NOTE 8 – INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The intangible assets comprise (i) a global intellectual property (“IP”) of $30,192,771 known as “Catalytic BioFraction Process”, whereby, subsidiary Bio Resources Limited (“BRL”) is the beneficial and/or registered proprietor and (ii) an exclusive license assigned to Verde Malaysia for the operation of the IP in the state of Sabah, Malaysia of MYR 14,000,000 ($3,311,000).

The “Catalytic BioFraction Process” is a slow pyrolysis process using a proprietary catalyst to depolymerize palm biomass waste (empty fruit bunches or palm kernel shells) in temperature range of 350 degrees Celsius to 500 degrees Celsius to yield commercially valuable bio products: bio-oil, wood vinegar (pyroligneous acid), biochar and bio-syngas. The intellectual property is a second-generation pyrolysis process where non-food feedstock like palm biomass waste is used as feedstock. Upon fulfilling UN’s (United Nations) ACM 22 protocol as well as LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) requirements, it is anticipated that the by-products from this IP would lead to certification and issuance of Carbon Avoidance Credits as well as Carbon Removal Credits to generate carbon revenue for the Company.

The Company has identified these intangible assets as indefinite life intangible assets as there are currently no legal, competitive, economic or other factors that materially limit the useful life of the Company’s intangible assets.

ASC 350-30-35, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other, provides for an option to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that an asset is impaired. If the qualitative assessment supports that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the asset exceeds its carrying value, a quantitative impairment test is not required. If the qualitative assessment does not support the fair value of the asset, then a quantitative assessment is performed. Our annual impairment assessment of our identifiable indefinite-lived intangible assets is performed as of the fourth quarter of each year. An assessment is performed at other times if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the asset below its carrying value. If the carrying value of the intangible assets exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess.

As of June 30, 2025, the Company performed a qualitative assessment, during the fourth quarter of 2025, to determine whether it was more likely than not that the carrying amounts of its intangible assets were impaired. This assessment considered a number of qualitative factors, including but not limited to:

Based on this qualitative assessment, management did not identify any events or changes in circumstances that would indicate that the carrying amounts of the Company’s intangible assets are not recoverable. The qualitative impairment assessment of the indefinite intangible assets indicated that the fair value of such assets exceeded their carrying value and therefore were not at risk of impairment. Accordingly, no quantitative impairment test was deemed necessary, and no impairment losses were recognized for the year ended June 30, 2025.

The Company performed a quantitative assessment during the fourth quarter of 2024. As of the date of the annual assessment for 2024, management’s impairment assessment of the indefinite intangible assets indicated that the estimated fair value of the Company’s intangible assets exceeded their carrying values and therefore no impairment losses were recognized for the year ended June 30, 2024.
