| SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT POLICIES | NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for New XCF and its wholly-owned subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and the instructions to Form 10-Q. They do not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the Company’s opinion, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Emerging Growth Company Status
After the closing of the Business Combination, the Company has elected to be an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012, (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected to opt out of the extended transition period and will adopt new or revised financial accounting standards upon the effective dates for non-emerging growth companies. This may make comparison of the Company’s consolidated financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. Such estimates include the opening balance sheet fair values in connection with the Acquisition, allowance for credit losses, reserves for net realizable value of inventory, useful lives of property, plant and equipment, the valuation of long-lived assets and their recoverability, stock-based compensation, the valuation of warrant liabilities, the valuation of loans payable where the fair value option was elected, the valuation of loans payable to related parties where the fair value option was elected, and accounting for income taxes and uncertain tax positions. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and also on assumptions that management considers reasonable. The Company assesses these estimates on an ongoing basis; however, actual results could materially differ from these estimates.
Segments
Operating segments as defined in ASC 280, “Segment Reporting”, are components of public entities that engage in business activities from which they may earn revenues and incur expenses for which separate financial information is available and which is evaluated regularly by the Company’s chief operating decision maker in deciding how to assess performance and allocate resources.
The Company has one reportable segment: renewable fuels. The renewable fuels segment will derive revenues from selling renewable energy products in the future once the Company’s plant facilities reach principal operations. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is the senior executive committee that includes the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.
The measures of segment profit or loss and total assets used by the chief operating decision maker to assess performance for the renewable fuels segment and decide how to allocate resources is based on net income (loss) and total assets as reported on the consolidated statements of operations and balance sheets, respectively. The significant expense categories, their amounts and other segment items that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker are those that are reported in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
All highly liquid temporary cash investments with original maturities of three months or less are cash equivalents. The Company reduces its exposure to credit risk by maintaining its cash deposits with major financial institutions and monitoring their credit ratings. The Company has not experienced any losses on these accounts and believes credit risk to be minimal. Restricted cash represents funds the Company is required to set aside for debt servicing purposes. The Company does not have restricted funds during the six months ended June 30, 2026.
The Company reconciles cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported in its consolidated balance sheets that aggregate to the beginning and ending balances shown in the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows as follows:
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable, net, are reported at the invoiced amount, less an allowance for potential uncollectible amounts. The Company did not recognize an allowance for uncollectible amounts as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Inventory
Inventories are comprised of raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods, and are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the weighted-average method. Management compares the cost of inventories with the net realizable value, and an allowance is made to write down inventories to market value, if lower. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less predictable cost of completion and applicable selling expenses. The cost of inventories includes inbound freight costs.
On October 1, 2025, New Rise Reno entered into Amendment No. 9 to the P66 Agreement. The amendment modifies certain operational provisions of the P66 Agreement, including clarifying that Phillips 66 retains title to feedstock while such feedstock is stored at the New Rise facility and that title transfers to New Rise only when the feedstock exits storage tanks and enters process units for conversion. The amendment also grants Phillips 66 a continuing right, exercisable upon written notice, to require reloading of feedstock from storage tanks into railcars. Previously, as a result of Amendment No. 9, the feedstock was not controlled by New Rise and therefore, no raw material was recorded. As a result of and in accordance with Amendment No. 9, all feedstock at the New Rise Reno facility has entered the process for conversion and therefore, all raw material has been recorded as raw material inventory. On April 1, 2026, the P66 agreement was terminated (see Note 11). On June 30, 2026, the Company had $6,369,992 in raw materials that had entered the process for conversion and therefore included in inventory of the Company. The Company also had accounts receivable due from Phillips 66 of $1,711,635 and accounts payable due to Phillips 66 of $7,737,076 related to the processing arrangement. In addition, the Company’s finished goods inventory included $991,155 of SBC produced from feedstock for which title had transferred to the Company.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Land, machinery and equipment and operation plant are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of machinery and equipment and operation plant is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which generally range from three to thirty-nine years. Expenditures for renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of or improve existing property or equipment are capitalized. Expenditure on maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.
Depreciation commences upon the machinery and equipment and operation plant being placed in service. As of June 30, 2026, no machinery, equipment or operation plant had been placed in service and therefore there was no depreciation expense or accumulated depreciation as of the balance sheet date.
Construction in progress represents expenditures necessary to bring an asset, project, new facilities or equipment to the condition necessary for its intended use and are capitalized and recorded at cost. Once completed and ready for its intended use, the asset is transferred to property, plant and equipment to be depreciated or amortized.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability is assessed by comparing the carrying amount of the asset group to the undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the assets. If the carrying amount exceeds the undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds fair value, generally determined using discounted cash flow techniques or market participant assumptions. The impairment to be recognized is the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair market value of the assets and is allocated to individual assets in the asset group on a relative fair value basis, not to be reduced below an individual asset’s fair value. The Company operates in one reporting unit.
For the six months ending June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, no events were identified that would require a quantitative assessment for impairment.
Subscription Agreement
On November 3, 2023, Focus Impact entered into a subscription agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) with Focus Impact BHAC Sponsor, LLC and Polar Multi-Strategy Master Fund (“Polar”), pursuant to which Polar agreed to make certain capital contributions to Focus Impact of up to $1,200,000 (the “Capital Contribution” or “Note Payable - Polar”) at the request of Focus Impact. The Capital Contribution were to be repaid to Polar by Focus Impact within five (5) business days of Focus Impact’s closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”). Polar could elect to receive such repayment in cash or in shares of Class A common stock of New XCF. Additionally, as stipulated by the Subscription Agreement, in consideration of the Capital Contribution funded by Polar, shares of New XCF Class A common stock was issued to Polar on the Closing Date (“Subscription Agreement Shares – Polar”).
In accordance with ASC 825, Focus Impact elected to record the Note Payable - Polar at fair value upon issuance and will remeasure the Note Payable - Polar at fair value at each reporting period.
The Note Payable - Polar was not settled at close of the Business Combination, and New XCF assumed the obligation. Pursuant to Section 1.5 and Section 1.6 of the Subscription Agreement, Polar gave notice to the Company, that as of June 17, 2025, the Company was in default of the agreement (“the Default Date”). Since the default continued for a period of five business days from the Default Date (the “Default”), the Company will issue 120,000 shares of common stock to Polar each month until the Default is cured (the “Default Shares – Polar”). For the period beginning June 17, 2025 and ending October of 2025, the Company has issued a total of 720,000 shares to Polar. On April 24, 2026, the Company issued an additional 600,000 shares to Polar as default penalty shares for a total of 1,320,000 shares. The additional shares to Polar are included in the caption “Common stock issued for penalty on notes payable” reflected in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity. This brings the Company current through April 2026. It is delinquent in delivering the proper number of shares as called for by the Subscription Agreement by 240,000 Class A shares of Common Stock for the period ended June 30, 2026.
Derivative Warrant Liabilities
The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the instruments’ specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in FASB ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”), and ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the instruments are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the instruments meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the instruments are indexed to the Company’s own common shares and whether the instrument holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, was conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the instruments are outstanding. The Company has concluded that the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants issued pursuant to the warrant agreements qualify for liability accounting treatment and are recorded as derivative liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets and measured at fair value at issuance and remeasured at each reporting date in accordance with ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement”, with changes in fair value recognized in the statements of operations during the period of change.
On June 12, 2026, the Company issued 100,000 New Warrants with an exercise price of $0.21 and a termination date of June 12, 2031. The Company’s stock price on June 12, 2026, was $. Similar to the warrants described above, the Company has concluded that the New Warrants were issued with warrant agreements that qualify for liability accounting treatment and are recorded as derivative liabilities on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets and measured at fair value at issuance and remeasured at each reporting date in accordance with ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement”, with changes in fair value recognized in the statements of operations during the period of change.
Derivative Asset
The Company evaluates all features contained in financing agreements to determine if there are any embedded derivatives that require separate accounting from the underlying agreement. An embedded derivative that requires separation is accounted for as a separate asset or liability from the host agreement. The derivative asset or liability is accounted for at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations. The Company determined that certain features under the Helena Note qualified as an embedded derivative. The derivative asset is accounted for separately from the Helena Note at fair value.
Changes in the fair value of derivatives that do not result in current-period cash settlements are non-cash operating items and are excluded from the consolidated statements of cash flows. These non-cash gains and losses are reflected in the reconciliation of net income to net cash provided by operating activities.
Revenue
The Company recognizes revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to its customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for the goods or services. To achieve that core principle, a five-step approach is applied: (1) identify the contract with a 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, and (5) recognize revenue allocated to each performance obligation when the Company satisfies the performance obligation. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account for revenue recognition.
Revenue from the Company’s point in time product sales is recognized when products are transferred, or services are invoiced and control transferred. See Note 3, Revenues from Contracts with Customers.
The Company is the principal in its customer contracts because it has control over the goods and services prior to them being transferred to the customer, and as such, revenue is recognized on a gross basis. Sales taxes are excluded from revenues. Revenue is recognized net of allowances for returns and any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales includes those costs directly associated with the production of revenues, such as raw material consumed, freight costs, personnel costs, and other direct production costs.
The Company recognizes compensation expense for all stock-based payment arrangements over the requisite service period of the award and recognizes forfeitures as they occur. For service and performance-based stock options, the Company determines the grant date fair value using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model, which requires the input of certain assumptions, including the expected life of the stock-based payment award, stock price volatility and risk-free interest rate. For restricted stock units, the Company determines the grant date fair value based on the closing market price of its Class A common stock on the date of grant. The Company records the amortization of the cost of stock-based compensation to General and administrative expenses in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Those shares awarded as severance are recorded in Severance expense on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses are expensed as incurred and include plant utilities, repairs and maintenance, quality control and testing.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses are expensed as incurred. The Company’s general and administrative costs consist of personnel costs, financial accounting consulting, legal and regulatory fees, marketing costs, website development costs, insurance costs, travel expenses and hiring expenses.
Severance Expense
Severance expenses consist of cash and stock-based compensation that may be paid to former executives and contractors as part of their severance agreement.
Income Taxes
The Company records income taxes under the asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and attributable to operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Accounting standards regarding income taxes require a reduction of the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance, if based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized. Accordingly, the need to establish valuation allowances for deferred tax assets is assessed at each reporting period based on a “more likely than not” realization threshold. This assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of current and cumulative losses, forecasts of future profitability, the duration of statutory carryforward periods, the Company’s experience with operating loss and tax credit carryforwards not expiring unused, and tax planning alternatives.
Significant judgment is required in evaluating the Company’s tax positions and determining its provision for income taxes. During the ordinary course of business, there are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. Accounting standards regarding uncertainty in income taxes provides a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount, which is more than 50% likely, based solely on the technical merits, of being sustained on examinations. The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating its tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments, and which may not accurately anticipate actual outcomes. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense.
Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders (the numerator) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period (the denominator). Diluted net income per common share attributable to common shareholders is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period adjusted for the dilutive effects of common stock equivalents. In periods when losses are reported, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
Recently Issued, Not Yet Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) – Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses,” which requires additional disclosure about specified categories of expenses included in relevant expense captions presented on the income statement. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on the Company’s disclosures.
In March 2026, the FASB issued ASU 2026-02, Environmental Credits and Environmental Credit Obligations (Topic 818), which establishes comprehensive recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure guidance for environmental credits and related compliance obligations. The standard applies to all environmental credit programs in which an entity obtains or generates tradable instruments that can be used to settle a regulatory compliance obligation or transferred to third parties. The Company’s activities include the production and sale of renewable diesel, renewable naphtha, and renewable jet fuel, which generate Low Carbon Fuel Standard (“LCFS”) credits and other environmental credits under federal and state programs. These credits meet the definition of environmental credits under Topic 818. Under the new guidance, environmental credits are recognized as assets when it is probable that the Company will (i) use the credits to settle a regulatory compliance obligation, (ii) transfer the credits in an exchange transaction, or (iii) transfer the credits in a nonreciprocal transaction. Environmental credits obtained through purchase or generation are initially measured at cost, including directly attributable costs to obtain or generate the credits. Credits intended for compliance are subsequently measured at cost and are not remeasured. Credits intended for sale or transfer are also carried at cost and are subject to impairment when indicators of impairment exist. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2026-02 on its consolidated financial statements.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-03 (“ASU 2025-03”), Business Combinations (Topic 805) and Consolidation (Topic 810), which enhance the comparability of financial statements across entities engaging in acquisition transactions effected primarily by exchanging equity interests when the legal acquiree meets the definition of a business. Specifically, under the amendments, acquisition transactions in which the legal acquiree is a VIE will, in more instances, result in the same accounting outcomes as economically similar transactions in which the legal acquiree is a voting interest entity. The amendments in this Update do not change the accounting for a transaction determined to be a reverse acquisition or a transaction in which the legal acquirer is not a business and is determined to be the accounting acquiree. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The amendment should be applied prospectively to any acquisition transaction that occurs after the initial application date. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The Company early adopted the ASU 2025-03 as of January 1, 2025. The adoption of ASU 2025-03 did not have a material impact on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 (“ASU 2023-09”), Income Taxes, which enhances the transparency of income tax disclosures by expanding annual disclosure requirements related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied on a prospective basis. Retrospective application is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 as of January 1, 2025. The adoption did not have a material impact on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04 (“ASU 2024-04”), Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20). The guidance in ASU 2024-04 clarifies the requirements related to accounting for the settlement of a debt instrument as an induced conversion. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, with early adoption permitted as of the beginning of a reporting period if the entity has also adopted ASU 2020-06 for that period. The Company adopted ASU 2024-04 as of January 1, 2026, on a prospective basis. The adoption did not have a material impact on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-07, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Scope Clarifications for Certain Contracts and Share-Based Consideration. The amendments refine the scope of ASC 815 by introducing a new exception for certain non-exchange-traded contracts whose underlying variables are based on the operations or activities of one of the contract parties, thereby reducing the number of arrangements requiring derivative accounting. The ASU also clarifies that share-based noncash consideration received from a customer is accounted for under ASC 606, measured at fair value at contract inception and recognized as revenue as performance obligations are satisfied, unless and until the instrument becomes subject to other applicable GAAP. ASU 2025-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2025-07 as of January 1, 2026. The adoption did not have a material impact on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
