The Corporation’s loss and comprehensive loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $1,154,482 (September 30, 2021 - $890,469). When compared to the prior period ending September 30, 2021, there was an increase in loss of $264,013. The Corporation generated net natural gas revenues of $25,267 - the first natural gas revenues generated by the Corporation since 2018. Operating costs increased by $212,391 in the nine month period ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the prior nine month period ended September 30, 2021 as a result of the costs to recommission the Ferrell Creek gas plant and the associated gathering system and wells. Further, general and administrative expenses increased by $123,224 in the nine month period ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the prior nine month period ended September 30, 2021 due to: an increase in consulting fees of $15,594; an increase in professional fees of $65,115 due to an increase in audit fees (approximately $54,000) and in legal fees (approximately $9,500); an increase in directors fees of $7,033 as a result of a modest increase in fees for committee chairs and meeting expenses; an increase of $12,967 in investor relations and filing fees mainly due to filing fees related to the Corporation's private placement completed in the period and the issuance of additional news releases by the Corporation; an increase in insurance costs of $17,325 as a result of increased premiums due to COVID-19 related concerns by insurance companies; and an increase of $5,191 attributable to office supplies, software licenses and other due largely to higher computer software license costs. In addition, share-based compensation increased by $96,160 due to stock options issued in Q3 2022 and the timing of vesting of the options. Offsetting these expense increases was by a gain on the sale of unutilized facilities of $147,750.
