9A. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure
controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed
under the Exchange Act, such as this annual report, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time period specified
in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated
and communicated to our management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management
has carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our company’s disclosure controls and procedures.
Based upon that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures
were not effective at a reasonable assurance level as of December 31, 2025.
We
do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and
procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the
disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there
are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure
controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all
our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain
assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated
goals under all potential future conditions.
As
of December 31, 2025, we conducted an evaluation, under supervision and with the participation of management, including the chief executive
officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant
to Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 of the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded
that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at a reasonable assurance level as of December 31, 2025.
Management’s
Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined under Exchange
Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 14d-14(f). Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding
the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles.
All
internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore,
even those systems determined to be effective can only provide reasonable assurance with respect to financial reporting reliability and
financial statement preparation and presentation. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject
to risk that controls become inadequate because of changes in conditions and that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures
may deteriorate.
Management
assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025. In making the assessment,
management used the criteria issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO – 2013) in Internal
Control-Integrated Framework. Based on its assessment, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2025, our Company’s internal
control over financial reporting was not effective.
The
matters involving internal controls over financial reporting that may be considered material weaknesses included the small size of the
Company and the resulting lack of segregation of duties. Specifically, the Company’s system of internal controls failed to identify
multiple journal entries that were subsequently identified by the Company’s external auditor. Additionally, multiple errors within
the Company’s draft Form 10-K were noted by the external auditor, further highlighting weakness in the control environment.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There
have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under
the Exchange Act, during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially
affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Item
9B. Other Information.
(b)
During the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2025, none of our officers or directors informed us of the adoption , modification or termination
of a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement,” as those terms are defined in
Item 408 of Regulation S-K.

Family

There
are no family relationships among our directors and executive officers. Other than as set forth above, there are no arrangements or understandings
between or among our executive officers and directors pursuant to which any director or executive officer was or is to be selected as
a director or executive officer.
Involvement
in Certain Legal Proceedings
To
our knowledge, during the last ten years, none of our directors or executive officers (including those of our subsidiaries) have:
●
had a bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at
the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time;
●
been convicted in a criminal proceeding or been subject to a pending criminal proceeding, excluding traffic violations and other minor
offenses;
●
been subject to any order, judgment or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction,
permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities or
banking activities;
●
been found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, or the Commodities
Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed,

●
been the subject of, or a party to, any sanction or order, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any self-regulatory organization,
any registered entity, or any equivalent exchange, association, entity or organization that has disciplinary authority over its members
or persons associated with a member.
Board
of Directors and Committees
Our
Board of Directors consists of seven (7) directors, including four (4) independent directors. We have also established an Audit Committee,
a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, and a Compensation Committee under the Board of Directors. We have adopted a charter
for each of the three (3) committees. Each of the committees of our Board of Directors has the composition and responsibilities described
below.
41
Board
Leadership Structure
Our
Board believes it is important to retain flexibility in allocating the responsibilities of the CEO and Chairman of the Board in any way
that is in the best interests of our Company based on the circumstances existing at a particular point in time. Accordingly, we do not
have a strict policy on whether these roles should be served independently or jointly. Currently, we do not have anyone service as Chairman
of the Board.
We
do not have a separate Lead Independent Director.
Meetings
and Committees of the Board of Directors
Our
business, property and affairs are managed under the direction of our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors provides management
oversight, helps guide the Company on strategic planning and approves the Company’s operating budgets. Our independent directors
meet regularly in executive sessions. Members of our Board are kept informed of our business through discussions with our Chief Executive
Officer and other officers and employees, by reviewing materials provided to them, by visiting our offices and by participating in meetings
of the Board and its committees.
Our
Board holds regularly scheduled quarterly meetings. In addition to the quarterly meetings, typically there is at least one other regularly
scheduled meeting and other communication each year.
Director
Independence
Our
Board of Directors has determined that Stefan Passantino, David Clukey, Nelson Garcia, and Christopher Melton, as well as Bjarne Borg,
who served as a director through February 13, 2026, do not have any relationships that would interfere with the exercise of independent
judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director and such directors are “independent” as that term is defined
under the rules of Nasdaq and Rule 10A-3, described below.
Audit
committee members must also satisfy the independence criteria set forth in Rule 10A-3 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the “Exchange Act”) subject to the transition rule that is applicable to a newly public company. In order to
be considered independent for purposes of Rule 10A-3, a member of an audit committee of a listed company may not, other than in his or
her capacity as a member of the audit committee, the Board of Directors, or any other board committee, accept, directly or indirectly,
receive any consulting, advisory, or other compensatory fee from the listed company or any of its subsidiaries or be an affiliated person
of the listed company or any of its subsidiaries.
Each
of our Board members who serve on a committee of the Board is “independent” within the meaning of Nasdaq Rule 5605(b)(1).
Controlled
Company Status
A
controlled company is a company of which more than 50% of the voting power for the election of directors is held by an individual, a
group or another company. We are a controlled company because The Basile Family Irrevocable Trust holds more than 50% of our voting power.
Therefore,
for so long as we remain a controlled company, we technically qualify and are eligible to be exempted from the obligation to comply with
certain Nasdaq corporate governance requirements, however, we do not currently plan to take advantage of the exemptions provided to controlled
companies, which include:
●
our Board of Directors is not required to be comprised of a majority of independent directors;
●
our Board of Directors is not subject to the compensation committee requirement; and
●
we are not subject to the requirements that director nominees be selected either by the independent directors or a nomination committee
comprised solely of independent directors.
The
controlled company exemptions do not apply to the audit committee requirement or the requirement for executive sessions of independent
directors. We are required to disclose in our annual report that we are a controlled company and the basis for that determination. Although
we do not currently plan to take advantage of the exemptions provided to controlled companies, we may in the future take advantage of
such exemptions.
42
Role
of the Board of Directors in Risk Oversight
The
Board of Directors is responsible for assessing the risks facing our company and considers risk in every business decision and as part
of our business strategy. The Board of Directors recognizes that it is neither possible nor prudent to eliminate all risk, and that strategic
and appropriate risk-taking is essential for us to compete in our industry and in the relevant markets, and to achieve our growth and
profitability objectives. Effective risk oversight, therefore, is an important priority of the Board of Directors.
While
the Board of Directors oversees our risk management, management is responsible for day-to-day risk management processes. Our Board of
Directors expects management to consider risk and risk management in each business decision, to proactively develop and monitor risk
management strategies and processes for day-to-day activities and to effectively implement risk management strategies that are adopted
by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors expects to review and adjust our risk management strategies at regular intervals following
the completion of the offering, or as needed.
Code
of Business Conduct
Our
Board of Directors has adopted a code of business conduct and ethics (the “Code of Business Conduct”) to ensure that our
business is conducted in a consistently legal and ethical manner. Our policies and procedures cover all major areas of professional conduct,
including employee policies, conflicts of interest, protection of confidential information, and compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
The Code of Business Conduct will be available at our website at www.jfbconstruction.net/services-4. The reference to our website address
in this annual report does not include or incorporate by reference the information on our website into this annual report. We intend
to disclose future amendments to certain provisions of our code of conduct, or waivers of these provisions, on our website or in public
filings.
Board
Committees
Our
Board of Directors has appointed an Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, and a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, and
has adopted charters for each of these committees.
Audit
Committee
The
Audit Committee consists of Christopher Melton, Stefan Passantino, and Nelson Garcia, with Christopher Melton serving as Chairman. The
Audit Committee assists the Board of Directors in discharging its responsibilities relating to the financial management of our company
and oversight of our accounting and financial reporting, our independent registered public accounting firm and its audits, our internal
financial controls and the continuous improvement of our financial policies and practices. In addition, the Audit Committee is responsible
for reviewing and discussing with management our policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management. The responsibilities of
the Audit Committee, which are set forth in its charter, include:
●
appointing, approving the compensation of, and assessing the independence of our independent registered public accounting firm;
●
pre-approving audit and permissible non-audit services, and the terms of such services, to be provided by our independent registered
public accounting firm;
●
reviewing and discussing with management and our independent registered public accounting firm our annual and quarterly financial statements
and related disclosures;
●
coordinating the oversight and reviewing the adequacy of our internal control over financial reporting;
●
establishing policies and procedures for the receipt and retention of accounting-related complaints, whistleblowers, and concerns; and
●
reviewing and approving any related party transactions.
The
composition of our Audit Committee complies with all applicable requirements of the SEC and the listing requirements of Nasdaq. We intend
to comply with future requirements to the extent they become applicable to us.
43
Compensation
Committee
The
Compensation Committee consists of Nelson Garcia, Christopher Melton, and David Clukey with Nelson Garcia serving as Chairman. The Compensation
Committee assists the Board of Directors in setting and maintaining our compensation philosophy and in discharging its responsibilities
relating to executive and other human resources hiring, assessment and compensation, and succession planning. The responsibilities of
the Compensation Committee, which are set forth in its charter, include:
●
reviewing and approving corporate goals and objectives relevant to compensation of our chief executive officer;
●
evaluating the performance of our chief executive officer in light of such corporate goals and objectives and determining the compensation
of our chief executive officer;
●
determining the compensation of all our other officers and reviewing periodically the aggregate amount of compensation payable to such
officers;
●
overseeing and making recommendations to the Board of Directors with respect to our incentive-based compensation and equity plans; and
●
reviewing and making recommendations to the Board of Directors with respect to director compensation.
The
composition of our Compensation Committee complies with all applicable requirements of the SEC and the listing requirements of Nasdaq.
We intend to comply with future requirements to the extent they become applicable to us.
Nominating
and Corporate Governance Committee
The
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee consists of David Clukey, Nelson Garcia, and Stefan Passantino, with David Clukey serving
as Chairman. The responsibilities of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, which are set forth in its charter, include:
●
making recommendations to the Board of Directors regarding the size and composition of the Board of Directors;
●
recommending qualified individuals as nominees for election as directors;
●
reviewing the appropriate skills and characteristics required of director nominees;
●
establishing and administering a periodic assessment procedure relating to the performance of the Board of Directors as a whole and its
individual members; and
●
periodically reviewing the corporate governance guidelines and supervising the management representative charged with implementing our
corporate governance procedures.
The
composition of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee complies with all applicable requirements of the SEC and the listing
requirements of Nasdaq. We intend to comply with future requirements to the extent they become applicable to us.
Compensation
Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
None
of the members of the Compensation Committee will or has at any time been an officer or employee. None of our executive officers serve
or in the past fiscal year has served as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee of any other entity that has one
or more executive officers serving as a member of our Board of Directors or expected to serve on the Compensation Committee.
Delinquent
Section 16(a) Reports
Section
16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class
of our equity securities, to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of our common stock and
other equity securities. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with
copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.
Based
solely on our review of copies of such reports furnished to us and written representations from our reporting persons, we believe that
all such filing requirements were satisfied in fiscal 2025, except that: Joseph F. Basile III filed one Form 4 late reporting a transaction
dated June 30, 2025; Ruben Calderon filed one Form 4 late reporting a transaction dated June 30, 2025; John Gulyas filed one Form 4 late
reporting a transaction dated June 30, 2025; Christopher Melton filed one Form 3 late and filed one Form 4 late reporting a transaction

reporting a transaction dated June 30, 2026; Nelson Garcia filed one Form 4 late reporting a transaction dated June 30, 2025; and on
April 9, 2026, David Clukey filed one Form 3 and one Form 4 reporting a transaction dated June 30, 2025.
44
Item
11. Executive Compensation.
This
section discusses the material components of the executive compensation program for our named executive officers for the years ended
December 31, 2025 and 2024. Individuals we refer to as our “named executive officers” include our Chief Executive Officer,
Chief Financial Officer and any other highly compensated executive officers whose salary and bonus for services rendered in all capacities
equaled or exceeded $100,000 during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Executive
Compensation Objectives and Practices
We
designed our executive officer compensation program to attract, motivate and retain key executives who drive our success. We strive to
have pay reflect our performance and align with the interests of long-term stockholders, which we achieve with compensation that:
●
Provides executives with competitive compensation that maintains a balance between cash and stock compensation, encouraging our executive
officers to act as owners with an equity stake in our company;
●
Ties a significant portion of total compensation to achievement of the Company’s business goals such as revenue, and Adjusted EBITDA
targets;
●
Enhances retention by having equity compensation subject to multi-year vesting; and
●
Does not encourage unnecessary and excessive risk taking.
We
evaluate both performance and compensation to ensure the Company maintains its ability to attract and retain superior employees in key
positions and compensation provided to key employees remains competitive relative to the compensation paid to similarly situated executives
of other companies our size.
Elements
of Executive Compensation
Our
compensation for senior executive officers generally consists of the following elements: base salary; performance-based incentive compensation
determined primarily by reference to objective financial operating criteria; long-term equity compensation in the form of stock options
and restricted stock; and employee benefits that are generally available to all our employees.
Base
Salary
The
Company provides named executive officers and other employees with base salary to compensate them for services rendered during the fiscal
year. It is our policy to set base salary levels taking into account a number of factors, such as annual revenue, the nature of the mobile
fueling business, the structure of other comparable companies’ compensation programs and the availability of compensation information.
When setting base salary levels, in a manner consistent with the objectives outlined above, the Board considers our performance, the
individual’s breadth of knowledge and performance and levels of responsibility. In determining salaries, we did not engage compensation
consultants.
Annual
Performance-Based Incentive Compensation
Our
performance-based incentive compensation program is designed to compensate executives when financial performance goals are achieved.
Executives have the opportunity to earn annual cash compensation equal to a percentage of their base salary.
Long-Term
Incentive Compensation – Equity Compensation
Our
executive officers are eligible for stock awards. We believe that stock awards give executives a significant, long-term interest in our
success, help retain key executives in a competitive market, and align executive interests with stockholder interests and long-term performance
of the Company. We have granted options as well as restricted stock under our 2022 plan and 2020 Stock Incentive Plan. Stock awards also
provide each individual with an added incentive to manage the Company from the perspective of an owner with an equity stake in the business.
Moreover, the vesting schedule (which is generally three years for employees and one year for non-employee directors, although this may
vary at the discretion of the Compensation Committee) encourages a long-term commitment to the Company by our executive officers and
other participants. Each year the Compensation Committee reviews the number of shares owned by, or subject to options held by, each executive
officer, and additional awards are considered based upon the executive’s past performance, as well as anticipated future performance,
of the executive officer. The Compensation Committee continues to believe that equity compensation should be an important element of
the Company’s compensation package.
Typically,
we have awarded stock options and restricted stock to executives upon joining the Company and thereafter grants may be at the discretion
of the Board, a role that will be assumed by our compensation committee on a going forward basis. Generally, options are priced at the
closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of each grant, or, in the case of new employees, on such later date as
the employee joins the Company. We also have granted restricted stock to members of the Board of Directors and executive officers from
time to time.
45
We
do not have a formal written policy relating to the timing of equity awards. We encourage, but we do not require, that our executive
officers own stock in the Company.

Related
Persons Transaction Policy
Prior
to December 2, 2024, we did not have a formal policy regarding approval of transactions with related parties. We adopted a related person
transaction policy on December 2, 2024 that sets forth our procedures for the identification, review, consideration and approval or ratification
of related person transactions. For purposes of our policy only, a related person transaction is a transaction, arrangement or relationship,
or any series of similar transactions, arrangements, or relationships, in which we and any related person are, were or will be participants
in which the amount involved exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or 1% of the average of our total assets at year-end. Transactions involving
compensation for services provided to us as an employee or director are not covered by this policy. A related person is any executive
officer, director, or beneficial owner of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities, including any of their immediate family
members and any entity owned or controlled by such persons.
Under
the policy, if a transaction has been identified as a related person transaction, including any transaction that was not a related person
transaction when originally consummated or any transaction that was not initially identified as a related person transaction prior to
consummation, our management must present information regarding the related person transaction to our audit committee, or, if audit committee
approval would be inappropriate, to another independent body of our board of directors, for review, consideration and approval or ratification.
The presentation must include a description of, among other things, the material facts, the interests, direct and indirect, of the related
persons, the benefits to us of the transaction and whether the transaction is on terms that are comparable to the terms available to
or from, as the case may be, an unrelated third party or to or from employees generally. Under the policy, we will collect information
that we deem reasonably necessary from each director, executive officer and, to the extent feasible, significant stockholder to enable
us to identify any existing or potential related-person transactions and to effectuate the terms of the policy. In addition, under the
Code of Business Conduct , our employees and directors will have an affirmative responsibility to disclose any transaction or relationship
that reasonably could be expected to give rise to a conflict of interest. In considering related person transactions, our audit committee,
or other independent body of our board of directors, will take into account the relevant available facts and circumstances including,
but not limited to:
●
the risks, costs and benefits to us;
●
the impact on a director’s independence in the event that the related person is a director, immediate family member of a director
or an entity with which a director is affiliated;
●
the availability of other sources for comparable services or products; and
●
the terms available to or from, as the case may be, unrelated third parties or to or from employees generally.
The
policy requires that, in determining whether to approve, ratify or reject a related person transaction, our audit committee, or other
independent body of our board of directors, must consider, in light of known circumstances, whether the transaction is in, or is not
inconsistent with, our best interests and those of our stockholders, as our audit committee, or other independent body of our board of
directors, determines in the good faith exercise of its discretion.
Item
14. Principal Accounting Fees and Services.
Based
on the Company’s evaluation and determination that M&K CPAs, PLLC (“M&K”) is independent, we have engaged such
firm as our independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2025. In making this determination, the Company is requesting
its stockholders to ratify the appointment of M&K at its next Annual Stockholder Meeting. In the event the stockholders fail to ratify
such appointment, the Audit Committee will consider in its direction to select other auditors for the subsequent year. Even if the selection
is ratified, the Audit Committee, in its discretion, may select a new independent registered public accounting firm at any time during
the year if it feels that such a change would be in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders. Representatives of M&K
will be present at the 2026 Annual Stockholders’ Meeting and will have the opportunity to make a statement and be available to
answer questions.
