Business Overview

Vivakor, Inc.

(“Vivakor” or the “Company”) is a socially responsible operator, acquirer and developer of technologies and assets in the oil and gas industry, as well as related environmental solutions.

Beginning in the third quarter of 2025, the Company revised its segment structure to better reflect the way management evaluates operating performance and allocates resources.

As a result, the Company now reports three operating and reportable segments, transportation and logistics, terminaling and storage services, and supply and trading, compared with two segments reported in prior periods.

The change primarily reflects the growth and increased operational significance of our supply and trading activities and enhances transparency into our operating performance.

These segments work together to support the reliable movement of crude oil from production areas to key market hubs across the Permian Basin, Eagle Ford Basin, and mid-continent regions.

Our transportation and logistics services include the trucking and pipeline transportation of crude oil and related hydrocarbon products.

Trucking operations are based in the DJ Basin, the STACK play in Central Oklahoma, and the Permian and Eagle Ford Basins in Texas, where our crude-oil trucking fleet transports volumes from production sites to our terminaling, storage, and blending facilities.

We also operate the 45-mile Omega Gathering Pipeline in Blaine County, Oklahoma, which connects to the Plains STACK Pipeline and provides direct access to the Cushing, Oklahoma storage hub.

These assets offer flexible and scalable crude-oil movement solutions that support our terminaling and supply activities across multiple producing regions.

Our terminaling and storage segment includes crude oil facilities in Colorado City, Texas, and Delhi, Louisiana, strategically located hubs at major pipeline intersections that support the receipt, handling, blending, storage, and distribution of crude oil and petroleum products.

These terminals play a critical role in our midstream network and support our supply and trading activities.

Our supply and trading segment enhances our commercial reach by purchasing, aggregating, marketing and reselling crude oil, condensate, natural gas liquids and related hydrocarbon products.

Operating as a core component of our integrated midstream platform, the segment connects production, transportation, terminaling, and end-market delivery.

The Company is also investing in future growth through the development of Remediation Processing Centers (“RPCs”), with our first facility under construction at the San Jacinto River & Rail Park in Harris County, Texas.

Once operational, the RPC is expected to process oilfield solid wastes into economically valuable byproducts such as condensate, propane, and butane and will include an adjacent truck wash facility.

The remediation segment will be reported separately and incorporated into operations upon commencement of commercial activity.

Overall, our business strategy is centered on building an integrated midstream and environmental services platform that supports operational efficiency, enhances market access for customers, and positions the Company for long-term growth.

On October 1, 2024, we acquired Endeavor Crude, LLC, a Texas limited liability company, Equipment Transport, LLC, a Pennsylvania limited liability company, Meridian Equipment Leasing, LLC, a Texas limited liability company, and Silver Fuels Processing, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (collectively with their subsidiaries, the “Endeavor Entities”), making those entities wholly-owned subsidiaries, which gave us operations in several different areas of the midstream oil and gas industry.

Our management and Board of Directors is currently reviewing all aspects of the Endeavor Entities’ assets and operations, including the synergies they have with our pre-acquisition operations and the debt related to certain of those assets and operations.

In the event our management and Board of Directors determines some of those assets or operations do not fit organizationally with our other assets and operations then we may seek strategic alternatives with those certain assets and/or operations.

On July 30, 2025, we sold all of the issued and outstanding limited liability company membership interests in Meridian Equipment Leasing, LLC, a Texas limited liability company, and Equipment Transport, LLC, a Pennsylvania limited liability company (the “Water Trucking Sale”), pursuant to that certain Membership Interest Purchase Agreement of even date therewith by and between Vivakor Transportation, LLC, as Seller, and Jorgan Development, LLC, as Buyer (the “Water Trucking Sale Agreement”), in exchange for $11,058,235 USD paid in 11,058 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of Vivakor, Inc., which shares will no longer be considered outstanding or be entitled to the relevant annual dividend.

The Buyer of such entities is controlled by James Ballengee, our Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer.

The sale was subject to a one-time post-closing purchase price adjustment based on the sold subsidiaries’ financial results as reflected on Vivakor’s Form 10-Q Quarterly Report for the period ended June 30, 2025, however, no adjustment was required, and the consideration remained unchanged.

Prior to consummating the Water Trucking Sale, we transferred certain assets and liabilities between companies and certain affiliates (namely James Ballengee and entities he controls) to comply with pre-existing debt covenants, facilitate crude oil trucking operations, and minimize potential operational disruption to our crude oil-focused businesses.

In connection with the Water Trucking Sale, and among other agreements as further set forth in the Water Trucking Sale Agreement, (i) affiliates of Vivakor, and the Ballengee Family Office Affiliates, amended and restated that certain Transition Services Agreement dated October 1, 2024, to account for new and additional services to be provided by various parties thereto, (ii) the parties amended and restated that certain Secured Promissory Note dated August 15, 2022, by and between Vivakor, as Borrower, and Jorgan Development, LLC, as Lender, reducing the payments to Lender thereunder from ninety-nine percent (99%) of Monthly Free Cash Flow, as defined therein, to fifty percent (50%) of Monthly Free Cash Flow, and (iii) Mr.

Ballengee and certain Ballengee Family Office Affiliates voluntarily suspended the right to receive dividends and distributions upon Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of Vivakor, Inc.

held by them for the period from August 1, 2025 to January 1, 2026.

(“Vivakor” or the “Company”) is an integrated provider of midstream services and environmental solutions within the oil and gas industry.

The Company operates through three reportable segments:

transportation and logistics, terminaling and storage services, and supply and trading.

These segments support the movement, storage, and marketing of crude oil and related hydrocarbon products across key producing regions, including the Permian Basin and mid-continent regions.

The Company’s transportation and logistics segment includes trucking and pipeline transportation operations for, including the Omega Gathering Pipeline in Blaine County, Oklahoma, which serves as a direct connect to the Plains STACK Pipeline and provides access to the Cushing, Oklahoma storage hub.

The terminaling and storage segment includes crude oil storage and blending facilities in Colorado City, Texas and Delhi, Louisiana.

The supply and trading segment purchases, aggregates, markets, and resells crude oil, condensate, natural gas liquids, and related hydrocarbon products.

The Company is also developing an environmental services business through the planned deployment of Remediation Processing Centers (“RPCs”), are designed to recover hydrocarbons from oil contaminated soils and related waste streams.

The deployment plan begins with the construction of a RPC in Harris County, Texas, currently scheduled for the third quarter of 2026.

On October 1, 2024, the Company acquired certain entities (the “Endeavor Entities”), expanding its midstream operations.

During 2025, the Company completed the sale of certain non-core assets acquired in this transaction as part of a strategic review.

On July 30, 2025, the Company sold certain non-core business units of Meridian Equipment Leasing, LLC and Equipment Transport, LLC, both subsidiaries included with the Endeavor Entities, in order to streamline operations and focus on core midstream transportation, terminaling, and environmental processing activities.

In August 2024, we launched supply and trading activities, and during the third quarter of 2025, management determined that these activities had expanded sufficiently in scope and scale to meet the criteria for a reportable operating segment under ASC 280.

As a result, beginning with this quarterly period, we now report three operating segments:

transportation and logistics, terminaling and storage services, and supply and trading.

Revenue generated from supply and trading were previously reported under Terminaling and Storage in 2025 and Product Revenue in 2024.

Beginning in the third quarter of 2025,

the Company revised its segment reporting structure to better reflect how the chief operating decision maker evaluates performance

and allocates resources across the business.

The Company now reports three operating and reportable segments:

transportation and

logistics, terminaling and storage services, and supply and trading.

Revenue generated from supply and trading were previously

reported under Terminaling and Storage and Transportation and Logistics in the first two quarters of 2025.

The Company’s chief operating decision maker evaluates segment performance primarily based on segment gross profit.

Prior-period segment information has been recast, where applicable, to conform to the current presentation.

Concurrent with this change, we no longer report “Corporate and Other” as a separate category, as these activities do not represent an operating segment and are not separately reviewed by our chief operating decision maker.

Corporate expenses, including executive and shared services personnel, stock-based compensation, professional fees, and other overhead costs, are now allocated to the operating segments or reflected in consolidated results, as appropriate.

Our chief operating decision maker uses segment gross profit as the primary measure of performance for evaluating operating results and making decisions regarding the allocation of capital and resources.

The change in segment structure aligns our external reporting with the manner in which management now views and manages the business following the expansion of our commercial and trading platform.

The results discussed below reflect the updated segment structure for all current-period activity.

Prior-period segment information has been recast, where applicable, to conform to the current presentation.

The change in reportable segments did not impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements for prior periods other than reclassifications to conform prior period segment information to the current presentation.

Results of Consolidated Operations for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024

For the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 we realized revenues of $16,981,385 and $15,916,423, respectively, representing an increase of $1,064,962 or 6.7%.

The increase in revenue is primarily attributed to higher activity within our transportation and logistics and terminaling and storage services segments realized through the operations of our newly acquired Endeavor Entities’ businesses, which were acquired through our business combination, which closed on October 1, 2024.

Cost of Revenue

For the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, our cost of revenues consisted primarily of costs associated with selling the purchase and sale of crude oil and related hydrocarbon products as well as the operations from our newly acquired businesses in transportation and logistics and terminaling and storage services, which was acquired through our business combination which closed on October 1, 2024.

For the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, costs of revenue were $12,261,886 and $14,190,073, respectively, representing a decrease of $1,928,187 or 13.59%.

The decrease in the cost of revenue is primarily attributed to the cost of goods sold for our transportation and logistics and terminaling and storage services segments realized through the operations from our newly acquired Endeavor Entities’ businesses, which were acquired through our business combination, which closed on October 1, 2024.

For the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 we realized gross profit of $4,719,499 and $1,726,350, respectively, representing an increase of $2,993,149 or 173%.

The gross profit increased in proportion to the revenue and costs of revenue related activity within our transportation and logistics and terminaling and storage services segments realized through the operations of our newly acquired Endeavor Entities’ businesses, which were acquired through our business combination, which closed on October 1, 2024.

Operating Expenses

For the three months ended September 30, 2025

and 2024, we realized operating expenses of $13,750,500 and $3,684,987, which represents an increase of $10,065,513, or 273%.

was primarily driven by the inclusion of operating costs from the Endeavor Entities acquired on October 1, 2024, as well as a $5.0

million legal reserve recorded during the quarter for matters determined to be probable and reasonably estimable.

Interest Expense and Loss on Conversion of Debt

For the three months ended September 30, 2025

and 2024, we realized total interest expense of $14,439,961 and $641,244, which represents an increase of $13,798,717, or 2,152%.

increase was primarily driven by refinancing and forbearance arrangements entered into during the period, which resulted in the recognition

of unamortized original issue discount and deferred financing cost write-offs, along with default-related fees.

Interest expense also

increased due to finance lease and debt obligations assumed in the acquisition of the Endeavor Entities on October 1, 2024, as well

as the effects of the Maxus Capital Group forbearance agreement.

In addition to higher interest expense, we recognized a loss on conversion of debt of $9,828,868 during the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $177,550 during the three months ended September 30, 2024.

The loss resulted from (i) the conversion of $1.1 million of outstanding convertible debt into common stock at contractually discounted conversion prices significantly below market value, creating a non-cash charge for the excess fair value of shares issued, and (ii) the recognition of an estimated derivative liability associated with the remaining convertible notes due to the lender’s ability to convert the debt at discounted default-based conversion prices.

This derivative liability is reflected within Other Liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet and totaled $8,728,527 as of September 30, 2025.

Unrealized Gain/Loss on Marketable Securities

For the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we reported an unrealized loss of $170,674 and an unrealized gain of $826,377, which represents an increase of $977,051.

Our marketable securities were considered to be traded on an active market and were accounted for at a fair value based on the quoted prices in the active markets resulting in aggregate unrealized gains or losses as noted above.

Cost of revenues

The Supply & Trading Segment generates revenue from the purchase, blending, and resale of crude oil and related hydrocarbon products.

Revenues were $8.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $15.9 million in 2024, a decrease of $7.1 million, or 44%, primarily due to lower sales volumes and the absence of related-party transactions that contributed to higher revenues in the prior year.

Revenue generated from supply and trading were previously reported under terminaling and storage in 2025 and Product Revenue in 2024.

Cost of revenues decreased 57%, from $14.2 million

in 2024 to $6.1 million in 2025, largely reflecting the decrease of in total revenues for the same period.

As a result, segment gross profit increased to $2.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $1.7 million in 2024, an increase of $1.1 million, or 62%.

Crude-oil sales values within this segment continue to be influenced by domestic benchmark pricing and quality differentials associated with blended crude streams, while profitability is driven primarily by blend economics, sourcing costs, and market demand for specific crude qualities.

Results of Consolidated Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 we realized revenues of $83,421,122 and $48,118,936, respectively, representing an increase of $35,302,186 or 221.79%.

Results of Consolidated Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, revenues were $19,458,110 and $37,340,291, respectively, representing a decrease of $17,882,181, or 47.89%.

The decrease in revenue was primarily attributable to the July 2025 divestiture of Meridian Equipment Leasing, LLC and Equipment Transport, LLC.

Excluding the impact of the 2025 divestitures, the Company’s earnings and cash flows from its midstream business operations are primarily affected by market conditions, commodity price fluctuations, and crude oil production levels within the Company’s operating regions, which influence throughput volumes, transportation activity, storage utilization, and trading margins.

Cost of Revenue

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, our cost of revenues consisted primarily of costs associated with selling the purchase and sale of crude oil and related hydrocarbon products as well as the operations from our newly acquired businesses in transportation and logistics and terminaling and storage services, which was acquired through our business combination which closed on October 1, 2024.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the costs of revenue were $69,363,520 and $44,213,635, respectively, representing an increase of $25,149,885 or 177.24%.

The increase in the cost of revenue is primarily attributed to the cost of goods sold for our transportation and logistics and terminaling and storage services segments realized through the operations from our newly acquired Endeavor Entities’ businesses, which were acquired through our business combination, which closed on October 1, 2024.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 we realized gross profit of $14,057,602 and $3,905,301, respectively, representing an increase of $10,152,301 or 588.08%.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, cost of revenues was $13,734,880 and $32,581,857, respectively, representing a decrease of $18,846,977, or 57.85%.

Cost of revenues primarily consists of costs associated with the Company’s transportation and logistics operations, terminaling and storage services, and crude oil supply and trading activities, and generally fluctuates based on operating activity levels, throughput volumes, and commodity trading volumes.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, gross profit was $5,723,230 and $4,758,434, respectively, representing an increase of $964,796, or 20.28%.

The increase in gross profit was primarily attributable to improved margins within the Company’s core midstream operations, supported by fee-based commercial arrangements and take-or-pay contracts with minimum volume commitments.

In addition, the Company’s supply and trading activities continued to contribute meaningful revenues during the quarter, although these activities generally generate lower margins due to the high-volume nature of the business.

Operating Expenses

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025

and 2024, we realized operating expenses of $36,307,795 and $10,333,274, which represents an increase of $25,974,521, or 704.87%.

increase was primarily driven by the inclusion of operating costs from the Endeavor Entities acquired on October 1, 2024, as well

as a $5.0 million legal reserve recorded during the quarter for matters determined to be probable and reasonably estimable.

Interest Expense and Loss on Conversion of Debt

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025

and 2024, we realized total interest expense of $20,007,869 and $1,565,231, which represents an increase of $18,442,638, or 2,876.07%.

The increase was primarily driven by refinancing and forbearance arrangements entered into during the period, which resulted in the recognition

of unamortized original issue discount and deferred financing cost write-offs, along with default-related fees.

Interest expense also

increased due to finance lease and debt obligations assumed in the acquisition of the Endeavor Entities on October 1, 2024, as well

as the effects of the Maxus Capital Group forbearance agreement.

In addition to higher interest expense, we recognized a loss on conversion of debt of $9,828,868 during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $0 on September 30, 2024.

The loss reflects (i) the conversion of a portion of outstanding convertible debt into common stock at contractually discounted conversion prices significantly below market value, resulting in a non-cash charge for the excess fair value of shares issued, and (ii) the recognition of a derivative liability associated with the remaining convertible notes due to the lender’s ability to convert the debt at similarly discounted prices.

This derivative liability is reflected within Other Liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet and totaled $8,728,527 as of September 30, 2025.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, operating expenses were $8,148,496 and $11,200,915, respectively, representing a decrease of $3,052,419, or 27.25%.

The decrease in operating expenses was primarily attributable to lower depreciation and amortization expense resulting from the July 2025 divestiture of Meridian Equipment Leasing, LLC and Equipment Transport, LLC, as well as changes in estimated useful lives of certain fixed assets during the 2026 period.

These decreases were partially offset by increased legal and accounting expenses and the establishment of an allowance for expected credit losses during the 2026 period.

Interest Expense

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, total interest expense, including related-party interest expense, was $2,013,411 and $1,184,198, respectively, representing an increase of $829,213, or 234.85%.

The increase in interest expense was primarily attributable to refinancing and forbearance arrangements entered into during the period, including the amortization of original issue discounts, deferred financing costs, and default-related fees.

Interest expense also increased due to finance lease and debt obligations assumed in connection with the acquisition of the Endeavor Entities on October 1, 2024.

Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Marketable Securities

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we reported an unrealized loss of $249,080 and an unrealized gain of $743,739, which represents a decrease of $992,819, or 120.14%.

Segment Operating Results for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024

Cost of revenues totaled $20.6 million, resulting in gross profit of $10.0 million.

Current-period results reflect the first full operating cycle under Company ownership, driven by crude-oil trucking operations in the Permian, Eagle Ford, DJ Basin, and STACK play, as well as activity on the Omega Gathering Pipeline.

Revenues in the transportation and logistics segment decreased primarily due to reduced service activities and a more concentrated customer base following the July 2025 divestiture of certain non-core operations.

Revenues in the Supply & Trading Segment were $47.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $31.0 million in 2024, an increase of $16.9 million, or 55%, driven by higher third-party sales volumes and expanded commercial activity.

Related-party revenues decreased from $17.1 million in the prior-year period to $2.2 million, a decline of $14.9 million, or 87%, due to the completion of prior-year related-party arrangements that did not recur in 2025.

Revenue generated from supply and trading were previously reported under terminaling and storage in 2025 and product revenue in 2024.

Cost of revenues increased 9%, from $44.2 million in 2024 to $48.1 million in 2025, reflecting higher crude-oil purchase volumes and changes in sourcing mix associated with increased third-party transactions, partially offset by the reduction in related-party purchases.

Gross profit decreased to $2.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $3.9 million in 2024, a decline of $1.9 million, or 48%, primarily due to margin compression on blended crude-oil sales and shifts in market differentials during the period.

Segment results continue to be influenced by domestic benchmark pricing and quality differentials associated with blended crude streams, while profitability is determined largely by sourcing economics, blend margins, and demand for specific hydrocarbon products.

Revenues in the supply and trading segment increased primarily due to higher volumes under the Company’s crude oil and condensate purchase and resale activities.

Gross profit decreased primarily due to the high-volume, low-margin nature of supply and trading activities, as well as commodity price volatility and market pricing differentials affecting crude oil sales during the period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have historically suffered net losses and cumulative negative cash flows from operations, and as of September 30, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $148.1 million.

As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had a working capital deficit of approximately $62.3 million and $101.5 million, respectively.

As of September 30, 2025, we had cash of approximately $1.2 million, of which $0.9 million is restricted cash.

In addition, we have obligations to pay approximately $36.6 million of debt within one year of the issuance of these financial statements.

These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1,191,766 and $3,676,992 which includes $892,124 and $3 million as restricted cash, respectively.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, our net cash provided by operating activities was mainly comprised of net effect of the consolidated net loss of $54,358,617 and $6,983,978, and our depreciation and amortization of $15,735,409 and $3,062,416.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we realized stock-based compensation of $1,179,223 and $1,626,409 and stock-based compensation – consultant of $1,206,000 and $0 in lieu of using cash.

We also experienced $15.9 million of non-cash interest charges, a $9.8 million loss on conversion of debt, and a $1.2 million loss on the disposition of assets.

Working capital changes also contributed to operating cash flows, most notably a $16.3 million increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses, partially offset by increases in accounts receivable and prepaid expenses.

In the prior-year period, the modest operating cash inflow largely reflected significantly lower non-cash charges and a smaller working capital impact.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $1.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, driven primarily by $2.4 million of proceeds from the sale of property and equipment, partially offset by $0.7 million of divestiture-related cash returned.

In contrast, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company used $2.4 million in investing activities related to equipment purchases for the remediation processing centers, wash plant facilities, and a pipeline extension.

Net cash used in financing activities totaled $8.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

This reflected substantial payments on notes payable and finance lease obligations totaling $28.5 million, partially offset by $15.3 million of proceeds from third-party loans and $4.7 million of proceeds from related-party loans.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, financing activities provided $2.1 million, driven by borrowings and proceeds from the sale of common stock.

The Company did not capitalize any interest during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $1.0 million of capitalized interest during the same period in 2024.

Although the Company had no firm contractual commitments for capital expenditures as of September 30, 2025, management anticipates approximately $1.5 million of additional expenditures related to the continued development of its Texas remediation and wash plant facilities.

Our ability to continue to access capital could be affected adversely by various factors, including general market and other economic conditions, interest rates, the perception of our potential future earnings and cash distributions, any unwillingness on the part of lenders to make loans to us and any deterioration in the financial position of lenders that might make them unable to meet their obligations to us.

If we cannot raise capital through public or private debt financings, equity offerings, or other means, our ability to grow our business may be negatively affected.

In such case, we may need to suspend site and plant construction or further acquisitions until market conditions improve.

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to minimal cash usage during the comparable 2025 period.

Operating cash flows during the 2026 period were primarily impacted by the Company’s net loss and working capital changes, including increases in accounts receivable, partially offset by non-cash expenses including depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, and non-cash interest expense.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, amounts due under related-party commercial agreements were offset against approximately $1.1 million outstanding under a related-party note payable pursuant to existing offset arrangements between the parties.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company had approximately $5.3 million outstanding under its accounts receivable factoring arrangement with B1 Bank.

During the quarter, B1 Bank applied approximately $1.8 million of restricted cash maintained by the Company against amounts outstanding under the facility.

Investing Activities

There were no investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2026.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, investing activities primarily consisted of approximately $1.0 million related to the manufacturing of the Company’s remediation processing centers (“RPCs”), as well as capital expenditures associated with wash plant facilities and pipeline infrastructure projects, partially offset by approximately $1.5 million of proceeds received from the sale of vehicles and trailers.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, primarily attributable to proceeds received from loans and notes payable.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, financing activities included approximately $6.3 million of proceeds from the issuance of notes payable and other financing arrangements, partially offset by approximately $6.6 million of repayments on notes payable and finance lease liabilities.

Liquidity Outlook

Although the Company had no firm contractual commitments for capital expenditures as of March 31, 2026, management expects to continue investing in the development of its Texas remediation and wash plant facilities as market conditions and available capital permit.

The Company expects to continue funding operations and strategic growth initiatives through a combination of operating cash flows, financing activities, and capital management initiatives.

The Company’s ability to access additional capital will depend on a variety of factors, including market conditions, operating performance, and capital market availability.

Management continues to evaluate opportunities to enhance liquidity and support ongoing operations and development activities.
