Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by U.S. GAAP can be condensed or omitted. These condensed financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on May 30, 2025.

 

In the opinion of the Company’s management, the information in these condensed financial statements reflects all adjustments, all of which are of a normal and recurring nature necessary for a fair statement of the financial position and results of operations for the reported interim periods. The Company considers events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued to provide additional evidence relative to certain estimates or to identify matters that require additional disclosure. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year or any other interim period.

 

Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative U.S. GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).

 

The unaudited consolidated financial statements represent the consolidation of the accounts of the Company, its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Any references in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bimergen Energy Corporation. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Emergen Energy, LLC. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

Revenue recognition  

Revenue recognition

 

Revenue is recognized pursuant to ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (ASC 606). Accordingly, revenue is recognized at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. This principle is applied using the following 5-step process:

 

1.Identify the contract with the customer.
2.Identify the performance obligations in the contract.
3.Determine the transaction price.
4.Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract.
5.Recognize revenue when (or as) each performance obligation is satisfied.

 

We determined the appropriate method by which we recognize revenue by analyzing the nature of the products or services being provided as well as the terms and conditions of contracts or arrangements entered into with its customers. We account for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct good or service (i.e., performance obligation) identified in the contract and each performance obligation is valued based on its estimated relative standalone selling price.

 

We recognize the majority of its revenue at a point in time when it satisfies a performance obligation and transfers control of the product to the respective customer. The amount of revenue that is recognized is based on the transaction price, which represents the invoiced amount and includes estimates of variable consideration such as allowances for estimated customer discounts or concessions, where applicable. The amount of variable consideration included in the transaction price may be constrained and is included only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of the cumulative revenue recognized under the contract will not occur in a future period.

 

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions, including those related to variable consideration and stock based compensation. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the amount reported as revenue and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially from those estimates.

On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions, including those related to variable consideration, stock-based compensation, valuation of deferred tax assets and uncertain income tax positions. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the amount reported as revenue and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially from those estimates.

 

Development Project Sale Revenue Recognition  

Development Project Sale Revenue Recognition

 

The Company has entered into agreements with third parties for the sale of solar development projects. These agreements may include an upfront, nonrefundable deposit and have milestone-based consideration related to the development of the project by the purchaser.

 

Under the Purchase and Sale Agreement (“PSA”) with Bridgelink, the Company conveys control of specified solar  project rights to Bridgelink. Because the Company controls these rights before transfer and bears any return risk, it is the principal and records revenue gross for the consideration it expects to receive. Bridgelink acts solely as an intermediary; accordingly, the Company recognizes as revenue only the amounts that become probable of collection, which typically occurs when each project reaches the ready-to-build milestone.

 

Nonrefundable Upfront Deposits

 

Upfront deposits are non-contingent and nonrefundable. These amounts are included in the transaction price and recognized as revenue when the related project reaches ready-to-build (“RTB”) status. Control of the related project rights is transferred only when all contractual milestones for RTB (site control and complete queue study, title update, permits and environmental) have been satisfied. Transfer of control is determined based on the satisfaction of the RTB milestone for each project. The Company does not assess whether the contract contains a significant financing component for upfront deposits when the period between the customer’s payment and the transfer of control is expected to be one year or less.

 

The Company has determined to recognize revenue upon the determination that the RTB milestones have been met per the project sale contract and as non-refundable. The Company will relieve and charge to cost of sales the proportionate allocation of the intangible asset and the accrual of liabilities to EIP will follow the matching principle of expenses recorded related to the timing of the revenues being recorded.

 

Milestone Payments

 

Milestone Based Consideration

 

Milestone payments represent variable consideration and are included in the transaction price when it becomes probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur. The Company evaluates each milestone against the probability and measurability criteria under ASC 606 and includes such amounts in revenue only when achievement of the RTB milestone is deemed probable and the related deliverables have been substantially satisfied.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments  

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Cash, accounts payable, and accounts payable – related parties as reflected in the consolidated financial statements, approximates fair value. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

 

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents  

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents consist of liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates fair value. We maintain cash and cash equivalents in banks which at times may exceed federally insured limits. We have not experienced any losses on these deposits.

 

Deferred Offering Costs  

Deferred Offering Costs

 

Deferred offering costs consist of legal, accounting, and underwriter costs incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly related to the offering and that will be charged to shareholders’ equity upon the completion of the offering. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had deferred offering costs of $222,497 and $0, respectively.

 

Intangible Assets  

Intangible Assets

 

Development rights acquired in the Emergen transaction are classified as indefinite-lived, in-process development intangible assets and are not amortized while the related projects are under development. To the extent that an intangible asset is successfully developed into a revenue-generating asset, it will become a component of property, plant and equipment and will be depreciated based on actual energy produced over the project’s estimated lifetime. To the extent that an intangible asset is not successfully developed into a revenue-generating assets, it will be considered impaired and charged to operations at that time. The estimation of the fair value of the projects requires significant management judgment with respect to revenue and expense growth rates, changes in working capital and the selection and use of an appropriate discount rate. The estimates of the fair value of the projects are based on the best information available as of the date of the assessment. The use of different assumptions would increase or decrease estimated discounted future operating cash flows and could increase or decrease an impairment charge. Company management uses its judgment in assessing whether assets may have become impaired between annual impairment tests. Indicators such as adverse business conditions, economic factors and technological change or competitive activities may signal that an asset has become impaired.

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk  

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

Cash and cash equivalents are financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk. As of December 31, 2024, the Company also had investments in money market funds, corporate debt obligations and U.S. Treasury bills, which can be subject to certain credit risks. The Company mitigates the risks by investing in high-grade instruments, limiting its exposure to any one issuer and monitoring the ongoing creditworthiness of the financial institutions and issuers. The Company has not experienced any material losses on its financial instruments and has full access to and control over all of its cash and cash equivalents.

 

 

Stock Based Compensation  

Stock Based Compensation

 

We account for the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors, including employee stock options, based on estimated fair values. Under authoritative guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), companies are required to estimate the fair value or calculated value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of awards that are ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in our consolidated statements of operations. We use the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model to determine the fair-value of stock-based awards and the market trading price for any restricted stock awards on the day of grant. We recognized $1,144,182 and $348,559 stock compensation related to stock options for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. We recognized $102,000 and $30,000 stock compensation related to restricted stock awards for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Income Taxes  

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method; under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax reporting basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon future earnings, the timing and amount of which are uncertain.

 

In evaluating the ability to recover its deferred income tax assets, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including its operating results, ongoing tax planning and forecasts of future taxable income on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis. In the event the Company determines that it would be able to realize its deferred income tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, it would make an adjustment to the valuation allowance that would reduce the provision for income taxes. Conversely, if all or part of the net deferred tax assets are determined not to be realizable in the future, an adjustment to the valuation allowance would be charged to the provision of income taxes in the period when such determination is made.

 

Tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions are recognized when it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained during an audit. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are measured at the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement with the taxing authority. Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are included within the provision for income tax.

 

Legal Costs and Contingencies  

Legal Costs and Contingencies

 

In the normal course of business, we incur costs to hire and retain external legal counsel to advise us on regulatory, litigation and other matters. We expense these costs as the related services are received.

 

The Company recognizes a loss contingency when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. If the estimated loss is subject to potential recovery from a third party, we assess the recoverability separately and recognize the amount of recovery only when realization is probable. Loss contingencies that are reasonably possible, but not probable, are disclosed when material.

 

 

Net Loss per Share  

Net Loss per Share

 

Basic and diluted net loss per common share is presented in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share,” for all periods presented. During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, common stock equivalents from outstanding stock options and warrants have been excluded from the calculation of the diluted loss per share in the consolidated statements of operations, because all such securities were anti-dilutive. The net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods. The Company had 219,643 and 123,215 options that were potentially outstanding dilutive securities during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively
