is presented in "Other long-term assets" in the Company's Balance Sheets. The service contract with a hosting arrangement relates to the Company's enterprise resource planning system and it is being amortized using the straight-line method over an estimated usefual life of 3 years. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recognized expense of $24,968.

Asset Retirement Obligations (ARO)

Helium and CO2 properties require expenditures to plug and abandon the wells and reclaim the associated pads and other supporting infrastructure when the wells are no longer producing. An ARO associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset such as helium and CO2 properties is recognized as a liability in the period incurred or when it becomes determinable, with an associated increase in the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. These asset retirement costs are depleted on a unit-of-production basis within the full cost pool. The ARO is recorded at its estimated fair value, and accretion expense is recognized over time as the discounted liability is accreted to its expected settlement value.

The following table summarizes the changes in the Company's asset retirement obligation for the periods below:

Year Ended
December 31, 2022

Asset retirement obligations, end of period

$

$

An ARO is determined using significant assumptions, including current estimates of plugging and abandonment costs, annual inflation of these costs, the productive lives of assets and the Company's credit adjusted risk free rate. Changes in any of these assumptions can result in significant revisions to the estimated ARO. Because of the subjectivity of assumptions, the costs to ultimately retire the Company's wells may vary significantly from prior estimates.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Fair Value Measurement

Fair value represents the price that would be received to sell the asset or paid to transfer the liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date. The Company's assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value at each reporting date are classified according to a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs and assumptions underlying the valuation techniques. This fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs and consists of three broad levels:

Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets as of the reporting date.
Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data. These are inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data and may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management's best estimate of fair value.

Valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs are favored. Observable data is considered to be market data if it is readily available, regularly distributed or updated, reliable and verifiable, not proprietary, and provided by multiple, independent sources that are actively involved in the relevant market. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, classification within the fair value hierarchy is based on lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the investment. However, the determination of what constitutes "observable" requires significant judgment. The categorization of an investment within the hierarchy is based upon the pricing transparency of the investment and does not necessarily correspond to the perceived risk of that investment. See Note 5 - Fair Value Measurements for more fair value disclosures.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company reviews the terms of convertible debt, equity instruments and other financing arrangements to determine whether there are embedded derivative instruments, including embedded conversion options that are required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately as a derivative financial instrument. Also, in connection with the issuance of financing instruments, the Company may issue freestanding warrants that may, depending on their terms, be accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities, rather than as equity. The Company recognize its derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. The related cash flow impact of the Company's derivative activities is reflected as cash flows from operating activities unless the derivative contract contains a significant financing element, in which case, they are classified within financing activities.

The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is reassessed at the end of each reporting period. If reclassification is required, the fair value of the derivative instrument, as of the determination date, is reclassified. Any previous changes in fair value recorded to earnings are not reversed. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within twelve months of the balance sheet date. See Note 7 - Derivatives for more derivatives disclosures.

Leases

A right of use asset represents a lessee's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, while the associated lease liability represents the lessee's obligations to make lease payments. At the commencement date, which is the date on which a lessor makes an underlying asset available for use by a lessee, a lease right of use asset and corresponding lease liability is recognized based on the present value of the future lease payments. The initial measurement of lease payments may also be adjusted for certain items, including options that are reasonably certain to be exercised, such as options to purchase the asset at the end of the lease term, or options to extend or early terminate the lease. Excluded from the initial measurement are certain variable lease payments, which for the Company's office rental agreements, are a significant component of the total lease costs.

The Company evaluates a contractual arrangement at its inception to determine if it is a lease or contains an identifiable lease component as defined by FASB ASC Topic 842 - Leases. When evaluating a contract to determine appropriate classification and recognition under FASB ASC Topic 842 - Leases, significant judgment may be necessary to determine, among other criteria, if an embedded leasing arrangement exists, the length of the term, classification as either an operating or financing lease, which options are

reasonably likely to be exercised, fair value of the underlying right of use asset or assets, upfront costs, and future lease payments that are included or excluded in the initial measurement of the right of use asset. By policy election, leases with an initial term of twelve months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis, and variable lease payments are recognized in the period as incurred.

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had operating leases recorded on the balance sheet for office space in Houston, Texas (the "Houston Office") and a site lease agreement in Arizona (the "Site Lease Agreement") for storage of equipment. The Houston Office lease will expire in October 2025 and the Site Lease Agreement will expire in February 2024. All the leases have renewal options, but the Company did not recognize any of the renewal options. The Company excluded variable lease payments for operating expenses in the Houston Office. See Note 8 -Leases for required lease accounting disclosures.

Income Taxes

Proton Green is a limited liability company treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes that is generally not subject to U.S. federal income tax at the entity level. Rather, the Company's net income and losses flow through to the Members, who are responsible for paying the applicable income taxes on the income allocated to them or utilizing the allocated losses. The Company is subject to the Texas franchise tax and the Arizona income tax and will record it as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations.

For tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2018, the Company is subject to partnership audit rules enacted as part of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 (the "Centralized Partnership Audit Regime"). Under the Centralized Partnership Audit Regime, any Internal Revenue Services ("IRS") audit of the Partnership would be conducted at the partnership level, and if the IRS determines an adjustment, the default rule is that the Company would pay an "imputed underpayment" including interest and penalties, if applicable. The Company may instead elect to make a "push-out" election, in which case the partners for the year that is under audit would be required to take into account the adjustments on their personal income tax returns.

The Company's operating agreement does not stipulate how it will address imputed underpayments. If the Company receives an imputed underpayment, a determination will be made based on the relevant facts and circumstances that exist at that time. The Company may treat any payments of imputed underpayment, which are made on behalf of its Members, as distribution of cash to such Members.

Note 3 - Liquidity

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

The Company's development activities require it to make significant operating and capital expenditures. Its primary sources of liquidity have been through the issuance of debt and equity. The primary uses of cash have been for the St. Johns Field Acquisition, development plans for the St. Johns Field, corporate overhead, debt service costs, and paydown of debt.

The Company has completed its first well and commenced production at its Phase I Helium Extraction Plant in July 2023 and the Company had its first sale of helium produced from the St. Johns Field in August 2023. The Company's plan is to expand into its Phase II Helium Extraction Plant and construct CO2 processing facilities, which requires financing from external sources to complete the work. Until the Company completes its Phase II Helium Extraction Plant, it will not have sufficient revenues to address its negative working capital, which includes notes that are past their maturity date, and fund its general corporate overhead. In addition, the Company has suffered recurring losses since inception and has no assurance of future profitability. There is no assurance that the financing will be achieved, accordingly, there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company used a Black-Scholes-Merton model to estimate the fair value of the conversion options and bifurcated warrants, which included assumptions such as risk-free rate, volatility, and expected term to estimate the fair value of the conversion options and the bifurcated warrants. After determining the fair value using the Black-Scholes-Merton model, such fair value was multiplied times the assumed ownership percentage from the conversion. As of December 31, 2022, after multiplying the fair value estimated by the Black Scholes-Merton model times the assumed ownership percentage from the conversion,

For the year and period ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, a gain of $142,698 and $66,957, respectively, was included within "Gain on derivative mark-to-market" in the Statements of Operation.

The Company's Amended and Restated Notes have a fair value of $5,525,846 compared to their carrying value of $19,280,887. The significant inputs into the fair value measurement includes the repayment period and the discount rate, which are classified as Level 3 inputs.

The carrying amounts of the Company's cash, related party note receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate their fair values because of the short-term maturities or liquid nature of these assets and liabilities.

Fair Value of Non-financial Assets and Liabilities

Non-financial assets and liabilities that are initially measured at fair value are comprised of ARO and stock-based compensation.

The Company did not add any ARO during the year ended December 31, 2022. During the period ended December 31, 2021, upon the close of the St. Johns Field Acquisition, the Company assumed $656,246 of ARO. The initial measurement of the ARO at fair value was calculated using discounted cash flow techniques. Significant Level 3 inputs used in the calculation of ARO include plugging costs and helium resource lives.

The Company measures stock-based compensation based on the fair value of the award on the date of grant. During the year ended December 31, 2022, Proton Green issued Membership Interest as nonemployee compensation in the amount of $2,499,500. The fair value was determined using the fair value of Membership Interest sold at arm's length during 2022.
