Loans #1, #2, #6-#18, #20, and #30-31 represent merchant cash advance (“MCA”) agreements entered into by the Company. Under these arrangements, the Company receives a specified gross advance amount, net of origination fees, discounts, and other transaction costs, in exchange for a fixed repayment obligation that typically exceeds the net funds received.

 

Repayment terms generally range from 21 to 78 weeks and are structured as daily or weekly fixed remittances. The Company accounts for these arrangements as debt in accordance with ASC 470, recognizing the full repayment obligation as a liability, with related issuance costs amortized over the term of the loan.

 

To manage liquidity and meet near-term obligations, the Company has, in several instances, refinanced existing MCA loans by entering into new MCA agreements with the same or alternative lenders. These refinancing arrangements often involve:

 

  Using the proceeds of a new advance to pay off the remaining balance of a prior loan, including any unpaid fees or penalties;

 

  Rolling multiple MCA balances into a single new obligation; or

 

  Structuring overlapping repayment terms, which may temporarily reduce daily outflows but increase aggregate repayment obligations.

 

While refinancing may provide short-term liquidity relief, it often results in higher cumulative borrowing costs due to upfront fees and the compounding effect of new obligations. These refinancings are typically executed close to the maturity of the original MCA or earlier if cash flow pressures arise.

 

The Company utilizes MCA financing primarily to support working capital and general operations. Given the short-term nature, fee structure, and recurring refinancing activity, these MCA obligations are classified as short-term debt. The Company continuously evaluates its funding options to manage cash flow and covenant compliance under these agreements.

 

Loans #3 and #4

 

In November 2024, the Company executed an asset purchase agreement with Yoshi, Inc. In connection with this transaction, in February 2025, the Company acquired various vehicles as part of a growth and expansion plan. The Company has access to and utilizes these vehicles for mobile fueling as part of its ongoing operations. Since the transaction did not close until February 2025, the payments made/due as of December 31, 2024, have been classified as a component of deposit on future asset purchase totaling $2,035,283. In 2025, $1,229,000 of this amount was reclassified to vehicles, and the remaining value was expensed.

 

 

As part of the consideration due to the seller, the Company was required to pay $1,250,000, plus an additional $250,000, between six and nine months from the transaction date.

 

As of December 31, 2024, the Company had paid $650,000, however an additional $850,000 remained due and outstanding as a condition for closing the asset purchase.

 

In February 2025, an additional $650,000 was paid. At the date of these unaudited consolidated financial statements, and pursuant to the repayment terms, the balance of $200,000 remains and is due by August 2025.

 

Loan #5

 

In December 2024, the Company executed a two-month loan for $2,500,000. The Company was required to pay transaction fees of $440,000. The Company received the entire $2,500,000 as proceeds, rather than the transaction fees being netted from the closing. These fees totaling $440,000 were recorded both as an original discount and accrued expenses. In the event of default, the note would accrue interest at 21%. In February 2025, the Company obtained an additional 30-day extension, with a new maturity date occurring in March 2025, in exchange for $200,000. The loan was repaid in March 2025.

 

Loan #21

 

During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2024, the Company entered into and amended three unsecured promissory notes totaling $2,420,000 (see below for Notes #1, #2 and #3) with a former related party at the time of the transaction. These notes were initially issued with original issue discounts and additional common stock issuances classified as debt discounts totaling $1,361,400. Of the total debt discounts recognized, $1,192,637 was amortized to interest expense in 2023, the remaining balance of $168,763 was amortized to interest expense in 2024.

 

Initial Issuance Terms

 

  Note #1: Issued in April 2023 with a face value of $1,500,000, net proceeds of $1,210,000 after $290,000 in discounts and transaction fees. The Company committed to issue 100,000 shares of common stock as additional interest, of which 40,000 were issued at inception ($256,000) and 60,000 if an extension would be needed. The extension was granted in October 2023 and the Company recognized additional interest expense of $291,000. The Company recognized total debt discounts of $546,000. Upon amendment of terms, the Company evaluated the changes under ASC 470-50-40, Debt Modifications and Extinguishments, and determined the modification constituted a substantial change, resulting in a loss on debt extinguishment of $291,000.

 

  Note #2: Issued in July 2023 with a face value of $600,000, net proceeds of $511,100 after $88,900 in cash discounts and fees. The Company also issued 60,000 shares of common stock ($406,500), resulting in total debt discounts and issuance costs of $495,400 amortized to interest expense over the life of the note.

 

  Note #3: Issued in October 2023 with a face value of $320,000 and net proceeds of $272,000 after an original issue discount of $48,000. The Company agreed to issue 104,000 shares of common stock valued at $539,760; however, due to the 9.99% ownership blocker provision, these shares were classified as common stock issuable in the consolidated balance sheets. Total debt discount was limited to $320,000 in accordance with ASC 835-30-25-2 which limits discounts to the face amount of the instrument.

 

Global Amendment and Default Conversion Features

 

On January 17, 2024, the Company and the lender executed a global amendment to the terms of Notes #1, #2, and #3:

 

  In the event of default, the lender may convert the unpaid principal into shares of the Company’s common stock at the greater of (i) $3.08 and (ii) the lower of the 10-day average VWAP or a floor price of $1.75.

 

 

  A cross-default clause was included such that default on any of the three notes would constitute a default across all related instruments.

 

  The Company evaluated the amended conversion feature and determined that in the event of default, the instruments may contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation and fair value recognition under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The Company determined that there was no event of default. Given the floor price, the Company determined no derivative liability would exist, and no derivative liabilities were required to be recorded.

 

Extension-Related Stock Issuances

 

  In January 2024, the Company was obligated to issue 72,000 common shares (valued at $270,000, $3.75/share) as consideration for extending the maturities of Notes #2 and #3 to April 19, 2024.

 

  On May 9, 2024, the Company further extended all three notes to July 17, 2024, resulting in an obligation to issue an additional 66,000 shares (valued at $407,550, $6.18/share).

 

  In total, the Company had an obligation to issue 138,000 shares of common stock with a fair value of $677,500.

 

  Due to the 9.99% equity cap, these shares were not immediately issued and were recognized as additional interest expense.

 

Conversion to Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

 

On August 16, 2024, the Company and the lender agreed to convert all remaining obligations under Notes #1, #2, and #3 into equity. The total principal converted was $2,420,000. The lender exercised a 150% penalty interest feature, increasing the total debt conversion amount to $3,630,000. As a result, the Company issued 363,000 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock with a stated value of $10 per share. The fair value of the preferred stock was determined based on its as-converted value into common stock as follows:

 

Valuation inputs     
Market price per share of common stock - on date of issuance  $2.76 
Discount to market price on date of issuance   80%
Conversion price per share  $2.21 
      
Series A convertible preferred stock - stated value per share  $10.00 
Conversion price per share  $2.21 
Number of shares of common stock - for each share of Series A convertible preferred stock held   4.53 
      
Series A preferred shares issued   363,000 
Number of shares of common stock - for each share of Series A convertible preferred stock held   4.53 
Equivalent common shares   1,644,022 
      
Market price per share of common stock - on date of issuance  $2.76 
      
As converted valuation of Series A convertible preferred stock  $4,537,500 
Debt converted in exchange for Series A convertible preferred stock   3,630,000 
Loss on debt extinguishment - related party  $907,500 

 

The Company accounted for the conversion as an extinguishment of debt under ASC 470-50, and the difference between the fair value of the equity issued and the carrying amount of the debt was recorded as a loss on debt extinguishment.

 

 

Common Stock Issuable – 242,000 Shares

 

In connection with the initial debt issuances and amendments discussed above, the Company had previously classified 242,000 common shares as common stock issuable due to the 9.99% ownership blocker. Upon conversion of all outstanding debt on August 16, 2024, these shares were formally issued to the lender. Since the shares had already been reflected in equity, there was no incremental impact to stockholders’ deficit upon issuance.

 

Loans #22-#26

 

In October 2024, the Company entered into five unsecured, non-interest-bearing notes with an aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 and a contractual term of 18 months. The notes were issued with an OID of $100,000, resulting in net cash proceeds of $4,900,000 at inception.

 

Although the notes had a stated maturity in 2026, the Company repaid the full $5,000,000 principal amount in February 2025, prior to maturity. The remaining unamortized debt discount of $83,547 was amortized on an accelerated basis as interest expense through the repayment date.

 

Loan #27

 

In January 2024, the Company acquired 100% of the equity interests in STAT in exchange for $5,500,000. STAT has patented technology that will be used in the Company’s expected future operations. Prior to the acquisition, the operations of STAT were insignificant.

 

In 2023, the Company paid a deposit of $250,000 towards this acquisition. In 2024, the Company paid an additional $1,550,000 for total cash consideration paid of $1,800,000 at closing.
