Item 1. Business

 

Overview

 

NextNRG: Powering What’s Next

 

NextNRG is Powering What’s Next by implementing artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) into renewable energy, next-generation energy infrastructure, battery storage, wireless electric vehicle (EV) charging and on-demand mobile fuel delivery to create an integrated ecosystem.

At the core of NextNRG’s strategy is its utility operating system, which leverages AI and ML to help make existing utilities’ energy management as efficient as possible, and the deployment of NextNRG smart microgrids, which utilize AI-driven energy management alongside solar power and battery storage to enhance energy efficiency, reduce costs and improve grid resiliency. These microgrids are designed to serve commercial properties, schools, hospitals, nursing homes, parking garages, rural and tribal lands, recreational facilities and government properties, expanding energy accessibility.

NextNRG continues to expand its growing fleet of fuel delivery trucks and national footprint. NextNRG is also integrating sustainable energy solutions into its mobile fueling operations. The company hopes to be an integral part of assisting its fleet customers in their transition to EV, supporting more efficient fuel delivery while advancing clean energy adoption. The transition process is expected to include the deployment of NextNRG’s innovative wireless EV charging solutions.

 

What is a microgrid?

 

In simple terms, a microgrid is a small-scale power grid that can operate independently or collaboratively with other power grids. NextNRG’s technology is designed to mitigate risk of utilizing renewable energy, while maximizing energy output efficiencies. NextNRG believes that its smart microgrid technology will serve as an effective platform for integrating distributed energy resources (“DERs”) and achieving optimal performance in reduced costs and emissions while bolstering the resilience of a city, a building, or rural communities’ electrification systems. Additionally, they achieve cost savings through peak shaving and selling excess power to off-takers.

 

 

The microgrid, solar, and EV Charging markets in the U.S. have been growing steadily with the presence of key players engaged in research and development to increase efficiency and decrease the cost of the components. NextNRG believes the confluence of multiple clean energy trends creates a significant market opportunity. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (“EIA”), the U.S. spends $400 billion on electricity each year, of which $200 billion is spent on Commercial & Industrial properties. It is expected that an additional $98 billion of investment will be required to meet the country’s 2030 sustainability goals. Renewable energy microgrids have proven an effective tool to help customers, expand electrical grid capabilities, gain access to electricity where it is not easily accessible, respond to, and prepare for, natural disasters, and bring down electricity costs. Additionally, renewable energy microgrids are a viable solution for countries who would like to scale their renewable energy production and lessen their dependence on foreign oil supply. Finally, we believe it is necessary to rapidly increase the scale and scope of renewable generation assets in the U.S. in order to meet the various targets and commitments set by corporations and governments.

 

Utility Scale Smart Microgrid:

 

Additionally, NextNRG plans to offer its proprietary AI/ML powered smart microgrid technology to utilities and other energy producers/distributors through SaaS agreements. Next believes these customers will benefit from the Smart Microgrid technologies’ ability to:

 

	●	Provide real time data processing to improve overall efficiency and cost structure;
	●	Continuously optimize the system based on operational data;
	●	Learn optimal scheduling and dispatch of energy generation and storage;
	●	Predict changes in renewable energy source output and demand;
	●	Integrate renewable energy while maintaining reliability;
	●	Autonomously identify and addresses technical issues;
	●	Enhance resilience and lower electricity costs;

 

NextNRG Smart Microgrid:

 

NextNRG believes that through strategic deployments it should be able to build and operate solar energy systems coupled with its smart microgrid technology (“NextNRG Smart Microgrids”), on commercial properties, schools, hospitals, nursing homes, parking garages, large rural tracts of land, recreational facilities, tribal land, and federal, state, county, and municipal properties. The NextNRG Smart Microgrids will help customers gain access to electricity where not otherwise available, reduce electricity bills, progress towards decarbonization targets and support resource management needs throughout their asset lifecycles. NextNRG Smart Microgrid’s revenue generation will primarily come from power purchase agreements (PPAs) with the diverse range of aforementioned offtakers.

 

 

Wireless EV Charging:

 

Finally, in appropriate client locations, NextNRG anticipates deploying its wireless EV charging technology, once that product is ready for deployment. NextNRG believes that its wireless charging technology solves problems such as:

 

	●	The lack of charging infrastructure: Even when home-charging is taken into account, to properly match forecasted sales demand, the United States will need to see the number of EV chargers quadruple between 2022 and 2025, and grow more than eight-fold by 2030, according to S&P Global Mobility forecasts
	●	Range Anxiety. A fully charged vehicle can provide between 200-400 miles which causes worry, especially for long drives. With dynamic wireless EV charging, cars can charge on the road and maintain optimal charge levels.
	●	Ease of Use. Plugging-in can be easily forgotten. Our planned system will automatically connect the vehicle and account to the charger, streamlining the charging process and making it incredibly user-friendly.
	●	Safety. Tripping over a cable can not only cause physical injury but also damage the device and disrupt the charging process. To prevent this we plan that our patented technology can deliver a secure connection between the vehicle and charging station, providing peace of mind during the charging process.
	●	Theft/Vandalism of cables. The theft of copper from power lines can cause power outages and electrical fires, and with our innovative design your EV charging experience can be worry-free from theft and vandalism.
	●	Weather. No longer need to get out of your vehicle and face uncomfortable weather conditions to charge your car.

 

NextNRG’s prospective solutions are supported by seven patented technologies developed by Florida International University, exclusive licenses to which NextNRG acquired through the purchase of Stat-EI Inc. These technologies were tested on the largest smart grid dataset in the world. The patents target the support of two different renewable energy industry sectors - smart microgrids/Virtual power plants (“VPP”), and wireless power transfer (“WPT”) technology, created to wirelessly charge EVs. The licenses purchased from SEI are exclusive and worldwide.

 

In an era where the demand for reliable, sustainable energy is rapidly growing, traditional power grids face challenges that necessitate innovative solutions. AI/ML based smart Microgrids, which operate as smaller versions of the main power grid, provide a resilient and flexible approach to energy management and distribution. With the proper technology, microgrids can operate autonomously during grid failures and seamlessly integrate renewable energy sources, making them indispensable in today’s energy landscape. We believe that NextNRG is at the forefront of this revolution, offering cutting-edge AI/ML based smart microgrid technology that enhances grid resiliency, optimizes energy use, and reduces costs. These systems are designed to meet the challenges of fluctuating energy demands and supply, ensuring consistent and efficient power delivery across various sectors.

 

 

The Core Components of NextNRG’s technology:

 

●	Microgrid Controller - The Microgrid Controller is the brain of the smart microgrid, using AI/ML it seamlessly manages and integrates various energy resources. It ensures optimal performance by coordinating energy generation, storage, and distribution in real-time.

●	Decreasing costs of renewable energy plants;
●	Regulations aiming to decrease pollution from fossil fuel;
●	Political will to use clean and sustainable energy sources; and
●	Incentives and subsidies.

 

Next Owned Smart Microgrid:

 

NextNRG believes that through strategic deployments it should be able to build and operate solar energy systems coupled with its AI/ML based smart microgrid technology (“NextNRG Smart Microgrids”), on commercial properties, schools, hospitals, nursing homes, parking garages, large rural tracts of land, recreational facilities, tribal land, and federal, state, county, and municipal properties. The NextNRG Smart Microgrids will help customers gain access to electricity where not otherwise available, reduce electricity bills, progress towards decarbonization targets and support resource management needs throughout their asset lifecycles. NextNRG expects its primary product offering will be entering into leases or easements with building or landowners and power purchase agreements to sell the power generated by the solar energy system to those landowners, or various commercial, utility, municipal and community solar off-takers. Additionally, NextNRG plans to offer its proprietary AI/ML powered smart microgrid technology to utilities and other energy producers/distributors through SaaS agreements.

 

 

The primary challenge that the renewable sources market faces is the uncertainty around energy generation. This problem leads to system supply/demand imbalances that can interrupt power and increase costs. NextNRG’s Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (“AI/ML”) based patented technologies can:

 

	●	Provide real time data processing to improve overall efficiency and cost structure;
	●	Continuously optimize the system based on operational data;
	●	Learn optimal scheduling and dispatch of energy generation and storage;
	●	Predict changes in renewable energy source output and demand;
	●	Integrate renewable energy while maintaining reliability;
	●	Autonomously identify and address technical issues;
	●	Enhance resilience and lower electricity costs;

 

The second challenge is the cost of building renewable energy microgrids. To address this challenge, NextNRG hopes to capitalize on government incentives currently available for the deployment of renewable energy solutions. NextNRG believes its offerings will provide multiple advantages to future customers relative to the status quo, such as:

 

●	Lower electricity bills: By implementing our technology, our customers will be able to lower their cost of electricity. Solely deploying our smart microgrid technologies can generate up to 10% savings for customers.
●	Increased accessibility of clean electricity: Through deployment of microgrid and solar solutions NextNRG believes it should be able to provide clean electricity to customers who otherwise would not have been able to construct on-site solar (e.g. apartment and condominium customers). This increases the total addressable market and enables energy security for all.
●	Supporting clean energy ecosystem: Demand for clean sources of electricity is anticipated to continue to increase. NextNRG plans to support future customers in their continued transition to the clean energy ecosystem through its microgrid, solar and battery storage systems as well as wireless EV charging stations. It expects that its expansion of product offerings will allow it to support even more customers in this transition.

 

NextNRG is the owner of exclusive licenses to four patented technologies which cover the development and commercialization of AI/ML based smart microgrids and virtual power plants (“VPP”). The algorithms used to secure the patents were developed with the support and research of Federal agencies and have been tested and proven on the infrastructure of the largest renewable energy company in the world. Certain of the above technologies are currently deployed by a large utility for approximately six million of its customers. The combined technologies are referred to as the NextNRG Smart Microgrid and potential products based on these technologies are explained in more detail below.

 

 

Smart Microgrid Controller (US Patent No. 10326280)

 

●

The Microgrid Controller is a pivotal component within the smart microgrid ecosystem, serving as the orchestrator of energy resources. It efficiently manages the integration and coordination of various power sources, including solar panels, and battery storage systems. By continuously monitoring energy production and consumption, the controller ensures optimal performance and reliability of the microgrid. It dynamically balances supply and demand, adjusting energy flows in real-time to maintain stability and prevent outages. This intelligent management enables seamless transitions between grid-connected and island modes, ensuring uninterrupted power supply during grid failures.

●

The Smart Microgrid Controller uniquely addresses customer needs to optimize renewable energy use. As smaller versions of main energy grids, microgrids can operate in grid-connected and “island” mode as needed. For example, when severe weather affects the energy grid, a microgrid can operate autonomously using its local energy sources to power buildings or facilities. It connects and disconnects from the grid through a grid-forming inverter, which performs black-starts to independently restart the grid. Using the Smart Microgrid Controller ensures that the customer is always using its best and most reliable source of energy.

 

The RenCast Predictor (US Patent No. 11022720)

 

●	RenCast is a AI/ML based tool designed to enhance the efficiency and reliability of renewable energy generation within the smart microgrid. By leveraging cutting-edge artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms, RenCast accurately forecasts the amount of energy that will be produced from renewable sources such as solar and wind. This predictive capability allows the microgrid to forecast and manage energy supply effectively, ensuring that energy storage and distribution are optimized. By analyzing real-time data from weather stations, historical energy usage, and sensor inputs, RenCast minimizes uncertainties and maximizes the utilization of renewable energy.
●	The RenCast Predictor’s renewable energy generation forecast includes a 5-minute, 15-minute, 1-hour, or 7-day prediction with up to 93% accuracy. The system includes weather sensors and imaging cameras. Weather parameters include wind speed, wind direction, ambient temperature, precipitation, atmosphere turbidity, and translucency. The forecaster receives this data from a geo-satellite feed, estimates the cloud cover, and derives the cloud shading profile. The processor receives and uses aggregation data to forecast renewable energy generation.
●	The RenCast Predictor uses the web service API to implement photovoltaic (“PV”)-generation forecasts into the algorithms (e.g., economic dispatch), enabling customers to accurately plan and manage renewable energy generation.

 

The Battery State of Charge (“SOC”) System (US Patent No. 10969436)

 

Battery storage is vital. It supports integrating and expanding renewable energy sources, such as solar power, while reducing reliance on fossil fuels. Storing excess energy generated during periods of high renewable generation (sunny or windy) helps mitigate the reliability issues associated with renewable power sources. This equipment can dramatically improve electrification in rural areas, on tribal lands, and in low-income communities in-need of clean, reliable power. Battery energy storage systems provide a versatile and scalable solution for energy storage and power management, load management, backup power, and improved power quality.

 

 

●

The Battery SOC provides AI/ML systems to forecast SOC of the systems’ lithium-ion batteries.

●

The system uses a multi-step forecasting process and experimentally obtained decreasing C-rate datasets and with ML to forecast the system batteries’ SOC. The multi-step approach combines at least one univariate technique with ML techniques to forecast first C-rate, voltage, current, and SOC percentage to the ML model and forecast the battery’s SOC using an optimizer and ML model. The parameters from a second C-rate are collected by the battery analyzer and can be stored on the machine-readable medium to train the ML model(s) before forecasting. The forecasted battery SOC can be displayed in operable communication with the processor, the machine-readable medium, and the battery analyzer. This enables the customer to always be informed on the stored energy and health of each battery in the system.

 

The Portable Emergency AC Energy (“PEACE”) Controller (US Patent No. 10958211)

 

●

The Peace Controller is a smaller version of the smart microgrid that uses the same AI/ML technologies to provide a mobile source of renewable power in the case of local energy interruption. The controller’s short-term goal is to provide uninterrupted clean energy to consumers during and after natural disasters to power emergency appliances, and for daily use to reduce the energy costs. Long-term the controllers can be scaled up as medium-to-large scale power hubs to provide grid services and network resilience.

●

During power outages the PEACE supplier serves as a mobile power source for users with PV and/or energy storage systems. PEACE can also provide power when users do not have sufficient solar energy for their needs. The supplier includes an inverter to create seamless three-way connection between a PV cell or system, an energy storage unit, and the power grid. Additionally, PEACE includes a web application that displays the location, battery SOC, power generation, local weather systems, and charts.

 

The RenCast Predictor, the Smart Microgrid Controller, Battery SOC, and PEACE Controller can be combined to turn a renewable energy microgrid into a “smart” system that uses AI/ML to increase the system’s efficiencies by up to 10%. Next’s smart microgrid solution aggregates accurate estimates of future energy generation and SOC and programs the Smart Microgrid Controller to optimize the energy use based on the customer’s needs.

 

HOPES Controller (“VPP”)

 

●	The HOPES controller is still under development.
●	The HOPES controller will allow microgrids in different locations to communicate and control to facilitate VPP applications and provide a VPP concept for grid-connected renewable energy sources.
●	The software component will include predictive and prescriptive computation models to address and mitigate the concerns facing high-penetration scenarios into the grid. The controller allows consumers to integrate novel computational tools for state-of-the-art renewable energy generation forecasting, wide-area aggregation, optimize dynamic renewable hosting capacity, intelligently synchronize devices, and dispatch on-demand. The HOPES Controller will integrate and manage small-to-large-scale renewable energy solutions across smart grids. Additionally it will integrate renewable energies to the grid. The HOPES controller connects individual plants to build a VPP that transfers energy between locations connected through transmission lines based on availability and demand to improve the overall system resiliency.

 

 

The HOPES Controller will be able to:

 

●	Conduct short-term forecasting of the power generated by the renewable energy power plant.
●	Execute a dispatch for bulk energy transfer using a hybrid energy storage module to minimize renewable energy curtailment and increase the renewable energy hosting capacity.
●	Predict renewable energy generation intermittencies with wide-area aggregation using a wavelet theory-based transformation model and cooperative game theoretic modeling.
●	Conduct predictive smart load control to effectively use renewable energy and hybrid energy modules to address critical and deferrable loads and minimize system instabilities.
●	Support functionalities for energy pricing and economics of the grid-connected renewable energy to ensure feasibility of intelligence and visibility of renewable energy.
●	Work with utility-level applications like distributed energy resource management systems and advanced distribution management systems to optimize existing renewable energy power plants.

 

The NextNRG Smart Microgrid is designed to maintain grid stability and enhance operational efficiency through advanced monitoring and control systems. By integrating grid forming inverters and multi-level controllers, the microgrid dynamically adjusts to fluctuations in energy demand and supply. These components work together to ensure a consistent and reliable power supply, reducing the risk of outages and improving overall energy efficiency. The system’s real-time monitoring capabilities provide utility operators with valuable insights into grid performance, enabling informed decision-making and proactive management.

 

The first deployment of the NextNRG Smart Microgrid is expected to be in Bryceville, Florida.

 

Other prospective projects will be built on tribal land in the United States. NextNRG currently is working on a deployment on tribal land in the State of Louisiana. The reason NextNRG is targeting tribal land is because, in 2022, the U.S. Energy Department’s Office of Indian Energy issued a report citing that nearly 17,000 tribal homes were without electricity, with most being in southwestern states and in Alaska. Assistant Secretary for Indian Affairs Mr. Bryan Newland testified before Congress that 1 in 5 homes on the Navajo Nation and more than one-third of homes on the neighboring Hopi reservation are without electricity. Our goal is to work with the Native American Tribes to reduce this number to zero.

 

 

NextNRG is in preliminary discussions with seven Native American Tribes to deploy 5 mWh Smart Microgrids on their properties. In total, NextNRG has nearly approx. $750 Million in planned smart microgrid deployments, all of these projects are in different phases of the project timeline. The projects vary from municipal property to Tribal land, to commercial facilities (healthcare, office space, multifamily, and amusement parks).

 

Other planned deployments are in underserved communities located in the City of Newton, Texas and the City of Havana Florida. NextNRG has filed grant applications with the DOE for those deployments.

 

NextNRG also hopes to utilize its AI/ML Smart Microgrid systems to convert shuttered coal-fired power plants into solar energy producing facilities.

 

NextNRG believes, that utility companies; microgrid companies; and renewable energy generation companies will all be able to capitalize on the advantages of the NextNRG smart microgrid technology and therefore NextNRG plans to offer its technology to these companies under a SaaS model.

 

At each location where the NextNRG Smart Microgrid is deployed, NextNRG plans to evaluate the possibility of deploying NextNRG’s wireless EV charging solutions. These solutions are explained in more detail below.

 

Wireless EV charging uses resonant electromagnetic induction to transmit a current, this process is also known as “inductive charging” or “wireless power transfer” (“WPT”). Wireless charging utilizes a charging pad installed in the ground and a similar pad installed on the bottom of a car, when the pads align, charging automatically begins.

 

Wireless EV charging offers several benefits:

 

●	By definition, the number one benefit of wireless EV charging is that there are no wires. EV owners do not need to carry heavy charging cables or plug their cars in at every charging station, alleviating range anxiety.
●	EV charging cables can become damaged over time, particularly in extreme heat and cold areas, which can be hazardous to the vehicle and its owner. No wires mean less risk, and replacing cables is expensive, too.
●	Wireless charging is simply more convenient, even when only available as static charging – and if and when dynamic charging becomes a reality, it will be extremely convenient as well.
●	Wireless charging is more efficient than a traditional plug in charger.

 

 

Wireless Charging Parking Bumper (US Patent No. 10836269B2)

 

NextNRG’s primary patent covers an electric vehicle charging station, designed as a bumper which ensures proper alignment between the vehicle’s battery charger and the charger pad in the charging station.

 

●	Integrated sensors detect the vehicle’s position as it parks.
●	A built-in radio frequency receiver identifies the vehicle through a unique code.
●	Once the system verifies payment with a server, an internal processor activates wireless, inductive charging.
●	The entire setup offers a seamless integration of sleek design, precise vehicle detection, and secure payment verification for efficient charging.
●	NextNRG’s parking bumper patent is the integration of a networked wireless charging bumper with a contactless payment system, and advanced communication protocols and encryption methods.

 

NextNRG believes its parking bumper patent is the key to commercializing wireless EV charging, the automated verification and payment system is expected to be the most seamless way to start a charge.

 

NextNRG also holds the exclusive license for three patents in the WPT space - two for the static transfer of energy and one for the dynamic transfer of energy. The licensed WPT solutions are based on a unique analog architecture. The static solution also provides a bi-direction (grid to vehicle and vehicle to grid) power transfer which allows a charged EV to serve as a reserve generator for the home in case of power failure.

 

Bidirectional Wireless Power Transfer (US Patent No. 10637294B2)

 

This patent describes a system capable of wirelessly transferring power in both directions. This technology is designed for efficient and safe power exchange, which could be particularly useful in scenarios where power needs to be sent back to the grid during peak demand, and/or power outages.

 

Advancements in Inductive Power Transfer (US Patent No. 9919610B1)

 

This patent focuses on enhancing the capabilities of wireless power transfer systems. The improvements include increasing the efficiency of power transfer, extending the longevity of the system and broadening its applicability across various contexts.

 

Wireless EV Charging Station for Static and Dynamic Charging (US Patent No. 9731614B1)

 

This patent details a wireless charging station specifically designed for EVs. It has the capability to charge EVs both when they are stationary (static) and while they are in motion (dynamic). The dynamic charging allows for continuous charging, potentially revolutionizing the way EVs maintain battery levels.

 

 

To date, NextNRG’s static and dynamic solutions have been designed and prototypes are being tested at 25 kwh of output in a laboratory environment at FIU, with plans to expand the output capacity to 1mwh and above. NextNRG expects for this static WPT solution to automate EV charging such that drivers do not need to do anything to charge. There are no cables inside or outside of the car. NextNRG’s static and dynamic solutions are not expected to be affected by rain, snow, ice, dust, or dirt. They will be a clean and safe way to charge EVs.

 

NextNRG expect that its static WPT systems will be bidirectional, this means that they will support connecting grid-to-vehicle (“G2V”) and vehicle-to-grid (“V2G”). NextNRG is unaware of any other WPT system which has V2G capabilities. For homeowners who want to deploy solar and microgrid solutions at their home, with our WPT system we expect for those homeowners to be able to utilize their car as a battery storage system. Additionally, in emergency outage situations homeowners with our WPT system will be able to maintain power by using our V2G capabilities.

 

Additionally, through an integration with our the Smart Microgrid deployments, NextNRG plans for its WPT systems to be able to integrate with the grid to help create a resilient network to handle disaster conditions. For example, during a hurricane in areas with power outages, EVs with V2G capability would be able to power hospitals, homes, and other critical infrastructure to create a reliable, longer lasting energy source.

 

NextNRG expects for its dynamic WPT solution to be implemented on highways and public roads so it can provide essentially unlimited range for EVs without plugging-in or stopping for recharging. These solutions will revolutionize the future of transportation systems. NextNRG is working with FIU to deploy the dynamic WPT solution as a pilot for use on their campus and demonstrate its capabilities.

 

NextNRG believes that it is positioning itself to be the only wireless EV charging company to able to offer a combination of: (i) wireless charging outputs from 25kwh to over 1mwh; (ii) bi-directional wireless charging; and (iii) both static and dynamic wireless EV charging.

 

The microgrid, solar, and EV Charging markets in the U.S. have been growing steadily with the presence of key players engaged in research and development to increase efficiency and decrease the cost of the components. NextNRG believes the confluence of multiple clean energy trends creates a significant market opportunity. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (“EIA”), the U.S. spends $400 billion on electricity each year, of which $200 billion is spent on Commercial & Industrial properties. It is expected that an additional $98 billion of investment will be required to meet the country’s 2030 sustainability goals. Renewable energy microgrids have proven an effective tool to help customers, expand electrical grid capabilities, gain access to electricity where it is not easily accessible, respond to, and prepare for, natural disasters, and bring down electricity costs. Additionally, renewable energy microgrids are a viable solution for countries who would like to scale their renewable energy production and lessen their dependence on foreign oil supply. Finally, we believe it is necessary to rapidly increase the scale and scope of renewable generation assets in the U.S. in order to meet the various targets and commitments set by corporations and governments.

 

 

Revenue Sources

 

Sale of Electricity

 

Solar Electricity

 

NextNRG plans to derive its operating revenues principally from power purchase agreements, net metering credit agreements, solar renewable energy credits, and performance-based incentives. A portion of NextNRG’s power sales revenues is expected to be earned through the sale of energy (based on kilowatt hours) pursuant to the terms of Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs). NextNRG’s PPAs will typically have fixed or floating rates and are expected to be generally invoiced monthly.

 

Wireless EV Charging

 

NextNRG will sell energy to its wireless EV charging customers.

 

NextNRG plans to sell its innovative solutions to property owners, parking facilities, municipalities, and government agencies, as well as charge point operators (CPOs), empowering the growth of sustainable transportation infrastructure.

 

NextNRG plans to generate revenue from the deployment of solar and battery storage solutions where applicable to further take advantage of the renewable energy industry. Energy pricing is based on peak/off-peak rates at any given charging location. NextNRG plans to negotiate our own Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) accordingly. NextNRG is also planning to sell energy to electric vehicle owners via wireless EV charging.

 

SaaS & Licensing

 

Software as a Service Agreements

 

NextNRG plans to generate revenue from the sale of its energy management software under SaaS Agreements with utility companies; microgrid companies; and renewable energy generation companies. Additionally, any traditional customers which would like to own their own energy generation systems will have the option of entering a SaaS agreement to purchase rights to the technology.

 

Hardware Licensing

 

NextNRG plans to generate licensing revenues from competitors or ancillary business participants who desire to utilize or integrate NextNRG’s intellectual property, hardware, or software solutions within their proprietary product.

 

 

Sale of Hardware

 

NextNRG plans to generate revenues from the sale of hardware, eg. solar panels, battery storage solution equipment, wireless charging pad or bumper and vehicle receiver technology.

 

Potential Customers Include

 

Property owners, electrical supply companies, management companies, all levels of government, original equipment manufacturers, tribal land, car manufacturers, EV charging companies, wholesale electricity providers, utilities, and fleet owners.

 

Agreements and Collaborations

 

License Agreements with Florida International University

 

NextNRG holds exclusive licenses to a portfolio of seven patents owned by FIU. Under the licensing agreements NextNRG is obligated to pay fixed royalty payments for the licenses to FIU on an annual basis. The terms of the licenses continue for the life of the patents or until terminated by either party, pursuant to the terms of the licenses. NextNRG also has certain performance obligations pursuant to the terms of the licenses.

 

Agreement with Midwest

 

NextNRG and Midwest have entered an agreement to work together to establish a greenfield facility for the manufacturing of battery-energy-storage systems (BESS) in the United States of America. While some of the components will be sourced from India in the initial phase, localization of components and sub-systems will be made a priority of the parties. In the interim period, Midwest will supply the products and services for NextNRG’s current planned deployments. The scope of such supply includes BESS, solar panels, as well as design services. The collaboration with Midwest is expected to meet the requirements of the “Made in America” and produce local products which are key to the energy transition goals of the US. Further, this activity is expected to qualify for and attract public financing, earn tax credits, and cut down the overall costs of deployment of the solutions offered by NextNRG.

 

Intellectual Property

 

NextNRG is the owner of US Patent No. 10,836,269 B2 which is a patent for an inductive charging parking bumper with automatic payment processing.

 

NextNRG’s licenses from FIU relate to the following U.S. patents covering wireless electric vehicle charging: US Patents Numbered: 10637294; 9919610; and 9731614.

 

NextNRG’s licenses from FIU relate to the following U.S. patents covering smart microgrid technology: US Patents Numbered: 10326280; 10969436; 10958211; and 11022720.

 

 

NextNRG has also filed trademark applications for “NextCharge,” “Next Charge,” “Next Charging,” “NextCharging,” “NextNRG,” “NextNRG,” and the NextNRG logo.

 

NextNRG owns the domain names: NextCharging.com; NextNRG.com; NXXT.energy; and NextNRG.energy

 

Regulatory

 

Although NextNRG is not regulated as a public utility in the United States under applicable national, state or other local regulatory regimes where it conducts business, it expects to compete primarily with regulated utilities. As a result, it has developed and is committed to maintaining a policy team to focus on the key regulatory and legislative issues impacting the entire industry. It believes these efforts help it better navigate local markets through relationships with key stakeholders and facilitate a deep understanding of the national and regional policy environment.

 

To operate its systems, NextNRG may need to obtain interconnection permission from the applicable local primary electric utility. Depending on the size of the solar energy system and local law requirements, when needed interconnection permission will be provided by the local utility directly to NextNRG and/or future customers. In almost all cases, interconnection permissions are issued on the basis of a standard process that has been pre-approved by the local public utility commission or other regulatory body with jurisdiction over net metering policies. As such, no additional regulatory approvals are required once interconnection permission is given.

 

NextNRG’s future operations will be subject to stringent and complex federal, state and local laws, including regulations governing the occupational health and safety of our employees and wage regulations. For example, it is subject to the requirements of the federal Occupational Safety and Health Act, as amended (“OSH Act”), and comparable state laws that protect and regulate employee health and safety. NextNRG endeavors to maintain compliance with applicable OSH Act and other comparable government regulations.

 

Government Incentives

 

Federal, state and local government bodies provide incentives to owners, distributors, system integrators and manufacturers of solar energy systems to promote solar energy in the form of rebates, tax credits, payments for renewable energy credits (“RECs”) associated with renewable energy generation and exclusion of solar energy systems from property tax assessments. These incentives should enable NextNRG to lower the price it will charge future customers for energy from, and to lease, solar energy systems, helping to catalyze customer acceptance of solar energy as an alternative to utility-provided power. In addition, for some investors, the acceleration of depreciation creates a valuable tax benefit that reduces the overall cost of the solar energy system and increases the return on investment.

 

 

The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IRA”), which was passed in August 2022, substantially changed and expanded existing federal tax benefits for renewable energy. The IRA extended the existing framework for investment tax credits (“ITC”) offered by the federal government under Section 48(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) for the installation of certain solar power facilities owned for business purposes. Prior to the IRA, if construction on the facility began before January 1, 2020, the amount of the ITC available was 30%, if construction began during 2020, 2021, or 2022 the amount of the ITC available was 26%, with additional step downs in later years. Projects placed in service before January 1, 2022 are still set at 26%. However, with the enactment of the IRA, solar power facilities installed between 2022 and 2032 will receive a 30% ITC of the cost of installed equipment for ten years so long as the facilities meet wage and apprenticeship requirements or are less than 1 MWac, which will decrease to 26% for solar power facilities installed in 2033 and to 22% for solar power facilities installed in 2034; and for those solar power facilities installed in 2022, the ITC has increased from 22% to 30% if the ITC has not yet been claimed. The prevailing wage rates also must be paid for alteration and repair during the 5 years after a project is placed in service.

 

Pursuant to the IRA, certain ITC projects are eligible for a 10% domestic content bonus so long as the facilities meet wage and apprenticeship requirements, if all the steel and iron are produced in the United States and at least 40% of the facility is produced in the United States, which domestic content percentage requirement increases for facilities that start construction after 2024 and eventually reach 55% for projects which begin construction in 2027 or later.

 

Pursuant to the IRA, certain ITC projects are eligible for an additional 10% or 20% energy community bonus so long as the facilities meet wage and apprenticeship requirements, and if the facility owner applies for and receives an environmental justice allocation from the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”). Solar (and certain related storage) facilities that are less than 5 MWac that are either located in a low-income community or on Indian land, or are part of a qualified low-income residential building project or a qualified low-income economic benefit project qualify. For example, qualified low-income economic benefit projects can receive a 20% bonus if low-income households receive at least one-half of the financial benefits. The IRS provided taxpayers guidance in Notice 2023-18 for determining the requirements for allocation of the ITC bonus. The IRA also included additional incentives, including in relation to stand-alone storage and claiming interconnection costs under the ITC in certain situations.

 

 

Additionally, the Inflation Reduction Act has secured historic levels of funding specifically for Tribal Nations and Native communities, including $32 billion in the American Rescue Plan, $13 billion in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, and more than $720 million in the IRA.

 

The U.S. Department of Energy’s Clean Energy for Low Income Communities Accelerator partnered with state and local leaders that committed $335 million to help 155,000 low-income households access renewable energy and efficiency to save up to 30% or more on energy bills.

 

In addition to the incentives at the federal government, more than half of the states, and many local jurisdictions, have established property tax incentives for renewable energy systems that include exemptions, exclusions, abatements and credits. Approximately thirty states and the District of Columbia have adopted a renewable portfolio standard (and approximately eight other states have some voluntary goal) that requires regulated utilities to procure a specified percentage of total electricity delivered in the state from eligible renewable energy sources, such as solar energy systems, by a specified date. To prove compliance with such mandates, utilities must surrender solar renewable energy credits (“SRECs”) to the applicable authority. Solar energy system owners such as our investment funds often are able to sell SRECs to utilities directly or in SREC markets. While there are numerous federal, state and local government incentives that benefit our business, some adverse interpretations or determinations of new and existing laws can have a negative impact on NextNRG’s business.

 

Manufacturing and Supply

 

NextNRG plans to purchase equipment, including solar panels, inverters, batteries, wireless charging station components from a variety of manufacturers and suppliers. If one or more of the suppliers and manufacturers that NextNRG relies upon to meet anticipated demand reduces or ceases production, it may be difficult to quickly identify and qualify alternatives on acceptable terms. In addition, equipment prices may increase in the coming years, or not decrease at the rates it has historically experienced, due to tariffs or other factors. Eventually, NextNRG believes that through its agreement with Midwest, it will be manufacturing some, if not all, of its products in-house.

 

 

Mobile Fueling

 

NextNRG’s Mobile Fueling solution offers on-demand and subscription-based fuel delivery services, catering to individual consumers, fleets, marine, and other specialty markets. Leveraging digital technology and GPS-based systems, this service responds to the increasing preference for home and workplace product deliveries. Particularly, our fleet services are experiencing significant growth, providing a streamlined, efficient fueling option that allows commercial operators to optimize operations and reduce downtime. This innovation not only meets the modern demand for convenience but also aligns with the broader shift towards more agile and responsive service models in today’s economy.

 

 

NextNRG’s app-based platform conveniently brings the gas station to customers with a growing fleet of Mobile Fueling Trucks. NextNRG’s business verticals align to the high-use, high demand cases in vehicle operations. These are; individual CONSUMERS, COMMERCIAL entities and SPECIALTY vehicle markets.
		An EzFill Mobile Delivery Truck

 

	For CONSUMERS, NextNRG services individual “consumer” customers directly at their residences or places of work. In the consumer vertical, NextNRG customers sign-up for NextNRG services individually, or as part of an employer which offers discounted NextNRG services to their employees as an employee benefit while at work at offices, in office parks or on-job locations. Fuel deliveries are completed at optimal times during the day for ‘at work’ customers or at night for residential deliveries.
	In the COMMERCIAL vertical, NextNRG provides vital fuel delivery services to commercial fleets of delivery trucks, rental cars, livery operators, and job sites. Deliveries for the commercial vertical are completed during down-times, when the majority of commercial vehicles are at designated locations. This method also allows NextNRG to complete multiple fills at once, while providing the commercial customers the benefit of a fleet of fueled vehicles ready for operations on any given morning.
	In the SPECIALTY vertical, NextNRG adapts to each market based on the type of vehicles that can benefit from “at location” fuel delivery. In NextNRG’s home market, Florida, their “specialty” vertical services hundreds of boat owners at their homes or at marinas at which they are docked. NextNRG’s specialty market also includes equipment rental companies, construction job sites, agricultural operations, motorsports events and recreational vehicle grounds.

 

 

NextNRG Model – Resolving Pain Points in the Consumer and Commercial Fuel Customer Markets

 

NextNRG’s experience in this market indicates that the legacy gas station model is ripe for disruption specifically by a model which works to address major issues with the status of the industry, such as:

 

●

Convenience. People find going to the gas station inconvenient and time consuming. Leaving the house a little late in the morning on an empty tank means arriving late to the office or stopping for gas on your way home after a long day is inconvenient. This number does not include the time it takes to drive to and from the gas station. Our solution saves our customers valuable time and shaves time off of our customers’ commutes to and from work. Our Mobile Fueling Truck brings a convenient fueling solution that is disrupting the current industry by saving our customers valuable time and helping them to avoid the stress of not having a full tank of gas.

 

	●	Fleet Driver Expense. When fleet managers send their vehicles to the gas station to fill up, they are paying for: (i) the driver to take the vehicle to the gas station; (ii) the gas the vehicle consumes on the way to and from the gas station; (iii) wear and tear on the vehicle being driven to the gas station; and (iv) indirectly the downtime for the vehicle being driven to the gas station, which usually will be during the regular working day due to the fact that an employee must take the vehicle there. When fleet managers use NextNRG, we fill up the vehicles after hours so there is no downtime during the regular working day.
	●	Fleet Driver Fraud. Research conducted by Fleet News confirmed the 64% of fleets have been the victims of fuel theft or fuel fraud. According to a survey conducted by Shell, 93% of fleet managers think that some of their drivers are committing fraudulent activity and 41% of fleet managers think that more than 10% of their drivers are committing fraudulent activity. According to Shell’s research, 48% of fleet managers think that improving practices to tackle fraud could reduce a fleets fuel spend by more than 5% and 14% of fleet managers believe it would reduce fuel spend by more than 10%. NextNRG’s solution tackles fraud head on by taking the drivers out of the equation. NextNRG brings the fuel directly to our customers fleets and reduces the risk of driver related fuel fraud.
	●	Operating Costs. The rising cost of real estate in major metros over the past couple of years has caused many gas stations to close their doors, leaving major cities without significant competition, which could lead to higher local fuel prices. According to data provided by Fueleconomy.gov there were 168,000 gas stations in 2004, compared to just 115,000 gas stations reported by marketwatch.com in February 2020 (a 31% drop). NextNRG’s App-based approach lowers our underlying costs and allows us to offer fuel with competitive pricing in each zip code in which we operate.

 

 

	●	Safety Concerns. Gas stations have a reputation of being unsafe locations. This reputation developed due to the many robberies and assaults that occur at gas stations. According to FBI crime data, over the past five years 1.3% of all violent crimes occurred at gas stations. Violent crimes such as robberies and assaults are commonplace at gas stations because often, customer’s need to exit their vehicles in remote and secluded areas, at late hours, with improper lighting and security at the location. NextNRG’s Mobile Fueling Trucks address these safety issues by bringing the fuel to the consumer, who, from the comfort of their home or office can order a fill-up via our App without even going outdoors. The customer simply needs to place the order and leave the gas tank access open on their vehicle.
	●	Fraud Concerns. Gas stations are hubs for fraud issues. These issues primarily emanate from gas stations employing mostly old-fashioned magnetic strip credit card readers. Gas stations experience hundreds of millions of dollars in credit card fraud annually. According to the Florida Department of Agriculture, more than 1500 skimmers were found at Florida gas stations in 2019. A study from FICO, found that fraud from credit card skimmers is increasing at a rate of 10% per year. The US Secret Service reports finding between 20 and 30 credit card skimmers at gas pumps per week. NextNRG’s platform does not store any customer credit card data and uses the latest in credit card processing technology to verify cards and secure customers’ payments to ensure authenticity of purchases.
	●	Addressing Environmental Concerns. We can never eliminate our environmental exposure completely. However, by delivering fuel to areas with high vehicle density, we are lowering the environmental impact by reducing the number of separate trips our customers make to refuel their vehicles. Since NextNRG sources direct from oil companies on a daily basis, we have a very high turnover of inventory and do not store our fuel in underground tanks. All our tanks go through a rigorous annual inspection, plus they are visually inspected before and after every shift to ensure proper fuel storage and no loss of vapors. A rapid turnover of inventory and daily tank inspections are not available for underground tanks used by retail gas stations.

 

 

 

●

Sanitary and Touchless. According to a study conducted by the Kymberly Clark Group, the gas station pump handle is the dirtiest surface Americans touch on their way to work. Also, according to a recent study conducted by busbudy.com, gas station pumps have 11,000 times more bacteria than the common household toilet seat, while pump station buttons contain 15,000 times more. In addition to being germ and bacteria infested, a recent article by njtvonline.org highlighted the near impossibility of social distancing at self-service gas stations, further exacerbating the health risks of going to the gas station.

 

Mobile Fueling Product Offerings

 

We provide fuel delivery via our fleet of trucks in Florida, Texas, California, Arizona, Tennessee and Michigan. Our goal is to service all our customers across all our lines of business at predictable locations during vehicle downtimes. Our fleet currently includes 140 trucks that we utilize to deliver fuel directly to our customers. We have three major lines of business and to our knowledge we are the only company in the space which fuels all three verticals:

 

1. SERVICING CONSUMERS AT HOME AND AT WORK

 

We offer residential fueling services to customers who can request a fuel delivery through our app and have fuel delivered directly to their vehicle, from the comfort of their home or apartment building, while they go about their night. We offer convenient weekly schedules to our residential customers, so they can live with the comfort of knowing that they will never be without a full tank of gas when they need it. Additionally, our competitive pricing keeps our residential customers from having to travel out of their neighborhood for lower gas prices. Our residential customers currently pay a delivery fee of $6.99 for each delivery or they have the option to pay $14.99 per month for unlimited deliveries. We may increase these prices in the future. We currently offer delivery to residential customers in Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties. Our service is a great new amenity for condominiums, which has been widely used by residents of the buildings we service and has been enhancing residents’ experience.

 

 

Through entering agreements with local and national businesses, we work directly with businesses human resource departments to offer employee perks, and fuel employees’ cars while they are working. This is a creative benefit for employers to offer, enabling their employees to have their cars filled, stress free. Additionally, we work directly with the landlords of corporate office parks to bring the amenity of NextNRG to their tenants. Our corporate employee fueling is currently done at competitive prices with no delivery fee. Our corporate office park solution offers benefits to employers and NextNRG. Benefits to employers include: (i) a new perk to offer their employees; and (ii) happier employees who do not have to waste precious time going to the gas station. Benefits to NextNRG include: (i) multiple deliveries at one location creates efficiencies and cuts operating costs; (ii) the employers serve as “influencers” which reduces our marketing costs for each location; and (iii) push-marketing by the employers also results in more residential consumer fills.

 

2. SERVICING COMMERCIAL ENTITIES

 

We partner with and offer national and local businesses who operate fleets an alternative solution for fueling their fleet to reduce the businesses operational costs and improve fleet efficiency. Our solution for fleets helps businesses: (i) save money spent on expensive gas stations; (ii) save money on paying employees to go to gas stations; (iii) eliminate unnecessary wear and tear to Company fleet vehicles on trips to the gas station; (iv) better monitor their fuel consumption; (v) eliminate employee mistakes (putting regular gas into a diesel engine); and (vi) prevent theft by employees (customers have reported instances where it was months before they realized their employee was making unauthorized charges on their fleet card).

 

3. SERVICING SPECIALTY MARKETS

 

NextNRG delivers fuel directly to other, market-specific personal and commercial vehicles and tanks. In our home market, the prevalence of boats and boat owners was the first specialty market we developed, particular to the south Florida area which is the base of our services. Marina fuel stations are some of the highest priced in the country. We offer low prices and pre-scheduling so our marine customers can get affordable fuel whenever they need it. The same is true for the markets which we have targeted to enter. In these markets we find similar, market-specific vehicles which our future customers use for; construction or agricultural purposes, personal or recreational vehicle use, or sporting events where a large concentration of vehicles can be serviced at specific locations.

 

 

Customers

 

In addition to our individual, residential customers, we also have structured relationships with property management companies and builders who co-market our services as a benefit to their residents and allow our trucks to enter their communities to fill vehicle owners at their single family homes, condominiums or apartments.

 

Our commercial vertical has serviced the fleets for many national and local businesses, such as a leading national delivery company, a leading national grocer, a leading OEM, as well as a leading equipment rental company.

 

In our specialty market vertical, we service hundreds of boats at various marinas across Miami-Dade and Broward Counties, as well as boats at customers’ homes. We are a preferred delivery partner for a mobile application with thousands of boat-owner users. We have recently begun developing this line of business and it is growing, mostly through existing customer outreach and strategic partnerships with marinas.

 

Software Systems, IT, User Interface and Experience

 

 

Our software systems provide us with logistical and cost saving efficiencies that allow us to forecast the need for truckloads of fuel to effectively service clusters of customers in a specific area or zip code. At the front end of our system, we employ an app-based approach that provides all our customers with an easy-to-engage user interface and ordering system. Customers are able to select the times and locations of their on-demand or routinely scheduled fills and manage their account on their mobile device or desktop system.

 

 

In the back end of our system, we aggregate customer orders based on their location and expected gallon demand for their vehicles. The aggregation of customer orders based on these variables triggers a truckload fill of one of our mobile tankers designated for each of the customer orders our system generates.

 

Our software and IT systems have been developed and customized in-house to provide cost-saving efficiencies which produce higher margins than traditional, gas station fuel margins.

 

We are planning to expand our software capabilities using AI and machine learning algorithms that will, among other things, automatically generate outbound “fill reminder” communications to customers based on their recorded usage amounts and time intervals.

 

Mobile Fueling Application

 

 

The EzFill Mobile Application has been designed for iPhone and Android devices with our customers and convenience in mind.

 

Sign Up: The EzFill App provides a quick and easy registration process.

 

Profile Management: The EzFill App provides easy profile management where users can seamlessly update personal information, such as: vehicle details and location, this way we are able to provide the best services to our customers.

 

Location Sharing: This feature enables our customers to simply drop a pin at their location on an integrated map which lets our driver know where to deliver the fuel.

 

 

Request Fuel Delivery: The EzFill App lets our customers pick the type and quantity of fuel to be delivered in addition to the time and date of availability.

 

Weekly Delivery Schedule: The EzFill App also enables our customers to preschedule weekly deliveries, on a specific day of the week. This feature enables our customers to request their delivery for a specific time window, this ensures they can schedule their fill up at convenient times when they would be busy attending other tasks and their car is idle.

 

Push Notifications: The EzFill App has a push notification feature. This allows us to keep customers informed of all the activities associated with the service they have requested. We also use it to keep our customers updated with recent offers and discounts, which helps to boost customer satisfaction and promotes our business.

 

Transaction History: The EzFill App offers our customers the ability to always view their transaction history. This gives our customers an option to check the previous fuel delivery requests and bills.

 

Mobile Fueling Market Opportunity

 

Information provided by Statista indicates that there are about 286 million registered cars in the United States as of Q1 2023. According to the US Energy Information Administration, in 2022 the US used approximately 369 million gallons of fuel per day, with Florida utilizing nearly 21 million gallons per day. According to Statista.com, in 2022, US gas stations produced revenues of roughly 738 billion dollars. NextNRG wants to take advantage of the growing number of US drivers and the dwindling number of gas stations by bringing the gas directly to the consumers. We feel that our service is years in the making and solves many problems posed by the legacy gas station. NextNRG presents a new way for Americans to get gas: at home, at the office, wherever, on demand.

 

The on-demand market continues to grow. On-demand companies are operating and growing in the:

 

	●	Trucking & Delivery Services
	●	Food Delivery Services
	●	Beauty Services
	●	Housekeeping Services
	●	Healthcare Services
	●	Laundry Services

 

 

NextNRG believes that the on-demand market will continue to grow and this growth will benefit its fuel delivery model.

 

 

We believe our market opportunity is to expand into major MSAs across the continental U.S. with sufficient concentration of business and residential customers. We want to be in locations where people rely heavily on their personal cars to get places. Based on our research, we have identified several major MSAs across the U.S that would be attractive for expansion.

 

As we expand to a new market, we plan to employ a strategy that has helped us build a strong base of business in our existing market. The strategy we developed begins with sales in our fleet category to build a base of business in the target city, while developing and strengthening our delivery operations. Next, after launch, we secure corporate and landlord agreements to allow us to begin marketing our services to their employees and tenants. These agreements include fueling at large office parks during daytime hours and fueling at residential buildings during nighttime hours.

 

We generate business through establishing corporate and landlord partnerships, we then leverage companies’ internal communication channels to market directly to their employees or residential tenants. By implementing our digital marketing campaigns as well as placement of our content throughout residential and corporate facilities, we are able to develop greater brand awareness. We coordinate with our partners to set up organic marketing efforts with our brand ambassadors to help increase recognition and assist users with downloading the app and setting up their accounts.

 

Mobile Fueling Growth Strategy

 

Our strategy is to leverage our established business partnerships and generate organic methods of acquiring new markets. This has given us significant brand recognition by the consumer and has enabled us to acquire competitor territories. In doing so, we have generated a substantial presence and footprint in the regional area in which we operate. As we continue to develop our business relationships and expand our fleet of trucks, our goal is to open in new markets throughout the US.

 

 

NextNRG’s current focus is on expanding its geographic footprint. We aim to open in new markets in the future both organically and through acquisitions of existing companies in the space. We make our expansion decisions based off of research into optimal target markets where public transportation is less prevalent, leading to more residents owning cars and the areas where a demand for lifestyle improving technology is present. We also consider State/City/County regulations when assessing new areas to expand into. We are targeting high potential locations with the least regulations on mobile fuel delivery.

 

NextNRG currently has strategic partnerships with businesses across industries such as property management, parking solutions services, travel industry, delivery industry, transportation and logistics, marinas, and other diversified business sectors. By establishing these strategic business-to-business relationships, we are able to offer cost effective business solutions, whether through human resource departments as employee perks, optimization of efficiency for fleet companies, or tenant satisfaction by adding amenities.

 

NextNRG believes a strategic partnership with a major oil company will help with our expansion by enabling us to lower cost and attract a larger customer base by selling branded gasoline. However, there cannot be any assurance that NextNRG will be able to obtain such a strategic partnership. The oil companies Exxon and Shell are both in the mobile fuel delivery space though investments in mobile fueling companies.

 

Competition

 

NextNRG is a mobile fuel delivery service and competes with other local fuel delivery companies and gas stations. We differentiate ourselves by allowing our customers to request our service via a mobile app and delivering the fuel directly to the end user. We use our innovative technology and excellent concierge service to offer convenient fueling solutions to all our vertical markets at different times of the day to maximize the efficiency of each mobile fueling truck. To our knowledge, there are no significant mobile fueling competitors in the markets we currently serve.

 

We distinguish ourselves from our competitors by:

 

	●	Prioritizing our customer’s experience and satisfaction;
	●	Streamlining our customers ordering experience;
	●	Rigorously vetting and training our drivers;

Pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement, the Company agreed to acquire from the Shareholders 100% of the shares of Next in exchange for the issuance by the Company to the Shareholders of Common Stock.

 

On July 22, 2024, the Company and the Shareholders’ Representative entered into the first amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement (“First Amendment”) to add a new section 2.10 to the Second Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement providing that, in the event that the Company at any time prior to the closing undertakes any forward split of the Common Stock, or any reverse split of the Common Stock, any references to numbers of shares of Common Stock and the shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Shareholders as set forth in the Second Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement shall be deemed automatically updated and adjusted to the extent still applicable.

 

The Company and the Shareholders’ Representative entered into the second amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement (“Second Amendment”). Under the Second Amendment, the consideration to be paid to the Shareholders was revised from 40,000,000 shares of Common Stock to 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock (“Exchange Shares”) of which, 25,000,000 or 50,000,000 shares of the Exchange Shares would be vested on the closing date, and the remaining 75,000,000 or 50,000,000 shares of the Exchange Shares would be subject to vesting or forfeiture. The Second Amendment also provides that in the event that the acquisition of an acquisition target (as defined under the Second Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement) by Next (the “Target”), directly or indirectly through Next or a subsidiary of Next, had been completed prior to the closing, then 50,000,000 of the Exchange Shares would be the “Vested Shares” and 50,000,000 of the Exchange Shares would be the “Restricted Shares” subject to vesting. In the event that the acquisition of the acquisition Target by Next, directly or indirectly through Next or a subsidiary of Next, had not been completed prior to the closing, then 25,000,000 of the Exchange Shares shall be the “Vested Shares” and 75,000,000 of the Exchange Shares shall be the “Restricted Shares” subject to vesting. The Second Amendment also amends and restates the vesting schedule for the Restricted Shares and includes amendments to omit and amend certain provisions of the Second Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement in light of the amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation.

 

On February 13, 2025, the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Second Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement, as amended by the First Amendment and Second Amendment, was completed, and in connection therewith Next became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

 

Employees

 

As of March 25, 2025, we had a total of approximately 163 employees, all of whom were full-time. None of our employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement, and we consider our relations with our employees to be good. 

 

Properties

 

We lease office space at 2999 NE 191st Street, Aventura, FL 33180 and pay approximately $26,000 per month, including operating expenses and taxes. We currently sublet this property at a rate of $16,000 per month.

 

We lease our current office space at 57 NW 183rd Street and pay $10,300 per month.

 

Additionally, we have office space and parking for our trucks at our fuel supplier located at 2965 E. 11th Ave., Hialeah, FL 3301 and pay $8,250 per month.

 

We also have access to parking for our trucks at various locations of Palmdale Oil Company in Florida. Finally, we lease approximately 3,000 square feet of office space, located at 407 Lincoln Road, Ste 9F, Miami Beach, FL 33139. The Company is not charged any fees for this arrangement.

 

We believe our current office space is sufficient to meet our needs 

 

Legal Proceedings

 

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. As of the date of this Annual Report, management believes that there are no claims against us, which it believes will result in a material adverse effect on our business or financial condition.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

Any investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below as well as other information provided to you in this document, including information in the section of this document entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements.”

 

Our business, financial condition or operating results could be materially adversely affected by any of these risks. In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and our stockholders may lose all or part of their investment in our securities.

 

 

Risks Related to Our Business

 

We will require substantial additional capital to support our operations and growth plans, and such capital may not be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all. This could hamper our growth and adversely affect our business.

 

Revenues generated from our operations are not presently sufficient to sustain our operations and our current liabilities substantially exceeded our current assets as of December 31, 2024. Therefore, we will need to raise additional capital in the future to continue our operations.

 

We anticipate that our principal sources of liquidity will only be sufficient to fund our activities through June 30, 2025. In order to have sufficient cash to fund our operations beyond June 30, 2025, we will need to raise additional equity or debt capital.

 

There can be no assurance that additional funds will be available when needed from any source or, if available, will be available on terms that are acceptable to us. We will be required to pursue sources of additional capital through various means, including debt or equity financings. Future financings through equity investments are likely to be dilutive to existing stockholders. Also, the terms of securities we may issue in future capital transactions may be more favorable for new investors. Newly issued securities may include preferences, superior voting rights, the issuance of warrants or other derivative securities, and the issuances of incentive awards under equity employee incentive plans, which may have additional dilutive effects. Further, we may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital and/or financing, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, printing and distribution expenses and other costs. We may also be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities we may issue, such as convertible notes and warrants, which will adversely impact our financial condition. Our ability to obtain needed financing may be impaired by such factors as the capital markets and our history of losses, which could impact the availability or cost of future financings. If the amount of capital we are able to raise from financing activities, together with our revenues from operations, is not sufficient to satisfy our capital needs, even to the extent that we reduce our operations accordingly, we may be required to curtail or cease operations.

 

Uncertain geopolitical conditions could adversely affect our results of operations.

 

Uncertain geopolitical conditions, including the war in Israel and invasion of Ukraine, sanctions, and other potential impacts on this region’s economic environment and currencies, may cause demand for our products and services to be volatile, cause abrupt changes in our customers’ buying patterns, and interrupt our ability to supply products or limit customers’ access to financial resources and ability to satisfy obligations to us. Specifically, terrorist attacks, the outbreak of war, or the existence of international hostilities could damage the world economy, adversely affect the availability of and demand for crude oil and petroleum products and adversely affect both the price of our fuel and our ability to obtain fuel.

 

 

Operating and litigation risks may not be covered by insurance.

 

Our operations are subject to all of the operating hazards and risks normally incidental to handling, storing, transporting and otherwise providing combustible liquids such as gasoline for use by consumers. These risks could result in substantial losses due to personal injury and/or loss of life, and severe damage to and destruction of property and equipment arising from explosions and other catastrophic events, including acts of terrorism. Additionally, environmental contamination could result in future legal proceedings. There can be no assurance that our insurance coverage will be adequate to protect us from all material expenses related to pending and future claims or that such levels of insurance would be available in the future at economical prices. Moreover, defense and settlement costs may be substantial, even with respect to claims and investigations that have no merit. If we cannot resolve these matters favorably, our business, financial condition, results of operations and future prospects may be materially adversely affected.

 

Future climate change laws and regulations and the market response to these changes may negatively impact our operations.

 

Increased regulation of greenhouse (GHG) emissions, from products such as petroleum and diesel, could impose significant additional costs on us, our suppliers, and our customers. Some states have adopted laws and regulations regulating the emission of GHGs for some industry sectors. Mandatory reporting by our customers and suppliers could have an effect on our operations or financial condition.

 

The adoption of additional federal or state climate change legislation or regulatory programs to reduce emissions of GHGs could also require us or our suppliers to incur increased capital and operating costs, with resulting impact on product price and demand. The impact of new legislation and regulations will depend on a number of factors, including (i) which industry sectors would be impacted, (ii) the timing of required compliance, (iii) the overall GHG emissions cap level, (iv) the allocation of emission allowances to specific sources, and (v) the costs and opportunities associated with compliance. At this time, we cannot predict the effect that climate change regulation may have on our business, financial condition or operations in the future.

 

Our auditors have included an explanatory paragraph in their opinion regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to continue as a going concern, our securities will have little or no value.

 

M&K CPA’s, PLLC, our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, has included an explanatory paragraph in their opinion that accompanies our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024, indicating that our current liquidity position raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to improve our liquidity position, we may not be able to continue as a going concern.

 

We anticipate that we will continue to generate operating losses and use cash in operations through the foreseeable future. As further set forth above, we anticipate that we will need significant additional capital by June 30, 2025, or we may be required to curtail or cease operations. 

 

 

If we are unable to protect our information technology systems against service interruption, misappropriation of data, or breaches of security resulting from cyber security attacks or other events, or we encounter other unforeseen difficulties in the operation of our information technology systems, our operations could be disrupted, our business and reputation may suffer, and our internal controls could be adversely affected.

 

In the ordinary course of business, we rely on information technology systems, including the Internet and third-party hosted services, to support a variety of business processes and activities and to store sensitive data, including (i) intellectual property, (ii) our proprietary business information and that of our suppliers and business partners, (iii) personally identifiable information of our customers and employees, and (iv) data with respect to invoicing and the collection of payments, accounting, procurement, and supply chain activities. In addition, we rely on our information technology systems to process financial information and results of operations for internal reporting purposes and to comply with financial reporting, legal, and tax requirements. Despite our security measures, our information technology systems may be vulnerable to attacks by hackers or breached due to employee error, malfeasance, sabotage, or other disruptions. A loss of our information technology systems, or temporary interruptions in the operation of our information technology systems, misappropriation of data, or breaches of security could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and reputation.

 

Moreover, the efficient execution of our business is dependent upon the proper functioning of our internal systems. Any significant failure or malfunction of this information technology system may result in disruptions of our operations. Our results of operations could be adversely affected if we encounter unforeseen problems with respect to the operation of this system.

 

High fuel prices can lead to customer conservation and attrition, resulting in reduced demand for our product.

 

Prices for fuel are subject to volatile fluctuations in response to changes in supply and other market conditions. During periods of high fuel costs our prices generally increase. High prices can lead to customer conservation and attrition, resulting in reduced demand for our product.

 

Low fuel prices may also result in less demand for our product.

 

Low fuel prices may lead to us being unable to attract customers due to the fact that we charge a delivery price that may make our pricing less competitive.

 

Changes in commodity market prices may have a negative effect on our gross margin.

 

Our current fuel supplier agreements set terms and establishes formulas based on Oil Price Information Service (OPIS) pricing as of the time of wholesale acquisition, and we do not store inventory. OPIS is a leading source for worldwide petroleum pricing. There is a mark-up for retail fuel prices above wholesale cost, per standard practice in the retail fuel distribution model. Cost of goods sold includes direct labor, including drivers. Our gross margin as a percentage of revenue decreases as a result of increase in fuel costs.

 

 

The decline of the retail fuel market may impact our potential to get new customers.

 

The retail gasoline industry has been declining over the past several years, with no or modest growth or decline in total demand foreseen in the next several years. Accordingly, we expect that year-to-year industry volumes will be principally affected by weather patterns. Therefore, our ability to grow within the industry is dependent on our ability to acquire other retail distributors and to achieve internal growth, which includes the success of our sales and marketing programs designed to attract and retain customers. Any failure to retain and grow our customer base would have an adverse effect on our results.

 

Competition in the fuel delivery industry may negatively impact our operations.

 

We compete with other mobile fuel delivery companies nationwide. There is little to no barrier to entry and therefore, our competition in the industry may grow. Our ability to compete in our current markets and expand to new markets may be negatively impacted by our competitors’ successes. Additionally, fuel competes with other sources of energy, some of which are less costly on an equivalent energy basis. In addition, we cannot predict the effect that the development of alternative energy sources might have on our operations. We compete for customers against suppliers of electricity. Electricity is becoming a competitor of fuel. The convenience and efficiency of electricity make it an attractive energy source for vehicle drivers. The expansion of the electric vehicle industry may have a negative impact on our customer base.

 

Our trucks transport hazardous flammable fuel, which may cause environmental damage and liability to us.

 

Due to the hazardous nature and flammability of our product, we face the risk of a simple accident causing serious damage to life and property. Additionally, a spill of our product may result in environmental damage, the liability for which our Company may not be able to overcome. If we are involved in a spill, leak, fire, explosion or other accident involving hazardous substances or if there are releases of fuel or fuel products we own or are transporting, our operations could be disrupted and we could be subject to material liabilities, such as the cost of investigating and remediating contaminated properties or claims by customers, employees or others who may have been injured, or whose property may have been damaged. These liabilities, to the extent not covered by insurance, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Some environmental laws impose strict liability, which means we could have liability without regard to whether we were negligent or at fault.

 

In addition, compliance with existing and future environmental laws regulating fuel storage terminals, fuel delivery vessels and/or storage tanks that we own or operate may require significant capital expenditures and increased operating and maintenance costs. The remediation and other costs required to clean up or treat contaminated sites could be substantial and may not be covered by insurance.

 

 

Our cash flow and net income may decrease if we are forced to comply with new governmental regulation surrounding the transportation of fuel.

 

We are subject to various federal, state, and local safety, health, transportation, and environmental laws and regulations governing the storage, distribution, and transportation of fuel. It is possible we will incur increased costs as a result of complying with new safety, health, transportation and environmental regulations and such costs will reduce our net income. It is also possible that material environmental liabilities will be incurred, including those relating to claims for damages to property and persons.

 

Our current dependence on a single fuel supplier increases our risk of an interruption in fuel supply, impacting our operations.

 

Although we are in the process of establishing other sources, we currently purchase almost all of our fuel needs from two principal suppliers in Florida. We do not have a written agreement with the largest supplier, and as such, if fuel from this source was interrupted, the cost of procuring replacement fuel and transporting that fuel from alternative locations might be materially higher and, at least on a short-term basis, our earnings could be negatively affected. This supplier is also a shareholder in the Company.

 

Our profitability is subject to fuel pricing and inventory risk.

 

The retail fuel business is a “margin-based” business in which gross profits are dependent upon the excess of the sales price over the fuel supply costs. Fuel is a commodity, and, as such, its unit price is subject to volatile fluctuations in response to changes in supply or other market conditions. We have no control over supplies, commodity prices or market conditions. Consequently, the unit price of the fuel that we and other marketers purchase can change rapidly over a short period of time, including daily.

 

 

Loss of a major customer could result in a decrease in our future sales and earnings.

 

In any given quarter or year, sales of our products may be concentrated in a few major customers. We anticipate that a limited number of customers in any given period may account for a substantial portion of our total net revenue for the foreseeable future. The business risks associated with this concentration, including increased credit risks for these and other customers and the possibility of related bad debt write-offs, could negatively affect our margins and profits. Additionally, the Company does not have any long-term agreements with its customers. All customer agreements are cancelable at any time by either party and as such there cannot be any assurance that any customer will continue to use the Company’s services. The loss of a major customer, whether through competition or consolidation, or a termination in sales to any major customer, could result in a decrease of our future sales and earnings.

 

We operate in a new industry segment and may be subject to new and existing laws, regulations and oversight

 

The Company operates in a new industry segment, on-demand mobile fuel delivery, in which new state and local law adoptions are occurring. Effective December 31, 2020, Florida adopted Florida Fire Prevention Code (“Code”) Section 42.12 recognizing and setting various requirements for the consumer on-demand mobile fuel delivery business. Permitting authority is contemplated under an “Authority Having Jurisdiction” (“AHJ”). Other pre-existing Code provisions similarly contemplate AHJ permitting for commercial mobile fueling. Miami-Dade County, where most of our business is conducted, adopted the Code by reference. Unlike some other states and counties, neither Florida nor Miami-Dade County have designated an AHJ for mobile fueling. Miami-Dade’s extensive permitting and fee schedule does not contemplate or assert permitting authority over mobile fueling, consumer or commercial. We may be subject to oversight, including audits, in existing or future areas of operation. If we cannot comply with the Code, or County, State or Federal rules and regulations or the laws, rules and regulations or oversight in areas in which we currently operate or may seek to operate, we could lose the ability to service those areas and our earnings could be affected.

 

 

NextNRG has a very limited operating history, which makes it difficult to evaluate its business and prospects.

 

NextNRG has a very limited operating history, which makes it difficult to evaluate its business and prospects or forecast its future results. NextNRG is subject to the same risks and uncertainties frequently encountered by new companies in rapidly evolving markets. NextNRG’s financial results in any given quarter can be influenced by numerous factors, many of which it is unable to predict or are outside of its control, including:

 

	●	perceptions about EV quality, safety (in particular with respect to lithium-ion battery packs), design, performance and cost, especially if adverse events or accidents occur that are linked to the quality or safety of Evs;
	●	the limited range over which Evs may be driven on a single battery charge and concerns about running out of power while in use;
	●	concerns regarding the stability of the electrical grid;
	●	improvements in the fuel economy of the internal combustion engine;
	●	consumers’ desire and ability to purchase a luxury automobile or one that is perceived as exclusive;
	●	the environmental consciousness of consumers;
	●	volatility in the cost of oil and gasoline;
	●	consumers’ perceptions of the dependency of the United States on oil from unstable or hostile countries and the impact of international conflicts;
	●	government regulations and economic incentives promoting fuel efficiency and alternate forms of energy;
	●	access to charging stations, standardization of EV charging systems and consumers’ perceptions about convenience and cost to charge an EV; and
	●	the availability of tax and other governmental incentives to purchase and operate Evs or future regulation requiring increased use of nonpolluting vehicles.

 

To date, NextNRG has not generated significant revenues or achieved profitability, and may never generate significant revenues or become profitable.

 

NextNRG has incurred net losses since inception and may not be able to achieve or maintain profitability in the future. NextNRG’s expenses will likely increase in the future as it develops and launches its products, expands into new markets, increases its sales and marketing efforts and continues to invest in technology. These efforts to grow its business may be more costly than NextNRG expects and may not result in increased revenue or growth in its business. NextNRG will likely be required to make significant capital investments and incur recurring or new costs, and its investments (if any) may not generate sufficient returns and its results of operations, financial condition and liquidity may be adversely affected. Any failure to increase revenues sufficiently to keep pace with such investments and other expenses could prevent NextNRG from achieving or maintaining profitability or positive cash flow on a consistent basis or at all. If NextNRG is unable to successfully address these risks and challenges as it encounters them, its business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be adversely affected. If it is unable to generate adequate revenue growth and manage expenses, NextNRG may continue to incur net losses in the future, which may be substantial, and it may never be able to achieve or maintain profitability. NextNRG also expects its costs and expenses to increase in future periods, which could negatively affect future results of operations if revenues do not increase. In particular, NextNRG intends to continue to expend significant funds to further develop its technology. Furthermore, if NextNRG’s future growth and operating performance fail to meet investor or analyst expectations, or if it has future negative cash flow or losses resulting from investment in technology or expanding operations, this could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

 

The market for NextNRG’s platform and services may not be as large as NextNRG believes it to be.

 

We believe the market for our values-aligned platform is substantial, but it is still relatively new, and it is uncertain to what extent or how widespread market acceptance of our platform will be or how long such acceptance, if achieved, may be sustained. Our success will depend on the willingness of people to widely adopt the NextNRG experience, values and the products and services that we offer through our platform. If the public does not perceive our products and services sold through our platform to be beneficial, or chooses not to adopt them as a result of concerns regarding privacy, accessibility, or for other reasons, including an unwillingness to confirm that they respect our five core values or as a result of negative incidents or experiences they encounter through our platform, or instead opt to use alternatives to our platform, then the market for our platform may not continue to grow, may grow slower than we expect, or may not achieve the growth potential we expect, any of which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

 

NextNRG has limited experience with respect to determining the optimal prices and pricing structures for its products and services, which may impact its financial results.

 

NextNRG expects that it may need to change its pricing model from time to time, including as a result of competition, global economic conditions, changes in product mix or pricing studies. Similarly, as NextNRG introduces new products and services, it may have difficulty determining the appropriate price structure for future products and services, including because we may pursue business lines or enter markets in which NextNRG’s current management team has limited prior experience. In addition, as new and existing competitors introduce new products or services that compete with NextNRG’s, or revise their pricing structures, it may be unable to attract new customers at the same price or based on the same pricing model as it has used historically. As a result, NextNRG may be required from time to time to revise its pricing structure or reduce prices, which could adversely affect its business, operating results, and financial condition.

 

 

NextNRG is in a highly competitive EV charging services industry and there can be no assurance that it will be able to compete with many of its competitors which are larger and have greater financial resources.

 

NextNRG faces strong competition from competitors in the EV charging services industry, including competitors who could duplicate its model. Many of these competitors may have substantially greater financial, marketing and development resources and other capabilities than NextNRG. In addition, there are very few barriers to entry into the market for its services. There can be no assurance, therefore, that any of NextNRG’s current and future competitors, many of whom may have far greater resources, will not independently develop services that are substantially equivalent or superior to its services. Additionally, there is no guarantee that NextNRG’s wireless EV charging solutions will be accepted by the market.

 

NextNRG’s competitors may be able to provide customers with different or greater capabilities or benefits than it can provide in areas such as technical qualifications, past contract performance, geographic presence and driver price. Further, many of its competitors may be able to utilize substantially greater resources and economies of scale to develop competing products and technologies, divert sales away from NextNRG by winning broader contracts or hire away our employees by offering more lucrative compensation packages. In the event that the market for EV charging stations expands, NextNRG expects that competition will intensify as additional competitors enter the market and current competitors expand their product lines. In order to secure contracts successfully when competing with larger, well-financed companies, NextNRG may be forced to agree to contractual terms that provide for lower aggregate payments to it over the life of the contract, which could adversely affect its margins. NextNRG’s failure to compete effectively with respect to any of these or other factors could have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition or operating results.

 

NextNRG’s revenue growth ultimately depends on consumers’ willingness to adopt electric vehicles with wireless charging capabilities in a market which is still in its early stages.

 

NextNRG’s growth is highly dependent upon the adoption by consumers of EVs, and it is subject to a risk of any reduced demand for EVs. If the market for EVs does not gain broader market acceptance or develops slower than expected, NextNRG’s business, prospects, financial condition and operating results will be harmed. The market for alternative fuel vehicles is relatively new, rapidly evolving, characterized by rapidly changing technologies, price competition, additional competitors, evolving government regulation and industry standards, frequent new vehicle announcements, long development cycles for EV original equipment manufacturers, and changing consumer demands and behaviors. Factors that may influence the purchase and use of alternative fuel vehicles, specifically Evs, include:

 

	●	perceptions about EV quality, safety (in particular with respect to lithium-ion battery packs), design, performance and cost, especially if adverse events or accidents occur that are linked to the quality or safety of EVs;
	●	the limited range over which EVs may be driven on a single battery charge and concerns about running out of power while in use;
	●	concerns regarding the stability of the electrical grid;

 

 

	●	improvements in the fuel economy of the internal combustion engine;
	●	consumers’ desire and ability to purchase a luxury automobile or one that is perceived as exclusive;
	●	the environmental consciousness of consumers;
	●	volatility in the cost of oil and gasoline;
	●	consumers’ perceptions of the dependency of the United States on oil from unstable or hostile countries and the impact of international conflicts;
	●	government regulations and economic incentives promoting fuel efficiency and alternate forms of energy;
	●	access to charging stations, standardization of EV charging systems and consumers’ perceptions about convenience and cost to charge an EV; and
	●	the availability of tax and other governmental incentives to purchase and operate EVs or future regulation requiring increased use of nonpolluting vehicles.

 

The influence of any of the factors described above may negatively impact the widespread consumer adoption of EVs, which would materially and adversely affect NextNRG’s business, operating results, financial condition and prospects.

 

Risks Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock and this Offering

 

Our stock price is expected to fluctuate significantly.

 

Our common stock is approved for listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “NXXT” and began trading on September 15, 2021. There can be no assurance that an active trading market for our shares will be sustained. The market price of shares of our common stock could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to many risk factors listed in this section, and others beyond our control, including:

 

●	actual or anticipated fluctuations in our financial condition and operating results;
●	geopolitical developments affecting supply and demand for oil and gas and an increase or decrease in the price of fuel;
●	actual or anticipated changes in our growth rate relative to our competitors;
●	competition from existing companies in the space or new competitors that may emerge;
●	issuance of new or updated research or reports by securities analysts;

 

 

●	fluctuations in the valuation of companies perceived by investors to be comparable to us;
●	share price and volume fluctuations attributable to inconsistent trading volume levels of our shares;
●	additions or departures of key management or technology personnel;
●	disputes or other developments related to proprietary rights, including intellectual property, litigation matters, and our ability to obtain patent protection for our technologies;
●	announcement or expectation of additional debt or equity financing efforts;
●	sales of our common stock by us, our insiders or our other stockholders; and
●	general economic and market conditions.

 

These and other market and industry factors may cause the market price and demand for our common stock to fluctuate substantially, regardless of our actual operating performance, which may limit or prevent investors from readily selling their shares of common stock and may otherwise negatively affect the liquidity of our common stock. In addition, the stock market in general has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated to or disproportionate to the operating performance of the Company.

 

A significant percentage of the Company’s common stock is held by a small number of shareholders.

 

One Chief Executive Officer and Executive Chairman controls approximately 68.14% of our outstanding common stock as of March 25, 2025, and our officers and directors collectively own approximately 80.62% of our outstanding common stock. As a result, these shareholders are able to influence the outcome of shareholder votes on various matters, including the election of directors and extraordinary corporate transactions, including business combinations. In addition, the conversion of existing convertible notes, occurrence of sales of a large number of shares of our common stock, or the perception that these conversions or sales could occur, may affect our stock price and could impair our ability to obtain capital through an offering of equity securities. Furthermore, the current ratios of ownership of our common stock reduce the public float and liquidity of our common stock, which can in turn affect the market price of our common stock.

 

 

Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation includes an exclusive forum provision that identifies the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware as the exclusive forum for certain litigation, including any derivative actions, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us, our directors, officers or employees.

 

Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company; (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee of the Company to the Company or the Company’s stockholders; (iii) any action asserting a claim against the Company arising pursuant to any provision of the General Corporation Law of Delaware, the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the Company; or (iv) any action asserting a claim against the Company governed by the internal affairs doctrine. To the extent that any such claims may be based upon federal law claims, Section 27 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. Furthermore, Section 22 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, provides for concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder, and as such, the exclusive jurisdiction clauses of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation would not apply to such suits. The choice of forum provisions in our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers or other employees, which may discourage such lawsuits against us and our directors, officers and other employees. By agreeing to these provisions, however, stockholders will not be deemed to have waived our compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. Furthermore, the enforceability of similar choice of forum provisions in other companies’ certificates of incorporation and bylaws has been challenged in legal proceedings, and it is possible that a court could find these types of provisions to be inapplicable or unenforceable. If a court were to find the choice of forum provisions in our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation” to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect our business and financial condition.

 

We have never paid dividends on our capital stock, and we do not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future. Consequently, any gains from an investment in our common stock will likely depend on whether the price of our common stock increases.

 

We have not paid dividends on any of our classes of capital stock to date and we currently intend to retain our future earnings, if any, to fund the development and growth of our business. In addition, the terms of any future indebtedness we may incur could preclude us from paying dividends. As a result, capital appreciation, if any, of our common stock will be your sole source of gain from an investment in our common stock for the foreseeable future. Consequently, in the foreseeable future, you will likely only experience a gain from your investment in our common stock if the price of our common stock increases.

 

 

If we fail to comply with the continued listing requirements of NASDAQ, we would face possible delisting, which would result in a limited public market for our shares and make obtaining future debt or equity financing more difficult for us.

 

On August 22, 2023, the Company received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Staff (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the Company’s stockholders’ equity as reported in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2023 (the “Form 10-Q”), did not satisfy the continued listing requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), which requires that a listed company’s stockholders’ equity be at least $2,500,000 (the “Equity Rule”). As reported in its Form 10-Q, the Company’s stockholders’ equity as of June 30, 2023 was approximately $1,799,365. As of June 30, 2024, the Company’s stockholders’ deficit was ($4,833,450). The Staff’s notice had no immediate impact on the listing of the Company’s common stock on Nasdaq.

 

Upon submission of the Company’s plan to regain compliance, the Staff granted the Company an extension until February 20, 2024 to comply with this requirement.

 

On February 21, 2024, the Company received a delist determination letter (the “Delist Letter”) from the Staff advising the Company that the Staff had determined that the Company did not meet the terms of the extension. Specifically, the Company did not complete its proposed transaction to regain compliance with the Equity Rule and evidence compliance on or before February 20, 2024.

 

The Company requested an appeal of the Staff’s determination and such hearing occurred on May 2, 2024. At the hearing, the Company presented its plan for regaining compliance with the Equity Rule and requested a further extension to complete the execution of its plan. On May 13, 2024, we received an extension until July 12, 2024, to regain compliance with the Equity Rule.

 

On August 30, 2024, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq confirming that the Company has (i) regained compliance with the Equity Rule, as required by the Panel’s decision dated May 13, 2024, as amended, and (ii) in application of Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(B), the Company will be subject to a mandatory panel monitor for a period of one year from the date of such letter. If, within that one-year monitoring period, the Staff finds that the Company is no longer in compliance with the Equity Rule, then, notwithstanding Listing Rule 5810(c)(2), the Company will not be permitted to provide Staff with a plan of compliance with respect to such deficiency and Staff will not be permitted to grant additional time for the Company to regain compliance with respect to such deficiency, nor will the Company be afforded an applicable cure or compliance period pursuant to Listing Rule 5810(c)(3). Instead, the Staff will issue a Delist Determination Letter, and the Company will have an opportunity to request a new hearing with the initial Panel or a newly convened Hearings Panel if the initial Panel is unavailable. The Company will have the opportunity to respond/ present to the Hearings Panel as provided by Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(C) and the Company’s securities may at that time be delisted from Nasdaq.

 

 

On January 10, 2025, the Company received a letter from the Staff indicating that the Company no longer complies with Nasdaq rules for continued listing because the Company has not yet held an annual meeting of stockholders within one year after the end of the Company’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, as required pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5620(a) (the “Annual Meeting Requirement”). The Company has 45 calendar days to submit a plan to regain compliance and, if the Staff accepts the Company’s plan, the Staff can grant an exception of up to 180 calendar days from December 31, 2024, or until June 30, 2025, to regain compliance. The Company plans to timely submit such a plan for the Staff’s consideration. There can be no assurance that the Staff will accept the Company’s plan to regain compliance with the Annual Meeting Requirement, or that the Company will evidence compliance with the Annual Meeting Requirement during any extension period that the Staff may grant. If the Staff does not accept the Company’s plan, the Company will have the opportunity to appeal that decision to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel. Prior to receiving the deficiency letter from the Nasdaq regarding the Annual Meeting Requirement, on December 31, 2024, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A relating to its planned annual meeting of stockholders for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. The stockholders meeting for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 was held on January 16, 2025. On January 22, 2025, the Company received a letter from the Staff of Nasdaq confirming that the Company has regained compliance with the Annual Meeting Requirement.

 

If we are unable to achieve and maintain compliance with such listing standards or other Nasdaq listing requirements in the future, we could be subject to suspension and delisting proceedings. A delisting of our common stock and our inability to list on another national securities market could negatively impact us by: (i) reducing the liquidity and market price of our common stock; (ii) reducing the number of investors willing to hold or acquire our common stock, which could negatively impact our ability to raise equity financing; (iii) limiting our ability to use certain registration statements to offer and sell freely tradable securities, thereby limiting our ability to access the public capital markets; and (iv) impairing our ability to provide equity incentives to our employees.

 

We have elected to take advantage of specified reduced disclosure requirements applicable to an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act, the information that we provide to stockholders may be different than they might receive from other public companies.

 

As a company with less than $1 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include:

 

	●	only two years of audited financial statements in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements with correspondingly reduced “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure;
	●	reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements;

 

 

	●	no non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements;
	●	exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting and delaying the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies.

 

We have elected to take advantage of the above-referenced exemptions and we may take advantage of these exemptions for up to five years or such earlier time that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company if we have more than $1 billion in annual revenues, we have more than $700 million in market value of our stock held by non-affiliates, or we issue more than $1 billion of non-convertible debt over a three-year period. We may choose to take advantage of some but not all of these reduced burdens.

 

Additional stock offerings in the future may dilute your percentage ownership of our company.

 

Given our plans and expectations that we may need additional capital and personnel, we may need to issue additional shares of common stock or securities convertible or exercisable for shares of common stock, including convertible preferred stock, notes, stock options or warrants. The issuance of additional securities in the future will dilute the percentage ownership of then current stockholders.

 

The Company is a “controlled company” within the meaning of the applicable rules of Nasdaq and, as a result, we qualify for exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements. If the Company relies on these exemptions, its stockholders will not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to such requirements.

 

The Company is currently a “controlled company” within the meaning of the applicable rules of Nasdaq. Michael D. Farkas, the Chief Executive Officer and Executive Chairman of NextNRG, is the holder (through NextNRG) and the beneficial owner of approximately 68.14% of the Company’s common stock and therefore controls a majority of the voting power of the Company’s outstanding common stock and accordingly, he has the ability to determine all matters requiring approval by stockholders. As a result, we qualify for exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements. If the Company relies on these exemptions, which it does not intend to do, its stockholders will not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to such requirements. Under these rules, a company of which more than 50% of the voting power for the election of directors is held by an individual, group or another company is a “controlled company” and may elect not to comply with certain corporate governance requirements, including the requirements:

 

●

that a majority of the board consists of independent directors;

 

 

	●	for an annual performance evaluation of the nominating and corporate governance and compensation committees;
	●	that the controlled company has a nominating and corporate governance committee that is composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities; and
	●	that the controlled company has a compensation committee that is composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibility.

 

While the Company does not intend to rely on these exemptions, the Company may use these exemptions now or in the future. As a result, the Company’s stockholders may not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all of the Nasdaq corporate governance requirements.

 

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments

 

None.

 

Item 1C. Cybersecurity

 

We have a range of security measures that are designed to protect against the unauthorized access to and misappropriation of our information, corruption of data, intentional or unintentional disclosure of confidential information, or disruption of operations.

We have cloud security tools and governance processes designed to assess, identify and manage material risks from cybersecurity threats. In addition, we maintain an information security training program designed to address phishing and email security, password security, data handling security, cloud security, operational technology security processes, and cyber-incident response and reporting processes.

Our approach to cybersecurity is proactive and multifaceted, combining the scalability and reliability of the Microsoft cloud services with the agility and expertise of our third-party cybersecurity partner. Together, these resources form a comprehensive defense mechanism against a wide range of cyber threats, from phishing and malware attacks to sophisticated nation-state sponsored cyber-attacks. We continuously evaluate and adapt our cybersecurity strategy to respond to evolving threats and to align with best practices and regulatory requirements. Our commitment to cybersecurity is integral to our business operations, and we believe our strategic investments in this area significantly mitigate the risk of cybersecurity incidents that could impact our company’s reputation, financial position, or operational capabilities.

 

Governance

 

The management of the Company is responsible for overseeing risk for the Company and has delegated to the VP, Engineering & Technology (“VPE&T”) the responsibility for overseeing the cybersecurity risk management strategy for the Company. Management receives regular updates on our cybersecurity risk management process from the VPE&T. The VPE&T reviews our comprehensive cybersecurity framework, including reviewing our cybersecurity reporting protocol that provides for the notification, escalation and communication of significant cybersecurity events to the management team.

 

 

The Company’s cybersecurity program is overseen by our VPE&T, who is responsible for global information technology, including cybersecurity. Our VPE&T, is primarily responsible for assessing and managing material risks from cybersecurity threats, including monitoring the measures used for prevention, detection, mitigation and remediation of cybersecurity incidents. The information security organization is comprised of internal IBIO employees and external security suppliers who provide security monitoring and response.

PART II

 

Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

 

Our common stock is traded on The NASDAQ Capital Markets under the symbol “NXXT.” Our common stock commenced trading on September 15, 2021.

 

There were 111,998,644 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of March 25, 2025. As of March 25, 2025, there were approximately 107 shareholders of record. 

 

Dividend Policy

 

We have not paid any and have no present intention of paying any dividends on our capital stock. Our current policy is to retain earnings, if any, for use in our operations and in the development of our business. As a result, we anticipate that only appreciation of the price of our common stock, if any, will provide a return to investors for at least the foreseeable future.

 

Use of Proceeds from the Sale of Registered Securities

 

On September 14, 2021, our Registration Statement, as amended, and originally filed on Form S-1 (file No. 333-256691) was declared effective by the SEC for our initial public offering of 7,187,500 shares of common stock, including 937,500 shares of common stock purchased by the underwriters pursuant to the exercise of the over-allotment option each at an offering price of $4.00 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $28.75 million. After deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and offering costs incurred by us of approximately $3.50 million, the net proceeds from the offering were approximately $25.25 million. ThinkEquity LLC acted as sole book-running manager of the initial public offering. No offering costs were paid or are payable, directly, or indirectly, to our directors or officers, to persons owning 10% or more of any class of our equity securities, or to any of our affiliates.

 

There has been no material change in the expected use of the net proceeds from our IPO as described in our final prospectus filed with the SEC on September 14, 2021. Upon receipt, the net proceeds from our IPO were held in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. As of December 31, 2023, we have used approximately $25.25 million of the net proceeds from the IPO. Pending such uses, we plan to continue investing the unused proceeds from the IPO in fixed, non-speculative income instruments and money market funds.

 

On February 13, 2025, the Company announced the pricing of a public offering of 5,000,000 shares of common stock at a price to the public of $3.00 per share, for gross proceeds of $15,000,000, before deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses. In addition, the Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 750,000 shares of common stock to cover over-allotments, if any. A registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-275761) relating to such shares was filed and a post-effective amendment thereto became effective on February 13, 2025. ThinkEquity, LLC acted as sole book-runner for the offering. The closing of this offering occurred on February 18, 2025. The net proceeds to the Company from this offering, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company, is expected to be approximately $13.3 million. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from this offering to expand its business, repay outstanding indebtedness, and general corporate purposes, including working capital.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations 

 

The following discussion and analysis summarizes the significant factors affecting the consolidated operating results, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows of our Company as of and for the periods presented below. The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and the audited financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024 and the related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation. Unless the context requires otherwise, references in this Annual Report on Form 10-K to “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to NextNRG, Inc.

 

Overview

 

We were incorporated under the laws of Delaware in March 2019. We are in the business of operating mobile fueling trucks and are headquartered in Miami, Florida. NextNRG provides its customers with the ability to have fuel delivered to their vehicles (cars, boats, trucks) without leaving their home or office and to construction sites, generators and reserve tanks.

 

Our mobile fueling solution gives our fleet, consumer and other customers the ability to fuel their vehicles with the touch of an app or regularly scheduled service, and without the inconvenience of going to the gas station.

 

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which were prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions for the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, and those differences may be material.

 

While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this annual report, we believe the following discussion addresses our most critical accounting policies, which are those that are most important to our financial condition and results of operations and which require our most difficult, subjective and complex judgments.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The Company consolidates entities where it has a controlling financial interest, as defined by ASC 810, “Consolidation”.

 

In accordance with ASC 810-10, consolidation applies to:

 

	●	Entities with more than 50% voting interest, unless control is not with the Company; and
	●	Variable Interest Entities (VIEs), where the Company is the primary beneficiary, possessing both (i) power over significant activities and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits.

 

All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation per ASC 810-10-45. The Company continuously evaluates its investments and relationships to assess consolidation requirements.

 

Business Combinations, Asset Acquisitions, and Reverse Acquisitions

 

The Company accounts for acquisitions in accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations,” and applicable SEC reporting requirements under Regulation S-X, Rule 3-05 and Regulation S-K, Items 101 and 303. Transactions qualifying as business combinations are accounted for under the acquisition method, while those classified as asset acquisitions follow the guidance in ASC 805-50. Additionally, the Company evaluates whether a transaction qualifies as a reverse acquisition under ASC 805-40 and applies the appropriate accounting and disclosure requirements.

 

 

Business Combinations

 

For transactions classified as business combinations, the Company:

 

	●	Recognizes and measures identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and noncontrolling interests at their fair values at the acquisition date (ASC 805-20-25-1).
	●	Records goodwill as the excess of the fair value of consideration transferred over the fair value of net assets acquired, including any previously held equity interests (ASC 805-30-30-1).
	●	Expenses acquisition-related costs as incurred, per ASC 805-10-25-23.
	●	Uses preliminary purchase price allocations, with adjustments permitted within the measurement period (not exceeding one year) per ASC 805-10-25-13. Adjustments beyond the measurement period are recorded in earnings.

 

Significant judgments in fair value determinations include:

 

	●	Intangible asset valuations, based on estimates of future cash flows and discount rates.
	●	Useful life assessments, impacting amortization and financial results.
	●	Contingent consideration, which is remeasured at fair value through earnings per ASC 805-30-35-1.

 

For SEC registrants, Regulation S-X, Rule 3-05 may require audited financial statements of the acquired business if the acquisition is significant. The determination of significance follows Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X, which considers investment, asset, and income tests.

 

Asset Acquisitions

 

For transactions classified as asset acquisitions under ASC 805-50, the Company:

 

	●	Applies the “screen test” to determine whether substantially all of the fair value of gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar assets (ASC 805-10-55-3A).
	●	Allocates the purchase price using a cost accumulation model, assigning costs to acquired assets based on their relative fair values (ASC 805-50-30-3).
	●	Capitalizes direct acquisition costs as part of the asset’s cost, unlike business combinations where such costs are expensed (ASC 805-50-25-1).

 

The classification between business combinations and asset acquisitions requires significant judgment, particularly when applying the screen test. Incorrect classification can materially impact:

 

●

The recognition of goodwill (only in business combinations).

 

 

	●	The measurement and presentation of acquired assets and assumed liabilities.
	●	The Company’s financial position and results of operations.

 

Reverse Acquisitions

 

A reverse acquisition occurs when the entity that issues securities (the legal acquirer) is identified as the accounting acquiree, and the entity whose equity interests are acquired (the legal acquiree) is identified as the accounting acquirer under ASC 805-40, “Reverse Acquisitions.”

 

Accounting for Reverse Acquisitions

 

	●	The legal acquiree (accounting acquirer) is treated as the continuing reporting entity, and its assets, liabilities, and operations are measured at historical cost.
	●	The legal acquirer (accounting acquiree) is recognized at fair value, similar to a business combination.
	●	No goodwill is recognized, as the transaction is considered a capital reorganization rather than an acquisition of a business per ASC 805-40-30-2.
	●	The equity structure (common stock and additional paid-in capital) is adjusted to reflect that of the legal acquirer, but the retained earnings balance is that of the accounting acquirer.

 

Disclosure Requirements for Reverse Acquisitions

 

Under SEC Regulation S-X, Rule 3-05, and Regulation S-K, Items 101 and 303, the Company must disclose:

 

	●	A detailed description of the transaction, including how control was obtained.
	●	A comparative analysis of financial statements before and after the acquisition.
	●	Pro forma financial information in accordance with Regulation S-X, Article 11, showing the impact of the transaction as if it had occurred at the beginning of the reporting period.
	●	Changes in governance, management, and operations post-acquisition.

 

For SEC registrants, a reverse merger with a public shell company may also trigger “Super 8-K” reporting requirements under SEC Form 8-K, Item 2.01, requiring disclosure within four business days of the transaction closing.

 

Regulatory and Financial Reporting Considerations

 

For SEC registrants, acquisitions may trigger additional disclosure and reporting requirements:

 

●

Regulation S-X, Rule 3-05: Requires separate financial statements of the acquired business if it meets significance thresholds under Rule 1-02(w).

 

 

	●	Regulation S-K, Item 101: Requires disclosure of the impact of material acquisitions on the Company’s business operations.
	●	Regulation S-K, Item 303: Mandates discussion of the impact of acquisitions on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations in Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A).
	●	Regulation S-X, Article 11: Requires pro forma financial statements if the acquisition is significant.
	●	Form 8-K, Item 2.01: Immediate reporting requirements for material acquisitions, including reverse mergers.

 

The Company continuously evaluates acquisitions, including reverse acquisitions, to ensure proper classification and compliance with ASC 805, SEC reporting requirements, and regulatory guidance.

 

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the recognition of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates, and such differences could be material.

 

In accordance with ASC 250-10-50-4, changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known and are accounted for prospectively. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, industry trends, and other relevant factors, incorporating both quantitative and qualitative assessments that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances.

 

Significant estimates for the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively, include:

 

	●	Allowance for doubtful accounts and other receivables
	●	Inventory reserves and classifications
	●	Valuation of loss contingencies
	●	Valuation of stock-based compensation
	●	Estimated useful lives of property and equipment
	●	Impairment of intangible assets
	●	Implicit interest rate in right-of-use operating leases
	●	Uncertain tax positions
	●	Valuation allowance on deferred tax assets

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Company operates in a highly competitive industry that is subject to intense market dynamics, shifting consumer demand, and economic fluctuations. The Company’s operations are exposed to significant financial, operational, and strategic risks, including potential business disruptions, supply chain constraints, and liquidity challenges.

 

 

In accordance with ASC 275, “Risks and Uncertainties,” the Company evaluates and discloses risks that could materially affect its financial condition, results of operations, and business outlook. Key factors contributing to variability in sales and earnings include:

 

	1.	Industry Cyclicality (ASC 275-10-50-6) – The Company’s financial performance is affected by industry trends, seasonality, and shifts in market demand.
	2.	Macroeconomic Conditions (ASC 275-10-50-8) – Economic downturns, inflationary pressures, interest rate changes, and geopolitical risks may impact consumer purchasing behavior and the Company’s revenue streams.
	3.	Pricing Volatility (ASC 275-10-50-4) – The cost and availability of raw materials, supply chain disruptions, and competitive pricing pressures can lead to fluctuations in gross margins and profitability.

 

Given these uncertainties, the Company faces challenges in accurately forecasting financial performance and may experience material risks affecting liquidity, business continuity, and long-term strategic growth. The Company continuously assesses these risks and implements measures to mitigate their potential impact.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

The Company accounts for accounts receivable in accordance with FASB ASC 310, Receivables. Receivables are recorded at their net realizable value, which represents the amount management expects to collect from outstanding customer balances (ASC 310-10-35-7).

 

The Company extends credit to customers based on an evaluation of their financial condition and other factors. The Company does not require collateral, and interest is not accrued on overdue accounts receivable (ASC 310-10-45-4).

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

Management periodically assesses the collectability of accounts receivable and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts as needed. The allowance is determined based on:

 

	●	A review of outstanding accounts,
	●	Historical collection experience, and
	●	Current economic conditions (ASC 310-10-35-9).

 

Accounts deemed uncollectible are written off against the allowance when determined to be uncollectible (ASC 310-10-35-10).

 

 

Inventory

 

The Company accounts for inventory in accordance with FASB ASC 330, Inventory. Inventory consists solely of fuel and is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value (“LCNRV”) using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method, as required by ASC 330-10-35-1.

 

Inventory Valuation and Reserve Assessment

 

Management assesses the recoverability of inventory each reporting period and establishes reserves for potential inventory write-downs when necessary. The Company evaluates factors such as:

 

	●	Market conditions affecting fuel prices,
	●	Net realizable value based on estimated selling price, and
	●	Inventory turnover trends (ASC 330-10-35-2).

 

Right of Use Assets and Lease Obligations

 

The Company accounts for right-of-use (ROU) assets and lease liabilities in accordance with FASB ASC 842, Leases. These amounts reflect the present value of the Company’s estimated future minimum lease payments over the lease term, including any reasonably certain renewal options, discounted using a collateralized incremental borrowing rate (ASC 842-20-30-1).

 

The Company classifies its leases as either operating or finance leases based on the criteria outlined in ASC 842-10-25-2. The Company’s leases primarily consist of operating leases, which are included as Right-of-Use Assets and Operating Lease Liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.

 

Short-Term Leases

 

The Company has elected the short-term lease exemption allowed under ASC 842-20-25-2, whereby leases with a term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. Instead, lease payments are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

Lease Term and Renewal Options

 

In determining the lease term, the Company evaluates whether renewal options are reasonably certain to be exercised, as required by ASC 842-10-30-1. Factors considered include:

 

	●	The useful life of leasehold improvements relative to the lease term,
	●	The economic performance of the business at the leased location,
	●	The comparative cost of renewal rates versus market rates, and
	●	The presence of any significant economic penalties for non-renewal (ASC 842-10-55-26).

 

 

If a renewal option is deemed reasonably certain to be exercised, the ROU asset and lease liability reflect those additional future lease payments. The Company’s operating leases contain renewal options with no residual value guarantees. Currently, management does not expect to exercise any renewal options, which are therefore excluded in the measurement of lease obligations.

 

Discount Rate and Lease Liability Measurement

 

Since the implicit rate in the leases is not readily determinable, the Company applies an incremental borrowing rate that represents the rate it would incur to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term and currency environment (ASC 842-20-30-3).

 

Lease Impairment

 

In accordance with ASC 360-10-35, the Company evaluates ROU assets for impairment indicators whenever events or changes in circumstances suggest the carrying amount may not be recoverable. No impairments of ROU assets were recognized for the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023.

 

See Note 7 for details on third-party and related-party operating leases.

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with FASB ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as amended by Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09. Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services.

 

The Company generates revenue from mobile fuel sales, which can be purchased as a one-time transaction or through a monthly membership. Revenue from fuel sales is recognized at the time of delivery, and membership revenue is recognized at the end of each month, reflecting the satisfaction of the performance obligation over time within a one-month membership cycle.

 

The Company follows the five-step revenue recognition model outlined in ASC 606-10-05-4:

 

1.

Identify the Contract with a Customer

 

A contract exists when the following criteria are met, per ASC 606-10-25-1:

 

	●	The contract creates enforceable rights and obligations between the Company and the customer.
	●	The contract has commercial substance (i.e., it affects the Company’s cash flows).
	●	The payment terms are identified, and the consideration is determinable.
	●	It is probable that the Company will collect the consideration in exchange for the goods or services transferred.

 

 

Contracts for mobile fuel sales and memberships meet these criteria. Collectability is assessed based on historical customer payment trends and credit risk in accordance with ASC 606-10-25-5.

 

2.

Identify the Performance Obligations in the Contract

 

A performance obligation is a distinct good or service promised in the contract that is both capable of being distinct and distinct in the context of the contract, per ASC 606-10-25-19.

 

The Company has determined that its contracts, based on sales type, contain two distinct performance obligations:

 

	●	Fuel Sales – The delivery of fuel to a customer, with revenue recognized at the point of delivery.
	●	Membership Fees – Monthly membership services, with revenue recognized over time within a one-month membership cycle, as the customer benefits from access to services throughout the period.

 

These performance obligations are not bundled or combined, as each service is separately identifiable, in accordance with ASC 606-10-25-22.

 

3.

Determine the Transaction Price

 

The transaction price is the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods or services to the customer, per ASC 606-10-32-2.

 

The Company’s transaction price considerations include:

 

	●	Fixed consideration – Prices are clearly stated and do not vary based on performance.
	●	No variable consideration – The Company does not formally offer refunds, rebates, or pricing incentives. During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, the Company granted insignificant discounts of less than 1% of total revenues.
	●	No financing component – Payments are made upon fuel delivery or at the end of the monthly membership cycle, per ASC 606-10-32-15.

 

4.

Allocate the Transaction Price to Performance Obligations

 

For contracts with a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is allocated to that obligation, per ASC 606-10-32-40.

 

If a contract included multiple performance obligations, the transaction price would be allocated based on relative standalone selling prices (“SSP”) as required by ASC 606-10-32-28. The standalone selling price is determined based on observable sales data.

 

 

The Company’s fuel sales and memberships each have a distinct standalone selling price, eliminating the need for allocation adjustments.

 

5.

Recognize Revenue When (or As) Performance Obligations Are Satisfied

 

Revenue is recognized at the point in time when control over a product or service is transferred to the customer, in accordance with ASC 606-10-25-30.

 

	●	Fuel Sales: Control transfers at the time of fuel delivery, at which point revenue is recognized.
	●	Membership Fees: Revenue is recognized over time within a one-month cycle, as customers receive continuous access to fuel delivery services throughout the month.

 

The Company does not recognize revenue based on customer invoicing dates; instead, it ensures revenue recognition aligns with the actual satisfaction of performance obligations per ASC 606-10-25-31.

 

Principal vs. Agent Considerations

 

In evaluating whether the Company acts as a principal or an agent in its fuel sales transactions, the Company applies the guidance in ASC 606-10-55-36 through 55-40. The Company has determined that it is the principal in these transactions based on the following factors:

 

	●	The Company controls the fuel before it is transferred to the customer.
	●	The Company has discretion in pricing, as it sets the selling price of fuel.
	●	The Company is responsible for fulfilling the obligation of delivering fuel to the customer.
	●	The Company is exposed to inventory risk, as it procures and holds fuel before sale.

 

Based on these factors, the Company recognizes revenue on a gross basis, as it is the principal in fuel sales transactions in accordance with ASC 606-10-55-37A.

 

Summary of Compliance with ASC 606 and ASU Updates

 

Revenue Stream		Performance Obligation		Recognition Timing		Consideration Type
Fuel Sales		Fuel Delivery		At time of delivery		Fixed price per gallon
Membership Fees		Monthly access to fuel services		Over time (one-month cycle)		Fixed monthly subscription

 

 

Contract Liabilities (Deferred Revenue)

 

Contract liabilities represent amounts received from customers before the satisfaction of performance obligations, which are subsequently recognized as revenue upon fulfillment.

 

Under ASC 606-10-45-2, the Company discloses contract balances related to deferred revenue when applicable. Any prepayments received for fuel deliveries or memberships are classified as contract liabilities until revenue recognition criteria are met.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method prescribed by FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences of differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. These amounts are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply in the periods when temporary differences reverse (ASC 740-10-30-8).

 

The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax balances is recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment date (ASC 740-10-45-4).

 

Uncertain Tax Positions

 

The Company evaluates uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740-10-25, which requires that a tax position be recognized in the financial statements only if it is more likely than not (greater than 50% likelihood) to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities.

 

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, the Company had no uncertain tax positions that qualified for recognition or disclosure in the financial statements (ASC 740-10-50-15).

 

The Company also recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in other expense in the consolidated statement of operations (ASC 740-10-45-25). No interest and penalties were recorded for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

 

Valuation of Deferred Tax Assets

 

The Company’s deferred tax assets include certain future tax benefits, such as net operating losses (NOLs), tax credits, and deductible temporary differences. Under ASC 740-10-30-5, a valuation allowance is required if it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

The Company reviews the realizability of deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis, or more frequently if circumstances warrant, considering both positive and negative evidence (ASC 740-10-30-16).

 

 

Factors Considered in Valuation Allowance Assessment

 

The Company evaluates multiple factors in determining whether a valuation allowance is necessary, including:

 

	●	Historical earnings trends (cumulative pre-tax income or losses in the most recent three-year period)
	●	Future financial projections, including expected taxable income based on long-term estimates of business performance and market conditions
	●	Statutory carryforward periods for net operating losses and other deferred tax assets
	●	Prudent and feasible tax planning strategies that could impact the realization of deferred tax assets
	●	Nature and predictability of temporary differences and the timing of their reversal
	●	Sensitivity of financial forecasts to external factors such as commodity prices, market demand, and operational risks

 

While cumulative three-year losses are a strong indicator that a valuation allowance may be needed, ASC 740-10-30-23 states that a valuation allowance determination is not solely based on past losses—all available positive and negative evidence must be considered.

 

Valuation Allowance Determination

 

At December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, the Company recorded a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets, resulting in a net carrying amount of $0. This determination was based on cumulative losses in recent years and the lack of sufficient positive evidence to support the realization of deferred tax assets in the near term (ASC 740-10-30-24).

 

The Company will continue to evaluate its valuation allowance each reporting period and will recognize deferred tax assets in the future if sufficient positive evidence emerges to support their realization.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation,” using the fair value-based method. Under this guidance, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized over the requisite service period, typically the vesting period.

 

ASC 718 establishes accounting standards for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. It also applies to transactions where an entity incurs liabilities based on the fair value of its equity instruments or liabilities that may be settled using equity instruments.

 

 

In compliance with ASU 2018-07, the Company applies the fair value method for equity instruments granted to both employees and non-employees, aligning non-employee share-based payment accounting with that of employees. The fair value of stock-based compensation is determined as of the grant date or the measurement date (i.e., when the performance obligation is completed) and is recognized over the vesting period in accordance with ASC 718.

 

The Company determines the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, considering the following key assumptions:

 

	●	Exercise price – The agreed-upon price at which the option can be exercised.
	●	Expected dividends – The anticipated dividend yield over the expected life of the option.
	●	Expected volatility – Based on historical stock price fluctuations.
	●	Risk-free interest rate – Derived from U.S. Treasury securities with similar maturities.
	●	Expected life of the option – Estimated based on historical exercise patterns and contractual terms.

 

Additionally, the Company follows the guidance under ASU 2016-09, which introduced amendments to simplify certain accounting aspects of share-based compensation, including:

 

	●	The treatment of tax benefits and tax deficiencies in income tax reporting.
	●	The option to recognize forfeitures as they occur rather than estimating them upfront.
	●	Cash flow classification for certain tax-related transactions.

 

The Company continues to evaluate and apply the latest Accounting Standards Updates (ASUs) and interpretive releases related to stock-based compensation to ensure compliance with evolving financial reporting requirements.

 

Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) per Share and Reverse Stock Split

 

The Company computes earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share.” The calculation of basic EPS follows the two-class method and is determined by dividing net earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, including certain other shares committed to be issued.

 

Basic Earnings Per Share (EPS)

 

Basic EPS is calculated using the two-class method, as prescribed by ASC 260-10-45-60, and is computed as follows:

 

	●	Net earnings available to common shareholders represent net earnings to common shareholders, adjusted for the allocation of earnings to participating securities.
	●	Losses are not allocated to participating securities in accordance with ASC 260-10-45-61.

 

 

●

The denominator includes common shares outstanding and certain other shares committed to be issued, such as restricted stock and restricted stock units (“RSUs”), for which no future service is required.

 

Diluted Earnings Per Share (EPS)

 

Diluted EPS is calculated under both the two-class method and the treasury stock method, and the more dilutive result is reported, as required by ASC 260-10-45-45.

 

●

Diluted EPS is computed by taking the sum of:

 

	○	Net earnings available to common shareholders
	○	Dividends on preferred shares
	○	Dividends on dilutive mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred shares
	○	Divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and certain other shares committed to be issued, plus all dilutive common stock equivalents during the period, such as:

 

	■	Stock options
	■	Warrants
	■	Convertible preferred stock
	■	Convertible debt

 

●

Preferred shares and unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) qualify as participating securities under the two-class method, per ASC 260-10-45-62.

 

Net Loss Per Share Considerations

 

In computing net loss per share, unvested shares of common stock are excluded from the denominator, as required by ASC 260-10-45-48.

 

Participating Securities & Share-Based Compensation

 

Restricted stock and RSUs granted as part of share-based compensation contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends and dividend equivalents, respectively. Therefore:

 

	●	Before the requisite service is rendered for the right to retain the award, these instruments meet the definition of a participating security under ASC 260-10-45-59.
	●	RSUs granted under an executive compensation plan, however, are not considered participating securities because the rights to dividend equivalents are forfeitable (ASC 718-10-25).

 

 

Related Parties

 

The Company defines related parties in accordance with ASC 850, “Related Party Disclosures,” and SEC Regulation S-X, Rule 4-08(k). Related parties include entities and individuals that, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, control, are controlled by, or are under common control with the Company.

 

Related parties include, but are not limited to:

 

	●	Principal owners of the Company.
	●	Members of management (including directors, executive officers, and key employees).
	●	Immediate family members of principal owners and members of management.
	●	Entities affiliated with principal owners or management through direct or indirect ownership.
	●	Entities with which the Company has significant transactions, where one party has the ability to exercise control or significant influence over the management or operating policies of the other.

 

A party is considered related if it has the ability to control or significantly influence the management or operating policies of the Company in a manner that could prevent either party from fully pursuing its own separate economic interests.

 

The Company discloses all material related party transactions, including:

 

	●	The nature of the relationship between the parties.
	●	A description of the transaction(s), including terms and amounts involved.
	●	Any amounts due to or from related parties as of the reporting date.
	●	Any other elements necessary for a clear understanding of the transactions’ effects on the financial statements.

 

Disclosures are made in accordance with ASC 850-10-50-1 through 50-6 and SEC Regulation S-X, Rule 4-08(k), which requires registrants to disclose material related party transactions and their effects on the financial position and results of operations.

Results of Operations

 

General

 

The Company operates an on-demand mobile fueling service that allows customers—ranging from individual consumers to commercial fleets—to schedule fuel deliveries directly to their vehicles or equipment via a proprietary technology platform. The Company’s revenue is generated primarily from the sale and delivery of fuel. Cost of sales includes the cost of fuel, direct labor, and other delivery-related expenses. Operating expenses consist of selling, general and administrative expenses, technology development, and other unallocated overhead.

 

The following table sets forth our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023:

 

		Years Ended December 31,								Year over Year Changes
		2024				2023				Increase (Decrease)

Revenues

 

Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2024, increased significantly compared to the prior year December 31, 2023. This growth was primarily attributable to a rise in gallons delivered as well as an uptick in the average price per gallon. Several factors contributed to this performance:

 

1.

Expanded Customer Base

 

The Company successfully grew its presence in existing markets while entering new regions, resulting in a higher total volume of fuel delivered. This expansion was supported by focused sales efforts and brand-building initiatives that attracted both new commercial and residential customers.

 

2.

Fleet Partnerships

 

Strategic partnerships with commercial fleet operators continued to drive fueling volumes. These partnerships often involve recurring, contracted deliveries that provide a stable, predictable revenue stream. As more fleet operators adopt on-demand fueling to reduce downtime and optimize logistics, EzFill benefits from increased, repeat business.

 

3.

Enhanced Technology & Marketing

 

Ongoing enhancements to the EzFill mobile application—including user interface improvements and expanded scheduling features—improved the customer experience and streamlined order placement. Coupled with targeted marketing campaigns, these tech and branding initiatives boosted visibility and encouraged higher consumer adoption rates, further lifting revenues.

 

Cost of Sales

 

Cost of sales rose year over year, in line with the higher sales volumes and expanded market coverage. Despite the increase in absolute costs, gross profit improved, reflecting disciplined pricing, higher-margin sales, and operational efficiencies. Key factors influencing cost of sales include:

 

1.

Higher Fuel Volume

 

As overall demand increased, the Company purchased and delivered a greater volume of fuel. Although this drove up the total cost of sales, it remained proportionate to revenue growth, preserving gross margins.

 

2.

Fuel Price Fluctuations

 

Commodity price swings can significantly affect fuel costs. However, the Company’s dynamic pricing strategies and supplier relationships helped ensure that these fluctuations did not adversely impact overall profitability.

 

 

3.

Logistics & Delivery Costs

 

Expansion into new geographic areas required additional delivery routes and staffing. While these investments raised labor and transportation costs, they were essential for meeting growing customer demand. Improved driver efficiency and delivery scheduling helped partially offset the impact of these higher costs, contributing to the year-over-year improvement in gross profit.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Operating expenses decreased compared to the prior year, primarily due to effective cost-management initiatives across multiple categories:

 

●

Payroll: Streamlined staffing and improved operational processes led to lower headcount-related expenses.

 

●

Sales & Marketing: After establishing brand awareness in key regions, the Company optimized its marketing spend, focusing on more targeted campaigns rather than broad-based advertising.

 

●

Insurance & Technology: Renegotiated insurance policies and a strategic re-evaluation of technology expenditures contributed to reduced overhead.

 

●

Public Company Expenses: Enhanced internal controls and better vendor management lowered certain fees and administrative costs associated with being a publicly traded company.

 

Notably, these savings were partially offset by a small increase in stock-based compensation, underscoring the Company’s commitment to attracting and retaining top talent through equity incentives.

 

Depreciation and Amortization

 

Depreciation and amortization declined marginally year over year. The primary driver of this decrease was an impairment of certain equipment totaling $13,422. This reduction was partially offset by new asset additions of approximately $38,554, reflecting the Company’s ongoing investments in delivery vehicles, fueling technology, and other capital expenditures necessary to support continued growth and maintain operational efficiency.

 

 

Other Income (Expense)

 

Other income and (expense) consisted of the following

 

		For the Years Ended December 31,								Year over Year Changes
		2024				2023				Increase (Decrease)
		Amount				Amount				$ Amount				% Change
Interest income		$	-			$	34,327			$	(34,327	)			-100.00	%
Other income			249,253				64,800				184,453				284.65	%
Interest expense (including amortization of debt discount)			(8,248,642	)			(1,719,296	)			(6,529,346	)			379.77	%
Loss on sale of marketable debt securities - net			-				(27,160	)			27,160				-100.00	%
Loss on debt extinguishment - related party			(907,500	)			(291,000	)			(616,500	)			211.86	%
Total other income (expense) - net		$	(8,906,889	)		$	(1,938,329	)		$	(6,968,560	)			359.51	%

 

The Company’s other income (expense), net, deteriorated significantly for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to the prior year. The primary drivers were the increase in interest expense—particularly from default penalty interest—and the loss on debt extinguishment associated with related-party debt transactions. Below is a detailed breakdown of the major components.

 

Interest Income

 

Interest income dropped to zero in 2024, reflecting a shift in the Company’s cash management strategy. In 2023, the Company had short-term investments or interest-bearing accounts that generated interest, which did not recur in 2024.

 

Other income

 

Other income rose significantly, driven by one-time gains, settlements, or other ancillary revenue sources. The Company’s expansion and increased commercial activities may have contributed to additional non-operating income streams.

 

Interest Expense (including amortization of debt discount)

 

Interest expense surged in 2024, primarily due to:

 

1.

Default Penalty Interest: The Company incurred $4,475,565 in default penalty interest during 2024, compared to none in the prior year. This penalty arose from contractual defaults. These defaults occurred in connection with conversion of debt to equity.

 

 

2.

Amortization of Debt Discount: The amortization of debt discount increased to $2,645,291 in 2024 from $1,403,244 in 2023. This reflects additional debt arrangements with original issue discounts. Additionally, in connection with the conversion of debt converted to equity, related unamortized discounts were expensed at that time.

 

3.

Existing and New Borrowings: Interest expense was recognized on outstanding debt instruments.

 

Loss on Sale of Marketable Debt Securities - Net

 

The Company had no activity related to marketable securities in 2024. In 2023, there was an insignificant loss of $27,160.

 

Loss on Debt Extinguishment – Related Party

 

The Company recorded a loss on debt extinguishment of $907,500 in 2024 in connection with the conversion of related-party debt to Series A Preferred Stock. By contrast, in 2023, the Company recorded a $291,000 loss tied to extending the maturity date on the same related-party debt.

 

Net Loss

 

		Years Ended December 31,								Year over Year Changes
		2023				2022				Increase (Decrease)
		Amount				Amount				$ Amount				% Change
Net Loss		$	(16,189,008	)		$	(10,471,889	)		$	(5,717,119	)			54.59	%

 

Our net loss was the result of the categories discussed above. Overall, the increase in revenues, driven by both volume and pricing, showcases the Company’s successful market expansion and deepening fleet partnerships. While costs naturally rose with higher delivery volumes, disciplined operational execution and strategic pricing helped improve gross profit. Ongoing cost-optimization initiatives further reduced operating expenses, though the Company continues to invest in talent and technology to fuel long-term growth.

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure which we use in our financial performance analyses. This measure should not be considered a substitute for GAAP-basis measures, nor should it be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP. We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the impact of net interest expense, taxes, depreciation, amortization, impairment of goodwill, other intangibles and fixed assets, and stock compensation expense, provides useful supplemental information that is essential to a proper understanding of our financial results. Non-GAAP measures are not formally defined by GAAP, and other entities may use calculation methods that differ from ours for the purposes of calculating Adjusted EBITDA. As a complement to GAAP financial measures, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA assists investors who follow the practice of some investment analysts who adjust GAAP financial measures to exclude items that may obscure underlying performance and distort comparability.

 

 

The following is a reconciliation of net loss to the non-GAAP financial measure referred to as Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023:

 

		Years Ended December 31,								Year over Year Changes
		2024				2023				Increase (Decrease)
		Amount				Amount				$ Amount				% Change

		December 31,				December 31,				Increase (Decrease)
		2024				2023				$ Amount				% Change
Cash and cash equivalents		$	438,299			$	226,985			$	211,314				93.10	%

 

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

 

1.

Debt Financing Received Late in the Year

 

The Company secured additional financing toward the end of the fiscal year, boosting its cash position. This infusion of funds was a key component in supporting ongoing operational needs and future growth initiatives.

 

 

2.

Timing of Expenses

 

Certain operating expenses were either deferred or settled after year-end, resulting in higher cash on hand as of December 31, 2024. This timing variance can create short-term fluctuations in the Company’s reported cash balances.

 

Overall, the Company’s stronger cash position provides added liquidity to support daily operations, manage working capital requirements, and pursue strategic opportunities.

 

Management continues to monitor cash flows carefully to ensure that the Company maintains sufficient funding for near-term obligations and future expansion.

 

The following reflects our inflows (outflows) from our various operating, investing and financing activities:

Year Ended December 31, 2024 as compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2023

 

Operating Activities

 

Net cash used in operating activities decreased by approximately $2.1 million year over year.

 

This improvement primarily reflects stronger operational performance, including higher revenues and improved working capital management, which reduced the Company’s cash burn.

 

In addition, more efficient cost controls and timing differences in payables/receivables contributed to a lower net outflow compared to the prior year.

 

Investing Activities

 

Cash used in investing activities increased substantially, driven by higher capital expenditures (vehicles purchased, not yet placed in service as well as a deposit paid on future asset purchase), offset by no proceeds in the current year from the sales of marketable securities.

 

 

While this resulted in a larger net outflow, these investments are expected to enhance operational capacity and future growth potential.

 

Financing Activities

 

Net cash provided by financing activities rose significantly, reflecting successful capital-raising efforts. This increase could be attributable to:

 

1.

Debt Financing: Proceeds from the issuance of notes payable and notes payable – related parties. The Company secured additional debt contributing to higher inflows.

 

2.

Equity Issuances: Proceeds from issuing preferred shares bolstered the cash balance, supporting ongoing operations and strategic initiatives.

 

Net Change in Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Overall, the Company’s cash position improved by approximately $2.1 million, transitioning from a net outflow in the prior year to a net inflow in 2024. This positive swing is primarily the result of substantial financing proceeds received late in the year, alongside more favorable operating cash flows. The timing of major expenses and capital projects also influenced the Company’s cash balance at year-end.

 

Cash Flow Summary

 

1.

Strengthened Liquidity: The significant uptick in financing inflows helped offset operating and investing outflows, resulting in a positive net change in cash and cash equivalents.

 

2.

Growth-Focused Investments: The higher cash outflows for investing activities underscore the Company’s commitment to scaling its operations, although this increases near-term cash usage.

 

3.

Improving Operational Cash Use: A reduction in net cash used in operating activities highlights improving efficiencies and stronger sales, but continued focus on cost management remains critical to achieving positive operating cash flows in the future.

 

Overall, the Company’s cash flow trends reflect a deliberate effort to fund growth initiatives while managing day-to-day operational needs. Management believes that recent financing activities, coupled with ongoing improvements in operational efficiency, will position the Company for future stability and expansion.

Conclusion

 

1.

Liquidity and Capital Resources: The significant increase in cash from financing activities late in the year has improved the Company’s liquidity. However, higher interest expense and ongoing operational requirements underscore the importance of prudent cash management and careful monitoring of debt covenants.

 

2.

Investment in Growth: The Company’s heavier investment in vehicles and deposits for future assets highlights a strategic push toward market expansion and increased service capacity. While these initiatives may weigh on near-term free cash flow, they are expected to enhance revenue-generating potential in the long term.

 

3.

Focus on Operational Efficiency: Management continues to prioritize cost controls, aiming to reduce the net cash used in operating activities. Improved working capital management, route optimization, and potential price adjustments are key levers for achieving positive cash flow from operations in future periods.

 

 

4.

Related-Party Financing: The continued reliance on related-party notes and convertible preferred stock indicates a supportive investor base. Nonetheless, the Company must remain mindful of the terms and potential ramifications of such financing, including interest rates, default provisions, and equity dilution.

 

By maintaining a disciplined approach to both spending and financing, EzFill aims to strengthen its balance sheet and sustain the growth momentum of its on-demand fueling business.

 

Liquidity and Sources of Capital

 

At this time, we believe our existing funding sources may not be sufficient to meet our operational requirements and service our debt obligations over the next 12 months from the issuance date of these consolidated financial statements. This assessment is based on our historical operating performance, ongoing capital needs, and our current reliance on external financing.

 

Historical Operating Performance and Financing

 

Since inception, the Company has incurred net losses and has not generated sufficient revenues or positive operating income to independently fund our operations. Consequently, we have depended on equity and debt financings—including those from related parties—to finance our activities and support our growth initiatives. This reliance on external funding has been critical for maintaining day-to-day operations, expanding our service capacity, and investing in technology and assets. However, it has also introduced risks related to interest expense, equity dilution, and dependency on the availability of future financing.

 

Current Liquidity Position

 

Our liquidity position primarily reflects a combination of cash on hand and available debt arrangements.

 

Despite recent improvements in cash balances due to targeted financing activities, we continue to face challenges in achieving sustainable cash flow from operations. The timing of expenditures and capital outlays, coupled with the inherent volatility in revenue generation in our industry, adds to the uncertainty of our liquidity profile.

 

Debt Obligations and Capital Expenditures

 

A significant portion of our near-term cash outflows is attributable to scheduled debt repayments and interest expense, including higher financing costs incurred from default penalty interest and increased debt discount amortization. Additionally, as we invest in capital expenditures—such as the purchase of new delivery vehicles and technology enhancements—to support expansion into new markets, our cash requirements remain elevated. These commitments, while essential for long-term growth, further strain our liquidity in the short term.

 

 

Reliance on External Financing

 

Given the current financial dynamics, we have continually relied on external sources of capital. Our funding strategies have included:

 

	●	Equity Issuances: Raising capital through the sale of common or preferred shares, including convertible securities from related parties.
	●	Debt Financings: Securing loans and other debt instruments, often under terms that include default penalty interest or other onerous conditions, which have contributed to higher financing costs.
	●	Related-Party Transactions: Engaging with supportive investors and related parties who have provided additional funds, albeit at terms that may affect our overall capital structure.

 

Going Concern Considerations

 

Our independent registered public accounting firm has issued a going concern qualification, reflecting the material uncertainties surrounding our ability to continue as a profitable entity. This qualification is primarily driven by:

 

	●	The historical and recurring net losses.
	●	Our dependence on external capital to finance operations.
	●	The risk that current financing arrangements may not be renewed or may be available only under less favorable terms.

 

Management is actively pursuing strategies to enhance revenue generation, improve operational efficiencies, and secure additional financing on more sustainable terms. We are evaluating various initiatives, including cost-containment measures, operational improvements, and strategic partnerships, with the aim of transitioning to positive cash flow from operations. However, there remains a risk that these strategies may not yield the desired outcomes in the near term.

 

Outlook and Mitigating Actions

 

In light of these challenges, we continue to closely monitor our liquidity position and are exploring multiple avenues to secure additional funding. These include:

 

	●	Negotiating more favorable terms on existing and future debt.
	●	Identifying new equity partners or investors.
	●	Optimizing working capital through tighter control of receivables, payables, and inventory management.

 

 

While these efforts are underway, our ability to meet operational and financial obligations over the next 12 months remains subject to significant uncertainty. Investors and stakeholders should be aware of the risks associated with our current liquidity and capital structure, and the potential need for additional financing that could result in further dilution or increased debt service obligations.

 

Going Concern Qualification

 

As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, for the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company had:

 

●	Net loss available to common stockholders of $16,447,279; and
●	Net cash used in operations was $4,585,641

 

Additionally, at December 31, 2024, the Company had:

 

●	Accumulated deficit of $61,764,329
●	Stockholders’ equity of $2,155,571; and
●	Working capital deficit of $7,416,533

 

The Company anticipates that it will need to raise additional capital immediately in order to continue to fund its operations. The Company has relied on related parties for the debt based funding of its operations. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain funds on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. There is also no assurance that the amount of funds the Company might raise will enable the Company to complete its initiatives or attain profitable operations.

 

The Company’s operating needs include the planned costs to operate its business, including amounts required to fund working capital and capital expenditures. The Company’s future capital requirements and the adequacy of its available funds will depend on many factors, including the Company’s ability to successfully expand to new markets, competition, and the need to enter into collaborations with other companies or acquire other companies to enhance or complement its product and service offerings.

 

There can be no assurances that financing will be available on terms which are favorable, or at all. If the Company is unable to raise additional funding to meet its working capital needs in the future, it will be forced to delay, reduce, or cease its operations.

 

We manage liquidity risk by reviewing, on an ongoing basis, our sources of liquidity and capital requirements. The Company had cash on hand of $438,299 at December 31, 2024.

 

The Company has historically incurred significant losses since inception and has not demonstrated an ability to generate sufficient revenues from the sales of its products and services to achieve profitable operations. In making this assessment we performed a comprehensive analysis of our current circumstances including: our financial position, our cash flows and cash usage forecasts for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, and our current capital structure including equity-based instruments and our obligations and debts.

 

 

These factors create substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within the twelve-month period subsequent to the date that these financial statements are issued.

 

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a basis that assumes the Company will continue as a going concern and which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business.

 

Management’s strategic plans include the following:

 

●	Expand into new and existing markets (commercial and residential);
●	Obtain additional debt and/or equity based financing for growth;
●	Closed our transaction with NextNRG, Inc. (occurred February 13, 2025);
●	Collaborations with other operating businesses for strategic opportunities; and
●	Acquire other businesses to enhance or complement our current business model while accelerating our growth.

Promissory Note, dated as of December 26, 2024

 

On December 26, 2024, the Company and Gad International Ltd. (the “Lender”) entered into a promissory note (the “Gad Note”) for the sum of $2,500,000 (the “Loan”) to be used for the Company’s working capital needs, including without limitation the purchase of equipment. Unless the Gad Note is otherwise accelerated, or extended in accordance with the terms and conditions therein, the balance of the Gad Note, along with accrued interest, will be due and payable in full on February 23, 2025.

The Company shall take no action to impair, hinder or impede either the approval process or the issuance of the shares in the event they become owed to Lender. Such shares of common stock will be valued based on the Nasdaq official closing price for the Company’s common stock as of date of the issuance of the Gad Note. The note was extended to March 23, 2025, and in exchange for the extension of the maturity date, the Company paid a fee of $200,000.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of NEXTNRG, Inc. and Subsidiaries

 

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of NEXTNRG, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2024 and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company suffered a net loss from operations and has insufficient revenues and income to fully fund the operations, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and the significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

Critical Audit Matter

 

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audits of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated, or required to be communicated, to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

 

Going Concern

 

Due to the net loss for the year, the Company evaluated the need for a going concern.

 

Auditing management’s evaluation of a going concern can be a significant judgement given the fact that the Company uses management estimates on future revenues and expenses which are not able to be substantiated.

 

As discussed in Note 1, the Company suffered a net loss from operations and has an accumulated deficit for the year ended December 31, 2024.

 

To evaluate the appropriateness of the going concern, we examined and evaluated the financial information along with management’s plans to mitigate the going concern and management’s disclosure on going concern.

NASDAQ – Continued Listing Rule or Standard

 

As previously disclosed, on August 22, 2023, the Company received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Staff (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the Company’s stockholders’ equity did not comply with the minimum $2,500,000 stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing set forth in Listing Rule 5550(b) (the “Equity Rule”). Upon submission of the Company’s plan to regain compliance, the Staff granted the Company an extension until February 20, 2024 to comply with this requirement.

 

On February 21, 2024, the Company received a delist determination letter (the “Delist Letter”) from the Staff advising the Company that the Staff had determined that the Company did not meet the terms of the extension. Specifically, the Company did not complete its proposed transaction to regain compliance with the Equity Rule and evidence compliance on or before February 20, 2024. See Form 8-K filed on February 23, 2024.

The Company had requested an appeal for the Staff’s determination. A hearing occurred on May 2, 2024. At the hearing, the Company presented its plan for regaining compliance with the Equity Rule and may request a further extension to complete the execution of its plan.

 

On August 30, 2024, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq confirming that the Company has (i) regained compliance with the Equity Rule, as required by the Panel’s decision dated May 13, 2024, as amended, and (ii) in application of Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(B), the Company will be subject to a mandatory panel monitor for a period of one year from the date of such letter. If, within that one-year monitoring period, the Staff finds that the Company is no longer in compliance with the Equity Rule, then, notwithstanding Listing Rule 5810(c)(2), the Company will not be permitted to provide Staff with a plan of compliance with respect to such deficiency and Staff will not be permitted to grant additional time for the Company to regain compliance with respect to such deficiency, nor will the Company be afforded an applicable cure or compliance period pursuant to Listing Rule 5810(c)(3). Instead, the Staff will issue a Delist Determination Letter, and the Company will have an opportunity to request a new hearing with the initial Panel or a newly convened Hearings Panel if the initial Panel is unavailable. The Company will have the opportunity to respond/ present to the Hearings Panel as provided by Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(C) and the Company’s securities may at that time be delisted from Nasdaq.

The Company anticipates that it will need to raise additional capital immediately in order to continue to fund its operations. The Company has relied on related parties for the debt based funding of its operations. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain funds on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. There is also no assurance that the amount of funds the Company might raise will enable the Company to complete its initiatives or attain profitable operations.

 

The Company’s operating needs include the planned costs to operate its business, including amounts required to fund working capital and capital expenditures. The Company’s future capital requirements and the adequacy of its available funds will depend on many factors, including the Company’s ability to successfully expand to new markets, competition, and the need to enter into collaborations with other companies or acquire other companies to enhance or complement its product and service offerings.

 

There can be no assurances that financing will be available on terms which are favorable, or at all. If the Company is unable to raise additional funding to meet its working capital needs in the future, it will be forced to delay, reduce, or cease its operations.

 

We manage liquidity risk by reviewing, on an ongoing basis, our sources of liquidity and capital requirements. The Company had cash on hand of $438,299 at December 31, 2024.

 

The Company has historically incurred significant losses since inception and has not demonstrated an ability to generate sufficient revenues from the sales of its products and services to achieve profitable operations. In making this assessment we performed a comprehensive analysis of our current circumstances including: our financial position, our cash flows and cash usage forecasts for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, and our current capital structure including equity-based instruments and our obligations and debts.

 

These factors create substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within the twelve-month period subsequent to the date that these financial statements are issued.

 

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a basis that assumes the Company will continue as a going concern and which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The Company consolidates entities where it has a controlling financial interest, as defined by ASC 810, “Consolidation”.

 

In accordance with ASC 810-10, consolidation applies to:

 

●

Entities with more than 50% voting interest, unless control is not with the Company; and

●

Variable Interest Entities (VIEs), where the Company is the primary beneficiary, possessing both (i) power over significant activities and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits.

 

All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation per ASC 810-10-45. The Company continuously evaluates its investments and relationships to assess consolidation requirements.

 

Business Combinations, Asset Acquisitions, and Reverse Acquisitions

 

The Company accounts for acquisitions in accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations,” and applicable SEC reporting requirements under Regulation S-X, Rule 3-05 and Regulation S-K, Items 101 and 303. Transactions qualifying as business combinations are accounted for under the acquisition method, while those classified as asset acquisitions follow the guidance in ASC 805-50. Additionally, the Company evaluates whether a transaction qualifies as a reverse acquisition under ASC 805-40 and applies the appropriate accounting and disclosure requirements.

 

 

 NEXTNRG, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

FORMERLY KNOWN AS EZFILL HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2024 AND 2023

 

Business Combinations

 

For transactions classified as business combinations, the Company:

 

●

Recognizes and measures identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and noncontrolling interests at their fair values at the acquisition date (ASC 805-20-25-1).

●

Records goodwill as the excess of the fair value of consideration transferred over the fair value of net assets acquired, including any previously held equity interests (ASC 805-30-30-1).

●

Expenses acquisition-related costs as incurred, per ASC 805-10-25-23.

●

Uses preliminary purchase price allocations, with adjustments permitted within the measurement period (not exceeding one year) per ASC 805-10-25-13. Adjustments beyond the measurement period are recorded in earnings.

 

Significant judgments in fair value determinations include:

 

●

Intangible asset valuations, based on estimates of future cash flows and discount rates.

●

Useful life assessments, impacting amortization and financial results.

●

Contingent consideration, which is remeasured at fair value through earnings per ASC 805-30-35-1.

 

For SEC registrants, Regulation S-X, Rule 3-05 may require audited financial statements of the acquired business if the acquisition is significant. The determination of significance follows Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X, which considers investment, asset, and income tests.

 

Asset Acquisitions

 

For transactions classified as asset acquisitions under ASC 805-50, the Company:

 

●

Applies the “screen test” to determine whether substantially all of the fair value of gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar assets (ASC 805-10-55-3A).

●

Allocates the purchase price using a cost accumulation model, assigning costs to acquired assets based on their relative fair values (ASC 805-50-30-3).

●

Capitalizes direct acquisition costs as part of the asset’s cost, unlike business combinations where such costs are expensed (ASC 805-50-25-1).

 

 

NEXTNRG, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

FORMERLY KNOWN AS EZFILL HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2024 AND 2023

 

The classification between business combinations and asset acquisitions requires significant judgment, particularly when applying the screen test. Incorrect classification can materially impact:

 

●

The recognition of goodwill (only in business combinations).

●

The measurement and presentation of acquired assets and assumed liabilities.

●

The Company’s financial position and results of operations.

 

Reverse Acquisitions

 

A reverse acquisition occurs when the entity that issues securities (the legal acquirer) is identified as the accounting acquiree, and the entity whose equity interests are acquired (the legal acquiree) is identified as the accounting acquirer under ASC 805-40, “Reverse Acquisitions.”

 

Accounting for Reverse Acquisitions

 

●

The legal acquiree (accounting acquirer) is treated as the continuing reporting entity, and its assets, liabilities, and operations are measured at historical cost.

●

The legal acquirer (accounting acquiree) is recognized at fair value, similar to a business combination.

●

No goodwill is recognized, as the transaction is considered a capital reorganization rather than an acquisition of a business per ASC 805-40-30-2.

●

The equity structure (common stock and additional paid-in capital) is adjusted to reflect that of the legal acquirer, but the retained earnings balance is that of the accounting acquirer.

 

Disclosure Requirements for Reverse Acquisitions

 

Under SEC Regulation S-X, Rule 3-05, and Regulation S-K, Items 101 and 303, the Company must disclose:

 

●

A detailed description of the transaction, including how control was obtained.

●

A comparative analysis of financial statements before and after the acquisition.

●

Pro forma financial information in accordance with Regulation S-X, Article 11, showing the impact of the transaction as if it had occurred at the beginning of the reporting period.

●

Changes in governance, management, and operations post-acquisition.

 

For SEC registrants, a reverse merger with a public shell company may also trigger “Super 8-K” reporting requirements under SEC Form 8-K, Item 2.01, requiring disclosure within four business days of the transaction closing.

FORMERLY KNOWN AS EZFILL HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2024 AND 2023

 

Regulatory and Financial Reporting Considerations

 

For SEC registrants, acquisitions may trigger additional disclosure and reporting requirements:

 

●

Regulation S-X, Rule 3-05: Requires separate financial statements of the acquired business if it meets significance thresholds under Rule 1-02(w).

●

Regulation S-K, Item 101: Requires disclosure of the impact of material acquisitions on the Company’s business operations.

●

Regulation S-K, Item 303: Mandates discussion of the impact of acquisitions on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations in Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A).

●

Regulation S-X, Article 11: Requires pro forma financial statements if the acquisition is significant.

●

Form 8-K, Item 2.01: Immediate reporting requirements for material acquisitions, including reverse mergers.

 

The Company continuously evaluates acquisitions, including reverse acquisitions, to ensure proper classification and compliance with ASC 805, SEC reporting requirements, and regulatory guidance.

 

Business Segments and Expense Disclosure

 

The Company follows ASC 280, Segment Reporting, which requires public entities to report financial and descriptive information about their reportable operating segments.

 

ASC 280-10-50-1 states that an operating segment is a component of a public entity that:

 

●

Engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses;

●

Has operating results that are regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM,” which is our Chief Executive Officer) to make decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment; and

●

Has discrete financial information available.

 

Under ASC 280-10-50-5, a public entity is required to report separately only those operating segments that meet certain quantitative thresholds. However, as specified in ASC 280-10-50-11, if a company’s business activities are managed as a single operating segment and reviewed on a consolidated basis, the company may report as a single segment. The Company has determined that it operates as one reportable segment, as its CODM reviews the business as a whole rather than by distinct business components.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2024 AND 2023

 

Application of ASU 2023-07 – Segment Expense Disclosure Requirements

 

In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, which enhances segment reporting by requiring public entities to disclose significant segment expenses that are regularly reviewed by the CODM. However, under ASC 280-10-50-31, these requirements apply only to entities with multiple reportable segments. Since the Company operates as a single reportable segment, it is not required to disclose segment expenses separately.

 

Although ASC 280-10-50-32 allows entities to voluntarily disclose additional segment-related information, including a breakdown of expenses, the Company is not required to present individual expense categories, and has not done so, because its operations are reviewed and managed as a single segment.

 

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the recognition of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates, and such differences could be material.

 

In accordance with ASC 250-10-50-4, changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known and are accounted for prospectively. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, industry trends, and other relevant factors, incorporating both quantitative and qualitative assessments that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances.

 

Significant estimates for the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively, include:

 

●

Allowance for doubtful accounts and other receivables

●

Inventory reserves and classifications

●

Valuation of loss contingencies

●

Valuation of stock-based compensation

●

Estimated useful lives of property and equipment

●

Impairment of intangible assets

●

Implicit interest rate in right-of-use operating leases

●

Uncertain tax positions

●

Valuation allowance on deferred tax assets

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Company operates in a highly competitive industry that is subject to intense market dynamics, shifting consumer demand, and economic fluctuations. The Company’s operations are exposed to significant financial, operational, and strategic risks, including potential business disruptions, supply chain constraints, and liquidity challenges.

 

In accordance with ASC 275, “Risks and Uncertainties,” the Company evaluates and discloses risks that could materially affect its financial condition, results of operations, and business outlook. Key factors contributing to variability in sales and earnings include:

 

1.

Industry Cyclicality (ASC 275-10-50-6) – The Company’s financial performance is affected by industry trends, seasonality, and shifts in market demand.

2.

Macroeconomic Conditions (ASC 275-10-50-8) – Economic downturns, inflationary pressures, interest rate changes, and geopolitical risks may impact consumer purchasing behavior and the Company’s revenue streams.

3.

Pricing Volatility (ASC 275-10-50-4) – The cost and availability of raw materials, supply chain disruptions, and competitive pricing pressures can lead to fluctuations in gross margins and profitability.

 

Given these uncertainties, the Company faces challenges in accurately forecasting financial performance and may experience material risks affecting liquidity, business continuity, and long-term strategic growth. The Company continuously assesses these risks and implements measures to mitigate their potential impact.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company accounts for financial instruments in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, which establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires related disclosures. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the Company’s principal market or, if none exists, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.

 

 

NEXTNRG, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

FORMERLY KNOWN AS EZFILL HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2024 AND 2023

 

Fair Value Hierarchy

 

ASC 820 requires the use of observable inputs whenever available and establishes a three-tier hierarchy for measuring fair value: 

 

●

Level 1 – Quoted market prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

●

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities or inputs that are directly or indirectly observable.

●

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that require significant judgment, including management assumptions and estimates based on available market data.

 

The classification of an asset or liability within the hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Level 3 valuations generally require more judgment and complexity, often involving a combination of cost, market, or income approaches, as well as assumptions about market conditions, pricing, and other factors.

 

Fair Value Determination and Use of External Advisors

 

The Company assesses the fair value of its financial instruments and, where appropriate, may engage external valuation specialists to assist in determining fair value. While management believes that recorded fair values are reasonable, they may not necessarily reflect net realizable values or future fair values.

 

Financial Instruments Carried at Historical Cost

 

The Company’s financial instruments—including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses (including related party balances)—are recorded at historical cost. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, the carrying amounts of these instruments approximated their fair values due to their short-term maturities.

 

Fair Value Option Under ASC 825

 

ASC 825-10, Financial Instruments, permits entities to elect the fair value option for certain financial assets and liabilities. This election is made on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable unless a new election date occurs. If elected, unrealized gains and losses are recognized in earnings at each reporting date. The Company has not elected the fair value option for any of its outstanding financial instruments.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2024 AND 2023

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Concentration of Credit Risk

 

For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the purchase date and money market accounts to be cash equivalents.

 

At December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, the Company did not have any cash equivalents.

 

The Company is exposed to credit risk on its cash and cash equivalents in the event of default by the financial institutions to the extent account balances exceed the amount insured by the FDIC, which is $250,000.

 

At December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, the Company did not experience any losses on cash balances in excess of FDIC insured limits.

 

Investments

 

The Company accounts for available-for-sale (AFS) debt securities in accordance with FASB ASC 320, Investments—Debt and Equity Securities. These securities are recorded at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses recognized as a component of other comprehensive income (OCI) unless deemed other-than-temporary, per ASC 320-10-35-1.

 

Recognition of Gains, Losses, and Amortization

 

●

Realized gains and losses, including impairments, are recorded in net income in accordance with ASC 320-10-35-25.

●

Cost basis for sales is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method, per ASC 320-10-35-4.

●

Premiums and discounts on AFS debt securities are amortized using the straight-line method over the security’s life, in accordance with ASC 320-10-35-10.

 

Impairment Assessment

 

The Company evaluates AFS debt securities for other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) in accordance with ASC 320-10-35-33 to 35. The assessment considers:

 

●

The extent and duration of declines in fair value below amortized cost,

●

The financial condition and creditworthiness of the issuer, and

●

The Company’s intent and ability to hold the security until recovery.

 

 

NEXTNRG, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

FORMERLY KNOWN AS EZFILL HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2024 AND 2023

 

If an OTTI is identified, the impairment loss is recognized in earnings as the difference between the amortized cost and the fair value of the security, per ASC 320-10-35-34. The new fair value becomes the adjusted cost basis, and subsequent recoveries are not recognized in earnings (ASC 320-10-35-35).

 

During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, there were no impairments taken.

 

Investment Activity

 

For the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, the Company received proceeds of $0 and $2,130,116, respectively, from the sale and liquidation of its investment portfolio.

 

Realized losses, including bond premium amortization, were $0 and $34,556 for the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

The Company accounts for accounts receivable in accordance with FASB ASC 310, Receivables. Receivables are recorded at their net realizable value, which represents the amount management expects to collect from outstanding customer balances (ASC 310-10-35-7).

 

The Company extends credit to customers based on an evaluation of their financial condition and other factors. The Company does not require collateral, and interest is not accrued on overdue accounts receivable (ASC 310-10-45-4).

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

Management periodically assesses the collectability of accounts receivable and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts as needed. The allowance is determined based on:

 

●

A review of outstanding accounts,

●

Historical collection experience, and

●

Current economic conditions (ASC 310-10-35-9).

 

Accounts deemed uncollectible are written off against the allowance when determined to be uncollectible (ASC 310-10-35-10).

Applicability of ASC 326 (“CECL”)

 

The Company has assessed the applicability of ASC 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (CECL), which requires an expected credit loss model for financial assets measured at amortized cost. However, ASC 326 primarily applies to financial institutions and entities with long-term financing receivables.

 

Since the Company’s accounts receivable are short-term trade receivables that do not meet the scope requirements of ASC 326-20-15-2, it continues to apply the incurred loss model under ASC 310 for estimating credit losses.

 

The following is a summary of the Company’s accounts receivable at December 31, 2024 and 2023:

 Schedule of Accounts Receivable

		December 31, 2024				December 31, 2023
Accounts receivable		$	1,696,436			$	1,274,112
Less: allowance for doubtful accounts			81,772				81,772
Accounts receivable - net		$	1,614,664			$	1,192,340

 

For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, bad debt was as follows:

 Schedule of Bad Debt

		December 31, 2024				December 31, 2023
Bad debt expense		$	41,836			$	83,564

 

Bad debt expense (recovery) is recorded as a component of general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

 

Inventory

 

The Company accounts for inventory in accordance with FASB ASC 330, Inventory. Inventory consists solely of fuel and is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value (“LCNRV”) using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method, as required by ASC 330-10-35-1.

Inventory Valuation and Reserve Assessment

 

Management assesses the recoverability of inventory each reporting period and establishes reserves for potential inventory write-downs when necessary. The Company evaluates factors such as:

 

●

Market conditions affecting fuel prices,

●

Net realizable value based on estimated selling price, and

●

Inventory turnover trends (ASC 330-10-35-2).

 

For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, the Company did not record any provisions for inventory obsolescence or impairment.

 

At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had inventory of $126,400 and $134,057, respectively.

 

Concentrations

 

The Company evaluates and discloses significant concentrations of risk in accordance with FASB ASC 275-10, Risks and Uncertainties. These risks may arise from customer concentrations, vendor reliance, geographic dependence, or other economic factors that could materially impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

 

A concentration exists when a single customer, supplier, or market accounts for a significant portion (typically greater than 10%) of the Company’s total revenues, accounts receivable, or vendor purchases (ASC 275-10-50-16).

 

Customer and Sales Concentrations

 

The Company’s revenue stream may be dependent on a limited number of key customers. A loss of any significant customer, a decline in demand from such customers, or a deterioration in their financial condition could negatively impact the Company’s future revenues and profitability.

 

Accounts Receivable Concentrations

 

The Company extends credit to customers based on their financial strength, payment history, and other relevant factors. A significant concentration of accounts receivable from a limited number of customers could expose the Company to credit risk and potential collection issues. The Company regularly evaluates the creditworthiness of its customers and may require advance payments, letters of credit, or other credit enhancements to mitigate risks.

Vendor and Supplier Concentrations

 

The Company relies on a limited number of vendors for certain key materials or services. A disruption in supply, changes in pricing, or financial instability of a major supplier could materially impact the Company’s ability to procure necessary materials, leading to increased costs, delays in production, or operational disruptions. The Company continuously assesses vendor relationships and explores alternative suppliers when necessary to mitigate supply chain risks.

Management’s Risk Mitigation Strategies

 

To address these risks, the Company implements the following strategies:

 

●

Diversification of Customer Base – Actively seeking new customers to reduce reliance on a small number of key accounts.

●

Credit Risk Management – Regularly reviewing customer creditworthiness and adjusting credit terms as necessary.

●

Supplier Contingency Planning – Identifying alternative vendors to mitigate the impact of potential supply chain disruptions.

 

The Company continuously monitors these risks and adjusts its business strategies to reduce its exposure to customer, credit, and supplier risks, ensuring financial stability and operational continuity.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost, net of accumulated depreciation, in accordance with ASC 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment.” Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

 

Repairs and maintenance expenditures that do not materially extend the useful life of an asset are expensed as incurred. Significant improvements or upgrades that increase the asset’s productivity, efficiency, or useful life are capitalized.

 

Upon disposal or sale of property and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the statement of operations, in accordance with ASC 360-10-40-5.

 

The Company evaluates the carrying value of property and equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset may be impaired. If impairment indicators exist, the Company assesses recoverability based on the undiscounted future cash flows expected from the use and disposition of the asset. If the carrying amount exceeds the estimated recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognized in accordance with ASC 360-10-35-17.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets including Internal Use Capitalized Software Costs

 

The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets, including identifiable intangible assets and internal-use capitalized software costs, in accordance with FASB ASC 360-10-35-15, Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.

 

An impairment review is triggered when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset group may not be recoverable. Factors considered include, but are not limited to:

 

●

Significant changes in expected performance compared to prior forecasts,

●

Changes in asset utilization, including discontinued or modified use,

●

Negative industry or economic trends that impact asset value, and

●

Strategic shifts in the Company’s business operations (ASC 360-10-35-21).

 

Impairment Assessment Process

 

When impairment indicators exist, the Company performs a recoverability test by comparing the undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated from the use and ultimate disposition of the asset group to its carrying amount (ASC 360-10-35-17).

 

●

If the undiscounted cash flows exceed the carrying amount, no impairment is recognized.

●

If the undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized, measured as the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the asset (ASC 360-10-35-18).

 

Internal-Use Software Considerations

 

For internal-use capitalized software, impairment is assessed under ASC 350-40-35, which requires evaluation when:

 

●

A software project is abandoned or significantly modified,

●

The software is no longer expected to provide substantive economic benefit, or

●

The software is expected to be replaced by newer technology.

Impairment Results

 

For the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $13,422 and $0, respectively, related to various equipment. This impairment loss has been recorded as a component of general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operation.

 

See Note 3 for further discussion of long-lived asset impairments.

 

Derivative Liabilities

 

The Company evaluates financial instruments containing characteristics of both liabilities and equity in accordance with FASB ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, and FASB ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging.

 

Accounting for Derivative Liabilities

 

Derivative liabilities are revalued at fair value at each reporting period, with changes in fair value recognized in the results of operations as a gain or loss on derivative remeasurement (ASC 815-40-35-4). The Company uses a binomial pricing model to determine the fair value of these instruments.

 

Conversion and Extinguishment of Derivative Liabilities

 

When a debt instrument with an embedded conversion option (e.g., convertible debt or warrants) is converted into shares of common stock or repaid, the Company:

 

●

Records the newly issued shares at fair value;

●

Derecognizes all related debt, derivative liabilities, and unamortized debt discounts; and

●

Recognizes a gain or loss on debt extinguishment, if applicable (ASC 470-50-40-2).

 

For equity-based derivative liabilities (e.g., warrants) that are extinguished, any remaining liability balance is reclassified to additional paid-in capital (ASC 815-40-35-9).

 

Reclassification of Equity Instruments to Liabilities

 

Equity instruments initially classified as equity may be reclassified as liabilities if they no longer meet equity classification criteria under ASC 815-40-25. In such cases, they are remeasured at fair value on the date of reclassification, with changes recognized in earnings (ASC 815-40-35-8).

DECEMBER 31, 2024 AND 2023

 

Derivative Liability Balances

 

As of December 31, 2024, and 2023, the Company had no derivative liabilities outstanding.

 

Original Issue Discounts and Other Debt Discounts

 

The Company accounts for original issue discounts (OID) and other debt discounts in accordance with FASB ASC 835-30, Interest—Imputation of Interest. These discounts are recorded as a reduction of the carrying amount of the related debt and are amortized to interest expense over the term of the debt using the effective interest method, unless the straight-line method is materially similar (ASC 835-30-35-2).

 

Original Issue Discounts (OID)

 

For certain notes issued, the Company may provide the debt holder with an original issue discount (OID), which is recorded as a debt discount, reducing the face value of the note. The discount is amortized to interest expense over the term of the debt in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Stock and Other Equity Issued with Debt

 

The Company may issue common stock or other equity instruments in connection with debt issuance. When stock is issued, it is recorded at fair value and treated as a debt discount, reducing the carrying amount of the note. These discounts are amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt (ASC 470-20-25-2).

 

The combined debt discounts, including OID and stock-related discounts, cannot exceed the face amount of the debt (ASU 2020-06).

 

Debt Issuance Costs

 

Debt issuance costs, including fees paid to lenders or third parties, are capitalized as a debt discount and amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt in accordance with ASC 835-30-45-1. These costs are presented as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the debt liability rather than as a separate asset (ASC 835-30-45-3).

 

Right of Use Assets and Lease Obligations

 

The Company accounts for right-of-use (ROU) assets and lease liabilities in accordance with FASB ASC 842, Leases. These amounts reflect the present value of the Company’s estimated future minimum lease payments over the lease term, including any reasonably certain renewal options, discounted using a collateralized incremental borrowing rate (ASC 842-20-30-1).

 

 

NEXTNRG, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

FORMERLY KNOWN AS EZFILL HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2024 AND 2023

 

The Company classifies its leases as either operating or finance leases based on the criteria outlined in ASC 842-10-25-2. The Company’s leases primarily consist of operating leases, which are included as Right-of-Use Assets and Operating Lease Liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.

 

Short-Term Leases

 

The Company has elected the short-term lease exemption allowed under ASC 842-20-25-2, whereby leases with a term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. Instead, lease payments are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

Lease Term and Renewal Options

 

In determining the lease term, the Company evaluates whether renewal options are reasonably certain to be exercised, as required by ASC 842-10-30-1. Factors considered include:

 

●

The useful life of leasehold improvements relative to the lease term,

●

The economic performance of the business at the leased location,

●

The comparative cost of renewal rates versus market rates, and

●

The presence of any significant economic penalties for non-renewal (ASC 842-10-55-26).

 

If a renewal option is deemed reasonably certain to be exercised, the ROU asset and lease liability reflect those additional future lease payments. The Company’s operating leases contain renewal options with no residual value guarantees. Currently, management does not expect to exercise any renewal options, which are therefore excluded in the measurement of lease obligations.

 

Discount Rate and Lease Liability Measurement

 

Since the implicit rate in the leases is not readily determinable, the Company applies an incremental borrowing rate that represents the rate it would incur to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term and currency environment (ASC 842-20-30-3).

 

Lease Impairment

 

In accordance with ASC 360-10-35, the Company evaluates ROU assets for impairment indicators whenever events or changes in circumstances suggest the carrying amount may not be recoverable. No impairments of ROU assets were recognized for the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023.

 

See Note 7 for details on third-party and related-party operating leases.

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with FASB ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as amended by Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09. Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services.

 

The Company generates revenue from mobile fuel sales, which can be purchased as a one-time transaction or through a monthly membership. Revenue from fuel sales is recognized at the time of delivery, and membership revenue is recognized at the end of each month, reflecting the satisfaction of the performance obligation over time within a one-month membership cycle.

 

The Company follows the five-step revenue recognition model outlined in ASC 606-10-05-4:

 

1.Identify the Contract with a Customer

 

A contract exists when the following criteria are met, per ASC 606-10-25-1:

 

	●	The contract creates enforceable rights and obligations between the Company and the customer.
	●	The contract has commercial substance (i.e., it affects the Company’s cash flows).
	●	The payment terms are identified, and the consideration is determinable.
	●	It is probable that the Company will collect the consideration in exchange for the goods or services transferred.

 

Contracts for mobile fuel sales and memberships meet these criteria. Collectability is assessed based on historical customer payment trends and credit risk in accordance with ASC 606-10-25-5.

 

2.Identify the Performance Obligations in the Contract

 

A performance obligation is a distinct good or service promised in the contract that is both capable of being distinct and distinct in the context of the contract, per ASC 606-10-25-19.

 

The Company has determined that its contracts, based on sales type, contain two distinct performance obligations:

 

	●	Fuel Sales – The delivery of fuel to a customer, with revenue recognized at the point of delivery.
	●	Membership Fees – Monthly membership services, with revenue recognized over time within a one-month membership cycle, as the customer benefits from access to services throughout the period.

 

 

NEXTNRG, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

FORMERLY KNOWN AS EZFILL HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2024 AND 2023

 

These performance obligations are not bundled or combined, as each service is separately identifiable, in accordance with ASC 606-10-25-22.

 

3.Determine the Transaction Price

 

The transaction price is the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods or services to the customer, per ASC 606-10-32-2.

 

The Company’s transaction price considerations include:

 

	●	Fixed consideration – Prices are clearly stated and do not vary based on performance.
	●	No variable consideration – The Company does not formally offer refunds, rebates, or pricing incentives. During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, the Company granted insignificant discounts of less than 1% of total revenues.
	●	No financing component – Payments are made upon fuel delivery or at the end of the monthly membership cycle, per ASC 606-10-32-15.

 

4.Allocate the Transaction Price to Performance Obligations

 

For contracts with a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is allocated to that obligation, per ASC 606-10-32-40.

 

If a contract included multiple performance obligations, the transaction price would be allocated based on relative standalone selling prices (“SSP”) as required by ASC 606-10-32-28. The standalone selling price is determined based on observable sales data.

 

The Company’s fuel sales and memberships each have a distinct standalone selling price, eliminating the need for allocation adjustments.

 

5.Recognize Revenue When (or As) Performance Obligations Are Satisfied

 

Revenue is recognized at the point in time when control over a product or service is transferred to the customer, in accordance with ASC 606-10-25-30.

 

	●	Fuel Sales: Control transfers at the time of fuel delivery, at which point revenue is recognized.
	●	Membership Fees: Revenue is recognized over time within a one-month cycle, as customers receive continuous access to fuel delivery services throughout the month.

DECEMBER 31, 2024 AND 2023

 

The Company does not recognize revenue based on customer invoicing dates; instead, it ensures revenue recognition aligns with the actual satisfaction of performance obligations per ASC 606-10-25-31.

 

Principal vs. Agent Considerations

 

In evaluating whether the Company acts as a principal or an agent in its fuel sales transactions, the Company applies the guidance in ASC 606-10-55-36 through 55-40. The Company has determined that it is the principal in these transactions based on the following factors:

 

	●	The Company controls the fuel before it is transferred to the customer.
	●	The Company has discretion in pricing, as it sets the selling price of fuel.
	●	The Company is responsible for fulfilling the obligation of delivering fuel to the customer.
	●	The Company is exposed to inventory risk, as it procures and holds fuel before sale.

 

Based on these factors, the Company recognizes revenue on a gross basis, as it is the principal in fuel sales transactions in accordance with ASC 606-10-55-37A.

 

Summary of Compliance with ASC 606 and ASU Updates

 

Revenue Stream		Performance Obligation		Recognition Timing		Consideration Type
Fuel Sales		Fuel Delivery		At time of delivery		Fixed price per gallon
Membership Fees		Monthly access to fuel services		Over time (one-month cycle)		Fixed monthly subscription

 

Contract Liabilities (Deferred Revenue)

 

Contract liabilities represent amounts received from customers before the satisfaction of performance obligations, which are subsequently recognized as revenue upon fulfillment.

Under ASC 606-10-45-2, the Company discloses contract balances related to deferred revenue when applicable. Any prepayments received for fuel deliveries or memberships are classified as contract liabilities until revenue recognition criteria are met.

 

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had $0 deferred revenue.

Total Sales		$	27,770,279				100.00	%		$	23,216,423				100.00	%

 

Cost of Sales

 

Cost of sales consists of direct expenses incurred in the delivery of the Company’s products and services. These costs primarily include:

 

	●	Fuel Costs – The cost of procuring fuel for resale, including fluctuations in market pricing, supplier agreements, and transportation expenses.
	●	Driver Wages and Benefits – Compensation, payroll taxes, and employee benefits associated with the Company’s delivery personnel.

 

Cost of sales is recognized in the same period as the related revenue in accordance with FASB ASC 705, Cost of Sales and Services. The Company regularly evaluates its cost structure to ensure efficient fuel procurement and operational cost management.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method prescribed by FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences of differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. These amounts are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply in the periods when temporary differences reverse (ASC 740-10-30-8).

 

The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax balances is recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment date (ASC 740-10-45-4).

 

Uncertain Tax Positions

 

The Company evaluates uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740-10-25, which requires that a tax position be recognized in the financial statements only if it is more likely than not (greater than 50% likelihood) to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities.

 

 

NEXTNRG, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

FORMERLY KNOWN AS EZFILL HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2024 AND 2023

 

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, the Company had no uncertain tax positions that qualified for recognition or disclosure in the financial statements (ASC 740-10-50-15).

 

The Company also recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in other expense in the consolidated statement of operations (ASC 740-10-45-25). No interest and penalties were recorded for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Valuation of Deferred Tax Assets

 

The Company’s deferred tax assets include certain future tax benefits, such as net operating losses (NOLs), tax credits, and deductible temporary differences. Under ASC 740-10-30-5, a valuation allowance is required if it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

The Company reviews the realizability of deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis, or more frequently if circumstances warrant, considering both positive and negative evidence (ASC 740-10-30-16).

 

Factors Considered in Valuation Allowance Assessment

 

The Company evaluates multiple factors in determining whether a valuation allowance is necessary, including:

 

	●	Historical earnings trends (cumulative pre-tax income or losses in the most recent three-year period)
	●	Future financial projections, including expected taxable income based on long-term estimates of business performance and market conditions
	●	Statutory carryforward periods for net operating losses and other deferred tax assets
	●	Prudent and feasible tax planning strategies that could impact the realization of deferred tax assets
	●	Nature and predictability of temporary differences and the timing of their reversal
	●	Sensitivity of financial forecasts to external factors such as commodity prices, market demand, and operational risks

 

While cumulative three-year losses are a strong indicator that a valuation allowance may be needed, ASC 740-10-30-23 states that a valuation allowance determination is not solely based on past losses—all available positive and negative evidence must be considered.

 

 

NEXTNRG, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

FORMERLY KNOWN AS EZFILL HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2024 AND 2023

 

Valuation Allowance Determination

 

At December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, the Company recorded a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets, resulting in a net carrying amount of $0. This determination was based on cumulative losses in recent years and the lack of sufficient positive evidence to support the realization of deferred tax assets in the near term (ASC 740-10-30-24).

 

The Company will continue to evaluate its valuation allowance each reporting period and will recognize deferred tax assets in the future if sufficient positive evidence emerges to support their realization.

 

Advertising Costs

 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred, in accordance with ASC 720-35, “Advertising Costs.” These costs are recognized as operating expenses in the period in which they are incurred and are classified within general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

The Company does not capitalize direct-response advertising costs, as they do not meet the criteria for deferral under ASC 720-35-25-1.

 

The Company recognized $164,296 and $136,582 in marketing and advertising costs during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation,” using the fair value-based method. Under this guidance, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized over the requisite service period, typically the vesting period.

 

ASC 718 establishes accounting standards for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. It also applies to transactions where an entity incurs liabilities based on the fair value of its equity instruments or liabilities that may be settled using equity instruments.

 

In compliance with ASU 2018-07, the Company applies the fair value method for equity instruments granted to both employees and non-employees, aligning non-employee share-based payment accounting with that of employees. The fair value of stock-based compensation is determined as of the grant date or the measurement date (i.e., when the performance obligation is completed) and is recognized over the vesting period in accordance with ASC 718.

FORMERLY KNOWN AS EZFILL HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2024 AND 2023

 

The Company determines the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, considering the following key assumptions:

 

	●	Exercise price – The agreed-upon price at which the option can be exercised.
	●	Expected dividends – The anticipated dividend yield over the expected life of the option.
	●	Expected volatility – Based on historical stock price fluctuations.
	●	Risk-free interest rate – Derived from U.S. Treasury securities with similar maturities.
	●	Expected life of the option – Estimated based on historical exercise patterns and contractual terms.

 

Additionally, the Company follows the guidance under ASU 2016-09, which introduced amendments to simplify certain accounting aspects of share-based compensation, including:

 

	●	The treatment of tax benefits and tax deficiencies in income tax reporting.
	●	The option to recognize forfeitures as they occur rather than estimating them upfront.
	●	Cash flow classification for certain tax-related transactions.
		The Company continues to evaluate and apply the latest Accounting Standards Updates (ASUs) and interpretive releases related to stock-based compensation to ensure compliance with evolving financial reporting requirements.

 

Stock Warrants

 

In connection with certain financing transactions (debt or equity), consulting arrangements, or strategic partnerships, the Company may issue warrants to purchase shares of its common stock. These standalone warrants are not puttable or mandatorily redeemable by the holder and are classified as equity instruments in accordance with ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.”

 

The fair value of warrants issued for compensation purposes is measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, consistent with the guidance in ASC 718-10-30. However, if warrants meet the definition of derivative liabilities under ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” fair value is determined using a binomial pricing model or other appropriate valuation techniques, as required by ASC 815-40-15.

 

Accounting Treatment of Warrants

 

	●	Warrants issued in conjunction with common stock issuance are initially recorded at fair value as a reduction in Additional Paid-In Capital (APIC), in accordance with ASC 815-40-25.
	●	Warrants issued for services are recorded at fair value and expensed over the requisite service period or immediately upon issuance if no service period exists, as per ASC 718-10-25.
	●	Warrants classified as liabilities due to settlement features or pricing adjustments are remeasured at fair value each reporting period, with changes recognized in earnings, following ASC 815-40-35.

Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) per Share and Reverse Stock Split

 

The Company computes earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share.” The calculation of basic EPS follows the two-class method and is determined by dividing net earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, including certain other shares committed to be issued.

 

Basic Earnings Per Share (EPS)

 

Basic EPS is calculated using the two-class method, as prescribed by ASC 260-10-45-60, and is computed as follows:

 

	●	Net earnings available to common shareholders represent net earnings to common shareholders, adjusted for the allocation of earnings to participating securities.
	●	Losses are not allocated to participating securities in accordance with ASC 260-10-45-61.
	●	The denominator includes common shares outstanding and certain other shares committed to be issued, such as restricted stock and restricted stock units (“RSUs”), for which no future service is required.

 

Diluted Earnings Per Share (EPS)

 

Diluted EPS is calculated under both the two-class method and the treasury stock method, and the more dilutive result is reported, as required by ASC 260-10-45-45.

 

	●	Diluted EPS is computed by taking the sum of:
			○	Net earnings available to common shareholders
			○	Dividends on preferred shares
			○	Dividends on dilutive mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred shares
			○	Divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and certain other shares committed to be issued, plus all dilutive common stock equivalents during the period, such as:
				■	Stock options
				■	Warrants
				■	Convertible preferred stock
				■	Convertible debt
	●	Preferred shares and unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) qualify as participating securities under the two-class method, per ASC 260-10-45-62.

Net Loss Per Share Considerations

 

In computing net loss per share, unvested shares of common stock are excluded from the denominator, as required by ASC 260-10-45-48.

 

Participating Securities & Share-Based Compensation

 

Restricted stock and RSUs granted as part of share-based compensation contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends and dividend equivalents, respectively. Therefore:

 

	●	Before the requisite service is rendered for the right to retain the award, these instruments meet the definition of a participating security under ASC 260-10-45-59.
	●	RSUs granted under an executive compensation plan, however, are not considered participating securities because the rights to dividend equivalents are forfeitable (ASC 718-10-25).

 

The following potentially dilutive equity securities outstanding as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 were as follows:

 Schedule of Dilutive Equity Securities Outstanding

		December 31, 2024				December 31, 2023
Series A, preferred stock			1,644,022				-
Series B, preferred stock			724,638				-
Series A, preferred stock - dividends			61,204				-
Series B, preferred stock - dividends			32,372				-
Warrants (vested)			46,344				81,452
Total common stock equivalents			2,508,579				81,452

 

Series A and B, preferred shares as well as the related dividends on each class of Series A and B, preferred shares are convertible into common stock. See Note 8.

 

Warrants included as common stock equivalents represent those that are fully vested and exercisable. See Note 8.

 

Based on the potential common stock equivalents noted above at December 31, 2024, the Company has sufficient authorized shares of common stock (500,000,000) to settle any potential exercises of common stock equivalents.

A	See discussion below regarding global amendment for Notes #1, #2 and #3.
B	See discussion below regarding the limitation on the issuance of this lender due to a 9.99% equity ownership blocker.
C	These shares of common stock (425,978) were issued with the underlying original issue discount notes and treated as additional debt discount.

 

Year Ended December 31, 2023

 

Note #1 – Note Payable – Related Party - Material Stockholder greater than 5%

and related Loss on Debt Extinguishment

 

During 2023, the Company originally executed a six-month (6) note payable with a face amount of $1,500,000, less an original issue discount of $150,000, along with an additional $140,000 in transaction related fees (total debt discount and issue costs of $290,000), resulting in net proceeds of $1,210,000. The $290,000 in debt discounts and issuance costs are being amortized over the life of the note to interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

 

In connection with obtaining this debt, the Company also committed 100,000 shares of common stock to the lender as additional interest expense (commitment fee). Under the terms of the agreement, only 40,000 shares of common stock were required to be issued on the commitment date resulting in a fair value of $256,000 ($6.40/share), based upon the quoted closing price. The Company recorded this amount as a debt discount which was being amortized over the life of the note. Total debt discounts recorded aggregated $546,000.

 

See Note 8.

 

In October 2023 (the initial maturity date), the Company executed a loan extension with the lender to extend the due date from October 2023 to April 2024. At this time, the remaining 60,000 shares were issued to the lender.

 

The Company evaluated the modification of terms under ASC 470-50, “Debt - Modification and Extinguishment”, and concluded that the extension of the maturity date resulted in significant and consequential changes to the economic substance of the debt and thus resulted in an extinguishment of the debt.

 

Specifically, on the date of modification, the Company determined that the present value of the cash flows of the modified debt instrument was greater than 10% different from the present value of the remaining cash flows under the original debt instrument.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2024 AND 2023

 

For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded a loss on debt extinguishment of $291,000 as follows:

Schedule of Loss on Debt Extinguishment 

Fair value of debt and common stock on extinguishment date*		$	1,791,000
Fair value of debt subject to modification			1,500,000
Loss on debt extinguishment - related party		$	291,000

 

*

The Company valued the issuance of the 60,000 commitment shares at $291,000, based upon the quoted closing trading price on the date of modification ($4.85/share).

 

Pursuant to the January 17, 2024 global amendment, effective for all previously issued notes with this lender, in the event of default, the lender may convert the note into shares of common stock equal to the greater of $3.08 and the lower of the average VWAP over the ten (10) preceding trading days; or the greater of the average of the VWAP over the ten (10) preceding trading days or a floor price of $1.75. Additionally, if the Company raises $10,000,000 or more, then Note #3 will be repaid. If the Company raises $15,000,000 or more, then both Notes #2 and #3 will be repaid.

 

The Company has determined that in the event of default, the note at that time may be treated as a derivative liability subject to financial reporting at fair value and related mark to market adjustments in subsequent reporting periods.

 

This note is subject to cross-default. In the event this note or any other notes issued by this lender are in default (Notes #1, #2 and #3), all of the notes with this lender will be considered in default.

 

See May 9, 2024 loan date extension below.

 

This lender is considered a related party since it has a greater than 5% controlling interest in the Company’s outstanding common stock.

 

See discussion regarding debt conversion below on August 16, 2024.

 

Note #2 – Note Payable – Related Party - Material Stockholder greater than 5%

 

During 2023, the Company executed a six-month (6) note payable with a face amount of $600,000, less an original issue discount of $60,000, along with an additional $28,900 in transaction related fees (total debt discount and issue costs in cash of $88,900), resulting in net proceeds of $511,100.

In connection with obtaining this note, the Company also issued 60,000 shares of common stock to the lender having a fair value of $406,500, based upon the quoted closing trading price ($6.78/share).

 

The issuance of these shares resulted in an additional debt issue cost. In total, the Company recorded debt discounts/issuance costs of $495,400 which is being amortized over the life of the note to interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

 

See Note 8.

 

While the note was initially due in March 2024, the Company had the right to extend the note by an additional six-months (6) to September 2024. The note was not formally extended on its maturity date, however, the lender has not given notice on default.

 

Pursuant to the January 17, 2024 global amendment, effective for all previously issued notes with this lender, in the event of default, the lender may convert the note into shares of common stock equal to the greater of $3.08 and the lower of the average VWAP over the ten (10) preceding trading days; or the greater of the average of the VWAP over the ten (10) preceding trading days or a floor price of $1.75. Additionally, if the Company raises $10,000,000 or more, then Note #3 will be repaid. If the Company raises $15,000,000 or more, then both Notes #2 and #3 will be repaid.

 

The Company has determined that in the event of default, the note at that time may be treated as a derivative liability subject to financial reporting at fair value and related mark to market adjustments in subsequent reporting periods.

 

This note is subject to cross-default. In the event this note or any other notes issued by this lender are in default (Notes #1, #2 and #3), all of the notes with this lender will be considered in default.

Note #3 – Note Payable – Related Party - Material Stockholder greater than 5%

 

In October 2023, the Company executed a three-month (3) note payable with a face amount of $320,000, less an original issue discount of $48,000, resulting in net proceeds of $272,000.

 

In connection with obtaining this note, the Company was required to issue 104,000 shares of common stock to the lender having a fair value of $539,760, based upon the quoted closing trading price ($5.19/share). However, the issuance of these shares would result in the lender having a greater than 9.99% ownership of the Company, which is prohibited by agreement. These shares are classified as common stock issuable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

 

The future issuance of these shares resulted in an additional debt issue cost. In total, the Company recorded debt discounts/issuance costs of $320,000 which is being amortized over the life of the note to interest expense. The aggregate discounts calculated above exceeded the face amount of the note and therefore were limited to the face amount of the note totaling $320,000.

 

Pursuant to the January 17, 2024 global amendment, effective for all previously issued notes with this lender, in the event of default, the lender may convert the note into shares of common stock equal to the greater of $3.08 and the lower of the average VWAP over the ten (10) preceding trading days; or the greater of the average of the VWAP over the ten (10) preceding trading days or a floor price of $1.75. Additionally, if the Company raises $10,000,000 or more, then Note #3 will be repaid. If the Company raises $15,000,000 or more, then both Notes #2 and #3 will be repaid.

 

The Company has determined that in the event of default, the note at that time may be treated as a derivative liability subject to financial reporting at fair value and related mark to market adjustments in subsequent reporting periods.

 

This note is subject to cross-default. In the event this note or any other notes issued by this lender are in default (Notes #1, #2 and #3), all of the notes with this lender will be considered in default.

The Company has entered into multiple short-term notes payable agreements (one year or less) with a related party controlled by Michael Farkas, a greater than 20% stockholder.

 

Year Ended December 31, 2024

 

New Issuances

 

During 2024, the Company executed several two-month notes payable with an aggregate face amount of $5,711,500, issued at a discount of $466,500, resulting in net proceeds of $5,245,000.

 

As part of securing these notes, the Company issued 425,978 shares of common stock to the lender, valued at $2,020,387, based on the quoted closing trading price ($2.81 - $7.10 per share).

 

In total, the Company recorded debt discounts and issuance costs of $2,486,887, which are amortized over the life of the notes as interest expense.

 

Debt Conversion and Maturity Details

 

	●	Converted Notes: Notes totaling $3,630,000 were originally due two months from their issuance date but were subject to automatic two-month renewals if unpaid or unconverted. These notes were never in default and were subsequently converted into common stock on August 16, 2024.
	●	Outstanding Notes: As of December 31, 2024, the remaining notes totaled $2,081,500 and mature one year from their issuance date. These notes bear interest at 8%.

 

Interest and Default Provisions for Converted Notes

 

Prior to conversion, these notes ($3,630,000) bore interest at 8% for the first nine months, then 18% per month thereafter if still outstanding.

 

The lender was required to issue a written notice of default in the event of non-compliance. If a default had occurred, the following provisions would have applied:

 

	1.	Penalty Interest & Acceleration: All outstanding principal and accrued interest would be multiplied by 150% and become immediately due.
	2.	Early Repayment Trigger: If the Company had raised $3,000,000 (debt or equity) before conversion, the entire outstanding balance would have become immediately due.

3.

Conversion Rights Upon Default: The lender had the right to convert any or all of the outstanding principal and accrued interest into common stock at the greater of:

 

	○	The 10-day VWAP closing price preceding the conversion date.
	○	$1.75 per share (the floor price).

 

Assessment of Derivative Liability Under ASC 815

 

The Company assessed whether derivative accounting was required for these conversion features. In connection with the August 16, 2024 debt conversion the Company evaluated whether any of the debt conversion features required derivative liability accounting under ASC 815-40, “Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity.”

 

●

The lender had the right to convert debt into common stock at the greater of:

 

	1.	The 10-day VWAP closing price preceding the conversion date.
	2.	A floor price of $1.75 per share.

 

	●	At the conversion date, the Company’s stock price was $2.76 per share, which was above the $1.75 floor price.
	●	Since the conversion occurred outside an event of default, and the lender was required to convert at the higher market price ($2.76), not the floor price ($1.75), the conversion feature did not meet the criteria for liability classification under ASC 815-40-25.
	●	The Company concluded that the conversion feature was indexed to its own stock, did not expose the Company to variable pricing risk, and did not contain features requiring derivative liability classification.

 

Accordingly, no derivative liability was recorded in connection with these debt conversions.

 

Summary - Fair Value Accounting for Debt Conversions – Related Parties – Notes #1 - #39

 

The Company evaluated the fair value accounting treatment for the August 16, 2024, debt conversion in accordance with ASC 470-50, “Debt – Modification and Extinguishment”, and ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”.

 

Upon conversion, the outstanding principal and accrued interest of the notes payable (#4 - #39) were exchanged for 3,525,341 shares of common stock, with a fair value of $2.76 per share. Since the fair value of the equity closely approximated the carrying amount of the converted debt ($9,796,696), no gain or loss on debt extinguishment was recognized.

Year Ended December 31, 2023

 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company executed several two-month (2) notes payable with an aggregate face amount of $2,585,000, less original issue discounts of $235,000, resulting in net proceeds of $2,350,000.

 

These notes are initially due two-months (2) from their issuance dates. If the notes reach maturity and are still outstanding, the notes and related accrued interest will automatically renew for successive two-month (2) periods.

 

These notes bear interest at 8% for the 1st nine-months (9), then 18% each month thereafter.

 

The lender is required to issue in writing any event of default. If an event of default occurs, all outstanding principal and accrued interest will be multiplied by 150% and become immediately due. Additionally, if the Company raises $3,000,000 (debt or equity based), the entire outstanding principal and accrued interest are immediately due.

 

Finally, in an event of default, the lender has the right to convert any or all of the outstanding principal and accrued interest into common stock equal to the greater of the average VWAP closing price over the ten (10) trading days ending on the date of conversion or $1.75 (the floor price). In the event such a conversion were to occur, which can only happen by default, the Company would evaluate the potential for recording derivative liabilities.

 

At December 31, 2023, the Company was not in default on any of these notes and believed it was in compliance with all terms and conditions of the notes.

Line of Credit

 

Year Ended December 31, 2023

 

In 2021, the Company entered into a Securities-Based Line of Credit, Promissory Note, Security, Pledge and Guaranty Agreement (the “Line of Credit”) with City National Bank of Florida.

 

The line of credit had an outstanding balance of $1,000,000 at December 31, 2022 and was repaid in 2023 for $1,008,813 (principal of $1,000,000 plus accrued interest of $8,813).

 

To secure the repayment of the Credit Limit, the Bank had a first priority lien and continuing security interest in the securities held in the Company’s investment portfolio with the Bank. The Company liquidated its entire position in the investment portfolio in 2023.

 

In connection with the repayment of the line of credit, no further advances had been made and the bank closed the line of credit.

 

Note 6 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company evaluates its financial assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements on a recurring basis to determine the appropriate level in which to classify them for each reporting period. This determination requires significant judgments to be made.

 

 

NEXTNRG, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

FORMERLY KNOWN AS EZFILL HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2024 AND 2023

 

The Company did not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Note 7 – Commitments and Contingencies

 

Operating Leases

 

The Company accounts for leases in accordance with ASC 842: Leases, which requires lessees to apply the right-of-use (ROU) model by recognizing a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with terms exceeding 12 months. Lease classification determines the pattern of expense recognition in the consolidated statement of operations:

 

	●	Operating leases: Recognized on a straight-line basis as lease expense over the lease term.
	●	Finance leases: Recognized with amortization of the ROU asset and interest expense on the lease liability.

 

Lessors classify leases as sales-type, direct financing, or operating leases based on whether they transfer risks, rewards, and control of the asset (ASC 842-10-25-2):

 

	●	If all risks, rewards, and control transfer, the lease is treated as a sale (sales-type lease).
	●	If risks and rewards transfer but control does not, the lease is classified as financing.
	●	If neither risks, rewards, nor control transfer, it is classified as an operating lease.

 

Lease Recognition and Measurement

 

The Company evaluates whether an arrangement contains a lease at inception and recognizes the lease in the financial statements upon lease commencement (the date the underlying asset is available for use). ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an asset over the lease term, while lease liabilities reflect the present value of future lease payments.

 

At lease commencement:

 

	●	ROU assets and lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of lease payments.
	●	The Company primarily uses its incremental borrowing rate (IBR) to determine the present value of lease payments, except when an implicit rate is readily determinable (ASC 842-20-30-3).
	●	The IBR is based on market data, adjusted for credit risk and lease term.

Practical Expedients and Lease Components

 

The Company applies certain practical expedients to simplify lease accounting:

 

	●	Lease and non-lease components are combined for classification and measurement, except for direct sales-type leases and production equipment embedded in supply agreements (ASC 842-10-15-37).
	●	Short-term leases (12 months or less, without purchase or renewal options) are not recorded on the balance sheet (ASC 842-20-25-2).

 

Lease Term and Expense Recognition

 

	●	Lease liabilities include options to extend or terminate when reasonably certain of exercise (ASC 842-10-55-26).
	●	Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and reported under general and administrative expenses.
	●	Variable lease payments based on an index/rate are initially measured using the rate at lease commencement, with differences expensed as incurred (ASC 842-10-30-5).

 

Company Lease Commitments

 

As of December 31, 2024, and 2023, the Company had no finance leases under ASC 842.

 

On December 3, 2021, the Company entered into a lease agreement for 5,778 square feet of office space, commencing January 1, 2022.

 

	●	Lease term: 39 months
	●	Total monthly payment: $21,773 (including base rent, estimated operating expenses, and sales tax)
	●	Base rent: $14,743 (subject to a 3% annual increase); abated in months 1, 13, and 25
	●	Initial ROU asset recognized: $735,197 (non-cash asset addition)

In these transactions, the entity receiving net assets or exchanging shares is required to measure the assets and liabilities at their carrying amounts as recorded in the transferring entity’s separate financial statements (which reflect the historical cost basis established by the ultimate parent). Essentially, this guidance results in an accounting treatment similar to the pooling-of-interests method.

 

 

3. Retrospective Application to Financial Statements

 

The historical financial statements are adjusted as if the merger had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented. By doing so, all periods in the financial statements are made comparable, reflecting the merger’s effects consistently.

 

4. Equity Adjustments

 

Adjustments to Additional Paid-In Capital (APIC) and retained earnings are made to reconcile historical balances. Historical retained earnings (deficit) are combined and consolidated.

 

5. Earnings per Share

 

	●	The 100,000,000 shares of common stock issued are treated as outstanding for all historical periods.
	●	Retroactive adjustments are required when a change in the capital structure occurs through a stock dividend, stock split, or reverse split. Common control transactions are typically accounted for on a carryover basis, the historical EPS is not retroactively adjusted for such stock issuances unless the transaction’s structure meets the criteria for a capital structure change (i.e. a stock dividend or split).
	●	The merger’s retrospective application necessitates recalculating EPS for all periods presented. This ensures comparability by applying historical carrying values to both entities.
	●	Only vested shares are included in diluted EPS.

 

6. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

 

In a common control merger, the Company will not recognize goodwill or intangible assets.

 

7. Segment Reporting

 

The Company will assess its business operations and determine the requisite segments to recognized. All current and historical periods will be adjusted to reflect these allocations. The Company expects to presents its consolidated financial statements with segments for mobile fueling services, energy infrastructure services, and technology solutions.

 

The related accounting and financial reporting for this transaction will first be reflected in the Company’s future March 31, 2025 filing on Form 10-Q.

 

Chief Executive Officer Transition

 

At the time of closing, the Company accepted the resignation of Yehuda Levy as Interim Chief Executive Officer. The Board of Directors subsequently appointed Michael D. Farkas as Chief Executive Officer, Director, and Executive Chairman. Mr. Farkas, previously the Managing Member and CEO of NextNRG, is also the significant controlling stockholder of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock.

 

Chief Financial Officer Transition

 

At the time of closing, the Company accepted the resignation of Michael Handleman as Chief Financial Officer and appointed Joel Kleiner as his successor.

 

Further details regarding these officer transitions are available in the Form 8-K filed on February 18, 2025.

 

 

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

 

None.

  

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this annual report, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

 

As of December 31, 2024, we conducted an evaluation, under supervision and with the participation of management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 of the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of December 31, 2024.  

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined under Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 14d-14(f). Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

 

All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can only provide reasonable assurance with respect to financial reporting reliability and financial statement preparation and presentation. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to risk that controls become inadequate because of changes in conditions and that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

 

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024. In making the assessment, management used the criteria issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO – 2013) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on its assessment, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2024, our Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective.  

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.  

 

Item 9B. Other Information

 

(a) None.

 

(b) During the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2024, none of our officers or directors informed us of the adoption, modification or termination of a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement,” as those terms are defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K.  

 

Item 9C. Disclosure Regarding Foreign Jurisdictions that Prevent Inspections.

 

Not applicable.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

 

To our knowledge, during the last ten years, none of our directors or executive officers (including those of our subsidiaries) have:

 

	●	had a bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time;
	●	been convicted in a criminal proceeding or been subject to a pending criminal proceeding, excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses;

Director Independence

 

Jack Leibler, Bennet Kurtz, and Sean Oppen are each “independent” within the meaning of Nasdaq Rule 5605(b)(1).

 

The definition of “independent director” included in the Stock Market Rules includes a series of objective tests, such as that the director is not an employee of the Company, has not engaged in various types of specified business dealings with the Company, and does not have an affiliation with an organization that has had specified business dealings with the Company. Consistent with the Company’s corporate governance principles, the Board’s determination of independence is made in accordance with the Stock Market Rules, as the Board has not adopted supplemental independence standards. As required by the Stock Market Rules, the Board also has made a subjective determination with respect to each director that such director has no material relationship with the Company (either directly or as a partner, stockholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with the Company), even if the director otherwise satisfies the objective independence tests included in the definition of an “independent director” included in the Stock Market Rules.

 

To facilitate this determination, annually each director completes a questionnaire that provides information about relationships that might affect the determination of independence. Management provides the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee and our Board with relevant facts and circumstances of any relationship bearing on the independence of a director or nominee that is outside the categories permitted under the director independence guidelines.

 

 

Board Leadership Structure

 

Our Board believes it is important to retain flexibility in allocating the responsibilities of the CEO and Chairman of the Board in any way that is in the best interests of our Company based on the circumstances existing at a particular point in time. Accordingly, we do not have a strict policy on whether these roles should be served independently or jointly. Currently, we do not have anyone service as Chairman of the Board. Mr. Levy currently serves as our Interim CEO.

 

We do not have a separate Lead Independent Director.

 

The Board’s Role in Risk Oversight

 

The Board as a whole actively oversees management of the Company’s risks and looks to its audit committee, as well as senior management, to support the Board’s oversight role. The Company’s Audit Committee assists with oversight of financial risks. The full Board regularly receives information through committee reports and from members of senior management on areas of material risk to the Company, including operational, financial, legal and regulatory, technical and strategic risks.

 

Meetings and Committees of the Board of Directors

 

Our business, property and affairs are managed under the direction of our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors provides management oversight, helps guide the Company on strategic planning and approves the Company’s operating budgets. Our independent directors meet regularly in executive sessions. Members of our Board are kept informed of our business through discussions with our Chief Executive Officer and other officers and employees, by reviewing materials provided to them, by visiting our offices and by participating in meetings of the Board and its committees.

 

Our Board holds regularly scheduled quarterly meetings. In addition to the quarterly meetings, typically there is at least one other regularly scheduled meeting and other communication each year.

 

Board Committees

 

Our Board has established an Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee.

 

Each of the above-referenced committees operates pursuant to a formal written charter. The charters for these committees, which have been adopted by our Board, contain a detailed description of the respective committee’s duties and responsibilities and are available on our website at https://nextnrg.com/ under the “Investors – Governance” tab.

 

Below is a description of each committee of the Board of Directors. Each of the committees has authority to engage legal counsel or other experts or consultants as it deems appropriate to carry out its responsibilities. The Board of Directors has determined that each member of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee meet the independence requirements under the NASDAQ’s current listing standards and each member is free of any relationship that would interfere with his individual exercise of independent judgment.

 

 

The Audit Committee

 

The Audit Committee assists the Board of Directors in its oversight of the integrity of the Company’s accounting, auditing, and reporting practices. The Audit Committee’s responsibilities include: (1) to select and retain the Company’s independent auditors, (2) to approve all audit, and permitted non-audit and tax services that may be provided by the independent auditors, and establish policies and procedures for pre-approval of permitted services by the Company’s independent auditors or other registered public accounting firms on an on-going basis (3) to review and discuss with the Company’s independent auditors and management the Company’s annual audited financial statements (including the related notes), (4) to recommend to the Board that the audited financial statements and the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section be included in the Company’s Form 10-K and whether the Form 10-K should be filed with the SEC; and to produce the audit committee report required to be included in the Company’s proxy statement, (5) to review and discuss with the Company’s independent auditors and management the Company’s quarterly financial statements and the disclosure under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section to be included in the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q before the Form 10-Q is filed; and to review and discuss the Form 10-Q for filing with the SEC, (6) to review and discuss with management and the Company’s independent auditors, the Company’s earnings press releases, and (7) to establish and oversee the Company’s anonymous complaint policy contained within the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics regarding the confidential, anonymous submission by employees of reports regarding questionable accounting practices, internal accounting controls or auditing matters and the investigation, disposition and retention of such reports.

 

The Audit Committee is comprised of three directors appointed by the Board of Directors. Each of the committee members who are currently serving, Messrs. Leibler, Kurtz, and Oppen, satisfy the independence and financial management expertise requirements of NASDAQ’s Audit Committee Policy.

 

The Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Kurtz is an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of Section 407 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K. For a description of Mr. Kurtz’s relevant experience, please see his biographical information above.

 

 

The Compensation Committee

 

Our Board formed a Compensation Committee comprised of members who are “Non-Employee Directors” within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and “outside directors” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code. They are also “independent” directors within the meaning of Nasdaq Rule 5605(b)(1). The Compensation Committee’s responsibilities include: (1) to review and approve all corporate goals and objectives applicable to the compensation of the CEO, evaluate annually the CEO’s performance in light of those goals and determine and approve the CEO’s compensation level based on its evaluation, (2) to review and approve compensation of all other executive officers, (3) to review, approve incentive compensation and equity based plans and administer the Company’s incentive compensation and equity based plans, (4) to review and discuss with management the Company’s compensation discussion and analysis and recommend inclusion in the Company’s annual report and proxy statement, (5) to review and approve any employment agreements, severance agreements or plans for the CEO and other executive officers, (6) to determine stock ownership guidelines for the CEO or other executive officers and monitor compliance with such guidelines, (7) to review and recommend to the Board for approval the frequency with which the Company will conduct Say-on-Pay Votes and review and approve the proposals regarding the Say-on-Pay Vote and the frequency of the Say-on-Pay Vote to be included in the Company’s proxy statement, and (8) to review all director compensation and benefits.

 

Mr. Oppen serves as Chairman of the Compensation Committee and is joined by Messrs. Leibler and Kurtz.

 

Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee

 

Our Board formed a Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee. The committee is required to be comprised of entirely “independent” directors within the meaning of Nasdaq Rule 5605(b)(1). The responsibilities of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee include: (1) to determine the qualifications, skills and other expertise required to be a director of the Company and recommend to the Board for approval, a set of criteria to be considered in selecting nominees for directors (2) to identify and recommend candidates for nomination as members of the Board of Directors and its committees, (3) to develop and recommend to the Board a set of corporate governance guidelines, (4) to develop and recommend to the Board for approval a set of corporate governance guidelines applicable to the Company and to review these principals annually, (5) to oversee the Company’s corporate governance practices and procedures, (6) to develop a process for annual evaluations of the Board and its committees, (7) to review the Board’s committee structure and composition, (8) to identify, and make recommendations regarding the selection of candidates to fill any vacancy on the Board, (9) to develop and recommend to the Board for approval standards for determining whether a director has a relationship with the Company that would impair its independence, (10) to review and discuss with management disclosure of the Company’s corporate governance practices, including information regarding the operations of the Committee and other Board committees, director independence and the director nominations process, (11) to monitor compliance with the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, and (12) to develop and recommend to the Board for approval a CEO succession plan.

 

 

Mr. Leibler currently serves as the Chairman of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee and is joined on the committee by Messrs. Oppen and Kurtz.

 

The Chair and members of each committee of the Board are summarized in the table below:

 

Name		Audit Committee		Compensation Committee		Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee
Bennett Kurtz – (Independent)		Chair		Member		Member
Jack Leibler – (Independent)		Member		Chair		Member
Sean Oppen – (Independent)		Member		Member		Chair

 

Consideration of Director Nominees

 

We seek directors with the highest standards of ethics and integrity, sound business judgment, and the willingness to make a strong commitment to the Company and its success. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee works with the Board on an annual basis to determine the appropriate and desirable mix of characteristics, skills, expertise, and experience for the full Board and each committee, taking into account both existing directors and all nominees for election as directors, as well as any diversity considerations and the membership criteria applied by the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee and the Board, which do not have a formal diversity policy, consider diversity in a broad sense when evaluating board composition and nominations; and they seek to include directors with a diversity of experience, professions, viewpoints, skills, and backgrounds that will enable them to make significant contributions to the Board and the Company, both as individuals and as part of a group of directors. The Board evaluates each individual in the context of the full Board, with the objective of recommending a group that can best contribute to the success of the business and represent stockholder interests through the exercise of sound judgment. In determining whether to recommend a director for re-election, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee also considers the director’s attendance at meetings and participation in and contributions to the activities of the Board and its committees.

 

The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee will consider director candidates recommended by stockholders, and its process for considering such recommendations is no different than its process for screening and evaluating candidates suggested by directors, management of the Company, or third parties.

 

 

When considering director candidates, the Nominating and Governance Committee will evaluate multiple factors in assessing their qualification. A candidate must have extensive and relevant leadership experience including an understanding of the complex challenges of enterprise leadership. An appropriate candidate will have gained appropriate experience and education in some or all of the key areas below.

 

	●	Relevant Sector Experience. Director candidates will have gained their leadership experience in sectors directly relevant to the Company’s business and/or served as the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer or other major operating or staff officer of a public corporation, with a background in marketing, finance and/or business operations.
	●	Operating in a Regulated Industry – Director candidates will have experience working in a highly regulated industry, such as pharmaceutical, medical device or health care.
	●	Corporate Governance Experience. Director candidates should have sufficient applicable experience to understand fully the legal and other responsibilities of an independent director of a U.S.-based public company.
	●	Education. Generally, it is desirable that a Board candidate should hold an undergraduate degree from a respected college or university and in relevant fields of study.

 

When further considering director candidates, personal attributes and characteristics will be considered. Specifically, these should include the following:

 

	●	Personal. Director candidates should be of the highest moral and ethical character. Candidates must exhibit independence, objectivity and be capable of serving as representatives of the stockholders. The candidates should have demonstrated a personal commitment to areas aligned with the Company’s public interest commitments, such as education, the environment and welfare of the communities in which we operate.
	●	Individual Characteristics. Director candidates should have the personal qualities to be able to make a substantial active contribution to Board deliberations. These qualities include intelligence, self-assuredness, a high ethical standard, inter-personal skills, independence, courage, a willingness to ask the difficult question, communication skills and commitment. In considering candidates for election to the Board of Directors, the Board should constantly be striving to achieve the diversity of the communities in which the Company operates.
	●	Availability. Director candidates must be willing to commit, as well as have, sufficient time available to discharge the duties of Board membership. Generally, therefore, the candidate should not have more than three other corporate board memberships.
	●	Compatibility. The Board candidate should be able to develop a good working relationship with other Board members and contribute to the Board’s working relationship with the senior management of the Company.

 

 

Implications of Being a Controlled Company

 

The Company is currently a “controlled company” within the meaning of the applicable rules of Nasdaq. Michael D. Farkas, the Chief Executive Officer of NextNRG, is the holder (through NextNRG) and the beneficial owner of approximately 65.1% of the Company’s common stock and therefore controls a majority of the voting power of the Company’s outstanding common stock and accordingly, he has the ability to determine all matters requiring approval by stockholders. After the closing of this offering and the closing of the acquisition of NextNRG, Mr. Farkas will control approximately 75.2% of the voting power of our outstanding common stock, and, therefore will control a majority of the voting power of the Company’s outstanding common stock and accordingly, he will have the ability to determine all matters requiring approval by stockholders. Additionally, at the closing of the acquisition of NextNRG, the Company has agreed to appoint Mr. Farkas to the board of directors as Executive Chairman and to appoint him as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Accordingly, after the closing of this offering and the closing of the acquisition of NextNRG, we will continue to be a “controlled company” within the meaning of the applicable rules of Nasdaq and, as a result, we qualify for exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements. If the Company relies on these exemptions, which it does not intend to do, its stockholders will not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to such requirements. Under these rules, a company of which more than 50% of the voting power for the election of directors is held by an individual, group or another company is a “controlled company” and may elect not to comply with certain corporate governance requirements, including the requirements:

 

	●	that a majority of the board consists of independent directors;
	●	for an annual performance evaluation of the nominating and corporate governance and compensation committees;
	●	that the controlled company has a nominating and corporate governance committee that is composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities; and
	●	that the controlled company has a compensation committee that is composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibility.

 

While the Company does not intend to rely on these exemptions, the Company may use these exemptions now or in the future. As a result, the Company’s stockholders may not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all of the Nasdaq corporate governance requirements.

 

Code of Conduct

 

The Company has adopted a Code of Conduct, which is available on our website at https://ir.ezfl.com/governance-documents/.

 

Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports

 

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities, to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of our common stock and other equity securities. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

 

 

To the Company’s knowledge, based solely upon review of the copies of such reports filed with the SEC and written representations that no other reports were required, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to the Company’s officers, directors and holders of more than 10% of the Company’s common stock were satisfied

 

Item 11. Executive Compensation 

 

Executive Compensation Objectives and Practices

 

We designed our executive officer compensation program to attract, motivate and retain key executives who drive our success. We strive to have pay reflect our performance and align with the interests of long-term stockholders, which we achieve with compensation that:

 

●	Provides executives with competitive compensation that maintains a balance between cash and stock compensation, encouraging our executive officers to act as owners with an equity stake in our company;
●	Ties a significant portion of total compensation to achievement of the Company’s business goals such as revenue, and Adjusted EBITDA targets;
●	Enhances retention by having equity compensation subject to multi-year vesting; and
●	Does not encourage unnecessary and excessive risk taking.

 

We evaluate both performance and compensation to ensure the Company maintains its ability to attract and retain superior employees in key positions and compensation provided to key employees remains competitive relative to the compensation paid to similarly situated executives of other companies our size.

 

Elements of Executive Compensation

 

Our compensation for senior executive officers generally consists of the following elements: base salary; performance-based incentive compensation determined primarily by reference to objective financial operating criteria; long-term equity compensation in the form of stock options and restricted stock; and employee benefits that are generally available to all our employees.

 

Base Salary

 

The Company provides named executive officers and other employees with base salary to compensate them for services rendered during the fiscal year. It is our policy to set base salary levels taking into account a number of factors, such as annual revenue, the nature of the mobile fueling business, the structure of other comparable companies’ compensation programs and the availability of compensation information. When setting base salary levels, in a manner consistent with the objectives outlined above, the Board considers our performance, the individual’s breadth of knowledge and performance and levels of responsibility. In determining salaries, we did not engage compensation consultants.

 

 

Annual Performance-Based Incentive Compensation

 

Our performance-based incentive compensation program is designed to compensate executives when financial performance goals are achieved. Executives have the opportunity to earn annual cash compensation equal to a percentage of their base salary.

 

Long-Term Incentive Compensation – Equity Compensation

 

Our executive officers are eligible for stock awards. We believe that stock awards give executives a significant, long-term interest in our success, help retain key executives in a competitive market, and align executive interests with stockholder interests and long-term performance of the Company. We have granted options as well as restricted stock under our 2022 plan and 2020 Stock Incentive Plan. Stock awards also provide each individual with an added incentive to manage the Company from the perspective of an owner with an equity stake in the business. Moreover, the vesting schedule (which is generally three years for employees and one year for non-employee directors, although this may vary at the discretion of the Compensation Committee) encourages a long-term commitment to the Company by our executive officers and other participants. Each year the Compensation Committee reviews the number of shares owned by, or subject to options held by, each executive officer, and additional awards are considered based upon the executive’s past performance, as well as anticipated future performance, of the executive officer. The Compensation Committee continues to believe that equity compensation should be an important element of the Company’s compensation package.

 

Typically, we have awarded stock options and restricted stock to executives upon joining the Company and thereafter grants may be at the discretion of the Board, a role that will be assumed by our compensation committee on a going forward basis. Generally, options are priced at the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of each grant, or, in the case of new employees, on such later date as the employee joins the Company. We also have granted restricted stock to members of the Board of Directors and executive officers from time to time.

 

We do not have a formal written policy relating to the timing of equity awards. We encourage, but we do not require, that our executive officers own stock in the Company.

(formerly Next Charging LLC (“NextNRG”)) and Michael Farkas, as the representative of the NextNRG Shareholders, entered into an exchange agreement, on November 2, 2023, the Company, the NextNRG Shareholders, NextNRG, and Mr. Farkas entered into an amended and restated exchange agreement, and on June 11, 2024, the Company, the NextNRG Shareholders, NextNRG and Mr. Farkas entered into a second amended and restated exchange agreement (as amended and restated, the “Exchange Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire from the NextNRG Shareholders 100% of the shares of NextNRG (the “NextNRG Shares”) in exchange for the issuance (the “Share Exchange”) by the Company to the NextNRG Shareholders of an aggregate of 40,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company. The Exchange Agreement provides that in the event NextNRG completes the acquisition of STAT-EI, Inc. (“SEI” or “STAT”), prior to the closing, then 28,000,000 shares will vest on the closing date, and the remaining 12,000,000 shares will be subject to vesting or forfeiture and in the event NextNRG did not complete such acquisition prior to the closing, then 14,000,000 shares would vest on the closing date, and the remaining 26,000,000 shares would be subject to vesting or forfeiture (such shares subject to vesting or forfeiture, the “Restricted Shares”).

 

NextNRG completed the acquisition of SEI on January 19, 2024.

 

As an additional condition to be satisfied prior to the closing, NextNRG is also required to take actions to record the assignment to itself of a patent mentioned in the Exchange Agreement.

 

On July 22, 2024, the Company and the Shareholders’ Representative entered into the first amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement (“First Amendment Agreement”) to add a new section 2.10 to the Second Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement. The new section 2.10 provides that, in the event that the Company at any time prior to the Closing undertakes any forward split of the common stock, or any reverse split of the common stock, any references to numbers of shares of common stock as set forth in the Second Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement shall be deemed automatically updated and amended at such time to equitably account therefor. Further, in the event the Company undertakes any forward split of the common stock or any reverse split of the common stock following the Closing, any references to any of numbers of Exchange Shares as set forth in the Second Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement shall be deemed similarly automatically adjusted to the extent still applicable, including, without limitation to the numbers of Exchange Shares vesting or being forfeited pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Second Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement.

 

 

On September 25, 2024, the Company and the Shareholders’ Representative entered into the second amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement (“Second Amendment Agreement”) to change the number of the Company’s common stock shares to be issued to the NextNRG Shareholders by the Company in exchange for 100% of the shares of NextNRG to 100,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

The Second Amendment Agreement also provides that in the event NextNRG completes the acquisition of STAT-EI, Inc. (“SEI” or “STAT”), prior to the closing, then 50,000,000 shares will vest on the closing date, and the remaining 50,000,000 shares will be subject to vesting or forfeiture (such shares subject to vesting or forfeiture, the “Restricted Shares”). As noted above, NextNRG completed the acquisition of SEI on January 19, 2024, and thus 50,000,000 will vest on the closing date, and 50,000,000 Restricted Shares will be subject to vesting or forfeiture. 25,000,000 of the 50,000,000 Restricted Shares will vest, if at all, upon the Company commercially deploying the third solar, wireless electric vehicle charging, microgrid, and/or battery storage system (such systems as more specifically defined under the Exchange Agreement) and 25,000,000 of the 50,000,000 Restricted Shares will vest, if at all, upon the Company either reaching annual revenues exceeding $100 million, the Company completing projects with deployment costs greater than $100 million, or the Company completing a capital raise greater than $25 million.

 

The Second Amendment Agreement also provides that prior to the Closing, NextNRG may issue additional shares of NextNRG Stock to one or more additional persons and, in such event, such persons will execute a joinder to the Exchange Agreement and will become a party thereto. In addition, prior to the Closing, subject to the approval of the Shareholders’ Representative, certain shareholders of NextNRG may transfer their shares of NextNRG Stock to persons who are currently shareholders of NextNRG or who would become new shareholders of NextNRG.

 

The Second Amendment Agreement also provides that the Company will undertake such actions as needed to obtain the approval of the stockholders of the Company for the adoption and approval of the Exchange Agreement, as amended, and the transactions contemplated thereby including the issuance of the Company’s common stock thereunder.

 

 

At closing, the Company has agreed to appoint Mr. Farkas to the board of directors as Executive Chairman and to appoint him Chief Executive Officer of the Company. At closing, the Company has also agreed to appoint Joel Kleiner, the Chief Financial Officer of NextNRG, as the Chief Financial Officer of the Company. The closing of the transactions contemplated under the Exchange Agreement are subject to certain customary closing conditions, including (i) that the Company file a Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to increase its authorized common stock from 50,000,000 shares to 500,000,000 shares (ii) the receipt of the requisite third-party consents, and (iii) compliance with the rules and regulations of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”), which includes the filing of an Initial Listing Application with Nasdaq and approval of such application by Nasdaq. In addition, while the stockholders of the Company have provided written consent approving the Second Amendment Agreement in September 2024 pursuant to Nasdaq Rule 5635, the effectiveness of such written consent was dependent upon the dissemination of a definitive Information Statement on Schedule 14C, which the Company completed in November 2024. Upon consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement, NextNRG will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

Except as provided above, there were no transactions since the beginning of the Company’s last fiscal year, or any currently proposed transaction, in which the Company was or is to be a participant and the amount involved exceeds $120,000, and in which any related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.
