Overview
NextNRG:
Powering What’s Next
NextNRG
is Powering What’s Next by implementing artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) into renewable energy, next-generation
energy infrastructure, battery storage, wireless electric vehicle (“EV”) charging and on-demand mobile fuel delivery to create
an integrated ecosystem.
At
the core of NextNRG’s strategy is its utility operating system, which leverages AI and ML to help make existing utilities’
energy management as efficient as possible, and the deployment of NextNRG smart microgrids, which utilize AI-driven energy management
alongside solar power and battery storage to enhance energy efficiency, reduce costs and improve grid resiliency. These microgrids are
designed to serve commercial properties, schools, hospitals, nursing homes, parking garages, rural and tribal lands, recreational facilities
and government properties, expanding energy accessibility.
NextNRG
continues to expand its growing fleet of fuel delivery trucks and national footprint. NextNRG is also integrating sustainable energy
solutions into its mobile fueling operations. The company hopes to be an integral part of assisting its fleet customers in their transition
to EV, supporting more efficient fuel delivery while advancing clean energy adoption. The transition process is expected to include the
deployment of NextNRG’s innovative wireless EV charging solutions.
What
is a microgrid?
In
simple terms, a microgrid is a small-scale power grid that can operate independently or collaboratively with other power grids. NextNRG’s
technology is designed to mitigate risk of utilizing renewable energy, while maximizing energy output efficiencies. NextNRG believes
that its smart microgrid technology will serve as an effective platform for integrating distributed energy resources (“DERs”)
and achieving optimal performance in reduced costs and emissions while bolstering the resilience of a city, a building, or rural communities’
electrification systems. Additionally, they achieve cost savings through peak shaving and selling excess power to off-takers.
The
microgrid, solar, and EV Charging markets in the U.S. have been growing steadily with the presence of key players engaged in research
and development to increase efficiency and decrease the cost of the components. NextNRG believes the confluence of multiple clean energy
trends creates a significant market opportunity. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (“EIA”), the U.S.
spends $400 billion on electricity each year, of which $200 billion is spent on Commercial & Industrial properties. It is expected
that an additional $98 billion of investment will be required to meet the country’s 2030 sustainability goals. Renewable energy
microgrids have proven an effective tool to help customers, expand electrical grid capabilities, gain access to electricity where it
is not easily accessible, respond to, and prepare for, natural disasters, and bring down electricity costs. Additionally, renewable energy
microgrids are a viable solution for countries who would like to scale their renewable energy production and lessen their dependence
on foreign oil supply. Finally, we believe it is necessary to rapidly increase the scale and scope of renewable generation assets in
the U.S. in order to meet the various targets and commitments set by corporations and governments.
Utility
Scale Smart Microgrid:
Additionally,
NextNRG plans to offer its proprietary AI/ML powered smart microgrid technology to utilities and other energy producers/distributors
through SaaS agreements. Next believes these customers will benefit from the Smart Microgrid technologies’ ability to:
●
Provide
real time data processing to improve overall efficiency and cost structure;
●
Continuously
optimize the system based on operational data;
●
Learn
optimal scheduling and dispatch of energy generation and storage;
●
Predict
changes in renewable energy source output and demand;
●
Integrate
renewable energy while maintaining reliability;
●
Autonomously
identify and addresses technical issues;
●
Enhance
resilience and lower electricity costs;
NextNRG
Smart Microgrid:
NextNRG
believes that through strategic deployments it should be able to build and operate solar energy systems coupled with its smart microgrid
technology (“NextNRG Smart Microgrids”), on commercial properties, schools, hospitals, nursing homes, parking garages, large
rural tracts of land, recreational facilities, tribal land, and federal, state, county, and municipal properties. The NextNRG Smart Microgrids
will help customers gain access to electricity where not otherwise available, reduce electricity bills, progress towards decarbonization
targets and support resource management needs throughout their asset lifecycles. NextNRG Smart Microgrid’s revenue generation will
primarily come from power purchase agreements (PPAs) with the diverse range of aforementioned off-takers.

Wireless
EV Charging:
Finally,
in appropriate client locations, NextNRG anticipates deploying its wireless EV charging technology, once that product is ready for deployment.
NextNRG believes that its wireless charging technology solves problems such as:
●
The
lack of charging infrastructure : Even when home-charging is taken into account, to properly match forecasted sales demand, the
United States will need to see the number of EV chargers quadruple between 2022 and 2025, and grow more than eight-fold by 2030,
according to S&P Global Mobility forecasts
●
Range
Anxiety . A fully charged vehicle can provide between 200-400 miles which causes worry, especially for long drives. With dynamic
wireless EV charging, cars can charge on the road and maintain optimal charge levels.
●
Ease
of Use . Plugging-in can be easily forgotten. Our planned system will automatically connect the vehicle and account to the charger,
streamlining the charging process and making it incredibly user-friendly.
●
Safety .
Tripping over a cable can not only cause physical injury but also damage the device and disrupt the charging process. To prevent
this we plan that our patented technology can deliver a secure connection between the vehicle and charging station, providing peace
of mind during the charging process.
●
Theft/Vandalism
of cables . The theft of copper from power lines can cause power outages and electrical fires, and with our innovative design
your EV charging experience can be worry-free from theft and vandalism.
●
Weather .
No longer need to get out of your vehicle and face uncomfortable weather conditions to charge your car.
NextNRG’s
prospective solutions are supported by seven patented technologies developed by Florida International University, exclusive licenses
to which NextNRG acquired through the purchase of Stat-EI Inc. These technologies were tested on the largest smart grid dataset in the
world. The patents target the support of two different renewable energy industry sectors - smart microgrids/Virtual power plants (“VPP”),
and wireless power transfer (“WPT”) technology, created to wirelessly charge EVs. The licenses purchased from SEI are exclusive
and worldwide.
In
an era where the demand for reliable, sustainable energy is rapidly growing, traditional power grids face challenges that necessitate
innovative solutions. AI/ML based smart Microgrids, which operate as smaller versions of the main power grid, provide a resilient and
flexible approach to energy management and distribution. With the proper technology, microgrids can operate autonomously during grid
failures and seamlessly integrate renewable energy sources, making them indispensable in today’s energy landscape. We believe that
NextNRG is at the forefront of this revolution, offering cutting-edge AI/ML based smart microgrid technology that enhances grid resiliency,
optimizes energy use, and reduces costs. These systems are designed to meet the challenges of fluctuating energy demands and supply,
ensuring consistent and efficient power delivery across various sectors.

Next
Owned Smart Microgrid:
NextNRG
believes that through strategic deployments it should be able to build and operate solar energy systems coupled with its AI/ML based
smart microgrid technology (“NextNRG Smart Microgrids”), on commercial properties, schools, hospitals, nursing homes, parking
garages, large rural tracts of land, recreational facilities, tribal land, and federal, state, county, and municipal properties. The
NextNRG Smart Microgrids will help customers gain access to electricity where not otherwise available, reduce electricity bills, progress
towards decarbonization targets and support resource management needs throughout their asset lifecycles. NextNRG expects its primary
product offering will be entering into leases or easements with building or landowners and power purchase agreements to sell the power
generated by the solar energy system to those landowners, or various commercial, utility, municipal and community solar off-takers. Additionally,
NextNRG plans to offer its proprietary AI/ML powered smart microgrid technology to utilities and other energy producers/distributors
through SaaS agreements.
The
primary challenge that the renewable sources market faces is the uncertainty around energy generation. This problem leads to system supply/demand
imbalances that can interrupt power and increase costs. NextNRG’s Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (“AI/ML”)
based patented technologies can:
●
Provide
real time data processing to improve overall efficiency and cost structure;
●
Continuously
optimize the system based on operational data;
●
Learn
optimal scheduling and dispatch of energy generation and storage;
●
Predict
changes in renewable energy source output and demand;
●
Integrate
renewable energy while maintaining reliability;
●
Autonomously
identify and address technical issues;
●
Enhance
resilience and lower electricity costs;
The
second challenge is the cost of building renewable energy microgrids. To address this challenge, NextNRG hopes to capitalize on government
incentives currently available for the deployment of renewable energy solutions. NextNRG believes its offerings will provide multiple
advantages to future customers relative to the status quo, such as:
●
Lower
electricity bills : By implementing our technology, our customers will be able to lower their cost of electricity. Solely deploying
our smart microgrid technologies can generate up to 10% savings for customers.
●
Increased
accessibility of clean electricity : Through deployment of microgrid and solar solutions NextNRG believes it should be able to
provide clean electricity to customers who otherwise would not have been able to construct on-site solar (e.g. apartment and condominium
customers). This increases the total addressable market and enables energy security for all.
●
Supporting
clean energy ecosystem : Demand for clean sources of electricity is anticipated to continue to increase. NextNRG plans to support
future customers in their continued transition to the clean energy ecosystem through its microgrid, solar and battery storage systems
as well as wireless EV charging stations. It expects that its expansion of product offerings will allow it to support even more customers
in this transition.
NextNRG
is the owner of exclusive licenses to four patented technologies which cover the development and commercialization of AI/ML based smart
microgrids and virtual power plants (“VPP”). The algorithms used to secure the patents were developed with the support and
research of Federal agencies and have been tested and proven on the infrastructure of the largest renewable energy company in the world.
Certain of the above technologies are currently deployed by a large utility for approximately six million of its customers. The combined
technologies are referred to as the NextNRG Smart Microgrid and potential products based on these technologies are explained in more
detail below.
Smart
Microgrid Controller (U.S. Patent No. 10326280)
●
The
Microgrid Controller is a pivotal component within the smart microgrid ecosystem, serving as the orchestrator of energy resources.
It efficiently manages the integration and coordination of various power sources, including solar panels, and battery storage systems.
By continuously monitoring energy production and consumption, the controller ensures optimal performance and reliability of the microgrid.
It dynamically balances supply and demand, adjusting energy flows in real-time to maintain stability and prevent outages. This intelligent
management enables seamless transitions between grid-connected and island modes, ensuring uninterrupted power supply during grid
failures.
●
The
Smart Microgrid Controller uniquely addresses customer needs to optimize renewable energy use. As smaller versions of main energy
grids, microgrids can operate in grid-connected and “island” mode as needed. For example, when severe weather affects
the energy grid, a microgrid can operate autonomously using its local energy sources to power buildings or facilities. It connects
and disconnects from the grid through a grid-forming inverter, which performs black-starts to independently restart the grid. Using
the Smart Microgrid Controller ensures that the customer is always using its best and most reliable source of energy.
6
The
RenCast Predictor (U.S. Patent No. 11022720)
●
RenCast
is a AI/ML based tool designed to enhance the efficiency and reliability of renewable energy generation within the smart microgrid.
By leveraging cutting-edge artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms, RenCast accurately forecasts the amount of energy
that will be produced from renewable sources such as solar and wind. This predictive capability allows the microgrid to forecast
and manage energy supply effectively, ensuring that energy storage and distribution are optimized. By analyzing real-time data from
weather stations, historical energy usage, and sensor inputs, RenCast minimizes uncertainties and maximizes the utilization of renewable
energy.
●
The
RenCast Predictor’s renewable energy generation forecast includes a 5-minute, 15-minute, 1-hour, or 7-day prediction with up
to 93% accuracy. The system includes weather sensors and imaging cameras. Weather parameters include wind speed, wind direction,
ambient temperature, precipitation, atmosphere turbidity, and translucency. The forecaster receives this data from a geo-satellite
feed, estimates the cloud cover, and derives the cloud shading profile. The processor receives and uses aggregation data to forecast
renewable energy generation.
●
The
RenCast Predictor uses the web service API to implement photovoltaic (“PV”)-generation forecasts into the algorithms
(e.g., economic dispatch), enabling customers to accurately plan and manage renewable energy generation.
The
Battery State of Charge (“SOC”) System (U.S. Patent No. 10969436)
Battery
storage is vital. It supports integrating and expanding renewable energy sources, such as solar power, while reducing reliance on fossil
fuels. Storing excess energy generated during periods of high renewable generation (sunny or windy) helps mitigate the reliability issues
associated with renewable power sources. This equipment can dramatically improve electrification in rural areas, on tribal lands, and
in low-income communities in-need of clean, reliable power. Battery energy storage systems provide a versatile and scalable solution
for energy storage and power management, load management, backup power, and improved power quality.
●
The
Battery SOC provides AI/ML systems to forecast SOC of the systems’ lithium-ion batteries.
●
The
system uses a multi-step forecasting process and experimentally obtained decreasing C-rate datasets and with ML to forecast the system
batteries’ SOC. The multi-step approach combines at least one univariate technique with ML techniques to forecast first C-rate,
voltage, current, and SOC percentage to the ML model and forecast the battery’s SOC using an optimizer and ML model. The parameters
from a second C-rate are collected by the battery analyzer and can be stored on the machine-readable medium to train the ML model(s)
before forecasting. The forecasted battery SOC can be displayed in operable communication with the processor, the machine-readable
medium, and the battery analyzer. This enables the customer to always be informed on the stored energy and health of each battery
in the system.
The
Portable Emergency AC Energy (“PEACE”) Controller (U.S. Patent No. 10958211)
●
The
Peace Controller is a smaller version of the smart microgrid that uses the same AI/ML technologies to provide a mobile source of
renewable power in the case of local energy interruption. The controller’s short-term goal is to provide uninterrupted clean
energy to consumers during and after natural disasters to power emergency appliances, and for daily use to reduce the energy costs.
Long-term the controllers can be scaled up as medium-to-large scale power hubs to provide grid services and network resilience.
●
During
power outages the PEACE supplier serves as a mobile power source for users with PV and/or energy storage systems. PEACE can also
provide power when users do not have sufficient solar energy for their needs. The supplier includes an inverter to create seamless
three-way connection between a PV cell or system, an energy storage unit, and the power grid. Additionally, PEACE includes a web
application that displays the location, battery SOC, power generation, local weather systems, and charts.
7
The
RenCast Predictor, the Smart Microgrid Controller, Battery SOC, and PEACE Controller can be combined to turn a renewable energy microgrid
into a “smart” system that uses AI/ML to increase the system’s efficiencies by up to 10%. Next’s smart microgrid
solution aggregates accurate estimates of future energy generation and SOC and programs the Smart Microgrid Controller to optimize the
energy use based on the customer’s needs.
HOPES
Controller (“VPP”)
●
The
HOPES controller is still under development.
●
The
HOPES controller will allow microgrids in different locations to communicate and control to facilitate VPP applications and provide
a VPP concept for grid-connected renewable energy sources.
●
The
software component will include predictive and prescriptive computation models to address and mitigate the concerns facing high-penetration
scenarios into the grid. The controller allows consumers to integrate novel computational tools for state-of-the-art renewable energy
generation forecasting, wide-area aggregation, optimize dynamic renewable hosting capacity, intelligently synchronize devices, and
dispatch on-demand. The HOPES Controller will integrate and manage small-to-large-scale renewable energy solutions across smart grids.
Additionally it will integrate renewable energies to the grid. The HOPES controller connects individual plants to build a VPP that
transfers energy between locations connected through transmission lines based on availability and demand to improve the overall system
resiliency.
The
HOPES Controller will be able to:
●
Conduct
short-term forecasting of the power generated by the renewable energy power plant.
●
Execute
a dispatch for bulk energy transfer using a hybrid energy storage module to minimize renewable energy curtailment and increase the
renewable energy hosting capacity.
●
Predict
renewable energy generation intermittencies with wide-area aggregation using a wavelet theory-based transformation model and cooperative
game theoretic modeling.
●
Conduct
predictive smart load control to effectively use renewable energy and hybrid energy modules to address critical and deferrable loads
and minimize system instabilities.
●
Support
functionalities for energy pricing and economics of the grid-connected renewable energy to ensure feasibility of intelligence and
visibility of renewable energy.
●
Work
with utility-level applications like distributed energy resource management systems and advanced distribution management systems
to optimize existing renewable energy power plants.
The
NextNRG Smart Microgrid is designed to maintain grid stability and enhance operational efficiency through advanced monitoring and control
systems. By integrating grid forming inverters and multi-level controllers, the microgrid dynamically adjusts to fluctuations in energy
demand and supply. These components work together to ensure a consistent and reliable power supply, reducing the risk of outages and
improving overall energy efficiency. The system’s real-time monitoring capabilities provide utility operators with valuable insights
into grid performance, enabling informed decision-making and proactive management.
The
two deployments of the NextNRG Smart Microgrid are expected to be in California at two healthcare facilities.
NextNRG
currently is working on a deployment on tribal land in the State of Louisiana. NextNRG is targeting tribal land is
because nearly 17,000 tribal homes are without electricity and tribal communities experience 6.5x more power outages than national average.
NextNRG
has approximately $750 Million in planned smart microgrid deployments. All of these projects are in different phases of the project
timeline. The projects vary from municipal property to Tribal land, to commercial facilities (healthcare, office space, multifamily,
and amusement parks).
8
NextNRG
believes that utility companies; microgrid companies; and renewable energy generation companies will all be able to capitalize on the
advantages of the NextNRG smart microgrid technology and therefore NextNRG plans to offer its technology to these companies under a SaaS
model.
At
each location where the NextNRG Smart Microgrid will be deployed, NextNRG plans to evaluate the possibility of deploying NextNRG’s wireless
EV charging solutions. These solutions are explained in more detail below.
Wireless
EV charging uses resonant electromagnetic induction to transmit a current, this process is also known as “inductive charging”
or “wireless power transfer” (“WPT”). Wireless charging utilizes a charging pad installed in the ground and a
similar pad installed on the bottom of a car, when the pads align, charging automatically begins.
Wireless
EV charging offers several benefits:
●
By
definition, the number one benefit of wireless EV charging is that there are no wires. EV owners do not need to carry heavy charging
cables or plug their cars in at every charging station, alleviating range anxiety.
●
EV
charging cables can become damaged over time, particularly in extreme heat and cold areas, which can be hazardous to the vehicle
and its owner. No wires mean less risk, and replacing cables is expensive, too.
●
Wireless
charging is simply more convenient, even when only available as static charging – and if and when dynamic charging becomes
a reality, it will be extremely convenient as well.
●
Wireless
charging is more efficient than a traditional plug in charger.
Wireless
Charging Parking Bumper (U.S. Patent No. 10836269B2)
NextNRG’s
primary patent covers an EV charging station, designed as a bumper which ensures proper alignment between the vehicle’s battery
charger and the charger pad in the charging station.
●
Integrated
sensors detect the vehicle’s position as it parks.
●
A
built-in radio frequency receiver identifies the vehicle through a unique code.
●
Once
the system verifies payment with a server, an internal processor activates wireless, inductive charging.
●
The
entire setup offers a seamless integration of sleek design, precise vehicle detection, and secure payment verification for efficient
charging.
●
NextNRG’s
parking bumper patent is the integration of a networked wireless charging bumper with a contactless payment system, and advanced
communication protocols and encryption methods.
NextNRG
believes its parking bumper patent is the key to commercializing wireless EV charging, the automated verification and payment system
is expected to be the most seamless way to start a charge.
NextNRG
also holds the exclusive license for three patents in the WPT space - two for the static transfer of energy and one for the dynamic transfer
of energy. The licensed WPT solutions are based on a unique analog architecture. The static solution also provides a bi-direction (grid
to vehicle and vehicle to grid) power transfer which allows a charged EV to serve as a reserve generator for the home in case of power
failure.
Bidirectional
Wireless Power Transfer (U.S. Patent No. 10637294B2)
This
patent describes a system capable of wirelessly transferring power in both directions. This technology is designed for efficient and
safe power exchange, which could be particularly useful in scenarios where power needs to be sent back to the grid during peak demand,
and/or power outages.
9
Advancements
in Inductive Power Transfer (U.S. Patent No. 9919610B1)
This
patent focuses on enhancing the capabilities of wireless power transfer systems. The improvements include increasing the efficiency of
power transfer, extending the longevity of the system and broadening its applicability across various contexts.
Wireless
EV Charging Station for Static and Dynamic Charging (U.S. Patent No. 9731614B1)
This
patent details a wireless charging station specifically designed for EVs. It has the capability to charge EVs both when they are stationary
(static) and while they are in motion (dynamic). The dynamic charging allows for continuous charging, potentially revolutionizing the
way EVs maintain battery levels.
To
date, NextNRG’s static and dynamic solutions have been designed and prototypes are being tested at 25 kwh of output in a
laboratory environment at FIU, with plans to expand the output capacity to 1 mwh and above. NextNRG expects for this static WPT
solution to automate EV charging such that drivers do not need to do anything to charge. There are no cables inside or outside of
the car. NextNRG’s static and dynamic solutions are not expected to be affected by rain, snow, ice, dust, or dirt. They will
be a clean and safe way to charge EVs.
NextNRG
expect that its static WPT systems will be bidirectional, this means that they will support connecting grid-to-vehicle (“G2V”)
and vehicle-to-grid (“V2G”). NextNRG is unaware of any other WPT system which has V2G capabilities. For homeowners who want
to deploy solar and microgrid solutions at their home, with our WPT system we expect for those homeowners to be able to utilize their
car as a battery storage system. Additionally, in emergency outage situations homeowners with our WPT system will be able to maintain
power by using our V2G capabilities.
Additionally,
through an integration with our Smart Microgrid deployments, NextNRG plans for its WPT systems to be able to integrate with the grid
to help create a resilient network to handle disaster conditions. For example, during a hurricane in areas with power outages, EVs with
V2G capability would be able to power hospitals, homes, and other critical infrastructure to create a reliable, longer lasting energy
source.
NextNRG
expects for its dynamic WPT solution to be implemented on highways and public roads so it can provide essentially unlimited range for
EVs without plugging-in or stopping for recharging. These solutions will revolutionize the future of transportation systems. NextNRG
is working with FIU to deploy the dynamic WPT solution as a pilot for use on their campus and demonstrate its capabilities.
The
microgrid, solar, and EV Charging markets in the U.S. have been growing steadily with the presence of key players engaged in research
and development to increase efficiency and decrease the cost of the components. NextNRG believes the confluence of multiple clean energy
trends creates a significant market opportunity. Renewable energy
microgrids have proven an effective tool to help customers, expand electrical grid capabilities, gain access to electricity where it
is not easily accessible, respond to, and prepare for, natural disasters, and bring down electricity costs. Additionally, renewable energy
microgrids are a viable solution for countries who would like to scale their renewable energy production and lessen their dependence
on foreign oil supply. Finally, we believe it is necessary to rapidly increase the scale and scope of renewable generation assets in
the U.S. in order to meet the various targets and commitments set by corporations and governments.

Regulatory
Although
NextNRG is not regulated as a public utility in the United States under applicable national, state or other local regulatory regimes
where it conducts business, it expects to compete primarily with regulated utilities. As a result, it has developed and is committed
to maintaining a policy team to focus on the key regulatory and legislative issues impacting the entire industry. It believes these efforts
help it better navigate local markets through relationships with key stakeholders and facilitate a deep understanding of the national
and regional policy environment.
To
operate its systems, NextNRG may need to obtain interconnection permission from the applicable local primary electric utility. Depending
on the size of the solar energy system and local law requirements, when needed interconnection permission will be provided by the local
utility directly to NextNRG and/or future customers. In almost all cases, interconnection permissions are issued on the basis of a standard
process that has been pre-approved by the local public utility commission or other regulatory body with jurisdiction over net metering
policies. As such, no additional regulatory approvals are required once interconnection permission is given.
NextNRG’s
future operations will be subject to stringent and complex federal, state and local laws, including regulations governing the occupational
health and safety of our employees and wage regulations. For example, it is subject to the requirements of the federal Occupational Safety
and Health Act, as amended (“OSH Act”), and comparable state laws that protect and regulate employee health and safety. NextNRG
endeavors to maintain compliance with applicable OSH Act and other comparable government regulations.
Government
Incentives
Federal,
state and local government bodies provide incentives to owners, distributors, system integrators and manufacturers of solar energy systems
to promote solar energy in the form of rebates, tax credits, and exclusion of solar energy systems from property tax assessments. These
incentives enable us to lower the price we charge customers for energy from, and to lease, our solar energy systems, helping to catalyze
customer acceptance of solar energy as an alternative to utility-provided power. In addition, for some investors, the acceleration of
depreciation creates a valuable tax benefit that reduces the overall cost of the solar energy system and increases the return on investment.
12
The
Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IRA”), which was passed in August 2022, substantially changed and expanded existing
federal tax benefits for renewable energy. The IRA extended the existing framework for investment tax credits (“ITC”) offered
by the federal government under Section 48(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) and provided for ITCs under Section
48E of the Code for the installation of certain eligible solar power facilities owned for business purposes. Prior to the IRA, if construction
on the facility began before January 1, 2020, the amount of the ITC available was 30%, if construction began during 2020, 2021, or 2022
the amount of the ITC available was 26%, with additional step downs in later years. Projects placed in service before January 1, 2022
are still set at 26%. However, with the enactment of the IRA, solar power facilities installed between 2022 and 2032 will receive a 30%
ITC of the cost of installed equipment for ten years so long as the facilities meet wage and apprenticeship requirements or are less
than 1 MWac, which will decrease to 26% for solar power facilities installed in 2033 and to 22% for solar power facilities installed
in 2034; and for those solar power facilities installed in 2022, the ITC has increased from 22% to 30% if the ITC has not yet been claimed.
The prevailing wage rates also must be paid for alteration and repair during the 5 years after a project is placed in service.
Pursuant
to the IRA, certain ITC projects are eligible for a 10% domestic content bonus so long as the facilities meet wage and apprenticeship
requirements, if all the steel and iron are produced in the United States and at least 40% of the facility is produced in the United
States, which domestic content percentage requirement increases for facilities that start construction after 2024 and eventually reach
55% for projects which begin construction in 2027 or later.
Pursuant
to the IRA, certain ITC projects are eligible for an additional 10% or 20% energy community bonus so long as the facilities meet wage
and apprenticeship requirements, and if the facility owner applies for and receives an environmental justice allocation from the Internal
Revenue Service (the “IRS”). Solar (and certain related storage) facilities that are less than 5 MWac that are either located
in a low-income community or on Indian land, or are part of a qualified low-income residential building project or a qualified low-income
economic benefit project qualify. For example, qualified low-income economic benefit projects can receive a 20% bonus if low-income households
receive at least one-half of the financial benefits. The IRS provided taxpayers guidance in Notice 2023-18 for determining the requirements
for allocation of the ITC bonus. The IRA also included additional incentives, including in relation to stand-alone storage and claiming
interconnection costs under the ITC in certain situations, and the ability for ITC recipients to directly transfer such ITCs.
In
addition to the incentives at the federal government, more than half of the states, and many local jurisdictions, have established property
tax incentives for renewable energy systems that include exemptions, exclusions, abatements and credits. Approximately thirty states
and the District of Columbia have adopted a renewable portfolio standard (and approximately eight other states have some voluntary goal)
that requires regulated utilities to procure a specified percentage of total electricity delivered in the state from eligible renewable
energy sources, such as solar energy systems, by a specified date. To prove compliance with such mandates, utilities must surrender solar
renewable energy credits to the applicable authority. While there are numerous federal, state and local government incentives that benefit
our business, some adverse interpretations or determinations of new and existing laws can have a negative impact on our business.
Manufacturing
and Supply
NextNRG
plans to purchase equipment, including solar panels, inverters, batteries, wireless charging station components from a variety of manufacturers
and suppliers. If one or more of the suppliers and manufacturers that NextNRG relies upon to meet anticipated demand reduces or ceases
production, it may be difficult to quickly identify and qualify alternatives on acceptable terms. In addition, equipment prices may increase
in the coming years, or not decrease at the rates it has historically experienced, due to tariffs or other factors.

Mobile
Fueling
NextNRG’s
Mobile Fueling solution offers on-demand and subscription-based fuel delivery services, catering to individual consumers, fleets, marine,
and other specialty markets. Leveraging digital technology and GPS-based systems, this service responds to the increasing preference
for home and workplace product deliveries. Particularly, our fleet services are experiencing significant growth, providing a streamlined,
efficient fueling option that allows commercial operators to optimize operations and reduce downtime. This innovation not only meets
the modern demand for convenience but also aligns with the broader shift towards more agile and responsive service models in today’s
economy.
NextNRG’s app-based platform conveniently brings
the gas station to customers with a growing fleet of Mobile Fueling Trucks. NextNRG’s business verticals align to the high-use,
high demand cases in vehicle operations. These are; individual CONSUMERS, COMMERCIAL entities and SPECIALTY vehicle markets.
For
CONSUMERS, NextNRG services individual “consumer” customers directly at their residences or places of work. In
the consumer vertical, NextNRG customers sign-up for NextNRG services individually, or as part of an employer which offers discounted
NextNRG services to their employees as an employee benefit while at work at offices, in office parks or on-job locations. Fuel deliveries
are completed at optimal times during the day for ‘at work’ customers or at night for residential deliveries.
In
the COMMERCIAL vertical, NextNRG provides vital fuel delivery services to commercial fleets of delivery trucks, rental cars,
livery operators, and job sites. Deliveries for the commercial vertical are completed during down-times, when the majority of commercial
vehicles are at designated locations. This method also allows NextNRG to complete multiple fills at once, while providing the commercial
customers the benefit of a fleet of fueled vehicles ready for operations on any given morning.
In
the SPECIALTY vertical, NextNRG adapts to each market based on the type of vehicles that can benefit from “at location”
fuel delivery. In NextNRG’s home market, Florida, their “specialty” vertical services hundreds of boat owners at
their homes or at marinas at which they are docked. NextNRG’s specialty market also includes equipment rental companies, construction
job sites, agricultural operations, motorsports events and recreational vehicle grounds.
NextNRG
Model – Resolving Pain Points in the Consumer and Commercial Fuel Customer Markets
NextNRG’s
experience in this market indicates that the legacy gas station model is ripe for disruption specifically by a model which works to address
major issues with the status of the industry, such as:
●
Convenience.
People find going to the gas station inconvenient and time consuming. Leaving the house a little late in the morning on an empty
tank means arriving late to the office or stopping for gas on your way home after a long day is inconvenient. This number does not
include the time it takes to drive to and from the gas station. Our solution saves our customers valuable time and shaves time off
our customers’ commutes to and from work. Our Mobile Fueling Truck brings a convenient fueling solution that is disrupting
the current industry by saving our customers valuable time and helping them to avoid the stress of not having a full tank of gas.
14
●
Fleet
Driver Expense. When fleet managers send their vehicles to the gas station to fill up, they are paying for: (i) the driver to
take the vehicle to the gas station; (ii) the gas the vehicle consumes on the way to and from the gas station; (iii) wear and tear
on the vehicle being driven to the gas station; and (iv) indirectly the downtime for the vehicle being driven to the gas station,
which usually will be during the regular working day due to the fact that an employee must take the vehicle there. When fleet managers
use NextNRG, we fill up the vehicles after hours so there is no downtime during the regular working day.
●
Fleet
Driver Fraud. 2025 studies show that U.S. commercial fleets lose 15-25% of their fuel budget to theft, fraud, or unauthorized
usage annually. With fuel often accounting for approximately 25% of total operating costs, even modest leaks quickly become major
losses. NextNRG’s solution tackles fraud head on by taking the drivers out of the equation. NextNRG brings the fuel directly
to our customers’ fleets and reduces the risk of driver related fuel fraud.
●
Safety
Concerns. Gas stations have a reputation of being unsafe locations. This reputation developed due to the many robberies and assaults
that occur at gas stations. According to FBI crime data, 2% of all violent crimes occurred at gas stations.
Violent crimes such as robberies and assaults are commonplace at gas stations because often, customers need to exit their vehicles
in remote and secluded areas, at late hours, with improper lighting and security at the location. NextNRG’s Mobile Fueling
Trucks address these safety issues by bringing the fuel to the consumer, who, from the comfort of their home or office can order
a fill-up via our app without even going outdoors. The customer simply needs to place the order and leave the gas tank access open
on their vehicle.
●
Fraud
Concerns. Gas stations are hubs for fraud issues. These issues primarily emanate from gas stations employing mostly old-fashioned
magnetic strip credit card readers. Gas stations experience hundreds of millions of dollars in credit card fraud annually. NextNRG’s platform does not store any customer credit card
data and uses the latest in credit card processing technology to verify cards and secure customers’ payments to ensure authenticity
of purchases.
●
Addressing
Environmental Concerns. We can never eliminate our environmental exposure completely. However, by delivering fuel to areas with
high vehicle density, we are lowering the environmental impact by reducing the number of separate trips our customers make to refuel
their vehicles. Since NextNRG sources direct from oil companies on a daily basis, we have a very high turnover of inventory and do
not store our fuel in underground tanks. All our tanks go through a rigorous annual inspection, plus they are visually inspected
before and after every shift to ensure proper fuel storage and no loss of vapors. A rapid turnover of inventory and daily tank inspections
are not available for underground tanks used by retail gas stations.
●
Sanitary and Touchless. According to a study
conducted by the Kymberly Clark Group, the gas station pump handle is the dirtiest surface Americans touch on their way to work. Also,
according to a recent study conducted by busbudy.com, gas station pumps have 11,000 times more bacteria than the common household toilet
seat, while pump station buttons contain 15,000 times more. In addition to being germ and bacteria infested, a recent article by njtvonline.org
highlighted the near impossibility of social distancing at self-service gas stations, further exacerbating the health risks of going to
the gas station.

Mobile
Fueling Product Offerings
We
provide fuel delivery via our fleet of trucks in Florida, Texas, California, Arizona, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Michigan. Our goal is
to service all our customers across all our lines of business at predictable locations during vehicle downtimes. Our fleet currently
includes 145 trucks that we utilize to deliver fuel directly to our customers. We have three major lines of business and to
our knowledge we are the only company in the space which fuels all three verticals :
1.
SERVICING CONSUMERS AT HOME AND AT WORK
We
offer residential fueling services to customers who can request a fuel delivery through our app and have fuel delivered directly to their
vehicle, from the comfort of their home or apartment building , while they go about their night. We offer convenient weekly schedules
to our residential customers, so they can live with the comfort of knowing that they will never be without a full tank of gas when they
need it. Additionally, our competitive pricing keeps our residential customers from having to travel out of their neighborhood for lower
gas prices. Our residential customers currently pay a delivery fee of $6.99 for each delivery or they have the option to pay $14.99 per
month for unlimited deliveries. We may increase these prices in the future. We currently offer delivery to residential customers in Miami-Dade,
Broward, and Palm Beach counties. Our service is a great new amenity for condominiums, which has been widely used by residents of the
buildings we service and has been enhancing residents’ experience.
Through
entering agreements with local and national businesses, we work directly with businesses human resource departments to offer employee
perks, and fuel employees’ cars while they are working . This is a creative benefit for employers to offer, enabling their employees
to have their cars filled, stress free. Additionally, we work directly with the landlords of corporate office parks to bring the amenity
of NextNRG to their tenants. Our corporate employee fueling is currently done at competitive prices with no delivery fee. Our corporate
office park solution offers benefits to employers and NextNRG. Benefits to employers include: (i) a new perk to offer their employees;
and (ii) happier employees who do not have to waste precious time going to the gas station. Benefits to NextNRG include: (i) multiple
deliveries at one location creates efficiencies and cuts operating costs; (ii) the employers serve as “influencers” which
reduces our marketing costs for each location; and (iii) push-marketing by the employers also results in more residential consumer fills.
2.
SERVICING COMMERCIAL ENTITIES
We
partner with and offer national and local businesses who operate fleets an alternative solution for fueling their fleet to reduce the
businesses operational costs and improve fleet efficiency. Our solution for fleets helps businesses: (i) save money spent on expensive
gas stations; (ii) save money on paying employees to go to gas stations; (iii) eliminate unnecessary wear and tear to Company fleet vehicles
on trips to the gas station; (iv) better monitor their fuel consumption; (v) eliminate employee mistakes (putting regular gas into a
diesel engine); and (vi) prevent theft by employees (customers have reported instances where it was months before they realized their
employee was making unauthorized charges on their fleet card).
16
3.
SERVICING SPECIALTY MARKETS
NextNRG
delivers fuel directly to other, market-specific personal and commercial vehicles and tanks. In our home market, the prevalence of boats
and boat owners was the first specialty market we developed, particular to the south Florida area which is the base of our services.
Marina fuel stations are some of the highest priced in the country. We offer low prices and pre-scheduling so our marine customers can
get affordable fuel whenever they need it. The same is true for the markets which we have targeted to enter. In these markets we find
similar, market-specific vehicles which our future customers use for; construction or agricultural purposes, personal or recreational
vehicle use, or sporting events where a large concentration of vehicles can be serviced at specific locations.
Customers
In
addition to our individual, residential customers, we also have structured relationships with property management companies and builders
who co-market our services as a benefit to their residents and allow our trucks to enter their communities to fill vehicle owners at
their single family homes, condominiums or apartments.
Our
commercial vertical has serviced the fleets for many national and local businesses, such as a leading national delivery company, a leading
national grocer, a leading OEM, as well as a leading equipment rental company.
In
our specialty market vertical, we service hundreds of boats at various marinas across Miami-Dade and Broward Counties, as well as boats
at customers’ homes. We are a preferred delivery partner for a mobile application with thousands of boat-owner users.
Software
Systems, IT, User Interface and Experience
Our
software systems provide us with logistical and cost saving efficiencies that allow us to forecast the need for truckloads of fuel to
effectively service clusters of customers in a specific area or zip code. At the front end of our system, we employ an app-based approach
that provides all our customers with an easy-to-engage user interface and ordering system. Customers are able to select the times and
locations of their on-demand or routinely scheduled fills and manage their account on their mobile device or desktop system.
17
In
the back end of our system, we aggregate customer orders based on their location and expected gallon demand for their vehicles. The aggregation
of customer orders based on these variables triggers a truckload fill of one of our mobile tankers designated for each of the customer
orders our system generates.
Our
software and IT systems have been developed and customized in-house to provide cost-saving efficiencies which produce higher margins
than traditional gas station fuel margins.
We
are planning to expand our software capabilities using AI and machine learning algorithms that will, among other things, automatically
generate outbound “fill reminder” communications to customers based on their recorded usage amounts and time intervals.

Mobile
Fueling Market Opportunity
Information
provided by Statista indicates that there were an estimated 298 million registered cars in the United States in 2025.
According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, in 2023 the U.S. used approximately 375 million gallons of fuel per
day. NextNRG wants to take advantage of the growing number of U.S. drivers by
bringing the gas directly to the consumers. We feel that our service solves many problems posed by the
legacy gas station. NextNRG’s mobile fueling solution presents a new way for Americans to get gas: at home, at the office, wherever, on demand.
The
on-demand market continues to grow. On-demand companies are operating and growing in the:
●
Trucking

Services
NextNRG
believes that the on-demand market will continue to grow and this growth will benefit its fuel delivery model.
We
believe our market opportunity is to expand into major metropolitan statistical areas (“MSAs”) across the continental U.S.
with sufficient concentration of business and residential customers. We want to be in locations where people rely heavily on their personal
cars to get places.
19
As
we expand to a new market, we plan to employ a strategy that has helped us build a strong base of business in our existing market. The
strategy we developed begins with sales in our fleet category to build a base of business in the target city, while developing and strengthening
our delivery operations. Next, after launch, we secure corporate and landlord agreements to allow us to begin marketing our services
to their employees and tenants. These agreements include fueling at large office parks during daytime hours and fueling at residential
buildings during nighttime hours.
We
generate business through establishing corporate and landlord partnerships, we then leverage companies’ internal communication
channels to market directly to their employees or residential tenants. By implementing our digital marketing campaigns as well as placement
of our content throughout residential and corporate facilities, we are able to develop greater brand awareness. We coordinate with our
partners to set up organic marketing efforts with our brand ambassadors to help increase recognition and assist users with downloading
the app and setting up their accounts.
Competition
Our mobile fuel delivery service competes with other local fuel delivery companies and gas stations. We differentiate ourselves
by allowing our customers to request our service via a mobile app and delivering the fuel directly to the end user. We use our innovative
technology and excellent concierge service to offer convenient fueling solutions to all our vertical markets at different times of the
day to maximize the efficiency of each mobile fueling truck. To our knowledge, there are no significant mobile fueling competitors in
the markets we currently serve.
We
distinguish ourselves from our competitors by:
●
Prioritizing
our customers’ experience and satisfaction;
●
Streamlining
our customers ordering experience;
●
Rigorously
vetting and training our drivers;
●
Providing
the latest in scheduling, GPS technology, and payment systems;

in the new corporate form and the prior members of Next Charging remained as shareholders of Next Holding.
On June 11, 2024, in order to reflect the Conversion,
the Company, all of the shareholders of Next Holding and Mr. Farkas as the representative of the Next Holding executed a second amended
and restated agreement to replace the Exchange Agreement in its entirety (the “Second Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement”).
Pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement, the Company agreed to acquire from the Next Holding 100% of the shares
of Next Holding in exchange for the issuance by the Company to the Next Holding shareholders of Company common stock.
On September 25, 2024, the Company and Mr. Farkas
entered into the second amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement (“Second Amendment”) to change the
number of the Company’s common stock shares to be issued to the Next Holding shareholders by the Company in exchange for 100% of
the shares of Next Holding to 100,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.
The Second Amendment also provided that in the event
Next Holding completes the acquisition of STAT-EI, Inc. (“SEI” or “STAT”), prior to the closing, then 50,000,000
shares will vest on the closing date, and the remaining 50,000,000 shares will be subject to vesting or forfeiture (such shares subject
to vesting or forfeiture, the “Restricted Shares”). Next Holding completed the acquisition of SEI on January 19, 2024, and
thus 50,000,000 vested on that closing date. The remaining 50,000,000 restricted shares are subject to vesting or forfeiture. 25,000,000
of the 50,000,000 restricted shares will vest, if at all, upon the Company commercially deploying the third solar, wireless electric vehicle
charging, microgrid, and/or battery storage system (such systems as more specifically defined under the Second Amended and Restated Exchange
Agreement, as amended) and 25,000,000 of the 50,000,000 Restricted Shares will vest, if at all, upon the Company either reaching annual
revenues exceeding $100 million, the Company completing projects with deployment costs greater than $100 million, or the Company completing
a capital raise greater than $25 million.
21
Prior
to closing, the Company (i) increased the number of its authorized shares of common stock from 50,000,000 to 500,000,000, (ii) received
stockholder approval, (iii) received third-party consents, and (iv) ensured compliance with the rules and regulations of The Nasdaq Stock
Market.
On February 13, 2025, the closing of the transactions
contemplated by the Second Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement, as amended, was completed. Pursuant to the terms of the Second Amended
and Restated Exchange Agreement, as amended, the Company issued an aggregate of 100,000,000 shares of common stock in exchange for all
of the issued and outstanding common stock of Next Holding, and Next Holding became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
On February 13, 2025, the Company changed its name
from EzFill Holdings, Inc. to NextNRG, Inc.

Promissory
Note, dated as of December 26, 2024.
On
December 26, 2024, the Company and Gad International Ltd. (the “Lender”) entered into a promissory note (the “Gad Note”)
for the sum of $2,500,000 (the “Loan”) to be used for the Company’s working capital needs, including without limitation
the purchase of equipment. Unless the Gad Note is otherwise accelerated or extended in accordance with the terms and conditions therein,
the balance of the Gad Note, along with accrued interest, will be due and payable in full on February 23, 2025. Further, the Company
agreed among other things to pay the Lender a commitment fee of $400,000 in consideration of the Loan, and an optional extension fee
of $200,000 for any month or part thereof in which the Company requests an additional 30-day extension to the Loan, upon the Lender’s
written consent. If any amount payable under the Loan is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, or otherwise,
such overdue amount will bear interest at a rate of 21%. Additionally, the Company agreed to execute an irrevocable transfer instruction
with its transfer agent to issue $5,000,000 worth of shares of Company common stock to the Lender if the Gad Note is not repaid on or
before February 23, 2025. However, pursuant to an amendment to the Gad Note, dated January 15, 2025, between the Company and the Lender,
no shares of the Company can be issued without the Company first receiving shareholder approval. The Company has commenced the process
of obtaining shareholder approval and once the shareholder approval process is completed and the Company is authorized to issue the shares,
the Company will issue the shares. The Company shall take no action to impair, hinder or impede either the approval process or the issuance
of the shares in the event they become owed to Lender. Such shares of common stock will be valued based on the Nasdaq official closing
price for the Company’s common stock as of date of the issuance of the Gad Note. The note was extended to March 23, 2025, and in
exchange for the extension of the maturity date, the Company paid a fee of $200,000. The note was paid in full on March 26, 2025.
Promissory
Note, dated as of December 30, 2024 .
On
December 30, 2024, the Company and NextNRG entered into a promissory note (the “December 30 Note”) for the sum of $330,000
to be used for the Company’s working capital needs, including without limitation the purchase of equipment. The unpaid principal
balance of the December 30 Note has a fixed rate of interest of 8% per annum. Unless the December 30 Note is otherwise accelerated or
extended in accordance with the terms and conditions therein, the balance of the December 30 Note, along with accrued interest, will
be due and payable in full on December 30, 2025. If the Company defaults on the December 30 Note, the unpaid principal and interest sums,
along with all other amounts payable, multiplied by 150% will be immediately due. Upon default, NextNRG will have the right to convert
all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal, interest, penalties, and all other amounts under the December 30 Note into fully
paid and non-assessable shares of the Company’s common stock. The conversion price shall equal the greater of the average VWAP
over the five trading day period prior to the conversion date; or $0.70 (the “Floor Price”). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the conversion price shall not exceed the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market on the date
of the December 30 Note. The Company and NextNRG have agreed that the total cumulative number of common stock issued to Next under the
December 30 Note, together with all other transaction documents may not exceed the requirements of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d) (“Nasdaq
19.99% Cap”), except that such limitation will not apply following shareholder approval. If the Company is unable to obtain shareholder
approval to issue common stock to NextNRG in excess of the Nasdaq 19.99% Cap, then any remaining outstanding balance of the December
30 Note must be repaid in cash at the request of NextNRG. The December 30 Note contains a protection for NextNRG in the event the Company
effectuates a split of its common stock. In the event of a stock split, if the December 30 Note is issued and outstanding and has not
been converted, then the number of shares and the price for any conversion under the December 30 Note will be adjusted by the same ratios
or multipliers of any such subdivision, split, reverse split.
Michael
Farkas is the chief executive officer of NextNRG and is the beneficial holder of approximately 48.7% of the Company’s outstanding
shares of common stock.

not in compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The notification has no immediate
effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company has 180 calendar days, or until
September 14, 2026, in which to regain compliance. If at any time during this period the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock
is at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, compliance will be restored. If the Company fails to regain
compliance within the initial 180-day period, it may be eligible for an additional 180-day compliance period, subject to meeting applicable
listing standards, which may include effecting a reverse stock split to cure the deficiency. There can be no assurance that the Company
will be able to regain compliance within the applicable period.
Leviston Resources Financing — April 2026. On
April 1, 2026, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Leviston Resources, LLC (“Leviston”) pursuant to
which the Company issued a senior secured convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $1,724,444 (the “Leviston Note”)
for a purchase price of $1,552,000, reflecting an original issue discount of $172,444. As additional consideration, the Company issued
243,300 shares of common stock to Leviston on April 1, 2026. The Leviston Note bears interest at 10% per annum with interest guaranteed
for the full six-month term regardless of any prepayment or conversion, and matures on October 1, 2026. The Leviston Note is a senior
secured obligation of the Company, secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all of the Company’s assets, including
100% of the equity interests in the Company’s directly-owned subsidiaries. The Leviston Note is convertible into shares of common stock
only upon and following an Event of Default, at a conversion price equal to 80% of the average of the three lowest daily VWAP figures
during the 15 trading days preceding the conversion date, subject to a floor price of $0.10 per share, and subject to an equity blocker
of 4.99% (extendable to 9.99%) and a hard cap of 19.99% of outstanding shares under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d). The Company may prepay
the Leviston Note at any time prior to October 1, 2026; provided that prepayment after 60 days from issuance requires payment of 110%
of the outstanding balance plus all guaranteed interest for the full six-month term. Upon an Event of Default, all outstanding obligations
automatically increase to 150% of the then-outstanding balance and accrue default interest at the lesser of 18% per annum or the maximum
rate permitted by law. Leviston also received rollover and piggyback registration rights, right of participation and right of first refusal
in future financing transactions through the later of October 1, 2027 or full repayment of the Leviston Note, and most favored nation
rights for so long as any obligations remain outstanding.
Cashera Business Loan — April 2026. On April 7, 2026, the Company and Cashera Private Credit Inc. (“Cashera”)
entered into a Business Loan and Security Agreement pursuant to which Cashera provided a term loan of $750,000 to the Company. The Company
received net disbursement proceeds of $712,500 after a $37,500 origination fee. The total repayment obligation is $1,050,000, representing
$300,000 in total interest, and is repaid in 24 weekly installments of $43,750 beginning immediately following disbursement, with a maturity
date of October 1, 2026 and an annual percentage rate of approximately 173.06%. The Cashera loan is secured by a first-priority security
interest in substantially all of the Company’s assets, personally guaranteed by Mr. Farkas, and cross-guaranteed by NextNRG Ops LLC, a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The agreement prohibits the Company from incurring additional debt without Cashera’s prior written
consent, with a $75,000 stacking fee per occurrence for any violation of this covenant. Upon an event of default, Cashera may accelerate
all obligations, charge a 25% default fee on the outstanding balance, take possession of collateral, and file a confession of judgment
in the State of Utah .
Employees
As
of April 15, 2026, we had a total of approximately 177 employees, all of whom were full-time. None of our employees are covered
by a collective bargaining agreement, and we consider our relations with our employees to be good.
26
Item
1A. Risk Factors
Any
investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below as well as other
information provided to you in this document, including information in the section of this document entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding
Forward Looking Statements.”
Our
business, financial condition or operating results could be materially adversely affected by any of these risks. In such case, the trading
price of our common stock could decline, and our stockholders may lose all or part of their investment in our securities.
Risks
Related to Our Business
We
will require substantial additional capital to support our operations and growth plans, and such capital may not be available on terms
acceptable to us, if at all. This could hamper our growth and adversely affect our business.
Revenues
generated from our operations are not presently sufficient to sustain our operations and our current liabilities substantially exceeded
our current assets as of December 31, 2025. Therefore, we will need to raise additional capital in the future to continue our operations.
We
anticipate that our principal sources of liquidity will only be sufficient to fund our activities through April 30, 2026. In order to
have sufficient cash to fund our operations beyond April 30, 2026, we will need to raise additional equity or debt capital.
There
can be no assurance that additional funds will be available when needed from any source or, if available, will be available on terms
that are acceptable to us. We will be required to pursue sources of additional capital through various means, including debt or equity
financings. Future financings through equity investments are likely to be dilutive to existing stockholders. Also, the terms of securities
we may issue in future capital transactions may be more favorable for new investors. Newly issued securities may include preferences,
superior voting rights, the issuance of warrants or other derivative securities, and the issuances of incentive awards under equity employee
incentive plans, which may have additional dilutive effects. Further, we may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital and/or
financing, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, printing and distribution expenses and other costs. We may
also be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities we may issue, such as convertible notes and warrants,
which will adversely impact our financial condition. Our ability to obtain needed financing may be impaired by such factors as the capital
markets and our history of losses, which could impact the availability or cost of future financings. If the amount of capital we are
able to raise from financing activities, together with our revenues from operations, is not sufficient to satisfy our capital needs,
even to the extent that we reduce our operations accordingly, we may be required to curtail or cease operations.
Uncertain
geopolitical conditions and trade policies could adversely affect our results of operations.
Uncertain
and rapidly evolving geopolitical conditions, including ongoing armed conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine, heightened tensions in
the Strait of Hormuz through which approximately 20 million barrels per day of crude oil transit, expanded sanctions regimes, and the
imposition of new tariffs and trade restrictions, may cause demand for our products and services to be volatile, cause abrupt changes
in our customers’ buying patterns, and interrupt our ability to supply products or limit customers’ access to financial resources
and ability to satisfy obligations to us. In particular, U.S. tariff rates have reached their highest levels since World War II, reshaping
global trade flows and increasing costs across the energy supply chain. Retaliatory tariffs imposed by trading partners, potential further
escalation of trade disputes, and supply chain disruptions resulting from geopolitical realignment could increase our cost of goods,
reduce the availability of critical equipment and parts for our fleet and infrastructure, and negatively impact customer demand. Specifically,
terrorist attacks, the outbreak or escalation of war, the existence of international hostilities, or the imposition of broad-based trade
restrictions could damage the world economy, adversely affect the availability of and demand for crude oil and petroleum products, adversely
affect both the price of our fuel and our ability to obtain fuel, and disrupt global supply chains upon which we and our suppliers depend.
27
Changes
in U.S. trade policy, including tariffs and export controls, could increase our costs and disrupt our supply chain.
The
imposition of significant tariffs on imported goods, including steel, aluminum, electronic components, and other materials used in our
fuel delivery fleet, EV charging equipment, and smart microgrid infrastructure, has increased and may continue to increase our capital
and operating costs. U.S. tariff rates have reached historically elevated levels, and retaliatory measures by trading partners have created
uncertainty across global supply chains. These trade disruptions have contributed to delays in and, in some cases, abandonment of renewable
energy projects industry-wide. NextNRG’s smart microgrid and wireless charging hardware may rely on components sourced from countries
subject to tariffs or export controls, and any further escalation of trade restrictions could increase hardware costs, delay product
development timelines, and reduce the cost competitiveness of our offerings. Additionally, trade policy uncertainty may reduce business
and investor confidence in the energy sector, which could adversely affect our ability to raise capital on favorable terms. We cannot
predict the scope, duration, or ultimate impact of current or future trade policies on our business, financial condition, or results
of operations.
Operating
and litigation risks may not be covered by insurance.
Our
operations are subject to all of the operating hazards and risks normally incidental to handling, storing, transporting and otherwise
providing combustible liquids such as gasoline for use by consumers. These risks could result in substantial losses due to personal injury
and/or loss of life, and severe damage to and destruction of property and equipment arising from explosions and other catastrophic events,
including acts of terrorism. Additionally, environmental contamination could result in future legal proceedings. There can be no assurance
that our insurance coverage will be adequate to protect us from all material expenses related to pending and future claims or that such
levels of insurance would be available in the future at economical prices. Moreover, defense and settlement costs may be substantial,
even with respect to claims and investigations that have no merit. If we cannot resolve these matters favorably, our business, financial
condition, results of operations and future prospects may be materially adversely affected.
Changes
in climate change laws, regulations, and federal energy policy, and the market response to these changes, may negatively impact our operations.
The
regulatory landscape governing greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions and alternative energy is subject to significant and rapid
change. While some states have adopted laws and regulations limiting GHG emissions for certain industry sectors, federal energy policy
has shifted meaningfully. Executive Order 14154, “Unleashing American Energy,” signed in January 2025, directed federal agencies
to pause certain grant program disbursements under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (“IIJA”) and the Inflation
Reduction Act (“IRA”) pending program reviews. In addition, federal clean vehicle tax credits under Sections 25E, 30D, and
45W of the Internal Revenue Code were repealed for vehicles acquired after September 30, 2025, and the Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling
Property Tax Credit under Section 30C was repealed for chargers placed in service after June 30, 2026. Proposed rules would also roll
back fuel economy standards to model year 2022 levels. These policy reversals could reduce consumer incentives to adopt EVs and alternative
fuels, which may adversely affect NextNRG’s addressable market while simultaneously reducing pressure on traditional fuel demand.
Conversely, future administrations or state-level action may reimpose or strengthen GHG regulations, which could impose significant additional
compliance costs on us, our suppliers, and our customers. Mandatory reporting by our customers and suppliers could have an effect on
our operations or financial condition. The unpredictability of the regulatory environment makes long-term planning difficult and could
have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Our
auditors have included an explanatory paragraph in their opinion regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. If we are unable
to continue as a going concern, our securities will have little or no value.
M&K
CPA’s, PLLC, our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, has included an explanatory
paragraph in their opinion that accompanies our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025,
indicating that our current liquidity position raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If we are unable
to improve our liquidity position, we may not be able to continue as a going concern.
We
anticipate that we will continue to generate operating losses and use cash in operations through the foreseeable future. As further set
forth above, we anticipate that we will need significant additional capital by April 30, 2026, or we may be required to curtail or cease
operations.
28
The
reduction or elimination of federal incentive programs for EV charging and clean energy infrastructure could adversely affect NextNRG’s
growth prospects.
NextNRG’s
business plan has been developed, in part, with the expectation that federal and state incentive programs would support the deployment
of EV charging infrastructure and distributed energy systems. In 2025, the federal government repealed clean vehicle tax credits under
Sections 25E, 30D, and 45W of the Internal Revenue Code for vehicles acquired after September 30, 2025, and enacted the repeal of the
Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Tax Credit under Section 30C for property placed in service after June 30, 2026. Additionally,
the Federal Highway Administration rescinded all previously released guidance for the National EV Infrastructure (“NEVI”)
formula grant program and suspended state plan approvals, with the President’s fiscal year 2026 budget proposing to cancel $6 billion
in IIJA funds for EV charger programs. The loss of these incentive programs may reduce consumer and commercial demand for EV charging
solutions, slow the deployment of charging infrastructure nationally, and make NextNRG’s products and services less economically
attractive to potential customers. There can be no assurance that replacement incentive programs will be adopted at the federal or state
level, or that any such programs will be available on terms favorable to our business.
If
we are unable to protect our information technology systems against service interruption, misappropriation of data, or breaches of security
resulting from cyber security attacks or other events, or we encounter other unforeseen difficulties in the operation of our information
technology systems, our operations could be disrupted, our business and reputation may suffer, and our internal controls could be adversely
affected.
In
the ordinary course of business, we rely on information technology systems, including the Internet and third-party hosted services, to
support a variety of business processes and activities and to store sensitive data, including (i) intellectual property, (ii) our proprietary
business information and that of our suppliers and business partners, (iii) personally identifiable information of our customers and
employees, and (iv) data with respect to invoicing and the collection of payments, accounting, procurement, and supply chain activities.
In addition, we rely on our information technology systems to process financial information and results of operations for internal reporting
purposes and to comply with financial reporting, legal, and tax requirements. Despite our security measures, our information technology
systems may be vulnerable to attacks by hackers or breached due to employee error, malfeasance, sabotage, or other disruptions. A loss
of our information technology systems, or temporary interruptions in the operation of our information technology systems, misappropriation
of data, or breaches of security could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and
reputation.
Moreover,
the efficient execution of our business is dependent upon the proper functioning of our internal systems. Any significant failure or
malfunction of this information technology system may result in disruptions of our operations. Our results of operations could be adversely
affected if we encounter unforeseen problems with respect to the operation of this system.
NextNRG’s
smart microgrid and connected charging infrastructure may be vulnerable to cybersecurity threats that could disrupt operations and expose
the Company to liability.
NextNRG’s
smart microgrid platform involves networked energy management systems, IoT-connected devices, and bidirectional communication with the
electrical grid. These connected systems present an expanded attack surface for cyber threats, including unauthorized access to grid-connected
infrastructure, manipulation of energy management algorithms, ransomware attacks on charging networks, and data breaches involving customer
information. A successful cyberattack on NextNRG’s microgrid or charging infrastructure could result in physical damage to connected
equipment, disruption of energy services, grid instability in affected areas, regulatory penalties, and significant reputational harm.
Evolving cybersecurity regulations applicable to critical infrastructure and grid-connected systems may impose additional compliance
costs. There can be no assurance that NextNRG’s cybersecurity measures will be sufficient to prevent all attacks or that the Company
will not incur material costs in responding to security incidents.
High
fuel prices can lead to customer conservation and attrition, resulting in reduced demand for our product.
Prices
for fuel are subject to volatile fluctuations in response to changes in supply and other market conditions. During periods of high fuel
costs our prices generally increase. High prices can lead to customer conservation and attrition, resulting in reduced demand for our
product.
29
Low
fuel prices may also result in less demand for our product.
Low
fuel prices may lead to us being unable to attract customers due to the fact that we charge a delivery price that may make our pricing
less competitive.
Changes
in commodity market prices may have a negative effect on our gross margin.
Our
current fuel supplier agreements set terms and establish formulas based on Oil Price Information Service (“OPIS”) pricing
as of the time of wholesale acquisition, and we do not store inventory. OPIS is a leading source for worldwide petroleum pricing. There
is a mark-up for retail fuel prices above wholesale cost, per standard practice in the retail fuel distribution model. Cost of goods
sold includes direct labor, including drivers. Our gross margin as a percentage of revenue decreases as a result of increase in fuel
costs.
The
decline of the retail fuel market may impact our potential to get new customers.
The
retail gasoline industry has been declining over the past several years, with no or modest growth or decline in total demand foreseen
in the next several years. Accordingly, we expect that year-to-year industry volumes will be principally affected by weather patterns.
Therefore, our ability to grow within the industry is dependent on our ability to acquire other retail distributors and to achieve internal
growth, which includes the success of our sales and marketing programs designed to attract and retain customers. Any failure to retain
and grow our customer base would have an adverse effect on our results.
Competition
in the fuel delivery industry may negatively impact our operations.
We
compete with other mobile fuel delivery companies nationwide. There is little to no barrier to entry and therefore, our competition in
the industry may grow. Our ability to compete in our current markets and expand to new markets may be negatively impacted by our competitors’
successes. Additionally, fuel competes with other sources of energy, some of which are less costly on an equivalent energy basis. In
addition, we cannot predict the effect that the development of alternative energy sources might have on our operations. We compete for
customers against suppliers of electricity. Electricity is becoming a competitor of fuel. The convenience and efficiency of electricity
make it an attractive energy source for vehicle drivers. The expansion of the EV industry may have a negative impact on our customer
base.
Our
trucks transport hazardous flammable fuel, which may cause environmental damage and liability to us.
Due
to the hazardous nature and flammability of our product, we face the risk of a simple accident causing serious damage to life and property.
Additionally, a spill of our product may result in environmental damage, the liability for which our Company may not be able to overcome.
If we are involved in a spill, leak, fire, explosion or other accident involving hazardous substances or if there are releases of fuel
or fuel products we own or are transporting, our operations could be disrupted and we could be subject to material liabilities, such
as the cost of investigating and remediating contaminated properties or claims by customers, employees or others who may have been injured,
or whose property may have been damaged. These liabilities, to the extent not covered by insurance, could have a material adverse effect
on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Some environmental laws impose strict liability, which means we could
have liability without regard to whether we were negligent or at fault.
In
addition, compliance with existing and future environmental laws regulating fuel storage terminals, fuel delivery vessels and/or storage
tanks that we own or operate may require significant capital expenditures and increased operating and maintenance costs. The remediation
and other costs required to clean up or treat contaminated sites could be substantial and may not be covered by insurance.
Our
cash flow and net income may decrease if we are forced to comply with new governmental regulation surrounding the transportation of fuel.
We
are subject to various federal, state, and local safety, health, transportation, and environmental laws and regulations governing the
storage, distribution, and transportation of fuel. It is possible we will incur increased costs as a result of complying with new safety,
health, transportation and environmental regulations and such costs will reduce our net income. It is also possible that material environmental
liabilities will be incurred, including those relating to claims for damages to property and persons.
30
Our
current dependence on only a few fuel suppliers increases our risk of an interruption in fuel supply, impacting our operations.
Although
we are in the process of establishing other sources, we currently purchase almost all of our fuel needs from four principal suppliers
in the markets in which we operate; as such, if fuel from these sources was interrupted, the cost of procuring replacement fuel and transporting
that fuel from alternative locations might be materially higher and, at least on a short-term basis, our earnings could be negatively
affected. This supplier is also a shareholder in the Company.
Our
profitability is subject to fuel pricing and inventory risk.
The
retail fuel business is a “margin-based” business in which gross profits are dependent upon the excess of the sales price
over the fuel supply costs. Fuel is a commodity, and, as such, its unit price is subject to volatile fluctuations in response to changes
in supply or other market conditions. We have no control over supplies, commodity prices or market conditions. Consequently, the unit
price of the fuel that we and other marketers purchase can change rapidly over a short period of time, including daily.
Loss
of a major customer could result in a decrease in our future sales and earnings.
In
any given quarter or year, sales of our products may be concentrated in a few major customers. We anticipate that a limited number of
customers in any given period may account for a substantial portion of our total net revenue for the foreseeable future. The business
risks associated with this concentration, including increased credit risks for these and other customers and the possibility of related
bad debt write-offs, could negatively affect our margins and profits. Additionally, the Company does not have any long-term agreements
with its customers. All customer agreements are cancelable at any time by either party and as such there cannot be any assurance that
any customer will continue to use the Company’s services. The loss of a major customer, whether through competition or consolidation,
or a termination in sales to any major customer, could result in a decrease of our future sales and earnings.
We
operate in an industry that is often subject to very strict laws, regulations and oversight.
Our
industry has very strict laws and codes that must be complied with. We are subject to oversight, including audits, in existing or future
areas of operation. If we cannot comply with the Code, or County, State or Federal rules and regulations or the laws, rules and regulations
or oversight in areas in which we currently operate or may seek to operate, we could lose the ability to service those areas and our
earnings could be affected.
NextNRG’s
renewable energy business has a very limited operating history, which makes it difficult to evaluate its business and prospects.
NextNRG
has a very limited operating history, which makes it difficult to evaluate its business and prospects or forecast its future results.
NextNRG is subject to the same risks and uncertainties frequently encountered by new companies in rapidly evolving markets. NextNRG’s
business strategy centers on its smart microgrid platform and wireless EV charging technology, both of which remain in early stages of
commercialization and face significant technical, regulatory, and market adoption risks. Smart microgrids involve the integration of
distributed energy resources, energy storage systems, and intelligent load management, which are subject to complex and evolving interconnection
standards, utility regulations, and grid reliability requirements enforced by entities such as state public utility commissions and the
North American Electric Reliability Corporation (“NERC”). Failure to comply with applicable grid interconnection and reliability
standards could result in substantial fines, delays in deployment, or inability to operate in certain jurisdictions. NextNRG’s
financial results in any given quarter can be influenced by numerous factors, many of which it is unable to predict or are outside of
its control, including:
●
the market’s acceptance of NextNRG’s smart microgrid
platform, including the willingness of utilities, commercial property owners, and municipalities to integrate distributed energy and
microgrid solutions into existing grid infrastructure;
●
the pace of development and adoption of industry standards
for smart microgrid interoperability, vehicle-to-grid (“V2G”) integration, and wireless charging protocols;
●
the market’s acceptance of NextNRG’s wireless charging
technology, including technical challenges related to charging efficiency, alignment tolerances, and cost competitiveness with conventional
wired charging;
31
●
the limited range over which EVs may be driven on a single
battery charge and concerns about running out of power while in use;
●
concerns regarding the stability of the electrical grid, particularly
as increased EV charging loads and microgrid deployments may stress local distribution infrastructure;
●
improvements in the fuel economy of the internal combustion
engine;
●
the environmental consciousness of consumers;
●
volatility in the cost of oil and gasoline;
●
consumers’ perceptions of the dependency of the United
States on oil from unstable or hostile countries and the impact of international conflicts;
●
government regulations and economic incentives promoting fuel
efficiency, distributed energy resources, and alternate forms of energy;
●
the reduction or elimination of federal tax credits and grant
programs supporting EV charging infrastructure and clean energy deployment, including the repeal of Sections 25E, 30D, 45W, and the scheduled
repeal of Section 30C of the Internal Revenue Code, and the suspension of NEVI formula grant disbursements; and
●
the availability of tax and other governmental incentives to
purchase and deploy NextNRG’s smart microgrid and wireless charging technology.
To
date, NextNRG has not achieved profitability, and may never become profitable.
NextNRG
has incurred net losses since inception and may not be able to achieve or maintain profitability in the future. NextNRG’s expenses
will likely increase in the future as it develops and launches its products, expands into new markets, increases its sales and marketing
efforts and continues to invest in technology. These efforts to grow its business may be more costly than NextNRG expects and may not
result in increased revenue or growth in its business. NextNRG will likely be required to make significant capital investments and incur
recurring or new costs, and its investments (if any) may not generate sufficient returns and its results of operations, financial condition
and liquidity may be adversely affected. Any failure to increase revenues sufficiently to keep pace with such investments and other expenses
could prevent NextNRG from achieving or maintaining profitability or positive cash flow on a consistent basis or at all. If NextNRG is
unable to successfully address these risks and challenges as it encounters them, its business, financial condition, results of operations
and prospects could be adversely affected. If it is unable to generate adequate revenue growth and manage expenses, NextNRG may continue
to incur net losses in the future, which may be substantial, and it may never be able to achieve or maintain profitability. NextNRG also
expects its costs and expenses to increase in future periods, which could negatively affect future results of operations if revenues
do not increase. In particular, NextNRG intends to continue to expend significant funds to further develop its technology. Furthermore,
if NextNRG’s future growth and operating performance fail to meet investor or analyst expectations, or if it has future negative
cash flow or losses resulting from investment in technology or expanding operations, this could have a material adverse effect on its
business, financial condition and results of operations.
32
The
market for NextNRG’s platform and services may not be as large as NextNRG believes it to be.
We
believe the market for our values-aligned platform is substantial, but it is still relatively new, and it is uncertain to what extent
or how widespread market acceptance of our platform will be or how long such acceptance, if achieved, may be sustained. Our success will
depend on the willingness of people to widely adopt the NextNRG experience, values and the products and services that we offer through
our platform. If the public does not perceive our products and services sold through our platform to be beneficial, or chooses not to
adopt them as a result of concerns regarding privacy, accessibility, or for other reasons, including an unwillingness to confirm that
they respect our five core values or as a result of negative incidents or experiences they encounter through our platform, or instead
opt to use alternatives to our platform, then the market for our platform may not continue to grow, may grow slower than we expect, or
may not achieve the growth potential we expect, any of which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and
results of operations.
NextNRG
has limited experience with respect to determining the optimal prices and pricing structures for its products and services, which may
impact its financial results.
NextNRG
expects that it may need to change its pricing model from time to time, including as a result of competition, global economic conditions,
changes in product mix or pricing studies. Similarly, as NextNRG introduces new products and services, it may have difficulty determining
the appropriate price structure for future products and services, including because we may pursue business lines or enter markets in
which NextNRG’s current management team has limited prior experience. In addition, as new and existing competitors introduce new
products or services that compete with NextNRG’s, or revise their pricing structures, it may be unable to attract new customers
at the same price or based on the same pricing model as it has used historically. As a result, NextNRG may be required from time to time
to revise its pricing structure or reduce prices, which could adversely affect its business, operating results, and financial condition.
NextNRG
is in a highly competitive EV charging services industry and there can be no assurance that it will be able to compete with many of its
competitors which are larger and have greater financial resources.
NextNRG
faces strong competition from competitors in the EV charging services industry, including competitors who could duplicate its model.
Many of these competitors may have substantially greater financial, marketing and development resources and other capabilities than NextNRG.
In addition, there are very few barriers to entry into the market for its services. There can be no assurance, therefore, that any of
NextNRG’s current and future competitors, many of whom may have far greater resources, will not independently develop services
that are substantially equivalent or superior to its services. Additionally, there is no guarantee that NextNRG’s wireless EV charging
solutions will be accepted by the market.
NextNRG’s
competitors may be able to provide customers with different or greater capabilities or benefits than it can provide in areas such as
technical qualifications, past contract performance, geographic presence and driver price. Further, many of its competitors may be able
to utilize substantially greater resources and economies of scale to develop competing products and technologies, divert sales away from
NextNRG by winning broader contracts or hire away our employees by offering more lucrative compensation packages. In the event that the
market for EV charging stations expands, NextNRG expects that competition will intensify as additional competitors enter the market and
current competitors expand their product lines. In order to secure contracts successfully when competing with larger, well-financed companies,
NextNRG may be forced to agree to contractual terms that provide for lower aggregate payments to it over the life of the contract, which
could adversely affect its margins. NextNRG’s failure to compete effectively with respect to any of these or other factors could
have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition or operating results.
NextNRG
also faces competition in the smart microgrid space from established energy technology companies, utilities developing their own distributed
energy programs, and well-funded startups with competing microgrid and vehicle-to-grid platforms. Many of these competitors have existing
relationships with utilities and grid operators, established track records of regulatory compliance, and greater technical resources.
The evolving nature of standards for microgrid interoperability and wireless charging means that competitors who achieve earlier standardization
or certification may gain a significant first-mover advantage that NextNRG may be unable to overcome.
33
NextNRG’s
revenue growth ultimately depends on consumers’ willingness to adopt EVs with wireless charging capabilities in a market which
is still in its early stages.
NextNRG’s
growth is highly dependent upon the adoption by consumers of EVs, and it is subject to a risk of any reduced demand for EVs. If the market
for EVs does not gain broader market acceptance or develops slower than expected, NextNRG’s business, prospects, financial condition
and operating results will be harmed. The market for alternative fuel vehicles is relatively new, rapidly evolving, characterized by
rapidly changing technologies, price competition, additional competitors, evolving government regulation and industry standards, frequent
new vehicle announcements, long development cycles for EV original equipment manufacturers, and changing consumer demands and behaviors.
Factors that may influence the purchase and use of alternative fuel vehicles, specifically EVs, include:
●
perceptions about EV quality, safety (in particular with respect
to lithium-ion battery packs), design, performance and cost, especially if adverse events or accidents occur that are linked to the quality
or safety of EVs;
●
the limited range over which EVs may be driven on a single
battery charge and concerns about running out of power while in use;
●
concerns regarding the stability of the electrical grid;
●
improvements in the fuel economy of the internal combustion
engine;
●
consumers’ desire and ability to purchase a luxury automobile
or one that is perceived as exclusive;
●
the environmental consciousness of consumers;
●
volatility in the cost of oil and gasoline;
●
consumers’ perceptions of the dependency of the United
States on oil from unstable or hostile countries and the impact of international conflicts;
●
government regulations and economic incentives promoting fuel
efficiency and alternate forms of energy;
●
access to charging stations, standardization of EV charging
systems and consumers’ perceptions about convenience and cost to charge an EV; and
●
the availability of tax and other governmental incentives to
purchase and operate EVs or future regulation requiring increased use of nonpolluting vehicles.
The
influence of any of the factors described above may negatively impact the widespread consumer adoption of EVs, which would materially
and adversely affect NextNRG’s business, operating results, financial condition and prospects.
In
addition, NextNRG’s smart microgrid solutions depend on favorable regulatory treatment of distributed energy resources and the
willingness of electric utilities to support bidirectional power flows and microgrid interconnection. Regulatory frameworks governing
vehicle-to-grid integration are still emerging, and there can be no assurance that utilities or regulators will adopt standards or rate
structures that support NextNRG’s business model. Changes in net metering policies, demand response program structures, or interconnection
requirements could materially limit the addressable market for NextNRG’s smart microgrid platform. Furthermore, the elimination
or reduction of federal incentive programs, as described above, may reduce consumer and commercial demand for EV charging infrastructure,
directly impacting demand for NextNRG’s integrated microgrid and charging solutions.
Risks
Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock
Our
stock price is expected to fluctuate significantly.
Our
common stock is listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “NXXT.” There can be no assurance that an active trading
market for our shares will be sustained. The market price of shares of our common stock could be subject to wide fluctuations in response
to many risk factors listed in this section, and others beyond our control, including:
●
actual
or anticipated fluctuations in our financial condition and operating results;
34
●
geopolitical
developments affecting supply and demand for oil and gas and an increase or decrease in the price of fuel;
●
actual
or anticipated changes in our growth rate relative to our competitors;
●
competition
from existing companies in the space or new competitors that may emerge;
●
issuance
of new or updated research or reports by securities analysts;
●
fluctuations
in the valuation of companies perceived by investors to be comparable to us;
●
share
price and volume fluctuations attributable to inconsistent trading volume levels of our shares;
●
additions
or departures of key management or technology personnel;
●
disputes
or other developments related to proprietary rights, including intellectual property, litigation matters, and our ability to obtain
patent protection for our technologies;
●
announcement
or expectation of additional debt or equity financing efforts;
●
sales
of our common stock by us, our insiders or our other stockholders; and
●
general
economic and market conditions.
These
and other market and industry factors may cause the market price and demand for our common stock to fluctuate substantially, regardless
of our actual operating performance, which may limit or prevent investors from readily selling their shares of common stock and may otherwise
negatively affect the liquidity of our common stock. In addition, the stock market in general has experienced extreme price and volume
fluctuations that have often been unrelated to or disproportionate to the operating performance of the Company.
A
significant percentage of the Company’s common stock is held by a small number of shareholders.
As
of April 15, 2026, Mr. Farkas, our Chief Executive Officer and Executive Chairman, controls approximately 48.70% of our outstanding
common stock, and our officers and directors collectively own approximately 48.95% of our outstanding common stock. As a result, these
shareholders are able to influence the outcome of shareholder votes on various matters, including the election of directors and extraordinary
corporate transactions, including business combinations. In addition, the conversion of existing convertible notes, occurrence of sales
of a large number of shares of our common stock, or the perception that these conversions or sales could occur, may affect our stock
price and could impair our ability to obtain capital through an offering of equity securities. Furthermore, the current ratios of ownership
of our common stock reduce the public float and liquidity of our common stock, which can in turn affect the market price of our common
stock.

Our
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation includes an exclusive forum provision that identifies the Court of Chancery of the
State of Delaware as the exclusive forum for certain litigation, including any derivative actions, which could limit our stockholders’
ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us, our directors, officers or employees.
Our
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum,
the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought
on behalf of the Company; (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee
of the Company to the Company or the Company’s stockholders; (iii) any action asserting a claim against the Company arising pursuant
to any provision of the General Corporation Law of Delaware, the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the
Company; or (iv) any action asserting a claim against the Company governed by the internal affairs doctrine. To the extent that any such
claims may be based upon federal law claims, Section 27 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, creates exclusive federal
jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder.
Furthermore, Section 22 of the Securities Act provides for concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought
to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder, and as such, the exclusive jurisdiction
clauses of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation would not apply to such suits. The choice of forum provisions in our
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it
finds favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers or other employees, which may discourage such lawsuits against us and
our directors, officers and other employees. By agreeing to these provisions, however, stockholders will not be deemed to have waived
our compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. Furthermore, the enforceability of similar
choice of forum provisions in other companies’ certificates of incorporation and bylaws has been challenged in legal proceedings,
and it is possible that a court could find these types of provisions to be inapplicable or unenforceable. If a court were to find the
choice of forum provisions in our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation” to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an
action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect our
business and financial condition.
We
have never paid dividends on our capital stock, and we do not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future. Consequently,
any gains from an investment in our common stock will likely depend on whether the price of our common stock increases.
We
have not paid dividends on any of our classes of capital stock to date and we currently intend to retain our future earnings, if any,
to fund the development and growth of our business. In addition, the terms of any future indebtedness we may incur could preclude us
from paying dividends. As a result, capital appreciation, if any, of our common stock will be your sole source of gain from an investment
in our common stock for the foreseeable future. Consequently, in the foreseeable future, you will likely only experience a gain from
your investment in our common stock if the price of our common stock increases.
If
we fail to comply with the continued listing requirements of NASDAQ, we would face possible delisting, which would result in a limited
public market for our shares and make obtaining future debt or equity financing more difficult for us.
If
we are unable to achieve and maintain compliance with such listing standards or other Nasdaq listing requirements in the future, we could
be subject to suspension and delisting proceedings. A delisting of our common stock and our inability to list on another national securities
market could negatively impact us by: (i) reducing the liquidity and market price of our common stock; (ii) reducing the number of investors
willing to hold or acquire our common stock, which could negatively impact our ability to raise equity financing; (iii) limiting our
ability to use certain registration statements to offer and sell freely tradable securities, thereby limiting our ability to access the
public capital markets; and (iv) impairing our ability to provide equity incentives to our employees.
We
have elected to take advantage of specified reduced disclosure requirements applicable to an “emerging growth company” under
the JOBS Act, the information that we provide to stockholders may be different than they might receive from other public companies.
As
a company with less than $1 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” under
the JOBS Act. As an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise
applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include:
●
only
two years of audited financial statements in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements with correspondingly
reduced “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure;
●
reduced
disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements;
36
●
no
non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements; and
●
exemption
from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting and delaying the adoption
of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards
apply to private companies.
We
have elected to take advantage of the above-referenced exemptions and we may take advantage of these exemptions for up to five years
or such earlier time that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company if we have more
than $1 billion in annual revenues, we have more than $700 million in market value of our stock held by non-affiliates, or we issue more
than $1 billion of non-convertible debt over a three-year period. We may choose to take advantage of some but not all of these reduced
burdens.
Additional
stock offerings in the future may dilute your percentage ownership of our company.
Given
our plans and expectations that we may need additional capital and personnel, we may need to issue additional shares of common stock
or securities convertible or exercisable for shares of common stock, including convertible preferred stock, notes, stock options or warrants.
The issuance of additional securities in the future will dilute the percentage ownership of then current stockholders.
The
Company is a “controlled company” within the meaning of the applicable rules of Nasdaq and, as a result, we qualify for exemptions
from certain corporate governance requirements. If the Company relies on these exemptions, its stockholders will not have the same protections
afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to such requirements.
The
Company is currently a “controlled company” within the meaning of the applicable rules of Nasdaq. Mr. Farkas, our Chief Executive
Officer and Executive Chairman, is the holder and the beneficial owner of approximately 48.70% of the Company’s
common stock and therefore controls a majority of the voting power of the Company’s outstanding common stock and accordingly, he
has the ability to determine all matters requiring approval by stockholders. As a result, we qualify for exemptions from certain corporate
governance requirements. If the Company relies on these exemptions, which it does not intend to do, its stockholders will not have the
same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to such requirements. Under these rules, a company of which more
than 50% of the voting power for the election of directors is held by an individual, group or another company is a “controlled
company” and may elect not to comply with certain corporate governance requirements, including the requirements:
●
that
a majority of the board consists of independent directors;
●
for
an annual performance evaluation of the nominating and corporate governance and compensation committees;
●
that
the controlled company has a nominating and corporate governance committee that is composed entirely of independent directors with
a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities; and
●
that
the controlled company has a compensation committee that is composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing
the committee’s purpose and responsibility.
While
the Company does not intend to rely on these exemptions, the Company may use these exemptions now or in the future. As a result, the
Company’s stockholders may not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all of the Nasdaq
corporate governance requirements.

3. Legal Proceedings
NEXT/INGLE
HOLDINGS, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and NEXT NRG OPS, LLC, f/k/a NEXTNRG, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company
v. GSPP HOLDCO III, LLC, a New York limited liability company and GREEN STREET POWER PARTNERS, LLC, a New York limited liability company,
currently pending in the United States District Court Southern District of New York, Case No. 1:25-cv-9836
This
litigation was filed by the Company’s subsidiary NEXT/INGLE HOLDINGS, LLC (“Next/Ingle”)and NEXT NRG OPS, LLC, f/k/a
NEXTNRG, LLC (together with Next/Ingle, the “Next Plaintiffs”), alleging that the Next Plaintiffs purchased 100% of a project
company from Green Street Power Partners, LLC (“GSPP”) and its affiliate for approximately $4.1 million to acquire the development
rights for a solar and battery energy storage project located in Ingle, Florida. The transaction was premised on the understanding that
the project would support a viable power purchase agreement with JEA, the community-owned electric utility serving Jacksonville, Florida
(“JEA”), at a rate of approximately $49/MW, and that the project could connect to JEA’s infrastructure through existing
easements for a “gen-tie” line. The Next Plaintiffs allege that defendants made and repeated these representations in the
parties’ Letter of Intent (“LOI”) and Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (“MIPA”), while contractually
restricting the Next Plaintiffs from contacting JEA directly and agreeing to keep the Next Plaintiffs updated regarding communications
with JEA. The Next Plaintiffs further allege that defendants failed to disclose that, prior to closing, JEA had informed defendants that
the proposed $49/MW pricing would not be acceptable, that JEA would not permit the project to utilize its easements for the proposed
gen-tie line, and that new resource planning was underway, all of which allegedly undermined the feasibility and value of the project.
According to the Next Plaintiffs, these facts were discovered only after closing when the Next Plaintiffs contacted JEA directly. The
Next Plaintiffs thereafter demanded indemnification and reimbursement, which defendants allegedly refused, and the Next Plaintiffs commenced
this action asserting claims for breach of the LOI, breach of the MIPA, fraud in the inducement, breach of the implied covenant of good
faith and fair dealing, negligent misrepresentation, unjust enrichment, breach of fiduciary duty, and rescission, seeking damages including
the return of the approximately $4.1 million paid, together with attorneys’ fees, interest, and punitive damages.
This
matter is currently in its early stages and the pleadings have not yet closed. Defendants have filed a Motion to Dismiss, which has been
fully briefed and is scheduled for oral argument on April 9, 2026[PW1] . The Next Plaintiffs intend to vigorously prosecute the action
and will also consider a negotiated resolution to the extent any settlement reasonably compensates the Next Plaintiffs for the losses
alleged to have been caused by defendants’ conduct. In the Complaint, the Next Plaintiffs seek damages of approximately $4.1 million,
although the amount of damages claimed may fluctuate depending upon the evidence developed during discovery and any expert analysis relating
thereto. Discovery has not yet commenced, and expert analysis concerning the nature and extent of the damages alleged in the Complaint
has not yet been undertaken. Any estimate of potential damages will be further developed during the discovery process and with the assistance
of qualified experts.

GLOBAL ENERGY LLC, a Delaware limited liability company v. NEXT/INGLE HOLDINGS LLC, Delaware limited liability company, and MICHAEL D.
FARKAS, individually, currently pending in the Circuit Court of the 11th Judicial Circuit in and for Miami-Dade County, Florida, Case
Number 2025-024817-CA-01
This
litigation alleges that on December 16, 2024, Next/Ingle executed a $5,000,000 promissory note in favor of the plaintiff lender, with
repayment due by March 31, 2025 or upon receipt of project financing, and the borrower’s obligations were personally guaranteed
by the guarantor, the Company’s CEO Michael D. Farkas, under an unconditional guaranty. Plaintiff filed suit asserting claims for
breach of the promissory note against the borrower and breach of the guaranty against the guarantor. This matter is currently in its
early stages. Next/Ingle has filed an Answer and Affirmative Defenses, and the pleadings are now closed. Among other defenses, Next/Ingle
asserts that the loan underlying the action may be invalid due to alleged criminal usury. The parties have also begun engaging in informal
settlement discussions. Next/Ingle intends to vigorously pursue its asserted defenses and any potential recovery arising therefrom, but
it remains too early in the proceedings to meaningfully evaluate the ultimate outcome of the matter. Discovery has not yet commenced
and expert analysis concerning the nature and extent of any potential damages has not yet been undertaken. Accordingly, any estimate
of potential damages or exposure may fluctuate depending upon the evidence developed during discovery and any expert analysis relating
thereto.
In
addition, from time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business.
Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and adverse results in matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business.
As of the date of this Annual Report, we believe that there are no other claims against us which we believe will result in a material
adverse effect on our business or financial condition.

7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The
following discussion and analysis summarizes the significant factors affecting the consolidated operating results, financial condition,
liquidity and cash flows of our Company as of and for the periods presented below. The following discussion and analysis of our financial
condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included
in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and the audited financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025
and the related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Unless the context requires
otherwise, references in this Annual Report on Form 10-K to “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to NextNRG,
Inc.
Overview
We
were incorporated under the laws of Delaware in March 2019. We are in the business of operating mobile fueling trucks and are headquartered
in Miami, Florida. NextNRG provides its customers with the ability to have fuel delivered to their vehicles (cars, boats, trucks) without
leaving their home or office and to construction sites, generators and reserve tanks.
Our
mobile fueling solution gives our fleet, consumer and other customers the ability to fuel their vehicles with the touch of an app or
regularly scheduled service, and without the inconvenience of going to the gas station.
Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
Management’s
discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which
were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of these consolidated
financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions for the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses.
Our estimates are based on our historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances,
the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent
from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, and those differences may
be material.
While
our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of
the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this annual report, we believe the following discussion addresses our most
critical accounting policies, which are those that are most important to our financial condition and results of operations and which
require our most difficult, subjective and complex judgments.
Principles
of Consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned
subsidiaries. The Company consolidates entities where it has a controlling financial interest, as defined by the Financial Accounting
Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, “Consolidation”.
41
In
accordance with ASC 810-10, consolidation applies to:
●
Entities
with more than 50% voting interest, unless control is not with the Company; and
●
Variable
interest entities (“VIEs”), where the Company is the primary beneficiary, possessing both (i) power over significant
activities and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits.
All
intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation per ASC 810-10-45. The Company continuously evaluates its investments
and relationships to assess consolidation requirements.
Business
Combinations, Asset Acquisitions, and Reverse Acquisitions
The
Company accounts for acquisitions in accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations,” and applicable SEC reporting requirements
under Regulation S-X, Rule 3-05 and Regulation S-K, Items 101 and 303. Transactions qualifying as business combinations are accounted
for under the acquisition method, while those classified as asset acquisitions follow the guidance in ASC 805-50. Additionally, the Company
evaluates whether a transaction qualifies as a reverse acquisition under ASC 805-40 and applies the appropriate accounting and disclosure
requirements.
Business
Combinations
For
transactions classified as business combinations, the Company:
●
Recognizes
and measures identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and noncontrolling interests at their fair values at the acquisition
date (ASC 805-20-25-1).
●
Records
goodwill as the excess of the fair value of consideration transferred over the fair value of net assets acquired, including any previously
held equity interests (ASC 805-30-30-1).
●
Expenses
acquisition-related costs as incurred, per ASC 805-10-25-23.
●
Uses
preliminary purchase price allocations, with adjustments permitted within the measurement period (not exceeding one year) per ASC
805-10-25-13. Adjustments beyond the measurement period are recorded in earnings.
Significant
judgments in fair value determinations include:
●
Intangible
asset valuations, based on estimates of future cash flows and discount rates.
●
Useful
life assessments, impacting amortization and financial results.
●
Contingent
consideration, which is remeasured at fair value through earnings per ASC 805-30-35-1.
For
SEC registrants, Regulation S-X, Rule 3-05 may require audited financial statements of the acquired business if the acquisition is significant.
The determination of significance follows Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X, which considers investment, asset, and income tests.
Asset
Acquisitions
For
transactions classified as asset acquisitions under ASC 805-50, the Company:
●
Applies
the “screen test” to determine whether substantially all of the fair value of gross assets acquired is concentrated in
a single identifiable asset or group of similar assets (ASC 805-10-55-3A).
●
Allocates
the purchase price using a cost accumulation model, assigning costs to acquired assets based on their relative fair values (ASC 805-50-30-3).
●
Capitalizes
direct acquisition costs as part of the asset’s cost, unlike business combinations where such costs are expensed (ASC 805-50-25-1).
42
The
classification between business combinations and asset acquisitions requires significant judgment, particularly when applying the screen
test. Incorrect classification can materially impact:
●
The
recognition of goodwill (only in business combinations).
●
The
measurement and presentation of acquired assets and assumed liabilities.
●
The
Company’s financial position and results of operations.
Reverse
Acquisitions
A
reverse acquisition occurs when the entity that issues securities (the legal acquirer) is identified as the accounting acquiree, and
the entity whose equity interests are acquired (the legal acquiree) is identified as the accounting acquirer under ASC 805-40, “Reverse
Acquisitions.”
Accounting
for Reverse Acquisitions
●
The
legal acquiree (accounting acquirer) is treated as the continuing reporting entity, and its assets, liabilities, and operations are
measured at historical cost.
●
The
legal acquirer (accounting acquiree) is recognized at fair value, similar to a business combination.
●
No
goodwill is recognized, as the transaction is considered a capital reorganization rather than an acquisition of a business per ASC
805-40-30-2.
●
The
equity structure (common stock and additional paid-in capital) is adjusted to reflect that of the legal acquirer, but the retained
earnings balance is that of the accounting acquirer.
Disclosure
Requirements for Reverse Acquisitions
Under
SEC Regulation S-X, Rule 3-05, and Regulation S-K, Items 101 and 303, the Company must disclose:
●
A
detailed description of the transaction, including how control was obtained.
●
A
comparative analysis of financial statements before and after the acquisition.
●
Pro
forma financial information in accordance with Regulation S-X, Article 11, showing the impact of the transaction as if it had occurred
at the beginning of the reporting period.
●
Changes
in governance, management, and operations post-acquisition.
For
SEC registrants, a reverse merger with a public shell company may also trigger “Super 8-K” reporting requirements under Form
8-K, Item 2.01, requiring disclosure within four business days of the transaction closing.
Regulatory
and Financial Reporting Considerations
For
SEC registrants, acquisitions may trigger additional disclosure and reporting requirements:
●
Regulation
S-X, Rule 3-05: Requires separate financial statements of the acquired business if it meets significance thresholds under Rule 1-02(w).
●
Regulation
S-K, Item 101: Requires disclosure of the impact of material acquisitions on the Company’s business operations.
●
Regulation
S-K, Item 303: Mandates discussion of the impact of acquisitions on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations
in Management’s Discussion and Analysis.
●
Regulation
S-X, Article 11: Requires pro forma financial statements if the acquisition is significant.
●
Form
8-K, Item 2.01: Immediate reporting requirements for material acquisitions, including reverse mergers.
The
Company continuously evaluates acquisitions, including reverse acquisitions, to ensure proper classification and compliance with ASC
805, SEC reporting requirements, and regulatory guidance.
Use
of Estimates and Assumptions
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the
recognition of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates, and such differences
could be material.
43
In
accordance with ASC 250-10-50-4, changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known and are accounted for prospectively.
The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, industry trends, and other relevant factors, incorporating both quantitative
and qualitative assessments that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances.
Significant
estimates for the years ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively, include:
●
Allowance
for doubtful accounts and other receivables
●
Inventory
reserves and classifications
●
Valuation
of loss contingencies
●
Valuation
of stock-based compensation
●
Estimated
useful lives of property and equipment
●
Impairment
of intangible assets
●
Implicit

Risks
and Uncertainties
The
Company operates in a highly competitive industry that is subject to intense market dynamics, shifting consumer demand, and economic
fluctuations. The Company’s operations are exposed to significant financial, operational, and strategic risks, including potential
business disruptions, supply chain constraints, and liquidity challenges.
In
accordance with ASC 275, “Risks and Uncertainties,” the Company evaluates and discloses risks that could materially affect
its financial condition, results of operations, and business outlook. Key factors contributing to variability in sales and earnings include:
1.
Industry
Cyclicality (ASC 275-10-50-6) – The Company’s financial performance is affected by industry trends, seasonality, and
shifts in market demand.
2.
Macroeconomic
Conditions (ASC 275-10-50-8) – Economic downturns, inflationary pressures, interest rate changes, and geopolitical risks may
impact consumer purchasing behavior and the Company’s revenue streams.
3.
Pricing
Volatility (ASC 275-10-50-4) – The cost and availability of raw materials, supply chain disruptions, and competitive pricing
pressures can lead to fluctuations in gross margins and profitability.
Given
these uncertainties, the Company faces challenges in accurately forecasting financial performance and may experience material risks affecting
liquidity, business continuity, and long-term strategic growth. The Company continuously assesses these risks and implements measures
to mitigate their potential impact.
Accounts
Receivable
The
Company accounts for accounts receivable in accordance with ASC 310, Receivables. Receivables are recorded at their net realizable value,
which represents the amount management expects to collect from outstanding customer balances (ASC 310-10-35-7).
The
Company extends credit to customers based on an evaluation of their financial condition and other factors. The Company does not require
collateral, and interest is not accrued on overdue accounts receivable (ASC 310-10-45-4).
Allowance
for Doubtful Accounts
Management
periodically assesses the collectability of accounts receivable and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts as needed. The allowance
is determined based on:
●
A
review of outstanding accounts,
●
Historical
collection experience, and
●
Current
economic conditions (ASC 310-10-35-9).
Accounts
deemed uncollectible are written off against the allowance when determined to be uncollectible (ASC 310-10-35-10).
44
Inventory
The
Company accounts for inventory in accordance with ASC 330, Inventory. Inventory consists solely of fuel and is stated at the lower of
cost or net realizable value using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method, as required by ASC 330-10-35-1.
Inventory
Valuation and Reserve Assessment
Management
assesses the recoverability of inventory each reporting period and establishes reserves for potential inventory write-downs when necessary.
The Company evaluates factors such as:
●
Market
conditions affecting fuel prices,
●
Net
realizable value based on estimated selling price, and
●
Inventory
turnover trends (ASC 330-10-35-2).
Right
of Use Assets and Lease Obligations
The Company accounts for right-of-use (“ROU”)
assets and lease liabilities in accordance with ASC 842, Leases . These amounts reflect the present value of the Company’s estimated
future minimum lease payments over the lease term, including any reasonably certain renewal options, discounted using a collateralized
incremental borrowing rate (ASC 842-20-30-1).
The Company classifies its leases as either operating or finance leases based on the criteria outlined in ASC 842-10-25-2.
The Company’s real-estate and certain equipment leases are classified as operating leases and are included as ROU assets and operating
lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.
Short-Term
Leases
The
Company has elected the short-term lease exemption allowed under ASC 842-20-25-2, whereby leases with a term of 12 months or less are
not recorded on the balance sheet. Instead, lease payments are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Lease
Term and Renewal Options
In
determining the lease term, the Company evaluates whether renewal options are reasonably certain to be exercised, as required by ASC
842-10-30-1. Factors considered include:
●
The
useful life of leasehold improvements relative to the lease term,
●
The
economic performance of the business at the leased location,
●
The
comparative cost of renewal rates versus market rates, and
●
The
presence of any significant economic penalties for non-renewal (ASC 842-10-55-26).
If a renewal option is deemed reasonably
certain to be exercised, the ROU asset and lease liability reflect those additional future lease payments. The Company’s operating
leases contain renewal options with no residual value guarantees. Currently, management does not expect to exercise any renewal options,
which are therefore excluded in the measurement of lease obligations.
Discount
Rate and Lease Liability Measurement
Since the implicit rate in the Company’s operating
leases is not readily determinable, the Company applies an incremental borrowing rate that represents the rate it would incur to borrow
on a collateralized basis over a similar term and currency environment (ASC 842-20-30-3).
45
Lease
Impairment
In
accordance with ASC 360-10-35, the Company evaluates ROU assets for impairment indicators whenever events or changes in circumstances
suggest the carrying amount may not be recoverable. No impairments of ROU assets were recognized for the years ended December 31, 2025,
and 2024.
See
Note 7 for details on third-party and related-party operating leases.
The
Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as amended by Accounting Standards Update
(“ASU”) 2014-09. Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the
customer in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services.
The
Company generates revenue from mobile fuel sales, which can be purchased as a one-time transaction or through a monthly membership. Revenue
from fuel sales is recognized at the time of delivery, and membership revenue is recognized at the end of each month, reflecting the
satisfaction of the performance obligation over time within a one-month membership cycle.
The
Company follows the five-step revenue recognition model outlined in ASC 606-10-05-4:
1.
Identify
the Contract with a Customer
A
contract exists when the following criteria are met, per ASC 606-10-25-1:
●
The
contract creates enforceable rights and obligations between the Company and the customer.
●
The
contract has commercial substance (i.e., it affects the Company’s cash flows).
●
The
payment terms are identified, and the consideration is determinable.
●
It
is probable that the Company will collect the consideration in exchange for the goods or services transferred.
Contracts
for mobile fuel sales and memberships meet these criteria. Collectability is assessed based on historical customer payment trends and
credit risk in accordance with ASC 606-10-25-5.
2.
Identify
the Performance Obligations in the Contract
A
performance obligation is a distinct good or service promised in the contract that is both capable of being distinct and distinct in
the context of the contract, per ASC 606-10-25-19.
The
Company has determined that its contracts, based on sales type, contain two distinct performance obligations:
●
Fuel
Sales – The delivery of fuel to a customer, with revenue recognized at the point of delivery.
●
Membership
Fees – Monthly membership services, with revenue recognized over time within a one-month membership cycle, as the customer
benefits from access to services throughout the period.
These
performance obligations are not bundled or combined, as each service is separately identifiable, in accordance with ASC 606-10-25-22.
3.
Determine
the Transaction Price
The
transaction price is the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods or services to the
customer, per ASC 606-10-32-2.
46
The
Company’s transaction price considerations include:
●
Fixed
consideration – Prices are clearly stated and do not vary based on performance.
●
No
variable consideration – The Company does not formally offer refunds, rebates, or pricing incentives. During the years ended
December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, the Company granted insignificant discounts of less than 1% of total revenues.
●
No
financing component – Payments are made upon fuel delivery or at the end of the monthly membership cycle, per ASC 606-10-32-15.
4.
Allocate
the Transaction Price to Performance Obligations
For
contracts with a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is allocated to that obligation, per ASC 606-10-32-40.
If
a contract included multiple performance obligations, the transaction price would be allocated based on relative standalone selling prices
(“SSP”) as required by ASC 606-10-32-28. The standalone selling price is determined based on observable sales data.
The
Company’s fuel sales and memberships each have a distinct standalone selling price, eliminating the need for allocation adjustments.
5.
Recognize
Revenue When (or As) Performance Obligations Are Satisfied
Revenue
is recognized at the point in time when control over a product or service is transferred to the customer, in accordance with ASC 606-10-25-30.
●
Fuel
Sales: Control transfers at the time of fuel delivery, at which point revenue is recognized.
●
Membership
Fees: Revenue is recognized over time within a one-month cycle, as customers receive continuous access to fuel delivery services
throughout the month.
The
Company does not recognize revenue based on customer invoicing dates; instead, it ensures revenue recognition aligns with the actual
satisfaction of performance obligations per ASC 606-10-25-31.
Sale-Leaseback
Transactions
During
the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company entered into four sale-leaseback transactions with Equify Financial, LLC under Master Lease
No. 17348L pursuant to which the Company sold certain transportation equipment and concurrently leased the equipment back for a 36-month
term, with monthly rent paid in advance and a lessee-paid TRAC residual due at the end of the term.
The
Company evaluated these transactions under ASC 606 and ASC 842-40 and concluded that the transfers did not qualify for sale accounting
because the present value of the lease payments, including the TRAC, represents substantially all of the fair value of the underlying
equipment (ASC 842-10-25-2(d)). Accordingly, the transactions are accounted for as financings: the equipment remains on the Company’s
balance sheet within property and equipment and continues to be depreciated on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of
five years; the cash proceeds received are recorded as a financing obligation; and scheduled lease payments are bifurcated between interest
expense (recognized using the implicit rate in the arrangement) and principal reduction of the financing obligation.
As
of December 31, 2025, the weighted-average implicit rate across the four arrangements was approximately 16.4% per annum and the aggregate
outstanding financing obligation was approximately $3.6 million.
Principal
vs. Agent Considerations
In
evaluating whether the Company acts as a principal or an agent in its fuel sales transactions, the Company applies the guidance in ASC
606-10-55-36 through 55-40. The Company has determined that it is the principal in these transactions based on the following factors:
●
The
Company controls the fuel before it is transferred to the customer.
●
The
Company has discretion in pricing, as it sets the selling price of fuel.
●
The
Company is responsible for fulfilling the obligation of delivering fuel to the customer.
●
The
Company is exposed to inventory risk, as it procures and holds fuel before sale.
Based
on these factors, the Company recognizes revenue on a gross basis, as it is the principal in fuel sales transactions in accordance with
ASC 606-10-55-37A.

Contract
Liabilities (Deferred Revenue)
Contract
liabilities represent amounts received from customers before the satisfaction of performance obligations, which are subsequently recognized
as revenue upon fulfillment.
Under
ASC 606-10-45-2, the Company discloses contract balances related to deferred revenue when applicable. Any prepayments received for fuel
deliveries or memberships are classified as contract liabilities until revenue recognition criteria are met.
Income
Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method prescribed by ASC 740, Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred
tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences of differences between the financial reporting and tax bases
of assets and liabilities. These amounts are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply in the periods when temporary differences
reverse (ASC 740-10-30-8).
The
effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax balances is recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment
date (ASC 740-10-45-4).
Uncertain
Tax Positions
The
Company evaluates uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740-10-25, which requires that a tax position be recognized in the financial
statements only if it is more likely than not (greater than 50% likelihood) to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities.
As
of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, the Company had no uncertain tax positions that qualified for recognition or disclosure
in the financial statements (ASC 740-10-50-15).
The
Company also recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in other expense in the consolidated statement of operations
(ASC 740-10-45-25). No interest and penalties were recorded for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Valuation
of Deferred Tax Assets
The
Company’s deferred tax assets include certain future tax benefits, such as net operating losses (NOLs), tax credits, and deductible
temporary differences. Under ASC 740-10-30-5, a valuation allowance is required if it is more likely than not that some portion, or all,
of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The
Company reviews the realizability of deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis, or more frequently if circumstances warrant, considering
both positive and negative evidence (ASC 740-10-30-16).
Factors
Considered in Valuation Allowance Assessment
The
Company evaluates multiple factors in determining whether a valuation allowance is necessary, including:
●
Historical
earnings trends (cumulative pre-tax income or losses in the most recent three-year period)
●
Future
financial projections, including expected taxable income based on long-term estimates of business performance and market conditions
●
Statutory
carryforward periods for net operating losses and other deferred tax assets
●
Prudent
and feasible tax planning strategies that could impact the realization of deferred tax assets
●
Nature
and predictability of temporary differences and the timing of their reversal
●
Sensitivity
of financial forecasts to external factors such as commodity prices, market demand, and operational risks
While
cumulative three-year losses are a strong indicator that a valuation allowance may be needed, ASC 740-10-30-23 states that a valuation
allowance determination is not solely based on past losses—all available positive and negative evidence must be considered.
48
Valuation
Allowance Determination
At
December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, the Company recorded a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets, resulting
in a net carrying amount of $0. This determination was based on cumulative losses in recent years and the lack of sufficient positive
evidence to support the realization of deferred tax assets in the near term (ASC 740-10-30-24).
The
Company will continue to evaluate its valuation allowance each reporting period and will recognize deferred tax assets in the future
if sufficient positive evidence emerges to support their realization.
Stock-Based
Compensation
The
Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation,” using
the fair value-based method. Under this guidance, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award
and is recognized over the requisite service period, typically the vesting period.
ASC
718 establishes accounting standards for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. It also
applies to transactions where an entity incurs liabilities based on the fair value of its equity instruments or liabilities that may
be settled using equity instruments.
In
compliance with ASU 2018-07, the Company applies the fair value method for equity instruments granted to both employees and non-employees,
aligning non-employee share-based payment accounting with that of employees. The fair value of stock-based compensation is determined
as of the grant date or the measurement date (i.e., when the performance obligation is completed) and is recognized over the vesting
period in accordance with ASC 718.
The
Company determines the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, considering the following key assumptions:
●
Exercise
price – The agreed-upon price at which the option can be exercised.
●
Expected
dividends – The anticipated dividend yield over the expected life of the option.
●
Expected
volatility – Based on historical stock price fluctuations.
●
Risk-free
interest rate – Derived from U.S. Treasury securities with similar maturities.
●
Expected
life of the option – Estimated based on historical exercise patterns and contractual terms.
Additionally,
the Company follows the guidance under ASU 2016-09, which introduced amendments to simplify certain accounting aspects of share-based
compensation, including:
●
The
treatment of tax benefits and tax deficiencies in income tax reporting.
●
The
option to recognize forfeitures as they occur rather than estimating them upfront.
●
Cash
flow classification for certain tax-related transactions.
The
Company continues to evaluate and apply the latest ASUs and interpretive releases related to stock-based compensation to ensure compliance
with evolving financial reporting requirements.
Basic
and Diluted Earnings (Loss) per Share and Reverse Stock Split
The
Company computes earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share.” The calculation
of basic EPS follows the two-class method and is determined by dividing net earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding, including certain other shares committed to be issued.
49
Basic
EPS
Basic
EPS is calculated using the two-class method, as prescribed by ASC 260-10-45-60, and is computed as follows:
●
Net
earnings available to common shareholders represent net earnings to common shareholders, adjusted for the allocation of earnings
to participating securities.
●
Losses
are not allocated to participating securities in accordance with ASC 260-10-45-61.
●
The
denominator includes common shares outstanding and certain other shares committed to be issued, such as restricted stock and restricted
stock units (“RSUs”), for which no future service is required.
Diluted
EPS
Diluted
EPS is calculated under both the two-class method and the treasury stock method, and the more dilutive result is reported, as required
by ASC 260-10-45-45.
●
Diluted
EPS is computed by taking the sum of:
○
Net
earnings available to common shareholders
○
Dividends
on preferred shares
○
Dividends
on dilutive mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred shares
○
Divided
by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and certain other shares committed to be issued, plus all dilutive common
stock equivalents during the period, such as:
■
Stock
options
■
Warrants
■
Convertible
preferred stock
■
Convertible
debt
●
Preferred
shares and unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid
or unpaid) qualify as participating securities under the two-class method, per ASC 260-10-45-62.
Net
Loss Per Share Considerations
In
computing net loss per share, unvested shares of common stock are excluded from the denominator, as required by ASC 260-10-45-48.
Participating
Securities & Share-Based Compensation
Restricted
stock and RSUs granted as part of share-based compensation contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends and dividend equivalents, respectively.
Therefore:
●
Before
the requisite service is rendered for the right to retain the award, these instruments meet the definition of a participating security
under ASC 260-10-45-59.
●
RSUs
granted under an executive compensation plan, however, are not considered participating securities because the rights to dividend
equivalents are forfeitable (ASC 718-10-25).
Related
Parties
The
Company defines related parties in accordance with ASC 850, “Related Party Disclosures,” and Regulation S-X, Rule 4-08(k).
Related parties include entities and individuals that, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, control, are controlled
by, or are under common control with the Company.
Related
parties include, but are not limited to:
●
Principal
owners of the Company.
●
Members
of management (including directors, executive officers, and key employees).
●
Immediate
family members of principal owners and members of management.
●
Entities
affiliated with principal owners or management through direct or indirect ownership.
●
Entities
with which the Company has significant transactions, where one party has the ability to exercise control or significant influence
over the management or operating policies of the other.
50
A
party is considered related if it has the ability to control or significantly influence the management or operating policies of the Company
in a manner that could prevent either party from fully pursuing its own separate economic interests.
The
Company discloses all material related party transactions, including:
●
The
nature of the relationship between the parties.
●
A
description of the transaction(s), including terms and amounts involved.
●
Any
amounts due to or from related parties as of the reporting date.
●
Any
other elements necessary for a clear understanding of the transactions’ effects on the financial statements.
Disclosures
are made in accordance with ASC 850-10-50-1 through 50-6 and Regulation S-X, Rule 4-08(k), which requires registrants to disclose material
related party transactions and their effects on the financial position and results of operations.

Recent
Accounting Standards
In
November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, which enhances disclosure requirements for reportable segments by:
●
Requiring
enhanced disclosures of significant segment expenses.
●
Aligning
segment reporting requirements with information regularly reviewed by management.
The
Company adopted ASU 2023-07 on January 1, 2024. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements.
Recently
Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In
December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, which enhances income tax disclosure requirements by:
●
Standardizing
and disaggregating rate reconciliation categories.
●
Requiring
disclosure of income taxes paid by jurisdiction.
This
ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and may be applied on a prospective or retrospective basis. Early
adoption is permitted.
The
Company is currently assessing the impact of ASU 2023-09 on its income tax disclosures and reporting requirements.
51
In
November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation
Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”). This standard requires
additional disclosures of certain expenses, including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset
amortization, and other specific expense categories. This standard also requires disclosure of the total amount of selling expenses
and the Company’s definition of selling expenses. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026,
and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. We are evaluating the impact
this update will have on our annual disclosures; however, it will not impact our financial condition, results of operations, or cash
flows.
Other
Accounting Standards Updates
The
FASB has issued various technical corrections and industry-specific updates that are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s
consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Revenues
Revenues
for the year ended December 31, 2025, increased significantly compared to the prior year December 31, 2024. This growth was primarily
attributable to a rise in gallons delivered, as well as an uptick in the average price per gallon. Several factors contributed to this
performance:
1.
Expanded
Customer Base
The
Company successfully grew its presence in existing markets while entering new regions, resulting in a higher total volume of fuel
delivered. This expansion was supported by focused sales efforts and brand-building initiatives that attracted both new commercial and residential customers.
2.
Fleet
Partnerships
Strategic
partnerships with commercial fleet operators continued to drive fueling volumes. These partnerships often involve recurring, contracted
deliveries that provide a stable, predictable revenue stream. As more fleet operators adopt on-demand fueling to reduce downtime and
optimize logistics, EzFill benefits from increased, repeat business.
3.
Enhanced
Technology & Marketing
Ongoing
enhancements to the EzFill mobile application—including user interface improvements and expanded scheduling features—improved
the customer experience and streamlined order placement. Coupled with targeted marketing campaigns, these tech and branding initiatives
boosted visibility and encouraged higher consumer adoption rates, further lifting revenues.
Cost
of Sales
Cost
of sales rose year over year, in line with the higher sales volumes and expanded market coverage. Despite the increase in absolute costs,
gross profit improved, reflecting disciplined pricing, higher-margin sales, and operational efficiencies. Key factors influencing cost
of sales include:
1.
Higher
Fuel Volume
As
overall demand increased, the Company purchased and delivered a greater volume of fuel. Although this drove up the total cost of sales,
it remained proportionate to revenue growth, preserving gross margins.
2.
Fuel
Price Fluctuations
Commodity
price swings can significantly affect fuel costs. However, the Company’s dynamic pricing strategies and supplier relationships
helped ensure that these fluctuations did not adversely impact overall profitability.
3.
Logistics
& Delivery Costs
Expansion
into new geographic areas required additional delivery routes and staffing. While these investments raised labor and transportation costs,
they were essential for meeting growing customer demand. Improved driver efficiency and delivery scheduling helped partially offset the
impact of these higher costs, contributing to the year-over-year improvement in gross profit.
Operating
Expenses
Operating
expenses increased compared to the prior year, primarily due to an increase in sales and revenue.
53
Depreciation
and Amortization
Depreciation
and amortization also increased year over year. The primary driver of this increase was the depreciation of newly acquired vehicles during the year, reflecting the Company’s ongoing
investments in delivery vehicles, fueling technology, and other capital expenditures necessary to support continued growth and maintain
operational efficiency.

The
Company’s other income (expense), net, deteriorated significantly for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to the prior year.
The primary drivers were the increase in interest expense—particularly from default penalty interest—and the loss on debt
extinguishment associated with related-party debt transactions. Below is a detailed breakdown of the major components.
Interest
Income
Interest
income decreased in 2025, reflecting a continuation in the Company’s cash management strategy. In 2024, the Company had short-term
investments or interest-bearing accounts that generated interest, which did not recur in 2025.
Other
income
Other
income decreased year over year.
Interest
Expense (including amortization of debt discount)
Interest
expense surged in 2025, primarily due to:
1.
Default
Penalty Interest : The Company incurred significantly more in default penalty interest in 2025 than in the prior year.
This penalty arose from contractual defaults related to late note payments.
54
2.
Amortization
of Debt Discount : The amortization of debt discount increased to $9,586,418 in 2025 from $5,352,448 in 2024. This reflects additional
debt arrangements with original issue discounts. Additionally, in connection with the conversion of debt converted to equity, related
unamortized discounts were expensed at that time.
3.
Existing
and New Borrowings : Interest expense was recognized on outstanding debt instruments.
Loss
on Sale of Marketable Debt Securities - Net
The
Company had no activity related to marketable securities in 2024 or 2025.
Loss
on Debt Extinguishment – Related Party
The
Company recorded a loss on debt extinguishment of $907,500 in 2024 in connection with the conversion of related-party debt to Series
A Preferred Stock. By contrast, in 2025, the Company did not record a loss on debt extinguishment.

Our
net loss was the result of the categories discussed above. Overall, the increase in revenues, driven by both volume and pricing, showcases
the Company’s successful market expansion and deepening fleet partnerships. While costs naturally rose with higher delivery volumes,
disciplined operational execution and strategic pricing helped improve gross profit. Ongoing cost-optimization initiatives further reduced
operating expenses, though the Company continues to invest in talent and technology to fuel long-term growth.
Non-GAAP
Financial Measures
Adjusted
EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure which we use in our financial performance analyses. This measure should not be considered a substitute
for GAAP-basis measures, nor should it be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP. We believe
that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the impact of net interest expense, taxes, depreciation,
amortization, impairment of goodwill, other intangibles and fixed assets, and stock compensation expense, provides useful supplemental
information that is essential to a proper understanding of our financial results. Non-GAAP measures are not formally defined by GAAP,
and other entities may use calculation methods that differ from ours for the purposes of calculating Adjusted EBITDA. As a complement
to GAAP financial measures, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA assists investors who follow the practice of some investment analysts who
adjust GAAP financial measures to exclude items that may obscure underlying performance and distort comparability.
The
following is a reconciliation of net loss to the non-GAAP financial measure referred to as Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December
31, 2025 and 2024:

Cash
and cash equivalents decreased year-over-year. The primary drivers of this increase were:

Debt
Financing Received Late in the Year
The
Company secured additional financing toward the end of the fiscal year, boosting its cash position. This infusion of funds was a key
component in supporting ongoing operational needs and future growth initiatives.
2.
Timing
of Expenses
Certain
operating expenses were either deferred or settled after year-end, resulting in higher cash on hand as of December 31, 2025. This timing
variance can create short-term fluctuations in the Company’s reported cash balances.
Overall,
the Company’s stronger cash position provides added liquidity to support daily operations, manage working capital requirements,
and pursue strategic opportunities.
Management
continues to monitor cash flows carefully to ensure that the Company maintains sufficient funding for near-term obligations and future
expansion.

Operating
Activities
Net cash used in operating activities increased by
approximately $8,2 million, or 28.13%, year-over-year. This increase is largely due to the increase in operating expenses and net loss,
as well as a decrease in interest income.
Investing
Activities
Cash received from investing activities increased
$11.7 million, or 100%, from December 31, 2024 to December 31, 2025, driven by a decrease in a purchase of fixed assets and cash proceeds
from the sale of vehicles.
Financing
Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities decreased
by $5.3 million, or 28.37%, and was largely driven by proceeds from notes receivable and cash from the sale of common stock, offset by
the repayment of notes payable, and entry into a financing lease via a sales
leaseback transaction. .
Net
Change in Cash and Cash Equivalents
Overall, the Company’s cash position decreased
by approximately $1.2 million, or 76%, in 2025. This decrease is primarily the result of increased operating expenses, partially offset
by the increase in revenue, as well as by the decrease of cash provided by financing activities.
Cash
Flow Summary
1.
Strengthened
Liquidity : The significant uptick in financing inflows helped offset operating and investing outflows, resulting in a positive
net change in cash and cash equivalents.
2.
Growth-Focused
Investments : The higher cash outflows for investing activities underscore the Company’s commitment to scaling its operations,
although this increases near-term cash usage.
3.
Improving
Operational Cash Use : A reduction in net cash used in operating activities highlights improving efficiencies and stronger sales,
but continued focus on cost management remains critical to achieving positive operating cash flows in the future.
Overall,
the Company’s cash flow trends reflect a deliberate effort to fund growth initiatives while managing day-to-day operational needs.
Management believes that recent financing activities, coupled with ongoing improvements in operational efficiency, will position the
Company for future stability and expansion.

Conclusion
1.
Liquidity and Capital Resources : The decrease in cash from financing activities is primarily due to repayments of notes payable exceeding new funds received from the issuance of new notes payable. Higher interest expense and ongoing operational requirements underscore the importance of prudent cash management and careful monitoring of debt covenants.
2.
Focus
on Operational Efficiency : Management continues to prioritize cost controls, aiming to reduce the net cash used in operating
activities. Improved working capital management, route optimization, and potential price adjustments are key levers for achieving
positive cash flow from operations in future periods.
3.
Related-Party
Financing : The continued reliance on related-party notes and convertible preferred stock indicates a supportive investor base.
Nonetheless, the Company must remain mindful of the terms and potential ramifications of such financing, including interest rates,
default provisions, and equity dilution.
By
maintaining a disciplined approach to both spending and financing, the Company aims to strengthen its balance sheet and sustain the growth
momentum of its on-demand fueling business.
Liquidity
and Sources of Capital
At
this time, we believe our existing funding sources may not be sufficient to meet our operational requirements and service our debt obligations
over the next 12 months from the issuance date of these consolidated financial statements. This assessment is based on our historical
operating performance, ongoing capital needs, and our current reliance on external financing.
Historical
Operating Performance and Financing
Since
inception, the Company has incurred net losses and has not generated sufficient revenues or positive operating income to independently
fund our operations. Consequently, we have depended on equity and debt financings—including those from related parties—to
finance our activities and support our growth initiatives. This reliance on external funding has been critical for maintaining day-to-day
operations, expanding our service capacity, and investing in technology and assets. However, it has also introduced risks related to
interest expense, equity dilution, and dependency on the availability of future financing.
Current
Liquidity Position
Our
liquidity position primarily reflects a combination of cash on hand and available debt arrangements.
Despite
recent improvements in cash balances due to targeted financing activities, we continue to face challenges in achieving sustainable cash
flow from operations. The timing of expenditures and capital outlays, coupled with the inherent volatility in revenue generation in our
industry, adds to the uncertainty of our liquidity profile.
Debt
Obligations and Capital Expenditures
A
significant portion of our near-term cash outflows is attributable to scheduled debt repayments and interest expense, including higher
financing costs incurred from default penalty interest and increased debt discount amortization. Additionally, as we invest in capital
expenditures—such as the purchase of new delivery vehicles and technology enhancements—to support expansion into new markets,
our cash requirements remain elevated. These commitments, while essential for long-term growth, further strain our liquidity in the short
term.
59
Reliance
on External Financing
Given
the current financial dynamics, we have continually relied on external sources of capital. Our funding strategies have included:
●
Equity
Issuances: Raising capital through the sale of common or preferred shares, including convertible securities from related parties.
●
Debt
Financings: Securing loans and other debt instruments, often under terms that include default penalty interest or other onerous conditions,
which have contributed to higher financing costs.
●
Related-Party
Transactions: Engaging with supportive investors and related parties who have provided additional funds, albeit at terms that may
affect our overall capital structure.
Going
Concern Considerations
Our
independent registered public accounting firm has issued a going concern qualification, reflecting the material uncertainties surrounding
our ability to continue as a profitable entity. This qualification is primarily driven by:
●
The
historical and recurring net losses.
●
Our
dependence on external capital to finance operations.
●
The
risk that current financing arrangements may not be renewed or may be available only under less favorable terms.
Management
is actively pursuing strategies to enhance revenue generation, improve operational efficiencies, and secure additional financing on more
sustainable terms. We are evaluating various initiatives, including cost-containment measures, operational improvements, and strategic
partnerships, with the aim of transitioning to positive cash flow from operations. However, there remains a risk that these strategies
may not yield the desired outcomes in the near term.
Outlook
and Mitigating Actions
In
light of these challenges, we continue to closely monitor our liquidity position and are exploring multiple avenues to secure additional
funding. These include:
●
Negotiating
more favorable terms on existing and future debt.
●
Identifying
new equity partners or investors.
●
Optimizing
working capital through tighter control of receivables, payables, and inventory management.
While
these efforts are underway, our ability to meet operational and financial obligations over the next 12 months remains subject to significant
uncertainty. Investors and stakeholders should be aware of the risks associated with our current liquidity and capital structure, and
the potential need for additional financing that could result in further dilution or increased debt service obligations.
Going
Concern Qualification
As
reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, for the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company had:
●
Net
loss available to common stockholders of $86,406,431; and
●
Net
cash used in operations was $14,497,300.
Additionally,
at December 31, 2025, the Company had:
●
Accumulated
deficit of $153,942,132;
●
Stockholders’
deficit of $22,114,845 and
●
Working
capital deficit of $25,115,995.

The
Company anticipates that it will need to raise additional capital immediately in order to continue to fund its operations. The Company
has relied on related parties for the debt-based funding of its operations. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain
funds on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. There is also no assurance that the amount of funds the Company might raise will enable
the Company to complete its initiatives or attain profitable operations.
The
Company’s operating needs include the planned costs to operate its business, including amounts required to fund working capital
and capital expenditures. The Company’s future capital requirements and the adequacy of its available funds will depend on many
factors, including the Company’s ability to successfully expand to new markets, competition, and the need to enter into collaborations
with other companies or acquire other companies to enhance or complement its product and service offerings.
There
can be no assurances that financing will be available on terms which are favorable, or at all. If the Company is unable to raise additional
funding to meet its working capital needs in the future, it will be forced to delay, reduce, or cease its operations.
We
manage liquidity risk by reviewing, on an ongoing basis, our sources of liquidity and capital requirements. The Company had cash on hand
of $384,140 at December 31, 2025.
The
Company has historically incurred significant losses since inception and has not demonstrated an ability to generate sufficient revenues
from the sales of its products and services to achieve profitable operations. In making this assessment we performed a comprehensive
analysis of our current circumstances including: our financial position, our cash flows and cash usage forecasts for the twelve months
ending December 31, 2026, and our current capital structure including equity-based instruments and our obligations and debts.
These
factors create substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within the twelve-month period subsequent
to the date that these financial statements are issued.
The
consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going
concern. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a basis that assumes the Company will continue as a going concern
and which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business.
Management’s
strategic plans include the following:
●
Expand
into new and existing markets (commercial and residential);
●
Obtain
additional debt and/or equity based financing for growth;
●
Collaborations
with other operating businesses for strategic opportunities; and
●
Acquire
other businesses to enhance or complement our current business model while accelerating our growth.

Promissory
Note, dated as of December 26, 2024
On
December 26, 2024, the Company and Gad International Ltd. (the “Lender”) entered into a promissory note (the “Gad Note”)
for the sum of $2,500,000 (the “Loan”) to be used for the Company’s working capital needs, including without limitation
the purchase of equipment. Unless the Gad Note is otherwise accelerated or extended in accordance with the terms and conditions therein,
the balance of the Gad Note, along with accrued interest, will be due and payable in full on February 23, 2025. Further, the Company
agreed among other things to pay the Lender a commitment fee of $400,000 in consideration of the Loan, and an optional extension fee
of $200,000 for any month or part thereof in which the Company requests an additional 30-day extension to the Loan, upon the Lender’s
written consent. If any amount payable under the Loan is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, or otherwise,
such overdue amount will bear interest at a rate of 21%. Additionally, the Company agreed to execute an irrevocable transfer instruction
with its transfer agent to issue $5,000,000 worth of shares of Company common stock to the Lender if the Gad Note is not repaid on or
before February 23, 2025. However, pursuant to an amendment to the Gad Note, dated January 15, 2025, between the Company and the Lender,
no shares of the Company can be issued without the Company first receiving shareholder approval. The Company has commenced the process
of obtaining shareholder approval and once the shareholder approval process is completed and the Company is authorized to issue the shares,
the Company will issue the shares. The Company shall take no action to impair, hinder or impede either the approval process or the issuance
of the shares in the event they become owed to Lender. Such shares of common stock will be valued based on the Nasdaq official closing
price for the Company’s common stock as of date of the issuance of the Gad Note. The note was extended to March 23, 2025, and in
exchange for the extension of the maturity date, the Company paid a fee of $200,000. The note was paid in full on March 26, 2025.

Promissory
Note, dated as of December 30, 2024
On
December 30, 2024, the Company and NextNRG entered into a promissory note (the “December 30 Note”) for the sum of $330,000
to be used for the Company’s working capital needs, including without limitation the purchase of equipment. The unpaid principal
balance of the December 30 Note has a fixed rate of interest of 8% per annum. Unless the December 30 Note is otherwise accelerated or
extended in accordance with the terms and conditions therein, the balance of the December 30 Note, along with accrued interest, will
be due and payable in full on December 30, 2025. If the Company defaults on the December 30 Note, the unpaid principal and interest sums,
along with all other amounts payable, multiplied by 150% will be immediately due. Upon default, NextNRG will have the right to convert
all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal, interest, penalties, and all other amounts under the December 30 Note into fully
paid and non-assessable shares of the Company’s common stock. The conversion price shall equal the greater of the average VWAP
over the five trading day period prior to the conversion date; or $0.70 (the “Floor Price”). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the conversion price shall not exceed the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market on the date
of the December 30 Note. The Company and NextNRG have agreed that the total cumulative number of common stock issued to Next under the
December 30 Note, together with all other transaction documents may not exceed the requirements of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d) (“Nasdaq
19.99% Cap”), except that such limitation will not apply following shareholder approval. If the Company is unable to obtain shareholder
approval to issue common stock to NextNRG in excess of the Nasdaq 19.99% Cap, then any remaining outstanding balance of the December
30 Note must be repaid in cash at the request of NextNRG. The December 30 Note contains a protection for NextNRG in the event the Company
effectuates a split of its common stock. In the event of a stock split, if the December 30 Note is issued and outstanding and has not
been converted, then the number of shares and the price for any conversion under the December 30 Note will be adjusted by the same ratios
or multipliers of any such subdivision, split, reverse split.
Michael
Farkas is the chief executive officer of NextNRG and is the beneficial holder of approximately 48.7% of the Company’s outstanding
shares of common stock.
Promissory
Note, dated as of January 15, 2025
On
January 15, 2025, the Company and Alcourt LLC (“Alcourt”) entered into a promissory note (the “Alcourt Note”)
for the sum of $1,000,000 to be used for the Company’s working capital needs, including without limitation, the purchase of equipment.
The Alcourt Note was issued with an original issue discount of $50,000. The unpaid principal balance of the Alcourt Note has a fixed
rate of interest of 15% per annum. Unless the Alcourt Note is otherwise accelerated or extended in accordance with the terms and conditions
therein, the balance of the Alcourt Note, along with accrued interest, will be due and payable in full on April 15, 2025 (“Maturity
Date”). If the Alcourt Note is not repaid by the Maturity Date, for any reason whatsoever, the Company will issue shares of the
Company’s common stock with a then current value of $500,000 to Alcourt (the “Extension Fee”). The shares will be valued
based on the greater of: (i) the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the Maturity Date; or (ii) $1.00 per share; if
the Company’s common stock is trading below $1.00 per share, Alcourt can elect to receive the Extension Fee of $500,000 in cash.
The Company agreed to execute an irrevocable transfer instruction with its transfer agent to issue $500,000 worth of shares of Company
common stock to Alcourt if the Alcourt Note is not repaid on or before April 15, 2025. Upon payment of the Extension Fee, the Maturity
Date shall be extended until July 15, 2025. Additionally, if the Alcourt Note is paid at any time after the initial Maturity Date, the
Company shall pay a $50,000 termination fee together with the repayment of the principal, accrued unpaid interest, and any other charges
due to Alcourt. No shares of the Company shall be issued without the Company first receiving shareholder approval. The Company has commenced
the process of obtaining shareholder approval as soon as reasonably practicable after execution of the Alcourt Note.
The
note was repaid in full in February 2025.
Shareholder
Approval
On
January 15, 2025, the holders of a majority of the Company’s voting capital stock approved the following corporate actions via
written consent (the “Authorizations”):
(i)
the
possible issuance of shares of the Company common stock with a then current value of $500,000 under that certain promissory note,
dated as of January 15, 2025, by and between the Company and Alcourt, in the event that such note is not repaid by April 15, 2025
(this note was repaid in full in February 2025);
(ii)
the
possible issuance of $5,000,000 worth of shares of Company common stock under that certain promissory note, dated as of December
26, 2024, by and between the Company and Gad, as amended by that certain amendment to promissory note, dated as of January 15, 2025,
in the event that such promissory note is not repaid on or before February 23, 2025 (the note was extended to March 23, 2025); and
(iii)
the
possible issuance of shares of Company common stock under those certain promissory notes by and between the Company and NextNRG Holding
Corp., dated as of November 14, 2024, December 2, 2024, December 3, 2024, December 17, 2024 and December 30, 2024, respectively.
Such
consents were obtained in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rules 5635(a) and 5635(d), as applicable, which require, in relevant part, that
the Company may not issue shares of its common stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock) in other than public
offerings or in connection an acquisition without stockholder approval if the aggregate number of shares of common stock issued would
be equal to or greater than 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock as of the date of issuance. The
Company filed with the Commission, and disseminated to its stockholders, a definitive information statement in respect of the Authorizations.
62
Closing
of the NextNRG Acquisition
The
Company, the members of Next Charging LLC (the “Members”) and Michael Farkas, an individual, as the representative of the
Members entered into an Exchange Agreement dated August 10, 2023 as amended by the Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement, dated November
2, 2023 (as so amended the “Original Exchange Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire from the Members
100% of the membership interests of Next Charging LLC in exchange for the issuance by the Company to the Members of shares of common
stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”). Subsequently, Next Charging LLC converted to a corporation
organized in the State of Nevada named NextNRG Holding Corp. (“Next”) effective as of March 1, 2024 (the “Conversion”),
which Conversion continued the existence of the prior entity in the new corporate form and the prior members of Next Charging LLC remained
as shareholders of NextNRG.
On
June 11, 2024, in order to reflect the Conversion, the Company, all of the shareholders of Next (the “Shareholders”) and
Michael Farkas as the representative of the Shareholders (the “Shareholders’ Representative”) executed a second amended
and restated agreement to replace the Original Exchange Agreement in its entirety (the “Second Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement”).
Pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement, the Company agreed to acquire from the Shareholders 100% of the shares
of Next in exchange for the issuance by the Company to the Shareholders of Common Stock.
On
July 22, 2024, the Company and the Shareholders’ Representative entered into the first amendment to the Second Amended and Restated
Exchange Agreement (“First Amendment”) to add a new section 2.10 to the Second Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement providing
that, in the event that the Company at any time prior to the closing undertakes any forward split of the Common Stock, or any reverse
split of the Common Stock, any references to numbers of shares of Common Stock and the shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Shareholders
as set forth in the Second Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement shall be deemed automatically updated and adjusted to the extent still
applicable.
The
Company and the Shareholders’ Representative entered into the second amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement
(“Second Amendment”). Under the Second Amendment, the consideration to be paid to the Shareholders was revised from 40,000,000
shares of Common Stock to 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock (“Exchange Shares”) of which, 25,000,000 or 50,000,000 shares
of the Exchange Shares would be vested on the closing date, and the remaining 75,000,000 or 50,000,000 shares of the Exchange Shares
would be subject to vesting or forfeiture. The Second Amendment also provides that in the event that the acquisition of an acquisition
target (as defined under the Second Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement) by Next (the “Target”), directly or indirectly
through Next or a subsidiary of Next, had been completed prior to the closing, then 50,000,000 of the Exchange Shares would be the “Vested
Shares” and 50,000,000 of the Exchange Shares would be the “Restricted Shares” subject to vesting. In the event that
the acquisition of the acquisition Target by Next, directly or indirectly through Next or a subsidiary of Next, had not been completed
prior to the closing, then 25,000,000 of the Exchange Shares shall be the “Vested Shares” and 75,000,000 of the Exchange
Shares shall be the “Restricted Shares” subject to vesting. The Second Amendment also amends and restates the vesting schedule
for the Restricted Shares and includes amendments to omit and amend certain provisions of the Second Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement
in light of the amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation.
On
February 13, 2025, the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Second Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement, as amended by
the First Amendment and Second Amendment, was completed, and in connection therewith Next became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To
the Board of Directors and Stockholders of NEXTNRG, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Opinion
on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We
have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of NEXTNRG, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2025 and
2024, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the years
in the two-year period ended December 31, 2025 and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”).
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year
period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going
Concern
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed
in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company suffered a substantial net loss from operations and has insufficient
revenues and income to fully fund the operations, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s
plans regarding those matters are discussed in Note 1. 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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements.
We believe our audits provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical
Audit Matter
The
critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audits of the consolidated financial statements
that were communicated, or required to be communicated, to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are
material to the consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole,
and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts
or disclosures to which it relates.
Going
Concern
.As
discussed in Note 1, the Company suffered a net loss from operations and has an accumulated deficit for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Auditing
management’s evaluation of a going concern can be a significant judgement given the fact that the Company uses management estimates
on future revenues and expenses which are not able to be substantiated.
To
evaluate the appropriateness of the going concern, we examined and evaluated the financial information along with management’s
plans to mitigate the going concern and management’s disclosure on going concern.

Common
Control Merger (Related Party)
Transaction
Overview
On
August 10, 2023, the Company, the members (the “Members”) of Next Charging LLC (“Next Charging”) and Michael
Farkas, as the representative of the Members, entered into an Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”), pursuant to
which the Company agreed to acquire from the Members 100 % of the membership interests of Next Charging (the “Membership Interests”)
in exchange for up to 40,000,000 shares of common stock. Subsequently, Next Charging converted to a corporation organized in the State
of Nevada named NextNRG Holding Corp. (“Next Holding”) effective as of March 1, 2024 (the “Conversion”), which
Conversion continued the existence of the prior entity in the new corporate form and the prior members of Next Charging remained as shareholders
of Next Holding.
On
June 11, 2024, in order to reflect the Conversion, the Company, all of the shareholders of Next Holding and Mr. Farkas as the representative
of the Next Holding executed a second amended and restated agreement to replace the Exchange Agreement in its entirety (the “Second
Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement”). Pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement, the Company agreed to
acquire from the Next Holding 100% of the shares of Next Holding in exchange for the issuance by the Company to the Next Holding shareholders
of Company common stock.
On
September 25, 2024, the Company and Mr. Farkas entered into the second amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement
(“Second Amendment”) to change the number of the Company’s common stock shares to be issued to the Next Holding shareholders
by the Company in exchange for 100 % of the shares of Next Holding to 100,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.
The
Second Amendment also provided that in the event Next Holding completes the acquisition of STAT-EI, Inc. (“SEI” or “STAT”),
prior to the closing, then 50,000,000 shares will vest on the closing date, and the remaining 50,000,000 shares will be subject to vesting
or forfeiture (such shares subject to vesting or forfeiture, the “Restricted Shares”). Next Holding completed the acquisition
of SEI on January 19, 2024, and thus 50,000,000 vested on that closing date. The remaining 50,000,000 restricted shares are subject to
vesting or forfeiture. 25,000,000 of the 50,000,000 restricted shares will vest, if at all, upon the Company commercially deploying the
third solar, wireless electric vehicle charging, microgrid, and/or battery storage system (such systems as more specifically defined
under the Second Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement, as amended) and 25,000,000 of the 50,000,000 Restricted Shares will vest, if
at all, upon the Company either reaching annual revenues exceeding $ 100 million, the Company completing projects with deployment costs
greater than $ 100 million, or the Company completing a capital raise greater than $ 25 million.
F- 7
Prior
to closing, the Company (i) increased the number of its authorized shares of common stock from 50,000,000 to 500,000,000 , (ii) received
stockholder approval, (iii) received third-party consents, and (iv) ensured compliance with the rules and regulations of The Nasdaq Stock
Market.
Transaction
Closing
On
February 13, 2025, the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Second Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement, as amended, was
completed. Pursuant to the terms of the Second Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement, as amended, the Company issued an aggregate of
100,000,000 shares of common stock in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Next Holding, and Next Holding became
a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
Corporate
Name Change
On
February 13, 2025, the Company changed its name from EzFill Holdings, Inc. to NextNRG, Inc.
Business Overview of NextNRG
NextNRG
is Powering What’s Next by implementing artificial intelligence (“AI”) and machine learning (“ML”) into
renewable energy, next-generation energy infrastructure, battery storage, wireless electric vehicle (“EV”) charging and on-demand
mobile fuel delivery to create an integrated ecosystem.
At
the core of NextNRG’s strategy is its utility operating system, which leverages AI and ML to help make existing utilities’
energy management as efficient as possible, and the deployment of NextNRG smart microgrids, which utilize AI-driven energy management
alongside solar power and battery storage to enhance energy efficiency, reduce costs and improve grid resiliency. These microgrids are
designed to serve commercial properties, schools, hospitals, nursing homes, parking garages, rural and tribal lands, recreational facilities
and government properties, expanding energy accessibility.
NextNRG
continues to expand its growing fleet of fuel delivery trucks and national footprint. NextNRG is also integrating sustainable energy
solutions into its mobile fueling operations. The company hopes to be an integral part of assisting its fleet customers in their transition
to EV, supporting more efficient fuel delivery while advancing clean energy adoption. The transition process is expected to include the
deployment of NextNRG’s innovative wireless EV charging solutions.
Common
Control Determination
The
Company has determined that the Company’s acquisition of Next Holding qualifies as a common control merger under the Financial
Accounting Standards Board’s (the “FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805-50-15-6, which
defines control as the ability to direct management and policies by ownership, contractual arrangements, or other means.
Key
factors included in our assessment of common control are as follows:
●
Company
Control:
○
Mr.
Farkas controlled more than 20% of the Company prior to December 31, 2023, as the largest individual shareholder;
○
As
the primary debt lender prior to and at the time of the merger, Mr. Farkas had the ability to influence critical financial decisions;
○
The
Company’s liquidity was significantly supported by Next Holding funding prior to and at the time of the merger, reflecting
decisions and activities controlled by Mr. Farkas; and
○
On
the date of merger, Mr. Farkas controlled approximately 70 % of the Company.
●
Next
Holding Control:
○ Mr.
Farkas concurrently exercised control over Next Holding prior to December 31, 2023.
F- 8
Accounting
Treatment
As
both the Company and Next Holding shared common ownership at all times prior to, at the time of and subsequent to the merger date, this
transaction is classified as a common control merger.
At
the date of acquisition, Mr. Farkas owned approximately 70 % of the Company and 67 % of Next Holding.
For
the following discussion, see authoritative guidance throughout ASC 805-50, 260-10 and ASC 280:
1.
Retention of Historical Carrying Amounts
The
acquired entity’s assets and liabilities are recorded at their historical carrying amounts.
2.
Pooling-of-Interests Approach
The
pooling-of-interests approach identifies that transfers between entities under common control do not represent a change in ownership.
In these transactions, the entity receiving net assets or exchanging shares is required to measure the assets and liabilities at their
carrying amounts as recorded in the transferring entity’s separate financial statements (which reflect the historical cost basis
established by the ultimate parent). Essentially, this guidance results in an accounting treatment similar to the pooling-of-interests
method.
3.
Retrospective Application to Financial Statements
The
historical financial statements are adjusted as if the merger had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented. By doing
so, all periods in the financial statements are made comparable, reflecting the merger’s effects consistently.
4.
Equity Adjustments
Adjustments
to additional paid-in capital (“APIC”) and retained earnings are made to reconcile historical balances. Historical retained
earnings (deficit) are combined and consolidated.
5.
Earnings per Share (“EPS”)
●
Retroactive
adjustments are required when a change in the capital structure occurs through a stock dividend, stock split, or reverse split. Common
control transactions are typically accounted for on a carryover basis, the historical EPS is not retroactively adjusted for such
stock issuances unless the transaction’s structure meets the criteria for a capital structure change (i.e. a stock dividend
or split).
●
Only
vested shares are included in diluted EPS.
6.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
In
a common control merger, the Company will not recognize goodwill or intangible assets.
7.
Segment Reporting
The
Company will assess its business operations and determine the requisite segments to recognize. All current and historical periods will
be adjusted to reflect these allocations. The Company presents its consolidated financial statements with segments for mobile fuel delivery
and energy infrastructure.
Common
Control Transactions and Equity Adjustments
As
noted above, on February 13, 2025, the Company executed a common control transaction as defined under ASC 805-50-15-6 through 15-9, Business
Combinations – Related Issues. In accordance with ASC 805-50-30-5, the transaction was accounted for using the carryover basis
of accounting, whereby the assets and liabilities of the transferred entity were recognized at their historical book values with no new
goodwill or gain recognized.
Although
the common control transaction was effective as of February 13, 2025, certain historical intercompany capital transactions and equity
issuances— such as investments in affiliates—were not fully eliminated or reclassified at the transaction date. These amounts
continued to reside on the individual ledgers of the respective legal entities as equity instruments or investment balances. In accordance
with ASC 805-50-45-2, transactions between entities under common control that are recognized at book value may result in adjustments
to equity, typically reflected in APIC.
F- 9
In
the future, the Company expects to record permanent equity reclassifications at the individual entity level to eliminate these historical
intercompany equity balances. These adjustments will not be processed as temporary consolidation-level eliminations but will instead
be reflected directly in APIC to present the economic substance of the transaction consistent with the principles of common control accounting.
This approach ensures that the consolidated financial statements do not reflect duplicative equity or investment balances and avoids
the continued need for recurring consolidation-level elimination entries.
These
equity adjustments had no impact on the Company’s consolidated net income, cash flows, or total stockholders’ deficit. The
Company may continue to evaluate and adjust legacy intercompany equity positions in future periods as part of its ongoing consolidation
process.
The
line item “Common Control Adjustments” presented within the consolidated statement of changes in stockholders’ deficit
represents reclassifications of historical intercompany equity balances resulting from prior transactions among entities under common
control. These are adjustments recorded directly to APIC and do not reflect third-party capital transactions.
Chief
Executive Officer Transition
On
February 14, 2025, in connection with the closing of the Next Holding acquisition, the Company accepted the resignation of Yehuda Levy
as Interim Chief Executive Officer. The Board of Directors subsequently appointed Michael D. Farkas as Chief Executive Officer, Director,
and Executive Chairman. Mr. Farkas, previously the Chief Executive Officer of Next Holding, is also the significant controlling stockholder
of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock.
Chief
Financial Officer Transition
On
February 14, 2025, in connection with the closing of the Next Holding acquisition, the Company accepted the resignation of Michael Handleman
as Chief Financial Officer and appointed Joel Kleiner as his successor.
Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
Liquidity
and Going Concern
As
reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, for the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company had:
●
Net
loss available to common stockholders of $ 86,406,431 ; and
●
Net
cash used in operations was $ 14,497,300
Additionally,
at December 31, 2025, the Company had:
●
Accumulated
deficit of $ 153,942,132
●
Stockholders’
deficit of $ 22,114,845 ; and
●
Working
capital deficit of $ 25,115,995
The
Company anticipates that it will need to raise additional capital immediately in order to continue to fund its operations. The Company
has relied on related parties for the debt based funding of its operations. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain
funds on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. There is also no assurance that the amount of funds the Company might raise will enable
the Company to complete its initiatives or attain profitable operations.
The
Company’s operating needs include the planned costs to operate its business, including amounts required to fund working capital
and capital expenditures. The Company’s future capital requirements and the adequacy of its available funds will depend on many
factors, including the Company’s ability to successfully expand to new markets, competition, and the need to enter into collaborations
with other companies or acquire other companies to enhance or complement its product and service offerings.
There
can be no assurances that financing will be available on terms which are favorable, or at all. If the Company is unable to raise additional
funding to meet its working capital needs in the future, it will be forced to delay, reduce, or cease its operations.
F- 10
We
manage liquidity risk by reviewing, on an ongoing basis, our sources of liquidity and capital requirements. The Company had cash on hand
of $ 384,140 at December 31, 2025.
The
Company has historically incurred significant losses since inception and has not demonstrated an ability to generate sufficient revenues
from the sales of its products and services to achieve profitable operations. In making this assessment we performed a comprehensive
analysis of our current circumstances including: our financial position, our cash flows and cash usage forecasts for the twelve months
ended December 31, 2026, and our current capital structure including equity-based instruments and our obligations and debts.
These
factors create substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within the twelve-month period subsequent
to the date that these financial statements are issued.
The
consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going
concern. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a basis that assumes the Company will continue as a going concern
and which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business.
Management’s
strategic plans include the following:
●
Expand
into new and existing markets (commercial and residential);
●
Obtain
additional debt and/or equity based financing for growth;
●
Collaborations
with other operating businesses for strategic opportunities; and
●
Acquire
other businesses to enhance or complement our current business model while accelerating our growth.
Note
2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles
of Consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly
owned subsidiaries. The Company consolidates entities where it has a controlling financial interest, as defined by ASC 810, “Consolidation”.
In
accordance with ASC 810-10, consolidation applies to:
●
Entities
with more than 50% voting interest, unless control is not with the Company; and
●
Variable
Interest Entities (VIEs), where the Company is the primary beneficiary, possessing both (i) power over significant activities and
(ii) the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits.
All
intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation per ASC 810-10-45. The Company continuously evaluates its investments
and relationships to assess consolidation requirements.
Business
Combinations, Asset Acquisitions, and Reverse Acquisitions
The
Company accounts for acquisitions in accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations,” and applicable SEC reporting requirements
under Regulation S-X, Rule 3-05 and Regulation S-K, Items 101 and 303. Transactions qualifying as business combinations are accounted
for under the acquisition method, while those classified as asset acquisitions follow the guidance in ASC 805-50. Additionally, the Company
evaluates whether a transaction qualifies as a reverse acquisition under ASC 805-40 and applies the appropriate accounting and disclosure
requirements.
Business
Combinations
For
transactions classified as business combinations, the Company:
●
Recognizes
and measures identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and noncontrolling interests at their fair values at the acquisition
date (ASC 805-20-25-1).
●
Records
goodwill as the excess of the fair value of consideration transferred over the fair value of net assets acquired, including any previously
held equity interests (ASC 805-30-30-1).
●
Expenses
acquisition-related costs as incurred, per ASC 805-10-25-23.
●
Uses
preliminary purchase price allocations, with adjustments permitted within the measurement period (not exceeding one year) per ASC
805-10-25-13. Adjustments beyond the measurement period are recorded in earnings.
Significant
judgments in fair value determinations include:
●
Intangible
asset valuations, based on estimates of future cash flows and discount rates.
●
Useful
life assessments, impacting amortization and financial results.
●
Contingent
consideration, which is remeasured at fair value through earnings per ASC 805-30-35-1.
F- 11
For
SEC registrants, Regulation S-X, Rule 3-05 may require audited financial statements of the acquired business if the acquisition is significant.
The determination of significance follows Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X, which considers investment, asset, and income tests.
Asset
Acquisitions
For
transactions classified as asset acquisitions under ASC 805-50, the Company:
●
Applies
the “screen test” to determine whether substantially all of the fair value of gross assets acquired is concentrated in
a single identifiable asset or group of similar assets (ASC 805-10-55-3A).
●
Allocates
the purchase price using a cost accumulation model, assigning costs to acquired assets based on their relative fair values (ASC 805-50-30-3).
●
Capitalizes
direct acquisition costs as part of the asset’s cost, unlike business combinations where such costs are expensed (ASC 805-50-25-1).
The
classification between business combinations and asset acquisitions requires significant judgment, particularly when applying the screen
test. Incorrect classification can materially impact:
●
The
recognition of goodwill (only in business combinations).
●
The
measurement and presentation of acquired assets and assumed liabilities.
●
The
Company’s financial position and results of operations.
Reverse
Acquisitions
A
reverse acquisition occurs when the entity that issues securities (the legal acquirer) is identified as the accounting acquiree, and
the entity whose equity interests are acquired (the legal acquiree) is identified as the accounting acquirer under ASC 805-40, “Reverse
Acquisitions.”
Accounting
for Reverse Acquisitions
●
The
legal acquiree (accounting acquirer) is treated as the continuing reporting entity, and its assets, liabilities, and operations are
measured at historical cost.
●
The
legal acquirer (accounting acquiree) is recognized at fair value, similar to a business combination.
●
No
goodwill is recognized, as the transaction is considered a capital reorganization rather than an acquisition of a business per ASC
805-40-30-2.
●
The
equity structure (common stock and additional paid-in capital) is adjusted to reflect that of the legal acquirer, but the retained
earnings balance is that of the accounting acquirer.

SEC Regulation S-X, Rule 3-05, and Regulation S-K, Items 101 and 303, the Company must disclose:
●
A
detailed description of the transaction, including how control was obtained.
●
A
comparative analysis of financial statements before and after the acquisition.
●
Pro
forma financial information in accordance with Regulation S-X, Article 11, showing the impact of the transaction as if it had occurred
at the beginning of the reporting period.
●
Changes
in governance, management, and operations post-acquisition.
For
SEC registrants, a reverse merger with a public shell company may also trigger “Super 8-K” reporting requirements under SEC
Form 8-K, Item 2.01, requiring disclosure within four business days of the transaction closing.
Regulatory
and Financial Reporting Considerations
For
SEC registrants, acquisitions may trigger additional disclosure and reporting requirements:
●
Regulation
S-X, Rule 3-05: Requires separate financial statements of the acquired business if it meets significance thresholds under Rule 1-02(w).
●
Regulation
S-K, Item 101: Requires disclosure of the impact of material acquisitions on the Company’s business operations.
●
Regulation
S-K, Item 303: Mandates discussion of the impact of acquisitions on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations
in Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A).
●
Regulation
S-X, Article 11: Requires pro forma financial statements if the acquisition is significant.
●
Form
8-K, Item 2.01: Immediate reporting requirements for material acquisitions, including reverse mergers.
The
Company continuously evaluates acquisitions, including reverse acquisitions, to ensure proper classification and compliance with ASC
805, SEC reporting requirements, and regulatory guidance.
F- 12
Segment
Reporting
The
Company follows ASC 280, Segment Reporting, which requires public entities to report financial and descriptive information about their
reportable operating segments.
ASC
280-10-50-1 states that an operating segment is a component of a public entity that:
●
Engages
in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses;
●
Has
operating results that are regularly reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), which is
our Chief Executive Officer to make decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment; and
●
Has
discrete financial information available.
Under
ASC 280-10-50-5, a public entity is required to report separately only those operating segments that meet certain quantitative thresholds.
However, as specified in ASC 280-10-50-11, if a company’s business activities are managed as a single operating segment and reviewed
on a consolidated basis, the company may report as a single segment. The Company has determined that it operates in two reportable segments,
as its CODM reviews the business as a whole rather than by distinct business components.
Application
of ASU 2023-07 – Segment Reporting
In
October 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements
to Reportable Segment Disclosures , which enhances segment disclosures by requiring public entities to disclose significant segment
expenses that are regularly provided to the CODM and used in assessing segment performance and resource allocation.
The
adoption of ASU 2023-07 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Use
of Estimates and Assumptions
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the financial statements, and the recognition of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may
differ from these estimates, and such differences could be material.
In
accordance with ASC 250-10-50-4, changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known and are accounted for prospectively.
The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, industry trends, and other relevant factors, incorporating both quantitative
and qualitative assessments that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances.
Significant
estimates for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 respectively, include:
●
Allowance
for doubtful accounts and other receivables
●
Inventory
reserves and classifications
●
Valuation
of loss contingencies
●
Valuation
of stock-based compensation
●
Estimated
useful lives of property and equipment
●
Impairment
of intangible assets
●
Implicit
interest rate in right-of-use operating leases
●
Uncertain
tax positions
●

Risks
and Uncertainties
The
Company operates in a highly competitive industry that is subject to intense market dynamics, shifting consumer demand, and economic
fluctuations. The Company’s operations are exposed to significant financial, operational, and strategic risks, including potential
business disruptions, supply chain constraints, and liquidity challenges.
In
accordance with ASC 275, “Risks and Uncertainties,” the Company evaluates and discloses risks that could materially affect
its financial condition, results of operations, and business outlook. Key factors contributing to variability in sales and earnings include:
1.
Industry Cyclicality (ASC 275-10-50-6) – The Company’s financial performance is affected by industry trends, seasonality,
and shifts in market demand.
2.
Macroeconomic Conditions (ASC 275-10-50-8) – Economic downturns, inflationary pressures, interest rate changes, and geopolitical
risks may impact consumer purchasing behavior and the Company’s revenue streams.
3.
Pricing Volatility (ASC 275-10-50-4) – The cost and availability of raw materials, supply chain disruptions, and competitive pricing
pressures can lead to fluctuations in gross margins and profitability.
F- 13
Given
these uncertainties, the Company faces challenges in accurately forecasting financial performance and may experience material risks affecting
liquidity, business continuity, and long-term strategic growth. The Company continuously assesses these risks and implements measures
to mitigate their potential impact.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The
Company accounts for financial instruments in accordance with FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements,
which establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires related disclosures. Fair value is defined as the price that would
be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement
date. The fair value measurement is based on the Company’s principal market or, if none exists, the most advantageous market for
the asset or liability.
Fair
Value Hierarchy
ASC
820 requires the use of observable inputs whenever available and establishes a three-tier hierarchy for measuring fair value:
●
Level
1 – Quoted market prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
●
Level
2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities
or inputs that are directly or indirectly observable.
●
Level
3 – Unobservable inputs that require significant judgment, including management assumptions and estimates based on available
market data.
The
classification of an asset or liability within the hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value
measurement. Level 3 valuations generally require more judgment and complexity, often involving a combination of cost, market, or income
approaches, as well as assumptions about market conditions, pricing, and other factors.
Fair
Value Determination and Use of External Advisors
The
Company assesses the fair value of its financial instruments and, where appropriate, may engage external valuation specialists to assist
in determining fair value. While management believes that recorded fair values are reasonable, they may not necessarily reflect net realizable
values or future fair values.
Financial
Instruments Carried at Historical Cost
The
Company’s financial instruments—including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses (including related
party balances)—are recorded at historical cost. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, the carrying amounts of these
instruments approximated their fair values due to their short-term maturities.
Fair
Value Option Under ASC 825
ASC
825-10, Financial Instruments, permits entities to elect the fair value option for certain financial assets and liabilities. This election
is made on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable unless a new election date occurs. If elected, unrealized gains and losses
are recognized in earnings at each reporting date. The Company has not elected the fair value option for any of its outstanding financial
instruments.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents and Concentration of Credit Risk
For
purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months
or less at the purchase date and money market accounts to be cash equivalents.
At
December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, the Company did no t have any cash equivalents.
The
Company is exposed to credit risk on its cash and cash equivalents in the event of default by the financial institutions to the extent
account balances exceed the amount insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), which is $ 250,000 .
At
December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, the Company did not experience any losses on cash balances in excess of FDIC insured limits.
F- 14
Investments
The
Company accounts for available-for-sale (AFS) debt securities in accordance with FASB ASC 320, Investments—Debt and Equity Securities.
These securities are recorded at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses recognized as a component of other comprehensive income
(OCI) unless deemed other-than-temporary, per ASC 320-10-35-1.
Recognition
of Gains, Losses, and Amortization
●
Realized
gains and losses, including impairments, are recorded in net income in accordance with ASC 320-10-35-25.
●
Cost
basis for sales is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method, per ASC 320-10-35-4.
●
Premiums
and discounts on AFS debt securities are amortized using the straight-line method over the security’s life, in accordance with
ASC 320-10-35-10.
Impairment
Assessment
The
Company evaluates AFS debt securities for other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) in accordance with ASC 320-10-35-33 to 35. The assessment
considers:
●
The
extent and duration of declines in fair value below amortized cost,
●
The
financial condition and creditworthiness of the issuer, and
●
The
Company’s intent and ability to hold the security until recovery.
If
an OTTI is identified, the impairment loss is recognized in earnings as the difference between the amortized cost and the fair value
of the security, per ASC 320-10-35-34. The new fair value becomes the adjusted cost basis, and subsequent recoveries are not recognized
in earnings (ASC 320-10-35-35). During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, there were no impairments taken.
Investment
Activity
For
the years ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, the Company received proceeds of $ 0 and $ 0 , respectively, from the sale and liquidation
of its investment portfolio.
Realized
losses, including bond premium amortization, were $ 0 and $ 0 for the years ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively.
Accounts
Receivable
The
Company accounts for accounts receivable in accordance with FASB ASC 310, Receivables. Receivables are recorded at their net realizable
value, which represents the amount management expects to collect from outstanding customer balances (ASC 310-10-35-7).
The
Company extends credit to customers based on an evaluation of their financial condition and other factors. The Company does not require
collateral, and interest is not accrued on overdue accounts receivable (ASC 310-10-45-4).
Allowance
for Doubtful Accounts
Management
periodically assesses the collectability of accounts receivable and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts as needed. The allowance
is determined based on:
●
A
review of outstanding accounts,
●
Historical
collection experience, and
●
Current
economic conditions (ASC 310-10-35-9).
Accounts
deemed uncollectible are written off against the allowance when determined to be uncollectible (ASC 310-10-35-10).
Applicability
of ASC 326 (“CECL”)
The
Company has assessed the applicability of ASC 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (CECL), which requires an expected credit
loss model for financial assets measured at amortized cost. However, ASC 326 primarily applies to financial institutions and entities
with long-term financing receivables.
Since
the Company’s accounts receivable are short-term trade receivables that do not meet the scope requirements of ASC 326-20-15-2,
it continues to apply the incurred loss model under ASC 310 for estimating credit losses.
The
following is a summary of the Company’s accounts receivable at December 31, 2025 and 2024:

Bad
debt expense (recovery) is recorded as a component of general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements
of operations.
Inventory
The
Company accounts for inventory in accordance with FASB ASC 330, Inventory. Inventory consists solely of fuel and is stated at the lower
of cost or net realizable value (“LCNRV”) using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method, as required by ASC 330-10-35-1.
Inventory
Valuation and Reserve Assessment
Management
assesses the recoverability of inventory each reporting period and establishes reserves for potential inventory write-downs when necessary.
The Company evaluates factors such as:
●
Market
conditions affecting fuel prices,
●
Net
realizable value based on estimated selling price, and
●
Inventory
turnover trends (ASC 330-10-35-2).
For
the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, the Company did no t record any provisions for inventory obsolescence or impairment.
At
December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had inventory of $ 609,861 and $ 126,400 , respectively.
Concentrations
The
Company evaluates and discloses significant concentrations of risk in accordance with FASB ASC 275-10, Risks and Uncertainties. These
risks may arise from customer concentrations, vendor reliance, geographic dependence, or other economic factors that could materially
impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.
A
concentration exists when a single customer, supplier, or market accounts for a significant portion (typically greater than 10%) of the
Company’s total revenues, accounts receivable, or vendor purchases (ASC 275-10-50-16).
Customer
and Sales Concentrations
The
Company’s revenue stream may be dependent on a limited number of key customers. A loss of any significant customer, a decline in
demand from such customers, or a deterioration in their financial condition could negatively impact the Company’s future revenues
and profitability.
Accounts
Receivable Concentrations
The
Company extends credit to customers based on their financial strength, payment history, and other relevant factors. A significant concentration
of accounts receivable from a limited number of customers could expose the Company to credit risk and potential collection issues. The
Company regularly evaluates the creditworthiness of its customers and may require advance payments, letters of credit, or other credit
enhancements to mitigate risks.
Vendor
and Supplier Concentrations
The
Company relies on a limited number of vendors for certain key materials or services. A disruption in supply, changes in pricing, or financial
instability of a major supplier could materially impact the Company’s ability to procure necessary materials, leading to increased
costs, delays in production, or operational disruptions. The Company continuously assesses vendor relationships and explores alternative
suppliers when necessary to mitigate supply chain risks.

Management’s
Risk Mitigation Strategies
To
address these risks, the Company implements the following strategies:
●
Diversification
of Customer Base – Actively seeking new customers to reduce reliance on a small number of key accounts.
●
Credit
Risk Management – Regularly reviewing customer creditworthiness and adjusting credit terms as necessary.
●
Supplier
Contingency Planning – Identifying alternative vendors to mitigate the impact of potential supply chain disruptions.
The
Company continuously monitors these risks and adjusts its business strategies to reduce its exposure to customer, credit, and supplier
risks, ensuring financial stability and operational continuity.
Property
and Equipment
Property
and equipment are recorded at cost, net of accumulated depreciation, in accordance with ASC 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment.”
Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
Repairs
and maintenance expenditures that do not materially extend the useful life of an asset are expensed as incurred. Significant improvements
or upgrades that increase the asset’s productivity, efficiency, or useful life are capitalized.
Upon
disposal or sale of property and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting
gain or loss is recognized in the statement of operations, in accordance with ASC 360-10-40-5.
The
Company evaluates the carrying value of property and equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset may
be impaired. If impairment indicators exist, the Company assesses recoverability based on the undiscounted future cash flows expected
from the use and disposition of the asset. If the carrying amount exceeds the estimated recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognized
in accordance with ASC 360-10-35-17.
See
note 3 for discussion of impairments of long lived assets.
Impairment
of Long-lived Assets including Internal Use Capitalized Software Costs
The
Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets, including identifiable intangible assets and internal-use capitalized software
costs, in accordance with FASB ASC 360-10-35-15, Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.
F- 17
An
impairment review is triggered when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset group may not be recoverable.
Factors considered include, but are not limited to:
●
Significant
changes in expected performance compared to prior forecasts,
●
Changes
in asset utilization, including discontinued or modified use,
●
Negative
industry or economic trends that impact asset value, and
●
Strategic
shifts in the Company’s business operations (ASC 360-10-35-21).
Impairment
Assessment Process
When
impairment indicators exist, the Company performs a recoverability test by comparing the undiscounted future cash flows expected to be
generated from the use and ultimate disposition of the asset group to its carrying amount (ASC 360-10-35-17).
●
If
the undiscounted cash flows exceed the carrying amount, no impairment is recognized.
●
If
the undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized, measured as the excess of the carrying
amount over the fair value of the asset (ASC 360-10-35-18).
Internal-Use
Software Considerations
For
internal-use capitalized software, impairment is assessed under ASC 350-40-35, which requires evaluation when:
●
A
software project is abandoned or significantly modified,
●
The
software is no longer expected to provide substantive economic benefit, or
●
The
software is expected to be replaced by newer technology.
Impairment
Results
For
the years ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $ 0 and $ 13,422 , respectively, related to various
equipment, an impairment loss of $ 3,929,161 and $ 0 , respectively, related to the impairment of certain project deposits, and an impairment loss of $ 4,606,664 and $ 0 , respectively, related to the
impairment of certain intangibles related to the acquisition of Stat-EI . The impairment
loss related to equipment has been recorded as a component of general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements
of operation and the impairment loss related to project deposits has been recorded under Impairment loss on project deposit in the accompanying
consolidated statements of operation.
See
Note 3 for further discussion of long-lived asset impairments.
Derivative
Liabilities
The
Company evaluates financial instruments containing characteristics of both liabilities and equity in accordance with FASB ASC 480, Distinguishing
Liabilities from Equity, and FASB ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging.
Accounting
for Derivative Liabilities
Derivative
liabilities are revalued at fair value at each reporting period, with changes in fair value recognized in the results of operations as
a gain or loss on derivative remeasurement (ASC 815-40-35-4). The Company uses a binomial pricing model to determine the fair value of
these instruments.
Conversion
and Extinguishment of Derivative Liabilities
When
a debt instrument with an embedded conversion option (e.g., convertible debt or warrants) is converted into shares of common stock or
repaid, the Company:
●
Records
the newly issued shares at fair value;
●
Derecognizes
all related debt, derivative liabilities, and unamortized debt discounts; and
●
Recognizes
a gain or loss on debt extinguishment, if applicable (ASC 470-50-40-2).
For
equity-based derivative liabilities (e.g., warrants) that are extinguished, any remaining liability balance is reclassified to additional
paid-in capital (ASC 815-40-35-9).
Reclassification
of Equity Instruments to Liabilities
Equity
instruments initially classified as equity may be reclassified as liabilities if they no longer meet equity classification criteria under
ASC 815-40-25. In such cases, they are remeasured at fair value on the date of reclassification, with changes recognized in earnings
(ASC 815-40-35-8).
F- 18
Derivative
Liability Balances
As
of December 31, 2025, and 2024, the Company had no derivative liabilities outstanding.
Original
Issue Discounts and Other Debt Discounts
The
Company accounts for original issue discounts (“OID”) and other debt discounts in accordance with FASB ASC 835-30, Interest—Imputation
of Interest. These discounts are recorded as a reduction of the carrying amount of the related debt and are amortized to interest expense
over the term of the debt using the effective interest method, unless the straight-line method is materially similar (ASC 835-30-35-2).
Original
Issue Discounts (OID)
For
certain notes issued, the Company may provide the debt holder with an OID, which is recorded as a debt discount,
reducing the face value of the note. The discount is amortized to interest expense over the term of the debt in the Consolidated Statements
of Operations.
Stock
and Other Equity Issued with Debt
The
Company may issue common stock or other equity instruments in connection with debt issuance. When stock is issued, it is recorded at
fair value and treated as a debt discount, reducing the carrying amount of the note. These discounts are amortized to interest expense
over the life of the debt (ASC 470-20-25-2).
The
combined debt discounts, including OID and stock-related discounts, cannot exceed the face amount of the debt (ASU 2020-06).
Debt
Issuance Costs
Debt
issuance costs, including fees paid to lenders or third parties, are capitalized as a debt discount and amortized to interest expense
over the life of the debt in accordance with ASC 835-30-45-1. These costs are presented as a direct deduction from the carrying amount
of the debt liability rather than as a separate asset (ASC 835-30-45-3).
Right
of Use Assets and Lease Obligations
The
Company accounts for right-of-use (ROU) assets and lease liabilities in accordance with FASB ASC 842, Leases. These amounts reflect the
present value of the Company’s estimated future minimum lease payments over the lease term, including any reasonably certain renewal
options, discounted using a collateralized incremental borrowing rate (ASC 842-20-30-1).
The
Company classifies its leases as either operating or finance leases based on the criteria outlined in ASC 842-10-25-2. The Company’s
leases primarily consist of operating leases, which are included as Right-of-Use Assets and Operating Lease Liabilities on the consolidated
balance sheet.
Short-Term
Leases
The
Company has elected the short-term lease exemption allowed under ASC 842-20-25-2, whereby leases with a term of 12 months or less are
not recorded on the balance sheet. Instead, lease payments are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Lease
Term and Renewal Options
In
determining the lease term, the Company evaluates whether renewal options are reasonably certain to be exercised, as required by ASC
842-10-30-1. Factors considered include:
●
The
useful life of leasehold improvements relative to the lease term,
●
The
economic performance of the business at the leased location,
●
The
comparative cost of renewal rates versus market rates, and
●
The
presence of any significant economic penalties for non-renewal (ASC 842-10-55-26).
If
a renewal option is deemed reasonably certain to be exercised, the ROU asset and lease liability reflect those additional future lease
payments. The Company’s operating leases contain renewal options with no residual value guarantees. Currently, management does
not expect to exercise any renewal options, which are therefore excluded in the measurement of lease obligations.
Discount
Rate and Lease Liability Measurement
Since
the implicit rate in the leases is not readily determinable, the Company applies an incremental borrowing rate that represents the rate
it would incur to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term and currency environment (ASC 842-20-30-3).
F- 19
Lease
Impairment
In
accordance with ASC 360-10-35, the Company evaluates ROU assets for impairment indicators whenever events or changes in circumstances
suggest the carrying amount may not be recoverable. No impairments of ROU assets were recognized for the years ended December 31, 2025,
and 2024.
See
Note 7 for details on third-party and related-party operating leases.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company recognizes revenue in accordance with FASB ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as amended by ASU 2014-09. Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the customer
in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services.
The
Company generates revenue from mobile fuel sales, which can be purchased as a one-time transaction or through a monthly membership. Revenue
from fuel sales is recognized at the time of delivery, and membership revenue is recognized at the end of each month, reflecting the
satisfaction of the performance obligation over time within a one-month membership cycle.
The
Company follows the five-step revenue recognition model outlined in ASC 606-10-05-4:
1.
Identify the Contract with a Customer
A
contract exists when the following criteria are met, per ASC 606-10-25-1:
●
The
contract creates enforceable rights and obligations between the Company and the customer.
●
The
contract has commercial substance (i.e., it affects the Company’s cash flows).
●
The
payment terms are identified, and the consideration is determinable.
●
It
is probable that the Company will collect the consideration in exchange for the goods or services transferred.
Contracts
for mobile fuel sales and memberships meet these criteria. Collectability is assessed based on historical customer payment trends and
credit risk in accordance with ASC 606-10-25-5.
2.
Identify the Performance Obligations in the Contract
A
performance obligation is a distinct good or service promised in the contract that is both capable of being distinct and distinct in
the context of the contract, per ASC 606-10-25-19.
The
Company has determined that its contracts, based on sales type, contain two distinct performance obligations:
●
Fuel
Sales – The delivery of fuel to a customer, with revenue recognized at the point of delivery.
●
Membership
Fees – Monthly membership services, with revenue recognized over time within a one-month membership cycle, as the customer
benefits from access to services throughout the period.
These
performance obligations are not bundled or combined, as each service is separately identifiable, in accordance with ASC 606-10-25-22.
3.
Determine the Transaction Price
The
transaction price is the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods or services to the
customer, per ASC 606-10-32-2.
The
Company’s transaction price considerations include:
●
Fixed
consideration – Prices are clearly stated and do not vary based on performance.
●
No
variable consideration – The Company does not formally offer refunds, rebates, or pricing incentives. During the years ended
December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, the Company granted insignificant discounts of less than 1% of total revenues.
●
No
financing component – Payments are made upon fuel delivery or at the end of the monthly membership cycle, per ASC 606-10-32-15.
4.
Allocate the Transaction Price to Performance Obligations
For
contracts with a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is allocated to that obligation, per ASC 606-10-32-40.
If
a contract included multiple performance obligations, the transaction price would be allocated based on relative standalone selling prices
(“SSP”) as required by ASC 606-10-32-28. The standalone selling price is determined based on observable sales data.
The
Company’s fuel sales and memberships each have a distinct standalone selling price, eliminating the need for allocation adjustments.

Recognize Revenue When (or As) Performance Obligations Are Satisfied
Revenue
is recognized at the point in time when control over a product or service is transferred to the customer, in accordance with ASC 606-10-25-30.
●
Fuel
Sales: Control transfers at the time of fuel delivery, at which point revenue is recognized.
●
Membership
Fees: Revenue is recognized over time within a one-month cycle, as customers receive continuous access to fuel delivery services
throughout the month.
The
Company does not recognize revenue based on customer invoicing dates; instead, it ensures revenue recognition aligns with the actual
satisfaction of performance obligations per ASC 606-10-25-31.
Principal
vs. Agent Considerations
In
evaluating whether the Company acts as a principal or an agent in its fuel sales transactions, the Company applies the guidance in ASC
606-10-55-36 through 55-40. The Company has determined that it is the principal in these transactions based on the following factors:
●
The
Company controls the fuel before it is transferred to the customer.
●
The
Company has discretion in pricing, as it sets the selling price of fuel.
●
The
Company is responsible for fulfilling the obligation of delivering fuel to the customer.
●
The
Company is exposed to inventory risk, as it procures and holds fuel before sale.
Based
on these factors, the Company recognizes revenue on a gross basis, as it is the principal in fuel sales transactions in accordance with
ASC 606-10-55-37A.

Contract
Liabilities (Deferred Revenue)
Contract
liabilities represent amounts received from customers before the satisfaction of performance obligations, which are subsequently recognized
as revenue upon fulfillment.
Under
ASC 606-10-45-2, the Company discloses contract balances related to deferred revenue when applicable. Any prepayments received for fuel
deliveries or memberships are classified as contract liabilities until revenue recognition criteria are met.
As
of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had $ 0 deferred revenue.

Cost
of Sales
Cost
of sales consists of direct expenses incurred in the delivery of the Company’s products and services. These costs primarily include:
●
Fuel
Costs – The cost of procuring fuel for resale, including fluctuations in market pricing, supplier agreements, and transportation
expenses.
●
Driver
Wages and Benefits – Compensation, payroll taxes, and employee benefits associated with the Company’s delivery personnel.
Cost
of sales is recognized in the same period as the related revenue in accordance with FASB ASC 705, Cost of Sales and Services. The Company
regularly evaluates its cost structure to ensure efficient fuel procurement and operational cost management.
F- 21
Income
Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method prescribed by FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred
tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences of differences between the financial reporting and tax bases
of assets and liabilities. These amounts are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply in the periods when temporary differences
reverse (ASC 740-10-30-8).
The
effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax balances is recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment
date (ASC 740-10-45-4).
Uncertain
Tax Positions
The
Company evaluates uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740-10-25, which requires that a tax position be recognized in the financial
statements only if it is more likely than not (greater than 50% likelihood) to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities.
As
of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, the Company had no uncertain tax positions that qualified for recognition or disclosure
in the financial statements (ASC 740-10-50-15).
The
Company also recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in other expense in the consolidated statement of operations
(ASC 740-10-45-25). No interest and penalties were recorded for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Valuation
of Deferred Tax Assets
The
Company’s deferred tax assets include certain future tax benefits, such as net operating losses (NOLs), tax credits, and deductible
temporary differences. Under ASC 740-10-30-5, a valuation allowance is required if it is more likely than not that some portion, or all,
of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The
Company reviews the realizability of deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis, or more frequently if circumstances warrant, considering
both positive and negative evidence (ASC 740-10-30-16).
Factors
Considered in Valuation Allowance Assessment
The
Company evaluates multiple factors in determining whether a valuation allowance is necessary, including:
●
Historical
earnings trends (cumulative pre-tax income or losses in the most recent three-year period)
●
Future
financial projections, including expected taxable income based on long-term estimates of business performance and market conditions
●
Statutory
carryforward periods for net operating losses and other deferred tax assets
●
Prudent
and feasible tax planning strategies that could impact the realization of deferred tax assets
●
Nature
and predictability of temporary differences and the timing of their reversal
●
Sensitivity
of financial forecasts to external factors such as commodity prices, market demand, and operational risks
While
cumulative three-year losses are a strong indicator that a valuation allowance may be needed, ASC 740-10-30-23 states that a valuation
allowance determination is not solely based on past losses—all available positive and negative evidence must be considered.
Valuation
Allowance Determination
At
December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, the Company recorded a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets, resulting
in a net carrying amount of $ 0 . This determination was based on cumulative losses in recent years and the lack of sufficient positive
evidence to support the realization of deferred tax assets in the near term (ASC 740-10-30-24).
The
Company will continue to evaluate its valuation allowance each reporting period and will recognize deferred tax assets in the future
if sufficient positive evidence emerges to support their realization.
Advertising
Costs
Advertising
costs are expensed as incurred, in accordance with ASC 720-35, “Advertising Costs.” These costs are recognized as operating
expenses in the period in which they are incurred and are classified within general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements
of operations.
The
Company does not capitalize direct-response advertising costs, as they do not meet the criteria for deferral under ASC 720-35-25-1.
The
Company recognized $ 346,223 and $ 164,296 in marketing and advertising costs during the years ended December 31 2025 and 2024, respectively.
F- 22
Stock-Based
Compensation
The
Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation,” using
the fair value-based method. Under this guidance, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award
and is recognized over the requisite service period, typically the vesting period.
ASC
718 establishes accounting standards for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. It also
applies to transactions where an entity incurs liabilities based on the fair value of its equity instruments or liabilities that may
be settled using equity instruments.
In
compliance with ASU 2018-07, the Company applies the fair value method for equity instruments granted to both employees and non-employees,
aligning non-employee share-based payment accounting with that of employees. The fair value of stock-based compensation is determined
as of the grant date or the measurement date (i.e., when the performance obligation is completed) and is recognized over the vesting
period in accordance with ASC 718.
The
Company determines the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, considering the following key assumptions:
●
Exercise
price – The agreed-upon price at which the option can be exercised.
●
Expected
dividends – The anticipated dividend yield over the expected life of the option.
●
Expected
volatility – Based on historical stock price fluctuations.
●
Risk-free
interest rate – Derived from U.S. Treasury securities with similar maturities.
●
Expected
life of the option – Estimated based on historical exercise patterns and contractual terms.
Additionally,
the Company follows the guidance under ASU 2016-09, which introduced amendments to simplify certain accounting aspects of share-based
compensation, including:
●
The
treatment of tax benefits and tax deficiencies in income tax reporting.
●
The
option to recognize forfeitures as they occur rather than estimating them upfront.
●
Cash
flow classification for certain tax-related transactions.
The
Company continues to evaluate and apply the latest ASUs and interpretive releases related to stock-based
compensation to ensure compliance with evolving financial reporting requirements.
Stock
Warrants
In
connection with certain financing transactions (debt or equity), consulting arrangements, or strategic partnerships, the Company may
issue warrants to purchase shares of its common stock. These standalone warrants are not puttable or mandatorily redeemable by the holder
and are classified as equity instruments in accordance with ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.”
The
fair value of warrants issued for compensation purposes is measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, consistent with the
guidance in ASC 718-10-30. However, if warrants meet the definition of derivative liabilities under ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,”
fair value is determined using a binomial pricing model or other appropriate valuation techniques, as required by ASC 815-40-15.
Accounting
Treatment of Warrants
●
Warrants
issued in conjunction with common stock issuance are initially recorded at fair value as a reduction in Additional Paid-In Capital
(APIC), in accordance with ASC 815-40-25.
●
Warrants
issued for services are recorded at fair value and expensed over the requisite service period or immediately upon issuance if no
service period exists, as per ASC 718-10-25.
●
Warrants
classified as liabilities due to settlement features or pricing adjustments are remeasured at fair value each reporting period, with
changes recognized in earnings, following ASC 815-40-35.
Basic
and Diluted Earnings (Loss) per Share and Reverse Stock Split
The
Company computes earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share.” The calculation
of basic EPS follows the two-class method and is determined by dividing net earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding, including certain other shares committed to be issued.
Basic
Earnings Per Share (EPS)
Basic
EPS is calculated using the two-class method, as prescribed by ASC 260-10-45-60, and is computed as follows:
●
Net
earnings available to common shareholders represent net earnings to common shareholders, adjusted for the allocation of earnings
to participating securities.
●
Losses
are not allocated to participating securities in accordance with ASC 260-10-45-61.
●
The
denominator includes common shares outstanding and certain other shares committed to be issued, such as restricted stock and restricted
stock units (“RSUs”), for which no future service is required.
F- 23
Diluted
Earnings Per Share (EPS)
Diluted
EPS is calculated under both the two-class method and the treasury stock method, and the more dilutive result is reported, as required
by ASC 260-10-45-45.
●
Diluted
EPS is computed by taking the sum of:
○
Net
earnings available to common shareholders
○
Dividends
on preferred shares
○
Dividends
on dilutive mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred shares
○
Divided
by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and certain other shares committed to be issued, plus all dilutive common
stock equivalents during the period, such as:
■
Stock
options
■
Warrants
■
Convertible
preferred stock
■
Convertible
debt
●
Preferred
shares and unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid
or unpaid) qualify as participating securities under the two-class method, per ASC 260-10-45-62.
Net
Loss Per Share Considerations
In
computing net loss per share, unvested shares of common stock are excluded from the denominator, as required by ASC 260-10-45-48.
Participating
Securities & Share-Based Compensation
Restricted
stock and RSUs granted as part of share-based compensation contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends and dividend equivalents, respectively.
Therefore:
●
Before
the requisite service is rendered for the right to retain the award, these instruments meet the definition of a participating security
under ASC 260-10-45-59.
●
RSUs
granted under an executive compensation plan, however, are not considered participating securities because the rights to dividend
equivalents are forfeitable (ASC 718-10-25).
The
following potentially dilutive equity securities outstanding as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 were as follows:

Warrants
included as common stock equivalents represent those that are fully vested and exercisable. See Note 8.
Based
on the potential common stock equivalents noted above at December 31, 2025, the Company has sufficient authorized shares of common stock
( 500,000,000 ) to settle any potential exercises of common stock equivalents.
On
July 25, 2024, the Company effectuated a 1:2.5
reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock. As a result, all share and per share amounts have been retroactively restated to the earliest period presented
in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Loans
#1, #2, #6-#18, #20, and #30-31 represent merchant cash advance (“MCA”) agreements entered into by the Company. Under these
arrangements, the Company receives a specified gross advance amount, net of origination fees, discounts, and other transaction costs,
in exchange for a fixed repayment obligation that typically exceeds the net funds received.
F- 29
Repayment
terms generally range from 21 to 78 weeks and are structured as daily or weekly fixed remittances. The Company accounts for these arrangements
as debt in accordance with ASC 470, recognizing the full repayment obligation as a liability, with related issuance costs amortized over
the term of the loan.
To
manage liquidity and meet near-term obligations, the Company has, in several instances, refinanced existing MCA loans by entering into
new MCA agreements with the same or alternative lenders. These refinancing arrangements often involve:
● Using
the proceeds of a new advance to pay off the remaining balance of a prior loan, including
any unpaid fees or penalties;
● Rolling
multiple MCA balances into a single new obligation; or
● Structuring
overlapping repayment terms, which may temporarily reduce daily outflows but increase aggregate
repayment obligations.
While
refinancing may provide short-term liquidity relief, it often results in higher cumulative borrowing costs due to upfront fees and the
compounding effect of new obligations. These refinancings are typically executed close to the maturity of the original MCA or earlier
if cash flow pressures arise.
The
Company utilizes MCA financing primarily to support working capital and general operations. Given the short-term nature, fee structure,
and recurring refinancing activity, these MCA obligations are classified as short-term debt. The Company continuously evaluates its funding
options to manage cash flow and covenant compliance under these agreements.
Loans
#3 and #4
In
November 2024, the Company executed an asset purchase agreement with Yoshi, Inc. In connection with this transaction, in February 2025,
the Company acquired various vehicles as part of a growth and expansion plan. The Company has access to and utilizes these vehicles for
mobile fueling as part of its ongoing operations. Since the transaction did not close until February 2025, the payments made/due as of
December 31, 2024, have been classified as a component of deposit on future asset purchase totaling $ 2,035,283 . In 2025, $ 1,229,000 of
this amount was reclassified to vehicles, and the remaining value was expensed.
As
part of the consideration due to the seller, the Company was required to pay $ 1,250,000 , plus an additional $ 250,000 , between six and
nine months from the transaction date.
As
of December 31, 2024, the Company had paid $ 650,000 , however an additional $ 850,000 remained due and outstanding as a condition for closing
the asset purchase.
During
the year ended December 31, 2025, the remaining balance was paid.
Loan
#5
In
December 2024, the Company executed a two-month loan for $ 2,500,000 .
The Company was required to pay transaction fees of $ 440,000 .
The Company received the entire $ 2,500,000
as proceeds, rather than the transaction fees being netted from the closing. These fees totaling $ 440,000
were recorded both as an original discount and accrued expenses. In the event of default, the note would accrue interest at 21 %.
In February 2025, the Company obtained an additional 30-day extension, with a new maturity date occurring in March 2025, in exchange
for $ 200,000 .
The loan was repaid in March 2025. In relation to this extension , the noteholder
was issued 41,437 shares of Common Stock at a fair value of $ 150,000 .
Loan
#21
During
the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2024, the Company entered into and amended three unsecured promissory notes totaling $ 2,420,000
(see below for Notes #1, #2 and #3) with a former related party at the time of the transaction. These notes were initially issued with
original issue discounts and additional common stock issuances classified as debt discounts totaling $ 1,361,400 . Of the total debt discounts
recognized, $ 1,192,637 was amortized to interest expense in 2023, the remaining balance of $ 168,763 was amortized to interest expense
in 2024.
F- 30
Initial
Issuance Terms
● Note #1: Issued
in April 2023 with a face value of $ 1,500,000 , net proceeds of $ 1,210,000 after $ 290,000 in discounts and transaction fees. The Company
committed to issue 100,000 shares of common stock as additional interest, of which 40,000 were issued at inception ($ 256,000 ) and 60,000
if an extension would be needed. The extension was granted in October 2023 and the Company recognized additional interest expense of
$ 291,000 . The Company recognized total debt discounts of $ 546,000 . Upon amendment of terms, the Company evaluated the changes under ASC
470-50-40, Debt Modifications and Extinguishments , and determined the modification constituted a substantial change, resulting
in a loss on debt extinguishment of $ 291,000 .
● Note #2: Issued in September 2023 with a face value of $ 600,000 , net proceeds of $ 511,100 after $ 88,900 in cash discounts and fees. The Company
also issued 60,000 shares of common stock ($ 406,500 ), resulting in total debt discounts and issuance costs of $ 495,400 amortized to interest
expense over the life of the note.
● Note #3: Issued in October 2023 with a face value of $ 320,000 and net proceeds of $ 272,000 after an original issue discount of $ 48,000 .
The Company agreed to issue 104,000 shares of common stock valued at $ 539,760 ; however, due to the 9.99 % ownership blocker provision,
these shares were classified as common stock issuable in the consolidated balance sheets. Total debt discount was limited to $ 320,000
in accordance with ASC 835-30-25-2 which limits discounts to the face amount of the instrument.
Global
Amendment and Default Conversion Features
On
January 17, 2024, the Company and the lender executed a global amendment to the terms of Notes #1, #2, and #3:
● In the event of default, the lender may convert the unpaid principal into shares of the Company’s common stock at the greater of
(i) $ 3.08 and (ii) the lower of the 10-day average volume weighted average price or a floor price of $ 1.75 .
● A
cross-default clause was included such that default on any of the three notes would constitute
a default across all related instruments.
● The
Company evaluated the amended conversion feature and determined that in the event of default,
the instruments may contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation and fair value recognition
under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging . The Company determined that there was no event
of default. Given the floor price, the Company determined no derivative liability would exist,
and no derivative liabilities were required to be recorded.
Extension-Related
Stock Issuances
● In
January 2024, the Company was obligated to issue 72,000 common shares (valued at $ 270,000 ,
$ 3.75 /share) as consideration for extending the maturities of Notes #2 and #3 to April 19,
2024.
● On
May 9, 2024, the Company further extended all three notes to July 17, 2024, resulting in
an obligation to issue an additional 66,000 shares (valued at $ 407,550 , $ 6.18 /share).
● In
total, the Company had an obligation to issue 138,000 shares of common stock with a fair
value of $ 677,500 .
● Due
to the 9.99 % equity cap, these shares were not immediately issued and were recognized as
additional interest expense.
Conversion
to Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
On
August 16, 2024, the Company and the lender agreed to convert all remaining obligations under Notes #1, #2, and #3 into equity. The total
principal converted was $ 2,420,000 . The lender exercised a 150 % penalty interest feature, increasing the total debt conversion amount
to $ 3,630,000 . As a result, the Company issued 363,000 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock with a stated value of $ 10 per
share. The fair value of the preferred stock was determined based on its as-converted value into common stock as follows:

The

Common
Stock Issuable – 242,000 Shares
In
connection with the initial debt issuances and amendments discussed above, the Company had previously classified 242,000 common shares
as common stock issuable due to the 9.99 % ownership blocker. Upon conversion of all outstanding debt on August 16, 2024, these shares
were formally issued to the lender. Since the shares had already been reflected in equity, there was no incremental impact to stockholders’
deficit upon issuance.
Loans
#22-#26
In
October 2024, the Company entered into five unsecured, non-interest-bearing notes with an aggregate principal amount of $ 5,000,000 and
a contractual term of 18 months. The notes were issued with an OID of $ 100,000 , resulting in net cash proceeds of $ 4,900,000 at inception.
Although
the notes had a stated maturity in 2026 , the Company repaid the full $ 5,000,000 principal amount in February 2025, prior to maturity.
The remaining unamortized debt discount of $ 83,547 was amortized on an accelerated basis as interest expense through the repayment date.

In
January 2024, the Company acquired 100 % of the equity interests in STAT in exchange for $ 5,500,000 . STAT has patented technology that
will be used in the Company’s expected future operations. Prior to the acquisition, the operations of STAT were insignificant.
In
