Corporate Information
MMEX was formed as a Nevada corporation in 2005. The current management team led an acquisition of the Company (then named Management Energy, Inc.) through a reverse merger completed in 2010 and changed the Company’s name to MMEX Mining Corporation in 2011 and then to MMEX Resources Corporation in 2016. Our mailing address is 3616 Far West Blvd #117-321, Austin, Texas 78731. Our physical office address is 107-A S. Main Street, Fort Stockton, Texas 79735. The Company has adopted a fiscal year end of April 30.
Company Overview
Since 2016, the focus of our business has been to build crude oil distillation units and refining facilities (CDUs) in the Permian Basin in West Texas. We revised our business plan in 2021 to move MMEX to clean energy use and production, leveraging our history, management and business relationships from the traditional energy sector. The focus of our business plan is to
|
|
· |
Modify our planned CDU projects in Pecos County (West Texas) to produce potentially hydrogen and ultra-low sulfur fuel products combined with CO2 capture. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
· |
Purchase additional acreage allowing us to develop additional megawatts of solar power for distribution to our projects in West Texas. |
Our immediate plans are to pursue the following three projects:
Project 1: Ultra Fuel clean refining.
We have teamed with Polaris Engineering to develop a clean refining, 10,000 barrel per day facility at our Pecos County site to produce 87° gasoline, ultra-low sulphur diesel and low-sulphur fuel oil, utilizing the Ultra Fuels concept. The Ultra Fuels concept features small size facilities to take advantage of proximity to smaller markets and/or locate directly near crude oil production areas. Because equipment is fabricated in modular units in the USA and shipped to site, this allows for 15 to 18 months’ project completion time and more rapid implementation than traditional facilities. The smaller size and footprint, as well as lower emissions, also allows for faster permitting.

Project 2: Blue Hydrogen
We have teamed with Black Tree Group to develop a facility in Pecos County to produce hydrogen with carbon capture and storage employing steam methane reformer technology with the abundant natural gas supplies in the immediate area as the feedstock.
Project 3: Green Hydrogen
This planned project will be a parallel plant in Pecos County, which plans to utilize the proprietary electrolyzer technology of a major international technology partner. The facility will utilize solar power, with water purification, to produce up to 50 tons of hydrogen production per day.
We are in various stages of negotiations with major company off-takes that range from specialty air and gas companies to international trading companies. We would expect the sales of hydrogen by these companies will be to their customer base, which are more traditional chemical end uses. The proposed distribution network of liquid hydrogen from our planned projects will be by truck and rail.
Completion of these projects is dependent upon our obtaining the necessary capital for planning, construction and start-up costs. We are in consultation with the local and state tax authorities to file for tax abatement treatment generally applicable to projects such as our H2 projects. However, neither the receipt of adequate capital or tax abatement treatment can be assured.
The New Hydrogen Economy
The energy systems both in the United States and internationally are rapidly evolving. Major energy companies, regulatory agencies and all segments of society are working toward decarbonization and preservation of natural resources. In the interim, however, we need electric power and transportation energy. Hydrogen, as the most abundant fuel in the universe, is an energy carrier that cuts across sectors and has multiple benefits.
Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe; however, it is rarely found in its elemental form on earth. It must be produced from a hydrogen-containing feedstock (e.g., water, biomass, fossil fuels, or waste materials) using an energy source. Once hydrogen is produced, it can be used to store, move, and deliver low- or no-carbon energy to where it is needed. Hydrogen can be stored as a liquid, gas, or chemical compound, and is converted to energy via traditional combustion methods (in engines, furnaces, or gas turbines), through electrochemical processes (in fuel cells), and through hybrid approaches such as integrated combined cycle gasification and fuel cell systems. It is also used as a feedstock or fuel in a number of industries, including petroleum refining, ammonia production, food and pharmaceutical production, and metals manufacturing. Hydrogen can be produced in large centralized production facilities or in smaller distributed production facilities, and can be transported via truck, pipeline, tanker, or other means. Hydrogen, as a versatile energy carrier and chemical feedstock, offers advantages that unite all of our nation’s energy resources—renewables, nuclear, and fossil fuels—and enables innovations in energy production and end uses that can help decarbonize three of the most energy intensive sectors of our economy: transportation, electricity generation, and manufacturing.
Supplying hydrogen to industrial users is now a major business globally. Demand for hydrogen, which has grown more than threefold since 1975, continues to rise. Demand for hydrogen in its pure form is approximately 70 million tons per year. Governments are recognizing hydrogen’s role in energy security and its ability to decarbonize sectors that are otherwise extremely difficult to abate – such as logistics, industrial heating and industry feedstock. Meanwhile, industry leaders across the automotive, chemicals, oil and gas and heating sectors look to low-carbon and renewable hydrogen as a serious alternative to reach their increasingly robust sustainability objectives.

Management Expertise in Oil, Gas, Refining and Electric Power Project Development and Project Finance Development
MMEX management has over 30 years of experience in natural resource project development and project financing in North and South America and the U.K. In addition, MMEX directors and principal stockholders with oil, gas, refining and electric power experience will bring this expertise into the Company.
MMEX principals formed Maple Resources Corporation (“Maple Resources”) in 1986 to engage in the evaluation, acquisition and development of oil & gas, refining, power generation, natural gas transmission and processing energy projects in the western United States and Latin America. Maple Resources and its principals have engaged in a number of oil and gas acquisitions and dispositions and ultimately acquired assets that included 10 gas processing plants and approximately 770 miles of natural gas gathering lines and transmission infrastructure. In 1992, Maple Resources sold substantially all of its existing US-based assets and began to pursue energy projects in Latin America, particularly in Peru through its affiliate The Maple Gas Corporation del Peru Ltd (“Maple Peru”). In 1993, Maple Peru began developing the Aguaytía Project, an integrated natural gas and electric power generation and transmission project. This US$273 million project involved the first commercial development of a natural gas field in Peru, as well as the construction and operation of approximately 175 miles of hydrocarbon pipelines, a gas processing plant, a fractionation facility, a 153 MW power plant and the related 392 km of electricity transmission lines. The Aguaytía Project began commercial operation in 1998. Maple Peru also acquired a 4,000-bpd refinery in Pucallpa along with 3 producing oil fields.
Jack Hanks, our President and CEO, is no longer engaged in the active business operations of Maple Peru and is able to devote substantially all of his business time to his duties on behalf of the Company. Further, we do not anticipate that Maple Resources will present any conflicts of interest for the MMEX principals in carrying out their responsibilities on behalf of the Company.
Proposed Organizational Structure
The Company expects to operate its planned projects through subsidiaries. The construction of the planned projects will require substantial equity and debt financing, far beyond the expected resources of the Company, and we anticipate that the subsidiaries will obtain equity and debt financing to finance the cost of construction. To the extent these subsidiaries raise money through the issuance of equity securities, our ownership in the subsidiaries will be diluted and our economic ownership of such entities may be a minority interest. As such, we will be entitled to only a portion of any future distributions made by these subsidiaries. In addition, while intend to retain managerial control of the subsidiaries, it is likely that equity investors will require representation on the board of managers in connection with their equity investments.
We anticipate these subsidiaries will be able to finance a majority of the total costs of the planned projects through debt financing, and the remaining portion of the total costs would be financed through equity investments. We intend to pursue the required debt financing from banks or other large institutional investors. Traditionally, such debt financing is in the form of project financing, which among other terms will require the project subsidiary to restrict its activities to the operation of the project financed by the lender, to pledge all assets of the project to the lender and to be subject to restrictive financial covenants. Such lenders further typically require engineering, marketing and feasibility studies as a condition precedent to the financing. The Company will have to fund the cost of these reports and studies.
Regulation
Although we do not believe our planned blue hydrogen and green hydrogen projects will have any significant environmental or ecological impact, we will be subject to numerous environmental laws and regulations relating to the release of hazardous substances or solid wastes into the soil, groundwater, and surface water, and measures to control pollution of the environment. These laws generally regulate the generation, storage, treatment, transportation, and disposal of solid and hazardous waste. They also require corrective action, including investigation and remediation, at a facility where such waste may have been released or disposed. There are risks of accidental releases into the environment associated with our operations, such as releases of crude oil or hazardous substances from our pipelines or storage facilities. To the extent an event is not covered by our insurance policies, accidental releases could subject us to substantial liabilities arising from environmental cleanup and restoration costs, claims made by neighboring landowners and other third parties for personal injury and property damage, and fines or penalties for any related violations of environmental laws or regulations.

We expect to file with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (“TCEQ”) for construction and operation permits. We expect to employ carbon capture with the clean fuels and blue hydrogen facilities. We are studying the options for sequestration for the CO2 in the various saline formations under our sites, which will require permits from the EPA or the Texas Railroad Commission (which, we understand, is in the process of seeking primacy for sequestration permitting).
Our planned operations may also be subject to the Department of Homeland Security’s Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards, which are designed to regulate the security of high-risk chemical facilities, and to the Transportation Security Administration’s Pipeline Security Guidelines and Transportation Worker Identification Credential program. If applicable, we will have to have an internal program of inspection designed to monitor and enforce compliance with all of these requirements, and we will need to develop a Facility Security Plan as required under the relevant law. We will also have to have in place procedures to monitor compliance with all applicable laws and regulations regarding the security of all our facilities.
Our planned operations will also be subject to the requirements of the Occupational Safety and Health Act (“OSHA”) and comparable state statutes that regulate the protection of the health and safety of workers. In addition, the OSHA hazard communication standard requires that information be maintained about hazardous materials used or produced in operations and that this information be provided to employees, state and local government authorities and citizens. We may also become subject to OSHA Process Safety Management regulations, which are designed to prevent or minimize the consequences of catastrophic releases of toxic, reactive, flammable or explosive chemicals. We will take measures to ensure that our operations are in substantial compliance with OSHA requirements, including general industry standards, record keeping requirements, and monitoring of occupational exposure to regulated substances.
Employees
As of April 30, 2021, we had no employees but rather to reduce costs our key management team is working under consulting agreements. We contract for all professional services when needed. Our two directors have not received any compensation for their service on the Board.

Penny Stock
Our stock is considered to be a penny stock. The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a market price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, that: (a) contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; (b) contains a description of the broker’s or dealer’s duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation of such duties or other requirements of the securities laws; (c) contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price; (d) contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; (e) defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and (f) contains such other information and is in such form, including language, type size and format, as the SEC shall require by rule or regulation.
The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with: (a) bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; (b) the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; (c) the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and (d) a monthly account statement showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement as to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement.
These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity for our common stock. Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling our securities.

All written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to us are expressly qualified in their entirety by such factors. We undertake no obligation to publicly release the result of any revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we are not entitled to rely on the safe harbor for forward looking statements under 27A of the Securities Act or 21E of the Exchange Act as long as our stock is classified as a penny stock within the meaning of Rule 3a51-1 of the Exchange Act. A penny stock is generally defined to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined in Rule 3a51-1) of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements, including the notes thereto.
Overview
Business Overview
Since 2016, the focus of our business has been to build crude oil distillation units and refining facilities (CDUs) in the Permian Basin in West Texas. We revised our business plan in 2021 to move MMEX to clean energy use and production, leveraging our history, management and business relationships from the traditional energy sector. The focus of our business plan is to
|
|
· |
Modify our planned CDU projects in Pecos County (West Texas) to produce potentially hydrogen and ultra-low sulfur fuel products combined with CO2 capture. |
|
|
· |
Purchase additional acreage allowing us to develop additional megawatts of solar power for distribution to our projects in West Texas. |
Our immediate plans are to pursue the following three projects:
Project 1: A clean refining 10,000 barrel per day facility at our Pecos County site to produce 87° gasoline, ultra-low sulphur diesel and low-sulphur fuel oil, utilizing the Ultra Fuels concept.
Project 2: We have teamed with Black Tree Group to develop a “blue hydrogen” facility in Pecos County to produce hydrogen with carbon capture and storage employing steam methane reformer technology with the abundant natural gas supplies in the immediate area as the feedstock.
Project 3: A parallel “green hydrogen” plant in Pecos County, which plans to utilize the proprietary electrolizer technology of a major international technology partner.
We are in various stages of negotiations with major company off-takes that range from specialty air and gas companies to international trading companies. We would expect the sales of hydrogen by these companies will be to their customer base, which are more traditional chemical end uses. The proposed distribution network of liquid hydrogen from our planned projects will be by truck and rail.

Completion of these projects is dependent upon our obtaining the necessary capital for planning, construction and start-up costs. We are in consultation with the local and state tax authorities to file for tax abatement treatment generally applicable to projects such as our hydrogen projects. However, neither the receipt of adequate capital or tax abatement treatment can be assured.
Through April 30, 2021, we have had no revenues and have reported continuing losses from operations.
Results of Operations
We recorded a net loss of $24,526,886 or $(14.23) per share, for fiscal year ended April 30, 2021, compared to a net loss of $4,393,689 or $(6.57) per share, for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2020. As discussed below, the net income or loss for any fiscal year fluctuates materially due to non-operating gains and losses.
Revenues
We have not yet begun to generate revenues.
General and Administrative Expenses
Our general and administrative expenses decreased $36,835 to $867,471 for the year ended April 30, 2021 from $904,306 for the year ended April 30, 2020. The decrease resulted from lower salaries, travel and other expenses associated with securing debt financing and administrative activities of our development activities due to limitations on funding during the current fiscal year.
Refinery Start-Up Costs
During the year ended April 30, 2021, the expenditures for the development of our CDU project in Pecos County, Texas decreased from the prior fiscal year due to financing constraints. We have expensed all costs incurred, including acquisition of refinery rights, planning, design and permitting. Such costs totaled $179,133 and $214,439 for the years ended April 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense
Our depreciation and amortization expenses remained constant, totaling $34,875 and $34,663 for the years ended April 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The expense results from the depreciation of land improvements and amortization of land easements.
Other Income (Expense)
Our interest expense decreased $703,108 to $1,143,495 for the year ended April 30, 2021 from $1,846,603 for the year ended April 30, 2020. We entered into fewer convertible debt arrangements in the current fiscal year, resulting in less amortization of debt discount to interest expense, which was partially offset by the increase in loan penalties and default interest.
For the years ended April 30, 2021 and 2020, we reported losses on derivative liabilities of $22,906,922 and $1,402,233, respectively. In a series of subscription agreements, we issued warrants in prior years that contain certain anti-dilution provisions that we have identified as derivatives. We also identified the variable conversion feature of certain convertible notes payable as derivatives. We estimate the fair value of the derivatives using multinomial lattice models that value the warrants based on a probability weighted cash flow model using projections of the various potential outcomes. These estimates are based on multiple inputs, including the market price of our stock, interest rates, our stock price volatility and management’s estimates of various potential equity financing transactions. These inputs are subject to significant changes from period to period and to management's judgment; therefore, the estimated fair value of the derivative liabilities will fluctuate from period to period, and the fluctuation may be material.
We reported a gain on extinguishment of debt of $605,010 for the year ended April 30, 2021 compared to a gain on extinguishment of debt of $8,555 for the year ended April 30, 2020. The gain on extinguishment of debt generally results from the settlement and extinguishment of convertible notes payable and certain accounts payable and accrued expenses. During the year ended April 30, 2021 we settled certain notes which resulted in principal and accrued interest being written off for a gain of $242,102. We also recorded a gain of $194,008 for the write off of the derivative liabilities associated with the settlement of the notes and we recorded a gain of $167,900 when the United States Small Business Administration forgave our loan issued under the Paycheck Protection Program.

Going Concern Uncertainty
Our financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplate the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have incurred continuous losses from operations, have an accumulated deficit of $67,984,693 and a total stockholders’ deficit of $5,770,041 at April 30, 2021, and have reported negative cash flows from operations since inception. In addition, as of April 30, 2021 we did not have the cash resources to meet our operating commitments for the next twelve months. We require capital investments to implement our business plan, including the development of our planned hydrogen projects. On July 15, 2021, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) which closed on July 20, 2021, pursuant to which we issued and sold to an institutional investor in a registered direct offering 170,000 shares of our common stock, 2,575,000 warrants, and 3,580,000 pre-funded warrants. We received proceeds of $2,650,850 after deducting placement agent fees and related offering expenses. We have subsequently utilized approximately $560,000 of the proceeds to reduce indebtedness and intend to utilize the remaining amount for working capital purposes. Nevertheless, our ability to continue as a going concern must be considered in light of the problems, expenses and complications frequently encountered by entrance into established markets and the competitive environment in which we operate.
In addition to the SPA, we expect to continue to seek additional funding through private or public equity and debt financing.
Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to generate sufficient cash from operations to meet our cash needs and/or to raise funds to finance ongoing operations and repay debt. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in our efforts to raise additional debt or equity capital and/or that our cash generated by our operations will be adequate to meet our needs. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
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. The 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.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to inventories, investments, intangible assets, income taxes, financing operations, and contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
For further information on our significant accounting policies see the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report. There were no material changes to our significant accounting policies during the year ended April 30, 2021. The following is a description of those significant accounting policies that involve estimates and judgment by management.

Derivative liabilities
In a series of subscription agreements, the Company issued warrants in prior years that contain certain anti-dilution provisions that have been identified as derivatives. In addition, the Company identified the conversion feature of certain convertible notes payable and convertible preferred stock as derivatives. As of April 30, 2021, the number of warrants or common shares to be issued under these agreements is indeterminate; therefore, the Company concluded that the equity environment is tainted and all additional warrants, stock options and convertible debt are included in the value of the derivative. We estimate the fair value of the derivatives using multinomial lattice models that value the derivative liabilities based on a probability weighted cash flow model using projections of the various potential outcomes. These estimates are based on multiple inputs, including the market price of our stock, interest rates, our stock price volatility and management’s estimates of various potential equity financing transactions. These inputs are subject to significant changes from period to period and to management's judgment; therefore, the estimated fair value of the derivative liabilities will fluctuate from period to period, and the fluctuation may be material.
Fair value of financial instruments
Under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, and ASC 825, Financial Instruments, the FASB 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, accrued expenses and notes reported on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets are estimated by management to approximate fair value primarily due to the short-term nature of the instruments.
An entity is required to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value using a hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The hierarchy prioritized the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
Our derivative liabilities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and estimated as follows:

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
There have been no changes in or disagreements with our accountants on accounting and financial disclosures.
Item 9A(T): Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered in this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error or fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. To address the material weaknesses, we performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures in an effort to ensure our consolidated financial statements included in this annual report have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act, as amended. Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of April 30, 2021. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. We have identified the following material weaknesses:
|
|
1. |
As of April 30, 2021, we did not maintain effective controls over the control environment. Specifically, the Board of Directors does not currently have any independent members and no director qualifies as an audit committee financial expert as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-B. Since these entity level programs have a pervasive effect across the organization, management has determined that these circumstances constitute a material weakness. |
|
|
2. |
As of April 30, 2021, we did not maintain effective controls over financial statement disclosure. Specifically, controls were not designed and in place to ensure that all disclosures required were originally addressed in our financial statements. Accordingly, management has determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness. |
|
|
||
|
|
3. |
As of April 30, 2021, we did not establish a formal written policy for the approval, identification and authorization of related party transactions. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. |
As of April 30, 2021, we had no full-time employees with the requisite expertise in the key functional areas of finance and accounting. As a result, there is a lack of proper segregation of duties necessary to ensure that all transactions are accounted for accurately and in a timely manner |
| 14 |
|
|
| Table of Contents |
Because of these material weaknesses, management has concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of April 30, 2021, based on the criteria established in "2013 Internal Control-Integrated Framework" issued by the COSO.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
There have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting through the date of this report or during the quarter ended April 30, 2021, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
Independent Registered Accountant's Internal Control Attestation.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management's report in this annual report.
Corrective Action.
Subject to availability of funds and progress with the Company’s business plan, management plans to address the structure of the Board of Directors and discuss adding an audit committee during fiscal year 2022.
None.

________________________
Mr. Hanks has served as Director, Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company since the merger of Maple Carpenter Creek, LLC with the Company in September 2010. Mr. Hanks founded Maple Resources Corporation in 1986 and has been President or Chairman of the Board of Maple Resources since its inception. Mr. Hanks has also been the Executive Chairman of Maple Energy plc, a publicly listed company on the London Stock Exchange AIM and the Lima Bolsa. Prior to founding Maple Resources Corporation, Mr. Hanks was a partner in the Washington D.C. office of the law firm of Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP. Mr. Hanks graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a law degree in 1971 and a petroleum land management degree in 1968. We believe that Mr. Hanks’ business, finance and management experience qualifies him to serve as a member of our board of directors.
Mr. Lemons has been a practicing lawyer in the mineral area for over 25 years. He has been a private investor in oil and gas and coal projects in the last several years, including in Maple Carpenter Creek, LLC and Maple Energy, plc and predecessor entities. Since 2002, Mr. Lemons has served as a director of Ansen, an electronics manufacturing company based in upstate New York. Mr. Lemons was a partner in the law firms of Holme Roberts & Owen and in Holland & Hart. Mr. Lemons graduated law school from Brigham Young University in 1980, where he was a member of law review, and holds undergraduate degrees in Economics and Political Science from Utah State University. We believe that Mr. Lemons’ business, finance and management experience qualifies him to serve as a member of our board of directors.
We are not aware of any “family relationships” (as defined in Item 401(d) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC) among directors, executive officers, or persons nominated or chosen by us to become directors or executive officers.
The Board of Directors has determined that neither director is “independent” as such term is defined by the listing standards of Nasdaq and the rules of the SEC. Mr. Lemons is not “independent” due to his significant beneficial ownership of our common stock. Mr. Hanks is not “independent” due to his significant beneficial ownership of our common stock and his role as an executive officer of the Company.
Audit, Nominating and Compensation Committees
Because we are not listed on a securities exchange, we are not required to establish audit, nominating or compensation committees of the Board of Directors and we have not done so. In the event we elect to seek listing on a securities exchange, we will meet the corporate governance requirements imposed by a national securities exchange, including the appointment of an audit committee, nominating committee and compensation committee, the adoption of charters for each such committee and the appointment of independent directors to such committees as required by the requirements of such securities exchange.

(1) Mr. Hanks has served as Chief Executive Officer since September 21, 2010.
There are no employment agreements in place and no severance benefits are currently in place. During the years ended April 30, 2021 and 2020, we incurred consulting fees and expense reimbursement related to business development, financing and other corporate activities to Maple Resources Corporation (“Maple Resources”), a related party controlled by our President and CEO, totaling $218,970 and $275,713, respectively. Amounts included in accounts payable due to Maple Resources totaled $118,540 and $101,012 as of April 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End
We have not granted any stock awards other than stock options. At April 30, 2021, we had no outstanding stock options or other equity awards issued to our executive officers.
The following table sets forth as of July 29, 2021, the name and number of shares of the Company’s common stock beneficially owned by (i) each of the directors and named executive officers of the Company, (ii) beneficial owners of 5% or more of our common stock; and (iii) all the officers and directors as a group. Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC, shares of common stock that an individual or group has a right to acquire within 60 days pursuant to the exercise of options or warrants are deemed to be outstanding for the purposes of computing the percentage ownership of such individual or group, but are not deemed to be outstanding for the purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other person shown in the table.
SEC rules provide that, for purposes hereof, a person is considered the “beneficial owner” of shares with respect to which the person, directly or indirectly, has or shares the voting or investment power, irrespective of his/her/its economic interest in the shares. Unless otherwise noted, each person identified possesses sole voting and investment power over the shares listed, subject to community property laws.
The percentages in the table below are based on 3,701,209 shares of common stock outstanding on July 29, 2021. Shares of common stock subject to options and warrants that are exercisable within 60 days of July 29, 2021 are deemed beneficially owned by the person holding such options for the purposes of calculating the percentage of ownership of such person but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage of any other person.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions and Director Independence
Unless otherwise indicated, the terms of the following transactions between related parties were not determined as a result of arm’s length negotiations.
Contractual Agreements
Maple Resources granted BNL Family Trust (“BNL”), a related party to Mr. Lemons, an option to purchase 1,000,000 shares of common stock from Maple Resources at a price of $0.20 per share. The option expires in March 2022. Beneficial ownership of Messrs. Hanks and. Lemons give effect to the exercise of such option.
As a condition for entering into an October 9, 2018 convertible debenture, the lender required Maple Resources and BNL, affiliates of Jack W. Hanks and Bruce Lemons, respectively, our directors (the “Affiliates”), to pledge their shares of Class B Common Stock (constituting 100% of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock) to the lender to secure the repayment of the debenture by the Company.

This convertible note was entered into on 12/27/19 in exchange for cash of $5,500 and financing fees of $5,500 and was convertible into common shares of the Company at a conversion price equal to 110% of the lowest price at which the shares of common stock were issued by the Company during the twenty prior trading days, including the day upon which a notice of conversion is received by the Company. At inception the Company identified the conversion feature of the convertible note as a derivative and estimated the fair value of the derivative using a multinomial lattice model simulation and assuming the existence of a tainted equity environment (see Note 10). On the effective date of the convertible note, the related party lender simultaneously submitted a notice to convert the total note principal into 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (10,000,000,000 shares pre-split). The conversions were not completed, and the shares were not issued, due to a lack of sufficient shares of common stock at the time the conversion was requested. During the year ended April 30, 2021 shares became available to affect a partial conversion, therefore 360,682 common shares (1,579,982,678 pre-split shares) were issued to extinguish $3,967 of the principal balance. The Company continues to accrue interest on the convertible note until they can issue all shares to satisfy the conversion request and recorded interest expense of $171 during the year ended April 30, 2021. As of April 30, 2021 and 2020 accrued interest on the convertible note was $718 and $547, respectively. |

INDEX TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
MMEX Resources Corporation
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of MMEX Resources Corporation (the Company) as of April 30, 2021 and 2020, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (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 April 30, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the company suffered a net loss for the year ended April 30, 2021 and had a working capital deficit and a stockholders’ deficit as of April 30, 2021, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 3. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s 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 consolidated 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 Company’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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and the significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe 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 critical audit matters 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 separate opinions on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Derivative Liabilities
As discussed in Note 10, the Company has a derivative liability due to a tainted equity environment.
Auditing a specialist’s calculation of the value of derivatives can be a significant judgment given the fact that the Company uses the specialist’s estimates on various inputs to the calculation.
To evaluate the appropriateness of the derivative fair value determined by management, we examined and evaluated the inputs management used in calculating the fair value of the derivatives. To evaluate the appropriateness of the estimates used by the derivative specialist, we examined and evaluated the inputs the specialist used in calculating the value of the derivatives.

PRT was formed in June 2017 with the Company as its sole member. PRT owns the land on which the Company’s planned hydrogen projects are to be developed. The Company’s other subsidiaries are currently inactive.
As of April 13, 2016, the Company assigned AMC to an irrevocable trust (the “Trust”), whose beneficiaries are the existing shareholders of MMEX. The accounts of AMC are included in the consolidated financial statements due to the common ownership. AMC through the Trust controls the Hunza coal interest previously owned by MMEX.
All significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
The Company has adopted a fiscal year end of April 30.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its aforementioned subsidiaries and entities under common ownership. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The ownership interests in subsidiaries that are held by owners other than the Company are recorded as non-controlling interest and reported in our consolidated balance sheets within stockholders’ deficit. Losses attributed to the non-controlling interest and to the Company are reported separately in our consolidated statements of operations.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment is recorded at the lower of cost or estimated net recoverable amount, and is depreciated or amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life or legal life of the related asset as follows:
|
Office furniture and equipment |
10 years |
|
Computer equipment and software |
5 years |
|
Land improvement |
15 years |
|
Land easements |
10 years |
The land easements owned by the Company have a legal life of 10 years.
Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Significant renewals and betterments will be capitalized. At the time of retirement or other disposition of equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation will be removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss, if any, will be reflected in operations.
The Company will assess the recoverability of property and equipment by determining whether the depreciation and amortization of these assets over their remaining life can be recovered through projected undiscounted future cash flows. The amount of equipment impairment, if any, will be measured based on fair value and is charged to operations in the period in which such impairment is determined by management.
Derivative liabilities
In a series of subscription agreements, the Company issued warrants in prior years that contain certain anti-dilution provisions that have been identified as derivatives. In addition, the Company identified the conversion feature of certain convertible notes payable and convertible preferred stock as derivatives. As of April 30, 2021, the number of warrants or common shares to be issued under these agreements is indeterminate; therefore, the Company concluded that the equity environment is tainted and all additional warrants, stock options and convertible debt are included in the value of the derivative. We estimate the fair value of the derivatives using multinomial lattice models that value the derivative liabilities based on a probability weighted cash flow model using projections of the various potential outcomes. These estimates are based on multiple inputs, including the market price of our stock, interest rates, our stock price volatility and management’s estimates of various potential equity financing transactions. These inputs are subject to significant changes from period to period and to management's judgment; therefore, the estimated fair value of the derivative liabilities will fluctuate from period to period, and the fluctuation may be material.

Fair value of financial instruments
Under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, and ASC 825, Financial Instruments, the FASB 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, accrued expenses and notes reported on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets are estimated by management to approximate fair value primarily due to the short-term nature of the instruments.
An entity is required to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value using a hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The hierarchy prioritized the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
Our derivative liabilities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and estimated as follows:

Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), as amended. ASC 606 provides a single comprehensive model to be used in the accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The standard’s stated core principle is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this core principle, ASC 606 includes provisions within a five-step model that includes identifying the contract with a customer, identifying the performance obligations in the contract, determining the transaction price, allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations, and recognizing revenue when, or as, an entity satisfies a performance obligation.

Refinery start-up costs
Costs incurred prior to opening the Company’s then proposed crude oil refinery in Pecos County, Texas, including acquisition of refinery rights, planning, design and permitting, are recorded as start-up costs and expensed as incurred.
Advertising and promotion
All costs associated with advertising and promoting products are expensed as incurred. For the year ended April 30, 2021 and 2020, $10,000 and $0 were recorded, respectively.
Income taxes
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases 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.
Uncertain tax positions
The Company has adopted FASB standards for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. 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 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. The Company has not yet undergone an examination by any taxing authorities and has not identified any uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in its consolidated financial statements.
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.
Basic and diluted income (loss) per share
Basic net income or loss per common share is calculated by dividing net income or loss (available to common stockholders) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted income or loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock, such as stock options, warrants, convertible debt and convertible preferred stock, were exercised or converted into common stock. For the years ended April 30, 2021 and 2020, potential dilutive securities had an anti-dilutive effect and were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per common share; therefore, basic net loss per common share is the same as diluted net loss per share.
Employee Stock-based compensation
Pursuant to FASB ASC 718, all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized in the statement of operations based on their fair values. For the years ended April 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded share-based compensation to employees of $0 and $0, respectively.

Issuance of shares for non-cash consideration
The Company accounts for the issuance of equity instruments to acquire goods and/or services based on the fair value of the goods and services or the fair value of the equity instrument at the time of issuance, whichever is more reliably determinable. The Company's accounting policy for equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services follows the provisions of the standards issued by the FASB. The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued is determined as the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at which the consultant or vendor's performance is complete. In the case of equity instruments issued to consultants, the fair value of the equity instrument is recognized over the term of the consulting agreement.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements for the prior year have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. Under current GAAP, there are five accounting models for convertible debt instruments. ASU 2020-06 removes from U.S. GAAP the separation models for (1) convertible debt with a cash conversion feature and (2) convertible instruments with a beneficial conversion feature. As a result, after adopting the ASU’s guidance, entities will not separately present in equity an embedded conversion feature in such debt. Instead, they will account for a convertible debt instrument wholly as debt, and for convertible preferred stock wholly as preferred stock (i.e., as a single unit of account), unless (1) a convertible instrument contains features that require bifurcation as a derivative under ASC 815 or (2) a convertible debt instrument was issued at a substantial premium. Additionally, for convertible debt instruments with substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in capital, the FASB decided to add disclosures about (1) the fair value amount and the level of fair value hierarchy of the entire instrument for public business entities and (2) the premium amount recorded as paid-in capital. ASU 2020-06 will be effective for public business entities that meet the definition of a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filer, excluding entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of the adoption of this accounting pronouncement to its financial statements.
Although there are several other new accounting pronouncements issued or proposed by the FASB, which the Company has adopted or will adopt, as applicable, the Company does not believe any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN
Our financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplate the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have incurred continuous losses from operations, have an accumulated deficit of $67,984,693 and a total stockholders’ deficit of $5,770,041 at April 30, 2021, and have reported negative cash flows from operations since inception. In addition, as of April 30, 2021 we did not have the cash resources to meet our operating commitments for the next twelve months. We require capital investments to implement our business plan, including the development of our planned hydrogen projects. On July 15, 2021, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) which closed on July 20, 2021, pursuant to which we issued and sold to an institutional investor in a registered direct offering 170,000 shares of our common stock, 2,575,000 warrants, and 3,580,000 pre-funded warrants. We received proceeds of $2,650,850 after deducting placement agent fees and related offering expenses, see Note 14. We have subsequently utilized approximately $560,000 of the proceeds to reduce indebtedness and intent to utilize the remaining amount for working capital purposes. Nevertheless, our ability to continue as a going concern must be considered in light of the problems, expenses and complications frequently encountered by entrance into established markets and the competitive environment in which we operate.
In addition to the SPA, we expect to continue to seek additional funding through private or public equity and debt financing.
Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to generate sufficient cash from operations to meet our cash needs and/or to raise funds to finance ongoing operations and repay debt. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in our efforts to raise additional debt or equity capital and/or that our cash generated by our operations will be adequate to meet our needs. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
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. The 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.

This convertible note was entered into on 12/27/19 in exchange for cash of $5,500 and financing fees of $5,500 and was convertible into common shares of the Company at a conversion price equal to 110% of the lowest price at which the shares of common stock were issued by the Company during the twenty prior trading days, including the day upon which a notice of conversion is received by the Company. At inception the Company identified the conversion feature of the convertible note as a derivative and estimated the fair value of the derivative using a multinomial lattice model simulation and assuming the existence of a tainted equity environment (see Note 10). On the effective date of the convertible note, the related party lender simultaneously submitted a notice to convert the total note principal into 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (10,000,000,000 shares pre-split). The conversions were not completed, and the shares were not issued, due to a lack of sufficient shares of common stock at the time the conversion was requested. During the year ended April 30, 2021 shares became available to affect a partial conversion, therefore 360,682 common shares (1,579,982,678 pre-split shares) were issued to extinguish $3,967 of the principal balance. The Company continues to accrue interest on the convertible note until they can issue all shares to satisfy the conversion request and recorded interest expense of $171 during the year ended April 30, 2021. As of April 30, 2021 and 2020 accrued interest on the convertible note was $718 and $547, respectively. |

On the effective date of the convertible note, the related party lender simultaneously submitted a notice to convert the total note principal into 909,091 shares of the Company’s common stock (9,090,909,091 shares pre-split). The conversions were not completed, and the shares were not issued, due to a lack of sufficient shares of common stock at the time the conversion was requested. The Company continues to accrue interest on the convertible note until they can issue all shares to satisfy the conversion request and recorded interest expense of $374 during the year ended April 30, 2021. As of April 30, 2021 and 2020 accrued interest on the convertible note was $374 and $0, respectively. |

NOTE 10 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES
In a series of subscription agreements, the Company issued warrants in prior years that contain certain anti-dilution provisions that have been identified as derivatives. In addition, the Company identified the conversion feature of certain convertible notes payable and convertible preferred stock as derivatives. As of April 30, 2021 and 2020, the number of warrants or common shares to be issued under these agreements is indeterminate; therefore, the Company concluded that the equity environment is tainted and all additional warrants, stock options and convertible debt are included in the value of the derivative.
The Company estimates the fair value of the derivative liabilities at the issuance date and at each subsequent reporting date, using a multinomial lattice model simulation. The model is based on a probability weighted discounted cash flow model using projections of the various potential outcomes.
During the years ended April 30, 2021 and 2020, we had the following activity in our derivative liabilities:

Key inputs and assumptions used in valuing the Company’s derivative liabilities as of April 30, 2021 are as follows:
|
|
· |
Stock prices on all measurement dates were based on the fair market value |
|
|
· |
Risk-free interest rate of 0.03% to 0.70% |
|
|
· |
The probability of future financing was estimated at 100% |
|
|
· |
Computed volatility ranging from 412.7% to 1556.1% |
These inputs are subject to significant changes from period to period and to management's judgment; therefore, the estimated fair value of the derivative liabilities will fluctuate from period to period, and the fluctuation may be material.

Warrants
The Company has issued warrants in prior years to investors in a series of subscription agreements in equity financings or for other stock-based compensation.

Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities, as well as a consideration of net operating loss and credit carry forwards, using enacted tax rates in effect for the period in which the differences are expected to impact taxable income. A valuation allowance is established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.
No provision for income taxes has been recorded due to the net operating loss carryforwards totaling approximately $16,274,000 as of April 30, 2021 that will be available to offset future taxable income. The available net operating loss carry forwards expire in various years through 2041. No tax benefit has been reported in the financial statements because the Company believes there is a 50% or greater chance the carry forwards will expire unused. There were no uncertain tax positions taken by the Company.
The deferred tax asset and valuation account is as follows at April 30:

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cut and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”). The Tax Act established new tax laws that affect 2018 and future years, including a reduction in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate to 21%, effective January 1, 2018. The reduction in the federal corporate income tax rate is reflected in the above tables.

NOTE 13 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal
On July 14, 2020, a consultant for rail services to the Company filed a complaint against the Company and its CEO Jack W Hanks, an individual, for payment of $100,000 of consulting fees. The Court Action is filed as CRU Trading Co, (“CRU”) Plaintiff, v. MMEX Resources Corp and Jack W. Hanks in the District Court of Harris, County Texas Cause No. 2020-41853/Court;165. The Company, based on consultation with legal counsel, believed the complaint was without merit and filed a verified denial and a motion to dismiss the litigation. In April of 2021 the parties agreed to settle the matter, therefore in exchange for a nonsuit of certain claims and a stay of litigation the Company agreed to pay $60,000 over a 6-month period. After paying the amount in full all parties will fully release each other from any claims related to the matter and CRU will dismiss the lawsuit.
NOTE 14 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In accordance with ASC 855-10, all subsequent events have been reported through the filing date as set forth below.
On May 20, 2021, we entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement to acquire 323.841 acres of land in, or near, Pecos County, Texas, in exchange for $242,881. Per the terms of the agreement, we remitted a non-refundable earnest money payment of $10,000 and committed to close on or before the thirtieth day after the title company issued a title commitment, or on a date mutually agreed upon. On July 8, 2021 we entered into the first amendment to the Purchase and Sale Agreement which provided for an extension of the closing date, which was to occur on or before September 15, 2021. In exchange for the extension, we remitted a non-refundable extension payment of $10,000 which is applicable to the purchase price at closing. We closed on this land purchase on July 27, 2021.
On June 22, 2021, the Company issued and delivered to GS Capital Partners, LLC (“GS”) a 10% convertible note in the principal amount of $82,000. The note was issued at a discount and the Company received net proceeds of $78,500 after payment of $3,500 of fees and expenses of the lender and its counsel. During the first 180 days, GS, at its option, may convert the unpaid principal balance of, and accrued interest on, the note into shares of common stock at a price of $0.015 per share and thereafter at 34% discount from the average of the two lowest trading prices of the Company’s common stock during the 15 prior trading days including the day upon which a notice of conversion is received by the Company. The Company may redeem the note at redemption prices ranging from 110% to 118% during the first 180 days after issuance.
On June 22, 2021 the Company executed a drawdown request of $200,000 in accordance with the terms of the February 22, 2021 promissory note with GS Capital Partners, LLC. The maturity date of the note is the earlier of (i) December 31, 2021 or (ii) the consummation by the Company of an equity or equity-based financing providing net proceeds to the Company sufficient to retire the outstanding indebtedness under the note. The note has an interest rate of ten percent per annum from the date of the drawdown.
Effective July 1, 2021, the Company amended its articles of incorporation to provide for a 1 for 10,000 reverse stock split of our common shares. As a result of the stock split the Company issued an additional 17,754 shares of common stock to account for rounding issues. The Company has given retroactive effect to the reverse stock split for all periods presented. See Note 14.
On July 15, 2021, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) with an institutional investor, pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell, in a registered direct offering 170,000 shares of our common stock and warrants exercisable for an aggregate of 2,575,000 shares of our common stock at a combined offering price of $0.80 per share. The warrants have an exercise price of $0.80 per share. Each warrant is immediately exercisable and will expire on the fifth anniversary from the issuance date. We also offered and sold to the institutional investor pre-funded warrants to purchase an aggregate of 3,580,000 shares of common stock, in lieu of shares of common stock. Each pre-funded warrant is exercisable for one share of our common stock. The purchase price of each pre-funded warrant is equal to $0.80 per share price at which common stock is sold in the offering, minus $0.0001, and the exercise price of each pre-funded warrant is $0.0001 per share. Subject to certain ownership limits, the pre-funded warrants are immediately exercisable and may be exercised at any time until all of the pre-funded warrants are exercised in full. As a result of the SPA, the Company received proceeds of $2,650,850 after deducting placement agent fees and related offering expenses.
Subsequent to April 30, 2021, the Company made a payment to its lender to extinguish a January 31, 2019 convertible notes payable with a principal balance of $91,331 that had been in default, see Note 7.
