AMERICAN CLEAN RESOURCES GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2026 AND 2025
| 1. | Nature of Business |
American Clean Resources Group, Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our,” “ACRG” or the “Company”) is an exploration stage company, incorporated in Nevada. The Company’s primary business plan is to purchase equipment and build a facility on its Tonopah property to serve as a permitted custom processing toll milling facility while it explores new technologies that allow greater effectiveness in achieving industry sustainability goals, including an analytical lab, pyrometallurgical plant, and hydrometallurgical recovery plant. The Company is required to obtain several permits before it can begin construction of the planned facility.
Effective January 1, 2026, the Company, through
its wholly owned subsidiary ACRG Energy Holdings, Inc. (“ACRG Energy Holdings”), and Phoenix New Era, LLC (“Phoenix”)
formed American Clean Energy, LLC (“ACE”), a Nevada limited liability company organized to pursue clean-energy and processing-related
business opportunities. As of June 30, 2026, ACRG Energy Holdings held a
| 2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and applicable rules and regulations of the SEC regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. As such, the information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q 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.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2026, and its results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026.
Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries: Aurielle Enterprises, Inc. (f/k/a Tonopah Milling and Metals Group,
Inc.) and its wholly owned subsidiaries Tonopah Custom Processing, Inc. and Tonopah Resources, Inc.; ACRG Energy Holdings, Inc.; and ACE,
which is consolidated as a wholly-controlled subsidiary under ASC 810, Consolidation. As of June 30, 2026, ACRG Energy Holdings held a
5
During the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company rescinded its prior acquisition of SWIS LLC and deconsolidated the entity effective November 21, 2025. As a result, SWIS LLC is not included in the consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026. The comparative periods ended June 30, 2025 did not include material assets, liabilities, or results of operations attributable to SWIS LLC.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Changes in circumstances could cause actual results to differ materially from these estimates.
Changes in Accounting Policies
We have consistently applied the accounting policies for the periods presented as described in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Costs Incurred in Connection with Related-Party Matters
From time to time the Company incurs and pays third-party legal, regulatory, and consulting costs in connection with matters in which an entity under common control with the Company also has an interest, including under a Master Services Agreement with Sustainable Metals Solutions, LLC (“SMS”) (see Note 6). The Company recognizes such costs as operating expenses within general and administrative expenses in the period incurred unless, and only to the extent that, an enforceable and collectible right to reimbursement exists at the balance-sheet date, in which case a related-party receivable is recognized. Receivables from entities under common control are outside the scope of the current expected credit loss model in ASC 326-20. As of June 30, 2026, no related-party receivable had been recognized under this policy, and the CECL scope exception in ASC 326-20 accordingly had no effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods presented.
Going Concern
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. In accordance with ASC 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern, management has evaluated whether conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date these financial statements are issued.
The principal conditions and events giving rise
to this evaluation are: (i) recurring losses from operations and negative operating cash flows, including a net loss of $
6
Management’s plans to address these conditions include seeking additional debt or equity financing, continuing to rely on advances from GPR, and pursuing the strategic transactions described in Note 9 and Note 11. Because these plans have not yet been finalized, are not entirely within the Company’s control, and depend on the continued willingness and ability of GPR and third parties to provide funding, management has concluded that it is not probable that the plans will be effectively implemented and will mitigate the conditions described above. Accordingly, substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date these financial statements are issued has not been alleviated. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or the amounts and classification of liabilities, that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted net loss per share of common shares includes the effect, if any, from the potential exercise or conversion of securities, such as convertible debt, share options and warrants, which would result in the issuance of incremental shares of common shares. For diluted net loss per share, the weighted-average number of common shares is the same for basic net loss per share due to the fact that when a net loss exists, dilutive securities are not included in the calculation as the impact is anti-dilutive. For all periods presented, basic and diluted net loss per share are the same, as any additional share equivalents would be anti-dilutive.
As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the
Company’s convertible promissory note – related party was convertible into
Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses” (“ASU 2024-03”). ASU 2024-03 requires disclosure of the nature of expenses included in the income statement in response to longstanding requests from investors for more information about an entity’s expenses. The new standard requires disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented on the face of the income statement and disclosures about selling expenses. ASU 2024-03 will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating ASU 2024-03 and does not expect it to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In May 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-03, Business Combinations (Topic 805) and Consolidation (Topic 810): Determining the Accounting Acquirer in the Acquisition of a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”), which provides clarifying guidance on determining the accounting acquirer in certain transactions involving VIEs. The update aims to improve consistency and comparability in financial reporting. The guidance will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption, the guidance will be applied prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of the amendments and the impact on its future financial statements.

impairment assessment under ASC 360-10, considering current commodity prices, the status of permitting activities, the condition of the
underlying property, and the Company’s intent and ability to develop the property. Based on this assessment, management concluded

These conditions precedent include, but are not limited to, completion of SMS’s audited financial statements by an independent PCAOB-registered accounting firm; delivery of a completed and SEC-compliant SK-1300 technical report summary; uplisting of ACRG’s common stock to the Nasdaq Capital Market; SEC clearance of a Form S-4 registration statement and proxy materials; approval of the transaction by ACRG’s shareholders; and satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations includes a number of forward-looking statements that reflect Management’s current views with respect to future events and financial performance. You can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate” and “continue,” or similar words. Those statements include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of us and members of our management team as well as the assumptions on which such statements are based. Prospective investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risk and uncertainties, and that actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements.
Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in this report and in our other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Important factors currently known to Management could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes in the future operating results over time. We believe that our assumptions are based upon reasonable data derived from and known about our business and operations. No assurances are made that actual results of operations or the results of our future activities will not differ materially from our assumptions. Factors that could cause differences include, but are not limited to, expected market demand for our products, fluctuations in pricing for materials, and competition.
Overview
ACRG is an exploration stage company whose primary business plan is to build and operate a permitted custom processing toll milling facility on its Tonopah property in Nevada. We are also exploring the development of an integrated renewable energy, critical minerals processing, and data center campus on our Millers property in Esmeralda County, Nevada, and clean-energy project development through our consolidated joint venture, ACE. We have not generated revenue from our planned operations and do not anticipate doing so until our Tonopah facility is constructed, permitted, and operational, which is dependent on obtaining substantial additional capital and regulatory approvals.
Results of Operations – Three Months Ended June 30, 2026 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2025
General and administrative expenses were $301,162 for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $244,269 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $56,893, or 23.3%. The increase was driven principally by higher insurance expense associated with the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability coverage, expanded consulting and professional fees supporting audit-readiness and regulatory compliance, and $36,051 of third-party legal and consulting costs incurred in connection with matters involving a related party under common control, which the Company recognized as general and administrative expense because an enforceable and collectible right to reimbursement did not exist at June 30, 2026. These increases were partially offset by lower engineering and accounting fees, the latter reflecting vendor-credit adjustments in the current quarter.
Other income was $2,444 for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $2,413 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, and consisted of ground-lease income from a communications-tower tenant. Interest expense was $124,346 for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $114,069 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $10,277, or 9.0%, reflecting accrued interest on the amended LaunchIT promissory note, including fixed late fees, and on the GPR convertible promissory note. As a result, net loss was $423,064, or $(0.03) per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $355,925, or $(0.03) per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2025.

Results of Operations – Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2025
General and administrative expenses were $606,246 for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $539,201 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $67,045, or 12.4%. The increase was attributable primarily to higher insurance expense of approximately $36,700 associated with the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability coverage, for which there was no comparable coverage in the prior-year period; increased consulting and professional fees; board and advisory compensation of $16,266 recognized in the first quarter of 2026; organization and startup costs of the ACE joint venture; and the $36,051 of related-party legal and consulting costs described above. These increases were partially offset by lower accounting and engineering fees, driven principally by the completion of technical evaluation activities performed in the comparable prior-year period that did not recur in the current period.
Other income was $4,889 for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $4,827 for the six months ended June 30, 2025. Interest expense was $244,055 for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $219,192 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $24,863, or 11.3%, driven by accrued interest on the amended LaunchIT promissory note, including fixed late fees, together with accrued interest on the GPR convertible promissory note. As a result, net loss was $845,412, or $(0.06) per basic and diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $753,566, or $(0.05) per basic and diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
We do not expect to generate operating revenue unless and until our Tonopah facility becomes operational, and we expect to continue to incur operating losses and negative operating cash flows as we fund legal, accounting, insurance, regulatory, and other public-company costs, along with permitting and technical evaluation activities. We are not aware of any other known trends, events, or uncertainties that are reasonably likely to have a material favorable or unfavorable impact on our results of operations, other than the going-concern conditions and the capital-raising and permitting matters described herein.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2026, we had cash of $2,914 and total current assets of $8,642, compared to total current liabilities of approximately $5.2 million, resulting in a working capital deficit of approximately $5.2 million. We have not generated revenue from operations and have incurred recurring operating losses, including a net loss of $845,412 for the six months ended June 30, 2026, and had an accumulated deficit of $116,319,711 as of June 30, 2026. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, which has not been alleviated (see Note 2 to the accompanying financial statements). Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to obtain additional financing and, over time, to generate revenue and cash flows sufficient to meet our obligations.
Short-term liquidity (next twelve months) Our primary internal source of liquidity is cash on hand, and our primary external source of liquidity has been discretionary advances from GPR under our related-party line of credit. Based on our current rate of cash usage, we estimate that our existing cash on hand of $2,914 is not sufficient to fund our anticipated operating expenses — including professional, insurance, consulting, and permitting costs — or our scheduled contractual obligations beyond the very near term without continued advances from GPR or additional financing. We do not have any committed sources of financing; advances under the GPR line of credit are discretionary and are not contractually committed. Our known contractual cash requirements over the next twelve months consist principally of (i) six remaining monthly installments of $5,000 each under the amended LaunchIT promissory note from June 2026 through November 2026, with a final payment of $162,500 due on or before December 31, 2026, representing total scheduled payments of $192,500 (which exceed the $165,000 amended principal balance by $27,500 of contractual late fees and other charges provided for under the amendment); (ii) the maturity of the $447,464 GPR convertible promissory note on March 16, 2027, which is convertible into common stock at the holder’s election; and (iii) related-party operating lease payments of approximately $4,344 for the remainder of 2026. There can be no assurance that additional capital will be available on acceptable terms, or at all, and a failure to obtain such capital would have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and our ability to continue operations.

Long-term liquidity (beyond twelve months) Over the longer term, the construction and permitting of our Tonopah toll milling facility and the development of our Millers property will require substantial additional capital, which we expect to fund through a combination of equity and debt financing, government grants, and potential strategic partnerships, including the arrangements described in Note 9 and Note 11 to the accompanying financial statements. As of June 30, 2026, we had no material commitments for capital expenditures. The mix and cost of our capital resources may change materially depending on the availability and terms of future financing, and any future equity financing would be dilutive to existing stockholders.

Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $449,846 for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $503,766 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, a decrease in cash used of $53,920. Cash used in operating activities in the current period reflects the net loss for the period, adjusted for non-cash items including common stock issued for services of $16,266 and amortization of the operating right-of-use asset of $3,841, together with changes in operating assets and liabilities, principally a decrease in prepaid expenses of $36,661 and increases in accounts payable of $64,375 and accrued interest of $232,399. Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2026 consisted principally of approximately $219,899 of interest accruing at 12% per annum on the Company’s outstanding legal-services obligation, together with $11,656 on the GPR convertible promissory note and $12,500 of fixed late fees on the amended LaunchIT promissory note. The decrease in cash used compared to the prior-year period was driven primarily by a larger increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the current period as the Company deferred payment of certain professional, legal, and engineering costs, partially offset by a higher net loss.
Investing Activities
There were no investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2026 or 2025.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $447,464 for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $511,492 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, consisting of advances under the Company’s line of credit with GPR.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that involve a significant level of estimation uncertainty and that have had, or are reasonably likely to have, a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. Our critical accounting estimates include the assessment of impairment of mineral rights under ASC 360-10; the going concern assessment under ASC 205-40; the measurement of stock-based compensation under ASC 718; the consolidation of ACE under ASC 810; and the determination of whether costs funded in connection with matters involving entities under common control give rise to a collectible reimbursement asset at the balance-sheet date. The mineral-rights impairment assessment is sensitive to assumptions regarding commodity prices, the status and timing of permitting, and our intent and ability to develop the property; a change in those assumptions could result in a future impairment charge. The going-concern assessment is sensitive to assumptions about the availability and timing of future financing. Except for the estimates and judgments associated with the consolidation of ACE and the evaluation of costs incurred in connection with matters involving entities under common control, there have been no material changes to the methods or key assumptions underlying our critical accounting estimates from those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. This discussion supplements, and does not duplicate, the description of our significant accounting policies in Note 2 to the accompanying financial statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K, during the six months ended June 30, 2026.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item. Our market risk exposure relates primarily to fluctuations in interest rates, inflation, and changes in the regulatory environment. As of June 30, 2026, our outstanding debt bore interest at fixed rates, and we had limited exposure to interest-rate risk. There have been no material changes in our reported market risks since the end of the most recent fiscal year.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of June 30, 2026. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2026, due to material weaknesses previously disclosed, including insufficient accounting personnel and segregation of duties and inadequate formal documentation of internal control policies and procedures over financial reporting. Notwithstanding these material weaknesses, management believes that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report fairly present, in all material respects, the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Other than the ongoing remediation activities described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
