SEC EDGAR, 2026-10-15: 10-Q — "substantial doubt", "material weakness"
Laredo Oil, Inc. faces going concern doubts and internal control deficiencies, leading to a restatement of prior financials.
Company: Laredo Oil, Inc. (LRDC) Filed: 2026-10-15, 10-Q (Item 4.02) Phrase: "substantial doubt" — "This situation raises substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the issuance date of these consolidated financial statements." Phrase: "material weakness" — "Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective because of a material weakness in our control over financial reporting." What the filing says: Laredo Oil, Inc. has routinely incurred losses since inception, resulting in an accumulated deficit, and there is no assurance that future financing will be available to meet its needs. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the October 15, 2026 issuance date of these financial statements. The company's management has also concluded that as of August 31, 2026, its disclosure controls and procedures are not effective due to a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting. This is attributed to a lack of full-time employees with expertise in finance and accounting, leading to insufficient segregation of duties. This material weakness resulted in the restatement of the company's financial statements for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2025. The remediation plan is to hire qualified personnel to provide adequate supervision and segregation of duties. Two ways it goes: A. The company successfully implements its plan to control costs, raise funds, and hire qualified personnel, resolving the going concern issue and material weakness. B. The company fails to secure necessary financing or address the material weakness, leading to its inability to continue as a going concern or further financial reporting issues. Next date: October 15, 2027 (one year from the issuance date of the financial statements, for the going concern assessment) Watch: Announcement of successful financing, hiring of key finance/accounting personnel, or a subsequent filing indicating resolution of the material weakness.
