Commitments and contingencies
● On September 12, 2023, the Company amended its existing strategic partnership agreement with Devvio, a related party. The Company has committed to making specific payments to Devvio. They will provide a minimum advance of $1,000,000 by August 1, 2024, followed by $1,270,000 by August 1, 2025 and August 1, 2026. Additionally, starting from 2027, if advance royalty payments fall below $1,000,000 in any year, Devvio has the right to terminate the Strategic Partnership Agreement. On July 8, 2024, the parties further amended the agreement such that the minimum advances extended by one year and are now due as follows: $1,000,000 by August 1, 2025, followed by $1,270,000 by August 1, 2026 and August 1, 2027. Additionally starting in calendar year 2028, if advance royalty payments fall below $1,000,000 in any year, Devvio has the right to terminate the Strategic Partnership Agreement. The agreement is amended on October 28, 2025 to eliminate the aforementioned payment obligations. ● On February 16, 2024, the Company entered into a licensing agreement with Greenlines Technology Inc. for the use of certain technologies. The Company has agreed to pay $42,000 within 15 days of the closing of the BCA. Such amount was paid on November 26, 2024. Commencing January 1, 2025, the Company has agreed to pay an annual fee of $12,000 of the first day of each calendar year for the use of the technology. The amounts due on January 1, 2025 were paid on January 9, 2026. The Company has accrued $1,000 in connection with the annual fee payable as of January 31, 2026. ● On November 13, 2024, the Company entered into a strategic consulting agreement with Focus Impact Partners, pursuant to which the Focus Impact Partners will provide the Company with certain consulting services (“Strategic Consulting Agreement”) in consideration of an annual consulting fee of $500,000, which will be payable in quarterly installments of $125,000 starting with an initial payment for the period beginning December 31, 2023. Fees due under the Strategic Consulting Agreement shall accrue and not be payable until (a) the Company has successfully raised $5,000,000 in outside debt and/or equity capital, cumulatively since the period beginning December 31, 2023 or (b) the Company has 2 or more consecutive quarters of positive cash flow from operations. As of January 31, 2026, neither condition has been met. DevvStream Corp. will pay the Focus Impact Partners additional consulting fees as to be mutually agreed consistent with market practice in connection with any acquisition, merger, consolidation, business combination, sale, divestiture, financing, refinancing, restructuring or other similar transaction. The Strategic Consulting Agreement has a term of three years unless terminated early with at least 120 days advance notice and will be automatically extended for successive one-year periods at the end of each year unless either party provide a written notice of its desire not to automatically extend at least 120 days prior to the end of each year during the term of the Strategic Consulting Agreement. ● Holders of the Company’s common stock, including Focus Impact Sponsor and historical holders of Devv Holdings, as well as holders of SPAC Warrants are entitled to registration rights pursuant to registration rights agreements signed prior to the RTO, requiring the Company to register such securities for resale. The holders of the majority of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company registers such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of the Initial Business Combination and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. ● On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IR Act”) was signed into federal law. The IR Act provides for, among other measures, a new U.S. federal 1% excise tax on certain repurchases, including redemptions, of stock by publicly traded domestic corporations in the U.S. The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation and the amount of the excise tax is generally 1% of the fair market value of the stock repurchased. However, for the purposes of calculating the excise tax, repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases during the same taxable year. In addition, certain exceptions apply to the excise tax. During 2024, the IRS issued final regulations with respect to the timing and payment of excise tax. Pursuant to those regulations, the Company would need to file a return and remit payment for any liability incurred during the period from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023 on or before October 31, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating its obligations with respect to this provision of the IR Act. As the Company was formerly a special purposes acquisition corporation, redemption of shares by shareholders took place prior to the Initial Business Combination. The Company accrued $2,410,973 in excise taxes payable (Note 9), however has not made a payment as of January 31, 2026. If the Company is unable to pay its obligations in full, it may be subject to additional interest and penalties which are currently estimated at 10% interest per annum and a 5% underpayment penalty per month or portion of a month up to 25% of the total liability for any amount that is unpaid from November 1, 2024 until paid in full.
● On January 15, 2026, the Company executed a binding term sheet with Fayafi to establish a jointly governed special purpose vehicle expected to be formed within 90 days. The platform is intended to scale to approximately $100 million in capital commitments by the end of 2027 and will focus on investments in decarbonization and environmental infrastructure. Profits are expected to be distributed 80% to Fayafi and 20% to the Company, and the Company expects to receive a one-time setup fee and ongoing consulting fees once capital deployment begins. As of the date of issuance of these financial statements, the SPV has not yet been formed, and no capital has been committed or deployed.
●
On January 26, 2026, the Company entered into a binding term sheet with XCF Global, Inc. and Southern to pursue a proposed three-party merger. The contemplated transaction would combine the parties into an integrated platform focused on sustainable aviation fuel (“SAF”), environmental attribute monetization, and related low-carbon fuel initiatives. The term sheet establishes a framework for negotiating definitive agreements, which remain subject to further negotiation and approval by the respective boards of directors. As of January 31, 2026, no definitive merger agreement has been executed, and no transaction has been consummated. Accordingly, no amounts have been recognized in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements related to this proposed transaction.
Any definitive agreement for such three-party merger shall be subject to the parties thereto mutually agreeing to acceptable to terms prior to execution thereof.
● From time to time, the Company may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of operations in the normal course of business. At January 31, 2026, there were no pending or threatened lawsuits that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the results of the Company’s operations. There are also no proceedings in which any of the Company’s directors, officers or affiliates is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to the Company’s interest. |
