−Removed: Immediately following the ESGEN Business Combination, the Primary Sellers
−Removed: owned 83.8 % of the Common Stock of the registrant through their Zeo Class V Common Stock that have voting interests.
−Removed: The Voting Agreement
−Removed: constitutes contemporaneous written evidence of an agreement to vote a majority of the Primary Sellers’ shares of the registrant
−Removed: Accordingly, the Primary Sellers retain majority control through the voting of their units in conjunction with the Voting
−Removed: Agreement immediately prior to the ESGEN Business Combination and their shares following the ESGEN Business Combination and, therefore,
−Removed: there is no change of control before or after the ESGEN Business Combination.
−Removed: This conclusion is appropriate even though there was no
−Removed: relationship or common ownership or control between Sunergy and ESGEN prior to the ESGEN Business Combination.
−Removed: Accordingly, the ESGEN
−Removed: Business Combination should be accounted for in accordance with the guidance for common control transactions in ASC 805-50.
−Removed: Additional factors that were considered include the following:
−Removed: Since the ESGEN Business Combination, the Board has been comprised of one individual designated by ESGEN and five individuals designated by Sunergy.
−Removed: Since the ESGEN Business Combination, management of the Company has been the existing management at Sunergy immediately prior to the ESGEN Business Combination.
−Removed: The individual that was serving as the chief executive officer and chief financial officer of Sunergy’s management team immediately prior to the ESGEN Business Combination continues substantially unchanged upon completion of the ESGEN Business Combination.
−Removed: For common control transactions that include the transfer of
−Removed: a business, the reporting entity is required to account for the transaction in accordance with the procedural guidance in ASC 805-50.
−Removed: The C Corporation (ESGEN) is considered to be a substantive entity, the LLC (OpCo) is a business and VIE, and the C Corporation is considered
−Removed: to be the accounting acquirer since it is the primary beneficiary of the LLC.
−Removed: In a transaction that is a combination of entities under
−Removed: common control, the acquirer (ESGEN) should recognize the acquired entity (OpCo and Sunergy) on the same basis as the entities’
−Removed: common parent.
−Removed: NOTE 2 - LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN
−Removed: As of March 31, 2025, the Company had approximately $ 3.5 million
−Removed: of working capital including $ 2.9 million of cash and cash equivalents.
−Removed: Management has assessed the going concern assumptions of the Company
−Removed: during the preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements.
−Removed: The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements
−Removed: have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal
−Removed: course of business.
−Removed: Historically, the Company’s primary source of funding to support operations has been cash flows from operations.
−Removed: NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
−Removed: Basis of Presentation and principles of Consolidation
−Removed: The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial
−Removed: statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S.
−Removed: GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
−Removed: Accordingly, they do not include
−Removed: all of the information and notes required by U.S.
−Removed: GAAP for complete financial statements.
−Removed: In the opinion of management, all adjustments
−Removed: (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
−Removed: These statements should
−Removed: be read in conjunction with Zeo’s audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 as included with the
−Removed: Company’s Form 10-K filed with the SEC on May 27, 2025.
−Removed: The results reported in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial
−Removed: statements are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year.
−Removed: Reclassification
−Removed: Certain amounts from prior period financial statements
−Removed: have been reclassified to align with the presentation used in the current condensed consolidated financial statements for comparative
−Removed: These reclassifications had no effect on the Company’s previously reported results of operations.
−Removed: An adjustment
−Removed: has been made to the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2024, to match this current
−Removed: year’s presentation of noncash financing lease expense.
−Removed: This change in classification does not affect previously reported cash
−Removed: flows from operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
−Removed: Use of Estimates
−Removed: The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements
−Removed: in conformity with US GAAP requires it to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
−Removed: and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
−Removed: and expenses for the reporting period.
−Removed: Some of the more significant estimates include fair value of preferred shares, fair value of assets
−Removed: acquired and liabilities assumed in asset acquisitions, share-based compensation, fair value of warrant liabilities, redemption value
−Removed: of non-controlling interest, realizability of deferred tax assets, subsequent realizability of intangible assets, depreciation and amortization
−Removed: periods and collectability of accounts receivable.
−Removed: Due to the uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results could differ from
−Removed: those estimates which could have a material effect on the financial condition and results of operations in future periods.
−Removed: Company bases its estimates and assumptions on historical experience and other factors, including
−Removed: the current economic environment and on various other judgements that it believes to be reasonable
−Removed: under the circumstances.
−Removed: The Company adjusts such estimates and assumptions when facts and
−Removed: circumstances dictate.
−Removed: Changes in those estimates resulting from continuing changes in the
−Removed: economic environment could have a material effect on the financial condition and results
−Removed: of operations in future periods.
−Removed: Segment Information
−Removed: Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which
−Removed: separate discrete financial information is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), in deciding
−Removed: how to allocate resources and assess performance.
−Removed: The CODM reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for the purposes
−Removed: of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance.
−Removed: Accordingly, the Company operates and manages its business as one operating
−Removed: and reportable segment.
−Removed: (See Note 19)
−Removed: Cash and Cash Equivalents
−Removed: The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with
−Removed: original maturities of three months or less from the purchase date to be cash equivalents.
−Removed: The Company maintains its cash in checking
−Removed: and savings accounts.
−Removed: Income generated from cash held in savings accounts is recorded as interest income.
−Removed: The carrying value of the Company’s
−Removed: savings accounts is included in cash and cash equivalents and approximates the fair value.
−Removed: Accounts receivable, net of allowance for credit losses
−Removed: Accounts receivable is presented at the invoiced receivable amounts,
−Removed: less any allowance for any potential expected credit loss amounts, and do not bear interest.
−Removed: The Company estimates allowance for credit
−Removed: losses based on the creditworthiness of each customer, historical collections experience, forward looking information and other information
−Removed: including the aging of the receivables.
−Removed: The majority of our customers lease or finance their purchase and installation of solar panels
−Removed: through various financing companies.
−Removed: The financing companies remit payment to the Company typically within 3 weeks after installation.
−Removed: The Company is not deemed a borrower with these financing agreements and as a result is not subject to any of the terms of the financing
−Removed: transaction between the financing company and the customer.
−Removed: The following represents a roll forward of the allowance for credit
−Removed: losses as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024:
−Removed: Allowance for credit losses, beginning of the period
−Removed: Provision for credit losses
−Removed: ( 2,525,100 )
−Removed: Allowance for credit losses, as of the end of the period
−Removed: Significant judgement is involved in determination of the collectability
−Removed: of accounts receivable.
−Removed: Management assesses the reasonability of collectability of accounts receivable on a quarterly basis to record
−Removed: the allowance for credit losses.
−Removed: Contract assets
−Removed: Contract assets costs include prepaid installation costs incurred prior
−Removed: to completion of installations of solar systems and accrued revenues for which the invoicing criteria have not been met.
−Removed: Contact assets
−Removed: include the cost of engineering, permits, governmental fees, other related solar installation costs and accrued revenues of $ 577,398 and
−Removed: $ 64,202 as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
−Removed: These costs are charged to Cost of goods sold when each installation
−Removed: is completed.
−Removed: The following table summarizes the change in contract assets:
−Removed: Contract asset, beginning of the period
−Removed: Cost of goods sold recognized during the period
−Removed: ( 4,915,064 )
−Removed: Additions to contract assets prior to completion of performance obligation
−Removed: Contract assets, as of the end of the period
−Removed: Prepaid expenses and other current assets
−Removed: Prepaid expenses and other current assets consist of employee
−Removed: advances, advanced sales commissions, prepaid insurance, and other current assets.
−Removed: Note receivable
−Removed: The Company records notes receivable when it extends credit or financing
−Removed: to related parties or third parties.
−Removed: The Company evaluates notes receivable for collectability at each reporting period under the current
−Removed: expected credit loss (CECL) model, in accordance with ASC 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (“ASC 326”).
−Removed: necessary, an allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded to reflect potential losses.
−Removed: As of December 31, 2024, we evaluated the need
−Removed: for an allowance for credit loss using the guidelines set forth in ASC 326, and have determined this note is fully collectible and, therefore,
−Removed: we have not recorded an allowance against the note receivable balance.
−Removed: Concentration of credit risk
−Removed: Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to
−Removed: concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable.
−Removed: The Company maintains its cash and cash
−Removed: equivalent balances in highly rated financial institutions, which at times may exceed federally insured limits.
−Removed: The amounts over these
−Removed: insured limits as of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024 were $ 2,644,103 and $ 5,384,115 , respectively.
−Removed: The Company mitigates this concentration
−Removed: of credit risk by monitoring the credit worthiness of the financial institutions.
−Removed: No losses have been incurred to date on any deposits.
−Removed: The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers’
−Removed: financial condition and also monitors the financial condition of the financial counterparties that finance customer transactions and generally
−Removed: does not require collateral.
−Removed: For customers who finance their systems through a lease product, the Third Party Operator (TPO) of the lease
−Removed: product is the contracted customer with the Company.
−Removed: Where the Company has a concentration of credit risk, it is with these TPO customers.
−Removed: At March 31, 2025, the Company had one customer who exceeded 10% of accounts receivable.
−Removed: Their balances were $ 2,481,952 .
−Removed: At December 31,
−Removed: 2024, the Company had two customers who exceeded 10% of accounts receivable.
−Removed: Their balances were $ 3,192,077 and $ 2,306,096 .
−Removed: For the three
−Removed: months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had four and two customers, respectively, who exceeded 10% of revenue recognized.
−Removed: revenue recognized was $ 2,125,281 , $ 1,318,939 , $ 2,021,499 and $ 1,810,484 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and $ 12,022,995 and
−Removed: $ 2,549,042 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, respectively.
−Removed: Advertising and Marketing
−Removed: The Company charges the costs of advertising to expense as incurred.
−Removed: For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company incurred $ 54,686 and $ 45,268 , respectively, of advertising and marketing
−Removed: Inventories are primarily comprised of solar panels and other related
−Removed: items necessary for installations and service needs.
−Removed: Inventories are accounted for on a first-in-first-out basis and are measured at the
−Removed: lower of cost or net realizable value, where cost is determined using a weighted-average cost method.
−Removed: When evidence exists that the net
−Removed: realizable value of inventory is lower than its cost, the difference is recognized as cost of goods sold in the condensed consolidated
−Removed: statements of operations in the period identified.
−Removed: As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, inventory was $ 847,395 and $ 872,470 , respectively.
−Removed: Property, equipment and other fixed assets, net
−Removed: Property, equipment and other fixed assets are carried at cost less
−Removed: accumulated depreciation and includes expenditures that substantially increase the useful lives of existing property and equipment.
−Removed: repairs, and minor renovations are charged to expense as incurred.
−Removed: When property and equipment is retired or otherwise disposed of, the
−Removed: related costs and accumulated depreciation are removed from their respective accounts, and any difference between the sale proceeds and
−Removed: the carrying amount of the asset is recognized as a gain or loss on disposal in the condensed consolidated Statements of Operations.
−Removed: Software that is developed for internal use and is accounted for accordance
−Removed: with ASC 350 , Intangibles, Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software .
−Removed: Qualifying costs incurred to develop internal-use software
−Removed: are capitalized when (i) the preliminary project stage is completed, (ii) management has authorized further funding for the completion
−Removed: of the project and (iii) it is probable that the project will be completed and perform as intended.
−Removed: These capitalized costs include compensation
−Removed: for employees who develop internal-use software and external costs related to development of internal-use software.
−Removed: Capitalization of
−Removed: these costs ceases once the project is substantially complete and the software is ready for its intended purpose.
−Removed: Internally developed
−Removed: software is amortized using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life.
−Removed: All other expenditures, including those incurred to
−Removed: maintain an internal-use software’s current level of performance, are expensed as incurred.
−Removed: When these assets are retired or disposed
−Removed: of, the cost and accumulated amortization thereon are removed, and any resulting gain or losses are included in the condense consolidated
−Removed: statements of operations.
−Removed: Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over
−Removed: the estimated useful lives of the assets, which is five years , across all asset classes.
−Removed: The estimated useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed
−Removed: at each year-end, with the effect of any changes in estimates accounted for prospectively.
−Removed: All depreciation expense is included with depreciation
−Removed: and amortization in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
−Removed: Impairment of long-lived assets
−Removed: Management reviews each asset or asset group for impairment whenever
−Removed: events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable, and at least annually.
−Removed: impairment charges were recorded by the Company during the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024.
−Removed: Business Combinations
−Removed: The Company accounts for an acquisition as a business combination if
−Removed: the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction constitute a business in accordance with ASC Topic 805.
−Removed: Such acquisitions
−Removed: are accounted using the acquisition method by recognizing the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed,
−Removed: and any non-controlling interest in the acquired business, measured at their acquisition date fair values.
−Removed: Where the set of assets acquired and liabilities assumed doesn’t
−Removed: constitute a business, it is accounted for as an asset acquisition and the individual assets and liabilities are recorded at their respective
−Removed: relative fair values corresponding to the consideration transferred.
−Removed: Goodwill is recognized and initially measured as any excess of the
−Removed: acquisition-date consideration transferred in a business combination over the acquisition-date amounts recognized for the net identifiable
−Removed: assets acquired.
−Removed: Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances
−Removed: change that would more likely than not result in an impairment of goodwill.
−Removed: First, the Company assesses qualitative factors to determine
−Removed: whether or not it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount.
−Removed: If the Company concludes
−Removed: that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the Company conducts a quantitative
−Removed: goodwill impairment test comparing the fair value of the applicable reporting unit with its carrying value.
−Removed: If the carrying amount of
−Removed: the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, the Company recognizes an impairment loss in the condensed consolidated
−Removed: statements of operations for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit.
−Removed: The Company performs
−Removed: its annual goodwill impairment test at December 31 of each year.
−Removed: There was no goodwill impairment for the three months ended March
−Removed: 31, 2025, and 2024.
−Removed: Intangible assets subject to amortization
−Removed: Intangible assets include tradenames, customer lists, order backlog
−Removed: and non-compete agreements.
−Removed: Amounts are subject to amortization on a straight-line basis over the estimated period of benefit and are
−Removed: subject to annual impairment consideration.
−Removed: Costs incurred to renew or extend the term of a recognized intangible asset, such as the acquired
−Removed: tradename, are capitalized as part of the intangible asset and amortized over its revised estimated useful life.
−Removed: Intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events
−Removed: or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the intangible assets may not be recoverable.
−Removed: Conditions that would necessitate
−Removed: an impairment assessment include a significant decline in the observable market value of an asset, a significant change in the extent
−Removed: or manner in which an asset is used, or any other significant adverse change that would indicate that the carrying amount of an asset
−Removed: or group of assets may not be recoverable.
−Removed: The Company evaluates the recoverability of intangible assets by comparing their carrying amounts
−Removed: to future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the intangible assets.
−Removed: If such intangible assets are considered to be
−Removed: impaired, the impairment recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the intangible assets exceeds the fair value
−Removed: of the assets.
−Removed: The Company determines fair value based on discounted cash flows using a discount rate commensurate with the risk inherent
−Removed: in the Company’s current business model for the specific intangible asset being valued.
−Removed: No impairment charges were recorded for
−Removed: the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024.
−Removed: The Company evaluates the contracts it enters into to determine whether
−Removed: such contracts contain leases at inception.
−Removed: A contract contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of identified
−Removed: property, plant or equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
−Removed: At commencement, contracts containing a lease are further
−Removed: evaluated for classification as an operating or finance lease where the Company is a lessee.
−Removed: When the arrangements include lease and non-lease
−Removed: components, the Company accounts for them as a single lease component.
−Removed: Operating Leases
−Removed: A lease for which substantially all the benefits and risks incidental
−Removed: to ownership remain with the lessor is classified by the lessee as an operating lease.
−Removed: Operating leases are included in the line items
−Removed: right-of-use (“ROU”) operating lease asset, current portion of obligations under operating leases, and obligations under operating
−Removed: leases, non-current in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
−Removed: ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying
−Removed: asset for the lease term and obligations under lease represents its obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease.
−Removed: For operating
−Removed: leases, the Company measures its lease obligations based on the present value of the total lease payments not yet paid.
−Removed: These payments
−Removed: are then discounted based on the more readily determinable of the rate implicit in the lease or the Company’s incremental borrowing
−Removed: rate, which is the estimated rate the Company would be required to pay for a collateralized borrowing equal to the total lease payments
−Removed: over the term of the lease.
−Removed: The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at lease commencement date
−Removed: in determining the present value of lease payments.
−Removed: The Company measures ROU assets based on the corresponding lease obligation adjusted
−Removed: for payments made to the lessor at or before the commencement date, and initial direct costs it incurs under the lease.
−Removed: The Company begins
−Removed: recognizing lease expense when the lessor makes the underlying asset available to the Company.
−Removed: Lease expenses for lease payments is recognized
−Removed: on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
−Removed: For leases with a lease term of less than one year (short-term
−Removed: leases), the Company has elected not to recognize an obligation or ROU asset on its condensed consolidated balance sheet.
−Removed: recognizes the lease payments as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
−Removed: Short-term lease costs are immaterial to its condensed
−Removed: consolidated statements of operations and cash flows.
−Removed: Finance leases
−Removed: Leases that transfer substantially all of the benefits and risks incidental
−Removed: to the ownership of assets are accounted for as finance leases as if there was an acquisition of an asset and incurrence of an obligation
−Removed: at the inception of the lease.
−Removed: Lease cost for finance leases where the Company is the lessee includes the amortization of the ROU asset,
−Removed: which is amortized on a straight-line basis and recorded to depreciation and amortization and interest expense on the finance lease obligation,
−Removed: which is calculated using the effective interest method and recorded to interest expense on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements

+Added: Not Yet Adopted
+Added: In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09,
+Added: “ Income Taxes (Topic 740):
+Added: Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures ,” which enhances the transparency and decision usefulness
+Added: of income tax disclosures by requiring;

−Removed: Finance lease ROU assets are amortized over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the terms of the respective
−Removed: If the Company is reasonably certain to exercise the option to purchase the underlying asset at the end of lease term, the finance
−Removed: lease ROU assets are amortized to the end of useful life of the assets on a straight-line basis.
−Removed: Warrant Liabilities
−Removed: The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments, including issued
−Removed: share purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant
−Removed: to ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815-40”).
−Removed: The classification of derivative instruments, including whether
−Removed: such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is reassessed at the end of each reporting period.
−Removed: The Company accounts
−Removed: for the Public Warrants (as defined in Note 12) in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40 under which the Warrants do not
−Removed: meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as liabilities.
−Removed: Accordingly, the Company classifies the Warrants as liabilities
−Removed: at their fair value and adjusts the Warrants to fair value at each reporting period.
−Removed: This liability is subject to re-measurement at each
−Removed: balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
−Removed: The quoted market price is utilized as the fair value as of each relevant date.
−Removed: Revenue Recognition
−Removed: The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue
−Removed: from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”).
−Removed: The Company applies judgment in the determination of performance obligations
−Removed: in accordance with ASC 606.
−Removed: Performance obligations in a contract are identified based on the services that will be transferred to the
−Removed: customer that are both capable of being distinct, whereby the customer can benefit from the service either on its own or together with
−Removed: other resources that are readily available from third parties or from the Company, and are distinct in the context of the contract, whereby
−Removed: the transfer of the services is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract.
−Removed: In addition, a single performance obligation
−Removed: may comprise a series of distinct goods or services that are substantially the same and that have the same pattern of transfer to the
−Removed: This principle is achieved through applying the following five-step approach:
−Removed: Step 1 - Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer.
−Removed: Step 2 - Identification of the performance obligations in the contract.
−Removed: Step 3 - Determination of the transaction price.
−Removed: Step 4 - Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
−Removed: Step 5 - Recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation.
−Removed: The Company recognizes and records revenue from its operations upon
−Removed: completion of installation for both solar system installations and roofing installations.
−Removed: In connection with the sales and installation,
−Removed: a signed contract between the Company and the purchaser defines the duties and obligations of each party.
−Removed: The contract is specific as
−Removed: to the duties and responsibilities which govern the accounting for these transactions.
−Removed: Once the Company’s performance obligations
−Removed: are met with installation completed, according to the signed contract, the Company’s obligations are completed, and title is transferred
−Removed: to the buyer.
−Removed: The Company believes its performance obligation is completed once the installation of the solar panels is completed, which
−Removed: is prior to the customer receiving permission to operate the solar panels from the local utility company.
−Removed: The Company records sales revenue
−Removed: at this point in time.
−Removed: Many of the Company’s customers finance their obligations with third parties.
−Removed: In these situations, the finance
−Removed: company deducts their financing fees and remits the net amount to the Company.
−Removed: Revenue recorded is equal to the contract amount signed
−Removed: by the purchaser, net of the financing fees.
−Removed: The Company incurs several costs associated with the installation prior to its completion.
−Removed: In accordance with ASC 340, Other Assets and Deferred Costs, installation-related costs are recorded as prepaid expenses and other
−Removed: current assets and in turn are expensed when installation is completed.
−Removed: Thus, revenue recognition is in turn matched with the installation
−Removed: equipment costs and expense associated with the completion of each project.
+Added: The standard also requires disclosure of qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions
+Added: that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively, as well as the total amount of selling expenses and an entity’s definition
+Added: of selling expenses.
+Added: ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after
+Added: December 15, 2027.
+Added: The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
+Added: The Company currently believes there are no other
+Added: issued and not yet effective accounting standards that are materially relevant to its condensed consolidated financial statements.

−Removed: advances from third-party financing company's on behalf of customers.
−Removed: These amounts are recorded on the condensed consolidated balance
−Removed: sheets as contract liabilities and are considered a liability of the Company until the installation is completed.
−Removed: When the permission
−Removed: to turn on (“PTO”) the solar panels from the local municipality is significantly delayed, the lender may withdraw their previous
−Removed: payments for a customer account until the PTO is completed.
−Removed: The contract liabilities amounts are expected to be recognized as revenue
−Removed: within a twelve months of the Company’s receipt of the funds.
−Removed: The following table summarizes the change in contract liabilities:
−Removed: Contract liabilities, beginning of the period
−Removed: Revenue recognized from amounts included in contract liabilities at the beginning of the period
−Removed: ( 5,223,518 )
−Removed: Cash received prior to completion of performance obligation
−Removed: Contract liabilities, end of the period
−Removed: Contract acquisition costs
−Removed: The Company pays sales commissions to sales representatives based on
−Removed: a percentage of the value of sales contracts entered into by the customer and the Company.
−Removed: Payment is made to the sales representative
−Removed: once installation is completed.
−Removed: Such costs are included as sales and marketing on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
−Removed: Since sales commission payments are subject to completion of the installation, payment is made commensurate with the recognition of revenue
−Removed: from the sale, and therefore the full expense is incurred as the Company does not have any remaining performance obligations.
−Removed: Costs to obtain a contract are not considered to be incremental or
−Removed: material, and project duration generally does not span more than one year.
−Removed: Accordingly, the Company applies a practical expedient for
−Removed: these types of costs and as such, they are expensed in the period incurred.
−Removed: Earnings per share
−Removed: The Company reports both basic and diluted earnings per share.
−Removed: earnings per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding and excludes the dilutive
−Removed: effect of warrants, stock options, and other types of convertible securities.
−Removed: Diluted earnings per share is calculated based on the weighted
−Removed: average number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding and the dilutive effect of warrants and other types of participating securities
−Removed: are included in the calculation.
−Removed: Dilutive securities are excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation if their effect is anti-dilutive,
−Removed: such as in periods where a net loss is reported.
−Removed: Prior to the ESGEN Business Combination, the membership structure of
−Removed: Sunergy Renewables, LLC included membership units.
−Removed: In conjunction with the closing of the ESGEN Business Combination, the Company effectuated
−Removed: a recapitalization whereby all membership units were converted to common units of ESGEN OpCo, LLC, and Zeo Energy Corp.
−Removed: implemented a
−Removed: revised class structure including Class A Common Stock having one vote per share and economic rights and Class V Common Stock having one
−Removed: vote per share and no economic rights.
−Removed: Stock-based Compensation
−Removed: The Company recognizes an expense for stock-based
−Removed: compensation awards based on the estimated fair value of the award on the date of grant.
−Removed: The Company has elected to account for restricted
−Removed: stock awards with market conditions using a graded vesting method.
−Removed: This method recognizes the compensation cost in the condensed consolidated
−Removed: statements of operations over the requisite service period for each separately vesting tranche of awards.
−Removed: The Company has elected to recognize
−Removed: forfeitures as they occur rather than estimate expected forfeitures.
−Removed: Fair value of Financial Instruments
−Removed: Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset, or
−Removed: the amount paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
−Removed: There is a fair
−Removed: value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value.
−Removed: The hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active
−Removed: markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement).
−Removed: We classify fair value balances based on the observability of those inputs.
−Removed: The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
−Removed: Level 1 — Inputs based on unadjusted quoted market prices
−Removed: in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
−Removed: Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included
−Removed: in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments
−Removed: in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
−Removed: Level 3 — Inputs reflect management’s best estimate
−Removed: of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.
−Removed: The inputs are both unobservable for
−Removed: the asset and liability in the market and significant to the overall fair value measurement.
−Removed: In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might
−Removed: be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy.
−Removed: In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its
−Removed: entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
−Removed: The recorded amounts
−Removed: of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accrued expenses, advanced funding, accounts
−Removed: payable, and debt approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities.
−Removed: Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests
−Removed: Noncontrolling interests represent the portion of OpCo that Zeo Energy
−Removed: controls and consolidates but does not own.
−Removed: The noncontrolling interests were created as a result of the ESGEN Business Combination
−Removed: and represent 33,730,000 common units issued by Zeo Energy Corp.
−Removed: to the prior investors.
−Removed: As of the close of the ESGEN Business Combination,
−Removed: Zeo Energy Corp.
−Removed: held a 13.0 % interest in OpCo with the remaining 87.0 % interest held by OpCo’s prior investors.
−Removed: At December 31,
−Removed: 2024, Zeo Energy Corp.
−Removed: held a 28.2 % interest in ESGEN OpCo, LLC with the remaining 71.8 % interest held by OpCo’s prior investors.
−Removed: During the three months ended March 31, 2025, 8,500,000 units were converted to Class A common stock.
−Removed: As a result, as of March 31, 2025,
−Removed: 25,230,000 units are outstanding.
−Removed: The prior investors’ interests in OpCo represent a redeemable noncontrolling interest.
−Removed: discretion, the members have the right to exchange their common units in OpCo (along with the cancellation of the paired shares of Zeo
−Removed: or the Class V Common Stock) for either shares of Class A Common Stock on a one-to-one basis or cash proceeds of equal value
−Removed: at the time of redemption.
−Removed: Any redemption of OpCo common units in cash must be funded through a private or public offering of Class A
−Removed: Common Stock and is subject to the Company’s Board’s approval.
−Removed: As of March 31, 2025, the prior investors of OpCo hold the
−Removed: majority of the voting rights on the Board.
−Removed: As the redeemable noncontrolling interests are redeemable upon the
−Removed: occurrence of an event that is not solely within the Company’s control, the Company classifies redeemable noncontrolling interests
−Removed: as temporary equity.
−Removed: The redeemable noncontrolling interests in common units were initially measured at the OpCo prior investors’
−Removed: share in the net assets of the Company upon consummation of the ESGEN Business Combination.
−Removed: Subsequent remeasurements of the Company’s
−Removed: redeemable noncontrolling interests are recorded as a deemed dividend each reporting period, which reduces retained earnings, if any,
−Removed: or additional paid-in capital of Zeo Energy Corp.
−Removed: Remeasurements of the Company’s redeemable noncontrolling interests are based
−Removed: on the fair value of our Class A Common Stock.
−Removed: Redeemable Convertible Preferred Units
−Removed: The Company records redeemable convertible preferred units at fair
−Removed: value on the dates of issuance, net of issuance costs.
−Removed: The redeemable convertible preferred units have been classified outside of stockholders’
−Removed: (deficit) equity as temporary equity on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets because the shares contain certain redemption
−Removed: features that are not solely within the control of the Company.
−Removed: See Note 10 – Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests and Equity.
−Removed: the redeemable convertible preferred units are held by the Sponsor at the OpCo level, the preferred units are presented as a noncontrolling
−Removed: interests on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
−Removed: Zeo Energy Corp.
−Removed: is a corporation and thus is subject to United States
−Removed: (“U.S.”) federal, state and local income taxes.
−Removed: OpCo is a partnership for U.S.
−Removed: federal income tax purposes and therefore does
−Removed: federal income tax.
−Removed: Instead, the OpCo unitholders, including Zeo Energy Corp., are liable for U.S.
−Removed: federal income tax on
−Removed: their respective shares of OpCo’s taxable income.
−Removed: OpCo is liable for income taxes in those states which tax entities classified
−Removed: as partnerships for U.S.
−Removed: federal income tax purposes.
−Removed: We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes
−Removed: for the Company.
−Removed: Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences
−Removed: attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
−Removed: bases and net operating loss (“NOL”) and tax credit carry forwards.
−Removed: Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using
−Removed: enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
−Removed: The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in income tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period
−Removed: that includes the enactment date.
−Removed: The realizability of deferred tax assets is evaluated quarterly based on a “more likely than not”
−Removed: standard and, to the extent this threshold is not met, a valuation allowance is recorded.
−Removed: ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute
−Removed: for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.
−Removed: For those benefits
−Removed: to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities.
−Removed: The Company recognizes
−Removed: accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense.
−Removed: Management has evaluated the Company’s
−Removed: tax positions, including its previous status as a pass-through entity for federal and state tax purposes, and has determined that the
−Removed: Company has taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
−Removed: The Company’s
−Removed: reserve related to uncertain tax positions was zero as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
−Removed: There were no unrecognized tax benefits
−Removed: and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
−Removed: The Company is currently not aware of any
−Removed: issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.
−Removed: Interest and penalties associated with tax positions are recorded in
−Removed: the period assessed as general and administrative expenses.
−Removed: The open tax years for U.S.
−Removed: federal and state income tax purposes are 2021
−Removed: Tax Receivable Agreement
−Removed: In conjunction with the consummation of the ESGEN Business Combination,
−Removed: Zeo Energy Corp entered into a Tax Receivable Agreement (the “TRA”) with Opco and certain Opco members (the “TRA Holders”).
−Removed: Pursuant to the TRA, Zeo Energy Corp.
−Removed: is required to pay the TRA Holders 85 % of the net cash savings, if any, in U.S.
−Removed: federal, state and
−Removed: local income and franchise tax (computed using simplifying assumptions to address the impact of state and local taxes) that the Company
−Removed: actually realizes (or is deemed to realize in certain circumstances) in periods after the ESGEN Business Combination as a result of, as
−Removed: applicable to each such TRA Holder, (i) certain increases in tax basis that occur as a result of the acquisition (or deemed acquisition
−Removed: federal income tax purposes) of all or a portion of such TRA Holder’s Exchangeable OpCo Units pursuant to the exercise
−Removed: of the OpCo Exchange Rights or a Mandatory Exchange and (ii) imputed interest deemed to be paid by the Company as a result of, and additional
−Removed: tax basis arising from, any payments it makes under the TRA.
−Removed: All such payments to the TRA Holders are the obligations of Zeo Energy Corp.,
−Removed: and not that of Opco.
−Removed: As of March 31, 2025, there was 8,500,000 exchanges of Opco units for Class A Common Stock of Zeo Energy Corp.
−Removed: under the TRA are not considered probable as of March 31, 2025..
−Removed: Future exchanges will result in incremental tax attributes and potential
−Removed: cash tax savings for Zeo Energy Corp.
−Removed: The associated liability for the TRA will be recorded as a decrease to additional paid-in capital
−Removed: in the condensed consolidated statement of changes in stockholders’ deficit.
−Removed: As of March 31, 2025, the total unrecorded TRA
−Removed: liability is approximately $ 8.3 million, of which $ 3.5 million related to actual exchanges and $ 4.8 million related to hypothetical sale.
−Removed: In accordance with ASC Topic 450, Contingencies, any changes to an existing TRA liability, including changes to the fair value measurement
−Removed: or to re-establish a TRA liability related to prior year exchanges, will be recorded as tax receivable agreement in other income (expense),
−Removed: net in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
−Removed: Similarly, if utilization of the deferred tax assets subject to the TRA becomes
−Removed: more likely than not in the future, the Company will record a liability related to the TRA which will be recorded in the condensed consolidated
−Removed: statement of operations.
−Removed: See Note 13 – Related Party Transactions.

−Removed: The Company accounts for certain liabilities at fair value on a recurring
−Removed: basis and classifies these liabilities within the fair value hierarchy (Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3).
−Removed: Liabilities subject to fair value measurements are as follows:
−Removed: March 31, 2025
−Removed: Warrant liabilities
−Removed: December 31, 2024
−Removed: Warrant liabilities
−Removed: The Company’s Public Warrants are traded on the Nasdaq.

−Removed: the ability to access.
−Removed: The fair value of the Warrant liabilities is classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
−Removed: NOTE 15 - NET LOSS PER SHARE
−Removed: Basic net loss per share of Class A common stock is computed
−Removed: by dividing net loss attributable to Class A common stockholders from March 13, 2024, or the Closing Date, to December 31, 2024, by the
−Removed: weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding for the same periods.
−Removed: Diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per
−Removed: share as the inclusion of potentially issuable shares that would be anti-dilutive.
−Removed: Prior to the ESGEN Business Combination, the membership structure
−Removed: of Sunergy Renewables, LLC included membership units.
−Removed: In conjunction with the closing of the ESGEN Business Combination, the Company effectuated
−Removed: a recapitalization whereby all membership units were converted to common units of OpCo and the Company implemented a revised class structure
−Removed: including Class A Common Stock having one vote per share and economic rights, and Class V Common Stock having one vote per share and no
−Removed: economic rights.
−Removed: Shares of the Company’s Class V Common Stock do not participate in the earnings or losses of the Company and are
−Removed: therefore not participating securities.
−Removed: The basic and diluted net income per share for the year ended December 31, 2024 represents only
−Removed: the period of March 13, 2024 to December 31, 2024.
−Removed: The following table presents the computation of the basic and
−Removed: diluted income per share of Class A Common Stock for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and the period of March 13, 2024 (the
−Removed: Closing Date) to December 31, 2024:
+Added: three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized $ 8,125,483 and $ 6,997,626 of revenue, net of financing fees of $ 4,120,620
+Added: and $ 2,813,564 , respectively, from these arrangements.
+Added: For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized $ 10,692,787
+Added: and $ 15,810,395 of revenue, net of financing fees of $ 5,095,453 and $ 6,669,783 , respectively, from these arrangements.

+Added: liabilities due to related parties relating to these arrangements.
+Added: During the year ended December 31, 2024, Solar
+Added: Leasing performed a fair-market-value assessment of its lease assets.
+Added: As a result, Solar Leasing paid a discretionary rebate to the Company
+Added: of $ 3,000,000 based on the excess of fair-market-value over the carrying value of its assets, primarily to optimize certain tax positions
+Added: for its owners.
+Added: The Company agreed to transfer the received rebate to White Horse Energy, LC (“White Horse Energy”), an entity
+Added: wholly owned by the Company’s CEO, in the form of convertible debt.
+Added: Additionally, the Company guarantees the outstanding indebtedness
+Added: of Solar Leasing (approximately $ 10 million) which results in the Company having a variable interest in Solar Leasing.
+Added: The Company determined
+Added: it was not the primary beneficiary as defined under ASC Topic 810, “ Consolidation .” Although the Company’s CEO,
+Added: wholly owns White Horse Energy, the Company does not have any control over White Horse Energy or Solar Leasing, nor any obligation to
+Added: absorb losses from Solar leasing.
+Added: Based on the Company’s reassessment, the flow of funds resulting from the discretionary rebate
+Added: does not transfer control or economic exposure to the Company in a manner that would require consolidation.
+Added: White Horse Energy remains
+Added: the primary beneficiary, and no changes to the Company’s financial statement presentation are required.
+Added: For the three and six months
+Added: ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded interest income of $ 38,130 and $ 75,786 , respectively, included in other income, net in the accompanying

+Added: consolidated balance sheet.
+Added: In conjunction with the consummation of the ESGEN
+Added: Business Combination on March 13, 2014, Zeo entered into a TRA with Opco and certain Opco members (the “TRA Holders”).
+Added: to the TRA, Zeo Energy Corp.
+Added: is required to pay the TRA Holders 85 % of the net cash savings, if any, in U.S.
+Added: federal, state and local
+Added: income and franchise tax (computed using simplifying assumptions to address the impact of state and local taxes) that the Company actually
+Added: realizes (or is deemed to realize in certain circumstances) in periods after the ESGEN Business Combination.
+Added: As of June 30, 2025, the
+Added: total unrecorded TRA liability is approximately $ 18.9 million.
+Added: If utilization of the deferred tax assets subject to the TRA becomes more
+Added: likely than not in the future, the Company will record a liability related to the TRA which will be recognized as expense within its
+Added: condensed consolidated statements of operations.
+Added: 12 —NET LOSS PER SHARE
+Added: Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing
+Added: the net loss by the weighted-average number of class A common shares outstanding during each period.
+Added: Diluted loss per share is calculated
+Added: by adjusting the weighted-average number of class A common shares outstanding for the dilutive effect, if any, of common share equivalents.
+Added: Common share equivalents whose effect would be antidilutive are not included in diluted loss per share.
+Added: The Company uses the treasury
+Added: stock method to determine the dilutive effect, which assumes that all class A common share equivalents have been exercised at the beginning
+Added: of the period and that the funds obtained from those exercises were used to repurchase class A common shares at the average closing market
+Added: price during the period.
+Added: As of June 30, 2025 and 2024, there were 43,221,852 and 49,180,000 , respectively, potential common share equivalents
+Added: from convertible OpCo class A preferred units, exchangeable OpCo class B units, convertible notes, warrants, and restricted stock awards
+Added: excluded from the diluted loss per share calculations as their effect is anti-dilutive.

−Removed: This greatly increased the investment in partnership deferred tax asset.
