Business Operations

Astra Energy is an emerging company in the waste management industry and the electricity and power generation sectors with a focus on energy production from solar, waste conversion and clean burning fuels. The Company strives to advance clean energy initiatives globally while delivering measurable benefits to communities and value to our investors by investing in and developing renewable and clean energy projects in markets where demand is high and supply is limited.

CLEAN ENERGY PROJECTS:

Astra Energy in concert with the government of Tanzania is advancing a 350MW (Megawatt) Combined Cycle Gas Power Plant project. The government of Tanzania provided a positive response to the expression of interest, and they have requested a technical proposal or Project Feasibility Report. Astra is applying for Advocacy support for this project from the US Mission in Tanzania. The Company is currently in discussions to acquire land and is looking at an existing 350MW Combined Cycle Gas Power Plant (the “Plant”).

Astra is in continuing discussions to secure both a Power Purchase Agreement and a gas supply agreement with the Tanzania Petroleum Development Corporation for the natural gas required to fuel the Plant. Once these agreements are executed, the Company will seek an equity partner for the project and debt financing to build out the project. 

Astra Energy is advancing a "Clean Energy Park" on the island of Zanzibar which includes a 42.5MW solar farm combined with a waste to energy system to convert 15 tons of municipal solid waste per hour into 7.5MW/hour of electric power and battery storage. The project will enable the island to dispose of all its garbage, thereby avoiding the need for a garbage landfill. Landfills are major generators of methane, a major greenhouse gas that is responsible for global warming. 

The Prefeasibility Report has been completed and there are continuing discussions with the island government regarding the Power Purchase Agreement to feed the power into the grid network. Over 200 acres of land has been secured by Astra on a long-term lease basis.  

The island of Zanzibar is a semi-autonomous territory of Tanzania in the Indian ocean. Electric power to the island is currently provided using two 100MW submarine cables from mainland Tanzania. These cables are now at capacity. The island wishes to have an independent power supply. Therefore, the immediate need for an additional 50MW of power in less than two years. 

POWER GENERATION TECHNOLOGY:

In October 2022, the Company entered into a Joint Venture with Holcomb Scientific Research Ltd. (“HSR”) to manufacture and distribute the innovative and patent protected Holcomb Inline Power Generator (ILPG) for homes, commercial applications, solar projects, electric vehicles, large power scale power plants, and many more applications. On September 22, 2023, Astra entered into an Exclusive Worldwide Manufacturing License Agreement with Holcomb Energy Systems. Holcomb owns a license for certain intellectual property rights licensed to it by Holcomb Scientific Research Ltd., relating to power generation, including the Holcomb Energy System In-Line Power Generator and Self-Sustaining Power Plant worldwide.  Pursuant to the Agreement, Holcomb has agreed to sublicense the intellectual property to the Company.

HSR is a Research and Development company that has created the patent-protected Holcomb Energy System, a scientific breakthrough in clean energy generation. The HES utilizes the natural energy produced by the electron spin in the iron atom, converting it into usable electricity while requiring no fuel, releasing zero carbon emissions, and having no moving parts - therefore running completely silent.

WASTE TO ENERGY TECHNOLOGY 

Regreen Technologies Inc. (“Regreen”), a related, California-based “zero emissions” clean energy company. Regreen is involved in research and development of the science of converting municipal solid waste (MSW) and organic waste into “zero emission” marketable commodities, such as clean electricity, biofuels, animal feeds, fertilizers, organic pesticides, and reclaimed water purification. 

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended November 30, 2023 Compared to the Three Months Ended November 30, 2022

Revenues

We had no revenue for the three months ended November 30, 2023 and 2022.

Operating Expenses

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses decreased to $40,335 from $48,022 for the three months ended November 30, 2023, and 2022, respectively primarily in legal expenses, transfer agent fees in general administrative costs.

Business Development

Business development expenses decreased to $153,145 from $271,941 for the three months ended November 30, 2023, and 2022, respectively primarily in travel and consulting fees. There has been delays in the projects being developed which has reduced development costs related to those projects.

Executive compensation

Executive compensation expenses decreased to $79,500 from $933,000 for the three months ended November 30, 2023, and 2022, respectively primarily due to a reduction in stock compensation for executives for services rendered.  

Stock Compensation

Stock compensation-consulting expenses decreased to $34,375 from $347,500 for the three months ended November 30, 2023, and 2022, respectively, primarily due to a reduction in stock compensation for services rendered by advisors, consultants and other non-related parties.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Currently, we have limited operating capital. Our current capital and our other existing resources will not be sufficient to provide the working capital needed for our current business. Additional capital will be required to meet our debt obligations, and to further expand our business. We may be unable to obtain the additional capital required. Our inability to generate capital or raise additional funds when required will have a negative impact on our business development and financial results.

For the three months ended November 30, 2023, we primarily funded our business operations from cash advances made to the Company by officers and directors of the Company. As of November 30, 2023, we had a working capital deficit of $1,383,894.

Cash Flow Activity

For the three months ended November 30, 2023, $9,256 was used by operations (November 30, 2022 - $456,794).

For the three months ended November 30, 2023, we received $0 (November 30, 2022 - $264,500) in financing activities.

With our current cash balance will be unable to sustain operations for the next twelve months. We need to raise additional funds by issuing new debt or equity securities or otherwise. If we fail to raise sufficient capital when needed, we will not be able to complete our business plan. We are a development stage company and have generated limited revenue to date. The future of our Company is dependent upon its ability to obtain financing and upon future profitable operations.

We estimate that our operating expenses over the next 12 months will be approximately $600,000. This estimate may change significantly depending on the ability to raise capital from shareholders or other sources.

We anticipate continuing to rely on equity sales and grants of our common stock in order to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to our existing stockholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of our equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund our planned business activities. We presently do not have any arrangements for additional financing and no potential lines of credit or sources of financing are currently available for the purpose of proceeding with our plan of operations.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

As a “smaller reporting company”, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our president and chief financial officer to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As of November 30, 2023, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our president and chief financial officer of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our president and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in providing reasonable assurance in the reliability of our corporate reporting as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report due to certain deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal controls over financial reporting and that may be considered to be material weaknesses. The material weaknesses included weaknesses in procedures for control evaluation, a lack of an audit committee, insufficient documentation of review procedures, and insufficient information technology procedures.
