The
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”),
and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), provide a safe harbor for forward-looking
statements made by or on behalf of NextNRG, Inc. (“NextNRG,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the
“Company”). The Company and its representatives may from time to time make written or oral statements that are “forward-looking,”
including statements contained in this report and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and in
our reports and presentations to stockholders or potential stockholders. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified
by words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “potential,”
“continue” or similar expressions. Such forward-looking statements include risks and uncertainties and there are important
factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These
factors, risks and uncertainties can be found in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of the Company’s Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, as the same may be updated from time to time, including in Part II, Item 1A, “Risk
Factors,” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Although
we believe the expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, it is not possible to
foresee or identify all factors that could have a material effect on the future financial performance of the Company. The forward-looking
statements in this report are made on the basis of management’s assumptions and analyses, as of the time the statements are made,
in light of their experience and perception of historical conditions, expected future developments and other factors believed to be appropriate
under the circumstances.
Except
as otherwise required by the federal securities laws, we disclaim any obligation or undertaking to publicly release any updates or revisions
to any forward-looking statement contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the information incorporated by reference in this
report to reflect any change in our expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any
statement is based.
The
following discussion and analysis provides information we believe is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our unaudited
condensed consolidated operating results and financial condition. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and the notes thereto included in
this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as our other reports filed with the SEC from time to time, including, but not limited
to, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Overview
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.
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
plans to sell energy to its wireless EV charging customers.
NextNRG
also plans to sell its innovative solutions to property owners, parking facilities, municipalities, and government agencies, as well
as charge point operators, 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 PPA accordingly. NextNRG is also planning to sell energy to electric vehicle owners via wireless EV charging.

SaaS
& Licensing
Software
as a Service (“SaaS”) 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, e.g. solar panels, battery storage solution equipment, wireless charging
pad or bumper and vehicle receiver technology.
Potential
Customers
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.
Mobile
Fueling
Mobile
Fuel Delivery
NextNRG’s
mobile fueling solution is an on-demand and subscription fuel delivery service that brings fuel directly to consumers, commercial fleets,
and specialty vehicles at homes, workplaces, and job sites. 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.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and the year ended December 31, 2025, we derived all of our revenues from mobile fuel deliveries.

Developments
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. Further, the Company
agreed among other things to pay the Lender a commitment fee of $400,000 in consideration of the Loan, and an optional extension fee
of $200,000 for any month or part thereof in which the Company requests an additional 30-day extension to the Loan, upon the Lender’s
written consent. If any amount payable under the Loan is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, or otherwise,
such overdue amount will bear interest at a rate of 21%. Additionally, the Company agreed to execute an irrevocable transfer instruction
with its transfer agent to issue $5,000,000 worth of shares of Company common stock to the Lender if the Gad Note is not repaid on or
before February 23, 2025. However, pursuant to an amendment to the Gad Note, dated January 15, 2025, between the Company and the Lender,
no shares of the Company can be issued without the Company first receiving shareholder approval. The Company has commenced the process
of obtaining shareholder approval and once the shareholder approval process is completed and the Company is authorized to issue the shares,
the Company will issue the shares. 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. The note was paid in full on March 26, 2025.
Promissory
Note, dated as of January 15, 2025
On
January 15, 2025, the Company and Alcourt LLC (“Alcourt”) entered into a promissory note (the “Alcourt Note”)
for the sum of $1,000,000 to be used for the Company’s working capital needs, including without limitation, the purchase of equipment.
The Alcourt Note was issued with an original issue discount of $50,000. The unpaid principal balance of the Alcourt Note has a fixed
rate of interest of 15% per annum. Unless the Alcourt Note is otherwise accelerated or extended in accordance with the terms and conditions
therein, the balance of the Alcourt Note, along with accrued interest, will be due and payable in full on April 15, 2025 (“Maturity
Date”). If the Alcourt Note is not repaid by the Maturity Date, for any reason whatsoever, the Company will issue shares of the
Company’s common stock with a then current value of $500,000 to Alcourt (the “Extension Fee”). The shares will be valued
based on the greater of: (i) the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the Maturity Date; or (ii) $1.00 per share; if
the Company’s common stock is trading below $1.00 per share, Alcourt can elect to receive the Extension Fee of $500,000 in cash.
The Company agreed to execute an irrevocable transfer instruction with its transfer agent to issue $500,000 worth of shares of Company
common stock to Alcourt if the Alcourt Note is not repaid on or before April 15, 2025. Upon payment of the Extension Fee, the Maturity
Date shall be extended until July 15, 2025. Additionally, if the Alcourt Note is paid at any time after the initial Maturity Date, the
Company shall pay a $50,000 termination fee together with the repayment of the principal, accrued unpaid interest, and any other charges
due to Alcourt. No shares of the Company shall be issued without the Company first receiving shareholder approval. The Company has commenced
the process of obtaining shareholder approval as soon as reasonably practicable after execution of the Alcourt Note. The note was repaid
in full in February 2025.

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, 2025
and the related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. 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 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 the Financial Accounting
Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, “Consolidation”.
41
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). |
42
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 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. | |
| ● | 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 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.
43
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, 2025, and 2024, 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 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).
44
Inventory
The
Company accounts for inventory in accordance with ASC 330, Inventory. Inventory consists solely of fuel and is stated at the lower of
cost or net realizable value 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 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 real-estate and certain equipment leases are classified as operating leases and are included as ROU 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 Company’s operating
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).
45
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, 2025,
and 2024.
See
Note 7 for details on third-party and related-party operating leases.
The
Company recognizes revenue in accordance with 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:
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| 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.
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| 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.
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| 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.
46
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, 2025 and 2024, 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. |
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| 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.
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| 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.
Sale-Leaseback
Transactions
During
the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company entered into four sale-leaseback transactions with Equify Financial, LLC under Master Lease
No. 17348L pursuant to which the Company sold certain transportation equipment and concurrently leased the equipment back for a 36-month
term, with monthly rent paid in advance and a lessee-paid TRAC residual due at the end of the term.
The
Company evaluated these transactions under ASC 606 and ASC 842-40 and concluded that the transfers did not qualify for sale accounting
because the present value of the lease payments, including the TRAC, represents substantially all of the fair value of the underlying
equipment (ASC 842-10-25-2(d)). Accordingly, the transactions are accounted for as financings: the equipment remains on the Company’s
balance sheet within property and equipment and continues to be depreciated on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of
five years; the cash proceeds received are recorded as a financing obligation; and scheduled lease payments are bifurcated between interest
expense (recognized using the implicit rate in the arrangement) and principal reduction of the financing obligation.
As
of December 31, 2025, the weighted-average implicit rate across the four arrangements was approximately 16.4% per annum and the aggregate
outstanding financing obligation was approximately $3.6 million.
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 |
47
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 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, 2025 and 2024, 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, 2025 and 2024.
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.
48
Valuation
Allowance Determination
At
December 31, 2025 and 2024, 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 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.
49
Basic
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
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.
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| ● | 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 |
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| ● | 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 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. |
50
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 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.
| ● | See Notes 1, 10 and 12, which discuss a common control merger between Next and EZFL, after year end, on February 13, 2025 | |
|---|---|---|
| ● | See Note 4 which includes accrued interest payable – related parties. | |
| ● | See Notes 5 and 12 for a discussion of related party debt. | |
| ● | See Note 7 regarding right-of-use operating lease with the Company’s Chief Technology Officer. | |
| ● | See Note 8 for a discussion of equity transactions with certain officers and directors. |

Revenues
Revenues
for the year ended December 31, 2025, increased significantly compared to the prior year December 31, 2024. 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:
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| 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.
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| 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.
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| 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:
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| 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.
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| 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.
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| 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 increased compared to the prior year, primarily due to an increase in sales and revenue.
53
Depreciation
and Amortization
Depreciation
and amortization also increased year over year. The primary driver of this increase was the depreciation of newly acquired vehicles during the year, reflecting the Company’s ongoing
investments in delivery vehicles, fueling technology, and other capital expenditures necessary to support continued growth and maintain
operational efficiency.

The
Company’s other income (expense), net, deteriorated significantly for the year ended December 31, 2025, 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 decreased in 2025, reflecting a continuation in the Company’s cash management strategy. In 2024, the Company had short-term
investments or interest-bearing accounts that generated interest, which did not recur in 2025.
Other
income
Other
income decreased year over year.
Interest
Expense (including amortization of debt discount)
Interest
expense surged in 2025, primarily due to:
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| 1. | Default Penalty Interest: The Company incurred significantly more in default penalty interest in 2025 than in the prior year. This penalty arose from contractual defaults related to late note payments. |
54
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| 2. | Amortization of Debt Discount: The amortization of debt discount increased to $9,586,418 in 2025 from $5,352,448 in 2024. 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. |
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| 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 or 2025.
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 2025, the Company did not record a loss on debt extinguishment.
Net
Loss
| Years Ended December 31, | Year over Year Changes | |||||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | Increase (Decrease) | ||||||||||||||
| Amount | Amount | $ Amount | % Change | |||||||||||||
| Net Loss | $ | (88,175,997 | ) | $ | (21,396,633 | ) | $ | (66,779,364 | ) | 312.10 | % |
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, 2025 and 2024:

| Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 384,140 | $ | 1,612,117 | $ | (1,227,977 | ) | (76.17 | )% |
Cash
and cash equivalents decreased year-over-year. The primary drivers of this increase were:
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| 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.
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| 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, 2025. 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.

Year
Ended December 31, 2025 as compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2024
Operating
Activities
Net cash used in operating activities increased by
approximately $8,2 million, or 28.13%, year-over-year. This increase is largely due to the increase in operating expenses and net loss,
as well as a decrease in interest income.
Investing
Activities
Cash received from investing activities increased
$11.7 million, or 100%, from December 31, 2024 to December 31, 2025, driven by a decrease in a purchase of fixed assets and cash proceeds
from the sale of vehicles.
Financing
Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities decreased
by $5.3 million, or 28.37%, and was largely driven by proceeds from notes receivable and cash from the sale of common stock, offset by
the repayment of notes payable, and entry into a financing lease via a sales
leaseback transaction. .
Net
Change in Cash and Cash Equivalents
Overall, the Company’s cash position decreased
by approximately $1.2 million, or 76%, in 2025. This decrease is primarily the result of increased operating expenses, partially offset
by the increase in revenue, as well as by the decrease of cash provided by financing activities.
Cash
Flow Summary
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| 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
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| 1. | Liquidity and Capital Resources: The decrease in cash from financing activities is primarily due to repayments of notes payable exceeding new funds received from the issuance of new notes payable. Higher interest expense and ongoing operational requirements underscore the importance of prudent cash management and careful monitoring of debt covenants. |
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| 2. | 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. |
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| 3. | 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, the Company 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.
59
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. |

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.
60
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:
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| ● | The recognition of goodwill (only in business combinations). |
61
| ● | 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:
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| ● | Regulation S-X, Rule 3-05: Requires separate financial statements of the acquired business if it meets significance thresholds under Rule 1-02(w). |
62
| ● | 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.
63
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).
64
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). |
65
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:
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
66
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.
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| 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.
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| 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.
67
The
Company’s fuel sales and memberships each have a distinct standalone selling price, eliminating the need for allocation adjustments.
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| 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 |
68
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).
69
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.
70
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. |
71
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| ● | 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.
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| ● | 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 |
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| ● | 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). |
72
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. | |

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.

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:
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| 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.
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| 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.
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| 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:
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| 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.
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| 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.
76
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| 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:
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| ● | Payroll: Streamlined staffing and improved operational processes led to lower headcount-related expenses. |
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| ● | 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. |
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| ● | Insurance & Technology: Renegotiated insurance policies and a strategic re-evaluation of technology expenditures contributed to reduced overhead. |
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| ● | 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.

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:
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
78
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| 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:

| 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:
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| 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.
80
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| 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.

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.
81
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:
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| 1. | Debt Financing: Proceeds from the issuance of notes payable and notes payable – related parties. The Company secured additional debt contributing to higher inflows. |
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| 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
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| 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
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
84
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| 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.
85
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. |

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. EzFill provides
its customers 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.
On April 27, 2023, the Company executed
a 1-for-8 reverse stock split and decreased the number of shares of its authorized common stock from 500,000,000 shares to 50,000,000
and its preferred stock from 50,000,000 to 5,000,000. As a result, all share activity has been restated as if the reverse stock split
had been consummated as of the beginning of the respective period.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of
operations are based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles in the U.S., or GAAP. We have identified certain accounting policies as critical to understanding our financial condition
and results of our operations. For a detailed discussion on the application of these and other accounting policies, see the notes to
our financial statements included in this Annual Report on
Form 10-K.

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, 2023, and 2022:
| Year Ended December 31, | ||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| Average fuel margin per gallon | $ | 0.65 | $ | 0.50 |
Year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the Year
ended December 31, 2022
Revenues
We generated revenues of $23,216,423 for the year
ended December 31, 2023, compared to $15,044,721 for the year ended December 31, 2022, an increase of $8,171,702 or 54%. This increase
is due to a 39% increase in gallons delivered as well as an increase in the average price per gallon. The additional gallons were in existing
as well as new markets.
Cost of sales was $21,845,574 for the year ended December
31, 2023, resulting in a gross profit of 1,370,849, compared to $(173,513) for the prior year. The $6,627,340 or 44% increase in cost
of sales is due to the increase in sales and an increase in labor costs primarily related to the expansion into new markets. Our gross
profit improved year over year due to higher fuel revenues as well as increased delivery fees and driver efficiency.
31
Operating Expenses
We incurred operating expenses of $9,087,223
during the year ended December 31, 2023, as compared to $15,543,145 during the prior year, a decrease of $6,455,922 or 42%. The
decrease was primarily due to decreases in payroll, sales and marketing, insurance, technology, and public company expenses offset
by an increase in stock based compensation.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation increased in the current year as a result
of the increase in the fleet of delivery vehicles. Amortization decreased in the current year as a result of the impairment of goodwill
and other intangible assets recorded in the fourth quarter of 2022.
Impairment of Goodwill, Fixed Assets and Other
Intangibles
During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company
recorded impairment of $105,506 related to materials purchased for construction of delivery vehicles to reduce the carrying value to the
expected realizable value. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $1,987,500 related to a
license of technology for which the Company has proposed termination of the agreement and which was not expected to generate any revenue
in 2023. Goodwill was considered impaired, and the Company recognized an impairment loss of $166,838, or the remaining balance of goodwill.
This loss was primarily due to the fall in the Company’s stock price and the decrease of the Company’s market capitalization
as well as past operating performance. As a consequence, management forecasts were revised, and additional risk factors were applied.
The fair value of the intangibles was estimated using a combination of market comparables (level 1 inputs) and expected present value
of future cash flows (level 3 inputs) and as a result impairment was recorded for a total of $482,064. Also, the Company recorded an impairment
of $258,114 related to materials purchased for construction of delivery vehicles to reduce the carrying value to the expected realizable
value
Other Income (Expense)
Interest expense increased in the current year due
to increased borrowing for truck purchases.
Net Losses
We sustained a net loss of $10,471,889 for the year
ended December 31, 2023, as compared to $17,505,765 for the prior year, a decrease of $7,033,876 or 40% as a result of the above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flow Activities
As of December 31, 2023, we had an accumulated deficit
of $(43,317,050). We have incurred net losses since inception and have funded operations primarily through sales of our common stock and
issuance of notes payable, including to related parties. As of December 31, 2023, we had $226,985 in cash and investments, as compared
to December 31, 2022 when we had $4,186,875 in cash and investments.
Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $(6,643,397)
during year ended December 31, 2023, which was made up primarily by the net loss and partially offset by stock compensation of $1,525,146
and depreciation and amortization of $1,108,186 and impairment loss of $105,506 and loss on debt extinguishment – related party
of $291,000 and amortization of debt discount of $1,403,244. Net cash used in operating activities was $(11,599,581) for the prior year
ended December 31, 2022, which was made up primarily by the net loss and partially offset by stock compensation of $1,412,283 and depreciation
and amortization of $1,769,621 and impairment losses of $2,894,516.
Investing Activities
During the year ended December 31, 2023, we provided
cash of $2,170,732, during the year ended December 31, 2022 we used cash of $(3,258,417). Investments matured during 2023 of $2,130,116.
Also in 2023 we had refunds on prior purchases of fixed assets, primarily delivery trucks of $40,616. Investments matured during 2022
for total proceeds of $1,151,186. We used $321,250 for the acquisition of a fueling business in 2022. We used $3,258,417 for the acquisition
of fixed assets, primarily delivery trucks
32
Financing Activities
We generated $2,632,857 of cash flows from financing
activities during the year ended December 31, 2023 including $4,590,600 in new loans for truck purchases, $250,000 loan from a related
party, less principal repayments of $3,732,889 and received proceeds from the issuance of common stock from the ATM of $25,308 and recorded
related expenses of $25,308.We generated $2,533,589 of cash flows from financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2022, including
$3,191,308 from new debt borrowings, less $657,719 for the repayment of debt.
Liquidity and Sources of Capital
From inception to December 31, 2023, we have funded
our activities through capital contributions from issuances of notes payable and the sale of securities pursuant to the exemption provided
by Regulation D, by sale of securities to accredited investors and a public offering. We have also financed truck purchases from manufacturer
loans and from our bank line of credit.
Although our financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 2023 were prepared under the assumption that we would continue our operations as a going concern, the report of our independent
registered public accounting firm that accompanies our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 contains a going concern
qualification in which said firm expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, based on the financial
statements at that time. The Company has sustained a net loss since inception and does not have sufficient revenues and income to fully
fund the operations. As a result, the Company has relied on loans from stockholders and others as well as stock sales to fund its activities
to date. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company had a net loss of $10,471,889. At December 31, 2023, the Company had an accumulated
deficit of 45,317,050. We anticipate that we will continue to generate operating losses and use cash in operations through the foreseeable
future.
Since inception, the Company’s operations have
primarily been funded through proceeds received in equity and debt financings. In September 2021, the Company completed its Initial Public
Offering and raised $25,250,000 in net proceeds after deducting the underwriting discount and offering expenses. The Company anticipates
that it will need to raise additional capital, in order to continue to fund 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, in the event that we require additional financing,
such financing will be available on terms which are favorable to us, or at all. If we are unable to raise additional funding to meet our
working capital needs in the future, we will be forced to delay or reduce, limit or cease our operations.

in which said firm expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, based on the financial statements at
that time. The
Company has sustained a net loss since inception and does not have sufficient revenues and income to fully fund the operations. As a
result, the Company has relied on loans from stockholders and others as well as stock sales to fund its activities to date. For the year
ended December 31, 2022, the Company had a net loss of $17,505,765. At December 31, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $34,845,161.
We anticipate that we will continue to generate operating losses and use cash in operations through the foreseeable future.
Since
inception, the Company’s operations have primarily been funded through proceeds received in equity and debt financings. In September
2021, the Company completed its Initial Public Offering and raised $25,250,000 in net proceeds after deducting the underwriting discount
and offering expenses. The Company anticipates that it will need to raise additional capital by March 31, 2023, in order to continue to
fund 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, in the event that we require additional financing, such financing will be available on terms which are
favorable to us, or at all. If we are unable to raise additional funding to meet our working capital needs in the future, we will be
forced to delay or reduce, limit or cease our operations.

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. EzFill provides its customers 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.
Our
consumer business was impacted significantly in 2020 by the COVID-19 pandemic and has largely returned in 2021 for residential fueling
but is still in the process of recovering at office parks to pre-pandemic levels as employees gradually return to the office.
Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our
discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements, which have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S., or GAAP. We have identified certain accounting policies as critical
to understanding our financial condition and results of our operations. For a detailed discussion on the application of these and other
accounting policies, see the notes to our financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The
following table sets forth our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020:

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, 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, 2021 and 2020:
| Year Ended December 31, | ||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2021 | 2020 | |||||||
| Net loss | $ | (9,383,397 | ) | $ | (7,254,006 | ) | ||
| Interest expense, net | 768,985 | 321,338 | ||||||
| Depreciation and amortization | 872,834 | 451,533 | ||||||

Year
ended December 31, 2021 compared to the Year ended December 31, 2020
Revenues
We
generated revenues of $7,233,957 for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to $3,586,244 for the year ended December 31, 2020, an
increase of 3,647,713 or 102%. This increase is due to a 53% increase in gallons delivered as well as an increase in the average price
per gallon.
Cost
of sales was $7,027,274 for the year ended December 31, 2021, resulting in a gross profit of $206,683, compared to $42,172 for the prior
year. The $3,483,202 or 98% increase in cost of sales is due to the increase in sales.
22
Operating
Expenses
We
incurred operating expenses of $8,102,934 during the year ended December 31, 2021, as compared to $6,523,307 during the prior year, an
increase of $1,579,627 or 24%. This net increase consisted of a decrease of $2,728,634 in stock compensation expense and an increase
of $4,308,261 in other operating expenses. The increase was primarily due to increases in payroll, sales and marketing, insurance, technology
and public company expenses.
Depreciation
and Amortization
Amortization
increased in the current year as a result of the acquisition of a technology license. Depreciation increased in the current year as a
result of purchases of vehicles and delivery equipment.
Other
Income (Expense)
Other
income in the current year resulted from the forgiveness of a loan under the Paycheck Protection Program. Interest expense increased
due to warrants and shares issued in connection with new debt as well as the early repayment of debt and the resulting write-off of unamortized
debt discounts.
Net
Losses
We
sustained a net loss of $9,383,397 for the year ended December 31, 2021, as compared to $7,254,006 for the prior year, an increase of
$2,129,391 or 29% as a result of the above.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Cash
Flow Activities
As
of December 31, 2021, we had an accumulated deficit of $(17,339,396). We have incurred net losses since inception and have funded operations
primarily through sales of our common stock and issuance of notes payable, including to related parties. As of December 31, 2021, we
had $16,924,146 in cash and investments, as compared to December 31, 2020, when we had $882,870 in cash.
Operating
Activities
Net
cash used in operating activities was $(6,306,759) for the year ended December 31, 2021, which was made up primarily by the net loss
and partially offset by an increase in stock-based compensation of $1,896,074, warrants and shares to lenders of $248,011, and depreciation
and amortization of $872,834. Net cash used in operating activities was $(1,607,669) during the prior year, which was made up primarily
by the net loss and partially offset by depreciation and amortization of $451,533, stock-based compensation of $4,624,708, and loss on
settlement of $300,000.
Investing
Activities
During
the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, we used $1,998,151 and $24,075, respectively, for the acquisition of fixed assets. We invested
$3,367,953 in debt securities in 2021. We also used a total of $1,998,151 in 2021 for trucks delivered in 2021 as
well as those being built for delivery in 2022.
Financing
Activities
We
generated $24,370,464 of cash flows from financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2021, including $28,750,000 less
related expense of $(3,500,426) from the Initial Public Offering, $2,990,572 from new debt borrowings and $115,000 from issuance of
stock, less $3,984,682 for the repayment of debt. All of the pre-acquisition debt was repaid following our IPO. Approximately
$317,000 of new debt in 2021 was incurred post-IPO for the purchase of trucks and other vehicles. During the same period of the
prior year, we generated $2,482,523 from financing activities, $1,174,673 from new debt and $1,550,000 from the sale of shares, less
$242,150 for the repayment of debt.
Liquidity
and Sources of Capital
From
inception to December 31, 2021, we have funded our activities through capital contributions from issuances of notes payable and the sale
of securities pursuant to the exemption provided by Regulation D, by sale of securities to accredited investors and a public offering.
We have also financed truck purchases from manufacturer loans and from our bank line of credit.
The
Company has sustained a net loss since inception and does not have sufficient revenues and income to fully fund the operations. As a
result, the Company has relied on loans from stockholders and others as well as stock sales to fund its activities to date. For the year
ended December 31, 2021, the Company had a net loss of $9,383,387. At December 31, 2021, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $17,339,396
and a working capital surplus of $16,436,296. We anticipate that we will continue to generate operating losses and use cash in
operations through the foreseeable future.
In
September 2021, the Company completed its Initial Public Offering and raised $25,250,000 in net proceeds after deducting the underwriting
discount and offering expenses. The Company expects that its cash on hand will fund its operations for at least 12 months after the issuance
date of these financial statements. However, since inception, the Company’s operations have primarily been funded through proceeds
received in equity and debt financings. The Company anticipates that it will need to raise additional capital in
order to fund 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, in the event that we require additional financing, such financing will be available on terms which are
favorable to us, or at all. If we are unable to raise additional funding to meet our working capital needs in the future, we will be
forced to delay or reduce, limit or cease our operations.
