ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) describes the matters that we consider to be important to understanding the results of our operations for the one-year period ended December 31, 2024 and our capital resources and liquidity as of December 31, 2024. Use of the terms “RMCO,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” in this discussion refer to Royalty Management Holding Corporation and its subsidiaries. Our fiscal year begins on January 1 and ends on December 31. We analyze the results of our operations for the last year, including the trends in the overall business followed by a discussion of our cash flows and liquidity, our credit facility, and contractual commitments. We then provide a review of the critical accounting judgments and estimates that we have made that we believe are most important to an understanding of our MD&A and our consolidated financial statements. We conclude our MD&A with information on recent accounting pronouncements which we adopted during the year, as well as those not yet adopted that are expected to have an impact on our financial accounting practices.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the “Selected Consolidated Financial Data” and our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, all included elsewhere herein.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Year Ended December 31, 2024 compared to Year Ended December 31, 2023.
Revenues.
Revenues for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 were $807,089 and $488,520, respectively. The increase is due to increased volume for our environmental services subsidiary.
Expenses.
Total cost of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 were $22,699 and $16,594, respectively. The increase is due to increased volume for our environmental services subsidiary.
Total Operating Expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 were $1,096,748 and $777,600, respectively. The main reason for the increase to operating expenses were due to additional public company listing fees in addition to professional fees to keep the company compliant.
Total Other Income and Expense for the year ended December 31, 2024 were other income of $198,097, mostly from interest income, income from investment in FUB Mineral which is accounted for on the equity method of accounting, the fair value adjustments of warrant liabilities, and interest expense.
Total Other Income and Expense for the year ended December 31, 2023 were other expense of $807,971. The increase was primarily due to a gain on fair value of warrants liabilities, an increase in interest income, and a decrease in interest expense due to all convertible notes being converted at time of business combination.
Financial Condition.
Total Assets as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 amounted to $15,040,664 and $15,040,123, respectively. The increase in assets was due to an increase in accounts and interest receivables.
Total Liabilities as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 amounted to $1,414,940 and $3,926,243, respectively. The primary driver for the decrease in liability balance was the conversions of accrued wages and notes payable to preferred stock shares. See Note 12 for additional information.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company’s primary use of positive cash flow has been to fund corporate holding and public company costs. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had retained earnings of $1,231,588. The Company has limited financial resources. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had a working capital deficit of $236,740, a cash balance of $114,138 and cash flow from operations totaling $690,443. Management believes that the Company has sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations through at least the first quarter of 2026. In order to execute on its investment and growth plans, the Company will likely be required to raise additional proceeds, through the issuance of equity or debt securities. See Note 11 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for more information on its Debt Facilities.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND COMMERCIAL COMMITMENTS
Administrative Services Arrangement
The Company’s Sponsor agreed, commencing from the date that the Company’s securities are first listed on NASDAQ through the earlier of the Company’s consummation of a Business Combination and its liquidation, to make available to the Company certain general and administrative services, including office space, utilities and administrative services, as the Company may require from time to time. The Company agreed to pay the Sponsor $10,000 per month for these services. At the date of business combination, the services agreement terminated. As of the year ended December 31, 2024, $120,000, is accrued and owed under this agreement.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Our Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to establish accounting policies and make estimates that affect amounts reported in our Consolidated Financial Statements. Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, which is incorporated by reference into this MD&A, describes the significant accounting policies we use in our Consolidated Financial Statements.
An accounting estimate requires assumptions and judgments about uncertain matters that could have a material effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements. Estimates are made under facts and circumstances at a point in time, and changes in those facts and circumstances could produce results substantially different from those estimates. The most significant accounting policies and estimates and their related application are discussed below.
Warrant Liability
The Company accounts for the Warrants in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815 under which the Warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as liabilities. Accordingly, the Company classifies the Warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjust the Warrants to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in our statement of operations. The Private Warrants and the Public Warrants for periods where no observable traded price was available are valued using a Monte Carlo simulation. For periods subsequent to the detachment of the Public Warrants from the Units, the Public Warrant quoted market price was used as the fair value as of each relevant date.
