Future Outlook

The prospectus enables Kolibri Global Energy to raise capital for future business objectives, ongoing operations, working capital, debt repayment, discretionary capital programs, and potential future acquisitions. It also discusses forward-looking information related to exploratory and development work, production estimates, capital expenditure programs, market prices, and the ability to raise capital.

Industry Context

Kolibri Global Energy is an international energy corporation focused on oil, gas, and clean/sustainable energy, with current operations primarily in the Caney Shale oil acreage in the Tishomingo Field, Oklahoma, U.S.A. The filing highlights general risks of the energy industry, including volatility in market prices for oil and natural gas, and competition for capital and acquisitions.

Comparison to Industry Standards

• Financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), which may not be comparable to financial statements of United States companies reporting under U.S. GAAP.
• Oil and gas reserves disclosure is in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 51-101 (NI 51-101), which permits disclosure of proved and proved plus probable reserves and pre-royalty production, differing from SEC definitions (which primarily require proved reserves after royalty deduction).
• Net present value of future net revenue from reserves is estimated using forecast prices and costs under NI 51-101, whereas the SEC requires estimates based on historical 12-month average prices and current costs.

Corporate Governance

Stakeholder Impact

• Shareholders: Potential dilution of voting power and reduction in future earnings per Common Share due to future equity issuances. Risk of market price decline and inability to sell shares without significant price reduction.
• Investors (general): Investment is highly speculative and involves significant risks. Purchasers of Non-Listed Securities may face illiquidity.
• Creditors: Potential repayment of indebtedness from capital raise proceeds.
• Employees: Risk related to the company's ability to hire and retain skilled staff.

Next Steps

• Issuance of Prospectus Supplements for specific offerings of securities.
• Potential future acquisitions of other businesses, assets, or securities.
• Ongoing exploration and development work, including drilling and fracture-stimulations in the Caney formation on Oklahoma acreage.
• Continued efforts to identify and acquire additional energy projects.
