General

On July 1, 2025, Abundia Global Impact Group, Inc. (formerly Houston American Energy Corp.), a Delaware corporation (“AGIG”, the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), acquired all of the outstanding units of Abundia Global Impact Group LLC (“AGIG LLC”) through a share exchange transaction. Prior to the transaction, the Company, as Houston American Energy Corp. (“HUSA”), operated as a small independent oil and gas company focused on the exploration and production of crude oil and natural gas primarily in the Permian Basin and the U.S. Gulf Coast region.

For accounting purposes, the Share Exchange is treated as a reverse acquisition, with AGIG as the surviving entity. As such, the historical financial statements of the accounting acquirer, AGIG, became the historical consolidated financial statements of the Company.

Following the transaction, the Company now primarily operates as a low carbon energy solutions company through AGIG LLC. The Company also continues to hold its legacy oil and gas assets, which remain in operation and generate revenue. The legacy oil and gas business is reported as a separate operating segment and is not considered material to the Company’s ongoing operations. The Company does not intend to allocate additional capital or management resources to the legacy oil and gas assets beyond what is required for compliance, reporting and maintenance of existing operations.

Low-Carbon Energy Business

The Company, through AGIG LLC, is engaged in the development and commercialization of low carbon fuels and renewable chemical products derived from waste plastics and biomass feedstocks. The Company’s business model is focused on utilizing licensed and proprietary process technologies to convert waste materials into hydrocarbon products that are compatible with existing refining, distribution, and end user infrastructure.

The Company is in the development and precommercial stage and has not yet commenced sustained commercial scale production. The Company’s ability to achieve commercial operations is dependent on, among other things, securing additional capital, completing engineering and permitting, constructing production facilities, and successfully commissioning planned operations.

Products and End Markets

The Company intends to produce renewable and low carbon products for established fuel and chemical markets, including:

  • renewable diesel, including ultra low sulfur diesel and low carbon marine fuels;
  • sustainable aviation fuel; and
  • renewable naphtha and other chemical feedstocks.

The Company’s products are designed to be “drop-in” compatible with conventional fuels and chemical infrastructure, subject to regulatory approvals and product qualification requirements. Final product offerings and sales volumes will depend on successful facility development, feedstock availability, regulatory approvals, and customer demand.

Technology Platform

Feedstock Conversion

The Company’s technology platforms are designed to process two principal waste feedstocks:

  • waste plastics, utilizing licensed continuous pyrolysis technologies that convert mixed plastic waste into refinery grade intermediate products; and
  • biomass, utilizing fast pyrolysis technologies that convert biomass feedstocks into bio-oil suitable for further upgrading.

These technologies are licensed from third parties and have been demonstrated at various commercial or pilot scale facilities operated by licensors or partners.

Upgrading and Refining

Intermediate products produced through pyrolysis are intended to be upgraded through hydrotreating and related processes to achieve finished fuel and chemical specifications. The Company utilizes a combination of internally developed processes and third-party licensed upgrading technologies. Ongoing pilot scale testing and product validation activities are required prior to full commercial deployment.

Modular Facility Design

The Company’s facilities are designed around standardized, modular units intended to support phased construction and potential replication. While management believes this approach may improve capital efficiency and scalability, no assurance can be given that such benefits will be achieved.

Facilities

Cedar Port Renewable Energy Complex

In July 2025, the Company acquired a 25-acre industrial site located within the Cedar Port Industrial Park in Baytown, Texas. The site is intended to serve as the Company’s primary development and operational hub and includes planned waste plastics to fuels and chemicals production capacity and an innovation and technology development center.

The site is located within the U.S. Gulf Coast energy corridor and offers access to existing marine, rail, pipeline and roadway infrastructure. The Company expects to require additional construction, permitting and capital investment prior to commencing commercial operations at the site.

Commercialization and Development Status

As of December 31, 2025, the Company remained in the development stage. Key activities completed or underway include:

  • acquisition of the Cedar Port site and commencement of site development activities;
  • entry into technology licensing and service agreements;
  • advancement of engineering, design, and permitting activities for an initial waste plastics to fuels and chemicals facility; and
  • pilot scale testing and validation of upgrading pathways.

The Company expects to continue to incur operating losses and capital expenditures as it advances development efforts. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve commercial production or profitability.

Marketing

At December 31, 2025, we had contractual agreements in place in Europe to sell crude pyrolysis oil derived from plastics produced from our first future site in Europe. We intend to market our products to fuel distributors, refiners, airlines, marine fuel customers and chemical manufacturers. Commercial sales are expected to depend on successful facility completion, product qualification and regulatory compliance.

We had no contractual agreements to sell our gas and oil production and all production was sold on spot markets.

Human Capital

As of December 31, 2025, we had two full-time employees and no part-time employees. The employees are not covered by a collective bargaining agreement, and we do not anticipate that any of our future employees will be covered by such agreements.

Competition

The waste to liquid fuel market is relatively new and competition is still developing. Large early-stage markets, such as Europe, require early engagement across verticals and customers to gain market share, and ongoing effort to scale channels, installers, teams and processes. In addition, there are multiple competitors worldwide with limited funding, which could cause poor experiences, hampering overall adoption or trust in any particular provider.

Furthermore, our current or potential competitors may be acquired by third parties with greater available resources. As a result, competitors may be able to respond more quickly and effectively than the Company to new or changing opportunities, technologies, standards or customer requirements and may have the ability to initiate or withstand substantial price competition. In addition, competitors may in the future establish cooperative relationships with vendors of complementary products, technologies, or services to increase the availability of their solutions in the marketplace. This competition may also materialize in the form of costly intellectual property disputes or litigation.

New competitors or alliances may emerge in the future that have greater market share, more widely adopted proprietary technologies, greater marketing expertise and greater financial resources, which could put us at a competitive disadvantage. Future competitors could also be better positioned to serve certain segments of our current or future target markets, which could create price pressure. In light of these factors, even if our offerings are more effective and of higher quality than those of its competitors, current or potential customers may accept our competitors’ solutions. If the Company fails to adapt to changing market conditions or fails to continue to compete successfully with current or new competitors, our growth will be limited, which would adversely affect business and results of operations.

Regulatory Matters

Environmental Regulation

Various federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment, including the discharge of materials into the environment, may affect our exploration, development and production operations and the costs of those operations. These laws and regulations, among other things, govern the amounts and types of substances that may be released into the environment, the issuance of permits to conduct exploration, drilling and production operations, the discharge and disposition of generated waste materials and waste management, the reclamation and abandonment of wells, sites and facilities, financial assurance and the remediation of contaminated sites. These laws and regulations may impose substantial liabilities for noncompliance and for any contamination resulting from our operations and may require the suspension or cessation of operations in affected areas.

Environmental, health and safety regulations applicable to our planned facility in Baytown, Texas are administered through a combination of federal, state and local regulatory programs and may also be enforced through private rights of action. Our operations are expected to be subject to extensive and evolving requirements under, among others, the Clean Air Act (“CAA”), the Clean Water Act (“CWA”), the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (“RCRA”), the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”), the Toxic Substances Control Act (“TSCA”), and the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (“EPCRA”), as well as implementing regulations and comparable state and local requirements. These laws and regulations govern, among other things, air emissions; wastewater and stormwater discharges; spill prevention and response; the generation, storage, characterization, transport and disposal of solid and hazardous wastes; chemical management, reporting and community right-to-know obligations; and investigation and remediation of contaminated sites.

In Texas, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality is the primary agency responsible for implementing and enforcing key air and water quality programs, including the issuance of air authorizations and permits and the administration of certain water discharge and industrial stormwater requirements. The Baytown facility is expected to be located within the Houston-Galveston-Brazoria ozone severe nonattainment area, which can impose more stringent permitting and control obligations than would apply in an attainment area. We are designing the facility with the objective of operating as a minor source for purposes of air permitting (i.e., maintaining potential emissions below thresholds that would otherwise trigger more stringent major source and operating permit requirements). Despite this design intent, final permitting applicability and source classification will depend on, among other things, final equipment selection and configuration, enforceable permit limits, operating parameters, aggregation of emission units, and applicable regulatory interpretations. If our actual or potential emissions, as ultimately authorized, were to exceed applicable thresholds, or if regulators were to require different assumptions or controls, we could become subject to additional permitting, control, monitoring and reporting requirements, which could increase costs, delay startup, or impose operational constraints.

We also expect to be subject to federal and state spill prevention and response requirements. For example, depending on the type and quantity of oil stored on site and site-specific conditions, we may be required to prepare, maintain and implement a Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure plan designed to prevent discharges of oil into navigable waters or adjoining shorelines.

Compliance with environmental and related regulatory requirements may require significant capital expenditures and operating costs, including costs associated with engineering controls, monitoring, recordkeeping, reporting, training, inspections, and waste management. These laws and regulations may impose substantial liabilities for noncompliance and for any contamination resulting from our operations, including administrative, civil or criminal penalties, injunctive relief, permit modification, suspension or revocation, and requirements to investigate and remediate contamination. In addition, certain environmental statutes provide for citizen suits and other private rights of action, which could result in litigation, delay, or additional compliance costs. Changes in environmental laws and regulations, evolving interpretations and enforcement practices, the timing and outcome of permitting processes, and the availability and cost of compliance measures are subject to uncertainty and could be material to our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

The environmental laws and regulations applicable to our U.S. operations include, among others, the following United States federal laws and regulations:

  • CAA, and its amendments, which govern air emissions;
  • CWA, which governs discharges into waters of the United States;
  • CERCLA, which imposes liability where hazardous releases have occurred or are threatened to occur (commonly known as “Superfund”);
  • RCRA, which governs the management of solid waste;
  • Oil Pollution Act of 1990, which imposes liabilities resulting from discharges of oil into navigable waters of the United States;
  • EPCRA, which requires reporting of toxic chemical inventories;
  • Safe Drinking Water Act, which governs the underground injection and disposal of wastewater; and
  • U.S. Department of Interior regulations, which impose liability for pollution cleanup and damages.

The ultimate financial impact of these environmental laws and regulations is neither clearly known nor easily determined as new standards are enacted and new interpretations of existing standards are rendered. Environmental laws and regulations are expected to have an increasing impact on our operations. In addition, any non-compliance with such laws could subject us to material administrative, civil or criminal penalties, or other liabilities. Potential permitting costs are variable and directly associated with the type of facility and its geographic location. Costs, for example, may be incurred for air emission permits, spill contingency requirements, and discharge or injection permits. These costs are considered a normal, recurring cost of our ongoing operations and not an extraordinary cost of compliance with government regulations.

Climate Change Legislation and Greenhouse Gas Regulation

Federal, state and local laws and regulations continue to address concerns about the environmental and climatic effects of greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions. These effects are widely referred to as “climate change.” Historically, following its December 2009 endangerment finding regarding GHG emissions, the Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”) began regulating sources of GHG emissions under the federal CAA, including through reporting, permitting, and technology-based requirements applicable to stationary sources. On August 1, 2025, the EPA published a proposed rule to rescind the 2009 greenhouse gas endangerment finding which concluded that greenhouse gases endanger public health and welfare. On February 12, 2026, the EPA finalized a rule rescinding the 2009 endangerment finding, which had served as the legal basis for regulating GHG emissions from new motor vehicles and engines under CAA Section 202(a). With the rescission, the EPA no longer has statutory authority to prescribe federal GHG emission standards for motor vehicles, and all such standards have been repealed. The rescission does not, however, directly alter existing GHG-related permitting or reporting requirements for stationary sources, including oil and gas production facilities, which remain subject to other federal, state, and local regulatory programs.

We continue to monitor evolving federal climate-related policies, as well as state and regional initiatives that may impose additional GHG-related obligations on our operations.

Moreover, the U.S. Congress has considered establishing a cap-and-trade program to reduce U.S. emissions of greenhouse gases. Under past proposals, the EPA would issue or sell a capped and steadily declining number of tradable emissions allowances to certain major sources of greenhouse gas emissions so that such sources could continue to emit greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. These allowances would be expected to escalate significantly in cost over time. The net effect of such legislation, if ever adopted, would be to impose increasing costs on the combustion of carbon-based fuels such as crude oil, refined petroleum products, and natural gas. In addition, while the prospect for such cap-and-trade legislation by the U.S. Congress remains uncertain, several states have adopted, or are in the process of adopting, similar cap-and-trade programs.

As a low-carbon energy solutions company, the debate on climate change is relevant to our operations because the regulatory response is designed to increase demand for, and use of, our products, as alternative forms of energy. We cannot presently predict the ultimate impact of existing or future climate change initiatives on our Company or our industry.

Regulation of Oil and Gas Production, Sales and Transportation

The oil and gas industry is subject to regulation by numerous national, state and local governmental agencies and departments. Compliance with these regulations is often difficult and costly, and noncompliance could result in substantial penalties and risks. Most jurisdictions in which we operate also have statutes, rules, regulations or guidelines governing the conservation of natural resources, including the unitization or pooling of oil and gas properties, minimum well spacing, plugging and abandonment of wells and the establishment of maximum rates of production from oil and gas wells. Some jurisdictions also require the filing of drilling and operating permits, bonds and reports. The failure to comply with these statutes, rules and regulations could result in the imposition of fines and penalties and the suspension or cessation of operations in affected areas.

Hydraulic Fracturing Regulation

Hydraulic fracturing, or “fracking”, is a common practice used to stimulate production of oil and natural gas from tight formations, including shales. Fracking involves the injection of fluids-usually consisting mostly of water but typically including small amounts of chemical additives-as well as sand into a well under high pressure in order to create fractures in the rock that allow oil or gas to flow more freely to the wellbore.

Except as applies to federal lands, fracking generally is exempt from regulation under many federal environmental rules and is generally regulated at the state level.

For example, in Texas, the Texas Railroad Commission administers regulations related to oil and gas operations, including regulations pertaining to protection of water resources in connection with those operations. The Texas Legislature adopted new legislation requiring oil and gas operators to publicly disclose the chemicals used in the hydraulic fracturing process, effective as of September 1, 2011. The Texas Railroad Commission has adopted rules and regulations implementing this legislation that apply to all wells for which the Railroad Commission issues an initial drilling permit after February 1, 2012. This law requires that the well operator disclose the list of chemical ingredients subject to the requirements of the federal Occupational Safety and Health Act (“OSHA”) for disclosure on an internet website and also file the list of chemicals with the Texas Railroad Commission with the well completion report. The total volume of water used to hydraulically fracture a well must also be disclosed to the public and filed with the Texas Railroad Commission.

Risk Factor Summary

Our business is subject to a number of risks that if realized could materially affect our business, prospects, operating results and financial conditions. These risks are discussed more fully in the “Risk Factors” section of this Report. These risks include the following:

  • the Company’s report of the independent registered public accounting firm on our 2025 and 2024 financial statements contains a going concern qualification.
  • the Company has incurred losses and anticipates continuing to incur losses while it commercializes and scales its business.
  • competing in a competitive industry and failure to successfully compete with other companies in its industry may have a material adverse effect on the business.
  • the Company and its industry partners have a limited operating history utilizing its technology and different feedstocks, which may make it difficult to evaluate its future viability and predict its future performance.
  • failure to continuously reduce operating and capital costs for the Company’s facilities that deploy its technologies may impact adoption of its products and could negatively impact its business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
  • the Company may be subject to product liability claims, which could result in material expense, diversion of management time and attention and damage to its business, reputation and brand.
  • the Company has non-exclusive service agreements or licenses to some of its intellectual property related to its technological offering.
  • the Company’s patent rights may not provide commercially meaningful protection against competition.
  • the Company depends on certain technologies that are sold or licensed to it. It does not control these technologies or own the intellectual rights to these properties, and any loss of its rights to them could prevent it from developing its technologies; and
  • the price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly, and this may make it difficult to resell common stock when, or at prices, desired.

Risk factors

As filed, 98,615 characters, with its headings, lists and tables. Extracted from the main document; charts and exhibits are in the original on sec.gov.

Our business activities and the value of our securities are subject to significant hazards and risks, including those described below. If any such events should occur, our business, financial condition, liquidity and/or results of operations could be materially harmed, and holders and purchasers of our securities could lose part or all of their investments.

These disclosures reflect the Company’s beliefs and opinions as to factors that could materially and adversely affect the Company and its securities in the future. References to past events are provided by way of example only and are not intended to be a complete listing or a representation as to whether or not such factors have occurred in the past or their likelihood of occurring in the future.

Company and Business Risks

The report of the independent registered public accounting firm on our 2025 and 2024 financial statements contains a going concern qualification.

The report of the independent registered public accounting firm covering our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 stated that certain factors, including that we have suffered recurring losses from operations and have an accumulated deficit at December 31, 2025, raised substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. Because we are not yet producing sufficient revenue to sustain our operating costs, we are dependent upon raising capital to continue our business. If we are unable to raise capital, we may be unable to continue as a going concern.

The Company has incurred losses and anticipates continuing to incur losses while it commercializes and scales its business.

The Company has incurred net losses since its inception, including net losses of $29,460,935 for the year ended December 31, 2025 and net losses of $3,621,948 for the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company believes that it will continue to incur operating and net losses in the future while it grows, including following its initial generation of revenues from the sale of its products, which may occur later than expected or not at all. We do not expect to be profitable for the foreseeable future as we invest in our business, build capacity and ramp up operations, and cannot assure you that it will ever achieve or be able to maintain profitability in the future. Even if we are able to successfully develop our products and attract customers, there can be no assurance that we will be financially successful. For example, as the Company expands its product portfolio and expands internationally, it will need to manage costs effectively to sell those products at its expected margins. Failure to become profitable would materially and adversely affect the value of your investment. If the Company is ever to achieve profitability, it will be dependent upon the successful development and commercial introduction and acceptance of its products

The Company has identified material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting.

We have identified material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting with regard to the assessment of the formal control environment and control activities. We have not performed a risk assessment in relation to segregation of duties, or for the risk that the financial statements may be materially misstated.

In addition, we have identified a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting related to accounting for significant and non-standard transactions. This weakness could result in errors or misstatements in our financial statements, which may not be detected in a timely manner. To note, we filed a restatement of our previously issued financial statements on the interim financial statements included in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2025. We are actively working to remediate this weakness by enhancing our control environment and implementing more robust procedures for the review and approval of such transactions.

Due to our limited resources, we may not be able to effectively manage our operations, which may result in weaknesses in our infrastructure, risks that we may not be able to comply with legal and regulatory requirements, and loss of employees and reduced productivity among remaining employees. For example, our limited resources and workforce reduction may negatively impact our efforts, which could result in unexpected costs and expenses and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and prospects.

The existence of these material weaknesses could adversely affect our ability to accurately report our financial condition and results of operations. It may also impact investor confidence, potentially leading to a decline in our stock price and increased scrutiny from regulatory authorities.

Financial results could vary significantly from quarter to quarter and may be subject to macroeconomic influences, and its projections may differ materially from actual results.

The Company’s operating results could vary significantly from quarter to quarter due to a variety of factors, many of which are outside of its control. As a result, comparing our operating results on a period-to-period basis may not be meaningful. In addition, we may not be able to predict our future revenues or results of operations. We base our current and future expense levels on our internal research and development plans and forecasts, and our operating costs vary to the extent of our research and development and the planning for additional products. As a result, we may incur significant or unanticipated expenses associated with the research and development efforts of the products under our development. In addition to other risk factors discussed in this section, factors that may contribute to the variability of our quarterly results include:

  • use of available cash resources;
  • the timing of release of research and development and trial results and new products and services by our competitors, particularly those that may represent a significant portion of revenues in any given period;
  • the popularity of new products, and products released in prior periods;
  • changes by our competitors;
  • our success in entering new geographic markets;
  • internal decisions to incur additional expenses, such as increases in research and development;
  • the level of expenses associated with our regulatory applications or compliance; and
  • the timing of compensation expense associated with equity compensation grants.

As a result of these and other factors, our quarterly and annual operating results could be materially adversely affected. Moreover, our operating results may not meet the expectations of research analysts or investors, in which case the price of our common stock could decrease significantly.

Requirement for substantial additional financing to fund operations and complete the development and commercialization of technologies that may not be done on favorable terms.

We expect our expenses to increase in connection with our ongoing activities. We also expect to incur significant commercialization expenses related to product manufacturing, marketing, sales and distribution. We cannot reasonably estimate the actual amounts necessary to successfully complete the development and commercialization of our products. If we are unable to raise capital when needed or on attractive terms, we could be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate research and development programs or any future commercialization efforts.

We could use our capital resources sooner than currently expected. Our operating plans and other demands on our cash resources may change as a result of many factors currently unknown, and we may need to seek additional funds sooner than planned, through public or private equity or debt financings or other capital sources, including potentially government funding, collaborations, licenses and other similar arrangements. In addition, we may seek additional capital due to favorable market conditions or strategic considerations even if we believe we have sufficient funds for current or future operating plans. Attempting to secure additional financing may divert the Company’s management from day-to-day activities, which may adversely affect its ability to develop products.

Future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:

  • the costs and timing of manufacturing for our products, including commercial manufacturing of products;
  • the costs of obtaining, maintaining and enforcing our intellectual property rights;
  • the timing and amount of the milestone or other payments we must make to the licensors and other third parties from whom we have licensed or acquired technology;
  • the costs and timing of establishing or securing sales and marketing capabilities for our products;
  • our ability to achieve market acceptance and adequate market share and revenue for our products; and
  • the terms and timing of establishing and maintaining collaborations, licenses and other similar arrangements.

11

In addition, our products may not achieve commercial success. Accordingly, we will need to continue to rely on additional financing to achieve our business objectives. Adequate additional financing may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all.

The Company’s technology may not be successful in developing commercial products.

The Company and its potential future collaborators may spend many years and dedicate significant financial and other resources to developing its technology that may never be successfully commercialized. Its technology may never become successfully commercialized for, among others, any of the following reasons:

  • we may not be able to secure sufficient funding to progress our technology through development and commercial validation;
  • the Company or its future collaborators may be unable to obtain the requisite regulatory approvals for its technology;
  • competitors may launch competing or more effective technology;
  • our technology may not be commercially successful;
  • current and future collaborators may be unable to fully develop and commercialize products containing our technology or may decide, for whatever reason, not to commercialize such products; and
  • we may be unable to secure adequate patent protection in the necessary jurisdictions.

If any of these things were to occur, it could have an adverse effect on our ability to raise additional capital, execute its business plan, or remain in business.

If we are unable to manage growth and expand operations successfully, our reputation and brand may be damaged, and the business and results of operations may be harmed.

We expect rapid growth and the number of facilities from which we operate to increase in the future. Our ability to effectively manage anticipated growth and expansion of our operations will require us to do, among other things, the following:

  • enhance our operational, financial and management controls and infrastructure, human resource policies, and reporting systems and procedures;
  • effectively scale our operations, including accurately predicting the need for floor space, equipment, and additional staffing; and
  • successfully identify, recruit, hire, train, develop, maintain, motivate and integrate additional employees.

These enhancements and improvements will require significant capital expenditures and allocation of valuable management and employee resources. Furthermore, the Company’s growth has placed and will continue to place a strain on its operational, financial, and management infrastructure. Our future financial performance and our ability to execute on our business plan will depend, in part, on our ability to effectively manage any future growth and expansion. There are no guarantees we will be able to do so in an efficient or timely manner, or at all. The Company’s failure to effectively manage growth and expansion could have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations, financial condition, prospects, reputation and brands, including impairing its ability to perform to its customers’ expectations.

Competing in a competitive industry and failure to successfully compete with other companies in its industry may have a material adverse effect on the business.

The biomass to liquid fuel market is relatively new, and competition is still developing. Large early-stage markets, such as Europe, require early engagement across verticals and customers to gain market share, and ongoing effort to scale channels, installers, teams and processes. In addition, there are multiple competitors worldwide with limited funding, which could cause poor experiences, hampering overall adoption or trust in any particular provider.

Furthermore, our current or potential competitors may be acquired by third parties with greater available resources. As a result, competitors may be able to respond more quickly and effectively than us to new or changing opportunities, technologies, standards or customer requirements and may have the ability to initiate or withstand substantial price competition. In addition, competitors may in the future establish cooperative relationships with vendors of complementary products, technologies, or services to increase the availability of their solutions in the marketplace. This competition may also materialize in the form of costly intellectual property disputes or litigation.

New competitors or alliances may emerge in the future that have greater market share, more widely adopted proprietary technologies, greater marketing expertise and greater financial resources, which could put the Company at a competitive disadvantage. Future competitors could also be better positioned to serve certain segments of our current or future target markets, which could create price pressure. In light of these factors, even if our offerings are more effective and of higher quality than those of our competitors, current or potential customers may accept our competitors’ solutions instead of ours. If we fail to adapt to changing market conditions or continue to compete successfully with current or new competitors, our growth will be limited, which would adversely affect the business and results of operations.

The Company expects to rely on a limited number of industry partners for a significant portion of its near-term revenue.

Our ability to successfully enter into, maintain and manage partnering arrangements will be critical factors to the success of our business and growth. We rely heavily and expect to continue to rely heavily on such arrangements. We have limited or no control over the amount or timing of resources that any third party commits to negotiating a partnering arrangement with it or, if negotiated and entered into, the timing or the number of resources that a third party will commit to its projects. Any third party with which we are in negotiations may experience a change of policy or priorities and may discontinue negotiations with us. Any of our industry partners may fail to perform their obligations as expected. These industry partners may breach or terminate their agreements with us or otherwise fail to conduct their partnering activities successfully and in a timely manner. Further, our industry partners may not develop commercially viable products arising out of our partnering arrangements or devote sufficient resources to the development, manufacture, marketing, and/or sale of our products. Moreover, disagreements with an industry partner regarding strategic direction, economics of the relationship between partners and our intellectual property or other matters could develop, and any such conflict could reduce our ability to enter into future partnering agreements and negatively impact our relationships with one or more existing industry partners. Any of these events could delay our anticipated timelines, prevent the successful development and commercialization of our products, negatively impact our financial results, and prevent us from ever achieving or sustaining profitability. Moreover, these negative consequences could be augmented in the event that we are forced to seek replacement partners, particularly for those whose plant locations would have allowed favorable relevant feedstock acquisition costs.

Partnering opportunities could be harmed and the anticipated timelines could be delayed if:

  • we do not achieve our objectives under our arrangements in a timely manner, or at all;
  • our existing or potential industry partners become unable, unwilling or less willing to expend their resources on research and development or commercialization efforts with us due to general market conditions, their financial condition, feedstock pricing or other circumstances, many of which are beyond our control;
  • we disagree with industry partners as to rights to intellectual property we jointly develop, or their research programs or commercialization activities;
  • we are unable to successfully manage multiple simultaneous partnering arrangements;
  • applicable laws and regulations, domestic or foreign, impede our ability to enter into strategic arrangements;
  • we develop processes or enter into additional partnering arrangements that conflict with the business objectives of its other arrangements;
  • our industry partners become competitors of AGIG or enter into agreements with our competitors; or
  • consolidation in our target markets limits the number of potential industry partners.

Additionally, because we have entered into exclusive arrangements with industry partners, other potential partners in our industry may choose to compete against us, rather than partnering with us. This may limit our partnering opportunities and harm our business and prospects. Moreover, our business could be negatively impacted if any of our industry partners undergo a change of control or assigns the rights or obligations under any of its agreements. If any of our industry partners were to assign these agreements to our competitors or to a third party who is not willing to work with us on the same terms or commit the same resources as the current industry partner, our business and prospects could be adversely affected.

The Company and its industry partners have a limited operating history utilizing its technology and different feedstocks, which may make it difficult to evaluate its future viability and predict its future performance.

Our operations to date have been limited to financing and staffing the Company and developing our technology platforms. Consequently, predictions about our future success or viability may not be as accurate as they could be if we had a longer history of successfully developing and commercializing products. Factors relating to our business that may contribute to these fluctuations include the following:

  • delays in receipt of anticipated purchase orders;
  • performance of independent distributors;
  • positive or negative media coverage of our products or products of our competitors;
  • our ability to obtain further regulatory clearances or approvals;
  • delays in, or failure of, product and component deliveries by our subcontractors and suppliers;
  • customer response to the introduction of new product offerings; and
  • fluctuations in foreign currency.

Governmental programs designed to incentivize the production and consumption of low carbon fuels and carbon capture and utilization, may be implemented in a way that does not include our products or could be repealed, curtailed or otherwise changed, which would have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

The Company and other participants in the alternative energy and fuel industry rely on governmental programs requiring or incentivizing the consumption of low carbon fuels. Renewable fuel has historically been more expensive to produce than fossil-based fuel, and these governmental programs support a market for biomass-based fuel that might not otherwise exist. If any of these governmental incentives are repealed, curtailed, or otherwise changed, we would likely see a decrease in demand for low carbon fuels and reduced revenue. If we are unable to effectively respond to governmental changes in a cost-efficient manner, we may fail to achieve the financial results it expects or that financial analysts and investors expect, and our business, prospects, financial condition, and operating results may be adversely affected.

Products produced by the Company’s process technologies compete with or are intended to displace comparable products produced using fossil resources. The market prices for these alternatively produced products and commodities are subject to volatility and there is a limited amount of referenceable market data.

We believe that there are a number of trends affecting our industry, including significant volatility in the price of the fossil-fuel feedstocks used to produce nearly all intermediate and basic chemicals, dramatic swings in earnings and difficulty in forecasting future performance; the increased availability of natural gas, especially in North America, and the growing spread between the price of crude oil and natural gas; the chemical industry increasingly building large-scale manufacturing facilities; and increasing interest in the environmental consequences of product purchases. While our business may be positively affected by these trends, our results may also be favorably or unfavorably impacted by these and other trends that affect demand and pricing for intermediate and basic chemicals, including, among others, changes in feedstock availability and pricing, developments in our industry and among our competitors, and changes in consumer preferences and demand. Our failure to effectively manage these trends could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, prospects, reputation and brands, including impairing our ability to perform to customers’ expectations. Additionally, we must often rely on our own market research to forecast sales, as detailed forecasts are not generally obtainable from other sources at this early stage of the industry. Market research and projections by the Company of estimated total retail sales, demographics, demand, and similar consumer research are based on assumptions from limited and unreliable market data, and generally represent the personal opinions of its management team. A failure in the demand for our products to materialize as a result of competition, technological change or other factors could have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations, financial condition or prospects of the Company.

The Company is subject to risks associated with currency fluctuations, and changes in foreign currency exchange rates could impact its results of operations.

The Company operates mainly through three entities: AGIG, a Delaware corporation, AGIG LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and Abundia Global Impact Group (Ireland) Limited, an Irish limited liability company based in Kilpheak, Glenswilly, Co. Donegal, Ireland. The functional and reporting currency for AGIG and AGIG LLC is the US dollar. The functional and reporting currency for AGIG Ireland is the Euro.

Significant fluctuations in U.S. dollar to Euro exchange rates could affect the Company’s result of operations, cash position and funding requirements. To the extent that fluctuations in currency exchange rates cause its results of operations to differ materially from its expectations or the expectations of its investors, the trading price of the combined Company’s common stock could be adversely affected.

From time to time, we may engage in exchange rate hedging activities in an effort to mitigate the impact of exchange rate fluctuations. As part of our risk management program, we may enter into foreign exchange forward contracts to lock in the exchange rates for future foreign currency transactions, which is intended to reduce the variability of its operating costs and future cash flows denominated in currencies that differ from its functional currencies. We do not enter into these contracts for trading purposes or speculation, and the management believes all such contracts are entered into as hedges of underlying transactions. Nonetheless, these instruments involve costs and have risks of their own in the form of transaction costs, credit requirements and counterparty risk. If our hedging program is not successful, or if we change our hedging activities in the future, we may experience significant unexpected expenses from fluctuations in exchange rates. Any hedging technique we implement may fail to be effective. If our hedging activities are not effective, changes in currency exchange rates may have a more significant impact on the trading price of its common stock.

If we are unable to attract, integrate, and retain additional qualified personnel, including top technical talent, our business could be adversely affected.

Our future success depends in part on our ability to identify, attract, integrate and retain highly skilled technical, managerial, sales and other personnel. We face intense competition for qualified individuals from numerous other companies, many of whom have greater financial and other resources than we do. Some of these characteristics may be more appealing to high-quality candidates than those we have to offer. In addition, new hires often require significant training and, in many cases, take significant time before they achieve full productivity. We may incur significant costs to attract and retain qualified personnel, including significant expenditures related to salaries and benefits and compensation expenses related to equity awards, and we may lose new employees to our competitors or other companies before we realize the benefit of our investment in recruiting and training them. Moreover, new employees may not be or become as productive as we expect, as we may face challenges adequately or appropriately integrating them into our workforce and culture. If we are unable to attract, integrate and retain suitably qualified individuals who are capable of meeting our growing technical, operational and managerial requirements, on a timely basis or at all, our business will be adversely affected.

Volatility or lack of positive performance in our share price may also affect our ability to attract and retain our key employees. Many of our senior management personnel and other key employees have become, or will soon become, vested in a substantial amount of shares of common stock, restricted stock units or warrants to purchase common stock. Employees may be more likely to leave us if the shares they own or the shares underlying their vested units or warrants have significantly appreciated in value relative to the original grant prices of the shares or units or the exercise prices of the warrants, or, conversely, if the exercise prices of the warrants that they hold are significantly above the market price of our common stock. If we are unable to appropriately incentivize and retain our employees through equity compensation, or if we need to increase our compensation expenses in order to appropriately incentivize and retain our employees, our business, operating results and financial condition would be adversely affected.

Natural or man-made disasters, social, economic and political instability, and other similar events — including pandemics — may significantly disrupt the Company’s and its industry partners’ businesses and negatively impact its results of operations and financial condition.

The Company’s corporate headquarters are located in the U.S., with planned facilities in Houston, Texas, U.S., and we anticipate working with our industry partners in multiple other locations, including non-U.S. sites. Our locations, including potential non-U.S. locations, may be subject to social, economic and political instability, such as social uprisings. Additionally, any of the Company’s or its industry partners’ facilities may be harmed or rendered inoperable by natural or man-made disasters, including earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, wildfires, floods, tsunamis, nuclear disasters, acts of terrorism or other criminal activities, infectious disease outbreaks and power outages, which may render it difficult or impossible for the Company or its industry partners to operate its business for some period of time. The Company and its industry partners’ facilities would likely be costly to repair or replace, and any such efforts would likely require substantial time. Any disruptions in the Company or its industry partners’ operations could negatively impact its business and results of operations, and harm its reputation. Our disaster recovery plan may not be sufficient to address an actual disaster, in particular any events that negatively impact us or our industry partners’ physical infrastructures. In addition, the Company and its industry partners may not carry sufficient business insurance to compensate for losses that may occur. Any such losses or damages could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial conditions, and success as an overall business.

Technological innovation by others could render our technology and the products produced uneconomical.

The low carbon fuel industry is characterized by rapid and significant technological change. Our success will depend on our ability to maintain a competitive position with respect to technological advances. Our technology and the products derived from the technology may be rendered obsolete or uneconomical by technological advances, more efficient and cost-effective products or entirely different approaches developed by one or more of our competitors. Though our plans are to continue to expend significant resources to enhance our technology platform and processes, there are no assurances we will be able to keep pace with technological change.

Risks Related to the Company’s Manufacturing and Commercialization

Fluctuations in the prices of waste-based feedstocks used to manufacture the products produced using the Company’s process technologies may affect us or our industry partners’ cost structure, gross margin and ability to compete.

We may experience increases in the cost or a sustained interruption in the supply or shortage of waste-based feedstocks necessary for the manufacture of our products. Any such increase in cost, supply interruption, or materials shortage could adversely impact our business, prospects, financial condition, and operating results.

Substantial increases in the prices for our feedstock could reduce our margins if we cannot recoup the increased costs through increased sale prices on our product. Furthermore, fluctuations in fuel costs, or other economic conditions, may cause us to experience significant increases in freight charges. If we are unable to effectively manage our supply chain and respond to disruptions to our supply chain in a cost-efficient manner, we may fail to achieve the financial results we expect or that financial analysts and investors expect, and our business, prospects, financial condition, and operating results may be adversely affected.

If the Company is unable to successfully add additional process trains, it may not meet its customer demand.

To be successful and compete economically, we will have to add additional reactor trains to the current operational design. This may bring challenges with feedstock preparation and product recovery portions of the technology train. We may encounter difficulties in scaling up production, including problems with the supply of key components. Even if we are successful in developing our manufacturing capability, we do not know whether we will do so in time to satisfy the requirements of our customers. In order to fully implement our business plan, we will need to operate a larger industrial commercial facility, develop strategic partnerships, or find other means to produce greater volumes of finished product.

The Company may face manufacturing capacity issues that may adversely affect its deployment targets.

To successfully commercialize any of our products, the Company and its partners must have the capability to produce in significantly larger quantities than it has to date at acceptable quality levels on a cost-effective basis, and otherwise effectively scale up its operations. Any products that we develop to the point of commercial production may not perform in the same manner, or we may encounter operational challenges for which it is unable to devise a workable solution. If this occurs, our ability to commercially scale our technology and processes will be adversely affected, and with respect to any products that are brought to market, we may not be able to lower ours and our partners’ cost of production, which would adversely affect our ability to increase the future profitability of the business. Our expectations and estimates and the underlying assumptions regarding anticipated capital efficiencies and lower operating costs for plants using our processes compared to conventional fossil-derived energy, fuels and chemicals may prove to be incorrect. We may never achieve the necessary results to produce at a larger scale or achieve other production process efficiencies. Moreover, upon commercial production of our alternative energy, fuels and chemicals, we anticipate it taking multiple months to ramp up production to target production rate. Even if the Company and its partners are able to successfully produce on a larger scale, it may take longer than anticipated for the plants to produce at target productions rates, which would affect our profitability. In addition, although the management team has significant experience in chemical technology, the skills and knowledge gained in this area and in operating similar production facilities may prove insufficient in connection with its operation of large-scale facilities.

While abundant, if the availability of the waste-based feedstocks declines or competition for them increases, the Company may be required to raise the prices of its products which could reduce the demand and affect its revenue.

The production from our processes will require large volumes of feedstock. We cannot predict the future availability of any feedstock necessary to produce products using our processes, or be sure that the suppliers of these feedstocks will be able to supply them in sufficient quantities, in a timely manner or at a cost that allows us to competitively price chemicals produced using our processes. The supply of feedstocks might be impacted by a wide range of factors, including a shift in supply demand, supply chain problems, and competition for the feedstock and price. Declines in the availability of the feedstocks used for our products could force it to delay or reduce production, raise the prices of products, and result in reduced demand and reduced revenue.

Failure to continuously reduce operating and capital costs for the Company’s facilities that deploy its technologies may impact adoption of its products and could negatively impact its business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Our business and results of operations are sensitive to a number of factors, both within and outside our control. In the event of a sustained reduction in revenues, for whatever reason, it may be necessary to implement an expense reduction plan. The successful implementation of an expense reduction plan, if and when deemed advisable by management, depends on many factors, including our ability to identify the need for such a plan in a timely manner, to effectively implement such a plan, as well as certain factors which are beyond our control, including economic conditions, labor market conditions and ability to maintain its management team to implement the plan. Any one of these factors, or other unforeseen factors, could have a material adverse effect on our ability to implement any targeted cost savings to stabilize its results of operations. Furthermore, if we are unable to reduce operating costs, we may be unable or substantially delayed from expanding and commercializing the business.

Construction of the Company’s facilities may not be completed in the expected timeframe or in a cost-effective manner. Any significant delays in the construction of plants could severely impact its business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

We have not completed development for all of our planned properties, and do not expect to have full annual production from all of our properties until market conditions permit us to complete these development plans. We expect to incur significant capital expenditures until we have completed the development of our properties. In addition, the development of our properties involves numerous regulatory, environmental, political and legal uncertainties that are beyond its control, and that may cause delays in, or increase the costs associated with, their completion. Accordingly, we may not be able to complete the development of the properties on schedule, at the budgeted cost or at all, and any delays beyond the expected development periods or increased costs above those expected to be incurred could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Risks Related to the Company’s Legal, Regulatory, and Environmental, Health and Safety Matters

The Company and its industry partners use hazardous materials and must comply with applicable environmental, health and safety laws and regulations. Any claims relating to improper handling, storage or disposal of these materials or noncompliance with applicable laws and regulations could adversely affect the business.

The Company and its industry partners use hazardous chemicals and biological materials and are subject to a variety of international, federal, state and local laws and regulations governing the use, generation, manufacture, storage, handling and disposal of these materials. Although the Company and its industry partners have implemented safety procedures for handling and disposing of these materials and waste products, we cannot be sure that our safety measures are compliant with legal requirements or adequate to eliminate the risk of accidental injury or contamination. In the event of contamination or injury, we could be held liable for any resulting damages, and any liability could exceed its insurance coverage. There can be no assurance that neither the Company nor any of its industry partners will not violate environmental, health and safety laws as a result of human error, accident, equipment failure or other causes. Compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations is expensive and time consuming, and the failure to comply with past, present, or future laws could result in the imposition of fines, third-party property damage, product liability and personal injury claims, investigation and remediation costs, the suspension of production, or a cessation of operations. Our liability in such an event may exceed our total assets. Liability under environmental laws can be joint and several and without regard to comparative faults. Environmental laws could become more stringent over time, imposing greater compliance costs and increasing risks and penalties associated with violations, which could impair our research, development or production efforts and harm its business. Accordingly, violations of present and future environmental laws by the Company or any of its industry partners could restrict our ability to develop and commercialize chemicals using its processes, build out or expand facilities, or pursue certain technologies, and could require us and our industry partners to acquire equipment or incur potentially significant costs to comply with environmental regulations. In addition, our hazardous materials and environmental laws and regulations related risks may augment as we expand our international operations, including imposition of laws and regulations impacting its ability to transfer hazardous chemicals and biological materials between countries.

The Company and its industry partners are subject to extensive international, national and subnational laws and regulations, and any changes in relevant laws or regulations, or failure to comply with these laws and regulations could have a material adverse effect on its business.

Our primary operations are in the United States, and we maintain contractual relationships with partners and suppliers in the United Kingdom, Europe and other locations. We are also continuing to invest to increase our presence in the United States, the United Kingdom and Europe. Managing this expansion requires additional resources and controls, and could subject us to risks associated with international operations, including:

  • conformity with applicable business customs, including translation into foreign languages and associated expenses;
  • challenges in arranging, and availability of, financing for customers;
  • potential changes to our established business model;
  • cost of alternative power sources, which could vary meaningfully in each location;
  • difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations in an environment of diverse culture, laws, and customers, and the increased travel, infrastructure, and legal and compliance costs associated with international operations;
  • installation challenges, including those associated with local licensing and permitting requirements;
  • different levels of demand among commercial, industrial and residential customers;
  • compliance with multiple, potentially conflicting and changing governmental laws, regulations, certifications, and permitting processes including environmental, banking, employment, tax, information security, privacy, and data protection laws and regulations such as the European Union (the “EU”) General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), national legislation implementing the same and changing requirements for legally transferring data out of the European Economic Area;
  • compliance with U.S. and foreign anti-bribery laws including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) and the United Kingdom Anti-Bribery Act;
  • conforming products to various international regulatory and safety requirements;

20

  • difficulty in establishing, staffing and managing foreign operations;
  • difficulties in collecting payments in foreign currencies and associated foreign currency exposure;
  • restrictions on repatriation of earnings;
  • compliance with potentially conflicting and changing laws of taxing jurisdictions and compliance with applicable tax laws as they relate to international operations, the complexity and adverse consequences of such tax laws, and potentially adverse tax consequences due to changes in such tax laws; and
  • challenges in obtaining intellectual property protection, policing the unauthorized use of intellectual property or pursuing enforcement of intellectual property rights;
  • geopolitical turmoil, including the ongoing invasion of the Ukraine by Russia or increased trade restrictions between European Union, Russia, China and other countries, social unrest, political instability, terrorism, or other acts of war which may further adversely impact supply chains, transportation and logistics; and
  • regional economic and political conditions.

In addition, any continued expansion is likely to involve the incurrence of significant upfront capital expenditures. As a result of these risks, our current expansion efforts and potential future international expansion efforts may not be successful.

The Company’s technology deployment sites require permitting and planning, some of which are in line with petrochemical standards. Any delays or being unable to secure these may adversely affect its deployment schedule.

As a technology company partnering with other companies in the alternative energy, fuel, and chemical industry, the Company and its industry partners are subject to extensive regulatory laws, rules and regulations in a variety of jurisdictions. For example, the Toxic Substances Control Act, or TSCA, and analogous state laws and regulations impose requirements on the use, storage, and disposal of chemicals. A similar program exists in the European Union, called REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemical Substances). The Occupational Safety and Health Act and analogous state laws and regulations govern the protection of the health and safety of employees. The Clean Air Act and analogous state laws and regulations impose obligations related to air emissions. CERCLA (Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act) and analogous state laws and regulations govern the cleanup of hazardous substances. The Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act, and analogous state laws and regulations govern discharges into waters. In addition, AGIG and its industry partners are or will be required to obtain and maintain various approvals, permits, licenses, registrations, certifications and other requirements, such as air emission and water discharge permits, construction permits, boiler licenses and obtaining Microbial Commercial Activity Notices from the EPA. The development of new processes, manufacture of new products, commercial sales of our products as well as geographic expansion, and in particular international expansion, will subject the Company and/or its industry partners to additional regulatory rules and regulations.

As a condition to granting the permits and other approvals necessary for operating the Company and its partners’ production plants, regulators could likewise make demands that increase our construction and operating costs, and result in the procurement of additional financing. Failure to obtain and comply with all applicable permits and other approvals could halt construction and subject us and our partners to future claims. We therefore cannot guarantee procurement or compliance with the terms of all permits and all other approvals needed to complete the Company and its partners’ production plants.

In addition to actual plant operations, liabilities could arise from investigation and cleanup of environmental contamination at the Company and its partners’ production plants. The Company and its partners may also be subject to third-party claims alleging property damage or personal injury due to the release of or exposure to hazardous substances. In addition, new laws, new regulations, new interpretations of existing laws or regulations, future governmental enforcement of environmental laws, or other developments could result in significant expenditures.

Any failure by the Company or its industry partners to comply with applicable regulatory rules and regulations could harm its reputation as well as its business, financial condition and operating results. In addition, regulatory approvals, registrations, permits, licenses, certifications and other requirements may be denied or rescinded, resulting in significant delays, additional costs and abandonment of certain planned activities, or require us to engage in costly and time-consuming efforts to remediate. Compliance with applicable regulatory rules and regulations can be costly and time consuming.

The Company may be subject to product liability claims, which could result in material expense, diversion of management time and attention and damage to its business, reputation and brand.

We could be subject to claims that our products or technologies are defective or have malfunctioned, or even that persons were injured or purported to be injured as a result of such defects, and our customers may bring legal claims against us to attempt to hold us liable. Any insurance that we carry may not be sufficient, or it may not apply to all situations. Similarly, to the extent that such malfunctions are related to components obtained from third-party vendors, such vendors may not assume responsibility for such malfunctions. Any of these events could adversely affect our brand, relationships with customers and vendors, operating results or financial conditions.

Any defects or errors in product or services offerings, or the perception of such defects or errors, or other performance problems could result in any of the following, each of which could adversely affect our business and results of our operations:

  • expenditure of significant financial and product development resources, including recalls, in efforts to analyze, correct, eliminate or work around errors or defects;
  • loss of existing or potential customers or partners;
  • interruptions or delays in sales;
  • delayed or lost revenue;
  • delay or failure to attain market acceptance;
  • delay in the development or release of new functionality or improvements;
  • negative publicity and reputational harm;
  • sales credits or refunds;
  • exposure of confidential or proprietary information;
  • diversion of development and customer service resources;
  • breach of warranty claims;
  • legal claims under applicable laws, rules and regulations; and
  • an increase in collection cycles for accounts receivable or the expense and risk of litigation.

23

Although we have contractual protections, such as warranty disclaimers and limitation of liability provisions, in many of our agreements with customers, resellers and other business partners, such protections may not be uniformly implemented in all contracts and, where implemented, may not fully or effectively protect from claims by customers, reseller, business partners or other third parties. Any insurance coverage or indemnification obligations of suppliers may not adequately cover all such claims or cover only a portion of such claims. A successful product liability, warranty, or other similar claim could have an adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial conditions. In addition, even claims that ultimately are unsuccessful could result in expenditure of funds in litigation, divert our time and other resources and cause reputational harm.

Risks Related to the Company’s Intellectual Property

The Company has non-exclusive service agreements or licenses to some of its intellectual property related to its technological offering.

The Company is a party to master license and service agreements with Alterra Energy LLC (“Alterra”), which allows us access to develop multiple facilities. We expect to enter into additional strategic partnering arrangements in the future. Under our existing agreements, we share, and would share, develop, to various degrees, intellectual property and know-how. Any disputes as to ownership of intellectual property and know-how with a partner that may arise could encumber or prevent us using the disputed technology, could harm our relationship with the relevant partner and would likely negatively affect our commercialization plans with respect to that technology. Additionally, litigation may be necessary to resolve disputes as to the ownership of intellectual property rights as between the Company and its industry partners, which can be costly, distracting to management and can harm its reputation and the value of its Company. Further, we may not be successful in defending our intellectual property rights in any such litigation, and if we are unsuccessful, the value of the Company could be seriously harmed.

The Company’s failure to protect its intellectual property and proprietary technology may significantly impair its competitive advantage.

Our success and ability to compete depend in large part upon protecting our proprietary technology. We rely on a combination of patent, trademark and trade secret protection, confidentiality, nondisclosure and non-use agreements to protect our proprietary rights. The steps we have taken may not be sufficient to prevent the misappropriation of its intellectual property, particularly in foreign countries where the laws may not protect its proprietary rights as fully as in the United States. The patent and trademark law and trade secret protection may not be adequate to deter third party infringement or misappropriation of our patents, trademarks and similar proprietary rights.

The Company’s patent rights may not provide commercially meaningful protection against competition.

The rights granted under any issued patents may not provide the Company with proprietary protection or competitive advantages. The claims under any patents that issue from our patent applications may not be broad enough to prevent others from developing technologies that are similar or that achieve results similar to ours. It is also possible that the intellectual property rights of others will bar the Company from licensing and from exploiting any patents that are issued from its pending applications. Numerous patents and pending patent applications owned by others exist in the fields in which we have developed and are developing our technology. These patents and patent applications might have priority over our patent applications and could subject our patent applications to invalidation. Finally, in addition to those who may claim priority, any of our existing or pending patents may also be challenged by others on the basis that they are otherwise invalid or unenforceable.

The Company may face costly intellectual property infringement claims, the result of which would decrease the amount of cash available to operate and complete its business plan.

We anticipate that, from time to time, we will receive communications from third parties asserting that we are infringing certain patents and other intellectual property rights of others or seeking indemnification against alleged infringement. If anticipated claims arise, we will evaluate their merits. Any claims of infringement brought forth by third parties could result in protracted and costly litigation, damages for infringement, and the necessity of obtaining a license relating to one or more of our products or current or future technologies, which may not be available on commercially reasonable terms or at all. Litigation, which could result in substantial costs to the Company and diversion of its resources, may be necessary to enforce its patents or other intellectual property rights or to defend it against claimed infringement of the rights of others. Any intellectual property litigation and the failure to obtain necessary licenses or other rights could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Company may be involved in lawsuits to protect or enforce its patents or the patents of its licensors, or lawsuits asserted by a third party, which could be expensive, time consuming, and unsuccessful.

Competitors may infringe our patent, trademarks, copyrights or other intellectual property. To counter infringement or unauthorized use, we may be required to file infringement claims, which can be expensive and time consuming and divert the time and attention of our management and scientific personnel. Any claims we assert against perceived infringers could provoke these parties to assert counterclaims against us alleging that we infringe their patents, in addition to counterclaims asserting that our patents are invalid or unenforceable, or both. In any patent infringement proceeding, there is a risk that a court will decide that a patent of ours is invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, and that it does not have the right to stop the other party from using the invention at issue. There is also a risk that, even if the validity of such patents is upheld, the court will construe the patent’s claims narrowly or decide that we do not have the right to stop the other party from using the invention at issue on the grounds that its patent claims do not cover the invention. An adverse outcome in a litigation or proceeding involving the Company’s patent could limit its ability to assert those patents against those parties or other competitors and may curtail or preclude its ability to exclude third parties from making and selling similar or competitive products. Similarly, if our assets trademark infringement claims, a court may determine that the marks we have asserted are invalid or unenforceable, or that the party against whom we have asserted trademark infringement has superior rights to the trademarks in question. In this case, we could ultimately be forced to cease use of such trademarks.

Even if we establish infringement, the court may decide not to grant an injunction against further infringing activity and instead award only monetary damages, which may or may not be an adequate remedy. Furthermore, because of the substantial amount of discovery required in connection with intellectual property litigation, there is a risk that some of our confidential information could be compromised by disclosure during litigation. There could also be public announcements of the results of hearings, motions, or other interim proceedings or developments. If securities analysts or investors perceive these results to be negative, it could adversely affect the price of the Company’s common shares. Moreover, there can be no assurance that we will have sufficient financial or other resources to file and pursue such infringement claims, which typically last for years before they are concluded. Even if we ultimately prevail in such claims, the monetary cost of such litigation and the diversion of the attention of its management and scientific personnel could outweigh any benefit we receive as a result of the proceedings.

Additionally, for certain of the Company’s existing and future in-licensed patent rights, it may not have the right to bring suit for infringement and may have to rely on third parties to enforce these rights for it. If we cannot or choose not to take action against those it believes infringe its intellectual property rights, we may have difficulty competing in certain markets where such potential infringers conduct their business, and its commercialization efforts may suffer as a result.

The Company relies in part on trade secrets to protect its technology, and its failure to obtain or maintain trade secret protection could harm its business.

We rely on trade secrets to protect some of our technology and proprietary information, especially where we believe patent protection is not appropriate or obtainable. However, trade secrets are difficult to protect. Litigating a claim that a third party had illegally obtained and used our trade secrets would be expensive and time-consuming, and the outcome would be unpredictable. Moreover, if our competitors independently develop similar knowledge, methods and know-how, it will be difficult for us to enforce our rights, and the business could be harmed.

Trade secrets can be difficult to protect and enforce, and our inability to do so could adversely affect our competitive position.

In addition to the protection afforded by patents, we rely on trade secret protection and confidentiality agreements to protect proprietary know-how that is not patentable or that we elect not to patent, processes for which patents are difficult to enforce, and information or technology that is not covered by patents. Aspects of our manufacturing process are protected by trade secrets. However, trade secrets can be difficult to protect and some courts inside and outside the United States are less willing or unwilling to protect trade secrets.

We seek to protect our proprietary know-how, trade secrets and processes, in part, by entering into confidentiality agreements and, if applicable, material transfer agreements, consulting agreements or other similar agreements with its employees, consultants, scientific advisors, CROs, manufacturers and contractors. These agreements typically limit the rights of third parties to use or disclose our confidential information. However, we may not be able to prevent the unauthorized disclosure or use of our technical know-how or other trade secrets by the parties to these agreements, despite the existence generally of confidentiality agreements and other contractual restrictions. We cannot guarantee that we have entered into such agreements with each party that may have or have had access to its trade secrets or proprietary processes. Monitoring unauthorized uses and disclosures is difficult, and we do not know whether the steps we have taken to protect our proprietary know-how and trade secrets will be effective. If any of our employees, collaborators, CROs, manufacturers, consultants, advisors and other third parties who are parties to these agreements breaches or violates the terms of any of these agreements, we may not have adequate remedies for any such breach or violation. Enforcing a claim that a party illegally disclosed or misappropriated by a trade secret is difficult, expensive, and time-consuming, and the outcome is unpredictable. As a result, we could lose its trade secrets. We also seek to preserve the integrity and confidentiality of its data and trade secrets by maintaining physical security of its premises and physical and electronic security of its information technology systems. While we have confidence in these security measures, they may still be breached, and we may not have adequate remedies for any breach.

In addition, our trade secrets may otherwise become known or be independently discovered by competitors. Competitors could purchase our product candidates, if approved, an attempt to replicate some or all of the competitive advantages we derive from our development efforts, willfully infringe, misappropriate or otherwise violate our intellectual property rights, design around our protected know-how and trade secrets, or develop their own competitive technologies that fall outside of our intellectual property rights. If any of our trade secrets were to be lawfully obtained or independently developed by a competitor, we would have no right to prevent them, or those to whom they communicate such trade secrets, from using that technology or information to compete with us. If our trade secrets are not adequately protected so as to protect its market against competitors’ products and technologies, our competitive position could be adversely affected.

The Company depends on certain technologies that are sold or licensed to it. It does not control these technologies or own the intellectual rights to these properties, and any loss of its rights to them could prevent it from developing its process technologies.

The Company depends on certain technologies that are sold or licensed to it. It does not currently own any intellectual property rights or the patents that underlie these licenses. Our rights to use the technologies we license are subject to the negotiation of, continuation of and compliance with the terms of those licenses. Thus, these patents and patent applications are not written by the Company or its attorneys, and the Company did not have control over the drafting and prosecution. The former patent owners and Company licensors might not have given the same attention to the drafting and prosecution of these patents and applications as we would have if it had been the owners of the patents and applications and had control over the drafting. Moreover, under certain of our licenses, patent prosecution activities remain under the control of the licensor. We cannot be certain that drafting of the licensed patents and patent applications, or patent prosecution, by the licensors have been or will be conducted in compliance with applicable laws and regulations or will result in valid and enforceable patents and other intellectual property rights.

Legal action could be initiated against the owners of the technologies that we license and an adverse outcome in such legal action could harm our business because it might prevent such companies or institutions from continuing to license technology that we may need to operate the business. In addition, such licensors may resolve such litigation in a way that benefits them but adversely affects our ability to have freedom to operate to develop and commercialize its products.

General Risks Related to the Company

Conditions in the financial markets and economic conditions in general may adversely affect the Company’s ability to raise additional capital, execute its business plan, or remain in business.

The business environment in which we operate has been impacted by the effects of worldwide macroeconomic uncertainty. Economic activity improved slightly during 2025; however, economic concerns remain as a result of the cumulative weight of uncertainty regarding the economic conditions domestically and in foreign countries, including global political hostilities and other financial crises. Inflation has become elevated, reflecting demand and supply imbalances, supply chain issues, higher energy prices, fiscal stimulus, and broader price pressures. Uncertainty surrounding the near-term direction of global markets, and the potential impact of these trends on the global economy, are expected to persist for the near term. Strategic risk, including threats to business models from rising interest rates and modest economic growth, remains high.

It is difficult to predict the extent to which these challenging economic conditions will persist or whether recent progress in the economic recovery will instead shift to the potential for further decline. If the economy does weaken in the future, it is uncertain how our business would be affected and whether it would be able successfully to mitigate any such effects on its business. Accordingly, these factors in the global economy could have an adverse effect on our ability to raise additional capital, execute its business plan or remain in business. Weakness and volatility in the capital markets and the economy, in general or as a result of macroeconomic conditions such as rising inflation, could limit our access to capital markets and increase our costs of borrowing.

If the Company loses key personnel or is unable to attract, integrate and retain additional key personnel, it could harm its ability to meet its business objectives.

Our success depends to a significant degree upon the technical and management skills of its senior management team. The loss of the services of any of these individuals could have a material adverse effect on our ability to achieve our corporate objectives and successfully execute our business plan. We plan to implement an executive compensation policy that includes variable compensation based on performance as well as share-based compensation plans for the benefit of its key employees; however, we cannot guarantee that this policy will be sufficient to retain these key employees. Our success also will depend upon our ability to attract and retain additional qualified management, marketing, technical, and sales executives and personnel. We compete for key personnel against numerous companies, including larger, more established companies with significantly greater financial resources than we possess. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in attracting or retaining such personnel, and the failure to do so could harm its operations and its growth prospects.

If the Company experiences a significant disruption in its information technology systems, including security breaches, or if it fails to implement new systems and software successfully, its business operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.

We rely on information technology systems to keep financial records and corporate records, communicate with staff and external parties, and operate other critical functions, including sales and manufacturing processes. Our information technology systems are potentially vulnerable to disruption due to breakdown or malicious intrusion and computer viruses. If we were to experience a prolonged system disruption in our information technology systems, it could negatively impact the coordination of our sales, planning and manufacturing activities, which could adversely affect the business. In addition, in order to maximize our information technology efficiency, we have physically consolidated our primary corporate data and computer operations. This concentration, however, exposes the Company to a greater risk of disruption to its internal information technology systems. Although we maintain offsite back-ups of its data, if operations at our facilities were disrupted, it may cause a material disruption in our business if it is not capable of restoring function on an acceptable time frame.

In addition, our information technology systems are potentially vulnerable to cyber-attacks or other data security breaches -whether employees or others-which may expose sensitive data to unauthorized persons. Such data security breaches could lead to the loss of trade secrets or other intellectual property or could lead to the public exposure of sensitive and confidential information of our employees, customers, suppliers and others, any of which could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.

While we have implemented a number of protective measures, including firewalls, antivirus and malware detection tools, patches, log monitors, routine back-ups, system audits, routine password modifications and disaster recovery procedures, such measures may not be adequate or implemented properly to prevent or fully address the adverse effect of such events, and in some cases, we may be unaware of an incident or its magnitude and effects. If we are unable to prevent such security breaches or privacy violations or implement satisfactory remedial measures, our operations could be disrupted, and we may suffer loss of reputation, financial loss and other regulatory penalties because of lost or misappropriated information. In addition, these breaches and other inappropriate access can be difficult to detect, and any delay in identifying them may lead to increased harm of the type described above.

General Risk Factors

Economic uncertainties or downturns, or political changes, in the United States and globally, could limit the availability of funds available to our customers and potential customers, which could materially adversely affect our business.

Our results of operations could be adversely affected by general conditions in the economy and financial markets, both in the U.S. and globally, including conditions that are outside of our control, such as the continuing uncertainty regarding changes to tariffs, global supply chain disruptions, the recent inflation in the United States and the foreign and domestic government sanctions imposed on Russia as a result of its recent invasion of Ukraine. There continues to be volatility and disruptions in the capital and credit markets, and a severe or prolonged economic downturn, including, but not limited to as a result of such events, could result in a variety of risks to our business, including weakened demand for our products and our ability to raise additional capital when needed on acceptable terms, if at all. A weak or declining economy could strain our suppliers, possibly resulting in supply disruption, or cause delays in payments for our services. In turn, we may be required to increase our allowance for doubtful accounts, which would adversely affect our financial results. Any of the foregoing could harm our business, and we cannot anticipate all the ways in which the current economic climate and financial market conditions could adversely impact our business.

Changes in government trade policies, including the imposition of tariffs and export restrictions, could have an adverse impact on our business operations and sales.

The United States or foreign governments have enacted changes in government trade policies that could adversely impact our ability to sell products in certain countries, particularly in China. For example, the U.S. government has imposed tariffs on certain Chinese imports, and, in return, the Chinese government has imposed or proposed tariffs on certain U.S. products. Additionally, export restrictions imposed by the U.S. government, including the addition of licensing requirements by the United States Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security (“BIS”) through the addition of companies to the BIS Entity List, may require us to suspend our business with certain international customers if we conclude or are notified by the U.S. government that such business presents a risk of noncompliance with U.S. regulations. We cannot predict what actions may ultimately be taken with respect to tariffs or trade relations between certain countries, what products may be subject to such actions, or what actions may be taken by other countries in response. It also may not be possible to anticipate the timing or duration of such tariffs, export restrictions, or other regulatory actions. These government trade policies may materially adversely affect our sales and operations with current customers as well as impede our ability to develop relationships with new customers.

There is a risk of further escalation and retaliatory actions between the U.S. and other foreign governments. If significant tariffs or other restrictions are placed on goods exported from China or any related counter-measures are taken, our revenue and results of operations may be materially harmed. These tariffs may also make our customers’ products more expensive for consumers, which may reduce consumer demand.

There is also a risk that the U.S. government may seek to implement more protective trade measures, not just with respect to China but with respect to other countries as well, such as those imposed on Russia in connection with its recent invasion of Ukraine. This could include new or higher tariffs and even more restrictive trade barriers, such as prohibiting certain types of, or all sales of certain products or products sold by certain parties into the U.S. Any increased trade barriers or restrictions on global trade could have a materially adverse impact on our business and financial results.

We may be subject to litigation for a variety of claims, which could adversely affect our results of operations, harm our reputation, or otherwise negatively impact our business.

We may be subject to litigation for a variety of claims arising from our normal business activities. These may include claims, suits, and proceedings involving labor and employment, wage and hour, commercial and other matters. The outcome of any litigation, regardless of its merits, is inherently uncertain. Any claims and lawsuits, and the disposition of such claims and lawsuits, could be time-consuming and expensive to resolve, divert management attention and resources, and lead to attempts on the part of other parties to pursue similar claims. Any adverse determination related to litigation could adversely affect our results of operations, harm our reputation or otherwise negatively impact our business. In addition, depending on the nature and timing of any such dispute, a resolution of a legal matter could materially affect our future operating results, our cash flows or both.

Company and Business Risks – Legacy Oil and Gas Business

Our ability to operate our oil and gas business profitably is highly dependent on energy prices. A substantial or extended decline in oil and natural gas prices may adversely affect our oil and gas business.

The price we receive for our oil and natural gas production heavily influences our revenue, profitability, access to capital, and future rate of growth. Oil and natural gas are commodities, and, therefore, their prices are subject to wide fluctuations in response to relatively minor changes in supply and demand. Historically, the markets for oil and natural gas have been volatile. These markets will likely continue to be volatile in the future. The prices we receive for our production depend on numerous factors beyond our control. These factors include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • changes in global supply and demand for oil and natural gas, including changes in demand resulting from general and specific economic conditions relating to the business cycle and other factors (e.g., global health pandemics such as COVID-19);
  • the actions of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”);
  • the price and quantity of imports of foreign oil and natural gas;
  • political conditions, including embargoes, in or affecting other oil-producing activity;
  • the level of global oil and natural gas exploration and production activity;
  • the level of global oil and natural gas inventories;
  • weather conditions;
  • technological advances affecting energy consumption, including renewable energy initiatives that result in energy consumption transitioning away from fossil fuels; and
  • the price and availability of alternative fuels.

Global economic growth drives demand for energy from all sources, including fossil fuels. Should the U.S. and global economies experience weakness, demand for energy may decline. Similarly, should growth in global energy production outstrip demand, excess supplies may arise. Declines in demand and excess supplies may result in accompanying declines in commodity prices and deterioration of our financial position along with our ability to operate profitably and our ability to obtain financing to support operations.

We may incur substantial uninsured losses and be subject to substantial liability claims as a result of our oil and natural gas operations.

We are not insured against all risks. Losses and liabilities arising from uninsured and underinsured events could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. Our oil and natural gas exploration and production activities are subject to all of the operating risks associated with drilling for and producing oil and natural gas, including the possibility of:

  • environmental hazards, such as uncontrollable flows of oil, natural gas, brine, well fluids, toxic gas or other pollution into the environment, including groundwater and shoreline contamination;
  • abnormally pressured formations;
  • mechanical difficulties, such as stuck oil field drilling and service tools and casing collapse;
  • fires and explosions;
  • personal injuries and death; and
  • natural disasters.

Any of these risks could adversely affect our ability to conduct operations or result in substantial losses to our company. We may elect not to obtain insurance if we believe that the cost of available insurance is excessive relative to the risks presented. In addition, pollution and environmental risks generally are not fully insurable. The occurrence of a significant accident or other event that is not fully covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

If oil and natural gas prices decrease, we may be required to take write-downs of the carrying values of our oil and natural gas properties.

Accounting rules require that we review periodically the carrying value of our oil and natural gas properties for possible impairment. Based on specific market factors and circumstances at the time of prospective impairment reviews, and the continuing evaluation of development plans, production data, economics and other factors, we have written down the carrying value of our oil and natural gas properties periodically and may be required to further write down the carrying value of oil and gas properties in the future. A write-down would constitute a non-cash charge to earnings. It is likely the cumulative effect of a write-down could also negatively impact the trading price of our securities.

Risks Relating to our Common Stock

The price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly, and this may make it difficult to resell common stock when, or at prices, desired.

The price of our common stock constantly changes. We expect that the market price of our common stock will continue to fluctuate.

Our stock price may fluctuate as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are beyond our control. These factors include:

  • quarterly variations in our operating results;
  • operating results that vary from the expectations of management, securities analysts and investors;
  • changes in expectations as to our future financial performance;
  • announcements by us, our partners or our competitors of leasing and drilling activities;
  • the operating and securities price performance of other companies that investors believe are comparable to us;
  • future sales of our equity or equity-related securities;
  • changes in general conditions in our industry and in the economy, the financial markets and the domestic or international political situation;
  • fluctuations in oil and gas prices;
  • departures of key personnel; and
  • regulatory considerations.

The stock market periodically experiences extreme prices and volume fluctuations. This volatility has had a significant effect on the market price of securities issued by many companies for reasons often unrelated to their operating performance. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect our stock price, regardless of our operating results.

Our common stock is currently listed on the NYSE American LLC (“NYSE American”). In the event that NYSE American delists our common stock from trading, it could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in our securities and subject us to additional trading restrictions.

Should we fail to satisfy the continued listing requirements for remaining listed on NYSE American, such as the corporate governance requirements or the minimum closing bid price requirement, NYSE American may take steps to delist our common stock. Such a delisting would likely have a negative effect on the price of our common stock and would impair your ability to sell or purchase our common stock when you wish to do so. In the event of a delisting, we would take actions to restore our compliance with NYSE American’s listing requirements, but we can provide no assurance that any such action taken by us would allow our common stock to become listed again, stabilize the market price or improve the liquidity of our common stock, prevent our common stock from dropping below NYSE American’s minimum bid price requirement or prevent future non-compliance with such listing requirements.

If we cannot maintain the listing of our common stock for trading on NYSE American, we could face significant material adverse consequences, including:

  • a limited availability of market quotations for our common stock;
  • reduced liquidity for our common stock;
  • a determination that our common stock is a “penny stock” which will require brokers trading in our common stock to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our common stock;
  • a limited amount of news and analyst coverage; and
  • a decreased ability to issue additional common stock or obtain additional financing in the future.

If our shares of common stock become subject to the penny stock rules, it would become more difficult to trade our shares.

The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or authorized for quotation on certain automated quotation systems, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. If we do not retain a listing on the NYSE American or another national securities exchange and if the price of our common stock is less than $5.00, our common stock will be deemed a penny stock. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, before a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document containing specified information. In addition, the penny stock rules require that before effecting any transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, a broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive (i) the purchaser’s written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement; (ii) a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks; and (iii) a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our common stock, and therefore stockholders may have difficulty selling their shares.

The sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock may affect our stock price.

We will require additional capital to support our renewables business plan and may issue additional shares of our common stock or equity-related securities to secure such capital. Future sales of substantial amounts of our common stock or equity-related securities in the public market or privately, or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect prevailing trading prices of our common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through future offerings of equity or equity-related securities. No prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, that future sales of shares of common stock or the availability of shares of common stock for future sale will have on the trading price of our common stock.

We entered into several strategic financings designed to strengthen, liquidity, and diversify our capital sources. The principal transactions are summarized below.

On July 10, 2025, the Company entered into a common stock purchase agreement (the “ELOC Agreement”) with an institutional investor (“ELOC Investor”), providing for a 24-month committed equity financing facility, pursuant to which the ELOC Investor has committed to purchase, at the Company’s direction in its sole discretion, up to an aggregate of $100,000,000 of Common Stock, subject to certain limitations set forth in the ELOC Agreement. Since December 31, 2025, the Company issued 868,000 shares of Common Stock under the ELOC Agreement, for total gross proceeds of $2,569,097.

On July 10, 2025, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) with an institutional investor (the “Note Investor”), pursuant to which the Company sold, and the Note Investor purchased, a senior secured convertible note (the “Senior Secured Convertible Note”) issued by the Company in the original principal amount of $5,434,783, which is convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $10.92 per share, subject to adjustment upon certain events. On November 12, 2025, the Note Investor assigned the Senior Secured Convertible Note for cash consideration. As of the date of this Report, the Senior Secured Convertible Note has not been converted.

Future capital raises may dilute your ownership and/or have other adverse effects on our operations.

If we raise additional capital by issuing equity securities, our existing stockholders’ percentage ownership will be reduced and these stockholders may experience substantial dilution. If we raise additional funds by issuing debt securities, these debt securities would have rights senior to those of our common stock and the terms of the debt securities issued could impose significant restrictions on our operations, including liens on our assets. If we raise additional funds through collaborations and licensing arrangements, we may be required to relinquish some rights to our intellectual property or candidate products, or to grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to us.

We will continue to incur increased costs as a result of operating as a public company, and our management will be required to devote substantial time to new compliance initiatives and corporate governance practices.

As a public company we will continue to incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the listing requirements of the NYSE American and other applicable securities rules and regulations impose various requirements on public companies, including establishment and maintenance of effective disclosure and financial controls and corporate governance practices. Our management and other personnel will need to devote a substantial amount of time to these compliance initiatives. Moreover, we expect these rules and regulations to substantially increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time consuming and costly. For example, we expect that these rules and regulations may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance and we may be required to incur substantial costs to maintain sufficient coverage. We cannot predict or estimate the amount or timing of additional costs we may incur to respond to these requirements. The impact of these requirements could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors, our board committees or as executive officers. The increased costs may require us to reduce costs in other areas of our business or increase the prices of our products once commercialized. Moreover, these rules and regulations are often subject to varying interpretations, in many cases due to their lack of specificity, and, as a result, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies. This could result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices.

We are a “smaller reporting company,” and the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to us as such may make our common shares less attractive to our stockholders and investors.

We are a “smaller reporting company” under the federal securities laws and, as such, are subject to scaled disclosure requirements afforded to such companies. For example, as a smaller reporting company, we are subject to reduced executive compensation disclosure requirements. Our stockholders and investors may find our common shares less attractive as a result of our status as a “smaller reporting company” and our reliance on the reduced disclosure requirements afforded to these companies. If some of our stockholders or investors find our common shares less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common shares and the market price of our common shares may be more volatile.

We are a “controlled company” within the meaning of NYSE American rules and, as a result, qualify for, and may rely on, exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements. Holders of our common stock will not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to such requirements.

Our subsidiary, Abundia Financial, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Abundia Financial”) controls a majority of the combined voting power of our stock entitled to vote. As a result, we are a “controlled company” within the meaning of the NYSE American corporate governance standards. Under these rules, a company of which more than 50% of the voting power in the election of directors is held by an individual, group or another company is a “controlled company” and may elect not to comply with certain corporate governance requirements, including:

  • a majority of our board of directors consist of independent directors;
  • our board of directors have a compensation committee that is comprised entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities; and
  • our board of directors have a nominating and corporate governance committee that is comprised entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities.

Although we do not currently intend to utilize any of these exemptions, we may utilize any or all of these exemptions at our election and at any time at our discretion prior to the time we cease to be a “controlled company.” Accordingly, to the extent we utilize these exemptions, our stockholders will not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all of these corporate governance requirements. If we were to avail ourselves of such exemptions, our stockholders would not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all of the NYSE American corporate governance requirements.

We presently do not intend to pay cash dividends on our common stock.

We have never paid cash dividends in the past, and we currently anticipate that no cash dividends will be paid on the common stock in the foreseeable future. This could make an investment in our common stock inappropriate for some investors, and may serve to narrow our potential sources of additional capital. While our dividend policy will be based on the operating results and capital needs of the business, it is anticipated that all earnings, if any, will be retained to finance the future expansion of our business.

Our Certificate of Incorporation and our Bylaws, as well as provisions of Delaware law, could make it difficult for a third party to acquire our company and also could limit the price that investors are willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock.

Delaware corporate law and our Certificate of Incorporation and our Bylaws contain provisions that could delay, deter or prevent a change in control of our Company or our management. These provisions could also discourage proxy contests and make it more difficult for our stockholders to elect directors and take other corporate actions without the concurrence of our management or board of directors. These provisions:

  • authorize our board of directors to issue “blank check” preferred stock, which is preferred stock that can be created and issued by our board of directors, without stockholder approval, with rights senior to those of our common stock;
  • provide for a staggered board of directors and three-year terms for directors, so that no more than one-third of our directors could be replaced at any annual meeting;
  • provide that directors may be removed only for cause; and
  • establish advance notice requirements for submitting nominations for election to the board of directors and for proposing matters that can be acted upon by stockholders at a meeting.

We are also subject to anti-takeover provisions under Delaware law, which could also delay or prevent a change of control. Taken together, these provisions of our charter, bylaws, and Delaware law may discourage transactions that otherwise could provide for the payment of a premium over prevailing market prices of our common stock and also could limit the price that investors are willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock.

Our Certificate of Incorporation and our Bylaws provide that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the exclusive forum for substantially all disputes between us and our stockholders, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers or employees.

Our Certificate of Incorporation and our Bylaws provide that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware is the exclusive forum for any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf; any action asserting a breach of fiduciary duty; any action asserting a claim against us arising pursuant to the DGCL, our Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws; or any action asserting a claim against us that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the exclusive forum provision does not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive or concurrent jurisdiction. Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act of the rules and regulations thereunder, and Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder, and notwithstanding the provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation and our Bylaws, compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder may not be waived by our investors. The choice of forum provision may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers or other employees, which may discourage such lawsuits against us and our directors, officers and other employees. Alternatively, if a court were to find the choice of forum provision contained in our Certificate of Incorporation and our Bylaws to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operation.

Cybersecurity

As filed, 1,266 characters, with its headings, lists and tables. Extracted from the main document; charts and exhibits are in the original on sec.gov.

We do not presently maintain any formal processes for assessing, identifying and managing material risks from cybersecurity threats.

We engage a consultant to maintain our website, email, financial record keeping and related internet capabilities, including, as necessary, addressing any cybersecurity incidents. To date, we have not experienced any material cybersecurity incidents. Given the nature of our operations (single location, minimal customer interface, no gathering of customer digital data, etc.), we do not believe that we are reasonably likely to face any material cybersecurity risks.

Our audit committee is tasked with oversight of risks from cybersecurity threats. Our audit committee interfaces with our consultant periodically to assess vulnerability to cybersecurity threats and determine actions to be taken in response to such threats. In the event risks are identified and actions are recommended by our consultant, our audit committee will communicate the same to our chief executive officer who is charged with interfacing with our consultant in addressing any identified cybersecurity threats. Similarly, if our officers become aware of material cybersecurity threats, they are charged with communicating the same to our audit committee.

Properties

As filed, 1,018 characters, with its headings, lists and tables. Extracted from the main document; charts and exhibits are in the original on sec.gov.

On July 11, 2025, the Company completed the purchase of a 25-acre site at the Cedar Port Industrial Park (“The Cedar Port Property”) located in Baytown, Texas from TGS Cedar Port Partners (“TGS”), a Texas limited partnership, for a total purchase price of approximately $8.6 million.

The Company plans to construct its first plastics recycling plant at the location, transforming plastic waste into pyrolysis oil. The strategically located site will be the foundation for a U.S. innovation hub dedicated to developing recycling, renewable and circular technologies supported by the industrial park’s robust infrastructure.

We currently lease approximately 1,400 square feet of office space in Houston, Texas as our executive offices. Management anticipates that our space will be sufficient for the foreseeable future. The average monthly rental under the lease, which expires on February 28, 2031, is approximately $3,800. A description of our interests in oil and gas properties is included in “Item 1”. Business.”

General

On July 1, 2025, the Company, as HUSA, acquired all of the outstanding units of AGIG. Prior to the Share Exchange, the Company previously operated as an independent oil and gas company, focusing on the development, exploration, exploitation, acquisition, and production of natural gas and crude oil properties, with its principal properties and operations located in the U.S. Permian Basin and additional properties in the Louisiana U.S. Gulf Coast region. The Company intends to continue to maintain its legacy of oil and gas assets as well as AGIG LLC’s business.

For accounting purposes, the Share Exchange is treated as a reverse acquisition, with AGIG as the surviving entity. As such, the historical financial statements of the accounting acquirer, AGIG, became the historical consolidated financial statements of the Company.

The Company now primarily operates as a low-carbon energy solutions company. Through our subsidiary, AGIG LLC, the Company is focused on using waste products to decarbonize the energy, fuels, and chemicals sector by providing renewable or recycled alternatives. AGIG uses a combination of proprietary, licensed and commercialized technologies to produce a complete process that turns waste plastics and biomass into crude or drop-in alternatives to fossil derived energy, fuels and chemicals. AGIG’s holistic approach has brought together the complete commercial chain with feedstocks, technology, a diverse management team, and world class off-take partners for the growing suite of products in place. Demand for these low-carbon products continues to grow due to regulatory requirements and industry commitments to decarbonize supply chains.

Recent Developments

Sales Pursuant to the ELOC Agreement

Since December 31, 2025, the Company issued 868,000 shares of Common Stock under the ELOC Agreement, for total gross proceeds of $2,569,097.

Restatement of Quarter Ended September 30, 2025

On February 2, 2026, the audit committee of the Company’s board of directors (the “Audit Committee” ), based on the recommendation of, and after consultation with, the Company’s management concluded that the Company’s previously issued unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 (the “Affected Financials”), and any reports, related earnings releases, investor presentations or similar communications for such periods should no longer be relied upon. The determination resulted from errors in the Affected Financials identified by the Company related to omitted non-cash transactions in the consolidated statement of operations. These non-cash transactions related to acquisition costs related to the reverse acquisition. Additionally, the Company corrected certain items that were previously identified and concluded as immaterial, individually, and in the aggregate, to its consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2025. These items primarily relate to amortization of debt discount and other payables misclassifications as well as two casting errors identified in the equity statement. These items impact General and administrative cost in the income statement, with a corresponding impact on the balance sheet and statement of changes in shareholders’ equity. These changes did not have any cash impact.

Placement Agent Agreement and Registered Direct Offering

On February 23, 2026, the Company closed an offering pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the “2026 Purchase Agreement”), entered into on February 19, 2026, with a certain institutional investor, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell, in a registered direct offering by the Company directly to the investor, (i) 4,134,175 shares of Common Stock and (ii) pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 1,800,543 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price equal to $0.001 per share (the “2026 Offering”). These pre-funded warrants were exercised on March 17th, 2026. The Company received gross proceeds of approximately $20.0 million before deducting the placement agent’s fees and related offering expenses.

In connection with the 2026 Offering, the Company entered into a placement agency agreement (the “2026 Placement Agency Agreement”) with Titan Partners Group LLC, a division of American Capital Partners, LLC (“Titan Partners”), pursuant to which the Company engaged Titan Partners as the placement agent in connection with the 2026 Offering. The Company agreed to pay Titan Partners a fee in cash equal to approximately 7.0% of the gross proceeds, a non-accountable expense allowance in the amount of 0.5% of the gross proceeds, as well as to issue to the Placement Agent placement agent warrants to purchase up to 118,694 shares of Common Stock, with an exercise price equal to 110% of the public offering price of the shares.

2025 Fiscal Year End Highlights

Capital Investments

During 2025, our capital investment expenditures related principally to the acquisition of the Cedar Port site in Baytown, TX, a 25-acre industrial site at a cost of $8,572,523. A further $630,830 of capital investment has been made in the year with the commencement of the build-out of the Abundia Innovation Center, the hub for the end-to-end lifecycle of producing renewable fuels and chemicals, and our operational headquarters.

Financing Activities

ELOC Drawdowns

On July 10, 2025, the Company entered into the ELOC Agreement with the ELOC Investor, providing for a 24-month committed equity financing facility, pursuant to which the ELOC Investor has committed to purchase, at the Company’s direction in its sole discretion, up to an aggregate of $100,000,000 of Common Stock, subject to certain limitations set forth in the ELOC Agreement.

The purchase price per share is equal to 96% of the lowest daily volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) during a specified measurement period following each purchase notice. The Company may issue up to 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock (exclusive of the commitment shares issued pursuant to the ELOC Agreement described below) under the ELOC, subject to a (i) 9.99% beneficial ownership cap, and (ii) a 19.99% exchange cap, unless shareholder approval is obtained or sales are made at or above the minimum price as defined by NYSE American rules.

The ELOC Agreement may be terminated by the Company at any time after commencement, provided the commitment fee and legal fees have been paid. The agreement automatically terminates upon the earlier of (i) full drawdown, (ii) expiration of the 24-month term, (iii) delisting, or (iv) bankruptcy events.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company issued 646,149 shares of Common Stock under the ELOC Agreement, for total gross proceeds of $3,925,972.

Debt Restructuring

Pursuant to an Assignment, Assumption and Release Agreement, dated November 12, 2025, BFH agreed to acquire $3,500,000 of the outstanding principal amount of the convertible note, dated July 10, 2025, originally used to finance the purchase of the Company’s Cedar Port property.

On November 19, 2025, the Company entered into a placement agency agreement (the “Placement Agent Agreement”) with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (“A.G.P.”), pursuant to which the Company engaged A.G.P. as the placement agent (the “Placement Agent”) in connection with a registered direct offering pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-290308), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on September 16, 2025 and became effective by operation of law on November 3, 2025 (the “Registration Statement”), as supplemented by a prospectus supplement dated November 19, 2025.

On November 21, 2025, we closed an offering (the “Offering”) pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), entered into on November 19, 2025, with certain investors (the “Investors”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell, in a registered direct offering by the Company directly to the Investors (the “Offering”), 2,285,715 shares (the “Shares”) of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”) to the Investors, at a price of $3.50 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $8,000,000 before deducting the placement agent’s fees and related offering expenses

Impairment Charge

During 2025, we incurred impairment charges of $1,546,900. $1,115,000 of the charges relate to the impairment of a license for a technology that the Company does not intend to use. On this basis the Company determined the licensed technology had no future economic benefit and therefore wrote off its full $1,115,000 carrying value as an impairment charge within the Renewables segment. The remaining $431,900 of the charge was attributable to the impairment of our legacy oil and gas assets due to declines in energy prices and increased operating expenses relating to our Reeves County properties.

Going Concern

For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had a net loss of approximately $29,460,935 and approximately $3,621,948, respectively, and will require additional capital in order to operate in the normal course of business and fund operating activities.

Based on the Company’s current projections, management believes there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue to operate as a going concern and fund its operations through at least the next twelve months following the issuance of these consolidated financial statements.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies

This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Certain accounting policies are particularly important to the understanding of our financial position and results of operations and require the application of significant judgment by our management or can be materially affected by changes from period to period in economic factors or conditions that are outside of our control. As a result, they are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. In applying these policies, management uses its judgment to determine the appropriate assumptions to be used in the determination of certain estimates. Those estimates are based on our historical operations, our future business plans and projected financial results, the terms of existing contracts, observance of trends in the industry, information provided by our customers, and information available from other outside sources, as appropriate. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. For information regarding our critical accounting policies as well as recent accounting pronouncements, see Note 3 of our consolidated financial statements.

Our management has discussed the development and selection of critical accounting estimates with the Board of Directors, and the Board of Directors has reviewed our disclosure relating to critical accounting estimates in this Annual Report. We believe the following are the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

In some cases, accounting standards allow more than one alternative accounting method for reporting. Such is the case with accounting for oil and gas activities described below. In those cases, our reported results of operations would be different should we employ an alternative accounting method.

Acquisitions and Business Combinations

For acquisitions meeting the definition of a business combination, the acquisition method of accounting is used. The consideration transferred for the acquired business is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values at the date of acquisition, including identifiable intangible assets. Any excess of the amount paid over the estimated fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired is allocated to goodwill. Acquisition-related costs, such as professional fees, are excluded from the consideration transferred and are expensed as incurred. The Company uses its best estimates and assumptions to assign fair value to the tangible and intangible assets acquired, and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date. The Company’s estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. During the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company may record adjustments to the fair value of these tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill.

Valuation of Warrants

Warrants are accounted in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40-15-7D. The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in FASB ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Common Stock and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.

Estimates used in Oil and Gas Reserves

Independent reserve engineers prepare the estimates of oil, natural gas liquids (“NGL”) and natural gas reserves and associated future net cash flows on an annal basis. The SEC has defined proved reserves as the estimated quantities of oil, NGL and natural gas that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions. The process of estimating oil, NGL, and natural gas reserves is complex, requiring significant judgment in the evaluation of available geological, geophysical, engineering, and economic data. In general, our estimates of future reserve volumes are primarily based on historical production on a well-to-well or property-to-property basis. The data for a given property may also change substantially over time as a result of numerous factors, including additional development activity, evolving production history and a continual reassessment of the viability of production under changing economic conditions. As a result, material revisions to existing reserve estimates occur from time to time. Although every reasonable effort is made to ensure that reserve estimates reported represent the most accurate assessments possible, the subjective assumptions and variances in available data for various properties increase the likelihood of significant changes in these estimates.

Impairments of long-lived assets

Oil and Gas

The Company uses the full cost method of accounting for oil and gas property acquisition, exploration and development activities. Under this method, all productive and nonproductive costs incurred in connection with the exploration for and development of oil and gas reserves are capitalized. Capitalized costs include lease acquisition, geological and geophysical work, delay rentals, costs of drilling, completing and equipping successful and unsuccessful oil and gas wells and related internal costs that can be directly identified with acquisition, exploration and development activities, but does not include any cost related to production, general corporate overhead or similar activities. Gain or loss on the sale or other disposition of oil and gas properties is not recognized unless significant amounts of oil and gas reserves are involved.

Other Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment in accordance with ASC 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment,” whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. These events or changes in circumstances include, but are not limited to, significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results, significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the overall business, significant negative industry or economic trends. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset group to the estimated undiscounted cash flows over the estimated remaining useful life of the primary asset included in the asset group. If the asset group is not recoverable, the impairment loss is calculated as the excess of the carrying value over the fair value.

Full Cost Method of Accounting for Oil and Gas Activities

We follow the full cost method of accounting for oil and gas property acquisition, exploration and development activities. Under this method, all productive and nonproductive costs incurred in connection with the exploration for and development of oil and gas reserves are capitalized. Capitalized costs include lease acquisition, geological and geophysical work, delay rentals, costs of drilling, completing and equipping successful and unsuccessful oil and gas wells and related internal costs that can be directly identified with acquisition, exploration and development activities, but does not include any cost related to production, general corporate overhead or similar activities. Gain or loss on the sale or other disposition of oil and gas properties is not recognized unless significant amounts of oil and gas reserves are involved. No corporate overhead has been capitalized as of December 31, 2025. The capitalized costs of oil and gas properties, plus estimated future development costs relating to proved reserves, are amortized on a units-of-production method over the estimated productive life of the reserves. Unevaluated oil and gas properties are excluded from this calculation. The capitalized oil and gas property costs, less accumulated amortization, are limited to an amount (the ceiling limitation) equal to the sum of: (a) the present value of estimated future net revenues from the projected production of proved oil and gas reserves, calculated using the average oil and natural gas sales price received by the Company as of the first trading day of each month over the preceding twelve months (such prices are held constant throughout the life of the properties) and a discount factor of 10%; (b) the cost of unproved and unevaluated properties excluded from the costs being amortized; (c) the lower of cost or estimated fair value of unproved properties included in the costs being amortized; and (d) related income tax effects. Costs in excess of this ceiling are charged to proved properties impairment expense.

Results of Operations

Statement of Operations

The following discussion compares our results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. In July 2025, we completed the Share Exchange and transitioned from a legacy oil and gas company to a development-stage low-carbon energy solutions company. As set out in Note 4 – Acquisition, the Share Exchange was accounted for as a reverse acquisition under ASC 805, with AGIG treated as the accounting acquirer and HUSA treated as the acquired company for financial reporting purposes. On this basis the operating results of the legacy oil and gas segment were included in the consolidated results of operations from the date of the Share Exchange which means that there is no comparative financial information included for this segment and that the operating results are for the period July 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025, as such no comparative analysis can be provided for the legacy oil and gas segment.

Segment Results

Renewables Segment

The Company’s renewables (“Renewables”) segment consists of our low-carbon fuels and renewable chemicals business operated through AGIG LLC.

Revenue. The Renewables segment did not generate revenue during the years ended December 31, 2025 or 2024, as commercial production has not commenced.

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses in the Renewables segment increased by $7,245,300 for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily reflecting higher corporate infrastructure and development costs. General and administrative expenses attributable to this segment totaled $10,584,333 for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $2,440,150 for the year ended December 31, 2024, driven by transaction-related professional fees, public company costs, stock-based compensation, and expanded operational support.

Research and development. Research and development expenses in the Renewables segment were $752,287 for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $1,651,170 for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease reflects lower pilot-scale testing and development activities in 2025 following the completion of certain early-stage research initiatives.

Impairment Charges. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Renewables segment recorded an impairment charge of $1,115,000 related to a technology license determined to have no future economic benefit based on changes in development plans. A comparable impairment charge of $1,000,000 was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2024, this related to another technology license that was determined to have no future economic value.

As a result, the Renewables segment reported an operating loss during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, consistent with its development-stage status.

Legacy Oil and Gas Segment

The Company’s legacy oil and gas (“Legacy Oil and Gas”) segment includes our historical oil and natural gas properties, which are no longer a strategic focus.

Revenue. Revenue from the Legacy Oil and Gas segment totaled $410,632 for the year ended December 31, 2025. The Legacy Oil and Gas segment did not recognize any revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024, as such revenue is attributable to HUSA prior to the Shares Exchange. All production was sold at prevailing market prices.

Operating Expenses and Impairment. Operating expenses totaled $221,053 during the year ended December 31, 2025 and such segment recorded impairment charges of $431,900, reflecting lower commodity prices and increased operating expenses affecting asset recoverability. No operating expenses or impairment charges for the Legacy Oil and Gas segment for the year ended December 31, 2024 were recognized, as such expenses and charges would be attributable to HUSA prior to the Shares Exchange.

The Company does not intend to allocate growth capital to this segment beyond expenditures required for compliance and maintenance.

Consolidated Operating Expenses

General and Administrative Expenses. Total consolidated general and administrative expenses were $10,584,333 for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $2,440,150 for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase of $8,144,183 was primarily attributable to professional fees related to the Share Exchange, increased public company compliance costs, higher stock-based compensation, and expanded corporate infrastructure to support the Renewables business.

Success Fee Paid by Controlling Shareholder. The Company recognized a charge of $12,390,253 for the year ended December 31, 2025. The fee was due upon the successful completion of the Share Exchange and was paid by the controlling shareholder on behalf of the Company. As this was related to the Share Exchange, there was no comparable charge for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Shares issued as commitment fee for ELOC. A non-cash charge of $3,342,000 was recognized for the year December 31, 2025 related to the issuance of 300,000 shares of Common Stock as a commitment fee under the Company’s ELOC arrangement. No comparable charge was recognized for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses totaled $752,287 for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $1,651,170 for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease of $898,883 reflects a reduction in development-stage research activities as the Company progressed toward engineering and commercialization planning.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased to $625,599 for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $401,096 for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase was driven primarily by additional debt outstanding during 2025 and non-cash accretion associated with convertible notes and debt discounts.

Net Loss. The Company reported a net loss of $29,460,935 for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to a net loss of $3,621,948 for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase in net loss of $25,838,987 was primarily attributable to higher general and administrative expenses, impairment charges totaling $1,546,900, transaction-related costs, and increased interest expense.

Financial Condition

Liquidity and Capital Resources. At December 31, 2025, we had a cash balance of $4,618,621 and working capital of $(1,043,785), compared to a cash balance of $525,809 and working capital of $(5,340,035) at December 31, 2024. This increase was primarily due to the issuance of shares of Common Stock under the ELOC Agreement and the registered direct offerings of shares of Common Stock to support working capital.

The Renewables segment of the Company is pre-revenue and will not generate revenue from product sales unless and until we successfully construct and commission the plastics recycling facility. In addition, we will likely incur significant expenses related to engineering and design services, product sales, marketing, and distribution activities.

As a result, we will need substantial additional funding to support our continuing operations and pursue our growth strategy. Until we can generate significant revenue from product sales, if ever, we expect to finance our operations through a combination of public or private equity offerings and debt financings and other sources, such as potential collaboration agreements, strategic alliances and product pre-sales. We may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such other agreements or arrangements when needed on acceptable terms, or at all. Our failure to raise capital or enter into such agreements as and when needed could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. No assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on our operations, in the case of debt financing, or cause substantial dilution for our stockholders, in case of equity financing.

Cash Flows. Operating activities used cash of $7,505,203 during the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $1,924,700 used during the year ended December 31, 2024. The change in cash flows from operating activities was primarily attributable to professional fees related to the Share Exchange which was consummated during the third quarter of 2025.

Investing. Investing activities used cash of $3,642,708 during the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $318,538 used during the year ended December 31,2024. The change in cash used for investing activities was primarily attributable to the purchase of land for future operations and the first installment paid on the Alterra license.

Financing. Financing activities raised cash of $15,177,110 during the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $2,395,100 raised during the year ended December 31, 2024.

The change in cash received from financing activities was primarily attributable to the registered direct offerings and ELOC drawdowns made since the Share Exchange.

Long-Term Liabilities. At December 31, 2025, we had long-term liabilities of $6,439,464, compared to $ nil at December 31, 2024. This reflects the extension of the AGIG Convertible Note to January 1, 2027 thereby extending its maturity beyond one-year and leading to reclassification as long-term as well as the long-term portion of the operating lease on the Houston, Texas office.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company had no off-balance sheet arrangements or guarantees of third-party obligations at December 31, 2025.

Controls and procedures

As filed, 3,919 characters, with its headings, lists and tables. Extracted from the main document; charts and exhibits are in the original on sec.gov.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Company’s Chief Financial Officer who also serves as our principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation as of December 31, 2025 of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2025.

This conclusion reflects the presence of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, including deficiencies in the formal control environment and control activities, such as incomplete risk assessments relating to segregation of duties and the risk of material misstatement. Management also identified a material weakness related to accounting for significant and non-standard transactions, which could result in errors or misstatements that may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

We have initiated remediation efforts designed to enhance our control environment, formalize risk assessment processes, and strengthen review and approval procedures for significant and non-standard transactions. These remediation activities are ongoing. Until such measures are fully implemented and operating effectively for a sufficient period, we cannot conclude that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on the criteria set forth in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

Based on this evaluation, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2025.

This conclusion reflects the presence of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. These material weaknesses include deficiencies in our formal control environment and control activities, such as incomplete risk assessments relating to segregation of duties and the risk of material misstatement. Management also identified a material weakness related to accounting for significant and non-standard transactions, which could result in errors or misstatements that may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

The Company has begun implementing remediation measures designed to address the identified material weaknesses. These measures include enhancements to our control environment, the formalization of risk assessment processes, and strengthened review and approval procedures for significant and non-standard transactions. These remediation efforts are ongoing. Until such measures are fully implemented and have operated effectively for a sufficient period, management cannot conclude that our internal control over financial reporting is effective.

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm on internal control over financial reporting as the Company is not required to provide such a report under SEC rules applicable to smaller reporting companies.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The Share Exchange and subsequent business combination resulted in changes to our internal control over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of 2025 that have materially affected our internal control over financial reporting.
