Debt strain and going concern warning at XCF Global (NASDAQ: SAFX)
XCF Global, Inc., a sustainable aviation fuel and renewable fuels developer, reported an early-stage but highly leveraged position for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. Revenue was modest at $348,688, mainly from renewable diesel, environmental credits and naphtha, while cost of sales of $660,938 produced a gross loss.
Operating expenses of $10.0 million and other expenses of $7.5 million led to a net loss of $17.8 million (basic and diluted loss per share $0.07). Total assets were $403.0 million, driven by construction in progress of $370.8 million, but current liabilities reached $244.8 million and total liabilities $377.7 million, leaving equity at $25.3 million.
Cash and cash equivalents were $1.0 million, and the company used $4.3 million of cash in operating activities while continuing to invest in its Reno facility. Management discloses recurring losses, large current obligations and loan defaults, concluding that there is substantial doubt about XCF Global’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Positive
- None.
Negative
- Substantial going concern doubt is disclosed, driven by recurring operating losses, limited cash of $1.0 million and large current liabilities of $244.8 million as of March 31, 2026.
- High leverage and defaults on key facilities, including the Greater Nevada Credit Union loans and a $136.5 million Twain financial liability, create significant refinancing and covenant risk.
- Rapid equity dilution from ELOC at-the-market stock sales and a 69,000,000-share related-party issuance materially expanded the share count while only modestly strengthening cash balances.
Insights
High leverage, loan defaults and going concern language signal acute balance sheet stress.
XCF Global is capital-intensive, with $398.4M of property, plant and equipment, mostly construction in progress, but only $1.0M in cash and current liabilities of $244.8M. Several major debt facilities are in default or under forbearance.
The Greater Nevada Credit Union loans are classified fully current after payment defaults, and a $136.5M lease-like financial liability with Twain has been in default and is subject to a forbearance agreement. Accrued interest alone totals over $57.6M on various obligations, pressuring liquidity.
Management explicitly states that recurring losses, minimal cash and large near-term obligations create substantial doubt about continuing as a going concern. Although equity financings via ELOC and related-party stock sales provided cash, future viability depends on securing additional capital and advancing facilities toward commercial operations.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
Description of Business
XCF Global, Inc. (“New XCF, the “Company”, or “we”), a Delaware corporation, formerly known as Focus Impact BH3 NewCo, Inc., was founded on March 6, 2024, for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination. Subsequent to the Business Combination, the name was changed to XCF Global, Inc.
In connection with the completion of the Business Combination described below under “Business Combination,” XCF Global Capital, Inc., a Nevada corporation (referred to herein as “Legacy XCF”), became a wholly-owned subsidiary of New XCF. Legacy XCF was formed in January 2023, and was founded to develop, operate and invest in renewable energy assets and production facilities. Throughout 2023, Legacy XCF identified acquisition targets in Nevada, Florida, and North Carolina as the foundation for the Company’s first production of sustainable aviation fuel (“SAF”), a synthetic kerosene derived from waste- and residue-based feedstocks such as waste oils and fats, green and municipal waste, and non-food crops and, currently, blended with conventional Jet-A fuel. We are committed to reducing the world’s carbon footprint by meeting the growing demand for renewable fuels and will concentrate on the production of clean-burning, sustainable biofuels, principally SAF. Though we are focused on promoting and accelerating the decarbonization of the aviation industry through SAF, we may, opportunistically, produce other renewable products such as renewable diesel, a renewable fuel, and bio-based glycerol, also known as natural glycerin, which is used in healthcare, food, and cosmetics industries. We believe there is a market opportunity in the aviation and renewable sectors as a result of a combination of regulatory support, industry-led demand and end-user commitment. The actual market environment may evolve differently from our expectations and is subject to a variety of external forces such as government regulation and technological development that may impact the market opportunity. New XCF intends to build a nationwide portfolio of SAF and renewable fuels production facilities that use waste- and residue-based feedstocks at competitive production costs. We also intend to implement a fully integrated business model from feedstock supply and production to marketing and sales of SAF. New XCF is currently one of the few publicly traded renewable fuels companies primarily focused on SAF and renewable fuels in the United States, with the stated intention to be a majority SAF producer, distinguishing itself from peers that are predominantly legacy crude oil refiners. We intend to scale and operate clean fuel production facilities engineered to the highest levels of compliance, reliability, and quality. We also own dormant biodiesel plants located in Fort Myers, Florida and Wilson, North Carolina that we intend to further build-out and reconstruct SAF, renewable fuels and/or associated SAF-related infrastructure. We are continuing to evaluate the role of each of the Fort Myers, Florida and Wilson, North Carolina facilities within New XCF’s broader SAF and biofuels value chain.
On
January 23, 2025 and February 19, 2025, Legacy XCF completed its acquisitions (the “Acquisition”) of New Rise SAF
Renewables Limited Liability Company, (“New Rise SAF”) and New Rise Renewables, LLC. (“New Rise Renewables”)
(collectively the “New Rise Entities”), which became wholly owned subsidiaries of XCF Global Capital, Inc.
(“Legacy XCF”). New Rise Renewables, a Delaware limited liability company, was formed on September 23, 2016 for the
purpose of owning
| ● | Inside-the-Fence Logistics: Receipt, handling, and management of feedstock inventory; | |
| ● | Production/Refining: Processing BGN-owned feedstock into Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and Renewable Naphtha; | |
| ● | Storage and Blending: Provision of tankage for feedstocks and finished products, including blending services to meet commercial specifications; and, | |
| ● | Marketing Support: Coordination with BGN’s sales and logistics teams per the existing MOU |

Business Combination
On March 11, 2024, Legacy XCF entered into a business combination agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) with Focus Impact BH3 Acquisition Company (“Focus Impact”), Focus Impact BH3 Newco, Inc., (“NewCo”) a wholly owned subsidiary of Focus Impact, Focus Impact BH3 Merger Sub 1, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of NewCo (“Merger Sub 1”), and Focus Impact BH3 Merger Sub 2, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of NewCo (“Merger Sub 2”). The business combination was effected in two steps: (a) Focus Impact merged with and into Merger Sub 1, with Merger Sub 1 being the surviving entity as a wholly owned subsidiary of NewCo; and (b) immediately after, Merger Sub 2 merged with and into Legacy XCF, with Legacy XCF continuing as a wholly-owned subsidiary of NewCo (these transactions, collectively, the “Business Combination”).
The Business Combination closed on June 6, 2025 (the “Closing Date”). As a result of the Business Combination, NewCo, subsequently changed its name to XCF Global, Inc. and became a new publicly traded company on NASDAQ (Nasdaq: SAFX).
In connection with the closing of the Business Combination:
| ● | All
shares of Class A common stock of Legacy XCF outstanding as of immediately prior to the Business Combination were cancelled and automatically
converted into the right to receive an aggregate | |
| ● | All
| |
| ● |
The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with US GAAP. Accordingly, Legacy XCF was deemed the accounting acquirer (and legal acquiree) and NewCo was treated as the accounting acquiree (and legal acquirer).
Under this method of accounting, the reverse recapitalization was treated as the equivalent of Legacy XCF issuing stock for the net assets (liabilities) of Focus Impact, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Focus Impact are stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. The consolidated assets, liabilities, and results of operations prior to the Business Combination are those of Legacy XCF. All periods prior to the Business Combination have been retrospectively adjusted in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement for the equivalent number of common shares outstanding immediately after the Business Combination to affect the reverse recapitalization. Additionally, all outstanding convertible notes were adjusted in accordance with their terms, which will, among other changes to the convertible note terms, result in proportionate adjustments being made to the number of shares issuable upon exercise of such convertible notes and to the exercise and redemption prices of such convertible notes. The number of shares for all periods prior to the Closing Date have been retrospectively decreased using the exchange ratio that was established (the “Exchange Ratio”).

The following table sets forth the assets and liabilities as of June 6, 2025, that were assumed in connection with the execution of the Business Combination:

| ● | On

The exchange of equity interests between Legacy XCF and the New Rise Entities were executed in contemplation of one another and were treated as a combined transaction, which resulted in the New Rise entities becoming wholly owned subsidiaries of Legacy XCF. The combined transaction was accounted for as a reverse asset acquisition in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805-50, “Business Combinations – Related Issues”. New Rise Entities are considered the accounting acquirers and legal acquirees, and Legacy XCF is the legal acquirer and accounting acquiree.
As
a result of the Acquisition, the historical financial statements of the consolidated company prior to February 19, 2025, are those of
New Rise Renewables and New Rise SAF. The assets and liabilities of Legacy XCF were recorded at fair value as of the acquisition date.
The equity structure presented in the financial statements has been retroactively restated to reflect the legal capital structure of
Legacy XCF, including the shares issued to New Rise Renewables and New Rise SAF in connection with the acquisition. Prior to the recapitalization,
members of the New Rise entities contributed $

Proposed Transaction with Southern Energy Renewables and DevvStream Corp.
On
January 26, 2026, the Company entered into a binding term sheet (the “Term Sheet”) with Southern Energy Renewables, Inc.,
a Louisiana corporation (“Southern”), DevvStream Corp., an Alberta corporation (“DEVS”), and EEME Energy SPV
I LLC (“EEME”), which sets forth the principal terms and conditions of a proposed business combination and related financing
transactions (collectively, the “Proposed Transaction”). Pursuant to the Term Sheet, and subject to the finalization of mutually
agreeable merger structure and definitive transaction documents and ultimately the satisfaction of certain closing conditions, it is
expected that Southern and DEVS will each merge with wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, with Southern and DEVS surviving, and
their respective stockholders receiving shares of Class A common stock of the Company, par value $
In
connection with and to support the Proposed Transaction, the Company agreed to invest $
See Note 18 -- Subsequent Events for additional information concerning this Proposed Transaction.
Liquidity and Going Concern
In accordance with Accounting Standards Update, (“ASU”), 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) (“ASC 205-40”), Management has the responsibility to evaluate whether conditions and/or events raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to meet its future financial obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. This evaluation requires management to perform two steps. First, management must evaluate whether there are conditions and events that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Second, if management concludes that substantial doubt is raised, management is required to consider whether it has plans in place to alleviate that doubt. As required by ASC 205-40, this evaluation shall initially not take into consideration the potential mitigating effects of plans that have not been fully implemented as of the date the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. Disclosures in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are required if management concludes that substantial doubt exists or that its plans alleviate the substantial doubt that was raised.
Since
inception through March 31, 2026, the Company has incurred recurring losses from operations. The loss from operations was $
| 12 |
Our ultimate success is dependent on our ability to obtain additional financing and generate sufficient cash flow to meet the Company’s obligations on a timely basis. The business will require significant capital to sustain operations and significant investments to execute the Company’s long-term business plan. Absent generation of sufficient revenue from the execution of the Company’s long-term business plan, we will need to obtain debt or equity financing, especially if the Company experiences downturns in its business that are more severe or longer than anticipated, or if we experience significant increases in expense levels resulting from being a publicly-traded company or operations. Such additional debt or equity financing may not be available to the Company on favorable terms, if at all.
If we are not able to secure adequate additional funding when needed, we will need to reevaluate the Company’s operating plan and may be forced to make reductions in spending, extend payment terms with suppliers, liquidate assets where possible, or suspend or curtail planned programs or cease operations entirely. These actions could materially impact our business, results of operations and future prospects. There can be no assurance that in the event we require additional financing, such financing will be available on terms that are favorable, or at all. Failure to generate sufficient cash flows from operations, raise additional capital or reduce certain discretionary spending would have a material adverse effect on our ability to achieve our intended business objectives.
Therefore, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue to operate as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. They do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from uncertainty related to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Change in Reporting Presentation
Previously, the Company presented
professional fees payable as separate line items on the face of the condensed consolidated balance sheets. During the first quarter
of 2026, the Company made a voluntary change in accounting presentation to reclassify the amounts to accounts payable and accrued
expenses and other current liabilities. Prior period amounts of $

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.
| 13 |
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
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 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:
SCHEDULE OF CASH EQUIVALENTS AND RESTRICTED CASH
| March 31, | December 31, | |||||||
| 2026 | 2025 | |||||||
| Cash and cash equivalents | $ | $ | ||||||
| Restricted cash | ||||||||
| Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash | $ | $ | ||||||
| 14 |
Accounts Receivable, net
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 March 31, 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 or 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. As a result of Amendment No. 9, the feedstock is not controlled by New Rise Reno until entering the process for conversion and therefore, no raw material is recorded for the feedstock held in storage at the New Rise Reno facility.
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 March 31, 2026,
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 three months ending March 31, 2026, and 2025, no events were identified that would require a quantitative assessment for impairment.
During the three months ending March 31, 2026, and 2025,

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 $
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.
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.
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.
| 16 |
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.
Stock-Based Compensation
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.
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.
| 17 |
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.
Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share
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.
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.
| 18 |
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.
NOTE 3. REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS
The Company’s revenues are generated under an agreement with Phillips 66. Under the Phillips 66 agreement, the Company will sell renewable diesel, sustainable aviation fuel, renewable Naphtha, (collectively, “renewable fuels”) and transfer Renewable Identification Numbers (“RIN”) and Low Carbon Fuel Standard credits (“LCFS”) (collectively “environmental credits”) associated with the generation of the renewable fuels.
Sale of sustainable aviation fuel and Naphtha
As
discussed in Note 1, the Company is currently in the process of constructing plants to process non-food feedstock into renewable fuels.
While the Company owns several plants, none of the facilities have commenced production operations as of March 31, 2026. As the plants
were in the construction phase, all sales of sustainable aviation fuel and Naphtha are considered activities to bring the plant assets
to operating production; therefore, in accordance with ASC 360-10-30-1, sales of sustainable aviation fuel and Naphtha during the construction
phase before operational commencement occurs are capitalized as a reduction of the cost of the plant. For the three months ended March
31, 2026, and March 31, 2025, $
Sale of renewable diesel and environmental credits
The Company generates revenue from the sale of renewable diesel and transfer of related environmental credits when control is transferred to the customer. The amount of consideration to which the Company is entitled for the delivery of renewable diesel and environmental credits is based on pricing established in the contract that is indexed to commodity market prices and quantities sold. Revenue related to the sale of renewable energy and environmental credits is recognized at a point in time when control is transferred to the customer.

NOTE 10. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the balance sheets are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair values. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. The Company determines fair value based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability in the principal or most advantageous market.
When considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the following fair value hierarchy distinguishes between observable and unobservable inputs, which are categorized in one of the following levels:
| ● | Level 1 inputs: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the reporting entity at the measurement date. | |
| ● | Level 2 inputs: Other than quoted prices included in Level 1 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. | |
| ● | Level 3 inputs: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date. |
An asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company has various liabilities which it has elected the fair value option under FASB ASC 825, “Financial Instruments”. These liabilities are classified as Level 3 due to the use of unobservable inputs in the valuation of the liabilities. Gains and losses from the remeasurement of these liabilities are recorded in other income (expense) within the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The following table sets forth the fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities by level within the fair value hierarchy as of March 31, 2026.

NOTE 12. INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for its income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes”, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and tax credit carry forwards.
Due to our cumulative loss position, historical net operating losses (“NOLs”), and other available evidence related to our ability to generate taxable income, we have recorded a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025. Accordingly, we have not recorded a provision for federal income taxes during the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operation in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company has a net operating loss carryforward, however, due to the uncertainty of realization, the Company has provided a full valuation allowance for deferred tax assets resulting from this net operating loss carryforward.
We may have experienced ownership changes as defined by Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) Section 382 in February 2025, and we are in the process of preparing an analysis of the annual limitation on the utilization of our NOLs. We will continue to monitor trading activity in our shares that may cause an additional ownership change, which may ultimately affect our ability to fully utilize our existing NOL carryforwards.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, Legacy XCF acquired New Rise in a transaction accounted for as a reverse acquisition, the Acquisition. As a result of the Acquisition, New Rise was treated as the accounting predecessor for financial reporting purposes.
| 32 |
Prior to the Acquisition, New Rise was not a taxable reporting entity for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes. Upon consummation of the Acquisition, New Rise became a taxable entity and recorded opening deferred tax assets and liabilities as of the acquisition date, net of any valuation allowance.
As a result of the Acquisition, New Rise experienced a tax basis refresh such that historical book-tax timing differences associated with periods prior to the transaction are no longer applicable. Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities recognized in connection with the Acquisition relate to differences between (i) the book carrying amounts of the acquiree’s assets and liabilities and (ii) the tax bases established as a result of the consideration exchanged in the transaction, together with other post-transaction temporary differences and tax attribute carryforwards.
The Company evaluated the realizability of deferred tax assets arising from (i) the change in New Rise’s tax status and (ii) the additional deferred tax asset basis created in the Acquisition. Based on the weight of available positive and negative evidence, including the Company’s cumulative loss position and expectations regarding the generation of future taxable income, management concluded that it is more likely than not that the Company’s deferred tax assets will not be realized. Accordingly, the Company recorded a valuation allowance sufficient to fully offset its deferred tax assets.
As a result of maintaining a full valuation allowance, no income tax expense or benefit was recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations in connection with the change in tax status or the deferred tax impacts of the Acquisition. In addition, no amounts were recorded to additional paid-in capital related to deferred tax assets arising from the transaction.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF NEW XCF
Unless otherwise stated herein or unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “the Company”, “and “New XCF” refer to XCF Global, Inc. (formerly known as Focus Impact BH3 NewCo, Inc.), a Delaware corporation, after giving effect to the Business Combination (as defined below) and following the Closing Date, June 6, 2025. In addition, unless otherwise stated herein or unless the context otherwise requires (i) references to “NewCo” refer to Focus Impact BH3 NewCo, Inc. prior to the Closing Date, (ii) references to “Legacy XCF” refer to XCF Global Capital, Inc., a Nevada corporation, prior to the Closing Date and (iii) references to “Focus Impact” refer to Focus Impact BH3 Acquisition Company, a Delaware corporation. In addition to historical information, this discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that could cause XCF’s actual results to differ materially from management’s expectations. Factors which could cause such differences are discussed herein and set forth in the “Risk Factors” section included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Company Overview
XCF Global, Inc. (“New XCF” or the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, formerly known as Focus Impact BH3 NewCo, Inc. was founded on March 6, 2024, for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination. Subsequent to the Business Combination (as defined below), the name was changed to XCF Global Inc.
In connection with the completion of the Business Combination, Legacy XCF became a wholly owned subsidiary of New XCF. Legacy XCF was formed in January 2023, was founded to develop, operate and invest in renewable energy assets and production facilities and will continue those initiatives and business activities as the primary operating subsidiary of New XCF. Throughout 2023, Legacy XCF identified acquisition targets in Nevada, Florida, and North Carolina as the foundation for the Company’s first production of sustainable aviation fuel (“SAF”), a synthetic kerosene derived from waste- and residue-based feedstocks such as waste oils and fats, green and municipal waste, and non-food crops and, currently, blended with conventional Jet-A fuel. We are committed to reducing the world’s carbon footprint by meeting the growing demand for renewable fuels and will concentrate on the production of clean-burning, sustainable biofuels, principally SAF. Though we are focused on promoting and accelerating the decarbonization of the aviation industry through SAF, we may, opportunistically, produce other renewable products such as renewable diesel, a renewable fuel, and bio-based glycerol, also known as natural glycerin, which is used in healthcare, food, and cosmetics industries. We believe there is a market opportunity in the aviation and renewable sectors as a result of a combination of regulatory support, industry-led demand and end-user commitment. The actual market environment may evolve differently from our expectations and is subject to a variety of external forces such as government regulation and technological development that may impact the market opportunity. XCF intends to build a nationwide portfolio of SAF and renewable fuels production facilities that use waste-and residue-based feedstocks at competitive production costs. We also intend to implement a fully integrated business model from feedstock supply and production to marketing and sales of SAF. XCF is currently one of the few publicly traded renewable fuels companies primarily focused on SAF and renewable fuels in the United States, with the stated intention to be a majority SAF producer, distinguishing itself from peers that are predominantly legacy crude oil refiners.
We intend to scale and operate clean fuel production facilities engineered to the highest levels of compliance, reliability, and quality. The Company owns New Rise Reno Renewables LLC, which owns and operates a renewable fuels facility, New Rise Reno, in McCarren, Nevada. In February 2025, New Rise Reno started its ramp-up process and began initial production of SAF and renewable naphtha (a byproduct in SAF production). First deliveries of near SAF and renewable naphtha began in March 2025. During the initial phase of production ramp-up, New Rise Reno production facility operated at approximately 50% of nameplate capacity. Until SAF production is at nameplate capacity, New Rise Reno is not deemed to be an operating facility and classifies as under construction until final project acceptance under New Rise’s license agreement with Axens North America under the original intention of the SAF conversion. Such final project acceptance has not yet been completed. While ramp-up processes are being undertaken and until final plant acceptance, management has made the determination to temporarily produce and sell renewable diesel, a byproduct of SAF production, which can be achieved at approximately 2,000 barrels per day, which is approximately 20% below nameplate capacity, and without any additional modifications to the facility. In May 2025, New Rise Reno began selling renewable diesel under its Supply and Offtake Agreement with Phillips 66 (the “P66 Agreement”). The P66 Agreement was canceled on May 1, 2026 and the Company entered into a a Renewable Fuel Tolling Agreement with BGN, an independent global energy and commodities group, pursuant to which it is anticipated that the Company will provide the following services to BGN both at its New Rise Reno facility and, potentially, a second, future XCF facility:
| ● | Inside-the-Fence Logistics: Receipt, handling, and management of feedstock inventory; | |
| ● | Production/Refining: Processing BGN-owned feedstock into Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and Renewable Naphtha; | |
| ● | Storage and Blending: Provision of tankage for feedstocks and finished products, including blending services to meet commercial specifications; and, | |
| ● | Marketing Support: Coordination with BGN’s sales and logistics teams per the existing MOU |
| 40 |
We also own dormant biodiesel plants located in Fort Myers, Florida and Wilson, North Carolina that we intend to further build-out and reconstruct into SAF, renewable fuels and/or associated SAF-related infrastructure. The Company is continuing to evaluate the role of each of the Fort Myers, Florida and Wilson, North Carolina facilities within our broader SAF and biofuels value chain.
Company Formation and Initial Acquisitions
New XCF, formerly known as Focus Impact BH3 NewCo, Inc., was founded on March 6, 2024, for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination. Subsequent to the Business Combination (as defined below), the name was changed to XCF Global Inc.
On October 31, 2023, Legacy XCF entered into an asset purchase agreement with Southeast Renewables, LLC (“Southeast Renewables”) to acquire its Wilson, North Carolina biodiesel plant assets for an aggregate purchase price of $100,000,000. Legacy XCF issued Southeast Renewables 7,700,000 shares of Legacy XCF at an agreed conversion price of $10 per share ($77,000,000) and issued a convertible promissory note (“Southeast Renewables Convertible Note”) in principal amount of $23,000,000, with a maturity date of October 31, 2024. The Southeast Renewables Convertible Note accrues interest at the per annum rate of 8%. The Southeast Renewables Convertible Note can be converted into shares of Legacy XCF common stock based on the outstanding principal and interest, divided by the conversion price. The conversion price prior to a change of control is $10, and subsequent to a change of control is equal to the volume weighted average price of the shares of common stock for the 20 days prior to the notice of conversion.
On December 29, 2023, Southeast Renewables exercised its right to convert the Southeast Renewables Convertible Note principal balance of $23,000,000 plus accrued interest of $297,425 into 2,329,743 shares of Legacy XCF common stock.
At the closing of the Business Combination, the 7,700,000 shares and 2,329,743 shares of Legacy XCF common stock issued to Southeast Renewables were automatically converted into shares of New XCF Class A common stock at an exchange ratio of approximately 0.68627. The 7,700,000 and 2,329,743 Legacy XCF shares converted into 5,284,301 and 1,598,839 shares of New XCF Class A common stock upon closing.
On October 31, 2023, Legacy XCF also entered into an asset purchase agreement with Good Steward Biofuels FL, LLC (“Good Steward”), to acquire its Fort Myers, Florida biodiesel plant assets. Legacy XCF issued Southeast Renewables, the parent company of Good Steward, 9,800,000 shares of XCF common stock as partial consideration for the purchase, and also assumed certain liabilities, including a $356,426 loan made by GL Part SPV I, LLC (“GL”) to Southeast Renewables. GL was a shareholder of Legacy XCF and owns membership interests in Southeast Renewables. The purchase price was $100,000,000 less $200,000 in notes payable, and loans assumed by Legacy XCF using a conversion price of $10 per share.
At the closing of the Business Combination, the 9,800,000 shares of Legacy XCF common stock issued to Good Steward were automatically converted into shares of New XCF common stock at an exchange ratio of approximately 0.68627. The 9,800,000 Legacy XCF shares converted into 6,725,474 shares of New XCF Class A common stock upon closing.
The Wilson, North Carolina plant and Fort Myers, Florida plant have been non-operational for over three years and five years, respectively.
| 41 |
On January 23, 2025, and February 19, 2025, Legacy XCF completed its acquisitions (the “Acquisition”) of New Rise SAF Renewables Limited Liability Company, (“New Rise SAF”) and New Rise Renewables, LLC. (“New Rise Renewables”) (collectively the “New Rise Entities”), which became wholly owned subsidiaries of Legacy XCF. New Rise Renewables, a Delaware limited liability company, was formed on September 23, 2016, for the purpose of owning 100% of New Rise Renewables Reno, LLC (“New Rise Reno”). New Rise Renewables is focused on producing renewable fuels to lower the world’s carbon footprint by meeting the growing demand for renewable fuels and will concentrate on the production of clean-burning, sustainable biofuels, principally SAF. The New Rise Reno facility is built on a 10-acre parcel located within McCarran, Nevada.
Recent Developments
Transactions with New Rise
On December 8, 2023, Legacy XCF entered into the New Rise Renewables MIPA with RESC Renewables Holdings LLC (“RESC”) to acquire all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of New Rise Renewables for an aggregate purchase price of $1,100,000,000 less acquired liabilities, comprised of incurred indebtedness, of $112,580,000. Consideration for the purchase was paid at closing of the Acquisitions by delivery of a convertible promissory note (the “New Rise Convertible Note”) in principal amount of $100,000,000 and issuance of 88,750,000 shares of Legacy XCF common stock. The New Rise Convertible Note was non-interest bearing and had a maturity date of twelve months after the date the note was issued in connection with the closing of the Acquisition. Once issued, the New Rise Convertible Note can be converted into shares of Legacy XCF common stock based on the outstanding principal, divided by the conversion price. The New Rise Renewables MIPA provides that the conversion price will be equal to the average price of the shares of common stock for the 10 days prior to and 10 days subsequent to the notice of conversion. However, in connection with the execution of a Company Support Agreement by RESC and Randy Soule subsequent to December 31, 2023, it was agreed that the conversion price would be set at $10 per share when the New Rise Convertible Note is issued.
On December 8, 2023, Legacy XCF also entered into the New Rise SAF Renewables MIPA with Randy Soule and GL Part SPV I, LLC to acquire all the issued and outstanding membership interests of New Rise SAF Renewables for an aggregate purchase price of $200,000,000.
In October 2024, Legacy XCF filed a pre-merger notification with the FTC to comply with the HSR Act and Rules. On November 15, 2024, the thirty-day waiting period expired. Legacy XCF’s acquisition of New Rise SAF was completed on January 23, 2025, and Legacy XCF’s acquisition of New Rise Renewables was completed on February 19, 2025.
On January 31, 2025, Legacy XCF issued a promissory note with a principal amount of $500,000 to Innovativ Media Group, Inc. as part of a financing arrangement. Proceeds from the note were provided to New Rise Renewables as a note payable to Legacy XCF and will be included as indebtedness of New Rise Renewables, which resulted in a reduction of the number of XCF shares issuable upon the closing of the New Rise Renewables acquisition.
New Rise Renewables SAF
During Q4 2024, Legacy XCF issued three convertible notes to GL Part SPV I, LLC in the amounts of $1,000,000, $1,090,000, and $250,000. Proceeds from the convertible notes were utilized to purchase preferred membership units of New Rise SAF Renewables LLC in the amounts of 100,000 preferred membership units, 109,000 preferred membership units, and 25,000 preferred membership units, respectively. On January 14, 2025, Legacy XCF issued one convertible note to GL Part SPV I, LLC for $200,000. Proceeds from the convertible note were utilized to purchase preferred membership units of New Rise SAF Renewables LLC in the amount of 20,000 preferred membership units. The preferred membership units had preferential treatment upon a liquidation event before any amounts are paid to the common membership units and receive five times the amount contributed as capital. As a result, the total contributed capital of $2,540,000 was netted against the purchase price of New Rise SAF Renewables by $12,700,000 upon closing. On January 23, 2025, in connection with the closing of the New Rise SAF acquisition, the aggregate purchase price of $200,000,000 was reduced by the five times liquidation preference on contributed capital, resulting in total consideration at closing was approximately $187,300,000 or 18,730,000 shares of Legacy XCF common stock.
| 42 |
As a result, Randy Soule was issued 15,036,170 shares of XCF common stock in exchange for his membership units, and GL was issued 3,693,830 shares of XCF common stock in exchange for its membership units and after consideration of its five times liquidation preference.
At the closing of the Business Combination, the 15,036,170 shares of Legacy XCF common stock issued to Randy Soule and the 3,693,830 shares of Legacy XCF common stock issued to GL were automatically converted into shares of New XCF Class A common stock at an exchange ratio of approximately 0.68627. The 15,036,170 Legacy XCF shares converted into 10,318,915 shares of New XCF Class A common stock, and the 3,693,830 shares converted into 2,534,975 shares of New XCF Class A common stock upon closing.
New Rise Renewables
On February 19, 2025, Legacy XCF completed the acquisition of New Rise Renewables subject to additional post-closing conditions. On February 19, 2025, the aggregate purchase price of $1.1 billion was reduced by $118,700,000, which represented principal and interest on New Rise Renewable’s outstanding debt obligations to a financial institution and two notes payable to Legacy XCF. As a result, RESC Renewables Holdings, LLC (“RESC Renewables”) was issued 88,126,200 shares of Legacy XCF common stock in exchange for its membership units. In connection with a consulting agreement between RESC Renewables and GL, GL was entitled to receive 4,406,310 shares of the Legacy XCF common stock issued to RESC Renewables. In addition, pursuant to the New Rise Renewables MIPA, Legacy XCF issued a convertible promissory note to RESC Renewables in principal amount of $100,000,000, of which $51,746,680 in principal amount was subsequently assigned from RESC Renewables to Encore DEC, LLC, an entity 100% owned by Randy Soule, which was subsequently cancelled on May 30, 2025. The entire principal amount of the promissory note was held by RESC Renewables prior to the merger with Focus Impact BH3 Acquisition Corp.
On May 30, 2025, the aggregate purchase price was updated to reflect actual New Rise liabilities of $126,700,000 compared to $118,700,000 in connection with the initial closing on February 19, 2025. As a result, the total shares issued in connection with the acquisition were adjusted to be 87,331,951 of Legacy XCF common stock, of which RESC Renewables received 82,965,533 and GL received 4,366,598 shares of Legacy XCF common stock.
At the closing of the Business Combination the 82,965,533 shares of Legacy XCF common stock issued to RESC Renewables and the 4,366,598 shares of Legacy XCF common stock issued to GL were automatically converted into shares of New XCF Class A common stock at an exchange ratio of approximately 0.68627. The 82,965,533 Legacy XCF shares converted into 56,936,990 shares of New XCF Class A common stock, and the 4,366,598 shares converted into 2,996,678 shares of New XCF Class A common stock upon closing.
Immediately prior to the merger with Focus Impact BH3 Acquisition Company, Randy Soule (directly, or indirectly through his ownership interests in RESC and New Rise SAF Renewables) controlled approximately 104,551,524 shares of XCF common stock, representing 51.8% of the issued and outstanding shares of XCF common stock, assuming full conversion of the $100,000,000 New Rise Convertible Note.
Renewable Fuels Production
XCF’s current production facility in Reno, Nevada was converted to SAF production in October 2024 and began initial production of SAF and renewable naphtha (a byproduct in SAF production) in February 2025. First deliveries of neat SAF and renewable naphtha produced at New Rise Reno began in March 2025 under our existing Supply and Offtake Agreement with Phillips 66 (the “P66 Agreement”).
| 43 |
During the initial phase of production ramp-up of SAF, the Reno production facility operated at approximately 50% capacity for SAF. Our New Rise Reno team has been reviewing the catalyst processing for SAF to meet nameplate capacity. Until SAF production is at nameplate capacity, New Rise is not deemed to be an operating business and classifies as under construction. The project will be under construction until final project acceptance is completed as per the agreement between New Rise and Axens North America which is working on SAF conversion. Due to the conversion to SAF and associated testing of the facility, we have observed variable operating performance which has impacted the ability of the plant to operate at full capacity. While ramp-up processes are being undertaken and until final acceptance, management has made the determination to temporarily produce renewable diesel which can be achieved at approximately 2,000 barrels per day, which is approximately 20% below nameplate capacity, without any additional modifications to the facility. Management regards the production of renewable diesel as an interim derivative during the ramp-up process of the ongoing SAF conversion process. As such, we are recording inventory associated with renewable diesel but due to the negative margins during the SAF conversion phase, the net realizable value of the inventory is zero. If the plant was configured solely for renewable diesel production, the facility would operate at higher production rates due to the specific requirements of catalyst required for renewable diesel production.
We currently expect to resume SAF production as early as the second quarter of 2026, although we cannot assure you when SAF production will resume, and when it does resume, when or whether the Reno production facility will be able to produce SAF at full capacity. Any delay beyond the second quarter of 2026 in our ability to resume SAF or renewable diesel production and/or any delay in our ability to operate the Reno production facility at full nameplate capacity for SAF production will adversely affect our revenues and profitability.
Greater Nevada Credit Union Loan
New Rise Reno operates our existing production facility in Reno, Nevada. New Rise Reno has four notes payable outstanding, in aggregate principal amount of $112,580,000, to Greater Nevada Credit Union (“GNCU”), as the successor to Jefferson Financial Federal Credit Union (the “GNCU Loan”). The GNCU Loan was underwritten by certain guarantees issued by the United States Department of Agriculture (the “USDA”) under the Biorefinery, Renewable Chemical and Biobased Product Manufacturing Assistance Program, which guaranteed 100% of the principal amount of the notes evidencing the GNCU Loan (the “USDA Guaranty”). Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the USDA Guaranty, the GNCU Loan is secured by a priority first lien on all assets of the project, except for inventory and accounts receivable, which may be used by New Rise Reno for routine business purposes so long as New Rise Reno is not in default of the GNCU Loan. The USDA must approve, inter alia, the accounts agreement, any issuance of additional debt by New Rise Reno, the transfer or sale of New Rise Reno assets or collateral, lien priorities, the substitution, release or foreclosure on the collateral, and GNCU’s exercise of any rights it has relating to the GNCU Loan, including those rights provided in the notes evidencing the GNCU Loan and the other transaction documents relating to the GNCU Loan. In addition, New Rise Renewables is a guarantor of the GNCU Loan.
On March 28, 2025, counsel for GNCU and Greater Nevada Commercial Lending, LLC (the servicer for the GNCU Loan) provided notice to New Rise Reno asserting that an event of default has occurred with respect to the GNCU Loan as a result of New Rise Reno’s failure to make required minimum monthly payments. The letter also demands that New Rise Reno and New Rise take immediate steps to bring the GNCU Loan current and to cure any and all other non-payment-related defaults that may exist, as well as a demand that New Rise Reno and New Rise provide evidence sufficient for GNCU to determine that it remains secure and that the prospect of repayment of the GNCU Loan has not been impaired by any material adverse change in New Rise Reno’s financial condition, or in the financial condition of New Rise, as a guarantor of the GNCU Loan. GNCU has demanded that the GNCU Loan be brought current, including payment of all late charges, no later than close of business on May 27, 2025. As of the date of this filing, New Rise Reno has not made payment of all the amounts demanded. As of March 31, 2026, the amount required to bring the GNCU Loan current is approximately $32,500,000, inclusive of principal and interest, excluding approximately $2,800,000 of penalties/late charges.
GNCU’s rights and remedies in connection with an event of default include acceleration of the unpaid principal amount of the GNCU Loan, and/or possession, control, sale, and foreclosure on any collateral, including all rights and interests in and to the real property on which the SAF production facility is located (including any after-acquired fixtures, equipment and improvements to the production facility) under the terms of the Ground Lease by and between Twain GL XXVIII, LLC (“Twain”), as the landlord, and New Rise, as the tenant, dated March 29, 2022 (the “Ground Lease”), which is discussed below under “Twain Ground Lease.” GNCU would be obligated to obtain USDA approval in the event that GNCU seeks to exercise any rights it has under the GNCU Loan, including GNCU’s rights prescribed in the notes evidencing the GNCU Loan and related loan documents (including any attempt to foreclose or sell any collateral). The notes also permit GNCU to refrain from taking any action on any of the notes, collateral or any guarantee with the approval of USDA.
| 44 |
On August 6, 2025, GNCU counsel sent a letter to New Rise Reno notifying New Rise Reno of (1) additional events of default under the existing loan documents relating to the GNCU Loan, (2) failure to timely cure the ongoing payment default on the GNCU Loan by the deadline set forth in the demand to cure addressed to New Rise Reno dated March 3, 2025, and (3) the acceleration of the full unpaid balances of the GNCU Loan pursuant to GNCU’s rights under the loan documents relating to the GNCU Loan. The acceleration notice indicated that the amount owing as of August 5, 2025, excluding applicable fees, costs, and penalties, is $130,671,882. Subsequent to the notification, counsel for the Company and counsel for GNCU engaged in discussions regarding the notification, and on August 27, 2025, the Company, on behalf of New Rise Reno and GNCU entered into a Pre-Negotiation Letter outlining the terms under which the parties would engage in discussions for the purpose of entering into letter agreements, meetings, conferences, and written communications with respect to the outstanding default notice and balance due to GNCU. The Pre-Negotiation letter does not obligate any party to take any action with respect to the GNCU Loan and GNCU expressly reserved its rights under the loan documents relating to the GNCU Loan.
On August 27, 2025, the Company and New Rise Reno received a notice from GNCU withdrawing the August 6, 2025, notice of acceleration (the “Notice of Withdrawal”). Besides withdrawing the notice of acceleration, the Notice of Withdrawal specifies that GNCU does not withdraw, modify, or waive the notice of additional events of default and failure to timely cure ongoing payment default set forth in the August 6, 2025, notice of acceleration, which conditions remain in effect. GNCU also does not withdraw or modify the March 6, 2025, demand to cure.
If GNCU pursues one or more of its available remedies under the GNCU Loan, the notes and related loan documents and is successful in exercising its possessory or foreclosure remedies, or is successful in obtaining a judgment requiring New Rise Reno, New Rise or XCF to pay penalties and damages in addition to amounts New Rise Reno may owe under the GNCU Loan, such events would materially disrupt our operations and impair our ability to generate revenue, and, in the case of GNCU taking possession of the facility and/or our assets, could result in a temporary or permanent cessation of our operations at the New Rise Reno production facility. Any of these results would have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition and would materially impair our ability to execute our business plan. In addition, the existence of defaults under the GNCU Loan and the Ground Lease could make it more difficult for the Company to obtain financing on acceptable terms, or at all, which would materially impair our ability to execute our business plan.
XCF is in active discussions with GNCU to resolve the matters addressed in GNCU’s notice to New Rise Reno, including the possibility of a potential forbearance or modified loan payment schedule while XCF seeks and secures financing and ramps-up SAF production so as to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to be able to make payments under the GNCU Loan, including any past due loan payments and penalties. XCF is actively evaluating financing alternatives with other financial institutions and investors that would allow the re- financing of the GNCU Loan and the Ground Lease payments (as discussed below). However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to reach agreement with GNCU or Twain to resolve these matters on acceptable terms, or at all, or obtain sufficient financing to allow us to re-finance the GNCU Loan and Ground Lease payments and also execute our business plan.
Twain Ground Lease
New Rise Reno leases the land on which the New Rise Reno production facility is located pursuant to a ground lease evidenced by the Ground Lease effective as of March 29, 2022, between Twain, as the landlord and New Rise Reno, as the tenant. Pursuant to the Ground Lease, New Rise Reno is obligated to pay Twain base and supplemental rent quarterly in amounts set forth therein. The land was acquired by Twain from New Rise Reno pursuant to the terms of a Purchase and Sale Agreement dated as of March 29, 2022, by and between Twain, as the buyer and New Rise Reno, as the seller.
On April 18, 2025, and April 30, 2025, counsel to Twain provided notice to New Rise Reno asserting that New Rise Reno is in default of the terms of the Ground Lease for its failure to make certain payments that are due and owing thereunder. In the notices, Twain sought immediate payment from New Rise Reno to cure the claimed default. These notices were in addition to prior correspondence directed to New Rise Reno from counsel on behalf of Twain dated December 7, 2023, and June 21, 2024, also asserting to certain defaults under the Ground Lease relating to failures to make required payments. The April 18, 2025, notice demanded payment by April 28, 2025, and the April 30, 2025, notice demanded immediate payment. As of March 31, 2026, the amount required to satisfy the amounts owing under the Ground Lease totaled approximately $34,330,000, comprised of (i) $20,630,000 of lease payments and (ii) $13,700,000 of late fees and penalties.
| 45 |
Twain’s remedies in the case of an event to default under the Ground Lease include the right to terminate the lease, the right to bring an action to recover the amount of all unpaid rent earned as of the date of termination or in the amount of all unpaid rent for the balance of the term of the lease, and to seek any other amount necessary to compensate Twain for New Rise Reno’s failure to perform its obligations under the Ground Lease. Twain’s available remedies also include the right to take possession of, operate, and/or relet the premises. As discussed above regarding the GNCU Loan, Twain’s secured interests are subordinate to those of GNCU. If Twain were to exercise its possessory or foreclosure remedies under the Ground Lease, it would need to seek approval from and coordinate with GNCU, which in turn would need to consult with USDA. Alternatively, Twain could file legal action against New Rise Reno, seeking all unpaid rent and damages.
If Twain pursues one or more of its available remedies under the Ground Lease and is successful in exercising its possessory or foreclosure remedies, or is successful in obtaining a judgment requiring New Rise Reno or XCF to pay penalties and damages in addition to amounts New Rise Reno may owe under the Ground Lease, such events would materially disrupt our operations and impair our ability to generate revenue, and, in the case of Twain taking possession of the facility and/or our assets, could result in a temporary or permanent cessation of our operations at the production facility. Any of these results would have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition and would materially impair our ability to execute our business plan. In addition, the existence of defaults under the GNCU Loan and the Ground Lease could make it more difficult for us to obtain financing on acceptable terms, or at all, which would materially impair our ability to execute our business plan.

In consideration of Twain’s forbearance, XCF issued 4,000,000 shares of XCF Common Stock to Twain and use its reasonable best efforts to file a registration statement on appropriate form with the SEC to register the shares for resale.

On April 27, 2026, New Rise Renewables Reno, LLC entered into a second Forbearance Agreement with Twain. The terms of the Forbearance Agreement call for, among other things, the issuance of 4,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock and the monthly payment of the greater of i) $150,000 and ii) 40% of the free cash flow generated from the operations of New Rise from the prior calendar month.

In the event that the aggregate net proceeds received by the Landlord from the sale of the landlord shares exceeds the aggregate amount of principal, interest, penalties and repurchase premium owed by the Company to Twain pursuant to the lease agreement the Landlord shall immediately transfer the remaining Landlord Shares to XCF.
As discussed above with respect to the GNCU Loan, XCF is actively evaluating financing alternatives with other financial institutions and investors that would allow the re-financing of the GNCU Loan and the Ground Lease payments.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company entered into additional convertible promissory notes and incurred late fees on financial liability as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, resulting in additional interest expense being incurred during the period.
Other income (expenses), net
We earned income equal to $316,019 and incurred expenses equal to $(17,011), for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, respectively. Other expenses primarily consist of gain on settlement of accounts payable and discount on notes issued.

On May 6, 2026, the Company and Encore entered into a payable acknowledgement and settlement agreement, pursuant to which approximately $16,701,982 of outstanding notes and accounts payable due to Encore will be settled through the issuance of 37,033,386 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001. Encore provides EPC services to the Company. Encore is 100% owned by Randy Soule, the majority shareholder of the Company, and has provided feedstock degumming hydrotreater off gas conservation system construction services and sustainable aviation fuel conversion services to New Rise Reno.
Debt Conversion Agreements
On May 14, 2026, the Company entered into Debt Conversion Agreements with various other parties. The agreements call for, among other things, a conversion price of $0.451 per share. The debt conversion includes six individuals and business entities providing for the conversion of $917,163 in debt for 2,033,621 shares of the Company’s Class A Common stock. When the six participants are included with the Encore debt conversion described above, the debt conversion represents $17,619,220 in debt for 39,067,007 shares of the Company’s Class A Common stock.
Advario Texas City, LLC Note Payable
On April 30, 2026, New Rise Renewables, LLC entered into a note with Advario Texas City, LLC (“Advario”) for $1,200,000. An amount of $25,000 was paid upon the execution of the note. An additional payment of $25,000 is due on July 1, 2026, or the operational start of the plant, whichever occurs first. The note calls for monthly installments of $50,000 beginning on May 15, 2026 until the note is paid in full.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We continually monitor and manage cash flow to assess the liquidity necessary to fund operations and capital projects. We manage our capital resources and adjust them to account for changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust our capital resources, we may, where necessary, control the amount of working capital, pursue financing, or manage the timing of our capital expenditures. As of March 31, 2026, we had a working capital shortage of $240,613,017 (current assets of $4,225,054 less current liabilities of $244,838,071). The significant working capital deficient is primarily due to the notes payable that have been reclassified as current notes payable. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Subsequent to March 31, 2026, the Company entered into agreements expected to partially reduce this working capital deficit through the settlement of approximately $16,702,057 million in outstanding payables due Encore through the issuance of approximately 37,000,000 million shares of Class A Common Stock. In addition, the Company restructured a payable through the issuance of a new $1,200,000 million note payable to Advario Texas City, LLC, which requires monthly installments of $50,000 beginning May 15, 2026.
The Company’s ultimate success is dependent on its ability to obtain additional financing and generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis. The Company’s business will require significant capital to sustain operations and significant investments to execute its long-term business plan. Absent generation of sufficient revenue from the execution of the Company’s long-term business plan, the Company will need to obtain debt or equity financing, especially if the Company experiences downturns, delays in production, or other operating disruptions in its business that are more severe or longer than anticipated, or if the Company experiences significant increases in expense levels resulting from being a publicly-traded company or from operations. Such additional debt or equity financing may not be available to the Company on favorable terms, if at all. If we do raise additional capital through public or private equity or convertible debt offerings, the ownership interest of our existing stockholders will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of holders of our Class A common stock. If we raise additional capital through debt financing, we may be subject to covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures, or paying dividends.
The Company continues to actively pursue additional capital resources. Although the Company remains optimistic about possibilities, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising additional capital.

Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of available funds will depend on many factors, including those set forth in the section titled “Risk Factors”.
Current cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2026, excluding restricted cash, totaled $1,047,539. We do not believe cash on hand will be adequate to satisfy obligations in the ordinary course of business over the next twelve months. Management has assessed the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to raise sufficient funds to pay ongoing operating expenditures and meet its obligations over the next twelve months. Based on this assessment, there are material uncertainties about the business that may cast doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company historically was able to obtain certain bridge financing from a significant shareholder (GL Part SPV I, LLC) to fund its operations, but there is no ongoing commitment or obligation to provide such financing in the future. The Company is currently actively seeking new sources of financing, which will enable the Company to meet its obligations for the twelve-month period from the date the financial statements were available to be issued. The financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments that are required to realize assets and discharge liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those reflected in the financial statements. Such adjustments could be material.
The table below presents our cash flows during the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, respectively:

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Our board of directors have overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of our risk management policies on an annual basis. Management identifies and evaluates our financial risks and is charged with the responsibility of establishing controls and procedures to ensure financial risks are mitigated in accordance with the approved policies.
Our financial instruments consist of cash, related party receivables, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, related party payables, notes and interest payable, certain convertible notes payable, and professional fees payable. The fair value of our financial instruments approximates their carrying value due to the short-term nature of the financial instruments.
Our risk exposures are summarized below:
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. Our credit risk is primarily attributable to our liquid financial assets, including cash. Our financial asset with maximum exposure to credit risk is subscription receivable. We hold cash with a major financial institution, therefore minimizing our credit risk related to cash.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that we will not be able to meet financial obligations as they fall due. We manage liquidity by maintaining adequate cash balances and by raising equity financing. We have no assurance that such financings will be available on favorable terms in the future. In general, we attempt to avoid exposure to liquidity risk by obtaining corporate financing through the issuance of shares.
As of March 31, 2026, we had cash, excluding restricted cash, of $1,047,539 to settle current liabilities of $244,838,071 which fall due for payment within twelve months of the balance sheet date.
Refer to “Liquidity and Capital Resources” for further discussion of liquidity risk and the measures we are taking to mitigate this risk.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect our income or the value of holdings or financial instruments. As of March 31, 2026, we had cash of $1,047,539 denominated in US dollars, which we believe does not have significant market risk exposure. Our Southeast Convertible Note and other promissory notes have a fixed interest rate; therefore, we are not exposed to market risk for changing interest rates.
Inflation Risk
We do not believe that inflation had a significant impact on the results of our operations for the period presented in our financial statements. Nonetheless, if our costs were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs, and our inability or failure to do so could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Capital Management
Capital is comprised of our stockholders’ equity and any debt that we may issue. Our objectives when managing capital are to maintain financial strength and to protect our ability to meet ongoing liabilities, to continue as a going concern, to maintain creditworthiness, and to maximize returns for our stockholders over the long term. Protecting the ability to pay current and future liabilities includes maintaining capital above minimum regulatory levels, current financial strength rating requirements, and internally determined capital guidelines, and calculated risk management levels. We manage capital structure to maximize financial flexibility by making adjustments in response to changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets and business opportunities. We do not presently utilize any quantitative measures to monitor its capital, but rather we rely on our management expertise to sustain the future development of the business. Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given our size, is reasonable. We are not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. The preparation of our financial statements and related disclosures requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, costs and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in our financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events and various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
While our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in the notes to our financial statements, we believe that the following accounting policies are those most critical to the judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements.
Inventory
Inventories are comprised of raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods, and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined by 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. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $0 and $38,752 of raw material and finished goods inventory, net of reserves, respectively. As of March 31, 2025, the Company did not hold any inventory.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets, including construction in progress, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset group to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset group. If an asset group is determined not to be recoverable, the asset group’s carrying value is considered to be impaired. 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. During the periods ended March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, no triggering events were identified that would require a quantitative assessment. During the periods ended March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, no impairment expense was recognized.
Income Taxes
The Company’s income tax policy is considered critical due to the significant judgment required in evaluating deferred tax assets, assessing valuation allowances, and estimating liabilities for uncertain tax positions. Management regularly reviews the realizability of deferred tax assets and adjusts valuation allowances accordingly. The Company also evaluates tax positions taken in filed returns and records reserves where appropriate.
Construction in progress (“CIP”)
We incur costs related to the development and construction of our projects. Development costs are expensed as incurred. Once management concludes that construction of a project is probable and sufficient development milestones have been achieved, certain directly attributable costs are capitalized as construction in progress and depreciated over the useful life of the related asset once placed into service.
Determining whether a project has reached the point at which construction is considered probable requires significant judgment and depends on factors such as regulatory approvals, financing availability, project economics, and management’s intent and ability to proceed. If management’s judgments regarding project viability change, capitalized costs could be written off, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial results.
| 61 |
Off-balance Sheet Arrangements
We have not entered into any material off-balance sheet arrangements such as guarantee contracts, contingent interests in assets transferred to unconsolidated entities, derivative financial obligations, or with respect to any obligations under a variable interest equity arrangement.
Emerging Growth Company Status
After the closing of the Business Combination, the Company qualifies 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.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
As a smaller reporting company, the Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item pursuant to Regulation S-K.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
Management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of such period because of material weaknesses in internal controls discussed below.
For Legacy XCF, the following material weaknesses were present at December 31, 2025 and have not been remediated as of March 31, 2026: (a) lack of controls for the review and approval of journal entries and (b) lack of formal risk assessment process to reduce the risk of material misstatement and (c) controls not designed to ensure the financial reporting process operates effectively, including accounting for the Business Combination and (d) inappropriate design and operation of IT general controls and (e) there were errors in the calculation, presentation, and disclosure of deferred taxes. Our remediation plans regarding material weaknesses are addressed below.
| 62 |
The Company is in the process of integrating New Rise into its overall internal control framework. New Rise had the following material weaknesses as of December 31, 2025 and have not been remediated as of March 31, 2026; (a) lack of segregation of duties within the accounting function and (b) inappropriate design and operation of IT general controls The above material weakness did not result in a material misstatement of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, however, it could result in a misstatement of our account balances or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement that would not be prevented or detected.
Remediation Activities
Management, with the oversight of the Audit Committee, is currently taking actions to remediate the material weaknesses and is implementing additional processes and controls to address the underlying causes associated with the material weaknesses described above. These efforts include:
| ● | To alleviate the lack of a formal journal entry review and approval process, the Company will be implementing Oracle NetSuite. We plan to utilize workflow steps to ensure all journal entries are reviewed and approved before posting to the general ledger. | |
| ● | To alleviate the lack of a formal risk assessment the Company will establish a formalized governance program and implement an appropriate risk assessment process at the board level. | |
| ● | To alleviate the material weakness that controls were not designed to ensure the financial reporting process operates effectively, the Company has hired outside consultants to assist with technical accounting and SEC reporting, and management has hired experienced accounting and finance personnel to strengthen the internal accounting function. | |
| ● | To alleviate the material weakness related to IT general controls, the Company is in the process of implementing Oracle NetSuite. The Company will also design and implement IT general controls related to the Company’s financial reporting processes. | |
| ● | To alleviate the errors related to deferred taxes, the Company has hired outside tax consultants to assist with the preparation of the tax provision. These additional resources along with the new internal personnel hired will help ensure proper presentation and disclosure of taxes in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. | |
| ● | To alleviate the lack of segregation of duties within the accounting function, the Company will hire additional accounting personnel and implement Oracle NetSuite to configure workflow approvals to address segregation of duties in the accounting processes |
As we progress through these remediation efforts, management is actively involved in ongoing assessments and reviews, with oversight from the audit committee of our Board of Directors. Whenever additional enhancements are needed to further improve the control environment and address material weaknesses, we perform assessments to determine their overall impact. We believe that these actions, collectively, will remediate the material weaknesses identified. However, we will not be able to conclude that we have completely remediated the material weaknesses until the applicable controls are fully implemented and operated for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through formal testing, that the remediated controls are operating effectively. We will continue to monitor the design and effectiveness of these and other processes, procedures, and controls and will make any further changes management deems appropriate.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
An arbitration claim against the Company with the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) was formally served on May 14, 2026 pursuant to the Employment Arbitration Rules of AAA, seeking to recover certain amounts pursuant to an employment agreement by and between the Company and Mihir Dange on the basis that XCF failed to honor contractual agreements with its former Chief Executive Officer, Mihir Dange (the “Arbitration Claim”). The Arbitration Claim was filed in addition to a claim filed with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, under Section 806 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, on April 8, 2026. The Company has held settlement discussions with Mr. Dange. The Company intends to vigorously defend against the Arbitration Claim; however, there can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in any settlement discussions with Mr. Dange or that the Company will be successful in defending against the arbitration claim.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2025.
Risks Related to the Transactions
The business combination agreement for the Transactions with EEME, Southern and DEVS is subject to certain closing conditions and definitive transaction documents. If such conditions are not met or definitive transaction documents are not executed, the Transactions may be delayed or may not be completed and the applicable business combination agreement may be terminated in accordance with its terms.
On January 26, 2026, the Company entered into a transaction term sheet, dated January 26, 2026, with DevvStream Corp., an Alberta corporation (“DevvStream”), and Southern Energy Renewables Inc., a Louisiana corporation (“Southern”), setting forth the principal terms and conditions of a proposed business combination.
Following the execution of the term sheet, on April 13, 2026, the Company entered into a definitive Business Combination Agreement (as may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “BCA” and the transactions contemplated thereby, collectively, the “Transactions”), by and among the Company, DevvStream, Southern, DevvStream Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a newly-formed wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“DevvStream Merger Sub”), and Southern Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a newly-formed wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Southern Merger Sub”). The Transactions remain subject to customary closing conditions as well as the other terms, closing conditions and termination events (including failure to timely receive the DevvStream Fairness Opinion and the Company Fairness Opinion) set forth in the BCA.
If such conditions are not met or definitive transaction documents are not executed, the BCA may be terminated. No assurance can be given as to the timing of the execution of the definitive agreements or that any other conditions will be satisfied. Accordingly, there can be no assurance as to whether or when the Transactions will be completed.
Litigation relating to the Transactions, if any, could delay or prevent the completion of the Transactions and result in substantial costs to the Company.
Governmental authorities or other third parties with appropriate standing may file litigation challenging the Transactions and seeking an order enjoining or otherwise delaying or prohibiting the completion of the Transactions. If any such litigation is successful, then such order may prevent the Transactions from being completed, or from being completed within the expected time frame. There can be no assurance that the Company or any other defendants would be successful in the outcome of any potential future lawsuits. Even if a lawsuit is without merit, it could result in substantial costs to the Company and divert management time and resources.
Failure to complete the Transactions could negatively impact the Company.
If the Transactions are not completed for any reason, the ongoing business and financial condition of the Company may be adversely affected, including in the following ways:
| ● | the Company may experience negative reactions from the financial markets, including negative impacts on the market price of its common shares; |
| ● | the Company may experience negative reactions from its suppliers, distributors, vendors, customers or other third parties with whom it does business; |
| ● | the Company may experience negative reactions from employees; |
| ● | the Company will have incurred, and may continue to incur, significant costs relating to the Transactions, such as investment banking, legal, accounting and financial advisor fees and expenses, that it may not be able to recover; |
| ● | the Company will have expended significant time and resources that could otherwise have been spent on its existing business or the pursuant of other opportunities without realizing any of the potential benefits associated with the Transactions; and |
| ● | the Company may face litigation related to the failure to complete the Transactions. |
| 64 |
In addition, if the BCA is terminated and the Company seeks an alternative transaction, there can be no guarantee that it will be able to find or complete an alternative transaction on more attractive terms than the Transactions or at all.
The Transactions, regardless of whether they are completed, will continue to divert resources from ordinary operations, which could adversely affect the Company’s business.
The Company has diverted the attention of management and other resources to the Proposed Transaction. Whether or not the Transactions are completed, the pendency of the Transactions will continue to divert the attention of management and other resources from day-to-day operations to the completion of the Transactions. This diversion of management attention and other resources could adversely affect the Company’s ongoing business regardless of whether the Transactions are completed.
The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs related to the Transactions.
The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur a number of non-recurring costs associated with negotiating and completing the Transactions. These costs and expenses have been, and will continue to be, significant. These costs and expenses include fees paid or payable to financial, legal and accounting advisors, potential employment-related costs, filing fees, printing expenses and other related charges. Some of these costs are payable by the Company regardless of whether the Transactions are completed. While the Company has assumed that a certain level of expenses would be incurred in connection with the Transactions, there are many factors beyond its control that could affect the total amount or the timing of these expenses. These costs and expenses could adversely impact the Company’s financial condition and liquidity.
Uncertainties associated with the Transactions could negatively impact the Company’s ability to attract, motivate and retain management personnel and other key employees.
Hiring qualified personnel can be competitive. Current and prospective employees of the Company may experience uncertainty about their future role until strategies with regard to these employees are announced or executed, which may impair the Company’s ability to attract, retain and motivate key management, sales, marketing, and other personnel prior to completion of the Transactions. Employee retention may be particularly challenging as employees may experience uncertainty about their future roles with the combined company. If the Company is unable to retain personnel, including key management personnel, it could face disruptions in its operations, loss of existing customers, loss of key information, expertise or know-how, and unanticipated additional recruitment and training costs.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities
Greater Nevada Credit Union Loan
On March 28, 2025, counsel for GNCU and Greater Nevada Commercial Lending, LLC (the servicer for the GNCU Loan) provided notice to New Rise Reno asserting that an event of default has occurred with respect to the GNCU Loan as a result of New Rise Reno’s failure to make required minimum monthly payments. The letter also demands that New Rise Reno and New Rise take immediate steps to bring the GNCU Loan current and to cure any and all other non-payment-related defaults that may exist, as well as a demand that New Rise Reno and New Rise provide evidence sufficient for GNCU to determine that it remains secure and that the prospect of repayment of the GNCU Loan has not been impaired by any material adverse change in New Rise Reno’s financial condition, or in the financial condition of New Rise, as a guarantor of the GNCU Loan. GNCU has demanded that the GNCU Loan be brought current, including payment of all late charges, no later than close of business on May 27, 2025. As of the date of filing, New Rise Reno has not made payment of the amounts demanded. As of October 31, 2025, the amount required to bring the GNCU Loan current is approximately $26,700,000, inclusive of principal and interest, excluding approximately $2,400,000 of penalties/late charges.
By letter dated August 6, 2025 from counsel to GNCU to New Rise Reno, GNCU notified New Rise Reno of (1) additional events of default under the existing loan documents relating to the GNCU Loan, (2) failure to timely cure the ongoing payment default on the GNCU Loan by the deadline set forth in the demand to cure addressed to New Rise Reno dated March 3, 2025, and (3) the acceleration of the full unpaid balances of the GNCU Loan pursuant to GNCU’s rights under the loan documents relating to the GNCU Loan. The acceleration notice indicated that the amount owing as of August 5, 2025, excluding applicable fees, costs, and penalties, is $130,671,882.10. Subsequent to the notification, counsel for the Company and counsel for GNCU engaged in discussions regarding the notification, and on August 27, 2025, the Company, on behalf of New Rise Reno and GNCU entered into a Pre-Negotiation Letter outlining the terms under which the parties would engage in discussions for the purpose of entering into letter agreements, meetings, conferences, and written communications with respect to the outstanding default notice and balance due to GNCU. The Pre-Negotiation letter does not obligate any party to take any action with respect to the GNCU Loan and GNCU expressly reserved its rights under the loan documents relating to the GNCU Loan.
On August 27, 2025, the Company and New Rise Reno received a notice from GNCU withdrawing the August 6, 2025 notice of acceleration (the “Notice of Withdrawal”). Besides withdrawing the notice of acceleration, the Notice of Withdrawal specifies that GNCU does not withdraw, modify, or waive the notice of additional events of default and failure to timely cure ongoing payment default set forth in the August 6, 2025 notice of acceleration, which conditions remain in effect. GNCU also does not withdraw or modify the March 6, 2025 demand to cure.
The Company is in active discussions with GNCU to resolve the matters addressed in the aforementioned notice and demand to cure to New Rise Reno, including the possibility of a potential forbearance or modified loan payment schedule while the Company seeks and secures financing and ramps-up SAF production so as to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to be able to make payments under the GNCU Loan, including any past due loan payments and penalties. The Company is actively evaluating financing alternatives that, if completed, the Company believes would allow the re-financing of the GNCU Loan and the payments owing the landlord pursuant to the Ground Lease by and between Twain GL XXVIII, LLC, as the landlord, and New Rise Reno, as the tenant, dated March 29, 2022 (the “Ground Lease”) relating to the property on which the New Reno Facility is located. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to reach agreement with GNCU to resolve these matters on acceptable terms, or at all, or obtain sufficient financing to allow the Company to re-finance the GNCU Loan and Ground Lease payments and also execute our business plan.
Twain Ground Lease
On April 18, 2025, and April 30, 2025, counsel to Twain provided notice to New Rise Reno asserting that New Rise Reno is in default of the terms of the Ground Lease for its failure to make certain payments that are due and owing thereunder. In the notices, Twain sought immediate payment from New Rise Reno to cure the claimed default. These notices were in addition to prior correspondence directed to New Rise Reno from counsel on behalf of Twain dated December 7, 2023, and June 21, 2024, also asserting to certain defaults under the Ground Lease relating to failures to make required payments. The April 18, 2025, notice demanded payment by April 28, 2025, and the April 30, 2025, notice demanded immediate payment. As of the date of filing, New Rise Reno has not made payment of the amounts demanded. As of October 31, 2025, the amount required to satisfy the amounts owing under the Ground Lease totaled approximately $28,100,000, comprised of (i) $18,400,000 of lease payments and (ii) $9,700,000 of late fees and penalties.
Twain Forbearance Agreement
On June 11, 2025, XCF, New Rise Reno and Twain entered into a Forbearance Agreement (the “Twain Forbearance Agreement”), pursuant to which Twain has agreed to forbear from exercising its rights and remedies under the Ground Lease and related documents and/or applicable law with respect to any alleged defaults or alleged events of default until September 3, 2025, subject to certain conditions and exceptions provided in the Twain Forbearance Agreement. In consideration of Twain’s forbearance, XCF issued 4,000,000 shares of XCF Common Stock (the “Landlord Shares”) to Twain and use its reasonable best efforts to file a registration statement on appropriate form with the SEC to register the Landlord Shares for resale. The net proceeds of any sale of the Landlord Shares are to be credited on a dollar-for-dollar basis against any remaining principal, interest, and penalties owed by New Rise Reno to Twain.
On April 29, 2026, XCF, New Rise Reno and Twain entered into a Forbearance Agreement (the “2026 Twain Forbearance Agreement”), pursuant to which Twain has agreed to forbear from exercising its rights and remedies under the Ground Lease and related documents and/or applicable law with respect to any alleged defaults or alleged events of default until January 1, 2027, subject to certain conditions and exceptions provided in the 2026 Twain Forbearance Agreement. In consideration of Twain’s forbearance, XCF issued 4,000,000 shares of XCF Common Stock (the “2026 Landlord Shares”) to Twain and agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to file a registration statement on appropriate form with the SEC to register the Landlord Shares for resale. The net proceeds of any sale of the Landlord Shares are to be credited on a dollar-for-dollar basis against any remaining principal, interest, and penalties owed by New Rise Reno to Twain.
