PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS

  SUBJECT TO COMPLETION   DATED NOVEMBER 19, 2024

 

5,000,000 Shares

Common Stock

 

 

EzFill Holdings, Inc.

 

 

This is a firm commitment public offering of our common stock. We have assumed a public offering price of $3.00 per share.

 

Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “EZFL.” On November 15, 2024, the last reported sales price of our common stock on Nasdaq was $2.73 per share.

 

On February 21, 2024, we received a delist determination letter from Nasdaq’s Listing Qualifications Staff (the “Staff”) advising the Company that the Staff had determined that the Company did not meet the terms of a previously granted extension to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), which requires that a listed company’s stockholders’ equity be at least $2,500,000 (the “Equity Rule”). On August 30, 2024, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq confirming that the Company has regained compliance with the Equity Rule, as required by the Panel’s decision dated May 13, 2024, as amended, and in application of Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(B), the Company will be subject to a mandatory panel monitor for a period of one year from the date of such letter. See “Risk Factors-- If we fail to comply with the continued listing requirements of NASDAQ, we would face possible delisting, which would result in a limited public market for our shares and make obtaining future debt or equity financing more difficult for us.”

 

Effective July 25, 2024, the Company effected a 1-for-2.5 reverse split of our outstanding shares of common stock. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all share and per share numbers set forth herein relating to our common stock have been adjusted to give effect to the reverse stock split.

 

We have entered into an exchange agreement, as amended, for the acquisition of all of the shares of NextNRG Holding Corp. (“NextNRG”). The acquisition of NextNRG will close concurrently with the closing of this offering and we will not complete this offering unless the closing of the NextNRG acquisition is being completed concurrently with the closing of this offering. See “Prospectus Summary.”

 

The Company is currently a “controlled company” within the meaning of the applicable rules of Nasdaq. Michael D. Farkas, the Chief Executive Officer of NextNRG, is the holder (through NextNRG) and the beneficial owner of approximately 66.5% of the Company’s common stock and therefore controls a majority of the voting power of the Company’s outstanding common stock and accordingly, he has the ability to determine all matters requiring approval by stockholders. After the closing of this offering and the closing of the acquisition of NextNRG, Mr. Farkas will control approximately 75.2% of the voting power of our outstanding common stock, and, therefore will control a majority of the voting power of the Company’s outstanding common stock and accordingly, he will have the ability to determine all matters requiring approval by stockholders. Additionally, at the closing of the acquisition of NextNRG, the Company has agreed to appoint Mr. Farkas to the board of directors as Executive Chairman and to appoint him as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Accordingly, after the closing of this offering and the closing of the acquisition of NextNRG, we will continue to be a “controlled company” within the meaning of the applicable rules of Nasdaq and, as a result, we qualify for exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements. If the Company relies on these exemptions, which it does not intend to do, its stockholders will not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to such requirements. Under these rules, a company of which more than 50% of the voting power for the election of directors is held by an individual, group or another company is a “controlled company” and may elect not to comply with certain corporate governance requirements. See “Prospectus Summary — Implications of Being a Controlled Company.”

 

The final public offering price of the shares of common stock in this offering will be determined through negotiation between us and the representative of the underwriters in the offering and the price used throughout this prospectus may not be indicative of the final offering price.

 

We are an emerging growth company as that term is used in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, and, as such, we have elected to take advantage of certain reduced public company reporting requirements for this prospectus and future filings

 

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully review the risks and uncertainties described under the heading “Risk Factors” beginning on page 7 of this prospectus, and under similar headings in any amendments or supplements to this prospectus. Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

(1) Does not include a non-accountable expense allowance equal to 1% of the gross proceeds of this offering payable to ThinkEquity LLC, the representative of the underwriters (the “Representative”). See “Underwriting” for a description of compensation payable to the underwriters.

 

We have granted a 45-day option to the Representative to purchase a maximum of 750,000 additional shares of common stock at the public offering price less underwriting discounts and commissions.

 

The underwriters expect to deliver the securities to purchasers in the offering on or about     , 2024.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This prospectus contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. Forward-looking statements reflect our current view about future events. When used in this prospectus, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “future,” “intend,” “plan,” or the negative of these terms and similar expressions, as they relate to us or our management, identify forward-looking statements. Such statements include, but are not limited to, statements contained in this prospectus relating to our business strategy, our future operating results and liquidity and capital resources outlook. Forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and assumptions regarding our business, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward–looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Our actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. They are neither statements of historical fact nor guarantees of assurance of future performance. We caution you therefore against relying on any of these forward-looking statements.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

 

This summary highlights selected information contained elsewhere in this prospectus and does not contain all of the information you should consider in making your investment decision. You should read the following summary together with the more detailed information regarding us and our common stock being sold in the offering, including the risks of investing in our common stock discussed under “Risk Factors,” beginning on page 7 and our historical and pro forma condensed combined financial statements and the related notes appearing elsewhere in this prospectus, before making an investment decision. For convenience, in this prospectus, unless the context suggests otherwise, the terms “we,” “our,” “our company,” “Company” and “us” and “EzFill” refer to EzFill Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation.

 

Effective July 25, 2024, the Company effected a 1-for-2.5 reverse split of our outstanding shares of common stock. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all share and per share numbers set forth herein relating to our common stock have been adjusted to give retroactive effect to the reverse stock split.

 

Overview

 

EzFill is a leading app-based mobile-fueling company based in South Florida and the only company which provides fuel-delivery ‘on-demand’ or ‘in subscription’ to customers in three verticals – CONSUMER, COMMERCIAL and SPECIALTY. The Company is capitalizing on the ever-increasing trend in ‘at home’ or ‘at work’ delivery of products to enable this convenience in the $500 B (according to market estimates) market segment of fueling services. The Company believes consumers and commerce’s pain points in the time, risk and costs of fueling at stations can be resolved by our on-demand and subscription-based fuel delivery services.

 

Our app-based interface provides customers the ability to select the time and location of their fueling needs, whether their service request is ‘on demand’ or structured within routine delivery schedules based on their fuel consumption patterns. The Company streamlines our logistics and fuel purchasing with proprietary, backend software which manages customer accounts and mobilizes our fleet of almost 40 delivery trucks. The Company plans to acquire additional trucks to the extent supported by business growth and available resources. The Company is able to achieve volume discounted truckloads of fuel at depots, with subsequent delivery of this fuel to customers at home, work or business locations using our team of trained and certified drivers. The Company has a strong foothold in the South Florida market and are currently the dominant player in the area. The Company is open in West Palm Beach, Jacksonville, Orlando and Tampa, with a plan to continue growing strategically in major metros and metropolitan statistical areas (“MSAs”) in Florida and eventually other states.

 

The Company has begun to disrupt the gas station fueling model by providing consumers and businesses the convenience of gas fueling services brought directly to their locations. EzFill provides a safe, convenient and touch-free way for consumers to fuel their cars. For our commercial and specialty customers, at-site delivery of fuel during the down-times of their vehicles provides operators the benefit of beginning their daily operations with fully-fueled vehicles at cost-savings versus traditional fueling options.

 

On August 10, 2023, the Company, the shareholders (the “Next NRG Shareholders”) of NextNRG Holding Corp. (formerly Next Charging LLC (“NextNRG”)) and Michael Farkas, as the representative of the NextNRG Shareholders (the “Shareholders’ Representative”), entered into an exchange agreement, on November 2, 2023, the Company, the NextNRG Shareholders, NextNRG, and Mr. Farkas entered into an amended and restated exchange agreement, and on June 11, 2024, the Company, the NextNRG Shareholders, NextNRG and Mr. Farkas entered into a second amended and restated exchange agreement (as amended and restated, the “Exchange Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire from the NextNRG Shareholders 100% of the shares of NextNRG (the “NextNRG Shares”) in exchange for the issuance (the “Share Exchange”) by the Company to the NextNRG Shareholders of an aggregate of 40,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company. The Exchange Agreement provides that in the event NextNRG completes the acquisition of STAT-EI, Inc. (“SEI” or “STAT”), prior to the closing, then 28,000,000 shares will vest on the closing date, and the remaining 12,000,000 shares will be subject to vesting or forfeiture and in the event NextNRG did not complete such acquisition prior to the closing, then 14,000,000 shares would vest on the closing date, and the remaining 26,000,000 shares would be subject to vesting or forfeiture (such shares subject to vesting or forfeiture, the “Restricted Shares”).

NextNRG completed the acquisition of SEI on January 19, 2024.

 

As an additional condition to be satisfied prior to the closing, NextNRG is also required to take actions to record the assignment to itself of a patent mentioned in the Exchange Agreement.

 

On July 22, 2024, the Company and the Shareholders’ Representative entered into the first amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement (“First Amendment Agreement”) to add a new section 2.10 to the Second Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement. The new section 2.10 provides that, in the event that the Company at any time prior to the closing undertakes any forward split of the common stock, or any reverse split of the common stock, any references to numbers of shares of common stock as set forth in the Second Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement shall be deemed automatically updated and amended at such time to equitably account therefor. Further, in the event the Company undertakes any forward split of the common stock or any reverse split of the common stock following the closing, any references to any of numbers of Exchange Shares, as set forth in the Second Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement, shall be deemed similarly automatically adjusted to the extent still applicable, including, without limitation to the numbers of Exchange Shares vesting or being forfeited pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Second Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement.

 

On September 25, 2024, the Company and the Shareholders’ Representative entered into the second amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement (“Second Amendment Agreement”) to change the number of the Company’s common stock shares to be issued to the NextNRG Shareholders by the Company in exchange for 100% of the shares of NextNRG to 100,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

The Second Amendment Agreement also provides that in the event NextNRG completes the acquisition of STAT-EI, Inc. (“SEI” or “STAT”), prior to the closing, then 50,000,000 shares will vest on the closing date, and the remaining 50,000,000 shares will be subject to vesting or forfeiture (such shares subject to vesting or forfeiture, the “Restricted Shares”). As noted above, NextNRG completed the acquisition of SEI on January 19, 2024, and thus 50,000,000 will vest on the closing date, and 50,000,000 Restricted Shares will be subject to vesting or forfeiture. 25,000,000 of the 50,000,000 Restricted Shares will vest, if at all, upon the Company commercially deploying the third solar, wireless electric vehicle charging, microgrid, and/or battery storage system (such systems as more specifically defined under the Exchange Agreement) and 25,000,000 of the 50,000,000 Restricted Shares will vest, if at all, upon the Company either reaching annual revenues exceeding $100 million, the Company completing projects with deployment costs greater than $100 million, or the Company completing a capital raise greater than $25 million.

 

The Second Amendment Agreement also provides that prior to the closing, NextNRG may issue additional shares of NextNRG Stock to one or more additional persons and, in such event, such persons will execute a joinder to the Exchange Agreement and will become a party thereto. In addition, prior to the closing, subject to the approval of the Shareholders’ Representative, certain shareholders of NextNRG may transfer their shares of NextNRG Stock to persons who are currently shareholders of NextNRG or who would become new shareholders of NextNRG.

 

The Second Amendment Agreement also provides that the Company will undertake such actions as needed to obtain the approval of the stockholders of the Company for the adoption and approval of the Exchange Agreement, as amended, and the transactions contemplated thereby including the issuance of the Company’s common stock thereunder.

 

Mr. Farkas is the Chief Executive Officer of NextNRG, and is the holder (through NextNRG) and the beneficial owner of approximately 66.5% of the Company’s common stock (see “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions” and “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management”). At closing, the Company has agreed to appoint Mr. Farkas to the board of directors as Executive Chairman and to appoint him as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. At closing, the Company has also agreed to appoint Joel Kleiner, the Chief Financial Officer of NextNRG, as the Chief Financial Officer of the Company. The closing of the transactions contemplated under the Exchange Agreement are subject to certain customary closing conditions, including (i) that the Company file a Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to increase its authorized common stock from 50 million shares to 500 million shares (which occurred on June 14, 2024) (ii) the receipt of the requisite third-party consents, and (iii) compliance with the rules and regulations of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”), which includes the filing of an Initial Listing Application with Nasdaq (which occurred on December 12, 2023) and approval of such application by Nasdaq. In addition, while the stockholders of the Company have provided written consent approving the Second Amendment Agreement in September 2024 pursuant to Nasdaq Rule 5635, the effectiveness of such written consent is dependent upon the dissemination of a definitive Information Statement on Schedule 14C, which the Company anticipates completing in November 2024. Upon consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement, NextNRG will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The acquisition of NextNRG will close concurrently with the closing of this offering and the Company will not complete this offering unless the closing of the NextNRG acquisition can be completed concurrently with the closing of this offering.

 

NextNRG is a developmental stage, Nevada corporation working on the development of artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) solutions in the renewable energy/wireless electric vehicle (“EV”) charging space. NextNRG plans to develop, deploy, and own AI/ML powered smart microgrids coupled with solar energy generation, battery storage and wireless EV charging solutions (where appropriate) all over the United States, and eventually globally. In furtherance of this objective, in November 2023 NextNRG (through its controlled entity Next NRG, LLC) entered into a stock purchase agreement to acquire SEI, a development stage enterprise party to certain licenses from the Florida International University Board of Trustees and Florida International University to develop certain smart microgrid and wireless charging technologies for a purchase price of $5.5 million in cash. The licenses purchased from SEI are exclusive and worldwide, and require milestone payments of $75,000 upon the achievement of $2.0 million in net revenues and an annual royalty payment of $50,000 in 2024, $60,000 in 2025 and $75,000 for each year thereafter (in the case of microgrid technologies) and $40,000 in 2024, $50,000 in 2025 and $60,000 for each year thereafter (in the case of the wireless charging technologies), subject to the receipt of change of control fee ($350,000 in the case of microgrid technologies and $300,000 in the case of the wireless charging technologies) in each case payable upon the acquisition of SEI by NextNRG. NextNRG’s acquisition of SEI closed on January 19, 2024. The acquisition of SEI has been accounted for as an asset acquisition because substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired consist of license agreements and the acquisition includes only inputs with no substantiative process that significantly contributes to the ability to create outputs. Further, while there is no guarantee that the combined entities (including SEI) will be successful, the Company believes EzFill, following the acquisition of NextNRG, is poised to become the wireless/touchless fueling provider for all types of vehicles, both internal combustion and electric.

 

As used in this prospectus, references to NextNRG following our acquisition thereof include SEI unless otherwise indicated.

 

The Share Exchange will close concurrently with this offering and result in substantial dilution to our shareholders. The Company will not complete this offering unless the closing of the NextNRG acquisition is being completed concurrently with the closing of this offering. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Pending Acquisition of NextNRG.”

 

Increase in Authorized Common Stock

 

On June 14, 2024, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of shares of our authorized common stock from 50,000,000 to 500,000,000 shares.

Reverse Stock Split of Common Stock

 

On July 23, 2024, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect a one-for-two and a half (1-for-2.5) reverse split (the “Reverse Split”). The Reverse Split became effective on July 25, 2024. As a result of the Reverse Split, every 2.5 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock automatically converted into one share of common stock, without any change in the par value per share and began trading on a post-split basis under the Company’s existing trading symbol, “EZFL,” when the market opened on July 25, 2024.

 

A total of approximately 1.99 million shares of common stock were issued and outstanding immediately after the Reverse Split. No fractional shares were outstanding following the Reverse Split. Any holder who would have received a fractional share of common stock was automatically entitled to receive an additional fraction of a share of common stock to round up to the next whole share. The new CUSIP number for the common stock following the Reverse Split is 302314406.

 

In addition, effective as of the same time as the Reverse Split, proportionate adjustments were made to all then-outstanding options and warrants with respect to the number of shares of common stock subject to such options or warrants and the exercise price thereof.

On November 18, 2024, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement” and the transactions contemplated thereby the “Transactions”) with Yoshi, Inc., a Delaware Corporation (“Yoshi”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to purchase from Yoshi, and Yoshi agreed to sell to the Company, Yoshi’s mobile fueling assets as set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Assets”) for a total purchase price of $2,000,000 (the “Purchase Price”). The Purchase Price will be paid as follows: (i) $1,250,000 cash to be paid on or before the closing date, which is December 2, 2024 (the “Closing Date”); (ii) $500,000 in the form of the Company’s common stock to be paid on the Closing Date; and (iii) $250,000 in the form of a promissory note to be paid after 6 months but within 9 months of the Closing Date.

The Assets, as set forth in detail on Schedule 1 and Schedule 2 of the Asset Purchase Agreement, consist of all of Yoshi’s equipment and all the non-itemized or non-serialized equipment, parts, consumable and retail supplies and merchandise, office, shop and other equipment, machinery, fixtures, tools, attachments, hoses, cables, supplies, leasehold improvements and other tangible personal property used in Yoshi’s business as well as all of Yoshi’s rights to Yoshi’s business contracts used in Yoshi’s business. Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company will not assume, nor will it agree to pay, perform or discharge, any liability of Yoshi. Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, Yoshi agreed to pay all taxes associated with the Assets attributable to the taxable years or periods ending prior to the Closing Date. Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, Yoshi will maintain all rights and use of the name “Yoshi” or “Yoshi Mobility.” Each party will bear its own costs, fees and expenses in connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement and the Transactions.

 

On the Closing Date, the Company will pay the Purchase Price to Yoshi, and Yoshi will deliver to the Company (i) a bill of sale for each of the Assets, (ii) an assignment and assumption agreement, (iii) any certificates of title to motor vehicles then in Yoshi’s possession included in the Assets and (iv) evidence that any and all encumbrances on the Assets have been released and that termination statements with respect to all UCC financing statements relating to any such encumbrances have been filed, or will be filed promptly following the Closing Date.

 

Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, Yoshi and the Company agreed to indemnify each other for any losses incurred by a party as a result of the other party’s inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty, nonfulfillment, non-performance or other breach of any covenant or agreement in the Asset Purchase Agreement, or any arrangements or agreements made or alleged to have been made with any broker, finder or other agent in connection with the Transactions.

 

There can be no assurance that the Asset Purchase Agreement will close or that the Transactions will take place on the Closing Date as planned or at all.

 

The foregoing disclosure regarding the Asset Purchase Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Asset Purchase Agreement, which is incorporated herein by reference and attached hereto as Exhibit 10.89.

 

Definitive Information Statement

 

On October 11, 2024, the Company filed a Definitive Information Statement on Schedule 14C (the “Information Statement”) with the SEC in connection with the approval by the holders of a majority of the Company’s voting capital stock, by written consents in lieu of meetings delivered on September 25, 2024, pursuant to Section 228 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) and Section 9 of Article II of our bylaws, providing approval for the following corporate actions: (i) approving conversions of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock which will result in shares of the Company’s Common Stock issued that is equal or greater than 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the date of such issuance; and (ii) approving an amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement between the Company and NextNRG executed on June 11, 2024, whereby the consideration to NextNRG was increased to 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock as well as additional changes to the vesting conditions on the shares of Common Stock under such agreement, referred to herein together as the “Authorizations.”

 

Concurrently with the Authorizations, all of the members of the Board, by written consents in lieu of a meeting, as provided under the DGCL, provided similar authorizations.

 

The Information Statement was furnished to our stockholders of record as of September 26, 2024 (the “Record Date”), solely for the purpose of informing our stockholders of the actions taken by the written consent. The actions taken by written consent of the majority stockholders became effective is twenty (20) calendar days after the Information Statement was first mailed or otherwise delivered to holders of our Common Stock as of the Record Date.

 

Implications of Being a Controlled Company

 

The Company is currently a “controlled company” within the meaning of the applicable rules of Nasdaq. Michael D. Farkas, the Chief Executive Officer of NextNRG, is the holder (through NextNRG) and the beneficial owner of approximately 66.5% of the Company’s common stock and therefore controls a majority of the voting power of the Company’s outstanding common stock and accordingly, he has the ability to determine all matters requiring approval by stockholders. After the closing of this offering and the closing of the acquisition of NextNRG, Mr. Farkas will control approximately 75.2% of the voting power of our outstanding common stock, and, therefore will control a majority of the voting power of the Company’s outstanding common stock and accordingly, he will have the ability to determine all matters requiring approval by stockholders. Additionally, at the closing of the acquisition of NextNRG, the Company has agreed to appoint Mr. Farkas to the board of directors as Executive Chairman and to appoint him as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Accordingly, after the closing of this offering and the closing of the acquisition of NextNRG, we will continue to be a “controlled company” within the meaning of the applicable rules of Nasdaq and, as a result, we qualify for exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements. If the Company relies on these exemptions, which it does not intend to do, its stockholders will not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to such requirements. Under these rules, a company of which more than 50% of the voting power for the election of directors is held by an individual, group or another company is a “controlled company” and may elect not to comply with certain corporate governance requirements, including the requirements:

 

  ● that a majority of the board consists of independent directors;
     
  ● for an annual performance evaluation of the nominating and corporate governance and compensation committees;

While the Company does not intend to rely on these exemptions, the Company may use these exemptions now or in the future. As a result, the Company’s stockholders may not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all of the Nasdaq corporate governance requirements.

Risks Associated With Our Business and This Offering

 

Our business is subject to numerous risks described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus. You should carefully consider these risks before making an investment. Some of these risks include, but are not limited to:

 

  ● We will require substantial additional capital to support our operations and growth plans, and such capital may not be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all. This could hamper our growth and adversely affect our business.
  ● Operating and litigation risks may not be covered by insurance.
  ● Future climate change laws and regulations and the market response to these changes may negatively impact our operations.
  ● The Share Exchange will result in significant dilution to the Company’s stockholders.
  ● High fuel prices can lead to customer conservation and attrition, resulting in reduced demand for our product.
  ● Low fuel prices may also impact our profitability.
  ● The concentration of sales in certain large customers could result in significantly lower future revenue.
  ● Changes in commodity market prices may have a negative effect on our liquidity.
  ● The decline of the retail fuel market may impact our potential to get new customers.

 

  ● Competition in the mobile fuel delivery industry may negatively impact our operations.
  ● Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion on our financial statements.
  ● Our current dependence on a small number of fuel suppliers increases our risk of an interruption in fuel supply, impacting our operations.
  ● Local governments may make and enforce laws and regulations that ban mobile fuel delivery.
  ● The Company’s common stock is concentrated in a small number of shareholders.
  ● Additional stock offerings in the future may dilute your percentage ownership of our company.
  ● The Company is a “controlled company” within the meaning of the applicable rules of Nasdaq and, as a result, we qualify for exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements. If the Company relies on these exemptions, its stockholders will not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to such requirements.

 

JOBS Act

 

As a company with less than $1.0 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, or the JOBS Act. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act, for complying with new or revised accounting standards. Thus, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies.

 

An emerging growth company may also take advantage of reduced reporting requirements that are otherwise applicable to public companies. These provisions include, but are not limited to:

 

  ● we may present only two years of audited financial statements and only two years of related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations;
  ● not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;
  ● reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports, proxy statements and registration 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.

 

We may take advantage of these provisions until the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of our common equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, which such fifth anniversary will occur in 2026. However, if certain events occur prior to the end of such five-year period, including if we become a “large accelerated filer,” our annual gross revenues exceed $1.0 billion or we issue more than $1.0 billion of non-convertible debt in any three-year period, we will cease to be an emerging growth company prior to the end of such five-year period.

 

We have elected to take advantage of certain of the reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in this prospectus and, as long as we continue to qualify as an emerging growth company, we may elect to take advantage of this and other reduced burdens in future filings. As a result, the information that we provide to our stockholders may be different than you might receive from other public reporting companies in which you hold equity interests.

 

We are also a “smaller reporting company,” as defined under SEC Regulation S-K. As such, we also are exempt from the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and also are subject to less extensive disclosure requirements regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements. We will remain a smaller reporting company until the last day of the fiscal year in which (1) the market value of our shares held by non-affiliates equals or exceeds $250 million as of the prior June 30th and our annual revenues equaled or exceeded $100 million during such completed fiscal year, or (2) the market value of our shares held by non-affiliates equals or exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30th, regardless of our annual revenues during such completed fiscal year. Such reduced disclosure and corporate governance obligations may make it more challenging for investors to analyze our results of operations and financial prospects.

RISK FACTORS

 

Any investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below as well as other information provided to you in this document, including information in the section of this document entitled “Information Regarding Forward Looking Statements.”

 

Our business, financial condition or operating results could be materially adversely affected by any of these risks. In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and our stockholders may lose all or part of their investment in our securities.

 

Risks Related to Our Business

 

We will require substantial additional capital to support our operations and growth plans, and such capital may not be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all. This could hamper our growth and adversely affect our business.

 

Revenues generated from our operations are not presently sufficient to sustain our operations and our current liabilities substantially exceeded our current assets as of December 31, 2023. Therefore, we will need to raise additional capital in the future to continue our operations. We anticipate that our principal sources of liquidity will only be sufficient to fund our activities through December 1, 2024. In order to have sufficient cash to fund our operations beyond December 1, 2024, we will need to raise additional equity or debt capital. There can be no assurance that additional funds will be available when needed from any source or, if available, will be available on terms that are acceptable to us. We will be required to pursue sources of additional capital through various means, including debt or equity financings. Future financings through equity investments are likely to be dilutive to existing stockholders. Also, the terms of securities we may issue in future capital transactions may be more favorable for new investors. Newly issued securities may include preferences, superior voting rights, the issuance of warrants or other derivative securities, and the issuances of incentive awards under equity employee incentive plans, which may have additional dilutive effects. Further, we may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital and/or financing, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, printing and distribution expenses and other costs. We may also be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities we may issue, such as convertible notes and warrants, which will adversely impact our financial condition. Our ability to obtain needed financing may be impaired by such factors as the capital markets and our history of losses, which could impact the availability or cost of future financings. If the amount of capital we are able to raise from financing activities, together with our revenues from operations, is not sufficient to satisfy our capital needs, even to the extent that we reduce our operations accordingly, we may be required to curtail or cease operations.

 

Uncertain geopolitical conditions could adversely affect our results of operations.

 

Uncertain geopolitical conditions, including the war in Israel and invasion of Ukraine, sanctions, and other potential impacts on this region’s economic environment and currencies, may cause demand for our products and services to be volatile, cause abrupt changes in our customers’ buying patterns, and interrupt our ability to supply products or limit customers’ access to financial resources and ability to satisfy obligations to us. Specifically, terrorist attacks, the outbreak of war, or the existence of international hostilities could damage the world economy, adversely affect the availability of and demand for crude oil and petroleum products and adversely affect both the price of our fuel and our ability to obtain fuel.

 

Operating and litigation risks may not be covered by insurance.

 

Our operations are subject to all of the operating hazards and risks normally incidental to handling, storing, transporting and otherwise providing combustible liquids such as gasoline for use by consumers. These risks could result in substantial losses due to personal injury and/or loss of life, and severe damage to and destruction of property and equipment arising from explosions and other catastrophic events, including acts of terrorism. Additionally, environmental contamination could result in future legal proceedings. There can be no assurance that our insurance coverage will be adequate to protect us from all material expenses related to pending and future claims or that such levels of insurance would be available in the future at economical prices. Moreover, defense and settlement costs may be substantial, even with respect to claims and investigations that have no merit. If we cannot resolve these matters favorably, our business, financial condition, results of operations and future prospects may be materially adversely affected.

 

Future climate change laws and regulations and the market response to these changes may negatively impact our operations.

 

Increased regulation of greenhouse (GHG) emissions, from products such as petroleum and diesel, could impose significant additional costs on us, our suppliers, and our customers. Some states have adopted laws and regulations regulating the emission of GHGs for some industry sectors. Mandatory reporting by our customers and suppliers could have an effect on our operations or financial condition.

 

The adoption of additional federal or state climate change legislation or regulatory programs to reduce emissions of GHGs could also require us or our suppliers to incur increased capital and operating costs, with resulting impact on product price and demand. The impact of new legislation and regulations will depend on a number of factors, including (i) which industry sectors would be impacted, (ii) the timing of required compliance, (iii) the overall GHG emissions cap level, (iv) the allocation of emission allowances to specific sources, and (v) the costs and opportunities associated with compliance. At this time, we cannot predict the effect that climate change regulation may have on our business, financial condition or operations in the future.

 

7

 

 

Our auditors have included an explanatory paragraph in their opinion regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to continue as a going concern, our securities will have little or no value.

 

M&K CPA’s, PLLC, our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, has included an explanatory paragraph in their opinion that accompanies our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, indicating that our current liquidity position raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to improve our liquidity position, we may not be able to continue as a going concern.

 

We anticipate that we will continue to generate operating losses and use cash in operations through the foreseeable future. As further set forth above, we anticipate that we will need significant additional capital by December 1, 2024, or we may be required to curtail or cease operations.

 

If we are unable to protect our information technology systems against service interruption, misappropriation of data, or breaches of security resulting from cyber security attacks or other events, or we encounter other unforeseen difficulties in the operation of our information technology systems, our operations could be disrupted, our business and reputation may suffer, and our internal controls could be adversely affected.

 

In the ordinary course of business, we rely on information technology systems, including the Internet and third-party hosted services, to support a variety of business processes and activities and to store sensitive data, including (i) intellectual property, (ii) our proprietary business information and that of our suppliers and business partners, (iii) personally identifiable information of our customers and employees, and (iv) data with respect to invoicing and the collection of payments, accounting, procurement, and supply chain activities. In addition, we rely on our information technology systems to process financial information and results of operations for internal reporting purposes and to comply with financial reporting, legal, and tax requirements. Despite our security measures, our information technology systems may be vulnerable to attacks by hackers or breached due to employee error, malfeasance, sabotage, or other disruptions. A loss of our information technology systems, or temporary interruptions in the operation of our information technology systems, misappropriation of data, or breaches of security could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and reputation.

 

Moreover, the efficient execution of our business is dependent upon the proper functioning of our internal systems. Any significant failure or malfunction of this information technology system may result in disruptions of our operations. Our results of operations could be adversely affected if we encounter unforeseen problems with respect to the operation of this system.

 

High fuel prices can lead to customer conservation and attrition, resulting in reduced demand for our product.

 

Prices for fuel are subject to volatile fluctuations in response to changes in supply and other market conditions. During periods of high fuel costs our prices generally increase. High prices can lead to customer conservation and attrition, resulting in reduced demand for our product.

 

Low fuel prices may also result in less demand for our product.

 

Low fuel prices may lead to us being unable to attract customers due to the fact that we charge a delivery price that may make our pricing less competitive.

 

8

 

 

Changes in commodity market prices may have a negative effect on our gross margin.

 

Our current fuel supplier agreements set terms and establishes formulas based on Oil Price Information Service (OPIS) pricing as of the time of wholesale acquisition, and we do not store inventory. OPIS is a leading source for worldwide petroleum pricing. There is a mark-up for retail fuel prices above wholesale cost, per standard practice in the retail fuel distribution model. Cost of goods sold includes direct labor, including drivers. Our gross margin as a percentage of revenue decreases as a result of increase in fuel costs.

 

The decline of the retail fuel market may impact our potential to get new customers.

 

The retail gasoline industry has been declining over the past several years, with no or modest growth or decline in total demand foreseen in the next several years. Accordingly, we expect that year-to-year industry volumes will be principally affected by weather patterns. Therefore, our ability to grow within the industry is dependent on our ability to acquire other retail distributors and to achieve internal growth, which includes the success of our sales and marketing programs designed to attract and retain customers. Any failure to retain and grow our customer base would have an adverse effect on our results.

 

Competition in the fuel delivery industry may negatively impact our operations.

 

We compete with other mobile fuel delivery companies nationwide. There is little to no barrier to entry and therefore, our competition in the industry may grow. Our ability to compete in our current markets and expand to new markets may be negatively impacted by our competitors’ successes. Additionally, fuel competes with other sources of energy, some of which are less costly on an equivalent energy basis. In addition, we cannot predict the effect that the development of alternative energy sources might have on our operations. We compete for customers against suppliers of electricity. Electricity is becoming a competitor of fuel. The convenience and efficiency of electricity make it an attractive energy source for vehicle drivers. The expansion of the electric vehicle industry may have a negative impact on our customer base.

 

Our trucks transport hazardous flammable fuel, which may cause environmental damage and liability to us.

 

Due to the hazardous nature and flammability of our product, we face the risk of a simple accident causing serious damage to life and property. Additionally, a spill of our product may result in environmental damage, the liability for which our Company may not be able to overcome. If we are involved in a spill, leak, fire, explosion or other accident involving hazardous substances or if there are releases of fuel or fuel products we own or are transporting, our operations could be disrupted and we could be subject to material liabilities, such as the cost of investigating and remediating contaminated properties or claims by customers, employees or others who may have been injured, or whose property may have been damaged. These liabilities, to the extent not covered by insurance, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Some environmental laws impose strict liability, which means we could have liability without regard to whether we were negligent or at fault.

 

In addition, compliance with existing and future environmental laws regulating fuel storage terminals, fuel delivery vessels and/or storage tanks that we own or operate may require significant capital expenditures and increased operating and maintenance costs. The remediation and other costs required to clean up or treat contaminated sites could be substantial and may not be covered by insurance.

 

Our cash flow and net income may decrease if we are forced to comply with new governmental regulation surrounding the transportation of fuel.

 

We are subject to various federal, state, and local safety, health, transportation, and environmental laws and regulations governing the storage, distribution, and transportation of fuel. It is possible we will incur increased costs as a result of complying with new safety, health, transportation and environmental regulations and such costs will reduce our net income. It is also possible that material environmental liabilities will be incurred, including those relating to claims for damages to property and persons.

Our current dependence on a single fuel supplier increases our risk of an interruption in fuel supply, impacting our operations.

 

Although we are in the process of establishing other sources, we currently purchase almost all of our fuel needs from two principal suppliers in Florida. We do not have a written agreement with the largest supplier, and as such, if fuel from this source was interrupted, the cost of procuring replacement fuel and transporting that fuel from alternative locations might be materially higher and, at least on a short-term basis, our earnings could be negatively affected. This supplier is also a shareholder in the Company.

 

Our profitability is subject to fuel pricing and inventory risk.

 

The retail fuel business is a “margin-based” business in which gross profits are dependent upon the excess of the sales price over the fuel supply costs. Fuel is a commodity, and, as such, its unit price is subject to volatile fluctuations in response to changes in supply or other market conditions. We have no control over supplies, commodity prices or market conditions. Consequently, the unit price of the fuel that we and other marketers purchase can change rapidly over a short period of time, including daily.

 

Loss of a major customer could result in a decrease in our future sales and earnings.

 

In any given quarter or year, sales of our products may be concentrated in a few major customers. We anticipate that a limited number of customers in any given period may account for a substantial portion of our total net revenue for the foreseeable future. The business risks associated with this concentration, including increased credit risks for these and other customers and the possibility of related bad debt write-offs, could negatively affect our margins and profits. Additionally, the Company does not have any long-term agreements with its customers. All customer agreements are cancelable at any time by either party and as such there cannot be any assurance that any customer will continue to use the Company’s services. The loss of a major customer, whether through competition or consolidation, or a termination in sales to any major customer, could result in a decrease of our future sales and earnings.

 

We operate in a new industry segment and may be subject to new and existing laws, regulations and oversight

 

The Company operates in a new industry segment, on-demand mobile fuel delivery, in which new state and local law adoptions are occurring. Effective December 31, 2020, Florida adopted Florida Fire Prevention Code (“Code”) Section 42.12 recognizing and setting various requirements for the consumer on-demand mobile fuel delivery business. Permitting authority is contemplated under an “Authority Having Jurisdiction” (“AHJ”). Other pre-existing Code provisions similarly contemplate AHJ permitting for commercial mobile fueling. Miami-Dade County, where most of our business is conducted, adopted the Code by reference. Unlike some other states and counties, neither Florida nor Miami-Dade County have designated an AHJ for mobile fueling. Miami-Dade’s extensive permitting and fee schedule does not contemplate or assert permitting authority over mobile fueling, consumer or commercial. We may be subject to oversight, including audits, in existing or future areas of operation. If we cannot comply with the Code, or County, State or Federal rules and regulations or the laws, rules and regulations or oversight in areas in which we currently operate or may seek to operate, we could lose the ability to service those areas and our earnings could be affected.

 

Our License Agreement with Fuel Butler may be terminated and as such our expansion plans into the state of New York may be delayed

 

On April 7, 2021, the Company entered into a Technology License Agreement with Fuel Butler LLC (“Technology Agreement”). Under the Technology Agreement, the Company licensed proprietary technology that the Company believes will allow the Company to provide its fuel service in high density areas like New York City. Fuel Butler has delivered a purported notice of termination of the Technology Agreement based on certain alleged breaches arising from our failure to issue equity securities to Fuel Butler. We have been in communications with Fuel Butler regarding the termination of the Technology Agreement and continue to believe that the Company is in compliance with the Technology Agreement and that the Technology Agreement continues to be in force. While we contest Fuel Butler’s claims of breach and contend that in fact Fuel Butler is in breach, we have communicated to Fuel Butler that we wish to terminate the Technology Agreement. We have sent a proposal to Fuel Butler whereby we will cease utilizing the Technology and Fuel Butler will return any shares it received under the Technology Agreement. However, to date, the Company has not had further communications with Fuel Butler regarding this matter. Currently, the Company does not expect to expand into the state of New York for the foreseeable future.

 

The Company may not consummate the transactions contemplated by its Asset Purchase Agreement with Yoshi.

 

On November 18, 2024, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement” and the transactions contemplated thereby the “Transactions”) with Yoshi, Inc., a Delaware Corporation (“Yoshi”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to purchase from Yoshi, and Yoshi agreed to sell to the Company, Yoshi’s mobile fueling assets as set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Assets”) for a total purchase price of $2,000,000 (the “Purchase Price”). The Purchase Price will be paid as follows: (i) $1,250,000 cash to be paid on or before the closing date, which is December 2, 2024 (the “Closing Date”); (ii) $500,000 in the form of the Company’s common stock to be paid on the Closing Date; and (iii) $250,000 in the form of a promissory note to be paid after 6 months but within 9 months of the Closing Date. The Company’s common stock to be issued by the Company to Yoshi as part of the Purchase Price will be issued based on the Nasdaq closing price for Company’s common stock on the last trading day prior to the Closing Date. The Assets, as set forth in detail on Schedule 1 and Schedule 2 of the Asset Purchase Agreement, consist of all of Yoshi’s equipment and all the non-itemized or non-serialized equipment, parts, consumable and retail supplies and merchandise, office, shop and other equipment, machinery, fixtures, tools, attachments, hoses, cables, supplies, leasehold improvements and other tangible personal property used in Yoshi’s business as well as all of Yosh’s rights to Yoshi’s business contracts used in Yoshi’s business. Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company will not assume, nor will it agree to pay, perform or discharge, any liability of Yoshi. Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, Yoshi agreed to pay all taxes associated with the Assets attributable to the taxable years or periods ending prior to the Closing Date. Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, Yoshi will maintain all rights and use of the name “Yoshi” or “Yoshi Mobility.” Each party will bear its own costs, fees and expenses in connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement and the Transactions. After the review of Yoshi’s unaudited financials under the income, investment and asset tests of Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X, the Company believes that the purchase of the Assets from Yoshi is not considered significant under any of such tests.

 

There can be no assurance that the Asset Purchase Agreement will close or that the Transactions will take place on the Closing Date as planned or at all. If the Asset Purchase Agreement does not close, the Company will not acquire the Assets and will not have the benefit of the use of the Assets in its business. Additionally, if the Asst Purchase Agreement does not close, it may result in the loss of business opportunities and potential disruption to the Company’s strategic plans.

Risks Related to the Pending Acquisition of NextNRG

 

Neither the Company’s board of directors nor any committee thereof obtained a fairness opinion (or any similar report or appraisal) in determining whether or not to pursue the acquisition of NextNRG, which is owned by the Company’s largest shareholder. Consequently, you have no assurance from an independent source that the price the Company is paying for NextNRG is fair to the Company — and, by extension, its securityholders — from a financial point of view.

 

Neither the Company’s board of directors nor any committee thereof is required to obtain an opinion (or any similar report) from an independent investment banking or accounting firm that the price that the Company is paying for NextNRG is fair to the Company from a financial point of view, although pursuant to Nasdaq Rule 5630 the Company is required to conduct an appropriate review and oversight of all related party transactions for potential conflict of interest situations on an ongoing basis by the Company’s audit committee or another independent body of the board of directors. In analyzing the acquisition of NextNRG, the Company’s board of directors reviewed summaries of due diligence results and financial analyses prepared by management. The Company’s board of directors also consulted with legal counsel and with the Company management and considered a number of factors, uncertainty and risks and concluded that the acquisition of NextNRG was in the best interest of the Company’s stockholders. The Company’s board of directors believes that because of the professional experience and background of its directors, it was qualified to conclude that the acquisition of NextNRG was fair from a financial perspective to its stockholders. Accordingly, investors will be relying solely on the judgment of the Company’s board of directors in valuing NextNRG, and the Company’s board of directors may not have properly valued such acquisition. As a result, the terms may not be fair from a financial point of view to the public stockholders of the Company.

 

The Share Exchange will result in significant dilution to the Company’s stockholders.

 

Pursuant to the Share Exchange, the Company will issue 100,000,000 shares of common stock to the NextNRG Shareholders, 50,000,000 of these shares will be subject to vesting or forfeiture (see “Prospectus Summary”) pursuant to future milestones.

 

Based on 6,208,073 shares of common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2024, and assuming the issuance of (i) 5,000,000 shares in this offering, and (ii) all 100,000,000 shares pursuant to the Share Exchange, following this offering and the concurrent closing of the Share Exchange, the Company will have 111,208,073 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.

 

Of the 111,208,073 shares of common stock that will be issued and outstanding:

 

- 5,000,000 shares (4.50%) will be beneficially owned by investors in this offering;
- 198,357 shares (0.18%) will be beneficially owned by current officers and directors of the Company and 2,160,014 shares (1.94%) shares will be beneficially owned by other current shareholders of the Company; and
- 103,849,702 shares (93.38%) will be beneficially owned by the NextNRG Shareholders (including shares held by entities controlled by Michael Farkas, the Chief Executive Officer of NextNRG).

 

In addition, there are 2,351,618 shares which may be issued upon the conversion of the 363,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and 140,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, each with a stated value of $10.00 per share, at 80% and 70%, respectively, of $2.78 (the minimum price on the date of issuance). Furthermore, our stockholders have approved an increase in the number of shares that may be issued under our equity incentive plan from 360,000 shares to 900,000 shares. Issuance of awards regarding such additional shares will result in further dilution to stockholders, including investors in this offering.

NextNRG has a very limited operating history, which makes it difficult to evaluate its business and prospects.

 

NextNRG has a very limited operating history, which makes it difficult to evaluate its business and prospects or forecast its future results. NextNRG is subject to the same risks and uncertainties frequently encountered by new companies in rapidly evolving markets. NextNRG’s financial results in any given quarter can be influenced by numerous factors, many of which it is unable to predict or are outside of its control, including:

 

  ● perceptions about EV quality, safety (in particular with respect to lithium-ion battery packs), design, performance and cost, especially if adverse events or accidents occur that are linked to the quality or safety of Evs;
     
  ● the limited range over which Evs may be driven on a single battery charge and concerns about running out of power while in use;
     
  ● concerns regarding the stability of the electrical grid;
     
  ●  improvements in the fuel economy of the internal combustion engine;
     
  ● consumers’ desire and ability to purchase a luxury automobile or one that is perceived as exclusive;
     
  ● the environmental consciousness of consumers;
     
  ●  volatility in the cost of oil and gasoline;
     
  ● consumers’ perceptions of the dependency of the United States on oil from unstable or hostile countries and the impact of international conflicts;
  ●  government regulations and economic incentives promoting fuel efficiency and alternate forms of energy;
     
  ● access to charging stations, standardization of EV charging systems and consumers’ perceptions about convenience and cost to charge an EV; and
     
  ● the availability of tax and other governmental incentives to purchase and operate Evs or future regulation requiring increased use of nonpolluting vehicles.

 

To date, NextNRG has not generated significant revenues or achieved profitability, and may never generate significant revenues or become profitable.

 

NextNRG has incurred net losses since inception and may not be able to achieve or maintain profitability in the future. NextNRG’s expenses will likely increase in the future as it develops and launches its products, expands into new markets, increases its sales and marketing efforts and continues to invest in technology. These efforts to grow its business may be more costly than NextNRG expects and may not result in increased revenue or growth in its business. NextNRG will likely be required to make significant capital investments and incur recurring or new costs, and its investments (if any) may not generate sufficient returns and its results of operations, financial condition and liquidity may be adversely affected. Any failure to increase revenues sufficiently to keep pace with such investments and other expenses could prevent NextNRG from achieving or maintaining profitability or positive cash flow on a consistent basis or at all. If NextNRG is unable to successfully address these risks and challenges as it encounters them, its business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be adversely affected. If it is unable to generate adequate revenue growth and manage expenses, NextNRG may continue to incur net losses in the future, which may be substantial, and it may never be able to achieve or maintain profitability. NextNRG also expects its costs and expenses to increase in future periods, which could negatively affect future results of operations if revenues do not increase. In particular, NextNRG intends to continue to expend significant funds to further develop its technology. Furthermore, if NextNRG’s future growth and operating performance fail to meet investor or analyst expectations, or if it has future negative cash flow or losses resulting from investment in technology or expanding operations, this could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

The market for NextNRG’s platform and services may not be as large as NextNRG believes it to be.

 

We believe the market for our values-aligned platform is substantial, but it is still relatively new, and it is uncertain to what extent or how widespread market acceptance of our platform will be or how long such acceptance, if achieved, may be sustained. Our success will depend on the willingness of people to widely adopt the NextNRG experience, values and the products and services that we offer through our platform. If the public does not perceive our products and services sold through our platform to be beneficial, or chooses not to adopt them as a result of concerns regarding privacy, accessibility, or for other reasons, including an unwillingness to confirm that they respect our five core values or as a result of negative incidents or experiences they encounter through our platform, or instead opt to use alternatives to our platform, then the market for our platform may not continue to grow, may grow slower than we expect, or may not achieve the growth potential we expect, any of which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

 

NextNRG has limited experience with respect to determining the optimal prices and pricing structures for its products and services, which may impact its financial results.

 

NextNRG expects that it may need to change its pricing model from time to time, including as a result of competition, global economic conditions, changes in product mix or pricing studies. Similarly, as NextNRG introduces new products and services, it may have difficulty determining the appropriate price structure for future products and services, including because we may pursue business lines or enter markets in which NextNRG’s current management team has limited prior experience. In addition, as new and existing competitors introduce new products or services that compete with NextNRG’s, or revise their pricing structures, it may be unable to attract new customers at the same price or based on the same pricing model as it has used historically. As a result, NextNRG may be required from time to time to revise its pricing structure or reduce prices, which could adversely affect its business, operating results, and financial condition.

 

NextNRG is in a highly competitive EV charging services industry and there can be no assurance that it will be able to compete with many of its competitors which are larger and have greater financial resources.

 

NextNRG faces strong competition from competitors in the EV charging services industry, including competitors who could duplicate its model. Many of these competitors may have substantially greater financial, marketing and development resources and other capabilities than NextNRG. In addition, there are very few barriers to entry into the market for its services. There can be no assurance, therefore, that any of NextNRG’s current and future competitors, many of whom may have far greater resources, will not independently develop services that are substantially equivalent or superior to its services. Additionally, there is no guarantee that NextNRG’s wireless EV charging solutions will be accepted by the market.

 

12

 

 

NextNRG’s competitors may be able to provide customers with different or greater capabilities or benefits than it can provide in areas such as technical qualifications, past contract performance, geographic presence and driver price. Further, many of its competitors may be able to utilize substantially greater resources and economies of scale to develop competing products and technologies, divert sales away from NextNRG by winning broader contracts or hire away our employees by offering more lucrative compensation packages. In the event that the market for EV charging stations expands, NextNRG expects that competition will intensify as additional competitors enter the market and current competitors expand their product lines. In order to secure contracts successfully when competing with larger, well-financed companies, NextNRG may be forced to agree to contractual terms that provide for lower aggregate payments to it over the life of the contract, which could adversely affect its margins. NextNRG’s failure to compete effectively with respect to any of these or other factors could have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition or operating results.

 

NextNRG’s revenue growth ultimately depends on consumers’ willingness to adopt electric vehicles with wireless charging capabilities in a market which is still in its early stages.

 

NextNRG’s growth is highly dependent upon the adoption by consumers of Evs, and it is subject to a risk of any reduced demand for Evs. If the market for Evs does not gain broader market acceptance or develops slower than expected, NextNRG’s business, prospects, financial condition and operating results will be harmed. The market for alternative fuel vehicles is relatively new, rapidly evolving, characterized by rapidly changing technologies, price competition, additional competitors, evolving government regulation and industry standards, frequent new vehicle announcements, long development cycles for EV original equipment manufacturers, and changing consumer demands and behaviors. Factors that may influence the purchase and use of alternative fuel vehicles, specifically Evs, include:

 

  ● perceptions about EV quality, safety (in particular with respect to lithium-ion battery packs), design, performance and cost, especially if adverse events or accidents occur that are linked to the quality or safety of Evs;
     
  ● the limited range over which Evs may be driven on a single battery charge and concerns about running out of power while in use;
     
  ● concerns regarding the stability of the electrical grid;
     
  ●  improvements in the fuel economy of the internal combustion engine;
     
  ● consumers’ desire and ability to purchase a luxury automobile or one that is perceived as exclusive;
     
  ● the environmental consciousness of consumers;
     
  ●  volatility in the cost of oil and gasoline;
     
  ● consumers’ perceptions of the dependency of the United States on oil from unstable or hostile countries and the impact of international conflicts;
  ●  government regulations and economic incentives promoting fuel efficiency and alternate forms of energy;
     
  ● access to charging stations, standardization of EV charging systems and consumers’ perceptions about convenience and cost to charge an EV; and
     
  ● the availability of tax and other governmental incentives to purchase and operate Evs or future regulation requiring increased use of nonpolluting vehicles.

 

The influence of any of the factors described above may negatively impact the widespread consumer adoption of Evs, which would materially and adversely affect NextNRG’s business, operating results, financial condition and prospects.

Risks Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock and this Offering

 

Our stock price is expected to fluctuate significantly.

 

Our common stock was approved for listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “EZFL” and began trading on September 15, 2021. There can be no assurance that an active trading market for our shares will be sustained. The market price of shares of our common stock could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to many risk factors listed in this section, and others beyond our control, including:

 

● actual or anticipated fluctuations in our financial condition and operating results;
   
● geopolitical developments affecting supply and demand for oil and gas and an increase or decrease in the price of fuel;
   
● actual or anticipated changes in our growth rate relative to our competitors;
   
● competition from existing companies in the space or new competitors that may emerge;
   
● issuance of new or updated research or reports by securities analysts;
   
● fluctuations in the valuation of companies perceived by investors to be comparable to us;
   
● share price and volume fluctuations attributable to inconsistent trading volume levels of our shares;
   
● additions or departures of key management or technology personnel;
   
● disputes or other developments related to proprietary rights, including intellectual property, litigation matters, and our ability to obtain patent protection for our technologies;
   
● announcement or expectation of additional debt or equity financing efforts;
   
● sales of our common stock by us, our insiders or our other stockholders; and
   
● general economic and market conditions.

 

These and other market and industry factors may cause the market price and demand for our common stock to fluctuate substantially, regardless of our actual operating performance, which may limit or prevent investors from readily selling their shares of common stock and may otherwise negatively affect the liquidity of our common stock. In addition, the stock market in general has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated to or disproportionate to the operating performance of the Company.

 

A significant percentage of the Company’s common stock is held by a small number of shareholders.

 

One beneficial owner controls approximately 66.5% of our outstanding common stock as of November 19, 2024, and our officers and directors beneficially own approximately an additional 3.38% of our outstanding common stock. As a result, these shareholders are able to influence the outcome of shareholder votes on various matters, including the election of directors and extraordinary corporate transactions, including business combinations. In addition, the conversion of existing convertible notes, occurrence of sales of a large number of shares of our common stock, or the perception that these conversions or sales could occur, may affect our stock price and could impair our ability to obtain capital through an offering of equity securities. Furthermore, the current ratios of ownership of our common stock reduce the public float and liquidity of our common stock, which can in turn affect the market price of our common stock.

 

Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation includes an exclusive forum provision that identifies the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware as the exclusive forum for certain litigation, including any derivative actions, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us, our directors, officers or employees.

 

Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company; (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee of the Company to the Company or the Company’s stockholders; (iii) any action asserting a claim against the Company arising pursuant to any provision of the General Corporation Law of Delaware, the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the Company; or (iv) any action asserting a claim against the Company governed by the internal affairs doctrine. To the extent that any such claims may be based upon federal law claims, Section 27 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. Furthermore, Section 22 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, provides for concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder, and as such, the exclusive jurisdiction clauses of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation would not apply to such suits. The choice of forum provisions in our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers or other employees, which may discourage such lawsuits against us and our directors, officers and other employees. By agreeing to these provisions, however, stockholders will not be deemed to have waived our compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. Furthermore, the enforceability of similar choice of forum provisions in other companies’ certificates of incorporation and bylaws has been challenged in legal proceedings, and it is possible that a court could find these types of provisions to be inapplicable or unenforceable. If a court were to find the choice of forum provisions in our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation” to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect our business and financial condition.

We have never paid dividends on our capital stock, and we do not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future. Consequently, any gains from an investment in our common stock will likely depend on whether the price of our common stock increases.

 

We have not paid dividends on any of our classes of capital stock to date and we currently intend to retain our future earnings, if any, to fund the development and growth of our business. In addition, the terms of any future indebtedness we may incur could preclude us from paying dividends. As a result, capital appreciation, if any, of our common stock will be your sole source of gain from an investment in our common stock for the foreseeable future. Consequently, in the foreseeable future, you will likely only experience a gain from your investment in our common stock if the price of our common stock increases.

 

If we fail to comply with the continued listing requirements of NASDAQ, we would face possible delisting, which would result in a limited public market for our shares and make obtaining future debt or equity financing more difficult for us.

 

On August 22, 2023, the Company received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Staff (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the Company’s stockholders’ equity as reported in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2023 (the “Form 10-Q”), did not satisfy the continued listing requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), which requires that a listed company’s stockholders’ equity be at least $2,500,000 (the “Equity Rule”). As reported in its Form 10-Q, the Company’s stockholders’ equity as of June 30, 2023 was approximately $1,799,365. As of June 30, 2024, the Company’s stockholders’ deficit was ($4,833,450). The Staff’s notice had no immediate impact on the listing of the Company’s common stock on Nasdaq.

 

Upon submission of the Company’s plan to regain compliance, the Staff granted the Company an extension until February 20, 2024 to comply with this requirement.

 

On February 21, 2024, the Company received a delist determination letter (the “Delist Letter”) from the Staff advising the Company that the Staff had determined that the Company did not meet the terms of the extension. Specifically, the Company did not complete its proposed transaction to regain compliance with the Equity Rule and evidence compliance on or before February 20, 2024.

 

The Company requested an appeal of the Staff’s determination and such hearing occurred on May 2, 2024. At the hearing, the Company presented its plan for regaining compliance with the Equity Rule and requested a further extension to complete the execution of its plan. On May 13, 2024, we received an extension until July 12, 2024, to regain compliance with the Equity Rule.

 

On August 30, 2024, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq confirming that the Company has (i) regained compliance with the Equity Rule, as required by the Panel’s decision dated May 13, 2024, as amended, and (ii) in application of Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(B), the Company will be subject to a mandatory panel monitor for a period of one year from the date of such letter. If, within that one-year monitoring period, the Staff finds that the Company is no longer in compliance with the Equity Rule, then, notwithstanding Listing Rule 5810(c)(2), the Company will not be permitted to provide Staff with a plan of compliance with respect to such deficiency and Staff will not be permitted to grant additional time for the Company to regain compliance with respect to such deficiency, nor will the Company be afforded an applicable cure or compliance period pursuant to Listing Rule 5810(c)(3). Instead, the Staff will issue a Delist Determination Letter, and the Company will have an opportunity to request a new hearing with the initial Panel or a newly convened Hearings Panel if the initial Panel is unavailable. The Company will have the opportunity to respond/ present to the Hearings Panel as provided by Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(C) and the Company’s securities may at that time be delisted from Nasdaq.

 

If we are unable to achieve and maintain compliance with such listing standards or other Nasdaq listing requirements in the future, we could be subject to suspension and delisting proceedings. A delisting of our common stock and our inability to list on another national securities market could negatively impact us by: (i) reducing the liquidity and market price of our common stock; (ii) reducing the number of investors willing to hold or acquire our common stock, which could negatively impact our ability to raise equity financing; (iii) limiting our ability to use certain registration statements to offer and sell freely tradable securities, thereby limiting our ability to access the public capital markets; and (iv) impairing our ability to provide equity incentives to our employees.

 

We have elected to take advantage of specified reduced disclosure requirements applicable to an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act, the information that we provide to stockholders may be different than they might receive from other public companies.

 

As a company with less than $1 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include:

 

  ● only two years of audited financial statements in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements with correspondingly reduced “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure;
     
  ● reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements;
     
  ● no non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements;
     
  ● exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting and delaying the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies.

 

We have elected to take advantage of the above-referenced exemptions and we may take advantage of these exemptions for up to five years or such earlier time that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company if we have more than $1 billion in annual revenues, we have more than $700 million in market value of our stock held by non-affiliates, or we issue more than $1 billion of non-convertible debt over a three-year period. We may choose to take advantage of some but not all of these reduced burdens. We have not taken advantage of any of these reduced reporting burdens in this 10K, although we may choose to do so in future filings. If we do, the information that we provide stockholders may be different than you might get from other public companies that comply with public company effective dates.

Additional stock offerings in the future may dilute your percentage ownership of our company.

 

Given our plans and expectations that we may need additional capital and personnel, we may need to issue additional shares of common stock or securities convertible or exercisable for shares of common stock, including convertible preferred stock, notes, stock options or warrants. The issuance of additional securities in the future will dilute the percentage ownership of then current stockholders.

 

You will experience immediate and substantial dilution as a result of this offering and may experience additional dilution in the future.

 

You will incur immediate and substantial dilution as a result of this offering. After giving effect to the sale by us of 5,000,000 shares offered in this offering at an assumed public offering price of $3.00 per share, and after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, investors in this offering can expect an immediate dilution of approximately $2.881 per share. See “Dilution” below for a more detailed discussion of the dilution you will incur if you purchase our common stock in the offering.

 

Management will have broad discretion as to the use of the proceeds from this offering and may not use the proceeds effectively.

 

Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds from this offering and could spend the proceeds in ways that may not improve our results of operations or enhance the value of our common stock. Our failure to apply these funds effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business and cause the price of our common stock to decline.

 

The Company is a “controlled company” within the meaning of the applicable rules of Nasdaq and, as a result, we qualify for exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements. If the Company relies on these exemptions, its stockholders will not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to such requirements.

 

The Company is currently a “controlled company” within the meaning of the applicable rules of Nasdaq. Michael D. Farkas, the Chief Executive Officer of NextNRG, is the holder (through NextNRG) and the beneficial owner of approximately 66.5% of the Company’s common stock and therefore controls a majority of the voting power of the Company’s outstanding common stock and accordingly, he has the ability to determine all matters requiring approval by stockholders. After the closing of this offering and the closing of the acquisition of NextNRG, Mr. Farkas will control approximately 75.2 of the voting power of our outstanding common stock, and, therefore will control a majority of the voting power of the Company’s outstanding common stock and accordingly, he will have the ability to determine all matters requiring approval by stockholders. Additionally, at the closing of the acquisition of NextNRG, the Company has agreed to appoint Mr. Farkas to the board of directors as Executive Chairman and to appoint him as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Accordingly, after the closing of this offering and the closing of the acquisition of NextNRG, we will continue to be a “controlled company” within the meaning of the applicable rules of Nasdaq and, as a result, we qualify for exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements. If the Company relies on these exemptions, which it does not intend to do, its stockholders will not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to such requirements. Under these rules, a company of which more than 50% of the voting power for the election of directors is held by an individual, group or another company is a “controlled company” and may elect not to comply with certain corporate governance requirements, including the requirements:

 

  ● that a majority of the board consists of independent directors;
     
  ● for an annual performance evaluation of the nominating and corporate governance and compensation committees;
     
  ● that the controlled company has a nominating and corporate governance committee that is composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities; and
     
  ● that the controlled company has a compensation committee that is composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibility.

 

While the Company does not intend to rely on these exemptions, the Company may use these exemptions now or in the future. As a result, the Company’s stockholders may not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all of the Nasdaq corporate governance requirements.

 

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We estimate that the net proceeds of this offering will be approximately $13.3 million (or approximately $15.3 million if the underwriter exercises its over-allotment option in full) after deducting the underwriting discounts and commission and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

 

We intend to use the net proceeds received from this offering as follows: Approximately $1 million for expansion and the remainder for general corporate purposes, including working capital.

 

We will retain broad discretion over the use of these proceeds. Pending any use as described above, we intend to invest the net proceeds in high-quality, short-term, interest-bearing securities.

 

DILUTION

 

If you invest in our common stock in this offering, your interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the assumed public offering price per share of our common stock and the pro forma net tangible book value per share of our common stock immediately after this offering.

 

The net tangible book value (negative) of our common stock as of September 30, 2024 was ($47,432), or ($0.01) per share of common stock. Net tangible book value per share represents our total tangible assets less our total liabilities, divided by the number of outstanding shares of common stock.

 

Net tangible book value dilution per share to new investors represents the difference between the amount per share paid by purchasers of common stock in this offering and the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our common stock immediately after the completion of this offering. After giving effect to (i) the closing of the Share Exchange (which will occur concurrently with the closing of this offering), including our issuance of 100,000,000 shares of common stock and the acquisition of NextNRG thereunder, and (x) our sale in this offering of 5,000,000 shares of common stock at an assumed public offering price of $3.00 per share (gross proceeds of $15 million), after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and related estimated offering expenses of $1.725 million, our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value as of September 30, 2024 would have been $13,227,568 or $0.1189 per share.

 

This represents an immediate dilution in net tangible book value of $2.881 per share to purchasers of common stock in this offering, as illustrated in the following table:

 

Assumed public offering price per share       $3.00 
Net tangible book value per share as of September 30, 2024*  $(0.030)     
Prom Forma net tangible book value per share at September 30, 2024 before giving effect to the offering**  $0.000      
Increase in net tangible book value per share attributable to new investors  $0.119      
Pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share at September 30, 2024 after giving effect to the offering, debt conversions and related transactions**       $0.119 
Dilution per share to new investors       $2.881 

 

If the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares in full, pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value as of September 30, 2024 would increase to $15,286,318 or $0.1365 per share, and dilution be $2.863 per share.

 

*Represents the net tangible book value per share when only considering the Company’s financial data (the acquisition of NextNRG and the offering were not contemplated in this calculation), this is a stand-alone disclosure for this table and does not factor into the totals following it.

 

** Represents the net tangible book value per share when considering the pro forma combined financial data of the Company and NextNRG, inclusive of the offering and issuance of 100,000,000 shares of common stock related to the acquisition of NextNRG.

CAPITALIZATION

 

The following table sets forth our cash and capitalization as of September 30, 2024:

 

  ● on an actual basis (which reflects EzFill on a stand-alone basis);
     
  ● on a pro forma as adjusted basis, to give further effect to the (i) sale in this offering of 5,000,000 shares of common stock at an assumed public offering price of $3.00 per share, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions of $1,050,000 and estimated offering expenses of $675,000 payable by us, and (ii) the closing of the Share Exchange (which will occur concurrently with the closing of this offering), including the issuance of 100,000,000 shares and the acquisition of NextNRG pursuant thereto (the share issuance is with a related party, therefore, net effect on stockholders equity is zero).

 

You should read the following table together with “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” “Description of Capital Stock,” and the financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this prospectus.

 

   September 30, 2024

Total Capitalization  $5,621,003   $18,906,003 

 

* This amount reflects the issued and outstanding shares at September 30, 2024, of the Company of 6,208,073

 

** This amount combines the issued and outstanding shares as of the offering date of 6,208,073 and adds to it the 5,000,000 shares included in this offering, plus the issuance of the 100,000,000 shares in connection with the share exchange with NextNRG concurrent with the offering.

 

The information above is illustrative only and will be adjusted based on the actual public offering price and other terms of this offering determined at pricing and excludes:

 

 ●warrants to purchase 52,297 shares of common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $4.82;
 ●1,632,194 shares which may be issued upon the conversion of 363,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, each with a stated value of $10.00 per share, at 80% of $2.78 (the minimum price on the date of issuance);
 ●719,424 shares which may be issued upon the conversion of 140,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, each with a stated value of $10.00 per share, at 70% of $2.78 (the minimum price on the date of issuance);
 ●1,065,938 shares reserved for future issuance under our 2023 Equity Incentive Plan; and
 ●Warrants to purchase 250,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.75 (125% of the public offering price), to be issued to the Representative or its designees in this offering.

 

A $0.50 increase (decrease) in the assumed public offering price of $3.00 per share shown on the cover page of this prospectus, would increase (decrease) the amount of cash and cash equivalents, additional paid-in capital, total stockholders’ equity (deficit) and total capitalization on a pro forma as adjusted basis by approximately $2.3 million, assuming the number of shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. Similarly, each increase (decrease) of one million shares offered by us would increase (decrease) cash and cash equivalents, total stockholders’ equity (deficit) and total capitalization on a pro forma as adjusted basis by approximately $10.5 million, assuming the assumed public offering price remains the same, and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

The discussion contains forward-looking statements that are based on the beliefs of management, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, our management. Actual results could differ materially from those discussed in or implied by forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those discussed below and elsewhere in this prospectus, particularly in the sections titled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

 

Overview

 

We were incorporated under the laws of Delaware in March 2019. We are in the business of operating mobile fueling trucks and are headquartered in Miami, Florida. EzFill provides its customers with the ability to have fuel delivered to their vehicles (cars, boats, trucks) without leaving their home or office and to construction sites, generators and reserve tanks.

 

Our mobile fueling solution gives our fleet, consumer and other customers the ability to fuel their vehicles with the touch of an app or regularly scheduled service, and without the inconvenience of going to the gas station.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which were prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions for the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, and those differences may be material.

 

While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this prospectus, we believe the following discussion addresses our most critical accounting policies, which are those that are most important to our financial condition and results of operations and which require our most difficult, subjective and complex judgments.

 

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

 

Preparing financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and those estimates may be material.

 

Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and other assumptions, which include both quantitative and qualitative assessments that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances.

 

Significant estimates include, allowance for doubtful accounts and other receivables, inventory reserves and classifications, valuation of loss contingencies, valuation of stock-based compensation, estimated useful lives related to property and equipment, impairment of intangible assets, implicit interest rate in right-of-use operating leases, uncertain tax positions, and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding customer balances. Credit is extended to customers based on an evaluation of their financial condition and other factors. Interest is not accrued on overdue accounts receivable. The Company does not require collateral.

 

Management periodically assesses the Company’s accounts receivable and, if necessary, establishes an allowance for estimated uncollectible amounts. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon a review of the outstanding accounts receivable, historical collection information and existing economic conditions. Accounts determined to be uncollectible are charged to operations when that determination is made.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory consists solely of fuel. Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method of inventory valuation. Management assesses the recoverability of its inventory and establishes reserves on a quarterly basis.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company generates its revenue from mobile fuel sales, either as a one-time purchase, or through a monthly membership. Revenue is recognized at the time of delivery and includes a delivery fee for each delivery or a subscription fee on a monthly basis for memberships.

 

Under Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09 (Topic 606) “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, revenue from contracts with customers is measured based on the consideration specified in the contract with the customer, and excludes any sales incentives, discounts, rebates, and amounts collected on behalf of third parties.

 

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to a customer and is the unit of account under Topic 606. The Company’s contracts with its customers do not include multiple performance obligations. The Company recognizes revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for such products or services.

 

The following represents the analysis management has considered in determining its revenue recognition policy:

 

Identify the contract with a customer

 

A contract with a customer exists when (i) the Company enters into an enforceable contract with a customer that defines each party’s rights regarding the services to be transferred and identifies the payment terms related to these services, (ii) the contract has commercial substance and, (iii) the Company determines that collection of substantially all consideration for services that are transferred is probable based on the customer’s intent and ability to pay the promised consideration. The Company applies judgment in determining the customer’s ability and intention to pay, which is based on a variety of factors including the customer’s historical payment experience or, in the case of a new customer, published credit and financial information pertaining to the customer.

 

18

 

 

Identify the performance obligations in the contract

 

Performance obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the services that will be transferred to the customer that are both capable of being distinct, whereby the customer can benefit from the service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available from third parties or from the Company, and are distinct in the context of the contract, whereby the transfer of the services is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. To the extent a contract includes multiple promised services, the Company must apply judgment to determine whether promised services are capable of being distinct and distinct in the context of the contract. If these criteria are not met the promised services are accounted for as a combined performance obligation.

 

Determine the transaction price

 

The transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which the Company will be entitled in exchange for transferring services to the customer. To the extent the transaction price includes variable consideration, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration that should be included in the transaction price utilizing either the expected value method or the most likely amount method depending on the nature of the variable consideration. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price if, in the Company’s judgment, it is probable that a significant future reversal of cumulative revenue under the contract will not occur.

 

None of the Company’s contracts contain a significant financing component.

 

Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract

 

If the contract contains a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation. However, if a series of distinct services that are substantially the same qualifies as a single performance obligation in a contract with variable consideration, the Company must determine if the variable consideration is attributable to the entire contract or to a specific part of the contract. For example, a bonus or penalty may be associated with one or more, but not all, distinct services promised in a series of distinct services that forms part of a single performance obligation. Contracts that contain multiple performance obligations require an allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation based on a relative standalone selling price basis unless the transaction price is variable and meets the criteria to be allocated entirely to a performance obligation or to a distinct service that forms part of a single performance obligation. The Company determines standalone selling price based on the price at which the performance obligation is sold separately.

 

If the standalone selling price is not observable through past transactions, the Company estimates the standalone selling price taking into account available information such as market conditions and internally approved pricing guidelines related to the performance obligations.

 

The Company’s contracts have a distinct single performance obligation and there are no contracts with variable consideration.

 

Recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation

 

Revenue is recognized at the time the related performance obligation is satisfied by transferring a promised service to a customer.

 

The following reflects additional discussion regarding our revenue recognition policies for each of our material revenue streams. For each revenue stream we do not offer any returns, refunds or warranties, and no arrangements are cancellable. Additionally, all contract consideration is fixed and determinable at the initiation of the contract.

 

Currently, the Company only has two separate and distinct single performance obligations in its contractual arrangements.

 

First, the Company generally recognizes membership revenues at the end of each month after services have been rendered. There are no prepaid membership revenues.

 

19

 

 

Second, the Company recognizes fuel sales each month after delivery has occurred.

 

Contract Liabilities (Deferred Revenue)

 

Contract liabilities represent deposits made by customers before the satisfaction of performance obligation and recognition of revenue. Upon completion of the performance obligation(s) that the Company has with the customer based on the terms of the contract, the liability for the customer deposit is relieved and revenue is recognized.

 

Recent Accounting Standards

 

Changes to accounting principles are established by the FASB in the form of Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU’s”) to the FASB’s Codification. We consider the applicability and impact of all ASU’s on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, stockholders’ equity, cash flows, or presentation thereof. Management has evaluated all recent accounting pronouncements issued through the date these financial statements were available to be issued and found no recent accounting pronouncements issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, when adopted, will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

 

In March 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures (“ASU 2022-02”), which eliminates the accounting guidance on troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) for creditors in ASC 310, Receivables (Topic 310), and requires entities to provide disclosures about current period gross write-offs by year of origination. Also, ASU 2022-02 updates the requirements related to accounting for credit losses under ASC 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), and adds enhanced disclosures for creditors with respect to loan refinancings and restructurings for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty.

 

This guidance was adopted on January 1, 2023. The adoption of ASU 2022-02 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07 - Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This ASU improves reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact this will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 includes amendments that further enhance income tax disclosures, primarily through standardization and disaggregation of rate reconciliation categories and income taxes paid by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, on either a prospective or retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-09 on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

There are various other updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to a have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure which we use in our financial performance analyses. This measure should not be considered a substitute for GAAP-basis measures, nor should it be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP. We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the impact of net interest expense, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and stock compensation expense, provides useful supplemental information that is essential to a proper understanding of our financial results. Non-GAAP measures are not formally defined by GAAP, and other entities may use calculation methods that differ from ours for the purposes of calculating Adjusted EBITDA. As a complement to GAAP financial measures, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA assists investors who follow the practice of some investment analysts who adjust GAAP financial measures to exclude items that may obscure underlying performance and distort comparability.

 

The following is a reconciliation of net loss to the non-GAAP financial measure referred to as Adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023:

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure which we use in our financial performance analyses. This measure should not be considered a substitute for GAAP-basis measures, nor should it be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP. We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the impact of net interest expense, taxes, depreciation, amortization, impairment of goodwill, other intangibles and fixed assets, and stock compensation expense, provides useful supplemental information that is essential to a proper understanding of our financial results. Non-GAAP measures are not formally defined by GAAP, and other entities may use calculation methods that differ from ours for the purposes of calculating Adjusted EBITDA. As a complement to GAAP financial measures, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA assists investors who follow the practice of some investment analysts who adjust GAAP financial measures to exclude items that may obscure underlying performance and distort comparability.

 

The following is a reconciliation of net loss to the non-GAAP financial measure referred to as Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2023, and 2022:

 

   Year Ended December 31, 
   2023   2022 
Net loss  $(10,471,889)  $(17,505,765)
Interest expense, net   1,719,296    19,486

Gallons delivered   5,853,167    3,589,415 
Average fuel margin per gallon  $0.65   $0.50 

 

Revenues

 

We generated revenues of $23,216,423 for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to $15,044,721 for the year ended December 31, 2022, an increase of $8,171,702 or 54%. This increase is due to a 39% increase in gallons delivered as well as an increase in the average price per gallon. The additional gallons were in existing as well as new markets.

 

Cost of sales was $21,845,574 for the year ended December 31, 2023, resulting in a gross profit of 1,370,849, compared to $(173,513) for the prior year. The $6,627,340 or 44% increase in cost of sales is due to the increase in sales and an increase in labor costs primarily related to the expansion into new markets. Our gross profit improved year over year due to higher fuel revenues as well as increased delivery fees and driver efficiency.

 

Operating Expenses

 

We incurred operating expenses of $9,087,223 during the year ended December 31, 2023, as compared to $15,543,145 during the prior year, a decrease of $6,455,922 or 42%. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in payroll, sales and marketing, insurance, technology, and public company expenses offset by an increase in stock based compensation.

 

Depreciation and Amortization

 

Depreciation increased in the current year as a result of the increase in the fleet of delivery vehicles. Amortization decreased in the current year as a result of the impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets recorded in the fourth quarter of 2022.

 

Impairment of Goodwill, Fixed Assets and Other Intangibles

 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded impairment of $105,506 related to materials purchased for construction of delivery vehicles to reduce the carrying value to the expected realizable value. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $1,987,500 related to a license of technology for which the Company has proposed termination of the agreement and which was not expected to generate any revenue in 2023. Goodwill was considered impaired, and the Company recognized an impairment loss of $166,838, or the remaining balance of goodwill. This loss was primarily due to the fall in the Company’s stock price and the decrease of the Company’s market capitalization as well as past operating performance. As a consequence, management forecasts were revised, and additional risk factors were applied. The fair value of the intangibles was estimated using a combination of market comparables (level 1 inputs) and expected present value of future cash flows (level 3 inputs) and as a result impairment was recorded for a total of $482,064. Also, the Company recorded an impairment of $258,114 related to materials purchased for construction of delivery vehicles to reduce the carrying value to the expected realizable value

 

22

 

 

Other Income (Expense)

 

Interest expense increased in the current year due to increased borrowing for truck purchases.

 

Net Losses

 

We sustained a net loss of $10,471,889 for the year ended December 31, 2023, as compared to $17,505,765 for the prior year, a decrease of $7,033,876 or 40% as a result of the above.

Liquidity and Sources of Capital

 

The Company has sustained net losses since inception and does not have sufficient revenues and income to fully fund its operations. As a result, the Company has relied on equity and debt financings to fund its activities to date. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company had a net loss of $13,339,363. At September 30, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $58,741,247. The Company anticipates that it will continue to generate operating losses and use cash in operations through the foreseeable future.

 

The Company has limited capital and is currently relying on a related party to fund its operations. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain funds on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. There is also no assurance that the amount of funds the Company might raise will enable the Company to complete its initiatives or attain profitable operations. The Company’s operating needs include the planned costs to operate its business, including amounts required to fund working capital and capital expenditures. The Company’s future capital requirements and the adequacy of its available funds will depend on many factors, including the Company’s ability to successfully expand to new markets, competition, and the need to enter into collaborations with other companies or acquire other companies to enhance or complement its product and service offerings. There can be no assurances that financing will be available on terms which are favorable to us, or at all. If we are unable to raise additional funding to meet our working capital needs in the future, we will be forced to delay, reduce, or cease our operations.

Although our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 were prepared under the assumption that we would continue our operations as a going concern, the report of our independent registered public accounting firm that accompanies our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 contains a going concern qualification in which said firm expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, based on the financial statements at that time. The Company has sustained a net loss since inception and does not have sufficient revenues and income to fully fund the operations. As a result, the Company has relied on loans from stockholders and others as well as stock sales to fund its activities to date. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company had a net loss of $10,471,889. at December 31, 2023, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $45,317,050. We anticipate that we will continue to generate operating losses and use cash in operations through the foreseeable future.

 

Going Concern

 

As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company had:

 

● Net loss available to common stockholders of $13,424,197; and
● Net cash used in operations was $3,448,667

 

Additionally, at September 30, 2024, the Company had:

 

● Accumulated deficit of $58,741,247
● Stockholders’ equity of $3,558,365; and
● Working capital of $1,302,925

 

The Company anticipates that it will need to raise additional capital immediately in order to continue to fund its operations. The Company has relied on related parties for the debt based funding of its operations. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain funds on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. There is also no assurance that the amount of funds the Company might raise will enable the Company to complete its initiatives or attain profitable operations.

 

The Company’s operating needs include the planned costs to operate its business, including amounts required to fund working capital and capital expenditures. The Company’s future capital requirements and the adequacy of its available funds will depend on many factors, including the Company’s ability to successfully expand to new markets, competition, and the need to enter into collaborations with other companies or acquire other companies to enhance or complement its product and service offerings.

 

There can be no assurances that financing will be available on terms which are favorable, or at all. If the Company is unable to raise additional funding to meet its working capital needs in the future, it will be forced to delay, reduce, or cease its operations.

 

We manage liquidity risk by reviewing, on an ongoing basis, our sources of liquidity and capital requirements. The Company had cash on hand of $828,185 at September 30, 2024.

 

The Company has historically incurred significant losses since inception and has not demonstrated an ability to generate sufficient revenues from the sales of its products and services to achieve profitable operations. In making this assessment we performed a comprehensive analysis of our current circumstances including: our financial position, our cash flows and cash usage forecasts for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, and our current capital structure including equity-based instruments and our obligations and debts.

 

These factors create substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within the twelve-month period subsequent to the date that these financial statements are issued.

 

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a basis that assumes the Company will continue as a going concern and which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business.

BUSINESS

 

Overview

 

EzFill is a leading on-demand fuel delivery company in South Florida and the only mobile fueling company that combines on-demand fills and subscription services which fill customer vehicles on routine intervals for the consumer, fleet, marine and other specialty markets. The emergence of the digital technology, GPS-Based / On-Demand consumer deliveries, and the sharp increase in home delivery of products and services during the COVID-era are trends expected to continue in the post-COVID economy. The increased adoption rate of such ‘at home’ or ‘at work’ delivery of products and services has become the method both individual and commercial customers prefer.

 

EzFill provides customers in South Florida the ability to have fuel delivered to their vehicles (cars, trucks, and specialty vehicles) without having to leave the comfort of their home, office, and job site. EzFill’s app-based platform conveniently brings the gas station to customers with a growing fleet of EzFill-branded, Mobile Fueling Trucks. EzFill’s business verticals align to the high-use, high demand cases in vehicle operations. These are; individual CONSUMERS, COMMERCIAL entities and SPECIALTY vehicle markets.  
    An EzFill Mobile Delivery Truck

 

 
For CONSUMERS, EzFill services individual “consumer” customers directly at their residences or places of work. In the consumer vertical, EzFill customers sign-up for EzFill services individually, or as part of an employer which offers discounted EzFill services to their employees as an employee benefit while at work at offices, in office parks or on-job locations. Fuel deliveries are completed at optimal times during the day for ‘at work’ customers or at night for residential deliveries.
   
  In the COMMERCIAL vertical, EzFill provides vital fuel delivery services to commercial fleets of delivery trucks, rental cars, livery operators, and job sites. Deliveries for the commercial vertical are completed during down-times, when the majority of commercial vehicles are at designated locations. This method also allows EzFill to complete multiple fills at once, while providing the commercial customers the benefit of a fleet of fueled vehicles ready for operations on any given morning.
   
  In the SPECIALTY vertical, EzFill adapts to each market based on the type of vehicles that can benefit from “at location” fuel delivery. In EzFill’s home market, Florida, their “specialty” vertical services hundreds of boat owners at their homes or at marinas at which they are docked. EzFill’s specialty market also includes equipment rental companies, construction job sites, agricultural operations, motorsports events and recreational vehicle grounds.

 

EzFill Model – Resolving Pain Points in the Consumer and Commercial Fuel Customer Markets

 

EzFill’s experience in this market indicates that the legacy gas station model is ripe for disruption specifically by a model which works to address major issues with the status of the industry, such as:

 

  ● Convenience. People find going to the gas station inconvenient and time consuming. Leaving the house a little late in the morning on an empty tank means arriving late to the office or stopping for gas on your way home after a long day is inconvenient. This number does not include the time it takes to drive to and from the gas station. Our solution saves our customers valuable time and shaves time off of our customers’ commutes to and from work. Our Mobile Fueling Truck brings a convenient fueling solution that is disrupting the current industry by saving our customers valuable time and helping them to avoid the stress of not having a full tank of gas.

 

25

 

 

  ● Fleet Driver Expense. When fleet managers send their vehicles to the gas station to fill up, they are paying for: (i) the driver to take the vehicle to the gas station; (ii) the gas the vehicle consumes on the way to and from the gas station; (iii) wear and tear on the vehicle being driven to the gas station; and (iv) indirectly the downtime for the vehicle being driven to the gas station, which usually will be during the regular working day due to the fact that an employee must take the vehicle there. When fleet managers use EzFill, they only pay for gas and we fill up the vehicles after hours so there is no downtime during the regular working day.
     
  ● Fleet Driver Fraud. Research conducted by Fleet News confirmed the 64% of fleets have been the victims of fuel theft or fuel fraud. According to a survey conducted by Shell, 93% of fleet managers think that some of their drivers are committing fraudulent activity and 41% of fleet managers think that more than 10% of their drivers are committing fraudulent activity. According to Shell’s research, 48% of fleet managers think that improving practices to tackle fraud could reduce a fleets fuel spend by more than 5% and 14% of fleet managers believe it would reduce fuel spend by more than 10%. EzFill’s solution tackles fraud head on by taking the drivers out of the equation. EzFill brings the gas directly to our customers fleets and reduces the risk of driver related fuel fraud.
     
  ● Operating Costs. The rising cost of real estate in major metros over the past couple of years has caused many gas stations to close their doors, leaving major cities without significant competition, which could lead to higher local gas prices. According to data provided by Fueleconomy.gov there were 168,000 gas stations in 2004, compared to just 115,000 gas stations reported by marketwatch.com in February 2020 (a 31% drop). EzFill’s App-based approach lowers our underlying costs and allows us to offer gas with competitive pricing in each zip code in which we operate.
     
  ● Safety Concerns. Gas stations have a reputation of being unsafe locations. This reputation developed due to the many robberies and assaults that occur at gas stations. According to FBI crime data, over the past five years 1.3% of all violent crimes occurred at gas stations. Violent crimes such as robberies and assaults are commonplace at gas stations because often, customer’s need to exit their vehicles in remote and secluded areas, at late hours, with improper lighting and security at the location. EzFill’s Mobile Fueling Trucks address these safety issues by bringing the gas to the consumer, who, from the comfort of their home or office can order a fill-up via our App without even going outdoors. The customer simply needs to place the order and leave the gas tank access open on their vehicle.
     
  ● Fraud Concerns. Gas stations are hubs for fraud issues. These issues primarily emanate from gas stations employing mostly old-fashioned magnetic strip credit card readers. Gas stations experience hundreds of millions of dollars in credit card fraud annually. According to the Florida Department of Agriculture, more than 1500 skimmers were found at Florida gas stations in 2019. A study from FICO, found that fraud from credit card skimmers is increasing at a rate of 10% per year. The US Secret Service reports finding between 20 and 30 credit card skimmers at gas pumps per week. EzFill’s platform does not store any customer credit card data and uses the latest in credit card processing technology to verify cards and secure customers’ payments to ensure authenticity of purchases.
     
  ● Addressing Environmental Concerns. We can never eliminate our environmental exposure completely. However, by delivering fuel to areas with high vehicle density, we are lowering the environmental impact by reducing the number of separate trips our customers make to refuel their vehicles. Since EzFill sources direct from oil companies on a daily basis, we have a very high turnover of inventory and do not store our fuel in underground tanks. All our tanks go through a rigorous annual inspection, plus they are visually inspected before and after every shift to ensure proper fuel storage and no loss of vapors. A rapid turnover of inventory and daily tank inspections are not available for underground tanks used by retail gas stations.

 

 

 

● Sanitary and Touchless. According to a study conducted by the Kymberly Clark Group, the gas station pump handle is the dirtiest surface Americans touch on their way to work. Also, according to a recent study conducted by busbudy.com, gas station pumps have 11,000 times more bacteria than the common household toilet seat, while pump station buttons contain 15,000 times more. In addition to being germ and bacteria infested, a recent article by njtvonline.org highlighted the near impossibility of social distancing at self-service gas stations, further exacerbating the health risks of going to the gas station. Proper social distancing is required to help stop the spread of Covid-19. Our service is a sanitary and touch free way for our customers to get gas. We believe our service eliminates one of the dirtiest and most unhealthy places from our customers once mandatory to-do list.

Our Product Offerings

 

We provide gas delivery via our Mobile Fueling Trucks in the greater South Florida area as well as in the Tampa and Orlando areas and expect to soon begin fueling in other areas in Florida. Our goal is to service all our customers across all our lines of business at predictable locations during vehicle downtimes. Our fleet currently includes 24 Mobile Fueling Trucks that we utilize to deliver fuel directly to our customers. We have three major lines of business and to our knowledge we are the only company in the space which fuels all three verticals:

 

1. SERVICING CONSUMERS AT HOME AND AT WORK

 

We offer residential fueling services to customers who can request a fuel delivery through our app and have fuel delivered directly to their vehicle, from the comfort of their home or apartment building, while they go about their night. We offer convenient weekly schedules to our residential customers, so they can live with the comfort of knowing that they will never be without a full tank of gas when they need it. Additionally, our competitive pricing keeps our residential customers from having to travel out of their neighborhood for lower gas prices. Our residential customers currently pay a delivery fee of $4.99 for each delivery or they have the option to pay $9.99 per month for unlimited deliveries. We may increase these prices in the future. We currently offer delivery to residential customers in Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties, as well as the Orlando and Tampa areas, and expect to soon begin deliveries in other parts of Florida. Our service is a great new amenity for condominiums, which has been widely used by residents of the buildings we service and has been enhancing residents’ experience.

 

Through entering agreements with local and national businesses, we work directly with businesses human resource departments to offer employee perks, and fuel employees’ cars while they are working. This is a creative benefit for employers to offer, enabling their employees to have their cars filled, stress free. Additionally, we work directly with the landlords of corporate office parks to bring the amenity of EzFill to their tenants. Our corporate employee fueling is currently done at competitive prices with no delivery fee. Our corporate office park solution offers benefits to employers and EzFill. Benefits to employers include: (i) a new perk to offer their employees; and (ii) happier employees who do not have to waste precious time going to the gas station. Benefits to EzFill include: (i) multiple deliveries at one location creates efficiencies and cuts operating costs; (ii) the employers serve as “influencers” which reduces our marketing costs for each location; and (iii) push-marketing by the employers also results in more residential consumer fills.

 

2. SERVICING COMMERCIAL ENTITIES

 

We partner with and offer national and local businesses who operate fleets an alternative solution for fueling their fleet to reduce the businesses operational costs and improve fleet efficiency. Our solution for fleets helps businesses: (i) save money spent on expensive gas stations; (ii) save money on paying employees to go to gas stations; (iii) eliminate unnecessary wear and tear to Company fleet vehicles on trips to the gas station; (iv) better monitor their gas consumption; (v) eliminate employee mistakes (putting regular gas into a diesel engine); and (vi) prevent theft by employees (customers have reported instances where it was months before they realized their employee was making unauthorized charges on their fleet card). This product offering is sold with zero fees, our fleet customers pay only for the gas they consume. We may charge delivery fees to fleet customers in the future.

 

3. SERVICING SPECIALTY MARKETS

 

EzFill delivers fuel directly to other, market-specific personal and commercial vehicles and tanks. In our home market, the prevalence of boats and boat owners was the first specialty market we developed, particular to the south Florida area which is the base of our services. Marina gas stations are some of the highest priced in the country. We offer low prices and pre-scheduling so our marine customers can get affordable fuel whenever they need it. The same is true for the markets which we have targeted to enter. In these markets we find similar, market-specific vehicles which our future customers use for; construction or agricultural purposes, personal or recreational vehicle use, or sporting events where a large concentration of vehicles can be serviced at specific locations.

 

Customers

 

In addition to our individual, residential customers, we also have structured relationships with property management companies and builders who co-market our services as a benefit to their residents and allow our trucks to enter their communities to fill vehicle owners at their single family homes, condominiums or apartments. Employers who have offered at-work fueling as a corporate perk have included Ryder, Norwegian Cruise Lines, Carnival Cruise Lines, Royal Caribbean, Telemundo, Loreal, Y Green, and more. Customers we have signed up through our corporate offerings may also be customers of our residential offering. Our services are very flexible, and our residential customers do not have to sign any long-term commitments with us and can decide not to use our service whenever they choose.

 

Our commercial vertical has serviced the fleets for many national and local businesses, such as a leading national delivery company, a leading national grocer, a leading OEM, Enterprise, Telemundo, Easy Scripts and Air Around the Clock

 

In our specialty market vertical, we service hundreds of boats at various marinas across Miami-Dade and Broward Counties, as well as boats at customers’ homes. We are a preferred delivery partner for a mobile application with thousands of boat-owner users. We have recently begun developing this line of business and it is growing, mostly through existing customer outreach and strategic partnerships with marinas.

Software Systems, IT, User Interface and Experience

 

 

Our software systems provide us with logistical and cost saving efficiencies that allow us to forecast the need for truckloads of fuel to effectively service clusters of customers in a specific area or zip code. At the front end of our system, we employ an app-based approach that provides all our customers with an easy-to-engage user interface and ordering system. Customers are able to select the times and locations of their on-demand or routinely scheduled fills and manage their account on their mobile device or desktop system.

 

In the back end of our system, we aggregate customer orders based on their location and expected gallon demand for their vehicles. The aggregation of customer orders based on these variables triggers a truckload fill of one of our mobile tankers designated for each of the customer orders our system generates.

 

Our software and IT systems have been developed and customized in-house to provide cost-saving efficiencies which produce higher margins than traditional, gas station fuel margins.

 

We are planning to expand our software capabilities using AI and machine learning algorithms that will, among other things, automatically generate outbound “fill reminder” communications to customers based on their recorded usage amounts and time intervals.

 

Our Mobile Application

 

 

The EzFill Mobile Application has been designed for iPhone and Android devices with our customers and convenience in mind.

 

Sign Up: The EzFill App provides a quick and easy registration process.

 

Profile Management: The EzFill App provides easy profile management where users can seamlessly update personal information, such as: vehicle details and location, this way we are able to provide the best services to our customers.

 

Location Sharing: This feature enables our customers to simply drop a pin at their location on an integrated map which lets our driver know where to deliver the fuel.

 

Request Fuel Delivery: The EzFill App lets our customers pick the type and quantity of fuel to be delivered in addition to the time and date of availability.

 

Weekly Delivery Schedule: The EzFill App also enables our customers to preschedule weekly deliveries, on a specific day of the week. This feature enables our customers to request their delivery for a specific time window, this ensures they can schedule their fill up at convenient times when they would be busy attending other tasks and their car is idle.

 

28

 

 

Push Notifications: The EzFill App has a push notification feature. This allows us to keep customers informed of all the activities associated with the service they have requested. We also use it to keep our customers updated with recent offers and discounts, which helps to boost customer satisfaction and promotes our business.

 

Transaction History: The EzFill App offers our customers the ability to always view their transaction history. This gives our customers an option to check the previous fuel delivery requests and bills.

 

Our Market Opportunity

 

Information provided by Statista indicates that there are about 286 million registered cars in the United States as of Q1 2023. According to the US Energy Information Administration, in 2022 the US used approximately 369 million gallons of fuel per day, with Florida utilizing nearly 21 million gallons per day. According to Statista.com, in 2022, US gas stations produced revenues of roughly 738 billion dollars. EzFill wants to take advantage of the growing number of US drivers and the dwindling number of gas stations by bringing the gas directly to the consumers. We feel that our service is years in the making and solves many problems posed by the legacy gas station. EzFill presents a new way for Americans to get gas: at home, at the office, wherever, on demand.

 

The on-demand market continues to grow. On-demand companies are operating and growing in the:

 

  ● Trucking & Delivery Services
  ● Food Delivery Services
  ● Beauty Services
  ● Housekeeping Services
  ● Healthcare Services
  ● Laundry Services

 

EzFill believes that the on-demand market will continue to grow and this growth will benefit its gas delivery model.

 

 

We believe our market opportunity is to expand into major MSAs across the continental U.S. with sufficient concentration of business and residential customers. We want to be in locations where people rely heavily on their personal cars to get places. Based on our research, we have identified several major MSAs across the U.S that would be attractive for expansion.

 

As we expand to a new market, we plan to employ a strategy that has helped us build a strong base of business in our existing market. The strategy we developed begins with sales in our fleet category to build a base of business in the target city, while developing and strengthening our delivery operations. Next, after launch, we secure corporate and landlord agreements to allow us to begin marketing our services to their employees and tenants. These agreements include fueling at large office parks during daytime hours and fueling at residential buildings during nighttime hours.

 

We generate business through establishing corporate and landlord partnerships, we then leverage companies’ internal communication channels to market directly to their employees or residential tenants. By implementing our digital marketing campaigns as well as placement of our content throughout residential and corporate facilities, we are able to develop greater brand awareness. We coordinate with our partners to set up organic marketing efforts with our brand ambassadors to help increase recognition and assist users with downloading the app and setting up their accounts.

 

29

 

 

Our Growth Strategy

 

Our strategy is to leverage our established business partnerships and generate organic methods of acquiring new markets. This has given us significant brand recognition by the consumer and has enabled us to acquire competitor territories. In doing so, we have generated a substantial presence and footprint in the regional area in which we operate. As we continue to develop our business relationships and expand our geographic footprint in Florida, our goal is to open in new markets along the east coast.

 

EzFill’s current focus is on expanding its geographic footprint. We aim to open in new markets along the east coast in the future both organically and through acquisitions of existing companies in the space. We make our expansion decisions based off of research into optimal target markets where public transportation is less prevalent, leading to more residents owning cars and the areas where a demand for lifestyle improving technology is present. We also consider State/City/County regulations when assessing new areas to expand into. We are targeting high potential locations with the least regulations on mobile fuel delivery.

 

EzFill currently has strategic partnerships with businesses across industries such as property management, parking solutions services, travel industry, delivery industry, transportation and logistics, marinas, and other diversified business sectors. By establishing these strategic business-to-business relationships, we are able to offer cost effective business solutions, whether through human resource departments as employee perks, optimization of efficiency for fleet companies, or tenant satisfaction by adding amenities.

 

EzFill believes a strategic partnership with a major oil company will help with our expansion by enabling us to lower cost and attract a larger customer base by selling branded gasoline. However, there cannot be any assurance that EzFill will be able to obtain such a strategic partnership. The oil companies Exxon and Shell are both in the mobile fuel delivery space though investments in mobile fueling companies.

 

Technology License Agreement

 

On April 7, 2021, the Company entered into a Technology License Agreement with Fuel Butler LLC (“Licensor”), under which the Company licensed certain proprietary technology. Under the terms of the license, the Company issued 33,216 shares of its common stock to the Licensor upon signing. The Company also issued 41,520 shares to the Licensor in May 2021 upon the filing of a patent application related to the licensed technology. Upon completion of the Company’s IPO, 23,251 shares were issued to the Licensor. The Company will issue up to 91,344 additional shares to the Licensor upon the achievement of certain milestones. In addition, the Company has granted stock options for 66,432 shares at an exercise price of $3.76 per share that will become exercisable for three years after the end of the fiscal year in which certain sales levels are achieved using the licensed technology. The Company has the option for four years after the achievement of certain milestones to either acquire the technology or acquire the Licensor for the purchase price of 132,864 of its common shares. Until the Company exercises one of these options, it will share with the Licensor 50% of pre-revenue costs and 50% of the net revenue, as defined, from the use of the technology. Under the Technology Agreement, the Company licensed proprietary technology that it believed would enable the Company to expand its services to provide its fuel service in high density areas. Fuel Butler has delivered a purported notice of termination of the Technology Agreement based on certain alleged breaches arising from our failure to issue equity securities to Fuel Butler. The Company has been in communications with Fuel Butler regarding the termination of the Technology Agreement and continues to believe that the Company is in compliance with the Technology Agreement and that the Technology Agreement continues to be in force. While the Company contests Fuel Butler’s claims of breach and contends that in fact Fuel Butler is in breach, the Company has communicated to Fuel Butler that it wishes to terminate the Technology Agreement. The Company has sent a proposal to Fuel Butler whereby it would cease utilizing the Technology and Fuel Butler would return any shares it received under the Technology Agreement. Accordingly, the Company considers the license to be fully impaired and has fully amortized the license as of December 31, 2022.

 

Competition

 

EzFill is a mobile fuel delivery service and competes with other local fuel delivery companies and gas stations. We differentiate ourselves by allowing our customers to request our service via a mobile app and delivering the fuel directly to the end user. We use our innovative technology and excellent concierge service to offer convenient fueling solutions to all our vertical markets at different times of the day to maximize the efficiency of each mobile fueling truck. To our knowledge, there are no significant mobile fueling competitors in the markets we currently serve.

 

We distinguish ourselves from our competitors by:

 

  ● Prioritizing our customer’s experience and satisfaction;
  ● Streamlining our customers ordering experience;
  ● Rigorously vetting and training our drivers;
  ● Providing the latest in scheduling, GPS technology, and payment systems;
  ● Offering competitive pricing in the zip codes which we service;
  ● Providing all our customers with certified, accurate reports and detailed invoices.

 

Though the electric vehicle industry is growing, we do not consider this relatively new subsegment of the vehicle market a threat to our business model or growth trajectory. The vast majority of vehicles are gas or diesel powered and the entire fuel industry is a major component of the economy. According to way.com 6% of the vehicles sold in the U.S. in 2022 were electric vehicles. However, with the planned acquisition of NextNRG, EzFill hopes to be prepared for the electric future.

 

30

 

 

Additionally, the continued growth of the electric vehicle industry means more and more traditional gas stations are closing because of: (i) high overhead because of rising real-estate prices; (ii) lack of demand due to electric vehicle adoption; and (iii) their inability to fuel vehicles outside of their station. Our mobile fueling solution allows us to service many zip codes with one truck, so if sales slowdown in one area we are able to transition seamlessly to areas with higher demand.

 

Asset Purchase Agreement with Yoshi

 

On November 18, 2024, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement” and the transactions contemplated thereby the “Transactions”) with Yoshi, Inc., a Delaware Corporation (“Yoshi”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to purchase from Yoshi, and Yoshi agreed to sell to the Company, Yoshi’s mobile fueling assets as set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Assets”) for a total purchase price of $2,000,000 (the “Purchase Price”). The Purchase Price will be paid as follows: (i) $1,250,000 cash to be paid on or before the closing date, which is December 2, 2024 (the “Closing Date”); (ii) $500,000 in the form of the Company’s common stock to be paid on the Closing Date; and (iii) $250,000 in the form of a promissory note to be paid after 6 months but within 9 months of the Closing Date. The Company’s common stock to be issued by the Company to Yoshi as part of the Purchase Price will be issued based on the Nasdaq closing price for Company’s common stock on the last trading day prior to the Closing Date.

 

The Assets, as set forth in detail on Schedule 1 and Schedule 2 of the Asset Purchase Agreement, consist of all of Yoshi’s equipment and all the non-itemized or non-serialized equipment, parts, consumable and retail supplies and merchandise, office, shop and other equipment, machinery, fixtures, tools, attachments, hoses, cables, supplies, leasehold improvements and other tangible personal property used in Yoshi’s business as well as all of Yoshi’s rights to Yoshi’s business contracts used in Yoshi’s business. Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company will not assume, nor will it agree to pay, perform or discharge, any liability of Yoshi. Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, Yoshi agreed to pay all taxes associated with the Assets attributable to the taxable years or periods ending prior to the Closing Date. Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, Yoshi will maintain all rights and use of the name “Yoshi” or “Yoshi Mobility.” Each party will bear its own costs, fees and expenses in connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement and the Transactions.

 

On the Closing Date, the Company will pay the Purchase Price to Yoshi, and Yoshi will deliver to the Company (i) a bill of sale for each of the Assets, (ii) an assignment and assumption agreement, (iii) any certificates of title to motor vehicles then in Yoshi’s possession included in the Assets and (iv) evidence that any and all encumbrances on the Assets have been released and that termination statements with respect to all UCC financing statements relating to any such encumbrances have been filed, or will be filed promptly following the Closing Date.

 

Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, Yoshi and the Company agreed to indemnify each other for any losses incurred by a party as a result of the other party’s inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty, nonfulfillment, non-performance or other breach of any covenant or agreement in the Asset Purchase Agreement, or any arrangements or agreements made or alleged to have been made with any broker, finder or other agent in connection with the Transactions.

 

There can be no assurance that the Asset Purchase Agreement will close or that the Transactions will take place on the Closing Date as planned or at all.

 

After the review of Yoshi’s unaudited financials under the income, investment and asset tests of Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X, the Company believes that the purchase of the Assets from Yoshi is not considered significant under any of such tests.

 

The foregoing disclosure regarding the Asset Purchase Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Asset Purchase Agreement, which is incorporated herein by reference and attached hereto as Exhibit 10.89.

 

The NextNRG Acquisition and Perceived Impact on EzFill

 

The NextNRG transaction discussed below, while approved by our shareholders and management, has not closed yet. The NextNRG transaction will close concurrently with the closing of this offering and we will not complete this offering unless the closing of the NextNRG transaction can be completed concurrently with the closing of this offering. EzFill cannot tell you with any certainty that it will be able to properly integrate NextNRG, or that the integrated entities will be able to achieve the lofty milestones set forth in the transaction agreement, or that the achievement of any of the milestones will lead to the success of the combined entities.

Description of NextNRG’s Business

 

NextNRG Holding Corp. (NextNRG) is a developmental stage, Nevada corporation working on the development of artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) solutions in the renewable energy/wireless electric vehicle (“EV”) charging space. NextNRG plans to develop, deploy, and own AI/ML powered smart microgrids coupled with solar energy generation, battery storage and wireless EV charging solutions (where appropriate) all over the United States, and eventually globally.

 

What is a microgrid?

 

In simple terms, a microgrid is a small-scale power grid that can operate independently or collaboratively with other power grids. NextNRG’s technology is designed to mitigate risk of utilizing renewable energy, while maximizing energy output efficiencies. NextNRG believes that its smart microgrid technology will serve as an effective platform for integrating distributed energy resources (“DERs”) and achieving optimal performance in reduced costs and emissions while bolstering the resilience of a city, a building, or rural communities’ electrification systems. Additionally, they achieve cost savings through peak shaving and selling excess power to off-takers.

 

The microgrid, solar, and EV Charging markets in the U.S. have been growing steadily with the presence of key players engaged in research and development to increase efficiency and decrease the cost of the components. NextNRG believes the confluence of multiple clean energy trends creates a significant market opportunity. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (“EIA”), the U.S. spends $400 billion on electricity each year, of which $200 billion is spent on Commercial & Industrial properties. It is expected that an additional $98 billion of investment will be required to meet the country’s 2030 sustainability goals. Renewable energy microgrids have proven an effective tool to help customers, expand electrical grid capabilities, gain access to electricity where it is not easily accessible, respond to, and prepare for, natural disasters, and bring down electricity costs. Additionally, renewable energy microgrids are a viable solution for countries who would like to scale their renewable energy production and lessen their dependence on foreign oil supply. Finally, we believe it is necessary to rapidly increase the scale and scope of renewable generation assets in the U.S. in order to meet the various targets and commitments set by corporations and governments.

 

NextNRG Smart Microgrid:

 

NextNRG believes that through strategic deployments it should be able to build and operate solar energy systems coupled with its smart microgrid technology (“NextNRG Smart Microgrids”), on commercial properties, schools, hospitals, nursing homes, parking garages, large rural tracts of land, recreational facilities, tribal land, and federal, state, county, and municipal properties. The NextNRG Smart Microgrids will help customers gain access to electricity where not otherwise available, reduce electricity bills, progress towards decarbonization targets and support resource management needs throughout their asset lifecycles. NextNRG expects its primary product offering will be entering into leases or easements with building or landowners and power purchase agreements to sell the power generated by the solar energy system to those landowners, or various commercial, utility, municipal and community solar off-takers.

 

Utility Scale Smart Microgrid:

 

Additionally, NextNRG plans to offer its proprietary AI/ML powered smart microgrid technology to utilities and other energy producers/distributors through SaaS agreements. Next believes these customers will benefit from the Smart Microgrid technologies’ ability to:

 

●Provide real time data processing to improve overall efficiency and cost structure;
●Continuously optimize the system based on operational data;
●Learn optimal scheduling and dispatch of energy generation and storage;
●Predict changes in renewable energy source output and demand;
●Integrate renewable energy while maintaining reliability;
●Autonomously identify and addresses technical issues;
●Enhance resilience and lower electricity costs;

 

Wireless EV Charging:

 

Finally, in appropriate client locations, NextNRG anticipates deploying its wireless EV charging technology, once that product is ready for deployment. NextNRG believes that its wireless charging technology solves problems such as:

 

  ● The lack of charging infrastructure: Even when home-charging is taken into account, to properly match forecasted sales demand, the United States will need to see the number of EV chargers quadruple between 2022 and 2025, and grow more than eight-fold by 2030, according to S&P Global Mobility forecasts
●Range Anxiety. A fully charged vehicle can provide between 200-400 miles which causes worry, especially for long drives. With dynamic wireless EV charging, cars can charge on the road and maintain optimal charge levels.
●Ease of Use. Plugging-in can be easily forgotten. Our planned system will automatically connect the vehicle and account to the charger, streamlining the charging process and making it incredibly user-friendly.
●Safety. Tripping over a cable can not only cause physical injury but also damage the device and disrupt the charging process. To prevent this we plan that our patented technology can deliver a secure connection between the vehicle and charging station, providing peace of mind during the charging process.
●Theft/Vandalism of cables. The theft of copper from power lines can cause power outages and electrical fires, and with our innovative design your EV charging experience can be worry-free from theft and vandalism.
●Weather. No longer need to get out of your vehicle and face uncomfortable weather conditions to charge your car.

 

NextNRG’s prospective solutions are supported by seven patented technologies developed by Florida International University, exclusive licenses to which NextNRG acquired through the purchase of Stat-EI Inc. These technologies were tested on the largest smart grid dataset in the world. The patents target the support of two different renewable energy industry sectors - smart microgrids/Virtual power plants (“VPP”), and wireless power transfer (“WPT”) technology, created to wirelessly charge EVs. The licenses purchased from SEI are exclusive and worldwide.

Next Owned Smart Microgrid:

 

NextNRG believes that through strategic deployments it should be able to build and operate solar energy systems coupled with its AI/ML based smart microgrid technology (“NextNRG Smart Microgrids”), on commercial properties, schools, hospitals, nursing homes, parking garages, large rural tracts of land, recreational facilities, tribal land, and federal, state, county, and municipal properties. The NextNRG Smart Microgrids will help customers gain access to electricity where not otherwise available, reduce electricity bills, progress towards decarbonization targets and support resource management needs throughout their asset lifecycles. NextNRG expects its primary product offering will be entering into leases or easements with building or landowners and power purchase agreements to sell the power generated by the solar energy system to those landowners, or various commercial, utility, municipal and community solar off-takers. Additionally, NextNRG plans to offer its proprietary AI/ML powered smart microgrid technology to utilities and other energy producers/distributors through SaaS agreements.

 

The primary challenge that the renewable sources market faces is the uncertainty around energy generation.

The second challenge is the cost of building renewable energy microgrids. To address this challenge, NextNRG hopes to capitalize on government incentives currently available for the deployment of renewable energy solutions. NextNRG believes its offerings will provide multiple advantages to future customers relative to the status quo, such as:

 

● Lower electricity bills: By implementing our technology, our customers will be able to lower their cost of electricity. Solely deploying our smart microgrid technologies can generate up to 10% savings for customers.
● Increased accessibility of clean electricity: Through deployment of microgrid and solar solutions NextNRG believes it should be able to provide clean electricity to customers who otherwise would not have been able to construct on-site solar (e.g. apartment and condominium customers). This increases the total addressable market and enables energy security for all.
● Supporting clean energy ecosystem: Demand for clean sources of electricity is anticipated to continue to increase. NextNRG plans to support future customers in their continued transition to the clean energy ecosystem through its microgrid, solar and battery storage systems as well as wireless EV charging stations. It expects that its expansion of product offerings will allow it to support even more customers in this transition.

 

NextNRG is the owner of exclusive licenses to four patented technologies which cover the development and commercialization of AI/ML based smart microgrids and virtual power plants (“VPP”). The algorithms used to secure the patents were developed with the support and research of Federal agencies and have been tested and proven on the infrastructure of the largest renewable energy company in the world. Certain of the above technologies are currently deployed by a large utility for approximately six million of its customers. The combined technologies are referred to as the NextNRG Smart Microgrid and potential products based on these technologies are explained in more detail below.

Smart Microgrid Controller (US Patent No. 10326280)

 

● The Microgrid Controller is a pivotal component within the smart microgrid ecosystem, serving as the orchestrator of energy resources. It efficiently manages the integration and coordination of various power sources, including solar panels, and battery storage systems. By continuously monitoring energy production and consumption, the controller ensures optimal performance and reliability of the microgrid. It dynamically balances supply and demand, adjusting energy flows in real-time to maintain stability and prevent outages. This intelligent management enables seamless transitions between grid-connected and island modes, ensuring uninterrupted power supply during grid failures.
● The Smart Microgrid Controller uniquely addresses customer needs to optimize renewable energy use. As smaller versions of main energy grids, microgrids can operate in grid-connected and “island” mode as needed. For example, when severe weather affects the energy grid, a microgrid can operate autonomously using its local energy sources to power buildings or facilities. It connects and disconnects from the grid through a grid-forming inverter, which performs black-starts to independently restart the grid. Using the Smart Microgrid Controller ensures that the customer is always using its best and most reliable source of energy.

 

The RenCast Predictor (US Patent No. 11022720)

 

● RenCast is a AI/ML based tool designed to enhance the efficiency and reliability of renewable energy generation within the smart microgrid. By leveraging cutting-edge artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms, RenCast accurately forecasts the amount of energy that will be produced from renewable sources such as solar and wind. This predictive capability allows the microgrid to forecast and manage energy supply effectively, ensuring that energy storage and distribution are optimized. By analyzing real-time data from weather stations, historical energy usage, and sensor inputs, RenCast minimizes uncertainties and maximizes the utilization of renewable energy.
● The RenCast Predictor’s renewable energy generation forecast includes a 5-minute, 15-minute, 1-hour, or 7-day prediction with up to 93% accuracy. The system includes weather sensors and imaging cameras. Weather parameters include wind speed, wind direction, ambient temperature, precipitation, atmosphere turbidity, and translucency. The forecaster receives this data from a geo-satellite feed, estimates the cloud cover, and derives the cloud shading profile. The processor receives and uses aggregation data to forecast renewable energy generation.
● The RenCast Predictor uses the web service API to implement photovoltaic (“PV”)-generation forecasts into the algorithms (e.g., economic dispatch), enabling customers to accurately plan and manage renewable energy generation.

 

The Battery State of Charge (“SOC”) System (US Patent No. 10969436)

 

Battery storage is vital. It supports integrating and expanding renewable energy sources, such as solar power, while reducing reliance on fossil fuels. Storing excess energy generated during periods of high renewable generation (sunny or windy) helps mitigate the reliability issues associated with renewable power sources. This equipment can dramatically improve electrification in rural areas, on tribal lands, and in low-income communities in-need of clean, reliable power. Battery energy storage systems provide a versatile and scalable solution for energy storage and power management, load management, backup power, and improved power quality.

 

● The Battery SOC provides AI/ML systems to forecast SOC of the systems’ lithium-ion batteries.
● The system uses a multi-step forecasting process and experimentally obtained decreasing C-rate datasets and with ML to forecast the system batteries’ SOC. The multi-step approach combines at least one univariate technique with ML techniques to forecast first C-rate, voltage, current, and SOC percentage to the ML model and forecast the battery’s SOC using an optimizer and ML model. The parameters from a second C-rate are collected by the battery analyzer and can be stored on the machine-readable medium to train the ML model(s) before forecasting. The forecasted battery SOC can be displayed in operable communication with the processor, the machine-readable medium, and the battery analyzer. This enables the customer to always be informed on the stored energy and health of each battery in the system.

 

The Portable Emergency AC Energy (“PEACE”) Controller (US Patent No. 10958211)

 

● The Peace Controller is a smaller version of the smart microgrid that uses the same AI/ML technologies to provide a mobile source of renewable power in the case of local energy interruption. The controller’s short-term goal is to provide uninterrupted clean energy to consumers during and after natural disasters to power emergency appliances, and for daily use to reduce the energy costs. Long-term the controllers can be scaled up as medium-to-large scale power hubs to provide grid services and network resilience.
● During power outages the PEACE supplier serves as a mobile power source for users with PV and/or energy storage systems. PEACE can also provide power when users do not have sufficient solar energy for their needs. The supplier includes an inverter to create seamless three-way connection between a PV cell or system, an energy storage unit, and the power grid. Additionally, PEACE includes a web application that displays the location, battery SOC, power generation, local weather systems, and charts.

 

33

 

 

The RenCast Predictor, the Smart Microgrid Controller, Battery SOC, and PEACE Controller can be combined to turn a renewable energy microgrid into a “smart” system that uses AI/ML to increase the system’s efficiencies by up to 10%. Next’s smart microgrid solution aggregates accurate estimates of future energy generation and SOC and programs the Smart Microgrid Controller to optimize the energy use based on the customer’s needs.

 

HOPES Controller (“VPP”)

 

● The HOPES controller is still under development.
● The HOPES controller will allow microgrids in different locations to communicate and control to facilitate VPP applications and provide a VPP concept for grid-connected renewable energy sources.
● The software component will include predictive and prescriptive computation models to address and mitigate the concerns facing high-penetration scenarios into the grid. The controller allows consumers to integrate novel computational tools for state-of-the-art renewable energy generation forecasting, wide-area aggregation, optimize dynamic renewable hosting capacity, intelligently synchronize devices, and dispatch on-demand. The HOPES Controller will integrate and manage small-to-large-scale renewable energy solutions across smart grids. Additionally it will integrate renewable energies to the grid. The HOPES controller connects individual plants to build a VPP that transfers energy between locations connected through transmission lines based on availability and demand to improve the overall system resiliency.

 

The HOPES Controller will be able to:

 

● Conduct short-term forecasting of the power generated by the renewable energy power plant.
● Execute a dispatch for bulk energy transfer using a hybrid energy storage module to minimize renewable energy curtailment and increase the renewable energy hosting capacity.
● Predict renewable energy generation intermittencies with wide-area aggregation using a wavelet theory-based transformation model and cooperative game theoretic modeling.
● Conduct predictive smart load control to effectively use renewable energy and hybrid energy modules to address critical and deferrable loads and minimize system instabilities.
● Support functionalities for energy pricing and economics of the grid-connected renewable energy to ensure feasibility of intelligence and visibility of renewable energy.
● Work with utility-level applications like distributed energy resource management systems and advanced distribution management systems to optimize existing renewable energy power plants.

 

The NextNRG Smart Microgrid is designed to maintain grid stability and enhance operational efficiency through advanced monitoring and control systems. By integrating grid forming inverters and multi-level controllers, the microgrid dynamically adjusts to fluctuations in energy demand and supply. These components work together to ensure a consistent and reliable power supply, reducing the risk of outages and improving overall energy efficiency. The system’s real-time monitoring capabilities provide utility operators with valuable insights into grid performance, enabling informed decision-making and proactive management.

 

The first deployments of the NextNRG Smart Microgrid are expected to be on tribal land in the United States. NextNRG currently is working on a deployment on tribal land in the State of Louisiana. The reason NextNRG is targeting tribal land is because, in 2022, the U.S. Energy Department’s Office of Indian Energy issued a report citing that nearly 17,000 tribal homes were without electricity, with most being in southwestern states and in Alaska. Assistant Secretary for Indian Affairs Mr. Bryan Newland testified before Congress that 1 in 5 homes on the Navajo Nation and more than one-third of homes on the neighboring Hopi reservation are without electricity. Our goal is to work with the Native American Tribes to reduce this number to zero.

 

The second and third planned deployments are in underserved communities located in the City of Newton, Texas and the City of Havana Florida. NextNRG has filed grant applications with the DOE for those deployments. To date, NextNRG through its subsidiary Next NRG, LLC has filed for $49.5 million in grant funding with the DOE.

 

NextNRG is in preliminary discussions with seven Native American Tribes to deploy 5 mWh Smart Microgrids on their properties. In total, NextNRG has nearly approx. $750 Million in planned smart microgrid deployments, all of these projects are in different phases of the project timeline. The projects vary from municipal property to Tribal land, to commercial facilities (healthcare, office space, multifamily, and amusement parks).

 

NextNRG also hopes to utilize its AI/ML Smart Microgrid systems to convert shuttered coal-fired power plants into solar energy producing facilities.

 

34

 

 

NextNRG believes, that utility companies; microgrid companies; and renewable energy generation companies will all be able to capitalize on the advantages of the NextNRG smart microgrid technology and therefore NextNRG plans to offer its technology to these companies under a SaaS model.

 

At each location where the NextNRG Smart Microgrid is deployed, NextNRG plans to evaluate the possibility of deploying NextNRG’s wireless EV charging solutions. These solutions are explained in more detail below.

 

Wireless EV charging uses resonant electromagnetic induction to transmit a current, this process is also known as “inductive charging” or “wireless power transfer” (“WPT”). Wireless charging utilizes a charging pad installed in the ground and a similar pad installed on the bottom of a car, when the pads align, charging automatically begins.

 

Wireless EV charging offers several benefits:

 

● By definition, the number one benefit of wireless EV charging is that there are no wires. EV owners do not need to carry heavy charging cables or plug their cars in at every charging station, alleviating range anxiety.
● EV charging cables can become damaged over time, particularly in extreme heat and cold areas, which can be hazardous to the vehicle and its owner. No wires mean less risk, and replacing cables is expensive, too.
●

Wireless charging is simply more convenient, even when only available as static charging – and if and when dynamic charging becomes a reality, it will be extremely convenient as well.

● Wireless charging is more efficient than a traditional plug in charger.

 

Wireless Charging Parking Bumper (US Patent No. 10836269B2)

 

NextNRG’s primary patent covers an electric vehicle charging station, designed as a bumper which ensures proper alignment between the vehicle’s battery charger and the charger pad in the charging station.

 

● Integrated sensors detect the vehicle’s position as it parks.
● A built-in radio frequency receiver identifies the vehicle through a unique code.
● Once the system verifies payment with a server, an internal processor activates wireless, inductive charging.
● The entire setup offers a seamless integration of sleek design, precise vehicle detection, and secure payment verification for efficient charging.
● NextNRG’s parking bumper patent is the integration of a networked wireless charging bumper with a contactless payment system, and advanced communication protocols and encryption methods.

 

NextNRG believes its parking bumper patent is the key to commercializing wireless EV charging, the automated verification and payment system is expected to be the most seamless way to start a charge.

 

NextNRG also holds the exclusive license for three patents in the WPT space - two for the static transfer of energy and one for the dynamic transfer of energy. The licensed WPT solutions are based on a unique analog architecture. The static solution also provides a bi-direction (grid to vehicle and vehicle to grid) power transfer which allows a charged EV to serve as a reserve generator for the home in case of power failure.

 

Bidirectional Wireless Power Transfer (US Patent No. 10637294B2)

 

This patent describes a system capable of wirelessly transferring power in both directions. This technology is designed for efficient and safe power exchange, which could be particularly useful in scenarios where power needs to be sent back to the grid during peak demand, and/or power outages.

 

Advancements in Inductive Power Transfer (US Patent No. 9919610B1)

 

This patent focuses on enhancing the capabilities of wireless power transfer systems. The improvements include increasing the efficiency of power transfer, extending the longevity of the system and broadening its applicability across various contexts.

 

Wireless EV Charging Station for Static and Dynamic Charging (US Patent No. 9731614B1)

 

This patent details a wireless charging station specifically designed for EVs. It has the capability to charge EVs both when they are stationary (static) and while they are in motion (dynamic). The dynamic charging allows for continuous charging, potentially revolutionizing the way EVs maintain battery levels.

 

To date, NextNRG’s static and dynamic solutions have been designed and prototypes are being tested at 25 kwh of output in a laboratory environment at FIU, with plans to expand the output capacity to 1mwh and above. NextNRG expects for this static WPT solution to automate EV charging such that drivers do not need to do anything to charge. There are no cables inside or outside of the car. NextNRG’s static and dynamic solutions are not expected to be affected by rain, snow, ice, dust, or dirt. They will be a clean and safe way to charge EVs.

 

NextNRG expect that its static WPT systems will be bidirectional, this means that they will support connecting grid-to-vehicle (“G2V”) and vehicle-to-grid (“V2G”). NextNRG is unaware of any other WPT system which has V2G capabilities. For homeowners who want to deploy solar and microgrid solutions at their home, with our WPT system we expect for those homeowners to be able to utilize their car as a battery storage system. Additionally, in emergency outage situations homeowners with our WPT system will be able to maintain power by using our V2G capabilities.

 

Additionally, through an integration with our the Smart Microgrid deployments, NextNRG plans for its WPT systems to be able to integrate with the grid to help create a resilient network to handle disaster conditions. For example, during a hurricane in areas with power outages, EVs with V2G capability would be able to power hospitals, homes, and other critical infrastructure to create a reliable, longer lasting energy source.

 

NextNRG expects for its dynamic WPT solution to be implemented on highways and public roads so it can provide essentially unlimited range for EVs without plugging-in or stopping for recharging. These solutions will revolutionize the future of transportation systems. NextNRG is working with FIU to deploy the dynamic WPT solution as a pilot for use on their campus and demonstrate its capabilities.

 

NextNRG believes that it is positioning itself to be the only wireless EV charging company to able to offer a combination of: (i) wireless charging outputs from 25kwh to over 1mwh; (ii) bi-directional wireless charging; and (iii) both static and dynamic wireless EV charging.

 

The microgrid, solar, and EV Charging markets in the U.S. have been growing steadily with the presence of key players engaged in research and development to increase efficiency and decrease the cost of the components. NextNRG believes the confluence of multiple clean energy trends creates a significant market opportunity. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (“EIA”), the U.S. spends $400 billion on electricity each year, of which $200 billion is spent on Commercial & Industrial properties. It is expected that an additional $98 billion of investment will be required to meet the country’s 2030 sustainability goals. Renewable energy microgrids have proven an effective tool to help customers, expand electrical grid capabilities, gain access to electricity where it is not easily accessible, respond to, and prepare for, natural disasters, and bring down electricity costs. Additionally, renewable energy microgrids are a viable solution for countries who would like to scale their renewable energy production and lessen their dependence on foreign oil supply. Finally, we believe it is necessary to rapidly increase the scale and scope of renewable generation assets in the U.S. in order to meet the various targets and commitments set by corporations and governments.

 

Revenue Sources

Agreements and Collaborations

 

License Agreements with Florida International University

 

NextNRG holds exclusive licenses to a portfolio of seven patents owned by FIU. Under the licensing agreements NextNRG is obligated to pay fixed royalty payments for the licenses to FIU on an annual basis. The terms of the licenses continue for the life of the patents or until terminated by either party, pursuant to the terms of the licenses. NextNRG also has certain performance obligations pursuant to the terms of the licenses.

 

Agreement with Midwest

 

NextNRG and Midwest have entered an agreement to work together to establish a greenfield facility for the manufacturing of battery-energy-storage systems (BESS) in the United States of America. While some of the components will be sourced from India in the initial phase, localization of components and sub-systems will be made a priority of the parties. In the interim period, Midwest will supply the products and services for NextNRG’s current planned deployments. The scope of such supply includes BESS, solar panels, as well as design services. The collaboration with Midwest is expected to meet the requirements of the “Made in America” and produce local products which are key to the energy transition goals of the US. Further, this activity is expected to qualify for and attract public financing, earn tax credits, and cut down the overall costs of deployment of the solutions offered by NextNRG.

 

Intellectual Property

 

NextNRG is the owner of US Patent No. 10,836,269 B2 which is a patent for an inductive charging parking bumper with automatic payment processing.

 

NextNRG’s licenses from FIU relate to the following U.S. patents covering wireless electric vehicle charging: US Patents Numbered: 10637294; 9919610; and 9731614.

 

NextNRG’s licenses from FIU relate to the following U.S. patents covering smart microgrid technology: US Patents Numbered: 10326280; 10969436; 10958211; and 11022720.

 

NextNRG has also filed trademark applications for “NextCharge,” “Next Charge,” “Next Charging,” “NextCharging,” “NextNRG,” “NextNRG,” and the NextNRG logo.

 

NextNRG owns the domain names: NextCharging.com; NextNRG.com; NXXT.energy; and NextNRG.energy

 

Regulatory

 

Although NextNRG is not regulated as a public utility in the United States under applicable national, state or other local regulatory regimes where it conducts business, it expects to compete primarily with regulated utilities. As a result, it has developed and is committed to maintaining a policy team to focus on the key regulatory and legislative issues impacting the entire industry. It believes these efforts help it better navigate local markets through relationships with key stakeholders and facilitate a deep understanding of the national and regional policy environment.

 

To operate its systems, NextNRG may need to obtain interconnection permission from the applicable local primary electric utility. Depending on the size of the solar energy system and local law requirements, when needed interconnection permission will be provided by the local utility directly to NextNRG and/or future customers. In almost all cases, interconnection permissions are issued on the basis of a standard process that has been pre-approved by the local public utility commission or other regulatory body with jurisdiction over net metering policies. As such, no additional regulatory approvals are required once interconnection permission is given.

 

NextNRG’s future operations will be subject to stringent and complex federal, state and local laws, including regulations governing the occupational health and safety of our employees and wage regulations. For example, it is subject to the requirements of the federal Occupational Safety and Health Act, as amended (“OSH Act”), and comparable state laws that protect and regulate employee health and safety. NextNRG endeavors to maintain compliance with applicable OSH Act and other comparable government regulations.

 

Government Incentives

 

Federal, state and local government bodies provide incentives to owners, distributors, system integrators and manufacturers of solar energy systems to promote solar energy in the form of rebates, tax credits, payments for renewable energy credits (“RECs”) associated with renewable energy generation and exclusion of solar energy systems from property tax assessments. These incentives should enable NextNRG to lower the price it will charge future customers for energy from, and to lease, solar energy systems, helping to catalyze customer acceptance of solar energy as an alternative to utility-provided power. In addition, for some investors, the acceleration of depreciation creates a valuable tax benefit that reduces the overall cost of the solar energy system and increases the return on investment.

The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IRA”), which was passed in August 2022, substantially changed and expanded existing federal tax benefits for renewable energy. The IRA extended the existing framework for investment tax credits (“ITC”) offered by the federal government under Section 48(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) for the installation of certain solar power facilities owned for business purposes. Prior to the IRA, if construction on the facility began before January 1, 2020, the amount of the ITC available was 30%, if construction began during 2020, 2021, or 2022 the amount of the ITC available was 26%, with additional step downs in later years. Projects placed in service before January 1, 2022 are still set at 26%. However, with the enactment of the IRA, solar power facilities installed between 2022 and 2032 will receive a 30% ITC of the cost of installed equipment for ten years so long as the facilities meet wage and apprenticeship requirements or are less than 1 MWac, which will decrease to 26% for solar power facilities installed in 2033 and to 22% for solar power facilities installed in 2034; and for those solar power facilities installed in 2022, the ITC has increased from 22% to 30% if the ITC has not yet been claimed. The prevailing wage rates also must be paid for alteration and repair during the 5 years after a project is placed in service.

 

Pursuant to the IRA, certain ITC projects are eligible for a 10% domestic content bonus so long as the facilities meet wage and apprenticeship requirements, if all the steel and iron are produced in the United States and at least 40% of the facility is produced in the United States, which domestic content percentage requirement increases for facilities that start construction after 2024 and eventually reach 55% for projects which begin construction in 2027 or later.

 

Pursuant to the IRA, certain ITC projects are eligible for an additional 10% or 20% energy community bonus so long as the facilities meet wage and apprenticeship requirements, and if the facility owner applies for and receives an environmental justice allocation from the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”). Solar (and certain related storage) facilities that are less than 5 MWac that are either located in a low-income community or on Indian land, or are part of a qualified low-income residential building project or a qualified low-income economic benefit project qualify. For example, qualified low-income economic benefit projects can receive a 20% bonus if low-income households receive at least one-half of the financial benefits. The IRS provided taxpayers guidance in Notice 2023-18 for determining the requirements for allocation of the ITC bonus. The IRA also included additional incentives, including in relation to stand-alone storage and claiming interconnection costs under the ITC in certain situations.

 

Additionally, the Inflation Reduction Act has secured historic levels of funding specifically for Tribal Nations and Native communities, including $32 billion in the American Rescue Plan, $13 billion in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, and more than $720 million in the IRA.

 

The U.S. Department of Energy’s Clean Energy for Low Income Communities Accelerator partnered with state and local leaders that committed $335 million to help 155,000 low-income households access renewable energy and efficiency to save up to 30% or more on energy bills.

 

In addition to the incentives at the federal government, more than half of the states, and many local jurisdictions, have established property tax incentives for renewable energy systems that include exemptions, exclusions, abatements and credits. Approximately thirty states and the District of Columbia have adopted a renewable portfolio standard (and approximately eight other states have some voluntary goal) that requires regulated utilities to procure a specified percentage of total electricity delivered in the state from eligible renewable energy sources, such as solar energy systems, by a specified date. To prove compliance with such mandates, utilities must surrender solar renewable energy credits (“SRECs”) to the applicable authority. Solar energy system owners such as our investment funds often are able to sell SRECs to utilities directly or in SREC markets. While there are numerous federal, state and local government incentives that benefit our business, some adverse interpretations or determinations of new and existing laws can have a negative impact on NextNRG’s business.

 

Manufacturing and Supply

 

NextNRG plans to purchase equipment, including solar panels, inverters, batteries, wireless charging station components from a variety of manufacturers and suppliers. If one or more of the suppliers and manufacturers that NextNRG relies upon to meet anticipated demand reduces or ceases production, it may be difficult to quickly identify and qualify alternatives on acceptable terms. In addition, equipment prices may increase in the coming years, or not decrease at the rates it has historically experienced, due to tariffs or other factors. Eventually, NextNRG believes that through its agreement with Midwest, it will be manufacturing some, if not all, of its products in-house.

 

Employees

 

As of November 14, 2024, NextNRG has 11 full-time employees.

 

Facilities

 

NextNRG leases approx. 3,000 square feet of office space, located at 407 Lincoln Road, Ste 9F, Miami Beach, FL 33139.

 

EzFill’s platform aligns with NextNRG’s goal of developing wireless/touchless refueling stations nationwide. By integrating with EzFill’s platform, NextNRG’s wireless/touchless fueling centers can promote a unified, forward-thinking approach to refueling services where both ICE and EV refueling/recharging services co-exist. As EVs continue to claim a larger market share of vehicle sales, traditional gas station investments are poised to decline in value. This shift augments the potential value of EzFill’s app-based fuel delivery services, especially with the decline in traditional gas stations. By leveraging EzFill’s distinct proficiency in app-based fuel delivery, this venture is positioned not only as today’s premier integrated ICE provider but also as the EV trailblazer of tomorrow. Therefore, we believe that the planned acquisition of NextNRG will create a leader in the ICE touchless fueling, wireless EV charging, and the broader renewable energy solutions industry.

Director Independence

 

Jack Leibler, Bennet Kurtz, and Sean Oppen are each “independent” within the meaning of Nasdaq Rule 5605(b)(1).

 

The definition of “independent director” included in the Stock Market Rules includes a series of objective tests, such as that the director is not an employee of the Company, has not engaged in various types of specified business dealings with the Company, and does not have an affiliation with an organization that has had specified business dealings with the Company. Consistent with the Company’s corporate governance principles, the Board’s determination of independence is made in accordance with the Stock Market Rules, as the Board has not adopted supplemental independence standards. As required by the Stock Market Rules, the Board also has made a subjective determination with respect to each director that such director has no material relationship with the Company (either directly or as a partner, stockholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with the Company), even if the director otherwise satisfies the objective independence tests included in the definition of an “independent director” included in the Stock Market Rules.

 

To facilitate this determination, annually each director completes a questionnaire that provides information about relationships that might affect the determination of independence. Management provides the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee and our Board with relevant facts and circumstances of any relationship bearing on the independence of a director or nominee that is outside the categories permitted under the director independence guidelines.

 

Board Leadership Structure

 

Our Board believes it is important to retain flexibility in allocating the responsibilities of the CEO and Chairman of the Board in any way that is in the best interests of our Company based on the circumstances existing at a particular point in time. Accordingly, we do not have a strict policy on whether these roles should be served independently or jointly. Currently, we do not have anyone service as Chairman of the Board. Mr. Levy currently serves as our Interim CEO.

 

We do not have a separate Lead Independent Director.

 

The Board’s Role in Risk Oversight

 

The Board as a whole actively oversees management of the Company’s risks and looks to its audit committee, as well as senior management, to support the Board’s oversight role. The Company’s Audit Committee assists with oversight of financial risks. The full Board regularly receives information through committee reports and from members of senior management on areas of material risk to the Company, including operational, financial, legal and regulatory, technical and strategic risks.

 

Meetings and Committees of the Board of Directors

 

Our business, property and affairs are managed under the direction of our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors provides management oversight, helps guide the Company on strategic planning and approves the Company’s operating budgets. Our independent directors meet regularly in executive sessions. Members of our Board are kept informed of our business through discussions with our Chief Executive Officer and other officers and employees, by reviewing materials provided to them, by visiting our offices and by participating in meetings of the Board and its committees.

 

Our Board holds regularly scheduled quarterly meetings. In addition to the quarterly meetings, typically there is at least one other regularly scheduled meeting and other communication each year.

Board Committees

 

Our Board has established an Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee.

 

Each of the above-referenced committees operates pursuant to a formal written charter. The charters for these committees, which have been adopted by our Board, contain a detailed description of the respective committee’s duties and responsibilities and are available on our website at https://ezfl.com/ under the “Investors – Governance” tab.

 

Below is a description of each committee of the Board of Directors. Each of the committees has authority to engage legal counsel or other experts or consultants as it deems appropriate to carry out its responsibilities. The Board of Directors has determined that each member of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee meet the independence requirements under the NASDAQ’s current listing standards and each member is free of any relationship that would interfere with his individual exercise of independent judgment.

 

The Audit Committee

The Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Kurtz is an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of Section 407 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K. For a description of Mr. Kurtz’s relevant experience, please see his biographical information above.

 

The Compensation Committee

 

Our Board formed a Compensation Committee comprised of members who are “Non-Employee Directors” within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and “outside directors” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code. They are also “independent” directors within the meaning of Nasdaq Rule 5605(b)(1). The Compensation Committee’s responsibilities include: (1) to review and approve all corporate goals and objectives applicable to the compensation of the CEO, evaluate annually the CEO’s performance in light of those goals and determine and approve the CEO’s compensation level based on its evaluation, (2) to review and approve compensation of all other executive officers, (3) to review, approve incentive compensation and equity based plans and administer the Company’s incentive compensation and equity based plans, (4) to review and discuss with management the Company’s compensation discussion and analysis and recommend inclusion in the Company’s annual report and proxy statement, (5) to review and approve any employment agreements, severance agreements or plans for the CEO and other executive officers, (6) to determine stock ownership guidelines for the CEO or other executive officers and monitor compliance with such guidelines, (7) to review and recommend to the Board for approval the frequency with which the Company will conduct Say-on-Pay Votes and review and approve the proposals regarding the Say-on-Pay Vote and the frequency of the Say-on-Pay Vote to be included in the Company’s proxy statement, and (8) to review all director compensation and benefits.

Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee

 

Our Board formed a Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee. The committee is required to be comprised of entirely “independent” directors within the meaning of Nasdaq Rule 5605(b)(1). The responsibilities of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee include: (1) to determine the qualifications, skills and other expertise required to be a director of the Company and recommend to the Board for approval, a set of criteria to be considered in selecting nominees for directors (2) to identify and recommend candidates for nomination as members of the Board of Directors and its committees, (3) to develop and recommend to the Board a set of corporate governance guidelines, (4) to develop and recommend to the Board for approval a set of corporate governance guidelines applicable to the Company and to review these principals annually, (5) to oversee the Company’s corporate governance practices and procedures, (6) to develop a process for annual evaluations of the Board and its committees, (7) to review the Board’s committee structure and composition, (8) to identify, and make recommendations regarding the selection of candidates to fill any vacancy on the Board, (9) to develop and recommend to the Board for approval standards for determining whether a director has a relationship with the Company that would impair its independence, (10) to review and discuss with management disclosure of the Company’s corporate governance practices, including information regarding the operations of the Committee and other Board committees, director independence and the director nominations process, (11) to monitor compliance with the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, and (12) to develop and recommend to the Board for approval a CEO succession plan.

The Chair and members of each committee of the Board are summarized in the table below:

 

Name   Audit Committee   Compensation Committee   Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee
Bennett Kurtz – (Independent)   Chair   Member   Member
Jack Leibler – (Independent)   Member   Chair   Member
Sean Oppen – (Independent)   Member   Member   Chair

 

Consideration of Director Nominees

 

We seek directors with the highest standards of ethics and integrity, sound business judgment, and the willingness to make a strong commitment to the Company and its success. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee works with the Board on an annual basis to determine the appropriate and desirable mix of characteristics, skills, expertise, and experience for the full Board and each committee, taking into account both existing directors and all nominees for election as directors, as well as any diversity considerations and the membership criteria applied by the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee and the Board, which do not have a formal diversity policy, consider diversity in a broad sense when evaluating board composition and nominations; and they seek to include directors with a diversity of experience, professions, viewpoints, skills, and backgrounds that will enable them to make significant contributions to the Board and the Company, both as individuals and as part of a group of directors. The Board evaluates each individual in the context of the full Board, with the objective of recommending a group that can best contribute to the success of the business and represent stockholder interests through the exercise of sound judgment. In determining whether to recommend a director for re-election, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee also considers the director’s attendance at meetings and participation in and contributions to the activities of the Board and its committees.

 

The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee will consider director candidates recommended by stockholders, and its process for considering such recommendations is no different than its process for screening and evaluating candidates suggested by directors, management of the Company, or third parties.

 

When considering director candidates, the Nominating and Governance Committee will evaluate multiple factors in assessing their qualification. A candidate must have extensive and relevant leadership experience including an understanding of the complex challenges of enterprise leadership. An appropriate candidate will have gained appropriate experience and education in some or all of the key areas below.

 

  ● Relevant Sector Experience. Director candidates will have gained their leadership experience in sectors directly relevant to the Company’s business and/or served as the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer or other major operating or staff officer of a public corporation, with a background in marketing, finance and/or business operations.
  ● Operating in a Regulated Industry – Director candidates will have experience working in a highly regulated industry, such as pharmaceutical, medical device or health care.
  ● Corporate Governance Experience. Director candidates should have sufficient applicable experience to understand fully the legal and other responsibilities of an independent director of a U.S.-based public company.
  ● Education. Generally, it is desirable that a Board candidate should hold an undergraduate degree from a respected college or university and in relevant fields of study.

 

42

 

 

When further considering director candidates, personal attributes and characteristics will be considered. Specifically, these should include the following:

 

  ● Personal. Director candidates should be of the highest moral and ethical character. Candidates must exhibit independence, objectivity and be capable of serving as representatives of the stockholders. The candidates should have demonstrated a personal commitment to areas aligned with the Company’s public interest commitments, such as education, the environment and welfare of the communities in which we operate.
  ● Individual Characteristics. Director candidates should have the personal qualities to be able to make a substantial active contribution to Board deliberations. These qualities include intelligence, self-assuredness, a high ethical standard, inter-personal skills, independence, courage, a willingness to ask the difficult question, communication skills and commitment. In considering candidates for election to the Board of Directors, the Board should constantly be striving to achieve the diversity of the communities in which the Company operates.
  ● Availability. Director candidates must be willing to commit, as well as have, sufficient time available to discharge the duties of Board membership. Generally, therefore, the candidate should not have more than three other corporate board memberships.
  ● Compatibility. The Board candidate should be able to develop a good working relationship with other Board members and contribute to the Board’s working relationship with the senior management of the Company.

 

Implications of Being a Controlled Company

 

The Company is currently a “controlled company” within the meaning of the applicable rules of Nasdaq. Michael D. Farkas, the Chief Executive Officer of NextNRG, is the holder (through NextNRG) and the beneficial owner of approximately 66.5% of the Company’s common stock and therefore controls a majority of the voting power of the Company’s outstanding common stock and accordingly, he has the ability to determine all matters requiring approval by stockholders. After the closing of this offering and the closing of the acquisition of NextNRG, Mr. Farkas will control approximately 75.2 of the voting power of our outstanding common stock, and, therefore will control a majority of the voting power of the Company’s outstanding common stock and accordingly, he will have the ability to determine all matters requiring approval by stockholders. Additionally, at the closing of the acquisition of NextNRG, the Company has agreed to appoint Mr. Farkas to the board of directors as Executive Chairman and to appoint him as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Accordingly, after the closing of this offering and the closing of the acquisition of NextNRG, we will continue to be a “controlled company” within the meaning of the applicable rules of Nasdaq and, as a result, we qualify for exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements. If the Company relies on these exemptions, which it does not intend to do, its stockholders will not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to such requirements. Under these rules, a company of which more than 50% of the voting power for the election of directors is held by an individual, group or another company is a “controlled company” and may elect not to comply with certain corporate governance requirements, including the requirements:

 

  ● that a majority of the board consists of independent directors;
     
  ● for an annual performance evaluation of the nominating and corporate governance and compensation committees;
     
  ● that the controlled company has a nominating and corporate governance committee that is composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities; and
     
  ● that the controlled company has a compensation committee that is composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibility.

 

While the Company does not intend to rely on these exemptions, the Company may use these exemptions now or in the future. As a result, the Company’s stockholders may not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all of the Nasdaq corporate governance requirements.

 

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

 

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

 

Executive Compensation Objectives and Practices

 

We designed our executive officer compensation program to attract, motivate and retain key executives who drive our success. We strive to have pay reflect our performance and align with the interests of long-term stockholders, which we achieve with compensation that:

 

● Provides executives with competitive compensation that maintains a balance between cash and stock compensation, encouraging our executive officers to act as owners with an equity stake in our company;

 

● Ties a significant portion of total compensation to achievement of the Company’s business goals such as revenue, and Adjusted EBITDA targets;

 

● Enhances retention by having equity compensation subject to multi-year vesting; and

 

● Does not encourage unnecessary and excessive risk taking.

 

We evaluate both performance and compensation to ensure the Company maintains its ability to attract and retain superior employees in key positions and compensation provided to key employees remains competitive relative to the compensation paid to similarly situated executives of other companies our size.

 

Elements of Executive Compensation

 

Our compensation for senior executive officers generally consists of the following elements: base salary; performance-based incentive compensation determined primarily by reference to objective financial operating criteria; long-term equity compensation in the form of stock options and restricted stock; and employee benefits that are generally available to all our employees.

 

Base Salary

 

The Company provides named executive officers and other employees with base salary to compensate them for services rendered during the fiscal year. It is our policy to set base salary levels taking into account a number of factors, such as annual revenue, the nature of the mobile fueling business, the structure of other comparable companies’ compensation programs and the availability of compensation information. When setting base salary levels, in a manner consistent with the objectives outlined above, the Board considers our performance, the individual’s breadth of knowledge and performance and levels of responsibility. In determining salaries for 2022, we did not engage compensation consultants.

 

Mr. Michael McConnell’s annual base salary for 2022 was $330,000. Mr. McConnell resigned from the Company on April 20, 2023. Mr. Arthur Levine’s annual base salary in 2022 was $250,000.

 

Mr. Richard Dery’s annual base salary in 2022 was $288,750 effective January 1, 2022. Mr. Dery is no longer employed at the Company as of December 9, 2022.

Annual Performance-Based Incentive Compensation

 

Our performance-based incentive compensation program is designed to compensate executives when financial performance goals are achieved. Executives have the opportunity to earn annual cash compensation equal to a percentage of their base salary. For 2022, Mr. McConnell earned $0, Mr. Levine earned $0 and Mr. Dery earned $0, related to the cash compensation target. Mr. McConnell earned $0, Mr. Levine earned $0 and Mr. Dery earned $0 in shares and stock options related to the equity compensation target of our 2022 performance-based incentive compensation program.

 

Long-Term Incentive Compensation – Equity Compensation

 

Our executive officers are eligible for stock awards. We believe that stock awards give executives a significant, long-term interest in our success, help retain key executives in a competitive market, and align executive interests with stockholder interests and long-term performance of the Company. We have granted options as well as restricted stock under our 2022 plan and 2020 Stock Incentive Plan. Stock awards also provide each individual with an added incentive to manage the Company from the perspective of an owner with an equity stake in the business. Moreover, the vesting schedule (which is generally three years for employees and one year for non-employee directors, although this may vary at the discretion of the Compensation Committee) encourages a long-term commitment to the Company by our executive officers and other participants. Each year the Compensation Committee reviews the number of shares owned by, or subject to options held by, each executive officer, and additional awards are considered based upon the executive’s past performance, as well as anticipated future performance, of the executive officer. The Compensation Committee continues to believe that equity compensation should be an important element of the Company’s compensation package.

 

Typically, we have awarded stock options and restricted stock to executives upon joining the Company and thereafter grants may be at the discretion of the Board, a role that will be assumed by our compensation committee on a going forward basis. Generally, options are priced at the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of each grant, or, in the case of new employees, on such later date as the employee joins the Company. We also have granted restricted stock to members of the Board of Directors and executive officers from time to time.

 

We do not have a formal written policy relating to the timing of equity awards. We encourage, but we do not require, that our executive officers own stock in the Company.

 

Retirement and Other Benefits

 

All eligible employees in the United States are automatically enrolled in our 401(k) plan.

 

Perquisites and Other Personal Benefits

 

Limitation on Deduction of Compensation Paid to Certain Executive Officers

 

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, or Section 162(m) limits the Company deduction for federal income tax purposes to no more than $1 million of compensation paid to each of the named executive officers in a taxable year.

Compensation of Chief Executive Officer

 

Mr. McConnell’s annual base salary was $330,000 and he was eligible for additional cash and equity incentive compensation at the discretion of the Compensation Committee. Mr. McConnell resigned from the Company on April 20, 2023.

 

Mr. Levy was appointed as the Company’s interim CEO on April 24, 2023 by the Board. For his position as interim CEO, Mr. Levy will receive an annual base salary of $200,000, and subject to periodic review.

Entry into Material Definitive Agreement, as amended, with Related Party

 

On August 10, 2023, the Company, the shareholders (the “Next NRG Shareholders”) of NextNRG Holding Corp. (formerly Next Charging LLC (“NextNRG”)) and Michael Farkas, as the representative of the NextNRG Shareholders, entered into an exchange agreement, on November 2, 2023, the Company, the NextNRG Shareholders, NextNRG, and Mr. Farkas entered into an amended and restated exchange agreement, and on June 11, 2024, the Company, the NextNRG Shareholders, NextNRG and Mr. Farkas entered into a second amended and restated exchange agreement (as amended and restated, the “Exchange Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire from the NextNRG Shareholders 100% of the shares of NextNRG (the “NextNRG Shares”) in exchange for the issuance (the “Share Exchange”) by the Company to the NextNRG Shareholders of an aggregate of 40,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company. The Exchange Agreement provides that in the event NextNRG completes the acquisition of STAT-EI, Inc. (“SEI” or “STAT”), prior to the closing, then 28,000,000 shares will vest on the closing date, and the remaining 12,000,000 shares will be subject to vesting or forfeiture and in the event NextNRG did not complete such acquisition prior to the closing, then 14,000,000 shares would vest on the closing date, and the remaining 26,000,000 shares would be subject to vesting or forfeiture (such shares subject to vesting or forfeiture, the “Restricted Shares”).

 

NextNRG completed the acquisition of SEI on January 19, 2024.

 

As an additional condition to be satisfied prior to the closing, NextNRG is also required to take actions to record the assignment to itself of a patent mentioned in the Exchange Agreement.

 

On July 22, 2024, the Company and the Shareholders’ Representative entered into the first amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement (“First Amendment Agreement”) to add a new section 2.10 to the Second Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement. The new section 2.10 provides that, in the event that the Company at any time prior to the Closing undertakes any forward split of the common stock, or any reverse split of the common stock, any references to numbers of shares of common stock as set forth in the Second Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement shall be deemed automatically updated and amended at such time to equitably account therefor. Further, in the event the Company undertakes any forward split of the common stock or any reverse split of the common stock following the Closing, any references to any of numbers of Exchange Shares as set forth in the Second Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement shall be deemed similarly automatically adjusted to the extent still applicable, including, without limitation to the numbers of Exchange Shares vesting or being forfeited pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Second Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement.

 

On September 25, 2024, the Company and the Shareholders’ Representative entered into the second amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement (“Second Amendment Agreement”) to change the number of the Company’s common stock shares to be issued to the NextNRG Shareholders by the Company in exchange for 100% of the shares of NextNRG to 100,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

The Second Amendment Agreement also provides that in the event NextNRG completes the acquisition of STAT-EI, Inc. (“SEI” or “STAT”), prior to the closing, then 50,000,000 shares will vest on the closing date, and the remaining 50,000,000 shares will be subject to vesting or forfeiture (such shares subject to vesting or forfeiture, the “Restricted Shares”). As noted above, NextNRG completed the acquisition of SEI on January 19, 2024, and thus 50,000,000 will vest on the closing date, and 50,000,000 Restricted Shares will be subject to vesting or forfeiture. 25,000,000 of the 50,000,000 Restricted Shares will vest, if at all, upon the Company commercially deploying the third solar, wireless electric vehicle charging, microgrid, and/or battery storage system (such systems as more specifically defined under the Exchange Agreement) and 25,000,000 of the 50,000,000 Restricted Shares will vest, if at all, upon the Company either reaching annual revenues exceeding $100 million, the Company completing projects with deployment costs greater than $100 million, or the Company completing a capital raise greater than $25 million.

 

The Second Amendment Agreement also provides that prior to the Closing, NextNRG may issue additional shares of NextNRG Stock to one or more additional persons and, in such event, such persons will execute a joinder to the Exchange Agreement and will become a party thereto. In addition, prior to the Closing, subject to the approval of the Shareholders’ Representative, certain shareholders of NextNRG may transfer their shares of NextNRG Stock to persons who are currently shareholders of NextNRG or who would become new shareholders of NextNRG.

 

The Second Amendment Agreement also provides that the Company will undertake such actions as needed to obtain the approval of the stockholders of the Company for the adoption and approval of the Exchange Agreement, as amended, and the transactions contemplated thereby including the issuance of the Company’s common stock thereunder.

 

At closing, the Company has agreed to appoint Mr. Farkas to the board of directors as Executive Chairman and to appoint him Chief Executive Officer of the Company. At closing, the Company has also agreed to appoint Joel Kleiner, the Chief Financial Officer of NextNRG, as the Chief Financial Officer of the Company. The closing of the transactions contemplated under the Exchange Agreement are subject to certain customary closing conditions, including (i) that the Company file a Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to increase its authorized common stock from 50,000,000 shares to 500,000,000 shares (ii) the receipt of the requisite third-party consents, and (iii) compliance with the rules and regulations of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”), which includes the filing of an Initial Listing Application with Nasdaq and approval of such application by Nasdaq. In addition, while the stockholders of the Company have provided written consent approving the Second Amendment Agreement in September 2024 pursuant to Nasdaq Rule 5635, the effectiveness of such written consent is dependent upon the dissemination of a definitive Information Statement on Schedule 14C, which the Company anticipates completing in November 2024. Upon consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement, NextNRG will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

Except as provided above, there were no transactions since the beginning of the Company’s last fiscal year, or any currently proposed transaction, in which the Company was or is to be a participant and the amount involved exceeds $120,000, and in which any related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

(2) The pre-closing percentages in the table have been calculated on the basis of treating as outstanding for a particular person, 6,208,073 shares of our common stock outstanding on November 14, 2024. The post-closing percentages in the table have been calculated on the basis of treating as outstanding for a particular person, all shares of our common stock outstanding on November 14, 2024, plus the assumed (i) sale of 5,000,000 common stock in this Offering and (ii) issuance of 100,000,000 shares of common stock upon the closing of the Exchange Agreement (of which 50,000,000 will vest upon the achievement of future milestones) concurrently with the closing of this offering (an aggregate of 111,208,073 shares).

Common stock warrants and derivative securities held by other stockholders are disregarded in this calculation. Therefore, the denominator used in calculating beneficial ownership among our stockholders may differ. Unless we have indicated otherwise, each person named in the table has sole voting power and sole investment power for the shares listed opposite such person’s name.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

 

The following descriptions are summaries of the material terms of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws. We refer in this section to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation as our certificate of incorporation, and we refer to our amended and restated bylaws as our bylaws.

 

General

 

Our authorized capital stock consists of five hundred million (500,000,000) shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and five million (5,000,000) shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, with 513,000 shares designated as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and 150,000 shares designated as Series B Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding, with the remaining shares of preferred stock being undesignated.

 

As of November 14, 2024, we had 6,208,073 shares of common stock outstanding, 363,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding and 140,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding.

 

Common Stock

 

The holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders. The holders of our common stock do not have any cumulative voting rights. Holders of our common stock are entitled to receive ratably any dividends declared by the board of directors out of funds legally available for that purpose, subject to any preferential dividend rights of any outstanding preferred stock. Our common stock has no preemptive rights, conversion rights or other subscription rights or redemption or sinking fund provisions.

 

In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of our common stock will be entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of all debts and other liabilities and any liquidation preference of any outstanding preferred stock. The shares to be issued by us in this offering will be, when issued and paid for, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

 

Preferred Stock

 

Our board of directors has the authority, without further action by our stockholders, to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions thereof. These rights, preferences and privileges could include dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, liquidation preferences, sinking fund terms and the number of shares constituting, or the designation of, such series, any or all of which may be greater than the rights of common stock. The issuance of our preferred stock could adversely affect the voting power of holders of common stock and the likelihood that such holders will receive dividend payments and payments upon our liquidation. In addition, the issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of our company or other corporate action.

Reverse Stock Split of Common Stock

 

On July 23, 2024, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect a one-for-two and a half (1-for-2.5) reverse split (the “Reverse Split”). The Reverse Split became effective on July 25, 2024. As a result of the Reverse Split, every 2.5 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock automatically converted into one share of common stock, without any change in the par value per share and began trading on a post-split basis under the Company’s existing trading symbol, “EZFL,” when the market opened on July 25, 2024.

 

A total of approximately 1.99 million shares of common stock were issued and outstanding immediately after the Reverse Split. No fractional shares were outstanding following the Reverse Split. Any holder who would have received a fractional share of common stock was automatically entitled to receive an additional fraction of a share of common stock to round up to the next whole share. The new CUSIP number for the common stock following the Reverse Split is 302314406.

 

In addition, effective as of the same time as the Reverse Split, proportionate adjustments were made to all then-outstanding options and warrants with respect to the number of shares of common stock subject to such options or warrants and the exercise price thereof.

 

Appointment of Directors

 

Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that subject to any limitations imposed by applicable law and subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, any vacancies on the Board of Directors resulting from death, resignation, disqualification, removal or other causes and any newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors, shall, unless the Board of Directors determines by resolution that any such vacancies or newly created directorships shall be filled by the stockholders and except as otherwise provided by applicable law, be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, even though less than a quorum of the Board of Directors, and not by the stockholders. Any director elected in accordance with the preceding sentence shall hold office for the remainder of the full term of the director for which the vacancy was created or occurred and until such director’s successor shall have been elected and qualified.

 

Amendments of our Bylaws

 

The Board of Directors is expressly empowered to adopt, amend or repeal our Bylaws. Any adoption, amendment or repeal of our Bylaws will require the approval of a majority of the authorized number of directors. Our stockholders also have power to adopt, amend or repeal the Bylaws of the Company; provided, however, that, in addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of stock of the Company required by law or by our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, such action by stockholders shall require the affirmative vote of the holders of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class.

 

Stock Options

 

We have no options outstanding.

 

Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law

 

We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a three-year period following the time that this stockholder becomes an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. Under Section 203, a business combination between a corporation and an interested stockholder is prohibited unless it satisfies one of the following conditions:

 

  ● before the stockholder became interested, our board of directors approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;
     
  ● upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the voting stock outstanding, shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers, and employee stock plans, in some instances, but not the outstanding voting stock owned by the interested stockholder; or
     
  ● at or after the time the stockholder became interested, the business combination was approved by our board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder.

 

Section 203 defines a business combination to include:

 

  ● any merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the interested stockholder;
     
  ● any sale, transfer, lease, pledge or other disposition involving the interested stockholder of 10% or more of the assets of the corporation;

 

66

 

 

  ● subject to exceptions, any transaction that results in the issuance or transfer by the corporation of any stock of the corporation to the interested stockholder;

 

  ● subject to exceptions, any transaction involving the corporation that has the effect of increasing the proportionate share of the stock of any class or series of the corporation beneficially owned by the interested stockholder; and
     
  ● the receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits provided by or through the corporation.

 

In general, Section 203 defines an interested stockholder as any entity or person beneficially owning 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation and any entity or person affiliated with or controlling or controlled by the entity or person.

 

Transfer Agent and Registrar

 

The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Worldwide Stock Transfer. The transfer agent and registrar’s address is One University Plaza, Suite 505, Hackensack, NJ 07601.

 

Choice of Forum

 

Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company; (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee of the Company to the Company or the Company’s stockholders; (iii) any action asserting a claim against the Company arising pursuant to any provision of the General Corporation Law of Delaware, the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the Company; or (iv) any action asserting a claim against the Company governed by the internal affairs doctrine. To the extent that any such claims may be based upon federal law claims, Section 27 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. Furthermore, Section 22 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, provides for concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder, and as such, the exclusive jurisdiction clauses of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation would not apply to such suits. The choice of forum provisions in our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers or other employees, which may discourage such lawsuits against us and our directors, officers and other employees. By agreeing to these provisions, however, stockholders will not be deemed to have waived our compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. Furthermore, the enforceability of similar choice of forum provisions in other companies’ certificates of incorporation and bylaws has been challenged in legal proceedings, and it is possible that a court could find these types of provisions to be inapplicable or unenforceable. If a court were to find the choice of forum provisions in our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation” to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions.

ThinkEquity LLC is acting as the Representative of the underwriters of the offering. We have entered into an underwriting agreement dated ___, 2024 with the Representative. Subject to the terms and conditions of the underwriting agreement, we have agreed to sell to each underwriter named below, and each underwriter named below has agreed to purchase, at the public offering price less the underwriting discounts set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, at the public offering price, less the underwriting discounts and commissions, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, the number of shares of common stock listed next to its name in the following table:

 

Underwriter   Number of Shares 
ThinkEquity LLC     
      
Total     

 

67

 

 

The underwriters are committed to purchase all the shares of common stock offered by the Company, other than those covered by the over-allotment option to purchase additional shares of common stock described below. The obligations of the underwriters may be terminated upon the occurrence of certain events specified in the underwriting agreement. Furthermore, the underwriting agreement provides that the obligations of the underwriters to pay for and accept delivery of the shares offered by us in this prospectus are subject to various representations and warranties, the concurrent closing of the Share Exchange and other customary conditions specified in the underwriting agreement, such as receipt by the underwriters of officers’ certificates and legal opinions.

 

We have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against specified liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and to contribute to payments the underwriters may be required to make in respect thereof.

 

The underwriters are offering the shares of common stock subject to prior sale, when, as and if issued to and accepted by them, subject to approval of legal matters by their counsel and other conditions specified in the underwriting agreement. The underwriters reserve the right to withdraw, cancel or modify offers to the public and to reject orders in whole or in part.

 

We have granted the Representative an over-allotment option. This option, which is exercisable for up to 45 days after the date of this prospectus, permits the underwriters to purchase up to an aggregate of 748,005 additional shares of common stock (equal to 15% of the total number of shares of common stock sold in this offering) at the public offering price per share, less underwriting discounts and commissions, solely to cover over-allotments, if any. If the Representative exercises this option in whole or in part, then the underwriters will be severally committed, subject to the conditions described in the underwriting agreement, to purchase the additional shares of common stock in proportion to their respective commitments set forth in the prior table.

 

Discounts, Commissions and Reimbursement

 

The Representative has advised us that the underwriters propose to offer the shares of common stock to the public at the public offering price per share set forth on the cover page of this prospectus. The underwriters may offer shares to securities dealers at that price less a concession of not more than $                  per share of which up to $                  per share may be reallowed to other dealers. After the initial offering to the public, the public offering price and other selling terms may be changed by the Representative.

 

The following table summarizes the underwriting discounts and commissions and proceeds, before expenses, to us assuming both no exercise and full exercise by the Representative of its over-allotment option:

 

          Total  
    Per Share     Without Option     With Option  
Public offering price   $             $                $           
Underwriting discounts and commissions (7.0%)   $        $       $      
Non-accountable expense allowance (1%)   $       $          $    
Proceeds, before expenses, to us   $       $       $    

 

We have paid an expense deposit of $25,000 to (or on behalf of) the Representative, which will be applied against the actual out-of-pocket accountable expenses that will be paid by us to the underwriters in connection with this offering and will be reimbursed to us to the extent not incurred.

 

In addition, we have also agreed to pay the following expenses of the underwriters relating to the offering: (a) all fees, expenses and disbursements relating to background checks of our officers and directors in an amount not to exceed $3,000 in the aggregate; (b) $12,500 for the underwriters’ use of Ipreo’s book-building, prospectus tracking and compliance software for this offering; (c) all fees, expenses and disbursements relating to the registration, qualification or exemption of the securities offered under the securities laws of such foreign jurisdictions designated by the Representative; (d) the costs associated with post-closing advertising the offering in the national editions of the Wall Street Journal and New York Times; (e) the fees and expenses of the Representatives’ legal counsel incurred in connection with this offering in an amount up to $125,000; and (f) up to $7,000 of the Representative’s market making and trading, and clearing firm settlement expenses for the offering.

 

68

 

 

We estimate the expenses of this offering payable by us, not including underwriting discounts and commissions, will be approximately $675,000.

 

Representative Warrants

 

Upon the closing of this offering, we have agreed to issue to the Representative or its designees warrants, or the Representative’s Warrants, to purchase a number of shares of common stock equal to 5% of the total number of shares sold in this public offering. The Representative’s Warrants will be exercisable at a per share exercise price equal to 125% of the public offering price per share of common stock sold in this offering. The Representative’s Warrants are exercisable at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part, during the four and one half year period commencing six months from the effective date of the registration statement related to this offering. The Representative’s Warrants also provide for one demand registration right of the shares underlying the Representative’s Warrants, and unlimited “piggyback” registration rights with respect to the registration of the shares of common stock underlying the Representative’s Warrants and customary antidilution provisions. The demand registration right provided will not be greater than five years from the date of the underwriting agreement related to this offering in compliance with FINRA Rule 5110(f)(2)(G). The piggyback registration right provided will not be greater than seven years from the date of the underwriting agreement related to this offering in compliance with FINRA Rule 5110(f)(2)(G).

 

The Representative’s Warrants and the shares of common stock underlying the Representative’s Warrants have been deemed compensation by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, and are therefore subject to a 180-day lock-up pursuant to Rule 5110(g)(1) of FINRA. The representative, or permitted assignees under such rule, may not sell, transfer, assign, pledge, or hypothecate the Representative’s Warrants or the securities underlying the Representative’s Warrants, nor will the representative engage in any hedging, short sale, derivative, put, or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of the Representative’s Warrants or the underlying shares for a period of 180 days from the effective date of the registration statement. Additionally, the Representative’s Warrants may not be sold transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated for a 180-day period following the effective date of the registration statement except to any underwriter and selected dealer participating in the offering and their bona fide officers or partners. The Representative’s Warrants will provide for adjustment in the number and price of the Representative’s Warrants and the shares of common stock underlying such Representative’s Warrants in the event of recapitalization, merger, stock split or other structural transaction.

 

Right of First Refusal

 

For a period of 36 months from the closing of this offering, the Representative shall have an irrevocable right of first refusal to act as sole investment banker, sole book-runner and/or sole placement agent, at the Representative’s sole discretion, for each and every future public and private equity and debt offerings for the Company, or any successor to or any subsidiary of the Company, including all equity linked financings, on terms customary to the Representative. The Representative shall have the sole right to determine whether or not any other broker-dealer shall have the right to participate in any such offering and the economic terms of any such participation. The Representative will not have more than one opportunity to waive or terminate the right of first refusal in consideration of any payment or fee.

 

Lock-Up Agreements

 

The Company, each of our more than 5% shareholders and all of our directors and officers have agreed for a period of six months after the date of this prospectus, with respect to the directors and officers, and three months, with respect to us and such stockholders, without the prior written consent of the Representative, not to directly or indirectly:

 

  ● issue (in the case of us), offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend or otherwise transfer or dispose of any shares of common stock or other capital stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for our common stock or other capital stock, subject to certain exceptions regarding obligations in existence on the date of this prospectus; or
  ● in the case of us, file or cause the filing of any registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to any shares of common stock or other capital stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for our common stock or other capital stock, other than a customary universal “shelf” registration statement, which we shall file within 30 days following the earlier of the expiration of such three month period or the date we become initially eligible to file such registration statement; or
  ● complete any offering of debt securities of the Company, other than entering into a line of credit, term loan arrangement or other debt instrument with a traditional bank; or
  ● enter into any swap or other agreement, arrangement, hedge or transaction that transfers to another, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, any of the economic consequences of ownership of our common stock or other capital stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for our common stock or other capital stock, whether any transaction described in any of the foregoing bullet points is to be settled by delivery of our common stock or other capital stock, other securities, in cash or otherwise, or publicly announce an intention to do any of the foregoing.

 

69

 

 

In addition, for a period of 24 months after the date of the underwriting agreement, the Company will not directly or indirectly enter into an agreement to engage in any “at-the-market”, continuous equity or variable rate transaction without the prior written consent of the Representative.

 

Electronic Offer, Sale and Distribution of Securities

 

A prospectus in electronic format may be made available on the websites maintained by one or more of the underwriters or selling group members. The Representative may agree to allocate a number of securities to underwriters and selling group members for sale to its online brokerage account holders. Internet distributions will be allocated by the underwriters and selling group members that will make internet distributions on the same basis as other allocations. Other than the prospectus in electronic format, the information on these websites is not part of, nor incorporated by reference into, this prospectus or the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, has not been approved or endorsed by us, and should not be relied upon by investors.

 

Stabilization

 

In connection with this offering, the underwriters may engage in stabilizing transactions, over-allotment transactions, syndicate-covering transactions, penalty bids and purchases to cover positions created by short sales.

 

Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase shares so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum and are engaged in for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the shares while the offering is in progress.

 

Over-allotment transactions involve sales by the underwriters of shares in excess of the number of shares the underwriters are obligated to purchase. This creates a syndicate short position which may be either a covered short position or a naked short position. In a covered short position, the number of shares over-allotted by the underwriters is not greater than the number of shares that they may purchase in the over-allotment option. In a naked short position, the number of shares involved is greater than the number of shares in the over-allotment option. The underwriters may close out any short position by exercising their over-allotment option and/or purchasing shares in the open market.

 

Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of shares in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate short positions. In determining the source of shares to close out the short position, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market as compared with the price at which they may purchase shares through exercise of the over-allotment option. If the underwriters sell more shares than could be covered by exercise of the over-allotment option and, therefore, have a naked short position, the position can be closed out only by buying shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that after pricing there could be downward pressure on the price of the shares in the open market that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering.

 

Penalty bids permit the Representative to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when the shares originally sold by that syndicate member are purchased in stabilizing or syndicate covering transactions to cover syndicate short positions.

 

70

 

 

These stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of our shares of common stock or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of our shares of common stock. As a result, the price of our common stock in the open market may be higher than it would otherwise be in the absence of these transactions. Neither we nor the underwriters make any representation or prediction as to the effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of our common stock. These transactions may be effected on The Nasdaq Capital Market, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

 

Other Relationships

 

Certain of the underwriters and their affiliates may in the future provide various investment banking, commercial banking and other financial services for us and our affiliates for which they may in the future receive customary fees.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2024

 

Note 1 - Organization and Nature of Operations

 

Organization and Nature of Operations

 

EzFill Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiary (“EzFill,” “EHI,” “we,” “our” or “the Company”), and its operating subsidiary, was incorporated on March 28, 2019, in the State of Delaware and operates in Florida providing an on-demand mobile gas delivery service. Its wholly owned subsidiary Neighborhood Fuel Holdings, LLC is inactive.

 

NASDAQ – Continued Listing Rule or Standard

 

As previously disclosed, on August 22, 2023, the Company received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Staff (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the Company’s stockholders’ equity did not comply with the minimum $2,500,000 stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing set forth in Listing Rule 5550(b) (the “Equity Rule”). Upon submission of the Company’s plan to regain compliance, the Staff granted the Company an extension until February 20, 2024 to comply with this requirement.

 

On February 21, 2024, the Company received a delist determination letter (the “Delist Letter”) from the Staff advising the Company that the Staff had determined that the Company did not meet the terms of the extension. Specifically, the Company did not complete its proposed transaction to regain compliance with the Equity Rule and evidence compliance on or before February 20, 2024. See Form 8-K filed on February 23, 2024.

 

The Company had requested an appeal for the Staff’s determination. A hearing occurred on May 2, 2024. At the hearing, the Company presented its plan for regaining compliance with the Equity Rule and may request a further extension to complete the execution of its plan.

 

On August 30, 2024, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq confirming that the Company has (i) regained compliance with the Equity Rule, as required by the Panel’s decision dated May 13, 2024, as amended, and (ii) in application of Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(B), the Company will be subject to a mandatory panel monitor for a period of one year from the date of such letter. If, within that one-year monitoring period, the Staff finds that the Company is no longer in compliance with the Equity Rule, then, notwithstanding Listing Rule 5810(c)(2), the Company will not be permitted to provide Staff with a plan of compliance with respect to such deficiency and Staff will not be permitted to grant additional time for the Company to regain compliance with respect to such deficiency, nor will the Company be afforded an applicable cure or compliance period pursuant to Listing Rule 5810(c)(3). Instead, the Staff will issue a Delist Determination Letter, and the Company will have an opportunity to request a new hearing with the initial Panel or a newly convened Hearings Panel if the initial Panel is unavailable. The Company will have the opportunity to respond/ present to the Hearings Panel as provided by Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(C) and the Company’s securities may at that time be delisted from Nasdaq.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial statements (“U.S. GAAP”) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not contain all information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements.

 

In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all of the adjustments necessary (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) to present the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2024 and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future period.

 

These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC on April 1, 2024.

 

Management acknowledges its responsibility for the preparation of the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements which reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary in its opinion for a fair statement of its consolidated financial position and the consolidated results of its operations for the periods presented.

 

Liquidity and Going Concern

 

As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company had:

 

●Net loss available to common stockholders of $13,424,197; and
● Net cash used in operations was $3,448,667

 

Additionally, at September 30, 2024, the Company had:

 

● Accumulated deficit of $58,741,247
● Stockholders’ equity of $3,558,365; and
● Working capital deficit of $1,302,925

 

The Company anticipates that it will need to raise additional capital immediately in order to continue to fund its operations. The Company has relied on related parties for the debt based funding of its operations. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain funds on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. There is also no assurance that the amount of funds the Company might raise will enable the Company to complete its initiatives or attain profitable operations.

EZFILL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2024

 

The Company’s operating needs include the planned costs to operate its business, including amounts required to fund working capital and capital expenditures. The Company’s future capital requirements and the adequacy of its available funds will depend on many factors, including the Company’s ability to successfully expand to new markets, competition, and the need to enter into collaborations with other companies or acquire other companies to enhance or complement its product and service offerings.

 

There can be no assurances that financing will be available on terms which are favorable, or at all. If the Company is unable to raise additional funding to meet its working capital needs in the future, it will be forced to delay, reduce, or cease its operations.

 

We manage liquidity risk by reviewing, on an ongoing basis, our sources of liquidity and capital requirements. The Company had cash on hand of $828,185 at September 30, 2024.

 

The Company has historically incurred significant losses since inception and has not demonstrated an ability to generate sufficient revenues from the sales of its products and services to achieve profitable operations. In making this assessment we performed a comprehensive analysis of our current circumstances including: our financial position, our cash flows and cash usage forecasts for the twelve months ended September 30, 2025, and our current capital structure including equity-based instruments and our obligations and debts.

 

These factors create substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within the twelve-month period subsequent to the date that these financial statements are issued.

 

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a basis that assumes the Company will continue as a going concern and which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business.

 

Management’s strategic plans include the following:

 

● Expand into new and existing markets (commercial and residential);
● Obtain additional debt and/or equity based financing;
● Collaborations with other operating businesses for strategic opportunities; and
● Acquire other businesses to enhance or complement our current business model while accelerating our growth.

 

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

 

Business Combinations and Asset Acquisitions

 

The Company accounts for acquisitions that qualify as business combinations by applying the acquisition method according to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”).

 

Transaction costs related to the acquisition of a business are expensed as incurred and excluded from the fair value of consideration transferred.

 

The identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and noncontrolling interests in an acquired entity are recognized and measured at their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of consideration transferred over the fair values of identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and noncontrolling interests in an acquired entity, net of the fair value of any previously held interest in the acquired entity, is recorded as goodwill. Such valuations require management to make significant estimates and assumptions.

 

Purchase price allocations may be preliminary, and, during the measurement period not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition, changes in assumptions and estimates that result in adjustments to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded in the period the adjustments are determined.

 

Significant judgments are used in determining fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as intangibles. Fair value and useful life determinations are based on, among other factors, estimates of future expected cash flows, and appropriate discount rates used in computing present values. These judgments may materially impact the estimates used in allocating acquisition date fair values to assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as the Company’s current and future operating results. Actual results may vary from these estimates which may result in adjustments to goodwill and acquisition date fair values of assets and liabilities during a measurement period or upon a final determination of asset and liability fair values, whichever occurs first. Adjustments to fair values of assets and liabilities made after the end of the measurement period are recorded within the Company’s earnings.

EZFILL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2024

 

The Company evaluates acquisitions of assets and other similar transactions to assess whether the transaction should be accounted for as a business combination or asset acquisition by first applying a screen test to determine whether substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets. If so, the transaction is accounted for as an asset acquisition. If not, further determination is required as to whether the Company has acquired inputs and processes that can create outputs that would meet the definition of a business. When applying the screen test, significant judgment is required to determine whether an acquisition is a business combination or an acquisition of assets.

 

Accounting for asset acquisitions falls under the guidance of Topic 805, Business Combinations, specifically Subtopic 805-50. A cost accumulation model is used to determine an asset acquisition’s cost. Assets acquired are based on their cost, generally allocated to them on a relative fair value basis. Direct acquisition-related costs are included in the cost of the acquired assets.

 

The distinction between business combinations and asset acquisitions involves judgment, particularly when applying the screen test to determine the nature of the transaction. Incorrect judgments or changes in decisions in these areas could materially affect the determination of goodwill, the recognition and measurement of acquired assets and assumed liabilities, and, consequently, our financial position and results of operations.

 

Business Segments and Concentrations

 

The Company uses the “management approach” to identify its reportable segments. The management approach requires companies to report segment financial information consistent with information used by management for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the basis for identifying the Company’s reportable segments. The Company manages its business as one reportable segment.

 

Customers in the United States accounted for 100% of our revenues. We do not have any property or equipment outside of the United States.

 

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

 

Preparing financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and those estimates may be material.

 

Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and other assumptions, which include both quantitative and qualitative assessments that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances.

 

Significant estimates during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, include, allowance for doubtful accounts and other receivables, inventory reserves and classifications, valuation of loss contingencies, valuation of stock-based compensation, estimated useful lives related to property and equipment, impairment of intangible assets, implicit interest rate in right-of-use operating leases, uncertain tax positions, and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Company operates in an industry that is subject to intense competition and changes in consumer demand. The Company’s operations are subject to significant risk and uncertainties including financial and operational risks including the potential risk of business failure.

 

The Company has experienced, and in the future may experience, variability in sales and earnings. The factors expected to contribute to this variability include, among others, (i) the cyclical nature of the industry, (ii) general economic conditions in the various local markets in which the Company competes, including a potential general downturn in the economy, and (iii) the volatility of prices in connection with the Company’s distribution of the product. These factors, among others, make it difficult to project the Company’s operating results on a consistent basis.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company accounts for financial instruments under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements. ASC 820 provides a framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosures regarding fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, based on the Company’s principal or, in absence of a principal, most advantageous market for the specific asset or liability.

 

The Company uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy to classify and disclose all assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as well as assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, in periods subsequent to their initial measurement. The hierarchy requires the Company to use observable inputs when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs, when determining fair value.

 

F-9
 

 

EZFILL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2024

 

The three tiers are defined as follows:

 

●Level 1 – Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;
●Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly in the marketplace for identical or similar assets and liabilities; and
●Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market data, which require the Company to develop its own assumptions.

 

The determination of fair value and the assessment of a measurement’s placement within the hierarchy requires judgment. Level 3 valuations often involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity. Level 3 valuations may require the use of various cost, market, or income valuation methodologies applied to unobservable management estimates and assumptions. Management’s assumptions could vary depending on the asset or liability valued and the valuation method used. Such assumptions could include estimates of prices, earnings, costs, actions of market participants, market factors, or the weighting of various valuation methods.

 

The Company may also engage external advisors to assist us in determining fair value, as appropriate. Although the Company believes that the recorded fair value of our financial instruments is appropriate, these fair values may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values.

 

The Company’s financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and accounts payable and accrued expenses – related party, are carried at historical cost. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, the carrying amounts of these instruments approximated their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

 

ASC 825-10 “Financial Instruments” allows entities to voluntarily choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value (“fair value option”). The fair value option may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable unless a new election date occurs. If the fair value option is elected for an instrument, unrealized gains and losses for that instrument should be reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The Company did not elect to apply the fair value option to any outstanding financial instruments.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Concentration of Credit Risk

 

For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the purchase date and money market accounts to be cash equivalents.

 

At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, the Company did not have any cash equivalents.

 

The Company is exposed to credit risk on its cash and cash equivalents in the event of default by the financial institutions to the extent account balances exceed the amount insured by the FDIC, which is $250,000.

 

At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, the Company did not experience any losses on cash balances in excess of FDIC insured limits.

 

Investments

 

Available-for-sale debt securities are recorded at fair value with the net unrealized gains and losses (that are deemed to be temporary) reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss).

 

Realized gains and losses and charges for other-than-temporary impairments are included in determining net income, with related purchase costs based on the first-in, first-out method.

 

Premiums or discounts on debt are amortized straight line over the term.

 

The Company evaluates its available-for-sale-investments for possible other-than-temporary impairments by reviewing factors such as the extent to which, and length of time, an investment’s fair value has been below the Company’s cost basis, the issuer’s financial condition, and the Company’s ability and intent to hold the investment for sufficient time for its market value to recover. For impairments that are other-than-temporary, an impairment loss is recognized in earnings equal to the difference between the investment’s cost and its fair value at the balance sheet date of the reporting period for which the assessment is made. The fair value of the investment then becomes the new amortized cost basis of the investment, and it is not adjusted for subsequent recoveries in fair value.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company received proceeds of $0 and $2,130,116, respectively, in connection with the sale and liquidation of its investment portfolio.

 

Realized losses, including amortization of bond premiums on these debt securities were $0 and $34,556 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding customer balances. Credit is extended to customers based on an evaluation of their financial condition and other factors. Interest is not accrued on overdue accounts receivable. The Company does not require collateral.

 

Management periodically assesses the Company’s accounts receivable and, if necessary, establishes an allowance for estimated uncollectible amounts. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon a review of the outstanding accounts receivable, historical collection information and existing economic conditions. Accounts determined to be uncollectible are charged to operations when that determination is made.

 

The following is a summary of the Company’s accounts receivable at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

  

   September 30, 2024   December 31, 2023 
         
Accounts receivable  $1,636,306   $1,274,112 
Less: allowance for doubtful accounts   81,772    81,772 
Accounts receivable - net  $1,554,534   $1,192,340 

 

There was bad debt expense of $7,799 and $1,086 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

There was bad debt expense of $41,836 and $83,564 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Bad debt expense (recovery) is recorded as a component of general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory consists solely of fuel. Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method of inventory valuation. Management assesses the recoverability of its inventory and establishes reserves on a quarterly basis.

 

There were no provisions for inventory obsolescence for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had inventory of $102,685 and $134,057, respectively.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets including Internal Use Capitalized Software Costs

 

Management evaluates the recoverability of the Company’s identifiable intangible assets and other long-lived assets when events or circumstances indicate a potential impairment exists, in accordance with the provisions of ASC 360-10-35-15 “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” Events and circumstances considered by the Company in determining whether the carrying value of identifiable intangible assets and other long-lived assets may not be recoverable, but are not limited to significant changes in performance relative to expected operating results; significant changes in the use of the assets; significant negative industry or economic trends; and changes in the Company’s business strategy. In determining if impairment exists, the Company estimates the undiscounted cash flows to be generated from the use and ultimate disposition of these assets.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2024

 

If impairment is indicated based on a comparison of the assets’ carrying values and the undiscounted cash flows, the impairment to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.

 

There were no impairment losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

See note 3 for discussion of impairments of long lived assets.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

 

Expenditures for repair and maintenance which do not materially extend the useful lives of property and equipment are charged to operations. When property or equipment is sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts with the resulting gain or loss reflected in operations.

 

Management reviews the carrying value of its property and equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable.

 

See note 3 for discussion of impairments of long lived assets.

 

Derivative Liabilities

 

The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under FASB ASC Topic No. 480, (“ASC 480”), “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” and FASB ASC Topic No. 815, (“ASC 815”) “Derivatives and Hedging”. Derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each reporting period, with any increase or decrease in the fair value recorded in the results of operations (other income/expense) as a gain or loss on the change in fair value of derivative liabilities. The Company uses a binomial pricing model to determine fair value of these instruments.

 

Upon conversion or repayment of a debt instrument in exchange for shares of common stock, where the embedded conversion option has been bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative liability (generally convertible debt and warrants), the Company records the shares of common stock at fair value, relieves all related debt, derivative liabilities, and any remaining unamortized debt discounts, and where appropriate recognizes a net gain or loss on debt extinguishment (debt based derivative liabilities). In connection with any extinguishments of equity based derivative liabilities (typically warrants), the Company records an increase to additional paid-in capital for any remaining liability balance extinguished.

 

Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification under ASC Topic 815 are reclassified to liabilities at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date.

 

At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, the Company had no derivative liabilities.

 

Original Issue Discounts and Other Debt Discounts

 

For certain notes issued, the Company may provide the debt holder with an original issue discount. The original issue discount is recorded as a debt discount, reducing the face amount of the note, and is amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Additionally, the Company may issue common stock with certain notes issued, which are recorded at fair value. These discounts are also recorded as a component of debt discount, reducing the face amount of the note, and is amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The combined debt discounts cannot exceed the face amount of the debt issued.

 

Debt Issue Cost

 

Debt issuance cost paid to lenders, or third parties are recorded as debt discounts and amortized to interest expense over the life of the underlying debt instrument, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Right of Use Assets and Lease Obligations

 

The Right of Use Asset and Lease Liability reflect the present value of the Company’s estimated future minimum lease payments over the lease term, which may include options that are reasonably assured of being exercised, discounted using a collateralized incremental borrowing rate.

 

Typically, renewal options are considered reasonably assured of being exercised if the associated asset lives of the building or leasehold improvements exceed that of the initial lease term, and the performance of the business remains strong. Therefore, the Right of Use Asset and Lease Liability may include an assumption on renewal options that have not yet been exercised by the Company. The Company’s operating leases contained renewal options that expire at various dates with no residual value guarantees. Future obligations relating to the exercise of renewal options is included in the measurement if, based on the judgment of management, the renewal option is reasonably certain to be exercised. Factors in determining whether an option is reasonably certain of exercise include, but are not limited to, the value of leasehold improvements, the value of the renewal rate compared to market rates, and the presence of factors that would cause a significant economic penalty to the Company if the option is not exercised. Management reasonably plans to exercise all options, and as such, all renewal options are included in the measurement of the right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities.

As the rate implicit in leases are not readily determinable, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate to calculate the lease liability that represents an estimate of the interest rate the Company would incur to borrow on a collateralized basis over the term of a lease within a particular currency environment. See Note 7 for third party and related party operating leases.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company generates its revenue from mobile fuel sales, either as a one-time purchase, or through a monthly membership. Revenue is recognized at the time of delivery and includes a delivery fee for each delivery or a subscription fee on a monthly basis for memberships.

 

Under Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09 (Topic 606) “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, revenue from contracts with customers is measured based on the consideration specified in the contract with the customer, and excludes any sales incentives, discounts, rebates, and amounts collected on behalf of third parties.

 

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to a customer and is the unit of account under Topic 606. The Company’s contracts with its customers do not include multiple performance obligations. The Company recognizes revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for such products or services.

 

The following represents the analysis management has considered in determining its revenue recognition policy:

 

Identify the contract with a customer

 

A contract with a customer exists when (i) the Company enters into an enforceable contract with a customer that defines each party’s rights regarding the services to be transferred and identifies the payment terms related to these services, (ii) the contract has commercial substance and, (iii) the Company determines that collection of substantially all consideration for services that are transferred is probable based on the customer’s intent and ability to pay the promised consideration. The Company applies judgment in determining the customer’s ability and intention to pay, which is based on a variety of factors including the customer’s historical payment experience or, in the case of a new customer, published credit and financial information pertaining to the customer.

 

Identify the performance obligations in the contract

 

Performance obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the services that will be transferred to the customer that are both capable of being distinct, whereby the customer can benefit from the service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available from third parties or from the Company, and are distinct in the context of the contract, whereby the transfer of the services is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. To the extent a contract includes multiple promised services, the Company must apply judgment to determine whether promised services are capable of being distinct and distinct in the context of the contract. If these criteria are not met the promised services are accounted for as a combined performance obligation.

 

Determine the transaction price

 

The transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which the Company will be entitled in exchange for transferring services to the customer. To the extent the transaction price includes variable consideration, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration that should be included in the transaction price utilizing either the expected value method or the most likely amount method depending on the nature of the variable consideration. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price if, in the Company’s judgment, it is probable that a significant future reversal of cumulative revenue under the contract will not occur. None of the Company’s contracts contain a significant financing component.

 

Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract

 

If the contract contains a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation. However, if a series of distinct services that are substantially the same qualifies as a single performance obligation in a contract with variable consideration, the Company must determine if the variable consideration is attributable to the entire contract or to a specific part of the contract. For example, a bonus or penalty may be associated with one or more, but not all, distinct services promised in a series of distinct services that forms part of a single performance obligation. Contracts that contain multiple performance obligations require an allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation based on a relative standalone selling price basis unless the transaction price is variable and meets the criteria to be allocated entirely to a performance obligation or to a distinct service that forms part of a single performance obligation. The Company determines standalone selling price based on the price at which the performance obligation is sold separately.

 

If the standalone selling price is not observable through past transactions, the Company estimates the standalone selling price taking into account available information such as market conditions and internally approved pricing guidelines related to the performance obligations.

 

F-13
 

 

EZFILL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2024

 

The Company’s contracts have a distinct single performance obligation and there are no contracts with variable consideration.

 

Recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation

 

Revenue is recognized at the time the related performance obligation is satisfied by transferring a promised service to a customer.

 

The following reflects additional discussion regarding our revenue recognition policies for each of our material revenue streams. For each revenue stream we do not offer any returns, refunds or warranties, and no arrangements are cancellable. Additionally, all contract consideration is fixed and determinable at the initiation of the contract.

 

Currently, the Company only has two separate and distinct single performance obligations in its contractual arrangements.

 

First, the Company generally recognizes membership revenues at the end of each month after services have been rendered. There are no prepaid membership revenues.

 

Second, the Company recognizes fuel sales each month after delivery has occurred.

 

Contract Liabilities (Deferred Revenue)

 

Contract liabilities represent deposits made by customers before the satisfaction of performance obligation and recognition of revenue. Upon completion of the performance obligation(s) that the Company has with the customer based on the terms of the contract, the liability for the customer deposit is relieved and revenue is recognized.

 

At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had deferred revenue of $0, respectively.

 

The following represents the Company’s disaggregation of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023:

  

   Nine Months Ended September 30, 
   2024   2023 
    Revenue     % of Revenues    Revenue     % of Revenues 
                     
Fuel sales  $20,249,067    96.53%  $17,129,808    97.74%
Other   728,793    3.47%   395,869    2.26%
Total Sales  $20,977,860    100.00%  $17,525,677    100.00%

 

Cost of Sales

 

Cost of sales primarily include fuel costs and wages/benefits paid to our drivers.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income tax using the asset and liability method prescribed by ASC 740, “Income Taxes”. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect in the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to offset deferred tax assets if based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or loss in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

The Company follows the accounting guidance for uncertainty in income taxes using the provisions of ASC 740 “Income Taxes”. Using that guidance, tax positions initially need to be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities.

 

At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, the Company had no uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

 

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain income tax positions in other expense. No interest and penalties related to uncertain income tax positions were recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Valuation of Deferred Tax Assets

 

The Company’s deferred income tax assets include certain future tax benefits. The Company records a valuation allowance against any portion of those deferred income tax assets when it believes, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax asset will not be realized.

 

The Company reviews the likelihood that it will realize the benefit of its deferred tax assets and therefore the need for valuation allowances on a quarterly basis, or more frequently if events indicate that a review is required. In determining the requirement for a valuation allowance, the historical and projected financial results of the legal entity or consolidated group recording the net deferred tax asset is considered, along with all other available positive and negative evidence.

 

F-14
 

 

EZFILL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2024

 

Certain categories of evidence carry more weight in the analysis than others based upon the extent to which the evidence may be objectively verified. The Company looks to the nature and severity of cumulative pretax losses (if any) in the current three-year period ending on the evaluation date, recent pretax losses and/or expectations of future pretax losses.

 

Other factors considered in the determination of the probability of the realization of the deferred tax assets include, but are not limited to:

 

●Earnings history;
●Projected future financial and taxable income based upon existing reserves and long-term estimates of commodity prices;
●The duration of statutory carry forward periods;
●Prudent and feasible tax planning strategies readily available that may alter the timing of reversal of the temporary difference;
●Nature of temporary differences and predictability of reversal patterns of existing temporary differences; and
●The sensitivity of future forecasted results to commodity prices and other factors.

 

Concluding that a valuation allowance is not required is difficult when there is significant negative evidence which is objective and verifiable, such as cumulative losses in recent years. The Company utilizes a rolling twelve quarters of pre-tax income or loss as a measure of its cumulative results in recent years. However, a cumulative three year loss is not solely determinative of the need for a valuation allowance. The Company also considers all other available positive and negative evidence in its analysis.

 

At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets resulting in a net carrying amount of $0.

 

Advertising Costs

 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs are included as a component of general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

The Company recognized $54,099 and $29,724 in marketing and advertising costs during the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

The Company recognized $112,266 and $110,102 in marketing and advertising costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for our stock-based compensation under ASC 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation” using the fair value-based method. Under this method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. This guidance establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments.

 

The Company uses the fair value method for equity instruments granted to non-employees and uses the Black-Scholes model for measuring the fair value of options.

 

The fair value of stock-based compensation is determined as of the date of the grant or the date at which the performance of the services is completed (measurement date) and is recognized over the vesting periods.

 

When determining fair value of stock options, the Company considers the following assumptions in the Black-Scholes model:

 

● Exercise price,
● Expected dividends,
● Expected volatility,
● Risk-free interest rate; and
● Expected life of option

 

Stock Warrants

 

In connection with certain financing (debt or equity), consulting and collaboration arrangements, the Company may issue warrants to purchase shares of its common stock. The outstanding warrants are standalone instruments that are not puttable or mandatorily redeemable by the holder and are classified as equity awards. The Company measures the fair value of warrants issued for compensation using the Black-Scholes option pricing model as of the measurement date. However, for warrants issued that meet the definition of a derivative liability, fair value is determined based upon the use of a binomial pricing model.

 

Warrants issued in conjunction with the issuance of common stock are initially recorded at fair value as a reduction in additional paid-in capital of the common stock issued. All other warrants (for services) are recorded at fair value and expensed over the requisite service period or at the date of issuance if there is not a service period.

Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) per Share and Reverse Stock Split

 

Basic earnings per share is calculated using the two-class method and is computed by dividing net earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and certain other shares committed to be, but not yet issued. Net earnings available to common shareholders represent net earnings to common shareholders reduced by the allocation of earnings to participating securities. Losses are not allocated to participating securities. Common shares outstanding and certain other shares committed to be, but not yet issued, include restricted stock and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) for which no future service is required.

 

Diluted earnings per share is calculated under both the two-class and treasury stock methods, and the more dilutive amount is reported. Diluted earnings per share is computed by taking the sum of net earnings available to common shareholders, dividends on preferred shares and dividends on dilutive mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred shares, divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and certain other shares committed to be, but not yet issued, plus all dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during the period (stock options, warrants, convertible preferred stock, and convertible debt).

 

Preferred shares and unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and, therefore, are included in the earnings allocation in computing earnings per share under the two-class method of earnings per share.

 

Unvested shares of common stock are excluded from the denominator in computing net loss per share.

 

Restricted stock and RSUs granted as part of share-based compensation contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends and dividend equivalents, respectively, and therefore, prior to the requisite service being rendered for the right to retain the award, restricted stock and RSUs meet the definition of a participating security. RSUs granted under an executive compensation plan are not considered participating securities as the rights to dividend equivalents are forfeitable.

 

The following potentially dilutive equity securities outstanding as of September 30, 2024 and 2023 were as follows:

 

   September 30, 2024   September 30, 2023 
Series A, preferred stock   1,644,022    - 
Series B, preferred stock    724,638     - 
Series A, preferred stock - dividends   164,402    - 
Series B, preferred stock - dividends   72,464    - 
Warrants (vested)   52,297    81,452 
Total common stock equivalents    2,657,822     81,452 

 

Series A and B, preferred shares as well as the related dividends on each class are convertible into common stock. See Note 8.

 

Warrants included as common stock equivalents represent those that are fully vested and exercisable. See Note 9.

 

Based on the potential common stock equivalents noted above at September 30, 2024, the Company has sufficient authorized shares of common stock (500,000,000) to settle any potential exercises of common stock equivalents.

 

On April 27, 2023, the Company executed a 1:8 reverse stock split and decreased the number of shares of its authorized common stock from 500,000,000 shares to 50,000,000 and its preferred stock from 50,000,000 to 5,000,000. As a result, all share and per share amounts have been retroactively restated to the earliest period presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

 

On July 25, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a 1:2.5 reverse stock split. As a result, all share and per share amounts have been retroactively restated to the earliest period presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Parties are considered to be related to the Company if the parties, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, control, are controlled by, or are under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal with if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.

Due From Related Party

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company advanced $17,150 to an entity controlled by Michael Farkas (a former material debt lender), and greater than 20% stockholder in the Company. The advance related to fees incurred by that entity for professional services.

 

Recent Accounting Standards

 

Changes to accounting principles are established by the FASB in the form of Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU’s”) to the FASB’s Codification. We consider the applicability and impact of all ASU’s on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, stockholders’ equity, cash flows, or presentation thereof. Management has evaluated all recent accounting pronouncements issued through the date these financial statements were available to be issued and found no recent accounting pronouncements issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, when adopted, will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

 

In March 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures (“ASU 2022-02”), which eliminates the accounting guidance on troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) for creditors in ASC 310, Receivables (Topic 310), and requires entities to provide disclosures about current period gross write-offs by year of origination. Also, ASU 2022-02 updates the requirements related to accounting for credit losses under ASC 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), and adds enhanced disclosures for creditors with respect to loan refinancings and restructurings for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty.

 

This guidance was adopted on January 1, 2023. The adoption of ASU 2022-02 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07 - Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This ASU improves reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact this will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 includes amendments that further enhance income tax disclosures, primarily through standardization and disaggregation of rate reconciliation categories and income taxes paid by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, on either a prospective or retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-09 on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

There are various other updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to a have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no material effect on the consolidated results of operations, stockholders’ equity, or cash flows.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2024

 

A See discussion below regarding global amendment for Notes #1, #2 and #3.
B See discussion below regarding the limitation on the issuance of this lender due to a 9.99% equity ownership blocker.
CThese shares of common stock (425,978) were issued with the underlying original issue discount notes and treated as additional debt discount.

 

Year Ended December 31, 2023

 

Note #1 – Note Payable – Related Party - Material Stockholder greater than 5% and related Loss on Debt Extinguishment

 

During 2023, the Company originally executed a six-month (6) note payable with a face amount of $1,500,000, less an original issue discount of $150,000, along with an additional $140,000 in transaction related fees (total debt discount and issue costs of $290,000), resulting in net proceeds of $1,210,000. The $290,000 in debt discounts and issuance costs are being amortized over the life of the note to interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

 

In connection with obtaining this debt, the Company also committed 100,000 shares of common stock to the lender as additional interest expense (commitment fee). Under the terms of the agreement, only 40,000 shares of common stock were required to be issued on the commitment date resulting in a fair value of $256,000 ($6.40/share), based upon the quoted closing price. The Company recorded this amount as a debt discount which was being amortized over the life of the note. Total debt discounts recorded aggregated $546,000.

 

See Note 8.

 

In October 2023 (the initial maturity date), the Company executed a loan extension with the lender to extend the due date from October 2023 to April 2024. At this time, the remaining 60,000 shares were issued to the lender.

 

The Company evaluated the modification of terms under ASC 470-50, “Debt - Modification and Extinguishment”, and concluded that the extension of the maturity date resulted in significant and consequential changes to the economic substance of the debt and thus resulted in an extinguishment of the debt.

 

Specifically, on the date of modification, the Company determined that the present value of the cash flows of the modified debt instrument was greater than 10% different from the present value of the remaining cash flows under the original debt instrument.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded a loss on debt extinguishment of $291,000 as follows:

 

      
Fair value of debt and common stock on extinguishment date*  $1,791,000 
Fair value of debt subject to modification   1,500,000 
Loss on debt extinguishment - related party  $291,000 

 

*The Company valued the issuance of the 60,000 commitment shares at $291,000, based upon the quoted closing trading price on the date of modification ($4.85/share).

 

Pursuant to the January 17, 2024 global amendment, effective for all previously issued notes with this lender, in the event of default, the lender may convert the note into shares of common stock equal to the greater of $3.08 and the lower of the average VWAP over the ten (10) preceding trading days; or the greater of the average of the VWAP over the ten (10) preceding trading days or a floor price of $1.75. Additionally, if the Company raises $10,000,000 or more, then Note #3 will be repaid. If the Company raises $15,000,000 or more, then both Notes #2 and #3 will be repaid.

 

The Company has determined that in the event of default, the note at that time may be treated as a derivative liability subject to financial reporting at fair value and related mark to market adjustments in subsequent reporting periods.

 

This note is subject to cross-default. In the event this note or any other notes issued by this lender are in default (Notes #1, #2 and #3), all of the notes with this lender will be considered in default.

 

See May 9, 2024 loan date extension below.

 

This lender is considered a related party since it has a greater than 5% controlling interest in the Company’s outstanding common stock.

 

See discussion regarding debt conversion below on August 16, 2024.

 

Note #2 – Note Payable – Related Party - Material Stockholder greater than 5%

 

During 2023, the Company executed a six-month (6) note payable with a face amount of $600,000, less an original issue discount of $60,000, along with an additional $28,900 in transaction related fees (total debt discount and issue costs in cash of $88,900), resulting in net proceeds of $511,100.

 

In connection with obtaining this note, the Company also issued 60,000 shares of common stock to the lender having a fair value of $406,500, based upon the quoted closing trading price ($6.78/share).

The issuance of these shares resulted in an additional debt issue cost. In total, the Company recorded debt discounts/issuance costs of $495,400 which is being amortized over the life of the note to interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

 

See Note 8.

 

While the note was initially due in March 2024, the Company had the right to extend the note by an additional six-months (6) to September 2024. The note was not formally extended on its maturity date, however, the lender has not given notice on default.

 

Pursuant to the January 17, 2024 global amendment, effective for all previously issued notes with this lender, in the event of default, the lender may convert the note into shares of common stock equal to the greater of $3.08 and the lower of the average VWAP over the ten (10) preceding trading days; or the greater of the average of the VWAP over the ten (10) preceding trading days or a floor price of $1.75. Additionally, if the Company raises $10,000,000 or more, then Note #3 will be repaid. If the Company raises $15,000,000 or more, then both Notes #2 and #3 will be repaid.

 

The Company has determined that in the event of default, the note at that time may be treated as a derivative liability subject to financial reporting at fair value and related mark to market adjustments in subsequent reporting periods.

 

This note is subject to cross-default. In the event this note or any other notes issued by this lender are in default (Notes #1, #2 and #3), all of the notes with this lender will be considered in default.

See discussion regarding debt conversion below on August 16, 2024.

 

Note #3 – Note Payable – Related Party - Material Stockholder greater than 5%

 

In October 2023, the Company executed a three-month (3) note payable with a face amount of $320,000, less an original issue discount of $48,000, resulting in net proceeds of $272,000.

 

In connection with obtaining this note, the Company was required to issue 104,000 shares of common stock to the lender having a fair value of $539,760, based upon the quoted closing trading price ($5.19/share). However, the issuance of these shares would result in the lender having a greater than 9.99% ownership of the Company, which is prohibited by agreement. These shares are classified as common stock issuable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

 

The future issuance of these shares resulted in an additional debt issue cost. In total, the Company recorded debt discounts/issuance costs of $320,000 which is being amortized over the life of the note to interest expense. The aggregate discounts calculated above exceeded the face amount of the note and therefore were limited to the face amount of the note totaling $320,000.

 

Pursuant to the January 17, 2024 global amendment, effective for all previously issued notes with this lender, in the event of default, the lender may convert the note into shares of common stock equal to the greater of $3.08 and the lower of the average VWAP over the ten (10) preceding trading days; or the greater of the average of the VWAP over the ten (10) preceding trading days or a floor price of $1.75. Additionally, if the Company raises $10,000,000 or more, then Note #3 will be repaid. If the Company raises $15,000,000 or more, then both Notes #2 and #3 will be repaid.

Common Stock Issuable – Notes #1, #2 and #3

 

In connection with the conversion of these notes on August 16, 2024, 242,000 shares of common stock previously issuable were issued. The net effect on stockholders equity was $0.

 

Notes #4 - #39 - Notes Payable – Related Party - Material Stockholder greater than 20%

 

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024

 

The Company executed several two-month (2) notes payable with an aggregate face amount of $3,630,000, less original issue discounts of $330,000, resulting in net proceeds of $3,300,000.

 

In connection with obtaining these notes, the Company was required to issue 425,978 shares of common stock to the lender having a fair value of $2,020,387, based upon the quoted closing trading price ($2.81 - $7.10/share).

 

In total, the Company recorded debt discounts/issuance costs totaling $2,350,387, which amortized over the life of these notes to interest expense.

 

These notes are initially due two-months (2) from their issuance dates. If the notes reach maturity and are still outstanding, the notes and related accrued interest will automatically renew for successive two-month (2) periods.

 

These notes bear interest at 8% for the 1st nine-months (9), then 18% each month thereafter.

 

The lender is required to issue in writing any event of default. If an event of default occurs, all outstanding principal and accrued interest will be multiplied by 150% and become immediately due. Additionally, if the Company raises $3,000,000 (debt or equity based), the entire outstanding principal and accrued interest are immediately due.

 

Finally, in an event of default, the lender has the right to convert any or all of the outstanding principal and accrued interest into common stock equal to the greater of the average VWAP closing price over the ten (10) trading days ending on the date of conversion or $1.75 (the floor price). In the event such a conversion were to occur, which can only happen by default, the Company would evaluate the potential for recording derivative liabilities.

 

This lender is considered a related party as it is controlled by Michael Farkas, who is a greater than 20% stockholder in the Company.

As a result of the debt conversion, the balance due to this lender was $0. The fair value of the common stock at the conversion date was $2.76/share. Accordingly, there was no gain or loss on debt extinguishment.

 

See Note 8 regarding features of this class of securities.

 

Additionally, in connection with this debt conversion, all remaining unamortized debt discount was recorded as interest expense.

 

Year Ended December 31, 2023

 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company executed several two-month (2) notes payable with an aggregate face amount of $2,585,000, less original issue discounts of $235,000, resulting in net proceeds of $2,350,000.

 

These notes are initially due two-months (2) from their issuance dates. If the notes reach maturity and are still outstanding, the notes and related accrued interest will automatically renew for successive two-month (2) periods.

 

These notes bear interest at 8% for the 1st nine-months (9), then 18% each month thereafter.

 

The lender is required to issue in writing any event of default. If an event of default occurs, all outstanding principal and accrued interest will be multiplied by 150% and become immediately due. Additionally, if the Company raises $3,000,000 (debt or equity based), the entire outstanding principal and accrued interest are immediately due.

 

Finally, in an event of default, the lender has the right to convert any or all of the outstanding principal and accrued interest into common stock equal to the greater of the average VWAP closing price over the ten (10) trading days ending on the date of conversion or $1.75 (the floor price). In the event such a conversion were to occur, which can only happen by default, the Company would evaluate the potential for recording derivative liabilities.

 

At December 31, 2023, the Company was not in default on any of these notes and believed it was in compliance with all terms and conditions of the notes.

 

This lender is considered a related party as it is controlled by Michael Farkas, who is a greater than 20% stockholder in the Company.

Note 6 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company evaluates its financial assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements on a recurring basis to determine the appropriate level in which to classify them for each reporting period. This determination requires significant judgments to be made.

 

The Company did not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

 

Note 7 – Commitments and Contingencies

 

Operating Leases

 

We have entered into various operating lease agreements, including our corporate headquarters. We account for leases in accordance with ASC Topic 842: Leases, which requires a lessee to utilize the right-of-use model and to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases are classified as either financing or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the statement of operations. In addition, a lessor is required to classify leases as either sales-type, financing or operating. A lease will be treated as a sale if it transfers all of the risks and rewards, as well as control of the underlying asset, to the lessee. If risks and rewards are conveyed without the transfer of control, the lease is treated as financing. If the lessor does not convey risk and rewards or control, the lease is treated as operating. We determine if an arrangement is a lease, or contains a lease, at inception and record the lease in our financial statements upon lease commencement, which is the date when the underlying asset is made available for use by the lessor.

 

Right-of-use assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments over the lease term. Lease right-of-use assets and liabilities at commencement are initially measured at the present value of lease payments over the lease term. We generally use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement to determine the present value of lease payments except when an implicit interest rate is readily determinable. We determine our incremental borrowing rate based on market sources including relevant industry data.

 

We have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components and have elected to utilize the practical expedient to account for lease and non-lease components together as a single combined lease component, from both a lessee and lessor perspective with the exception of direct sales-type leases and production equipment classes embedded in supply agreements. From a lessor perspective, the timing and pattern of transfer are the same for the non-lease components and associated lease component and, the lease component, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease.

 

We have elected not to present short-term leases on the balance sheet as these leases have a lease term of 12 months or less at lease inception and do not contain purchase options or renewal terms that we are reasonably certain to exercise. All other lease assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. Because most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate of return, we used our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at lease commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.

EZFILL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2024

 

Our leases, where we are the lessee, do not include an option to extend the lease term. For purposes of calculating lease liabilities, lease term would include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise such options.

 

Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term as an operating expense, included as a component of general and administrative expenses, in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

 

Certain operating leases provide for annual increases to lease payments based on an index or rate, our lease has no stated increase, payments were fixed at lease inception. We calculate the present value of future lease payments based on the index or rate at the lease commencement date. Differences between the calculated lease payment and actual payment are expensed as incurred.

 

At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, the Company had no financing leases as defined in ASC 842, “Leases.”

 

On December 3, 2021, the Company signed a lease for 5,778 square feet of office space, for occupancy effective January 1, 2022. The lease term is 39 months, and the total monthly payment is $21,773, including base rent, estimated operating expenses and sales tax.

 

The initial base rent of $14,743 including sales tax was abated for months 1, 13 and 25 of the lease and is subject to a 3% annual increase. An initial Right of Use (“ROU”) asset of $735,197 was recognized as a non-cash asset addition.

A summary of the Company’s nonvested shares (due to service based restrictions) as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, is presented below:

 

       Weighted Average 
   Number of   Gant Date 
Non-Vested Shares  Shares   Fair Value

The Company has issued various equity grants to board directors, officers, consultants and employees. These grants typically contain a vesting period of one to three years and require services to be performed in order to vest in the shares granted.

 

The Company determines the fair value of the equity grant on the issuance date based upon the quoted closing trading price. These amounts are then recognized as compensation expense over the requisite service period and are recorded as a component of general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

 

The Company recognizes forfeitures of restricted shares as they occur rather than estimating a forfeiture rate. Any unvested share based compensation is reversed on the date of forfeiture, which is typically due to service termination.

 

At September 30, 2024, unrecognized stock compensation expense related to restricted stock was $62,400, which will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.29 years

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized compensation expense of $17,333 and $114,834, related to the vesting of these shares.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized compensation expense of $268,667 and $143,001, related to the vesting of these shares.

Note 9 – Material Definitive Agreement as Amended and Reverse Acquisition

 

Entry into Material Definitive Agreement Related Party – as Amended and Restated

 

On August 10, 2023, the Company, the members (the “Members”) of NextNRG Holding Corp. (“NextNRG”) and Michael Farkas, an individual, as the representative of the members, entered into an Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire from the Members 100% of the membership interests of NextNRG (the “Membership Interests”) in exchange for up to 40,000,000 shares of common stock.

 

On September 25, 2024, the Company and the Shareholders’ Representative entered into the second amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement (“Second Amendment Agreement”) to change the number of the Company’s common stock shares to be issued to the NextNRG Shareholders by the Company in exchange for 100% of the shares of NextNRG to 100,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

The Second Amendment Agreement also provides that in the event NextNRG completes the acquisition of STAT-EI, Inc. (“SEI” or “STAT”), prior to the closing, then 50,000,000 shares will vest on the closing date, and the remaining 50,000,000 shares will be subject to vesting or forfeiture (such shares subject to vesting or forfeiture, the “Restricted Shares”). As noted above, NextNRG completed the acquisition of SEI on January 19, 2024, and thus 50,000,000 will vest on the closing date, and 50,000,000 Restricted Shares will be subject to vesting or forfeiture. 25,000,000 of the 50,000,000 Restricted Shares will vest, if at all, upon the Company commercially deploying the third solar, wireless electric vehicle charging, microgrid, and/or battery storage system (such systems as more specifically defined under the Exchange Agreement) and 25,000,000 of the 50,000,000 Restricted Shares will vest, if at all, upon the Company either reaching annual revenues exceeding $100 million, the Company completing projects with deployment costs greater than $100 million, or the Company completing a capital raise greater than $25 million.

 

The Second Amendment Agreement also provides that prior to the closing, NextNRG may issue additional shares of NextNRG Stock to one or more additional persons and, in such event, such persons will execute a joinder to the Exchange Agreement and will become a party thereto. In addition, prior to the closing, subject to the approval of the Shareholders’ Representative, certain shareholders of NextNRG may transfer their shares of NextNRG Stock to persons who are currently shareholders of NextNRG or who would become new shareholders of NextNRG.

 

The Second Amendment Agreement also provides that the Company will undertake such actions as needed to obtain the approval of the stockholders of the Company for the adoption and approval of the Exchange Agreement, as amended, and the transactions contemplated thereby including the issuance of the Company’s common stock thereunder.

 

NextNRG is a renewable energy company formed by Michael D. Farkas. NextNRG has plans to develop and deploy wireless electric vehicle charging technology coupled with battery storage and solar energy solutions.

 

Upon Closing, the board of directors of the Company will appoint Michael Farkas as Chief Executive Officer, Director and Executive Chairman of the Company. Mr. Farkas is the managing member and CEO of NextNRG. Mr. Farkas is also the beneficial owner of approximately 70% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock.

 

The Closing is subject to customary closing conditions, including (i) that the Company take the actions necessary to amend its certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 50,000,000 shares of Common Stock to 500,000,000 shares of Common Stock, (ii) the receipt of the requisite stockholder approval, (iii) the receipt of the requisite third-party consents and (iv) compliance with the rules and regulations of The Nasdaq Stock Market.

 

At the time of closing, there will be a change in control, in a transaction treated as a reverse acquisition. See Form 8-K filed on November 2, 2023 for additional information.

 

On March 1, 2024, Next Charging LLC reincorporated in the state of Nevada as a C-Corporation and changed its name to NextNRG Holding Corp.

 

As of September 30, 2024 and the date of these financial statements, the transaction has not yet closed.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of EzFill Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiary

 

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of EzFill Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiary (the Company) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2023 and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company suffered a net loss from operations and has insufficient revenues and income to fully fund the operations, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and the significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

Critical Audit Matter

 

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audits of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated, or required to be communicated, to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company recognizes revenue upon the delivery of fuel and monthly on monthly membership fees in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for the products and services.

 

Auditing management’s evaluation of agreements with customers involves significant judgement, given the fact that some agreements require managements evaluation and allocation of the transaction price and transfer of goods to the customer.

 

To evaluate the appropriateness and accuracy of the assessment by management, we evaluated management’s assessment in relationship to the relevant agreements and management’s disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.

EZFILL HOLDING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2023 AND 2022

 

Note 1 - Organization and Nature of Operations

 

Organization and Nature of Operations

 

EzFill Holding, Inc. and Subsidiary (“EzFill,” “EHI,” “we,” “our” or “the Company”), and its operating subsidiary, was incorporated on March 28, 2019, in the State of Delaware and operates in Florida providing an on-demand mobile gas delivery service. Its wholly owned subsidiary Neighborhood Fuel Holdings, LLC is inactive.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

Liquidity and Going Concern

 

As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, for the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company had:

 

● Net loss of $10,471,889; and
● Net cash used in operations was $6,643,397

 

Additionally, at December 31, 2023, the Company had:

 

● Accumulated deficit of $45,317,050
● Stockholders’ equity of $1,906,206; and
● Working capital deficit of $5,210,669

 

The Company anticipates that it will need to raise additional capital immediately in order to continue to fund its operations. The Company has relied on related parties for the debt based funding of its operations. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain funds on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. There is also no assurance that the amount of funds the Company might raise will enable the Company to complete its initiatives or attain profitable operations.

 

The Company’s operating needs include the planned costs to operate its business, including amounts required to fund working capital and capital expenditures. The Company’s future capital requirements and the adequacy of its available funds will depend on many factors, including the Company’s ability to successfully expand to new markets, competition, and the need to enter into collaborations with other companies or acquire other companies to enhance or complement its product and service offerings.

 

F-41
 

 

EZFILL HOLDING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2023 AND 2022

 

There can be no assurances that financing will be available on terms which are favorable, or at all. If the Company is unable to raise additional funding to meet its working capital needs in the future, it will be forced to delay, reduce, or cease its operations.

 

We manage liquidity risk by reviewing, on an ongoing basis, our sources of liquidity and capital requirements. The Company had cash on hand of $226,985 at December 31, 2023.

 

The Company has historically incurred significant losses since inception and has not demonstrated an ability to generate sufficient revenues from the sales of its products and services to achieve profitable operations. In making this assessment we performed a comprehensive analysis of our current circumstances including: our financial position, our cash flows and cash usage forecasts for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, and our current capital structure including equity-based instruments and our obligations and debts.

 

These factors create substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within the twelve-month period subsequent to the date that these financial statements are issued.

 

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a basis that assumes the Company will continue as a going concern and which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business.

 

Management’s strategic plans include the following:

 

● Expand into new and existing markets (commercial and residential),
● Obtain additional debt and/or equity based financing,
● Collaborations with other operating businesses for strategic opportunities; and
● Acquire other businesses to enhance or complement our current business model while accelerating our growth.

 

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

EZFILL HOLDING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2023 AND 2022

 

Business Combinations

 

The Company accounts for business acquisitions using the acquisition method of accounting, in accordance with which assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their respective fair values at the acquisition date.

 

The fair value of the consideration paid, including contingent consideration, is assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

 

Significant judgments are used in determining fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as intangibles. Fair value and useful life determinations are based on, among other factors, estimates of future expected cash flows, and appropriate discount rates used in computing present values. These judgments may materially impact the estimates used in allocating acquisition date fair values to assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as the Company’s current and future operating results.

 

Actual results may vary from these estimates which may result in adjustments to goodwill and acquisition date fair values of assets and liabilities during a measurement period or upon a final determination of asset and liability fair values, whichever occurs first. Adjustments to fair values of assets and liabilities made after the end of the measurement period are recorded within the Company’s operating results.

 

See Note 9 regarding acquisition and related impairment during the year ended December 31, 2022.

 

Business Segments and Concentrations

 

The Company uses the “management approach” to identify its reportable segments. The management approach requires companies to report segment financial information consistent with information used by management for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the basis for identifying the Company’s reportable segments. The Company manages its business as one reportable segment.

 

Customers in the United States accounted for 100% of our revenues. We do not have any property or equipment outside of the United States.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2023 AND 2022

 

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

 

Preparing financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and those estimates may be material.

 

Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and other assumptions, which include both quantitative and qualitative assessments that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances.

 

Significant estimates during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, include, allowance for doubtful accounts and other receivables, inventory reserves and classifications, valuation of loss contingencies, valuation of stock-based compensation, estimated useful lives related to property and equipment, impairment of intangible assets, implicit interest rate in right-of-use operating leases, uncertain tax positions, and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Company operates in an industry that is subject to intense competition and changes in consumer demand. The Company’s operations are subject to significant risk and uncertainties including financial and operational risks including the potential risk of business failure.

 

The Company has experienced, and in the future may experience, variability in sales and earnings. The factors expected to contribute to this variability include, among others, (i) the cyclical nature of the industry, (ii) general economic conditions in the various local markets in which the Company competes, including a potential general downturn in the economy, and (iii) the volatility of prices in connection with the Company’s distribution of the product. These factors, among others, make it difficult to project the Company’s operating results on a consistent basis.

EZFILL HOLDING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company accounts for financial instruments under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements. ASC 820 provides a framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosures regarding fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, based on the Company’s principal or, in absence of a principal, most advantageous market for the specific asset or liability.

 

The Company uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy to classify and disclose all assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as well as assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, in periods subsequent to their initial measurement. The hierarchy requires the Company to use observable inputs when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs, when determining fair value.

 

The three tiers are defined as follows:

 

  ● Level 1 – Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;
  ● Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly in the marketplace for identical or similar assets and liabilities; and
  ● Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market data, which require the Company to develop its own assumptions.

 

See Investments below regarding classification as Level 1 for our Corporate Bonds (all investments were fully liquidated during 2023).

 

The determination of fair value and the assessment of a measurement’s placement within the hierarchy requires judgment. Level 3 valuations often involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity. Level 3 valuations may require the use of various cost, market, or income valuation methodologies applied to unobservable management estimates and assumptions. Management’s assumptions could vary depending on the asset or liability valued and the valuation method used. Such assumptions could include estimates of prices, earnings, costs, actions of market participants, market factors, or the weighting of various valuation methods. The Company may also engage external advisors to assist us in determining fair value, as appropriate. Although the Company believes that the recorded fair value of our financial instruments is appropriate, these fair values may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2023 AND 2022

 

The Company’s financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and accounts payable and accrued expenses – related party, are carried at historical cost. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, the carrying amounts of these instruments approximated their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

 

ASC 825-10 “Financial Instruments” allows entities to voluntarily choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value (“fair value option”). The fair value option may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable unless a new election date occurs. If the fair value option is elected for an instrument, unrealized gains and losses for that instrument should be reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The Company did not elect to apply the fair value option to any outstanding financial instruments.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Concentration of Credit Risk

 

For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the purchase date and money market accounts to be cash equivalents.

 

At December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, the Company did not have any cash equivalents.

 

The Company is exposed to credit risk on its cash and cash equivalents in the event of default by the financial institutions to the extent account balances exceed the amount insured by the FDIC, which is $250,000.

 

At December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, the Company did not experience any losses on cash balances in excess of FDIC insured limits.

 

Investments

 

Available-for-sale debt securities are recorded at fair value with the net unrealized gains and losses (that are deemed to be temporary) reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss).

 

Realized gains and losses and charges for other-than-temporary impairments are included in determining net income, with related purchase costs based on the first-in, first-out method.

 

Premiums or discounts on debt are amortized straight line over the term.

EZFILL HOLDING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2023 AND 2022

 

The Company evaluates its available-for-sale-investments for possible other-than-temporary impairments by reviewing factors such as the extent to which, and length of time, an investment’s fair value has been below the Company’s cost basis, the issuer’s financial condition, and the Company’s ability and intent to hold the investment for sufficient time for its market value to recover. For impairments that are other-than-temporary, an impairment loss is recognized in earnings equal to the difference between the investment’s cost and its fair value at the balance sheet date of the reporting period for which the assessment is made.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets including Internal Use Capitalized Software Costs

 

Management evaluates the recoverability of the Company’s identifiable intangible assets and other long-lived assets when events or circumstances indicate a potential impairment exists, in accordance with the provisions of ASC 360-10-35-15 “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” Events and circumstances considered by the Company in determining whether the carrying value of identifiable intangible assets and other long-lived assets may not be recoverable include but are not limited to significant changes in performance relative to expected operating results; significant changes in the use of the assets; significant negative industry or economic trends; and changes in the Company’s business strategy. In determining if impairment exists, the Company estimates the undiscounted cash flows to be generated from the use and ultimate disposition of these assets.

 

If impairment is indicated based on a comparison of the assets’ carrying values and the undiscounted cash flows, the impairment to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.

 

There were no impairment losses for the year ended December 31, 2023.

 

See note 3 for discussion of impairments of long lived assets.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

 

Expenditures for repair and maintenance which do not materially extend the useful lives of property and equipment are charged to operations. When property or equipment is sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts with the resulting gain or loss reflected in operations.

 

Management reviews the carrying value of its property and equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable.

 

There were no impairment losses for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Derivative Liabilities

 

The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under FASB ASC Topic No. 480, (“ASC 480”), “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” and FASB ASC Topic No. 815, (“ASC 815”) “Derivatives and Hedging”. Derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each reporting period, with any increase or decrease in the fair value recorded in the results of operations (other income/expense) as a gain or loss on the change in fair value of derivative liabilities. The Company uses a binomial pricing model to determine fair value of these instruments.

 

Upon conversion or repayment of a debt instrument in exchange for shares of common stock, where the embedded conversion option has been bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative liability (generally convertible debt and warrants), the Company records the shares of common stock at fair value, relieves all related debt, derivative liabilities, and any remaining unamortized debt discounts, and where appropriate recognizes a net gain or loss on debt extinguishment (debt based derivative liabilities). In connection with any extinguishments of equity based derivative liabilities (typically warrants), the Company records an increase to additional paid-in capital for any remaining liability balance extinguished.

 

Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification under ASC Topic 815 are reclassified to liabilities at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date.

 

At December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, the Company had no derivative liabilities.

 

Original Issue Discounts and Other Debt Discounts

 

For certain notes issued, the Company may provide the debt holder with an original issue discount. The original issue discount is recorded as a debt discount, reducing the face amount of the note, and is amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Additionally, the Company may issue common stock with certain notes issued, which are recorded at fair value. These discounts are also recorded as a component of debt discount, reducing the face amount of the note, and is amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

The combined debt discounts cannot exceed the face amount of the debt issued.

Debt Issue Cost

 

Debt issuance cost paid to lenders, or third parties are recorded as debt discounts and amortized to interest expense over the life of the underlying debt instrument, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Right of Use Assets and Lease Obligations

 

The Right of Use Asset and Lease Liability reflect the present value of the Company’s estimated future minimum lease payments over the lease term, which may include options that are reasonably assured of being exercised, discounted using a collateralized incremental borrowing rate.

 

Typically, renewal options are considered reasonably assured of being exercised if the associated asset lives of the building or leasehold improvements exceed that of the initial lease term, and the performance of the business remains strong. Therefore, the Right of Use Asset and Lease Liability may include an assumption on renewal options that have not yet been exercised by the Company. The Company’s operating leases contained renewal options that expire at various dates with no residual value guarantees. Future obligations relating to the exercise of renewal options is included in the measurement if, based on the judgment of management, the renewal option is reasonably certain to be exercised. Factors in determining whether an option is reasonably certain of exercise include, but are not limited to, the value of leasehold improvements, the value of the renewal rate compared to market rates, and the presence of factors that would cause a significant economic penalty to the Company if the option is not exercised. Management reasonably plans to exercise all options, and as such, all renewal options are included in the measurement of the right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities.

 

As the rate implicit in leases are not readily determinable, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate to calculate the lease liability that represents an estimate of the interest rate the Company would incur to borrow on a collateralized basis over the term of a lease within a particular currency environment. See Note 7.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company generates its revenue from mobile fuel sales, either as a one-time purchase, or through a monthly membership. Revenue is recognized at the time of delivery and includes a delivery fee for each delivery or a subscription fee on a monthly basis for memberships.

 

Under Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09 (Topic 606) “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, revenue from contracts with customers is measured based on the consideration specified in the contract with the customer, and excludes any sales incentives, discounts, rebates, and amounts collected on behalf of third parties.

EZFILL HOLDING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2023 AND 2022

 

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to a customer and is the unit of account under Topic 606. The Company’s contracts with its customers do not include multiple performance obligations. The Company recognizes revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for such products or services.

 

The following represents the analysis management has considered in determining its revenue recognition policy:

 

Identify the contract with a customer

 

A contract with a customer exists when (i) the Company enters into an enforceable contract with a customer that defines each party’s rights regarding the services to be transferred and identifies the payment terms related to these services, (ii) the contract has commercial substance and, (iii) the Company determines that collection of substantially all consideration for services that are transferred is probable based on the customer’s intent and ability to pay the promised consideration. The Company applies judgment in determining the customer’s ability and intention to pay, which is based on a variety of factors including the customer’s historical payment experience or, in the case of a new customer, published credit and financial information pertaining to the customer.

 

Identify the performance obligations in the contract

 

Performance obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the services that will be transferred to the customer that are both capable of being distinct, whereby the customer can benefit from the service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available from third parties or from the Company, and are distinct in the context of the contract, whereby the transfer of the services is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. To the extent a contract includes multiple promised services, the Company must apply judgment to determine whether promised services are capable of being distinct and distinct in the context of the contract. If these criteria are not met the promised services are accounted for as a combined performance obligation.

 

Determine the transaction price

 

The transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which the Company will be entitled in exchange for transferring services to the customer. To the extent the transaction price includes variable consideration, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration that should be included in the transaction price utilizing either the expected value method or the most likely amount method depending on the nature of the variable consideration. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price if, in the Company’s judgment, it is probable that a significant future reversal of cumulative revenue under the contract will not occur.

 

None of the Company’s contracts contain a significant financing component.

 

F-53
 

 

EZFILL HOLDING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2023 AND 2022

 

Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract

 

If the contract contains a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation. However, if a series of distinct services that are substantially the same qualifies as a single performance obligation in a contract with variable consideration, the Company must determine if the variable consideration is attributable to the entire contract or to a specific part of the contract. For example, a bonus or penalty may be associated with one or more, but not all, distinct services promised in a series of distinct services that forms part of a single performance obligation. Contracts that contain multiple performance obligations require an allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation based on a relative standalone selling price basis unless the transaction price is variable and meets the criteria to be allocated entirely to a performance obligation or to a distinct service that forms part of a single performance obligation. The Company determines standalone selling price based on the price at which the performance obligation is sold separately.

 

If the standalone selling price is not observable through past transactions, the Company estimates the standalone selling price taking into account available information such as market conditions and internally approved pricing guidelines related to the performance obligations.

 

The Company’s contracts have a distinct single performance obligation and there are no contracts with variable consideration.

 

Recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation

 

Revenue is recognized at the time the related performance obligation is satisfied by transferring a promised service to a customer.

 

The following reflects additional discussion regarding our revenue recognition policies for each of our material revenue streams. For each revenue stream we do not offer any returns, refunds or warranties, and no arrangements are cancellable. Additionally, all contract consideration is fixed and determinable at the initiation of the contract.

 

Currently, the Company only has two separate and distinct single performance obligations in its contractual arrangements.

 

First, the Company generally recognizes membership revenues at the end of each month after services have been rendered. There are no prepaid membership revenues.

 

Second, the Company recognizes fuel sales each month after delivery has occurred.

Contract Liabilities (Deferred Revenue)

 

Contract liabilities represent deposits made by customers before the satisfaction of performance obligation and recognition of revenue. Upon completion of the performance obligation(s) that the Company has with the customer based on the terms of the contract, the liability for the customer deposit is relieved and revenue is recognized.

 

At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had deferred revenue of $0, respectively.

 

The following represents the Company’s disaggregation of revenues for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022:

Cost of Sales

 

Cost of sales primarily include fuel costs and wages paid to our drivers.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income tax using the asset and liability method prescribed by ASC 740, “Income Taxes”. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect in the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to offset deferred tax assets if based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or loss in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

The Company follows the accounting guidance for uncertainty in income taxes using the provisions of ASC 740 “Income Taxes”. Using that guidance, tax positions initially need to be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities.

 

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, the Company had no uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain income tax positions in other expense. No interest and penalties related to uncertain income tax positions were recorded for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

 

For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, the Company generated net losses, resulting in an estimated income tax liability of $0.

 

Valuation of Deferred Tax Assets

 

The Company’s deferred income tax assets include certain future tax benefits. The Company records a valuation allowance against any portion of those deferred income tax assets when it believes, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax asset will not be realized.

 

The Company reviews the likelihood that it will realize the benefit of its deferred tax assets and therefore the need for valuation allowances on a quarterly basis, or more frequently if events indicate that a review is required. In determining the requirement for a valuation allowance, the historical and projected financial results of the legal entity or consolidated group recording the net deferred tax asset is considered, along with all other available positive and negative evidence.

 

Certain categories of evidence carry more weight in the analysis than others based upon the extent to which the evidence may be objectively verified. The Company looks to the nature and severity of cumulative pretax losses (if any) in the current three-year period ending on the evaluation date, recent pretax losses and/or expectations of future pretax losses.

 

Other factors considered in the determination of the probability of the realization of the deferred tax assets include, but are not limited to:

 

  ● Earnings history;
  ● Projected future financial and taxable income based upon existing reserves and long-term estimates of commodity prices;
  ● The duration of statutory carry forward periods;
  ● Prudent and feasible tax planning strategies readily available that may alter the timing of reversal of the temporary difference;
  ● Nature of temporary differences and predictability of reversal patterns of existing temporary differences; and
  ● The sensitivity of future forecasted results to commodity prices and other factors.

EZFILL HOLDING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2023 AND 2022

 

Concluding that a valuation allowance is not required is difficult when there is significant negative evidence which is objective and verifiable, such as cumulative losses in recent years. The Company utilizes a rolling twelve quarters of pre-tax income or loss as a measure of its cumulative results in recent years. However, a cumulative three year loss is not solely determinative of the need for a valuation allowance. The Company also considers all other available positive and negative evidence in its analysis.

 

At December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets resulting in a net carrying amount of $0.

 

Advertising Costs

 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs are included as a component of general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

The Company recognized $136,582 and $1,364,168 in marketing and advertising costs during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for our stock-based compensation under ASC 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation” using the fair value-based method. Under this method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. This guidance establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments.

 

The Company uses the fair value method for equity instruments granted to non-employees and uses the Black-Scholes model for measuring the fair value of options.

 

The fair value of stock-based compensation is determined as of the date of the grant or the date at which the performance of the services is completed (measurement date) and is recognized over the vesting periods.

 

When determining fair value of stock options, the Company considers the following assumptions in the Black-Scholes model:

 

● Exercise price,
● Expected dividends,
● Expected volatility,
● Risk-free interest rate; and
● Expected life of option

Stock Warrants

 

In connection with certain financing (debt or equity), consulting and collaboration arrangements, the Company may issue warrants to purchase shares of its common stock. The outstanding warrants are standalone instruments that are not puttable or mandatorily redeemable by the holder and are classified as equity awards. The Company measures the fair value of warrants issued for compensation using the Black-Scholes option pricing model as of the measurement date. However, for warrants issued that meet the definition of a derivative liability, fair value is determined based upon the use of a binomial pricing model.

 

Warrants issued in conjunction with the issuance of common stock are initially recorded at fair value as a reduction in additional paid-in capital of the common stock issued. All other warrants (for services) are recorded at fair value and expensed over the requisite service period or at the date of issuance if there is not a service period.

 

Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) per Share and Reverse Stock Split

 

Basic earnings per share is calculated using the two-class method and is computed by dividing net earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and certain other shares committed to be, but not yet issued. Net earnings available to common shareholders represent net earnings to common shareholders reduced by the allocation of earnings to participating securities. Losses are not allocated to participating securities. Common shares outstanding and certain other shares committed to be, but not yet issued, include restricted stock and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) for which no future service is required.

 

Diluted earnings per share is calculated under both the two-class and treasury stock methods, and the more dilutive amount is reported. Diluted earnings per share is computed by taking the sum of net earnings available to common shareholders, dividends on preferred shares and dividends on dilutive mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred shares, divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and certain other shares committed to be, but not yet issued, plus all dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during the period (stock options, warrants, convertible preferred stock, and convertible debt).

 

Preferred shares and unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and, therefore, are included in the earnings allocation in computing earnings per share under the two-class method of earnings per share.

 

Unvested shares of common stock are excluded from the denominator in computing net loss per share.

EZFILL HOLDING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2023 AND 2022

 

Restricted stock and RSUs granted as part of share-based compensation contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends and dividend equivalents, respectively, and therefore, prior to the requisite service being rendered for the right to retain the award, restricted stock and RSUs meet the definition of a participating security. RSUs granted under an executive compensation plan are not considered participating securities as the rights to dividend equivalents are forfeitable.

 

The following potentially dilutive equity securities outstanding as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 were as follows:

 

  

December 31,

2023

  

December 31,

2022

 
Stock options (vested)   -    11,254 
Warrants (vested)   81,452    81,452 
Total common stock equivalents   81,452    92,706 

 

Warrants and stock options included as commons stock equivalents represent those that are fully vested and exercisable. See Note 9.

 

Based on the potential common stock equivalents noted above at December 31, 2023, the Company has sufficient authorized shares of common stock (500,000,000) to settle any potential exercises of common stock equivalents.

 

On April 27, 2023, the Company executed a 1:8 reverse stock split and decreased the number of shares of its authorized common stock from 500,000,000 shares to 50,000,000 and its preferred stock from 50,000,000 to 5,000,000. As a result, all share and per share amounts have been retroactively restated to the earliest period presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

 

On June 19, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a 1:2.5 reverse stock split. As a result, all share and per share amounts have been retroactively restated to the earliest period presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Management has evaluated all recent accounting pronouncements issued through the date these financial statements were available to be issued and found no recent accounting pronouncements issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, when adopted, will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

 

In March 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures (“ASU 2022-02”), which eliminates the accounting guidance on troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) for creditors in ASC 310, Receivables (Topic 310), and requires entities to provide disclosures about current period gross write-offs by year of origination. Also, ASU 2022-02 updates the requirements related to accounting for credit losses under ASC 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), and adds enhanced disclosures for creditors with respect to loan refinancings and restructurings for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty.

 

This guidance was adopted on January 1, 2023. The adoption of ASU 2022-02 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07 - Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This ASU improves reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact this will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 includes amendments that further enhance income tax disclosures, primarily through standardization and disaggregation of rate reconciliation categories and income taxes paid by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, on either a prospective or retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-09 on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

On April 7, 2021, the Company entered into a Technology License Agreement with Fuel Butler LLC (“Licensor”), under which the Company licensed certain proprietary technology. Under the terms of the license, the Company issued 13,287 shares of its common stock to the Licensor upon signing. The Company also issued 16,608 shares to the Licensor in May 2021 upon the filing of a patent application related to the licensed technology. Upon completion of the Company’s IPO, 23,251 shares were issued to the Licensor. The Company was going to issue up to 36,538 additional shares to the Licensor upon the achievement of certain milestones. In addition, the Company has granted stock options for 26,573 shares at an exercise price of $75.20 per share that will become exercisable for three years after the end of the fiscal year in which certain sales levels were to be achieved using the licensed technology. The Company has the option for four years after the achievement of certain milestones to either acquire the technology or acquire the Licensor for the purchase price of 53,146 of its common shares. Until the Company exercises one of these options, it will share with the Licensor 50% of pre-revenue costs and 50% of the net revenue, as defined, from the use of the technology. Under the Technology Agreement, the Company licensed proprietary technology that it believed would enable the Company to expand its services to provide its fuel service in high density areas. Fuel Butler has delivered a purported notice of termination of the Technology Agreement based on certain alleged breaches arising from our failure to issue equity securities to Fuel Butler. The Company has been in communications with Fuel Butler regarding the termination of the Technology Agreement and continues to believe that the Company is in compliance with the Technology Agreement and that the Technology Agreement continues to be in force. While the Company contests Fuel Butler’s claims of breach and contends that in fact Fuel Butler is in breach, the Company has communicated to Fuel Butler that it wishes to terminate the Technology Agreement. The Company has sent a proposal to Fuel Butler whereby it would cease utilizing the Technology and Fuel Butler would return any shares it received under the Technology Agreement. Accordingly, the Company considers the license to be fully impaired and has fully amortized the license as of December 31, 2022.

The impairment loss of $1,987,500 was included in impairment loss during the year ended December 31, 2022.

 

See Note 9 for details of intangibles from an acquisition during the year ended December 31, 2022.

 

Additionally, goodwill was considered impaired, and the Company recognized an impairment loss of $166,838, or the remaining balance of goodwill, during the year ended December 31, 2022. This loss was primarily due to the fall in the Company’s stock price and the decrease of the Company’s market capitalization as well as past operating performance. As a consequence, management forecasts were revised, and additional risk factors were applied.

 

The fair value of the intangibles was estimated using a combination of market comparables (level 1 inputs) and expected present value of future cash flows (level 3 inputs) and as a result impairment was recorded for a total of $482,064.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $105,506 related to items classified as construction in process that were deemed unusable.

 

Depreciation and amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 was $1,108,186 and $1,769,621, respectively.

Note #1 – Note Payable – Related Party - Material Stockholder greater than 5% and related Loss on Debt Extinguishment

 

The Company originally executed a six-month (6) note payable with a face amount of $1,500,000, less an original issue discount of $150,000, along with an additional $140,000 in transaction related fees (total debt discount and issue costs of $290,000), resulting in net proceeds of $1,210,000. The $290,000 in debt discounts and issuance costs are being amortized over the life of the note to interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2023 AND 2022

 

In connection with obtaining this debt, the Company also committed 100,000 shares of common stock to the lender as additional interest expense (commitment fee). Under the terms of the agreement, only 40,000 shares of common stock were required to be issued on the commitment date resulting in a fair value of $256,000 ($6.40/share), based upon the quoted closing price. The Company recorded this amount as a debt discount which is being amortized over the life of the note. Total discounts recorded aggregated $546,000.

 

See Note 8.

 

In October 2023 (the initial maturity date), the Company executed a loan extension with the lender to extend the due date from October 2023 to April 2024. At this time, the remaining 60,000 shares were issued to the lender.

 

The Company evaluated the modification of terms under ASC 470-50, “Debt - Modification and Extinguishment”, and concluded that the extension of the maturity date resulted in significant and consequential changes to the economic substance of the debt and thus resulted in an extinguishment of the debt.

 

Specifically, on the date of modification, the Company determined that the present value of the cash flows of the modified debt instrument was greater than 10% different from the present value of the remaining cash flows under the original debt instrument.

 

As a result, the Company recorded a loss on debt extinguishment of $291,000 as follows:

 

      
Fair value of debt and common stock on extinguishment date*  $1,791,000 
Fair value of debt subject to modification   1,500,000 
Loss on debt extinguishment - related party  $291,000 

 

*The Company valued the issuance of the 60,000 commitment shares at $291,000, based upon the quoted closing trading price on the date of modification ($4.85/share).

 

This note also contains a conversion feature only upon an event of default. The conversion feature is equal to the greater of (a) $3.85 and (b) the lower of (i) the average VWAP over the ten (10) trading day period preceding conversion. Additionally, the note contains an anti-dilution right in the form of a ratchet feature. If at the time of eligible conversion (only if Company is in default) common stock is sold or other debt is converted into common stock at a price lower than the defined conversion price under the terms of this note, the conversion price of this note will be reduced to the lower amount.

 

The Company has determined that in the event of default, the note at that time will be treated as a derivative liability subject to financial reporting at fair value and related mark to market adjustments in subsequent reporting periods.

This note is subject to cross-default. In the event this note or any other notes issued by this lender are in default (Notes #1, #2 and #3), all of the notes with this lender will be considered in default.

 

At December 31, 2023, the Company is not in default on this note and believes it is in compliance with all terms and conditions of the note.

 

This lender is considered a related party since it has a greater than 5% controlling interest in the Company’s outstanding common stock.

 

Note #2 – Note Payable – Related Party - Material Stockholder greater than 5%

 

The Company executed a six-month (6) note payable with a face amount of $600,000, less an original issue discount of $60,000, along with an additional $28,900 in transaction related fees (total debt discount and issue costs in cash of $88,900), resulting in net proceeds of $511,100.

 

In connection with obtaining this note, the Company also issued 60,000 shares of common stock to the lender having a fair value of $406,500, based upon the quoted closing trading price ($6.78/share).

 

The issuance of these shares resulted in an additional debt issue cost. In total, the Company recorded debt discounts/issuance costs of $495,400 which is being amortized over the life of the note to interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

 

See Note 8.

 

While the note is initially due in March 2024, the Company has the right to extend the note by an additional six-months (6) to September 2024.

 

Subsequent to December 31, 2023, pursuant to the January 17, 2024 global amendment, effective for all previously issued notes with this lender, in the event of default, the lender may convert the note into shares of common stock equal to the greater of $3.08 and the lower of the average VWAP over the ten (10) preceding trading days; or the greater of the average of the VWAP over the ten (10) preceding trading days or a floor price of $1.75. Additionally, if the Company raises $10,000,000 or more, then Note #3 will be repaid. If the Company raises $15,000,000 or more, then both Notes #2 and #3 will be repaid.

 

The Company has determined that in the event of default, the note at that time will be treated as a derivative liability subject to financial reporting at fair value and related mark to market adjustments in subsequent reporting periods.

At December 31, 2023, the Company is not in default on this note and believes it is in compliance with all terms and conditions of the note.

 

This lender is considered a related party since it has a greater than 5% controlling interest in the Company’s outstanding common stock.

 

Note #3 – Note Payable – Related Party - Material Stockholder greater than 5%

 

In October 2023, the Company executed a three-month (3) note payable with a face amount of $320,000, less an original issue discount of $48,000, resulting in net proceeds of $272,000.

 

In connection with obtaining this note, the Company was required to issue 104,000 shares of common stock to the lender having a fair value of $539,760, based upon the quoted closing trading price ($5.19/share). However, the issuance of these shares would result in the lender having a greater than 9.99% ownership of the Company, which is prohibited by agreement. These shares are classified as common stock issuable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

 

The future issuance of these shares resulted in an additional debt issue cost. In total, the Company recorded debt discounts/issuance costs of $320,000 which is being amortized over the life of the note to interest expense. The aggregate discounts calculated above exceeded the face amount of the note and therefore were limited to the face amount of the note totaling $320,000.

 

Pursuant to the January 17, 2024 global amendment, effective for all previously issued notes with this lender, in the event of default, the lender may convert the note into shares of common stock equal to the greater of $3.08 and the lower of the average VWAP over the ten (10) preceding trading days; or the greater of the average of the VWAP over the ten (10) preceding trading days or a floor price of $1.75. Additionally, if the Company raises $10,000,000 or more, then Note #3 will be repaid. If the Company raises $15,000,000 or more, then both Notes #2 and #3 will be repaid.

 

The Company has determined that in the event of default, the note at that time will be treated as a derivative liability subject to financial reporting at fair value and related mark to market adjustments in subsequent reporting periods.

 

This note is subject to cross-default. In the event this note or any other notes issued by this lender are in default (Notes #1, #2 and #3), all of the notes with this lender will be considered in default.

 

At December 31, 2023, the Company is not in default on this note and believes it is in compliance with all terms and conditions of the note.

 

This lender is considered a related party since it has a greater than 5% controlling interest in the Company’s outstanding common stock.

 

Subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2023, in January 2024, with respect to Notes #2 and #3 discussed above, as a result of extending the note maturity dates as amended to April 19, 2024, the Company is required to issue 72,000 shares of common stock. However, the issuance of these shares would result in the lender having a greater than 9.99% ownership of the Company, which is prohibited by agreement. These shares will be classified as common stock issuable.

 

The Company determined the fair value of these shares to be $270,000 ($3.75/share), based upon the quoted closing trading price. These shares will be recorded as additional interest expense.

DECEMBER 31, 2023 AND 2022

 

Notes #4 - #16 - Notes Payable – Related Party - Material Stockholder greater than 20%

 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company executed several two-month (2) notes payable with an aggregate face amount of $2,585,000, less original issue discounts of $235,000, resulting in net proceeds of $2,350,000.

 

These notes are initially due two-months (2) from their issuance dates. If the notes reach maturity and are still outstanding, the notes and related accrued interest will automatically renew for successive two-month (2) periods.

 

These notes bear interest at 8% for the 1st nine-months (9), then 18% each month thereafter.

 

The lender is required to issue in writing any event of default. If an event of default occurs, all outstanding principal and accrued interest will be multiplied by 150% and become immediately due. Additionally, if the Company raises $3,000,000 (debt or equity based), the entire outstanding principal and accrued interest are immediately due.

 

Finally, in an event of default, the lender has the right to convert any or all of the outstanding principal and accrued interest into common stock equal to the greater of the average VWAP closing price over the ten (10) trading days ending on the date of conversion or $1.75 (the floor price). In the event such a conversion were to occur, which can only happen by default, the Company would evaluate the potential for recording derivative liabilities.

 

At December 31, 2023, the Company is not in default on any of these notes and believes it is in compliance with all terms and conditions of the notes.

 

This lender is considered a related party as it is controlled by Michael Farkas, an approximate 20% stockholder in the Company.

 

Note Payable - Other

 

During 2023, an entity controlled by this majority stockholder (approximately 20% common stock ownership) advanced unsecured working capital funds (net proceeds after original issue discount of $12,500 was $250,000) to the Company. In 2023, the note principal of $262,500 along with accrued interest of $13,125, aggregating $275,625 was repaid.

Line of Credit

 

On December 10, 2021, the Company entered into a Securities-Based Line of Credit, Promissory Note, Security, Pledge and Guaranty Agreement (the “Line of Credit”) with City National Bank of Florida.

 

Pursuant to the revolving Line of Credit, the Company may borrow up to the Credit Limit, determined from time to time in the sole discretion of the Bank. The Credit Limit was $0 and $3,000,000 at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

 

Outstanding borrowings under the line of credit were $0 and $3,000,000 at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

 

The line of credit was repaid in September 2023 for $1,008,813 (principal of $1,000,000 plus accrued interest of $8,813).

 

To secure the repayment of the Credit Limit, the Bank had a first priority lien and continuing security interest in the securities held in the Company’s investment portfolio with the Bank. The Company liquidated its entire position in the investment portfolio during the second quarter of 2023.

 

The amount outstanding under the Line of Credit bore interest equal to the Reference Rate plus the Spread (as defined in the Line of Credit) in effect each day. Interest was due and payable monthly in arrears.

 

The interest rate on the Line of Credit was 5.75% at December 31, 2022.

 

The Bank could, at any time, without notice, and at its sole discretion, demand the repayment of the outstanding line of credit.

 

In connection with the repayment of the line of credit, no further advances had been made and the bank closed the line of credit.

Note 6 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company evaluates its financial assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements on a recurring basis to determine the appropriate level in which to classify them for each reporting period. This determination requires significant judgments to be made.

 

The Company did not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2023. As noted above, all of the Company’s corporate bonds were measured at fair value at December 31, 2022.

 

Note 7 – Commitments and Contingencies

 

Operating Leases

 

We have entered into various operating lease agreements, including our corporate headquarters. We account for leases in accordance with ASC Topic 842: Leases, which requires a lessee to utilize the right-of-use model and to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases are classified as either financing or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the statement of operations. In addition, a lessor is required to classify leases as either sales-type, financing or operating. A lease will be treated as a sale if it transfers all of the risks and rewards, as well as control of the underlying asset, to the lessee. If risks and rewards are conveyed without the transfer of control, the lease is treated as financing. If the lessor does not convey risk and rewards or control, the lease is treated as operating. We determine if an arrangement is a lease, or contains a lease, at inception and record the lease in our financial statements upon lease commencement, which is the date when the underlying asset is made available for use by the lessor.

 

Right-of-use assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments over the lease term. Lease right-of-use assets and liabilities at commencement are initially measured at the present value of lease payments over the lease term. We generally use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement to determine the present value of lease payments except when an implicit interest rate is readily determinable. We determine our incremental borrowing rate based on market sources including relevant industry data.

EZFILL HOLDING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2023 AND 2022

 

We have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components and have elected to utilize the practical expedient to account for lease and non-lease components together as a single combined lease component, from both a lessee and lessor perspective with the exception of direct sales-type leases and production equipment classes embedded in supply agreements. From a lessor perspective, the timing and pattern of transfer are the same for the non-lease components and associated lease component and, the lease component, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease.

 

We have elected not to present short-term leases on the balance sheet as these leases have a lease term of 12 months or less at lease inception and do not contain purchase options or renewal terms that we are reasonably certain to exercise. All other lease assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. Because most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate of return, we used our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at lease commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.

 

Our leases, where we are the lessee, do not include an option to extend the lease term. For purposes of calculating lease liabilities, lease term would include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise such options.

 

Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term as an operating expense, included as a component of general and administrative expenses, in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

 

Certain operating leases provide for annual increases to lease payments based on an index or rate, our lease has no stated increase, payments were fixed at lease inception. We calculate the present value of future lease payments based on the index or rate at the lease commencement date. Differences between the calculated lease payment and actual payment are expensed as incurred.

 

At December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, the Company had no financing leases as defined in ASC 842, “Leases.”

 

On December 3, 2021, the Company signed a lease for 5,778 square feet of office space, for occupancy effective January 1, 2022. The lease term is 39 months, and the total monthly payment is $21,773, including base rent, estimated operating expenses and sales tax.

 

The initial base rent of $14,743 including sales tax was abated for months 1, 13 and 25 of the lease and is subject to a 3% annual increase. An initial Right of Use (“ROU”) asset of $735,197 was recognized as a non-cash asset addition.

The Company has issued various equity grants to board directors, officers, consultants and employees. These grants typically contain a vesting period of one to three years and require services to be performed in order to vest in the shares granted.

 

The Company determines the fair value of the equity grant on the issuance date based upon the quoted closing trading price. These amounts are then recognized as compensation expense over the requisite service period and are recorded as a component of general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

 

The Company recognizes forfeitures of restricted shares as they occur rather than estimating a forfeiture rate. Any unvested share based compensation is reversed on the date of forfeiture, which is typically due to service termination.

 

At December 31, 2023, unrecognized stock compensation expense related to restricted stock was $324,134, which will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.27 years

The fair value of the stock options granted in 2023 were determined using the Black-Scholes Option pricing model with the following assumptions:

 

Expected term (years)   5.00 
Expected volatility   59% - 62% 
Expected dividends   0%
Risk free interest rate   4.00%

 

In, 2023, the Company determined that all outstanding options previously granted were held by former officers, directors and employees. None of these individuals had timely exercised their options post termination in an allowable time period, resulting in the cancellation and forfeiture of any issued and outstanding amounts held.

 

Year Ended December 31, 2022

 

The Company granted 28,623 stock options, having a fair value of $357,400.

 

Of the total, 26,123 stock options were granted to certain former officers and directors for services to be rendered, having a fair value of $350,000.

 

Of these total options granted, 11,429 options were fully vested ($153,125), the remaining 14,694 were subject to cancellation due to termination of services. In 2023, the Company reversed previously recorded stock based compensation of $9,375, which was reversed due to non-vesting in these service based grants. Due to some of these options being cancelled during the third quarter of 2023, an additional $14,063 was also reversed due to non-vesting in those service based grants.

 

The remaining 2,500 stock options were granted to a consultant for services to be rendered, having a fair value of $7,400. Only 1,250 options having a fair value of $3,700 vested. The remaining 1,250 options ($3,700) will not vest and no additional compensation was recorded.

The fair value of the stock options granted in 2022 were determined using the Black-Scholes Option pricing model with the following assumptions:

 

Expected term (years)   5.00 
Expected volatility   62%
Expected dividends   0%

Further, the Purchase Agreement includes provisions wherein the Company agrees to utilize Seller’s affiliate Palmdale Oil Company, Inc. (“Palmdale”) as one if its main fuel suppliers throughout the state of Florida, with preferred pricing on all fuel purchases. Palmdale will also provide the Company with access to vehicle parking at their locations throughout the state in order to support the expansion of the Company’s mobile fueling business. This acquisition was considered an acquisition of a business under ASC 805.

The Company reviews its filing positions for all open tax years in all U.S. Federal and State jurisdictions where the Company is required to file. The tax years subject to examination include the years 2020 and forward.

 

There are no uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the consolidated financial statements. If the Company incurs an income tax liability in the future, interest on any income tax liability would be reported as interest expense and penalties on any income tax liability would be reported as income taxes. The Company’s conclusions regarding uncertain tax positions may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based upon ongoing analyses of tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof as well as other factors.

 

Note 12 – Subsequent Events

 

Notes Payable Related Party – Material Stockholder greater than 20%

 

Subsequent to December 31, 2023, the Company executed several two-month (2) notes payable with an aggregate face amount of $1,070,000, less original issue discounts of $100,000, resulting in net proceeds of $970,000.

 

These notes are initially due two-months (2) from their issuance dates. If the notes reach maturity and are still outstanding, the notes and related accrued interest will automatically renew for successive two-month (2) periods.

EZFILL HOLDING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2023 AND 2022

 

These notes bear interest at 8% for the 1st nine-months (9), then 18% each month thereafter.

 

In connection with obtaining these notes, the Company also issued 156,000 shares of common stock to the lender, which will be accounted for as a debt discount.

 

The lender is required to issue in writing any event of default. If an event of default occurs, all outstanding principal and accrued interest will be multiplied by 150% and become immediately due. Additionally, if the Company raises $3,000,000 (debt or equity based), the entire outstanding principal and accrued interest are immediately due.

 

Finally, in an event of default, the lender has the right to convert any or all of the outstanding principal and accrued interest into common stock equal to the greater of the average VWAP closing price over the ten (10) trading days ending on the date of conversion or $1.75 (the floor price). In the event such a conversion were to occur, which can only happen by default, the Company would evaluate the potential for recording derivative liabilities.

 

This lender is considered a related party as it is controlled by Michael Farkas, an approximate 20% stockholder in the Company.

 

See Note 5 for all other related note issuances with his lender.

 

NASDAQ – Continued Listing Rule or Standard

 

As previously disclosed, on August 22, 2023, the Company received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Staff (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the Company’s stockholders’ equity did not comply with the minimum $2,500,000 stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing set forth in Listing Rule 5550(b) (the “Equity Rule”). Upon submission of the Company’s plan to regain compliance, the Staff granted the Company an extension until February 20, 2024 to comply with this requirement.

 

On February 21, 2024, the Company received a delist determination letter (the “Delist Letter”) from the Staff advising the Company that the Staff had determined that the Company did not meet the terms of the extension. Specifically, the Company did not complete its proposed transaction to regain compliance with the Equity Rule and evidence compliance on or before February 20, 2024.

 

The Company has requested an appeal for the Staff’s determination. The hearing has been scheduled for May 2, 2024. At the hearing, the Company intends to present its plan for regaining compliance with the Equity Rule and may request a further extension to complete the execution of its plan. No assurance can be provided that Nasdaq will ultimately accept the Company’s plan or that the Company will ultimately regain compliance with the Equity Rule.

 

See Form 8-K filed on February 23, 2024.

 

Change in Authorized Shares

 

On June 14, 2024, the Company amended its certificate of incorporation to increase its authorized shares of common stock from 50,000,000 to 500,000,000 shares.

 

Reverse Stock Split

 

On June 19, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a 1:2.5 reverse stock split. As a result, all share and per share amounts have been retroactively restated to the earliest period presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Note 1 - Organization and Nature of Operations

 

Organization and Nature of Operations

 

NextNRG Holding Corp (formerly known as Next Charging LLC) (collectively, “Next,” “NextNRG,” “we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company”) was incorporated in Florida in 2016. The Company also has a wholly owned subsidiary called NextNRG, LLC, which was incorporated in Delaware in 2023.

 

In January 2024, we acquired 100% of Stat-EI, Inc. (“STAT”), which was incorporated in Florida in 2021.

 

We are dedicated to being a pioneering renewable energy company, specifically with applications to electric vehicles. The Company expects to offer innovative static and dynamic wireless power charging stations.

 

In March 2024, Next Charging LLC was reincorporated in Nevada as a C-Corporation and changed its name to NextNRG Holding Corp.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial statements (“U.S. GAAP”). Accordingly, they do not contain all information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements.

 

In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all of the adjustments necessary (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) to present the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2024 and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future period.

 

These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Form S-1 Registration Statement of EzFill Holdings, Inc. (“EZFL”) filed on November 19, 2024 (as amended) for the year ended December 31, 2023. The Company and EZFL are currently contemplating a share exchange transaction whereby Next will become the accounting acquirer. This transaction has not yet closed.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2024

(UNAUDITED)

 

Management acknowledges its responsibility for the preparation of the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements which reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary in its opinion for a fair statement of its consolidated financial position and the consolidated results of its operations for the periods presented.

 

Liquidity, Going Concern and Management’s Plans

 

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.

 

As reflected in the accompanying unaudited financial statements, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company had:

 

●Net income of $1,064,763; and
● Net cash used by operations was $1,210,331

 

Additionally, at September 30, 2024, the Company had:

 

● Retained Earnings of 500,744
● Stockholders’ equity of $1,911,296; and
● Working capital deficit of $3,322,757

 

The Company has cash on hand of $83,373 at September 30, 2024. The Company does not expect to generate sufficient revenues and positive cash flows from operations sufficiently to meet its current obligations. However, the Company may seek to raise debt or equity-based capital at favorable terms, though such terms are not certain. Our capital raises may come from both third parties and related parties.

 

These factors create substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within the twelve-month period subsequent to the date that these financial statements are issued. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a basis that assumes the Company will continue as a going concern and which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business.

● Close a merger with EZFL during the year ended December 31, 2024.

 

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Principles of Consolidation and Non-Controlling Interest

 

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

 

For entities that are consolidated, but not 100% owned, a portion of the income or loss and corresponding equity is allocated to owners other than the Company. The aggregate of the income or loss and corresponding equity that is not owned by us is included in Non-controlling Interests in the consolidated financial statements.

 

Business Combinations and Asset Acquisitions

 

The Company accounts for acquisitions that qualify as business combinations by applying the acquisition method according to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”).

 

Transaction costs related to the acquisition of a business are expensed as incurred and excluded from the fair value of consideration transferred.

 

The identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and noncontrolling interests in an acquired entity are recognized and measured at their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of consideration transferred over the fair values of identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and noncontrolling interests in an acquired entity, net of the fair value of any previously held interest in the acquired entity, is recorded as goodwill. Such valuations require management to make significant estimates and assumptions.

 

Purchase price allocations may be preliminary, and, during the measurement period not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition, changes in assumptions and estimates that result in adjustments to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded in the period the adjustments are determined.

 

F-96

 

 

NEXTNRG HOLDING CORP AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2024

(UNAUDITED)

 

Significant judgments are used in determining fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as intangibles. Fair value and useful life determinations are based on, among other factors, estimates of future expected cash flows, and appropriate discount rates used in computing present values. These judgments may materially impact the estimates used in allocating acquisition date fair values to assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as the Company’s current and future operating results. Actual results may vary from these estimates which may result in adjustments to goodwill and acquisition date fair values of assets and liabilities during a measurement period or upon a final determination of asset and liability fair values, whichever occurs first. Adjustments to fair values of assets and liabilities made after the end of the measurement period are recorded within the Company’s earnings.

 

The Company evaluates acquisitions of assets and other similar transactions to assess whether the transaction should be accounted for as a business combination or asset acquisition by first applying a screen test to determine whether substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets. If so, the transaction is accounted for as an asset acquisition. If not, further determination is required as to whether the Company has acquired inputs and processes that can create outputs that would meet the definition of a business. When applying the screen test, significant judgment is required to determine whether an acquisition is a business combination or an acquisition of assets.

 

Accounting for asset acquisitions falls under the guidance of Topic 805, Business Combinations, specifically Subtopic 805-50. A cost accumulation model is used to determine an asset acquisition’s cost. Assets acquired are based on their cost, generally allocated to them on a relative fair value basis. Direct acquisition-related costs are included in the cost of the acquired assets.

 

The distinction between business combinations and asset acquisitions involves judgment, particularly when applying the screen test to determine the nature of the transaction. Incorrect judgments or changes in decisions in these areas could materially affect the determination of goodwill, the recognition and measurement of acquired assets and assumed liabilities, and, consequently, our financial position and results of operations.

Acquisition of Stat-EI, Inc. (Business Combination)

 

In January 2024, the Company acquired 100% of the equity interests in STAT in exchange for $5,500,000. STAT has patented technology that will be used in the Company’s expected future operations. Prior to the acquisition, the operations of STAT were insignificant.

 

In 2023, the Company paid a deposit of $250,000 towards this acquisition. In 2024, the Company paid an additional $1,550,000 for total cash consideration paid of $1,800,000 at closing. The balance of $3,700,000 was financed through a note payable. This note bears interest at 7%, is unsecured and due in May 2024 (“initial maturity date”). The Company also has the option to extend the due date to July 2024 for no additional consideration or change in terms (See Note 7). Subsequent to the initial maturity date, the lender has agreed to extend the due date of the note multiple times, and has done so with extensions to August 17, 2024, September 2, 2024, September 9, 2024, September 16, 2024, and September 23, 2024, for payments of $40,000, $20,000, $20,000, $20,000 and $30,000, respectively.

 

The Company has accounted for this transaction as a business combination.

 

The table below summarizes the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed:

The valuation of the intangible assets acquired was based upon an independent third party valuation specialist.

 

At the time of acquisition, STAT had no revenues and historical losses from operations. As a result, and given the immaterial nature of this acquisition, the Company elected not to present any pro-forma financial information for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

 

There were no impairment losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.

 

Subsequent to September 30, 2024, the Company completed the full repayment of the outstanding note payable, which was initially recorded as part of the transaction to acquire STAT-EI. This payment finalizes the acquisition

 

See Note 6 for discussion of intangible assets acquired from STAT.

 

Business Segments

 

The Company uses the “management approach” to identify its reportable segments. The management approach requires companies to report segment financial information consistent with information used by management for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the basis for identifying the Company’s reportable segments. The Company has identified one single reportable operating segment. The Company manages its business on the basis of one operating and reportable segment and derives revenues from selling its product and related services. The Company’s long-lived assets are located in the United States.

 

Use of Estimates

 

Preparing financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and those estimates may be material.

 

Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and other assumptions, which include both quantitative and qualitative assessments that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Significant estimates during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, include valuation of marketable securities, estimated useful lives of property and equipment, valuation of intangible assets, valuation of stock-based compensation, uncertain tax positions, and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company accounts for financial instruments under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements. ASC 820 provides a framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosures regarding fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, based on the Company’s principal or, in absence of a principal, most advantageous market for the specific asset or liability.

 

The Company uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy to classify and disclose all assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as well as assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, in periods subsequent to their initial measurement. The hierarchy requires the Company to use observable inputs when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs, when determining fair value.

The three tiers are defined as follows:

 

●Level 1 - Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;
●Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly in the marketplace for identical or similar assets and liabilities; and
●Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market data, which require the Company to develop its own assumptions.

 

The determination of fair value and the assessment of a measurement’s placement within the hierarchy requires judgment. Level 3 valuations often involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity. Level 3 valuations may require the use of various cost, market, or income valuation methodologies applied to unobservable management estimates and assumptions. Management’s assumptions could vary depending on the asset or liability valued and the valuation method used. Such assumptions could include estimates of prices, earnings, costs, actions of market participants, market factors, or the weighting of various valuation methods. The Company may also engage external advisors to assist us in determining fair value, as appropriate.

 

Although the Company believes that the recorded fair value of our financial instruments is appropriate, these fair values may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values.

The Company’s financial instruments, including cash, marketable securities – related party, accounts payable and accrued expenses and accounts payable and accrued expenses – related party, are carried at historical cost. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, the carrying amounts of these instruments approximated their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

 

ASC 825-10 “Financial Instruments” allows entities to voluntarily choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value (“fair value option”). The fair value option may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable unless a new election date occurs. If the fair value option is elected for an instrument, unrealized gains and losses for that instrument should be reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The Company did not elect to apply the fair value option to any outstanding financial instruments.

 

The following table summarizes the Company’s marketable securities – related party measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy:

 

   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Total 
   September 30, 2024

Fair values were determined for each individual security in the investment portfolio. The Company’s marketable securities are considered to be available-for-sale investments as defined under FASB ASC 320, Investments – Debt and Equity Securities.

 

An allowance for credit loss was not recorded for the marketable securities as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Concentration of Credit Risk

 

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the purchase date and money market accounts to be cash equivalents.

 

At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, the Company did not have any cash equivalents.

 

The Company is exposed to credit risk on its cash and cash equivalents in the event of default by the financial institutions to the extent account balances exceed the amount insured by the FDIC, which is $250,000.

 

At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, the Company did not experience any losses on cash balances in excess of FDIC insured limits.

 

Marketable Securities

 

The Company’s securities investments that are acquired and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are recorded at fair value based on quoted market price (level 1) on the balance sheet in current assets, with the change in fair value during the period included in earnings.

 

At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 the fair value of our marketable securities was $12,703,491 and $0, respectively.

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, there were no impairments.

 

See Note 3 for marketable securities – related party.

 

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

 

Management evaluates the recoverability of the Company’s identifiable intangible assets and other long-lived assets when events or circumstances indicate a potential impairment exists, in accordance with the provisions of ASC 360-10-35-15 “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” Events and circumstances considered by the Company in determining whether the carrying value of identifiable intangible assets and other long-lived assets may not be recoverable include but are not limited to: significant changes in performance relative to expected operating results; significant changes in the use of the assets; significant negative industry or economic trends; and changes in the Company’s business strategy. In determining if impairment exists, the Company estimates the undiscounted cash flows to be generated from the use and ultimate disposition of these assets.

 

If impairment is indicated based on a comparison of the assets’ carrying values and the undiscounted cash flows, the impairment to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.

 

There were no impairment losses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

 

Expenditures for repair and maintenance which do not materially extend the useful lives of property and equipment are charged to operations. When property and equipment is sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts with the resulting gain or loss reflected in operations.

Management reviews the carrying value of its property and equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable.

 

There were no impairment losses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Derivative Liabilities

 

The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under FASB ASC Topic No. 480, (“ASC 480”), “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” and FASB ASC Topic No. 815, (“ASC 815”) “Derivatives and Hedging”. Derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each reporting period, with any increase or decrease in the fair value recorded in the results of operations (other income/expense) as change in fair value of derivative liabilities. The Company uses a binomial pricing model to determine fair value of these instruments.

 

Upon conversion or repayment of a debt instrument in exchange for shares of common stock, where the embedded conversion option has been bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative liability (generally convertible debt and warrants), the Company records the shares of common stock at fair value, relieves all related debt, derivatives, and debt discounts, and recognizes a net gain or loss on debt extinguishment.

 

Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification under ASC Topic 815 are reclassified to liabilities at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date.

At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, the Company had no derivative liabilities.

 

Debt Discount

 

For certain notes issued, the Company may provide the debt holder with an original issue discount. The original issue discount is recorded as a debt discount, reducing the face amount of the note, and is amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt, in the Statements of Operations.

 

Debt Issue Cost

 

Debt issuance cost paid to lenders, or third parties are recorded as debt discounts and amortized to interest expense over the life of the underlying debt instrument, in the Statements of Operations.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income tax using the asset and liability method prescribed by ASC 740, “Income Taxes”. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect in the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to offset deferred tax assets if based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or loss in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

The Company follows the accounting guidance for uncertainty in income taxes using the provisions of ASC 740 “Income Taxes”. Using that guidance, tax positions initially need to be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities.

 

At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, the Company had no uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

 

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain income tax positions in other expense. No interest and penalties related to uncertain income tax positions were recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Valuation of Deferred Tax Assets

 

The Company’s deferred income tax assets include certain future tax benefits. The Company records a valuation allowance against any portion of those deferred income tax assets when it believes, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax asset will not be realized.

 

The Company reviews the likelihood that it will realize the benefit of its deferred tax assets and therefore the need for valuation allowances on a quarterly basis, or more frequently if events indicate that a review is required. In determining the requirement for a valuation allowance, the historical and projected financial results of the legal entity or consolidated group recording the net deferred tax asset is considered, along with all other available positive and negative evidence.

 

Certain categories of evidence carry more weight in the analysis than others based upon the extent to which the evidence may be objectively verified. The Company looks to the nature and severity of cumulative pretax losses (if any) in the current three-year period ending on the evaluation date, recent pretax losses and/or expectations of future pretax losses.

 

Other factors considered in the determination of the probability of the realization of the deferred tax assets include, but are not limited to:

 

● Earnings history;
●Projected future financial and taxable income based upon existing reserves and long term estimates of commodity prices;
●The duration of statutory carryforward periods;
●Prudent and feasible tax planning strategies readily available that may alter the timing of reversal of the temporary difference;
●Nature of temporary differences and predictability of reversal patterns of existing temporary differences; and
●The sensitivity of future forecasted results to commodity prices and other factors.

 

Concluding that a valuation allowance is not required is difficult when there is significant negative evidence which is objective and verifiable, such as cumulative losses in recent years. The Company utilizes a rolling twelve quarters of pre-tax income or loss as a measure of its cumulative results in recent years. However, a cumulative three year loss is not solely determinative of the need for a valuation allowance. The Company also considers all other available positive and negative evidence in its analysis.

 

At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets resulting in a net carrying amount of $0.

Advertising Costs

 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs are included as a component of general and administrative expense in the statements of operations.

 

The Company recognized $29,454 and $5,989 in marketing and advertising costs during the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

The Company recognized $65,099 and  $20,539 in marketing and advertising costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for our stock-based compensation under ASC 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation” using the fair value-based method. Under this method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. This guidance establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges it equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments.

 

The Company uses the fair value method for equity instruments granted to non-employees and use the Black-Scholes model for measuring the fair value of options.

 

The fair value of stock-based compensation is determined as of the date of the grant or the date at which the performance of the services is completed (measurement date) and is recognized over the vesting periods.

 

When determining fair value of stock options, the Company considers the following assumptions in the Black-Scholes model:

 

● Exercise price,
● Expected dividends,
● Expected volatility,
● Risk-free interest rate; and
● Expected life of option

Stock Warrants

 

In connection with certain financing, consulting and collaboration arrangements, the Company may issue warrants to purchase shares of its common stock. The outstanding warrants are standalone instruments that are not puttable or mandatorily redeemable by the holder and are classified as equity awards. The Company measures the fair value of the awards using the Black-Scholes option pricing model as of the measurement date. Warrants issued in conjunction with the issuance of common stock are initially recorded at fair value as a reduction in additional paid-in capital of the common stock issued. All other warrants are recorded at fair value as expense over the requisite service period or at the date of issuance if there is not a service period.

 

Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) per Share

 

Basic earnings per share is calculated using the two-class method and is computed by dividing net earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and certain other shares committed to be, but not yet issued. Net earnings available to common shareholders represent net earnings to common shareholders reduced by the allocation of earnings to participating securities. Losses are not allocated to participating securities. Common shares outstanding and certain other shares committed to be, but not yet issued, include restricted stock and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) for which no future service is required.

 

Diluted earnings per share is calculated under both the two-class and treasury stock methods, and the more dilutive amount is reported. Diluted earnings per share is computed by taking the sum of net earnings available to common shareholders, dividends on preferred shares and dividends on dilutive mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred shares, divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and certain other shares committed to be, but not yet issued, plus all dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during the period (stock options, warrants, convertible preferred stock, and convertible debt).

 

Preferred shares and unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and, therefore, are included in the earnings allocation in computing earnings per share under the two-class method of earnings per share.

 

Unvested shares of common stock are excluded from the denominator in computing net loss per share (See Note 8).

Restricted stock and RSUs granted as part of share-based compensation contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends and dividend equivalents, respectively, and therefore, prior to the requisite service being rendered for the right to retain the award, restricted stock and RSUs meet the definition of a participating security. RSUs granted under an executive compensation plan are not considered participating securities as the rights to dividend equivalents are forfeitable.

 

At September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, the Company had no common stock equivalents.

In March 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures (“ASU 2022-02”), which eliminates the accounting guidance on troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) for creditors in ASC 310, Receivables (Topic 310), and requires entities to provide disclosures about current period gross write-offs by year of origination. Also, ASU 2022-02 updates the requirements related to accounting for credit losses under ASC 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), and adds enhanced disclosures for creditors with respect to loan refinancings and restructurings for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty.

 

This guidance was adopted on January 1, 2023. The adoption of ASU 2022-02 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07 - Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This ASU improves reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact this will have on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 includes amendments that further enhance income tax disclosures, primarily through standardization and disaggregation of rate reconciliation categories and income taxes paid by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, on either a prospective or retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-09 on its financial statements and related disclosures.

 

There are various other updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to a have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 4 – Notes and Accrued Interest Receivable – Related Party

 

The Company currently has notes receivable due from two (2) separate parties.

 

EzFill Holdings, Inc.

 

Our Chief Executive Officer has an approximate 69% ownership in EZFL and we are a material lender to EZFL’s operations.

 

All advances made to EZFL mature 2 months from the issuance date. The notes are automatically renewable for 2 month periods until repaid. The notes bear interest at 8% for the first nine (9) months outstanding, then increase to 18%. These advances are unsecured and considered short term. None of the advances are in default.

 

The Company has three (2) sources of income from the issuance of these notes to EZFL.

 

Accrued Interest Receivable/Interest Income

 

The Company records interest income based on the stated value of the note and applies the interest rate.

 

Original Issue Discount/Accretion Income

 

Since the advances made have an original issue discount feature, the Company recognizes that discount into earnings over the initial two (2) month term of the advance.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded accretion income – related party of $113,861 and $0, respectively.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded accretion income – related party of $386,475 and $0, respectively.

 

Default Income

 

If an Event of Default happens, (i) the total remaining balance, including principal, interest, and other owed amounts, will be immediately due at 150% of the unpaid amount, and (ii) the Lender will have the option to convert any or all of the outstanding balance, including principal, interest, penalties, and other amounts, into fully paid shares of Common Stock.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded accretion income – related party of $3,266,816 and $0, respectively.

 

See Note 9 for additional advances and conversions of notes and accrued interest receivable.

 

Balance Labs, Inc.

 

This entity is controlled by our principal stockholder and Chief Executive Officer who is also the Chief Executive Officer of Balance Labs, Inc.

 

The notes bear interest at 8% - 10%. These advances are unsecured and considered short term. All advances were made prior to December 31, 2019 totaling $185,700 and are in default.

 

The Company has determined that based upon Balance Labs, Inc.’s financial position none of the outstanding advances are likely to be repaid. As a result, the Company has fully reserved these notes and related accrued interest receivable.

 

The Company has one (1) source of income from the issuance of these notes to Balance Labs, Inc.

 

Accrued Interest Receivable/Interest Income

 

The Company records interest income based on the stated value of the note and applies the interest rate.

 

Given Balance Labs, Inc.’s inability to repay the advances, the Company continues to accrue interest resulting in an increase in the note and accrued interest receivable total balance, however, each of these increases is immediately reserved, resulting in an increase of the allowance for doubtful accounts.

 

Salary Overpayment

 

On September 27, 2024, the company paid $15,407 two (2) employees in error.

 

This amount was subsequently collected on October 11, 2024.

●$250,000 during year 1, with an increase of 4% annually each year thereafter,

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Stockholders or Board of Directors

NextNRG Holding Corp.

 

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of NextNRG Holding Corp. (the Company) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has no revenues, multiple period net losses and negative operating cash flows, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters are discussed in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

Critical Audit Matters

 

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

 

Going Concern

 

As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company had a going concern due to no revenues, multiple period net losses and negative operating cash flows as of December 31, 2023. Auditing management’s evaluation of a going concern can be a significant judgment given the fact that the Company uses management estimates on future revenues and expenses which are not able to be substantiated.

 

To evaluate the appropriateness and accuracy of the assessment by management, we evaluated management’s assessment in relationship to the relevant agreements and the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Years Ended December 31, 2023, and 2022

 

Note 1 – Business Organization, Nature of Operations and Name Change

 

Next Charging LLC (now NextNRG Holding Corp.) and its wholly-owned subsidiary Next NRG LLC was incorporated on April 20, 2016, under the laws of the State of Florida. Next Charging LLC is a forward-thinking technology company dedicated to revolutionizing the Green Energy industry.

 

On March 1, 2024, Next Charging LLC was reincorporated in Nevada as a C-Corporation and changed its name to NextNRG Holding Corp. (“NextNRG” or “the Company”).

 

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

 

Going Concern

 

There is substantial doubt about the Company to continue as a going concern. Reasons such as no revenues and multiple period net losses, and negative operating cash flows. The Company without additional sources of debt or equity capital would potentially need to cease operations. Management plans to raise additional capital within the next twelve months that is expected to sustain its operations for the next year. No assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, it may contain restrictions on our operations, in the case of debt financing or cause substantial dilution for our stockholders, in case of equity financing. In addition, the Company expects to begin a marketing campaign to market and sell its services. There can be no assurance that such a plan will be successful.

 

The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company accounts for financial instruments under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements. ASC 820 provides a framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosures regarding fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, based on the Company’s principal or, in absence of a principal, most advantageous market for the specific asset or liability.

 

The Company uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy to classify and disclose all assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as well as assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, in periods subsequent to their initial measurement. The hierarchy requires the Company to use observable inputs when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs, when determining fair value.

 

F-126

 

 

NextNRG Holding Corp. and Subsidiary

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Years Ended December 31, 2023 and 2022

 

The three tiers are defined as follows:

 

  ● Level 1 - Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;
  ● Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly in the marketplace for identical or similar assets and liabilities; and
  ● Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market data, which require the Company to develop its own assumptions.

 

The determination of fair value and the assessment of a measurement’s placement within the hierarchy requires judgment. Level 3 valuations often involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity. Level 3 valuations may require the use of various cost, market, or income valuation methodologies applied to unobservable management estimates and assumptions. Management’s assumptions could vary depending on the asset or liability valued and the valuation method used. Such assumptions could include estimates of prices, earnings, costs, actions of market participants, market factors, or the weighting of various valuation methods. The Company may also engage external advisors to assist us in determining fair value, as appropriate. Although the Company believes that the recorded fair value of our financial instruments is appropriate, these fair values may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values.

 

The Company’s financial instruments, including cash, notes receivable – related party, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and accounts payable and notes payable – related party, are carried at historical cost. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, the carrying amounts of these instruments approximated their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

 

ASC 825-10 “Financial Instruments” allows entities to voluntarily choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value (“fair value option”). The fair value option may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable unless a new election date occurs. If the fair value option is elected for an instrument, unrealized gains and losses for that instrument should be reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The Company did not elect to apply the fair value option to any outstanding financial instruments.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Concentration of Credit Risk

 

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the purchase date and money market accounts to be cash equivalents.

 

At December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, the Company did not have any cash equivalents.

 

The Company is exposed to credit risk on its cash and cash equivalents in the event of default by the financial institutions to the extent account balances exceed the amount insured by the FDIC, which is $250,000.

 

At December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, the Company did not experience any losses on cash balances in excess of FDIC insured limits.

 

Restricted Cash (Escrow Deposit)

 

In 2023, the Company paid a deposit of $250,000 towards the purchase of Stat-EI Inc, a microgrid technology company. In 2024, the Company closed on the purchase of Stat-EI, Inc., which became a wholly owned subsidiary at that time. The Company paid $5,500,000.

For the Years Ended December 31, 2023 and 2022

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates, and those estimates may be material.

 

Business Segments

 

The Company uses the “management approach” to identify its reportable segments. The management approach requires companies to report segment financial information consistent with information used by management for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the basis for identifying the Company’s reportable segments. The Company has identified one single reportable operating segment. The Company manages its business on the basis of one operating and reportable segment.

 

Property and equipment

 

Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

 

Expenditures for repair and maintenance which do not materially extend the useful lives of property and equipment are charged to operations. When property or equipment is sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts with the resulting gain or loss reflected in operations.

 

Management reviews the carrying value of its property and equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable.

 

There were no impairment losses for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

 

At December 31, 2023, property and equipment consisted of one vehicle (acquired in 2023), which is being depreciated over an estimated useful life of five years as follows:

 

 

      
Vehicle  $88,734 
Less: accumulated depreciation   9,992 
Vehicle – net  $78,742 

 

Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 was $9,992 and $0, respectively.

 

Notes Receivable and Interest Receivable – Related Party

 

Interest receivable is recorded at fair value on the date revenue is recognized. The Company provides allowances for doubtful accounts by specific customer identification. If market conditions decline, actual collections may not meet expectations and may result in decreased cash flow and increased bad debt expense. Once collection efforts by the Company and its collection agency are exhausted, the determination for charging off uncollectible receivables is made. The allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 is $309,098 and $291,841, respectively.

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income tax using the asset and liability method prescribed by ASC 740, “Income Taxes”. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect in the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to offset deferred tax assets if based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or loss in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

The Company follows the accounting guidance for uncertainty in income taxes using the provisions of ASC 740 “Income Taxes”. Using that guidance, tax positions initially need to be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, the Company had no uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

 

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain income tax positions in other expense. No interest and penalties related to uncertain income tax positions were recorded for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

 

Effective January 1, 2022, the Company elected to be taxed as a C-Corporation. All activity prior to this date has been passed through to the members of the LLC.

 

Advertising, Marketing and Promotional Costs

 

Advertising, marketing, and promotional expenses are expensed as incurred and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the accompanying audited statement of operations. For the years ended December 31, 2023, and 2022, advertising, marketing, and promotion expenses were $1,050 and $10,000, respectively.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development expenses are charged to operations as incurred. During the years ending December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company incurred $0 and $0, respectively.

 

Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) per Share and Reverse Stock Split

 

Basic earnings per share is calculated using the two-class method and is computed by dividing net earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and certain other shares committed to be, but not yet issued. Net earnings available to common shareholders represent net earnings to common shareholders reduced by the allocation of earnings to participating securities. Losses are not allocated to participating securities. Common shares outstanding and certain other shares committed to be, but not yet issued, include restricted stock and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) for which no future service is required.

 

Diluted earnings per share is calculated under both the two-class and treasury stock methods, and the more dilutive amount is reported. Diluted earnings per share is computed by taking the sum of net earnings available to common shareholders, dividends on preferred shares and dividends on dilutive mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred shares, divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and certain other shares committed to be, but not yet issued, plus all dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during the period (stock options, warrants, convertible preferred stock, and convertible debt).

NextNRG Holding Corp. and Subsidiary

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Years Ended December 31, 2023 and 2022

 

Preferred shares and unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and, therefore, are included in the earnings allocation in computing earnings per share under the two-class method of earnings per share.

 

Unvested shares of common stock are excluded from the denominator in computing net loss per share.

 

Restricted stock and RSUs granted as part of share-based compensation contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends and dividend equivalents, respectively, and therefore, prior to the requisite service being rendered for the right to retain the award, restricted stock and RSUs meet the definition of a participating security. RSUs granted under an executive compensation plan are not considered participating securities as the rights to dividend equivalents are forfeitable.

 

At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had no common stock equivalents. As a result, basic and diluted loss per share amounts are the same.

 

Related Parties

 

Parties are considered to be related to the Company if the parties, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, control, are controlled by, or are under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal with if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.

 

See Note 3 which related to a note receivable with the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.

 

See Note 5 for a discussion of related party debt.

 

Recent Accounting Standards

 

Changes to accounting principles are established by the FASB in the form of Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU’s”) to the FASB’s Codification. We consider the applicability and impact of all ASU’s on our financial position, results of operations, stockholders’ deficit, cash flows, or presentation thereof. Management has evaluated all recent accounting pronouncements issued through the date these financial statements were available to be issued and found no recent accounting pronouncements issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, when adopted, will have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company.

 

In March 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures (“ASU 2022-02”), which eliminates the accounting guidance on troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) for creditors in ASC 310, Receivables (Topic 310), and requires entities to provide disclosures about current period gross write-offs by year of origination. Also, ASU 2022-02 updates the requirements related to accounting for credit losses under ASC 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), and adds enhanced disclosures for creditors with respect to loan refinancings and restructurings for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty.

 

This guidance was adopted on January 1, 2023. The adoption of ASU 2022-02 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07 - Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This ASU improves reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact this will have on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Years Ended December 31, 2023 and 2022

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 includes amendments that further enhance income tax disclosures, primarily through standardization and disaggregation of rate reconciliation categories and income taxes paid by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, on either a prospective or retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-09 on its financial statements and related disclosures.

 

There are various other updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to a have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Note 3 – Note Receivable - Related Party

 

The note receivables to the Farkas Group in amount of $73,579 at 3% interest rate for both 2023 and 2022 with total accrued interest was fully paid off in the 3rd quarter of 2023. The interest receivable amounts at December 31, 2023 and 2022 was $0 and $9,796, respectively. The interest income for 2023 was $895 and for 2022 was $1,556.

 

The Company loaned to EzFill Holding, Inc. (“EZFL”), a related party (our Chief Executive Officer and sole owner has an approximate 20% ownership interest in EZFL), a total of $2,585,000 with a maturity date equal to 2 months from the issuance date. The notes are automatically renewable for 2 month periods until repaid. The notes bear interest at 8% for the first nine (9) months outstanding, then increase to 18%. These advances are unsecured and considered short term. None of the advances are in default.

 

At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company reflected note receivable – related party of $2,582,675 and $72,191, respectively, as follows:

 

Notes Receivable consist of the following at December 31, 2023:

 

      
Note receivable  $2,770,700 
Interest receivable   177,548 
Less: accretion discount   56,475

Introduction

 

On August 10, 2023, the Company, the members (the “Members”) of NextNRG Holding Corp. (formerly Next Charging, LLC) (“NextNRG” or “Next”) and Michael Farkas, an individual, as the representative of the members, entered into an Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire from the Members 100% of the membership interests of NextNRG (the “Membership Interests”) in exchange for up to 40,000,000 shares of common stock.

 

This agreement was amended on November 2, 2023, as follows:

 

  - 14,000,000 shares of common stock will vest upon the closing of the acquisition of NextNRG,
  - 14,000,000 shares of common stock will vest upon the acquisition of the first target (this occurred on January 19, 2024 upon the acquisition of Stat-EI, Inc.); and
  - 12,000,000 shares of common stock will vest upon the Company commercially deploying the third solar, wireless electric vehicle charging, microgrid, and/or battery storage system.

 

On September 25, 2024, the Company and the Shareholders’ Representative entered into the second amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement (“Second Amendment Agreement”) to change the number of the Company’s common stock shares to be issued to the NextNRG Shareholders by the Company in exchange for 100% of the shares of NextNRG to 100,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

The Second Amendment Agreement also provides that in the event NextNRG completes the acquisition of STAT-EI, Inc. (“SEI” or “STAT”), prior to the closing, then 50,000,000 shares will vest on the closing date, and the remaining 50,000,000 shares will be subject to vesting or forfeiture (such shares subject to vesting or forfeiture, the “Restricted Shares”). As noted above, NextNRG completed the acquisition of SEI on January 19, 2024, and thus 50,000,000 will vest on the closing date, and 50,000,000 Restricted Shares will be subject to vesting or forfeiture. 25,000,000 of the 50,000,000 Restricted Shares will vest, if at all, upon the Company commercially deploying the third solar, wireless electric vehicle charging, microgrid, and/or battery storage system (such systems as more specifically defined under the Exchange Agreement) and 25,000,000 of the 50,000,000 Restricted Shares will vest, if at all, upon the Company either reaching annual revenues exceeding $100 million, the Company completing projects with deployment costs greater than $100 million, or the Company completing a capital raise greater than $25 million.

 

The Second Amendment Agreement also provides that prior to the closing, NextNRG may issue additional shares of NextNRG Stock to one or more additional persons and, in such event, such persons will execute a joinder to the Exchange Agreement and will become a party thereto. In addition, prior to the closing, subject to the approval of the Shareholders’ Representative, certain shareholders of NextNRG may transfer their shares of NextNRG Stock to persons who are currently shareholders of NextNRG or who would become new shareholders of NextNRG.

 

The Second Amendment Agreement also provides that the Company will undertake such actions as needed to obtain the approval of the stockholders of the Company for the adoption and approval of the Exchange Agreement, as amended, and the transactions contemplated thereby including the issuance of the Company’s common stock thereunder.

 

NextNRG is a renewable energy company formed by Michael D. Farkas. NextNRG has plans to develop and deploy wireless electric vehicle charging technology coupled with battery storage and solar energy solutions.

Upon Closing, the board of directors of the Company will appoint Michael Farkas as Chief Executive Officer, Director and Executive Chairman of the Company. Mr. Farkas is the managing member and CEO of NextNRG. Mr. Farkas is also the beneficial owner of approximately 70% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock.

 

The Closing is subject to customary closing conditions, including (i) that the Company take the actions necessary to amend its certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 50,000,000 shares of Common Stock to 500,000,000 shares of Common Stock, (ii) the receipt of the requisite stockholder approval, (iii) the receipt of the requisite third-party consents and (iv) compliance with the rules and regulations of The Nasdaq Stock Market.

 

At the time of closing, there will be a change in control, in a transaction treated as a reverse acquisition. See Form 8-K filed on November 2, 2023 for additional information.

 

On March 1, 2024, Next Charging LLC reincorporated in the state of Nevada as a C-Corporation and changed its name to NextNRG Holding Corp.

 

See Form 8-K filed on November 2, 2023 and related amendments for additional information.

 

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presents the combination of the financial information of EZFL and NextNRG adjusted to present the merger. Primarily due to a change in control, this transaction has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition. Effects of adjustments made are collectively referred to as the “transaction accounting adjustments.”

 

The transaction between EZFL and NextNRG is also considered a related party transaction. Prior to the transaction, Michael Farkas owned approximately 66.1% of EZFL and 100% of NextNRG.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023 give pro forma effect to the reverse acquisition as if it had occurred on January 1, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

The historical financial statements of EZFL included in this Pro Forma were filed by the Company on Form 10K (Year ended December 31, 2023 on April 1, 2024).

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet and unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations are collectively referred to as the “pro forma financial information.”

 

The pro forma financial information should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes. In addition, the pro forma financial information is derived from and should be read in conjunction with the following historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of the Company and NextNRG:

 

The pro forma financial information does not reflect adjustments for any other consummated or probable acquisitions by the Company since such transactions were not significant in accordance with Regulation S-X Rule 3-05, as amended by Release No. 33-10786, Amendments to Financial Disclosures About Acquired and Disposed Businesses, as adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 20, 2020.

 

F-134

 

 

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The pro forma financial information has been prepared by the Company in accordance with Regulation S-X Article 11, Pro Forma Financial Information, as amended by the final rule, Release No. 33-10786, which is referred to herein as Article 11.

 

The Company and NextNRG prepare their respective financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. The NextNRG Acquisition will be accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting, with NextNRG being treated as the accounting acquirer in a transaction classified as a reverse acquisition.

 

In identifying NextNRG as the acquiring entity for accounting purposes, EZFL and NextNRG took into account a number of factors, including the relative voting rights of all equity instruments in the combined company, in which NextNRG stockholders and EZFL stockholders are expected to own approximately 94% and 6%, respectively, of the common stock, the composition of senior management of the combined company and the corporate governance structure of the combined company. No single factor was the sole determinant in the overall conclusion that NextNRG is the acquirer for accounting purposes; rather all factors were considered in arriving at such conclusion.

 

The transaction accounting adjustments are preliminary, based upon available information as of the date of the Schedule 14A filing, and have been prepared solely for the purpose of this pro forma financial information. These adjustments are based on preliminary estimates and may be different from the adjustments that will be determined based on the finalization of acquisition accounting, and these differences could be material. The transaction accounting adjustments are based on preliminary estimates of the fair value of consideration related to the NextNRG Acquisition, including the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Certain valuations and assessments related to the assets and liabilities acquired and consideration provided are in process and will not be completed until subsequent to the filing of the Form 8-K/A. The estimated fair values assigned in this unaudited pro forma financial information are preliminary and represent the Company’s current best estimates of fair value and are subject to revision.

 

The pro forma financial information is based on various adjustments and assumptions and is not necessarily indicative of what the Company’s consolidated statement of operations or consolidated balance sheet would have been had the NextNRG Acquisition been completed as of the dates indicated or will be for any future periods. The pro forma financial information does not purport to project the future financial position or operating results of the combined companies. The pro forma financial information does not include adjustments to reflect any potential revenue, synergies or dis-synergies, or cost savings that may be achieved in the future, or the associated costs that may be necessary to achieve such revenues, synergies or cost savings.

Description of the Share Exchange Agreement and Valuation

 

The Company expects to issue up to a total of 100,000,000 shares of common stock as follows:

 

●Issuance of 50,000,000 shares of common stock to Next’s members upon closing the reverse acquisition related to the Stat-EI, Inc. asset purchase which occurred prior to closing (see above),
●Issuance of 25,000,000 shares of common stock to Next’s members upon the deployment of 3 solar, wireless electrical vehicle charging, microgrid and/or other battery storage system.
●Issuance of 25,000,000 shares of common stock to Next’s members upon the Company either reaching annual revenues exceeding $100,000,000, the Company completing projects with deployment costs greater than $100,000,000, or the Company completing a capital raise greater than $25,000,000.

 

The remaining milestone issuances (50,000,000 shares of common stock) have not yet been met.

 

The Company, prior to issuing any shares as noted above, was required to first increase their authorized shares of common stock to be able to effectuate these transactions.

 

Effective June 14, 2024, the Company had filed a certificate of amendment to its Articles of Incorporation to increase its authorized shares of common stock from 50,000,000 to 500,000,000 shares of $0.0001 par value common stock.

 

The issuance of the first 50,000,000 shares of common stock upon the closing of the NextNRG merger are valued using the closing stock price on September 30, 2024 for purposes of this Pro Forma. The additional 50,000,000 shares are considered part of a contingent consideration arrangement and have also been valued using the closing stock price on September 30, 2024 for purposes of this Pro Forma. The valuation of these shares are subject to revision and adjustment. All 100,000,000 shares of common stock issued are expected to vest in full.

 

The Company has determined that the contingent consideration arrangement will meet the requirements for classification as an equity transaction upon the closing of the NextNRG merger. First, the Company has satisfied the criteria in ASC 815-40-15 and 815-40-25 for equity treatment. Second, since the transaction has occurred with a related party, the Company believes this is in substance a capital transaction.

Anticipated Accounting Treatment

 

NextNRG (“accounting acquirer,” and the entity whose equity interests were acquired) merged with and into EZFL (“legal acquirer,” and the entity that issued securities for financial reporting purposes), a then operating public company, in a transaction accounted for as a reverse acquisition.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared using the acquisition method of accounting under GAAP. GAAP requires that business combinations are accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting, which requires all of the following steps:

 

  (a) identifying the acquirer;
  (b) determining the acquisition date;
  (c) recognizing and measuring the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree; and
  (d) recognizing and measuring goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase.

 

On the acquisition date (for purposes of the proforma was September 30, 2024), the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be measured at fair value, with limited exceptions.

 

Both EZFL and NextNRG have common ownership, and this transaction is deemed to be with a related party. Prior to the transaction, Michael Farkas owned approximately 70% of EZFL and 67% of NextNRG. Since the reverse acquisition occurred with a related party, the Company did not recognize goodwill or any intangible assets, rather an adjustment to additional paid-in capital was recorded to reflect the nature of the transaction.

 

In reporting its weighted average shares outstanding and earnings (loss) per share data, all share and per share amounts have been retroactively restated to the earliest period presented.

 

Transaction costs associated with the reverse acquisition were $0.

 

The results of operations for the combined company will be reported prospectively after the acquisition date.

 

While pro forma adjustments related to EZFL’s assets and liabilities were based on estimates of fair value determined from preliminary information received from EZFL and initial discussions between NextNRG and EZFL management, due diligence efforts, and information available in the historical audited financial statements of EZFL and the related notes, the detailed valuation studies necessary to arrive at the required estimates of the fair value of the EZFL assets to be acquired and the liabilities to be assumed, as well as the identification of all adjustments necessary to conform NextNRG and EZFL accounting policies, remain subject to completion.

 

NextNRG intends to complete the valuations and other studies upon completion of the transaction and will finalize the purchase price allocation as soon as practicable within the measurement period, but in no event later than one year following the closing date of the transaction. The assets and liabilities of EZFL have been measured based on various preliminary estimates using assumptions that NextNRG believes are reasonable, based on information that is currently available.

 

Differences between these preliminary estimates and the final acquisition accounting may occur, and those differences could have a material impact on the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and the combined company’s future results of operations and financial position.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements constitute forward-looking information and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. See “Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” included elsewhere in this proxy statement.

4 - The Company recorded interest expense on outstanding advances from our Chief Executive Officer as well as amortization of debt discount on third party debt.

 

5 - The Company reflected investment income on marketable securities it received from EZFL in connection with notes receivable due. These shares are marked to market each reporting period.

NextNRG has experienced net losses and negative cash flows from operations since its inception.  At September 30, 2024, NextNRG had:

 

Cash and cash equivalents of $83,373

Net income of $1,064,760

Net cash used in operations of ($1,210,331); and

Retained earnings of $500,743,

Stockholders’ equity of $1,911,296,

Working capital deficit of $3,322,757,

 

NextNRG is dependent upon its Founder and Chief Executive Officer for working capital as other outside sources are not currently available. Without adequate funding, NextNRG may not be able to meet its obligations as they come due. The management of NextNRG believes these conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. NextNRG is focused on developing its proprietary technology and effecting a merger with an operating business. The Company will need to continue to raise additional debt and/or equity based capital to sustain its future plans.

ITEM 17. Undertakings.

 

(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

 

(1) to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

 

(i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

 

(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective Registration Statement; and

 

(iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement;

 

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.

 

(2) that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(3) to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned Registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned Registrant pursuant to this Registration Statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned Registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

 

(i) any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned Registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

 

(ii) any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned Registrant;

 

(iii) the portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned Registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

 

(iv) any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

 

II-2
 

 

(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

 

(d) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that:

 

(1) for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this Registration Statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this Registration Statement as of the time it was declared effective.

 

(2) for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

The undersigned, EzFill Holdings, Inc., a corporation formed under the laws of the State of Delaware (collectively with its subsidiaries and affiliates, including, without limitation, all entities disclosed or described in the Registration Statement (as hereinafter defined) as being subsidiaries or affiliates of EzFill Holdings, Inc., the “Company”), hereby confirms its agreement (this “Agreement”) with ThinkEquity LLC (hereinafter referred to as “you” (including its correlatives) or the “Representative”) and with the other underwriters named on Schedule 1 hereto for which the Representative is acting as representative (the Representative and such other underwriters being collectively called the “Underwriters” or, individually, an “Underwriter”) as follows:

 

1. Purchase and Sale of Shares.

 

1.1 Firm Shares.

 

1.1.1. Nature and Purchase of Firm Shares.

 

(i) On the basis of the representations and warranties herein contained, but subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Company agrees to issue and sell to the several Underwriters, an aggregate of [●] shares (“Firm Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”).

 

(ii) The Underwriters, severally and not jointly, agree to purchase from the Company the number of Firm Shares set forth opposite their respective names on Schedule 1 attached hereto and made a part hereof at a purchase price of $[●] per share (93.0% of the per Firm Share offering price). The Firm Shares are to be offered initially to the public at the offering price set forth on the cover page of the Prospectus (as defined in Section 2.1.1 hereof).

 

1.1.2. Shares Payment and Delivery.

 

(i) Delivery and payment for the Firm Shares shall be made at 10:00 a.m., Eastern time, on the second (2nd) Business Day following the effective date (the “Effective Date”) of the Registration Statement (as defined in Section 2.1.1 below) (or the third (3rd) Business Day following the Effective Date if the Registration Statement is declared effective after 4:01 p.m., Eastern time) or at such earlier time as shall be agreed upon by the Representative and the Company, at the offices of Loeb & Loeb LLP, 345 Park Avenue, New York NY 10154 (“Representative Counsel”), or at such other place (or remotely by facsimile or other electronic transmission) as shall be agreed upon by the Representative and the Company. The hour and date of delivery and payment for the Firm Shares is called the “Closing Date.”

 

 
 

 

(ii) Payment for the Firm Shares shall be made on the Closing Date by wire transfer in Federal (same day) funds, payable to the order of the Company upon delivery of the certificates (in form and substance satisfactory to the Underwriters) representing the Firm Shares (or through the facilities of the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”)) for the account of the Underwriters. The Firm Shares shall be registered in such name or names and in such authorized denominations as the Representative may request in writing at least two (2) full Business Days prior to the Closing Date. The Company shall not be obligated to sell or deliver the Firm Shares except upon tender of payment by the Representative for all of the Firm Shares. The term “Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday, a Sunday or a legal holiday or a day on which banking institutions are authorized or obligated by law to close in New York, New York.

 

1.2 Over-allotment Option.

 

1.2.1. Option Shares. For the purposes of covering any over-allotments in connection with the distribution and sale of the Firm Shares, the Company hereby grants to the Underwriters an option to purchase up to [●] additional shares of Common Stock, representing fifteen percent (15%) of the Firm Shares sold in the offering, from the Company (the “Over-allotment Option”). Such [●] additional shares of Common Stock, the net proceeds of which will be deposited with the Company’s account, are hereinafter referred to as “Option Shares.” The purchase price to be paid per Option Share shall be equal to the price per Firm Share set forth in Section 1.1.1 hereof. The Firm Shares and the Option Shares are hereinafter referred to together as the “Public Securities.” The offering and sale of the Public Securities is hereinafter referred to as the “Offering.”

 

1.2.2. Exercise of Option. The Over-allotment Option granted pursuant to Section 1.2.1 hereof may be exercised by the Representative as to all (at any time) or any part (from time to time) of the Option Shares within 45 days after the Effective Date. The Underwriters shall not be under any obligation to purchase any Option Shares prior to the exercise of the Over-allotment Option. The Over-allotment Option granted hereby may be exercised by the giving of oral notice to the Company from the Representative, which must be confirmed in writing by overnight mail or facsimile or other electronic transmission setting forth the number of Option Shares to be purchased and the date and time for delivery of and payment for the Option Shares (the “Option Closing Date”), which shall not be later than one (1) full Business Days after the date of the notice or such other time as shall be agreed upon by the Company and the Representative, at the offices of Representative Counsel or at such other place (including remotely by facsimile or other electronic transmission) as shall be agreed upon by the Company and the Representative. If such delivery and payment for the Option Shares does not occur on the Closing Date, the Option Closing Date will be as set forth in the notice. Upon exercise of the Over-allotment Option with respect to all or any portion of the Option Shares, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (i) the Company shall become obligated to sell to the Underwriters the number of Option Shares specified in such notice and (ii) each of the Underwriters, acting severally and not jointly, shall purchase that number of Option Shares as set forth in Schedule 1 opposite the name of such Underwriter.

 

1.2.3. Payment and Delivery. Payment for the Option Shares shall be made on the Option Closing Date by wire transfer in Federal (same day) funds, payable to the order of the Company upon delivery to you of certificates (in form and substance satisfactory to the Underwriters) representing the Option Shares (or through the facilities of DTC) for the account of the Underwriters. The Option Shares shall be registered in such name or names and in such authorized denominations as the Representative may request in writing at least one (1) full Business Day prior to the Option Closing Date. The Company shall not be obligated to sell or deliver the Option Shares except upon tender of payment by the Representative for applicable Option Shares.

1.3 Representative’s Warrants.

 

1.3.1. Purchase Warrants. The Company hereby agrees to issue and sell to the Representative (and/or its designees) on the Closing Date an option (“Representative’s Warrant”) for the purchase of an aggregate of [●] shares of Common Stock, representing 5% of the Public Securities, for an aggregate purchase price of $100.00. In the event that the Representative exercises the Over-allotment Option, the Company agrees to issue and sell to the Representative (and/or its designees) on each Option Closing Date a Representative’s Warrant for the purchase of an aggregate number of shares of Common Stock equal to five percent (5%) of the Option Shares sold on such Option Closing Date. The Representative’s Warrant agreement, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Representative’s Warrant Agreement”), shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, commencing on a date which is one hundred eighty (180) days after the Effective Date and expiring on the five-year anniversary of the Effective Date at an initial exercise price per share of Common Stock of $[●], which is equal to 125% of the initial public offering price of the Firm Shares.

5.3 Contribution.

 

5.3.1. Contribution Rights. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 5 shall for any reason be unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Section 5.1 or 5.2 in respect of any loss, claim, damage or liability, or any action in respect thereof, referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, (i) in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, from the Offering of the Public Securities, or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, with respect to the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, with respect to such Offering shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the Offering of the Public Securities purchased under this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Company, as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus, on the one hand, and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters with respect to the shares of the Common Stock purchased under this Agreement, as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus, on the other hand. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the Underwriters, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 5.3.1 were to be determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, referred to above in this Section 5.3.1 shall be deemed to include, for purposes of this Section 5.3.1, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5.3.1 in no event shall an Underwriter be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by such Underwriter with respect to the Offering of the Public Securities exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

 

5.3.2. Contribution Procedure. Within fifteen (15) days after receipt by any party to this Agreement (or its representative) of notice of the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, such party will, if a claim for contribution in respect thereof is to be made against another party (“contributing party”), notify the contributing party of the commencement thereof, but the failure to so notify the contributing party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any other party other than for contribution hereunder. In case any such action, suit or proceeding is brought against any party, and such party notifies a contributing party or its representative of the commencement thereof within the aforesaid 15 days, the contributing party will be entitled to participate therein with the notifying party and any other contributing party similarly notified. Any such contributing party shall not be liable to any party seeking contribution on account of any settlement of any claim, action or proceeding affected by such party seeking contribution on account of any settlement of any claim, action or proceeding affected by such party seeking contribution without the written consent of such contributing party. The contribution provisions contained in this Section 5.3.2 are intended to supersede, to the extent permitted by law, any right to contribution under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise available. Each Underwriter’s obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 5.3 are several and not joint.

 

6. Default by an Underwriter.

 

6.1 Default Not Exceeding 10% of Firm Shares or Option Shares. If any Underwriter or Underwriters shall default in its or their obligations to purchase the Firm Shares or the Option Shares, if the Over-allotment Option is exercised hereunder, and if the number of the Firm Shares or Option Shares with respect to which such default relates does not exceed in the aggregate 10% of the number of Firm Shares or Option Shares that all Underwriters have agreed to purchase hereunder, then such Firm Shares or Option Shares to which the default relates shall be purchased by the non-defaulting Underwriters in proportion to their respective commitments hereunder.

 

 -28- 

 

 

6.2 Default Exceeding 10% of Firm Shares or Option Shares. In the event that the default addressed in Section 6.1 relates to more than 10% of the Firm Shares or Option Shares, you may in your discretion arrange for yourself or for another party or parties to purchase such Firm Shares or Option Shares to which such default relates on the terms contained herein. If, within one (1) Business Day after such default relating to more than 10% of the Firm Shares or Option Shares, you do not arrange for the purchase of such Firm Shares or Option Shares, then the Company shall be entitled to a further period of one (1) Business Day within which to procure another party or parties satisfactory to you to purchase said Firm Shares or Option Shares on such terms. In the event that neither you nor the Company arrange for the purchase of the Firm Shares or Option Shares to which a default relates as provided in this Section 6, this Agreement will automatically be terminated by you or the Company without liability on the part of the Company (except as provided in Sections 3.9 and 5 hereof) or the several Underwriters (except as provided in Section 5 hereof); provided, however, that if such default occurs with respect to the Option Shares, this Agreement will not terminate as to the Firm Shares; and provided, further, that nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter of its liability, if any, to the other Underwriters and to the Company for damages occasioned by its default hereunder.

 

6.3 Postponement of Closing Date. In the event that the Firm Shares or Option Shares to which the default relates are to be purchased by the non-defaulting Underwriters, or are to be purchased by another party or parties as aforesaid, you or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date or Option Closing Date for a reasonable period, but not in any event exceeding five (5) Business Days, in order to effect whatever changes may thereby be made necessary in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Prospectus or in any other documents and arrangements, and the Company agrees to file promptly any amendment to the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Prospectus that in the opinion of counsel for the Underwriter may thereby be made necessary. The term “Underwriter” as used in this Agreement shall include any party substituted under this Section 6 with like effect as if it had originally been a party to this Agreement with respect to such shares of Common Stock.

 

7. Additional Covenants.

 

7.1 Board Composition and Board Designations.

7.2 Prohibition on Press Releases and Public Announcements. The Company shall not issue press releases or engage in any other publicity, without the Representative’s prior written consent, for a period ending at 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on the first (1st) Business Day following the fortieth (40th) day after the Closing Date, other than normal and customary releases issued in the ordinary course of the Company’s business.

 

7.3 Right of First Refusal. Provided that the Firm Shares are sold in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Representative shall have an irrevocable right of first refusal (the “Right of First Refusal”), for a period of thirty-six (36) months after the date the Offering is completed, to act as sole investment banker, sole book-runner and/or sole and exclusive placement agent, at the Representative’s sole discretion, for each and every future public and private equity and debt offering, including all equity linked financings (each, a “Subject Transaction”), during such thirty-six (36) month period, of the Company, or any successor to or subsidiary of the Company, on terms customary to the Representative for such Subject Transactions. For the avoidance of any doubt, the Representative shall have the sole right to determine whether or not any other broker dealer shall have the right to participated in any such offering and the economic terms of any such participation.

 

 -29- 

 

 

The Company shall notify the Representative of its intention to pursue a Subject Transaction, including the material terms thereof, by providing written notice thereof by registered mail or overnight courier service addressed to the Representative. If the Representative fails to exercise its Right of First Refusal with respect to any Subject Transaction within ten (10) Business Days after the mailing of such written notice, then the Representative shall have no further claim or right with respect to the Subject Transaction. The Representative may elect, in its sole and absolute discretion, not to exercise its Right of First Refusal with respect to any Subject Transaction; provided that any such election by the Representative shall not adversely affect the Representative’s Right of First Refusal with respect to any other Subject Transaction during the thirty-six (36) month period agreed to above.

8.1 Effective Date. This Agreement shall become effective when both the Company and the Representative have executed the same and delivered counterparts of such signatures to the other party.

 

8.2 Termination. The Representative shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time prior to any Closing Date, (i) if any domestic or international event or act or occurrence has materially disrupted, or in your opinion will in the immediate future materially disrupt, general securities markets in the United States; or (ii) if trading on the New York Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC shall have been suspended or materially limited, or minimum or maximum prices for trading shall have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices for securities shall have been required by FINRA or by order of the Commission or any other government authority having jurisdiction; or (iii) if the United States shall have become involved in a new war or an increase in major hostilities; or (iv) if a banking moratorium has been declared by a New York State or federal authority; or (v) if a moratorium on foreign exchange trading has been declared which materially adversely impacts the United States securities markets; or (vi) if the Company shall have sustained a material loss by fire, flood, accident, hurricane, earthquake, theft, sabotage or other calamity or malicious act which, whether or not such loss shall have been insured, will, in your opinion, make it inadvisable to proceed with the delivery of the Firm Shares or Option Shares; or (vii) if the Company is in material breach of any of its representations, warranties or covenants hereunder; or (viii) if the Representative shall have become aware after the date hereof of such a material adverse change in the conditions or prospects of the Company, or such adverse material change in general market conditions as in the Representative’s judgment would make it impracticable to proceed with the offering, sale and/or delivery of the Public Securities or to enforce contracts made by the Underwriters for the sale of the Public Securities.

 

8.3 Expenses. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, except in the case of a default by the Underwriters, pursuant to Section 6.2 above, in the event that this Agreement shall not be carried out for any reason whatsoever, within the time specified herein or any extensions thereof pursuant to the terms herein, the Company shall be obligated to pay to the Underwriters their actual and accountable out-of-pocket expenses related to the transactions contemplated herein then due and payable (including the fees and disbursements of Representative Counsel) up to $300,000, inclusive of the $25,000 advance for accountable expenses previously paid by the Company to the Representative (the “Advance”) and upon demand the Company shall pay the full amount thereof to the Representative on behalf of the Underwriters; provided, however, that such expense cap in no way limits or impairs the indemnification and contribution provisions of this Agreement.

 -30-

Section 2. Exercise.

 

a) Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the registered Holder at the address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company) of a duly executed facsimile copy (or e-mail attachment) of the Notice of Exercise Form annexed hereto. Within two (2) Trading Days following the date of exercise as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver the aggregate Exercise Price for the shares specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank unless the cashless exercise procedure specified in Section 2(c) below is specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise. No ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise form be required. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within five (5) Trading Days of the date the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise Form within two (2) Business Days of receipt of such notice. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

 

b) Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of the Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $_______1, subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise Price”).

 

c) Cashless Exercise. In lieu of exercising this Warrant by delivering the aggregate Exercise Price by wire transfer or cashier’s check, at the election of the Holder this Warrant may also be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive the number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:

 

  (A) = as applicable: (i) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is (1) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a day that is not a Trading Day or (2) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a Trading Day prior to the opening of “regular trading hours” (as defined in Rule 600(b)(64) of Regulation NMS promulgated under the federal securities laws) on such Trading Day, (ii) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is executed during “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day and is delivered within two (2) hours thereafter (including until two (2) hours after the close of “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day) pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof or (iii) the VWAP on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if the date of such Notice of Exercise is a Trading Day and such Notice of Exercise is both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof after the close of “regular trading hours” on such Trading Day;

 

 

1 125% of the public offering price per share of common stock in the offering.

 

 Ex. A-3 

 

 

  (B) = the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and
     
  (X) = the number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.

 

If Warrant Shares are issued in such a “cashless exercise,” the parties acknowledge and agree that in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, the Warrant Shares shall take on the registered characteristics of the Warrants being exercised, and the holding period of the Warrants being exercised may be tacked on to the holding period of the Warrant Shares. The Company agrees not to take any position contrary to this Section 2(c).

 

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, on the Termination Date, this Warrant shall be automatically exercised via cashless exercise pursuant to this Section 2(c).

 

d) Mechanics of Exercise.

 

i. Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. The Company shall cause the Warrant Shares purchased hereunder to be transmitted by its transfer agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Company is then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by Holder, or (B) the Warrant Shares are eligible for resale by the Holder without volume or manner-of-sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144 and, in either case, the Warrant Shares have been sold by the Holder prior to the Warrant Share Delivery Date (as defined below), and otherwise by physical delivery of a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is two (2) Trading Days after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”). If the Warrant Shares can be delivered via DWAC, the transfer agent shall have received from the Company, at the expense of the Company, any legal opinions or other documentation required by it to deliver such Warrant Shares without legend (subject to receipt by the Company of reasonable back up documentation from the Holder, including with respect to affiliate status) and, if applicable and requested by the Company prior to the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the transfer agent shall have received from the Holder a confirmation of sale of the Warrant Shares (provided the requirement of the Holder to provide a confirmation as to the sale of Warrant Shares shall not be applicable to the issuance of unlegended Warrant Shares upon a cashless exercise of this Warrant if the Warrant Shares are then eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144(b)(1)). The Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and Holder or any other person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the date the Warrant has been exercised, with payment to the Company of the Exercise Price (or by cashless exercise, if permitted) and all taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 2(d)(vi) prior to the issuance of such shares, having been paid. If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder the Warrant Shares subject to a Notice of Exercise by the second Trading Day following the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares subject to such exercise (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the fifth Trading Day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after the second Trading Day following such Warrant Share Delivery Date until such Warrant Shares are delivered or Holder rescinds such exercise.

 

 Ex. A-4 

 

 

ii. Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.

 

iii. Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause its transfer agent to deliver to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise; provided, however, that the Holder shall be required to return any Warrant Shares or Common Stock subject to any such rescinded exercise notice concurrently with the return to Holder of the aggregate Exercise Price paid to the Company for such Warrant Shares and the restoration of Holder’s right to acquire such Warrant Shares pursuant to this Warrant (including, issuance of a replacement warrant certificate evidencing such restored right).

 

iv. Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

 Ex. A-5 

 

 

v. No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.

 

vi. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that in the event that Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto.

 Ex. A-6 

 

 

e) Holder’s Exercise Limitations. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(e) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2(e), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Company’s transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(e), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(e) shall continue to apply. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(e) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.

Section 3. Certain Adjustments.

 

a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification. For the purposes of clarification, the Exercise Price of this Warrant will not be adjusted in the event that the Company or any Subsidiary thereof, as applicable, sells or grants any option to purchase, or sell or grant any right to reprice, or otherwise dispose of or issue (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition) any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents, at an effective price per share less than the Exercise Price then in effect.

 

b) [RESERVED]

 

c) Subsequent Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 3(a) above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Common Stock Equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).

 

d) Pro Rata Distributions. During such time as this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend (other than cash dividends) or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of shares or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation). To the extent that this Warrant has not been partially or completely exercised at the time of such Distribution, such portion of the Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until the Holder has exercised this Warrant.

 

 Ex. A-8 

 

 

e) Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable by holders of Common Stock as a result of such Fundamental Transaction for each share of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(e) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the Holder, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.

 

f) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.

 

g) Notice to Holder.

 

i. Adjustment to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

 

 Ex. A-9 

 

 

ii. Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be mailed a notice to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to provide such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided hereunder constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.

 

Section 4. Transfer of Warrant.

 

a) Transferability. Pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(e)(1), neither this Warrant nor any Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, or hypothecated, or be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put, or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of the securities by any person for a period of 180 days immediately following the date of effectiveness or commencement of sales of the offering pursuant to which this Warrant is being issued, except the transfer of any security:

 

i. by operation of law or by reason of reorganization of the Company;

 

ii. to any FINRA member firm participating in the offering and the officers or partners thereof, if all securities so transferred remain subject to the lock-up restriction in this Section 4(a) for the remainder of the time period;

 

iii. if the aggregate amount of securities of the Company held by the Holder or related person do not exceed 1% of the securities being offered;

 

iv. that is beneficially owned on a pro-rata basis by all equity owners of an investment fund, provided that no participating member manages or otherwise directs investments by the fund, and participating members in the aggregate do not own more than 10% of the equity in the fund; or

 

 Ex. A-10 

 

 

v. the exercise or conversion of any security, if all securities received remain subject to the lock-up restriction in this Section 4(a) for the remainder of the time period.

 

Subject to the foregoing restriction, any applicable securities laws and the conditions set forth in Section 4(d), this Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless the Holder has assigned this Warrant in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company within three (3) Trading Days of the date the Holder delivers an assignment form to the Company assigning this Warrant full. The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.

 

b) New Warrants. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the initial issuance date of this Warrant and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.

 

c) Warrant Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.

 

d) Representation by the Holder. The Holder, by the acceptance hereof, represents and warrants that it is acquiring this Warrant and, upon any exercise hereof, will acquire the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, for its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Warrant Shares or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act.

Section 5. Registration Rights.

 

5.1. Demand Registration.

 

5.1.1 Grant of Right. The Company, upon written demand (a “Demand Notice”) of the Holder(s) of at least 51% of the Warrants and/or the underlying Warrant Shares (“Majority Holders”), agrees to register, on one occasion, all or any portion of the Warrant Shares underlying the Warrants (collectively, the “Registrable Securities”). On such occasion, the Company will file a registration statement with the Commission covering the Registrable Securities within sixty (60) days after receipt of a Demand Notice and use its reasonable best efforts to have the registration statement declared effective promptly thereafter, subject to compliance with review by the Commission; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to comply with a Demand Notice if the Company has filed a registration statement with respect to which the Holder is entitled to piggyback registration rights pursuant to Section 5.2 hereof and either: (i) the Holder has elected to participate in the offering covered by such registration statement or (ii) if such registration statement relates to an underwritten primary offering of securities of the Company, until the offering covered by such registration statement has been withdrawn or until thirty (30) days after such offering is consummated. The demand for registration may be made at any time beginning on the Initial Exercise Date and expiring on the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date. The Company covenants and agrees to give written notice of its receipt of any Demand Notice by any Holder(s) to all other registered Holders of the Warrants and/or the Registrable Securities within ten (10) days after the date of the receipt of any such Demand Notice.

 

5.1.2 Terms. The Company shall bear all fees and expenses attendant to the registration of the Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 5.1.1, but the Holders shall pay any and all underwriting commissions and the expenses of any legal counsel selected by the Holders to represent them in connection with the sale of the Registrable Securities. The Company agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to cause the filing required herein to become effective promptly and to qualify or register the Registrable Securities in such States as are reasonably requested by the Holder(s); provided, however, that in no event shall the Company be required to register the Registrable Securities in a State in which such registration would cause: (i) the Company to be obligated to register or license to do business in such State or submit to general service of process in such State, or (ii) the principal shareholders of the Company to be obligated to escrow their shares of capital stock of the Company. The Company shall cause any registration statement filed pursuant to the demand right granted under Section 5.1.1 to remain effective for a period of at least twelve (12) consecutive months after the date that the Holders of the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement are first given the opportunity to sell all of such securities. The Holders shall only use the prospectuses provided by the Company to sell the Warrant Shares covered by such registration statement, and will immediately cease to use any prospectus furnished by the Company if the Company advises the Holder that such prospectus may no longer be used due to a material misstatement or omission. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5.1.2, the Holder shall be entitled to a demand registration under this Section 5.1.2 on only one (1) occasion and such demand registration right shall terminate on the fifth anniversary of the date of the Underwriting Agreement (as defined below) in accordance with FINRA Rules 5110(g)(8)(B) and 5110(g)(8)(C).

 

 Ex. A-12 

 

 

5.2 “Piggy-Back” Registration.

 

5.2.1 Grant of Right. In addition to the demand right of registration described in Section 5.1 hereof, the Holder shall have the right, for a period of no more than two (2) years from the Initial Exercise Date in accordance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(8)(D), to include the Registrable Securities as part of any other registration of securities filed by the Company (other than in connection with a transaction contemplated by Rule 145(a) promulgated under the Securities Act or pursuant to Form S-8 or any equivalent form); provided, however, that if, solely in connection with any primary underwritten public offering for the account of the Company, the managing underwriter(s) thereof shall, in its reasonable discretion, impose a limitation on the number of Shares which may be included in the Registration Statement because, in such underwriter(s)’ judgment, marketing or other factors dictate such limitation is necessary to facilitate public distribution, then the Company shall be obligated to include in such Registration Statement only such limited portion of the Registrable Securities with respect to which the Holder requested inclusion hereunder as the underwriter shall reasonably permit. Any exclusion of Registrable Securities shall be made pro rata among the Holders seeking to include Registrable Securities in proportion to the number of Registrable Securities sought to be included by such Holders; provided, however, that the Company shall not exclude any Registrable Securities unless the Company has first excluded all outstanding securities, the holders of which are not entitled to inclusion of such securities in such Registration Statement or are not entitled to pro rata inclusion with the Registrable Securities.

 

5.2.2 Terms. The Company shall bear all fees and expenses attendant to registering the Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 5.2.1 hereof, but the Holders shall pay any and all underwriting commissions and the expenses of any legal counsel selected by the Holders to represent them in connection with the sale of the Registrable Securities. In the event of such a proposed registration, the Company shall furnish the then Holders of outstanding Registrable Securities with not less than thirty (30) days written notice prior to the proposed date of filing of such registration statement. Such notice to the Holders shall continue to be given for each registration statement filed by the Company during the two (2) year period following the Initial Exercise Date until such time as all of the Registrable Securities have been sold by the Holder. The holders of the Registrable Securities shall exercise the “piggy-back” rights provided for herein by giving written notice within ten (10) days of the receipt of the Company’s notice of its intention to file a registration statement. Except as otherwise provided in this Warrant, there shall be no limit on the number of times the Holder may request registration under this Section 5.2.2; provided, however, that such registration rights shall terminate on the second anniversary of the Initial Exercise Date.

 

5.3 General Terms

 

5.3.1 Indemnification. The Company shall indemnify the Holder(s) of the Registrable Securities to be sold pursuant to any registration statement hereunder and each person, if any, who controls such Holders within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 (a) of the Exchange Act against all loss, claim, damage, expense or liability (including all reasonable attorneys’ fees and other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any claim whatsoever) to which any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, arising from such registration statement but only to the same extent and with the same effect as the provisions pursuant to which the Company has agreed to indemnify the Underwriters contained in Section 5.1 of the Underwriting Agreement between the Underwriters and the Company, dated as of [___], 2024. The Holder(s) of the Registrable Securities to be sold pursuant to such registration statement, and their successors and assigns, shall severally, and not jointly, indemnify the Company, against all loss, claim, damage, expense or liability (including all reasonable attorneys’ fees and other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any claim whatsoever) to which they may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, arising from information furnished by or on behalf of such Holders, or their successors or assigns, in writing, for specific inclusion in such registration statement to the same extent and with the same effect as the provisions contained in Section 5.2 of the Underwriting Agreement pursuant to which the Underwriters have agreed to indemnify the Company.

 

 Ex. A-13 

 

 

5.3.2 Exercise of Warrants. Nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as requiring the Holder(s) to exercise their Warrants prior to or after the initial filing of any registration statement or the effectiveness thereof.

 

5.3.3 Documents Delivered to Holders. The Company shall furnish to each Holder participating in any of the foregoing offerings and to each underwriter of any such offering, if any, a signed counterpart, addressed to such Holder or underwriter, of: (i) an opinion of counsel to the Company, dated the effective date of such registration statement (and, if such registration includes an underwritten public offering, an opinion dated the date of the closing under any underwriting agreement related thereto), and (ii) a “cold comfort” letter dated the effective date of such registration statement (and, if such registration includes an underwritten public offering, a letter dated the date of the closing under the underwriting agreement) signed by the independent registered public accounting firm which has issued a report on the Company’s financial statements included in such registration statement, in each case covering substantially the same matters with respect to such registration statement (and the prospectus included therein) and, in the case of such accountants’ letter, with respect to events subsequent to the date of such financial statements, as are customarily covered in opinions of issuer’s counsel and in accountants’ letters delivered to underwriters in underwritten public offerings of securities. The Company shall also deliver promptly to each Holder participating in the offering requesting the correspondence and memoranda described below and to the managing underwriter, if any, copies of all correspondence between the Commission and the Company, its counsel or auditors and all memoranda relating to discussions with the Commission or its staff with respect to the registration statement and permit each Holder and underwriter to do such investigation, upon reasonable advance notice, with respect to information contained in or omitted from the registration statement as it deems reasonably necessary to comply with applicable securities laws or rules of FINRA. Such investigation shall include access to books, records and properties and opportunities to discuss the business of the Company with its officers and independent auditors, all to such reasonable extent and at such reasonable times as any such Holder shall reasonably request.

 

5.3.4 Underwriting Agreement. The Company shall enter into an underwriting agreement with the managing underwriter(s), if any, selected by any Holders whose Registrable Securities are being registered pursuant to this Section 5, which managing underwriter shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company. Such agreement shall be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company, each Holder and such managing underwriters, and shall contain such representations, warranties and covenants by the Company and such other terms as are customarily contained in agreements of that type used by the managing underwriter. The Holders shall be parties to any underwriting agreement relating to an underwritten sale of their Registrable Securities and may, at their option, require that any or all the representations, warranties and covenants of the Company to or for the benefit of such underwriters shall also be made to and for the benefit of such Holders. Such Holders shall not be required to make any representations or warranties to or agreements with the Company or the underwriters except as they may relate to such Holders, their Warrant Shares and their intended methods of distribution.

 

5.3.5 Documents to be Delivered by Holder(s). Each of the Holder(s) participating in any of the foregoing offerings shall furnish to the Company a completed and executed questionnaire provided by the Company requesting information customarily sought of selling security holders.

5.3.6 Damages. Should the registration or the effectiveness thereof required by Sections 5.1 and 5.2 hereof be delayed by the Company or the Company otherwise fails to comply with such provisions, the Holder(s) shall, in addition to any other legal or other relief available to the Holder(s), be entitled to obtain specific performance or other equitable (including injunctive) relief against the threatened breach of such provisions or the continuation of any such breach, without the necessity of proving actual damages and without the necessity of posting bond or other security.

The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.

The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant.

 Ex. A-15 

 

 

Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.

 

Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.

 

e) Jurisdiction. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the underwriting agreement, dated [___], 2024, by and between the Company and ThinkEquity LLC, as representative of the underwriters set forth therein (the “Underwriting Agreement”).

 

f) Restrictions. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, and the Holder does not utilize cashless exercise, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.

 

g) Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies. Without limiting any other provision of this Warrant or the Underwriting Agreement, if the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.

 

h) Notices. Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder by the Company shall be delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of the Underwriting Agreement.

 

i) Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

 

j) Remedies. The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.

 

 Ex. A-16 

 

 

k) Successors and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder.

m) Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.

ThinkEquity LLC

17 State Street, 41st Floor

New York, NY 10004

 

As Representative of the several Underwriters named on Schedule 1 to the Underwriting Agreement referenced below

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

The undersigned understands that ThinkEquity LLC (the “Representative”), proposes to enter into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with EzFill Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), providing for the public offering (the “Public Offering”) of shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Common Shares”).

 

To induce the Representative to continue its efforts in connection with the Public Offering, the undersigned hereby agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Representative, the undersigned will not, during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending 180 days (in the event the undersigned is a director or officer of the Company) or 90 days (in all other cases) after the date of the Underwriting Agreement relating to the Public Offering (the “Lock-Up Period”), (1) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, grant, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Common Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Shares, whether now owned or hereafter acquired by the undersigned or with respect to which the undersigned has or hereafter acquires the power of disposition (collectively, the “Lock-Up Securities”); (2) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Lock-Up Securities, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of Lock-Up Securities, in cash or otherwise; (3) make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to the registration of any Lock-Up Securities; or (4) publicly disclose the intention to make any offer, sale, pledge or disposition, or to enter into any transaction, swap, hedge or other arrangement relating to any Lock-Up Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to the conditions below, the undersigned may transfer Lock-Up Securities without the prior written consent of the Representative in connection with (a) transactions relating to Lock-Up Securities acquired in open market transactions after the completion of the Public Offering; provided that no filing under Section 13 or Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or other public announcement shall be required or shall be voluntarily made in connection with subsequent sales of Lock-Up Securities acquired in such open market transactions; (b) transfers of Lock-Up Securities as a bona fide gift, by will or intestacy or to a family member or trust for the benefit of the undersigned or a family member (for purposes of this lock-up agreement, “family member” means any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin); (c) transfers of Lock-Up Securities to a charity or educational institution; (d) if the undersigned is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other business entity, (i) any transfers of Lock-Up Securities to another corporation, partnership or other business entity that controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the undersigned or (ii) distributions of Lock-Up Securities to members, partners, stockholders, subsidiaries or affiliates (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) of the undersigned; (e) if the undersigned is a trust, to a trustee or beneficiary of the trust; provided that in the case of any transfer pursuant to the foregoing clauses (b), (c) (d) or (e), (i) any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value, (ii) each transferee shall sign and deliver to the Representative a lock-up agreement substantially in the form of this lock-up agreement and (iii) no filing under Section 13 or Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act or other public announcement shall be required or shall be voluntarily made; (f) the receipt by the undersigned from the Company of Common Shares upon the vesting of restricted stock awards or stock units or upon the exercise of options to purchase the Company’s Common Shares issued under an equity incentive plan of the Company or an employment arrangement described in the Pricing Prospectus (as defined in the Underwriting Agreement) (the “Plan Shares”) or the transfer of Common Shares or any securities convertible into Common Shares to the Company upon a vesting event of the Company’s securities or upon the exercise of options to purchase the Company’s securities, in each case on a “cashless” or “net exercise” basis or to cover tax obligations of the undersigned in connection with such vesting or exercise, but only to the extent such right expires during the Lock-up Period, provided that no filing under Section 13 or Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act or other public announcement shall be required or shall be voluntarily made within 180 days after the date of the Underwriting Agreement, and after such 180th day, if the undersigned is required to file a report under Section 13 or Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of Common Shares during the Lock-Up Period, the undersigned shall include a statement in such schedule or report to the effect that the purpose of such transfer was to cover tax withholding obligations of the undersigned in connection with such vesting or exercise and, provided further, that the Plan Shares shall be subject to the terms of this lock-up agreement; (g) the transfer of Lock-Up Securities pursuant to agreements described in the Pricing Prospectus under which the Company has the option to repurchase such securities or a right of first refusal with respect to the transfer of such securities, provided that if the undersigned is required to file a report under Section 13 or Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of Common Shares during the Lock-Up Period, the undersigned shall include a statement in such schedule or report describing the purpose of the transaction; (h) the establishment of a trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act for the transfer of Lock-Up Securities, provided that (i) such plan does not provide for the transfer of Lock-Up Securities during the Lock-Up Period and (ii) to the extent a public announcement or filing under the Exchange Act, if any, is required of or voluntarily made by or on behalf of the undersigned or the Company regarding the establishment of such plan, such public announcement or filing shall include a statement to the effect that no transfer of Lock-Up Securities may be made under such plan during the Lock-Up Period; (i) the transfer of Lock-Up Securities that occurs by operation of law, such as pursuant to a qualified domestic order or in connection with a divorce settlement, provided that the transferee agrees to sign and deliver a lock-up agreement substantially in the form of this lock-up agreement for the balance of the Lock-Up Period, and provided further, that any filing under Section 13 or Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act that is required to be made during the Lock-Up Period as a result of such transfer shall include a statement that such transfer has occurred by operation of law; and (j) the transfer of Lock-Up Securities pursuant to a bona fide third party tender offer, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction made to all holders of the Common Shares involving a change of control (as defined below) of the Company after the closing of the Public Offering and approved by the Company’s board of directors; provided that in the event that the tender offer, merger, consolidation or other such transaction is not completed, the Lock-Up Securities owned by the undersigned shall remain subject to the restrictions contained in this lock-up agreement. For purposes of clause (k) above, “change of control” shall mean the consummation of any bona fide third party tender offer, merger, amalgamation, consolidation or other similar transaction the result of which is that any “person” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), or group of persons, becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 of the Exchange Act) of a majority of total voting power of the voting stock of the Company. The undersigned also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of the undersigned’s Lock-Up Securities except in compliance with this lock-up agreement.

 

 Ex. B-1 

 

 

The undersigned agrees that, prior to engaging in any transaction or taking any other action that is subject to the terms of this lock-up agreement during the period from the date hereof to and including the 34th day following the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, the undersigned will give notice thereof to the Company and will not consummate any such transaction or take any such action unless it has received written confirmation from the Company that the Lock-Up Period has expired.

 

If the undersigned is an officer or director of the Company, (i) the undersigned agrees that the foregoing restrictions shall be equally applicable to any issuer-directed or “friends and family” Securities that the undersigned may purchase in the Public Offering; (ii) the Representative agrees that, at least three (3) business days before the effective date of any release or waiver of the foregoing restrictions in connection with a transfer of Lock-Up Securities, the Representative will notify the Company of the impending release or waiver; and (iii) the Company has agreed in the Underwriting Agreement to announce the impending release or waiver by press release through a major news service at least two (2) business days before the effective date of the release or waiver. Any release or waiver granted by the Representative hereunder to any such officer or director shall only be effective two (2) business days after the publication date of such press release. The provisions of this paragraph will not apply if (a) the release or waiver is effected solely to permit a transfer of Lock-Up Securities not for consideration and (b) the transferee has agreed in writing to be bound by the same terms described in this lock-up agreement to the extent and for the duration that such terms remain in effect at the time of such transfer.

 

The undersigned understands that the Company and the Representative are relying upon this lock-up agreement in proceeding toward consummation of the Public Offering. The undersigned further understands that this lock-up agreement is irrevocable and shall be binding upon the undersigned’s heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns.

 

The undersigned understands that, if the Underwriting Agreement is not executed by June 30, 2024, or if the Underwriting Agreement (other than the provisions thereof which survive termination) shall terminate or be terminated prior to payment for and delivery of the Common Shares to be sold thereunder, then this lock-up agreement shall be void and of no further force or effect.

 

 Ex. B-2 

 

 

Whether or not the Public Offering actually occurs depends on a number of factors, including market conditions. Any Public Offering will only be made pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement, the terms of which are subject to negotiation between the Company and the Representative.

4. Certain Provisions Regarding Assignments.

Article III PURCHASE PRICE

 

1. Purchase Price. The purchase price for the Acquired Assets (the “Purchase Price”) will be an amount equal to $2,000,000.00.

 

2. Payment of Purchase Price. On or before December 2, 2024, Buyer will pay to Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Seller, an amount equal to $1,250,000. Additionally, on the Closing Date Buyer will issue to Seller $500,000 in the form of Buyer’s Common Stock. The Common Stock will be issued based on the Nasdaq Official Closing Price for Seller’s Common Stock on the last trading day prior to the Closing Date. At the Closing, Buyer will provide $250,000 in the form of a promissory note paid after six (6) months but within nine (9) months of the Closing Date.

 

3. Closing Statement. Within thirty (30) days after the Closing, Buyer will prepare (or cause to be prepared), issue and deliver to Seller a statement, the “Closing Statement”. Within the fifteen (15) day period after delivery by Buyer of the Closing Statement, Seller will, in a written notice to Buyer, either accept the Closing Statement, or, in the event that Seller believes that the Closing Statement is inaccurate, describe in reasonable detail any proposed adjustments to the Closing Statement which Seller believes should be made and the basis therefor. If Buyer has not received such notice of proposed adjustments within such fifteen (15) day period, the Closing Statement will be deemed to have been accepted and agreed to by Seller in the form in which such Closing Statement is delivered by Buyer and will be final and binding on the Parties. Buyer and Seller will negotiate in good faith to resolve any dispute over Buyer’s proposed Closing Statement, provided that if any such dispute is not resolved within fifteen (15) days following receipt by Seller of the proposed adjustments, Buyer and Seller jointly will select (or, if Buyer and Seller are unable to agree, the American Arbitration Association will select) an independent accounting firm which has not had a material relationship with Buyer, Seller or any of their respective Affiliates within two (2) years preceding such selection (such firm, the “Accounting Firm”) to resolve by arbitration any remaining dispute over Seller’s Closing Statement. The Accounting Firm will resolve the items in dispute and render a written report on the resolved disputed items (and only on those disputed items) within thirty (30) days after the date on which they are engaged or as soon thereafter as possible. In resolving any disputed item, the Accounting Firm may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by Buyer or Seller or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by Buyer or Seller. The resolution of the dispute by the Accounting Firm will be final and binding upon the Parties except in the case of fraud or manifest clerical error, and judgment may be entered on the award. The cost of the services of the Accounting Firm will be allocated by the Accounting Firm between Buyer and Seller in the same proportion that the aggregate amount of such resolved disputed items so submitted to the Accounting Firm that is unsuccessfully disputed by each such Party (as finally determined by the Accounting Firm) bears to the total amount of such resolved disputed items so submitted.

 

4. Allocation of Purchase Price. Within ninety (90) days of the Closing Date, Buyer will provide Seller with a schedule (the “Allocation Schedule”) allocating the Purchase Price among the Acquired Assets in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code. If Seller fails to object to the Allocation Schedule within fifteen (15) days of Seller’s receipt of the Allocation Schedule, then Buyer and Seller agree to allocate the Purchase Price among the Acquired Assets as set forth on the Allocation Schedule. If Seller objects in writing to the Allocation Schedule within fifteen (15) days of Seller’s receipt of the Allocation Schedule, then the Parties will attempt to agree on the allocation of the Purchase Price among the Acquired Assets. If Buyer and Seller fail to agree on the allocation of the Purchase Price, either Party may file an IRS Form 8594 reflecting an allocation of the Purchase Price as determined by such Party in its discretion. Any adjustments to the Purchase Price pursuant to this Agreement will be allocated in a manner consistent with the final allocation of the Purchase Price.

In the event Seller fails to pay any bona fide Pre-Closing Payable (including any interest penalties, late fees or other charges thereon) within sixty (60) days after the Penalty Date (other than in the event of a bona fide good faith dispute as described above), upon sixty (60) days prior written notice to Seller, if Buyer reasonably believes that the ongoing failure to pay such bona fide Pre-Closing Payables is reasonably likely to result in damages to the operation of the Business, then Buyer will have the right to pay such bona fide Pre-Closing Payable on behalf of Seller (including any interest penalties, late fees or other charges thereon) and Buyer will be entitled to repayment by Seller.

 

After the Closing Date, Buyer will promptly forward to Seller any payments relating to Pre-Closing Receivables. Promptly upon receipt, Buyer will pay all such bona fide Pre-Closing Receivables to Seller (it being understood that where any such Pre-Closing Receivables is the subject of a bona fide good faith dispute between Seller and Buyer, Buyer may delay payment of such Pre-Closing Receivable until such dispute is resolved).

 

6. Use of Name. After the Closing, Seller will maintain all rights and use of the name “Yoshi” or “Yoshi Mobility”. Buyer agrees that they will not commercially use the name “Yoshi” or Yoshi Mobility” or any derivatives thereof or any trademarks or service marks associated therewith. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Seller would suffer irreparable injury, which could not be fairly remedied by money damages, in the event of a breach by Buyer of the provisions of this Section and that Seller will be entitled to an injunction restraining Buyer from any breach thereof.

Article VIII INDEMNIFICATION

 

1. Indemnification of Buyer. Subject to the limitations and other provisions of this Article VIII, Seller, jointly and severally, will indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its Affiliates (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Losses incurred or suffered by the Buyer Indemnified Parties arising out of, relating to or resulting from any of the following:

 

(a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty set forth in Article V;

 

(b) the nonfulfillment, nonperformance or other breach of any covenant or agreement of Seller contained in this Agreement; and

 

(c) any arrangements or agreements made or alleged to have been made by Seller with any broker, finder or other agent in connection with the Transactions.

 

2. Indemnification of Seller. Subject to the limitations and other provisions of this Article VIII, Buyer will indemnify and hold harmless Seller and the Seller’s respective Affiliates (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Losses incurred or suffered by the Seller Indemnified Parties arising out of, relating to or resulting from any of the following:

 

(a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty set forth in Article VI;

 

(b) the nonfulfillment, nonperformance or other breach of any covenant or agreement of Buyer contained in this Agreement;

 

(c) any arrangements or agreements made or alleged to have been made by Buyer with any broker, finder or other agent in connection with the Transactions; and

 

(d) the ownership and operation of the Acquired Assets by Buyer after the Closing Date but excluding Liabilities to the extent arising out of or relating to circumstances forming the basis of a claim for indemnification against Seller pursuant to Section 8.1.

 

3. Claim Procedure. A Party entitled to indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnified Party”) will promptly give written notice (the “Claim Notice”) to the Party obligated to provide indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party”) after (i) becoming aware of a Loss for which the Indemnified Party intends to seek indemnification, or (ii) receipt by the Indemnified Party of notice of any claim or the commencement of any Proceeding against it by a Person other than an Indemnified Party (a “Third Party Claim”) which may result in a Loss for which the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder. The Claim Notice will describe the Loss and/or the asserted Liability in reasonable detail, and will indicate the amount (estimated, if necessary) of the Loss and/or asserted Liability that has been or may be suffered by the Indemnified Party. Except as provided in Section 8.4 below, the failure to provide a Claim Notice will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any Liability that it may have to any Indemnified Party, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party demonstrates that the defense of such Third Party Claim is prejudiced by the Indemnified Party’s failure to give such Claim Notice.

 

(a) Within fifteen (15) days after receipt of a Claim Notice relating to a claim other than a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party will deliver to the Indemnified Party a written response in which the Indemnifying Party will either: (i) agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive all of the Losses at issue in the Claim Notice; or (ii) dispute the Indemnified Party’s entitlement to indemnification by delivering to the Indemnified Party a written notice (an “Objection Notice”) setting forth in reasonable detail each disputed item, the basis for each such disputed item and certifying that all such disputed items are being disputed in good faith. If the Indemnifying Party fails to take either of the foregoing actions within fifteen (15) days after delivery of the Claim Notice, then the Indemnifying Party will be deemed to have irrevocably accepted the Claim Notice and the Indemnifying Party will be deemed to have irrevocably agreed to pay the Losses at issue in the Claim Notice.

 

17
 

 

(b) If the Indemnifying Party delivers an Objection Notice to the Indemnified Party within fifteen (15) days after delivery of the Claim Notice, then the dispute may be resolved by any legally available means consistent with the provisions of Section 9.10. Third Party Claims. Any Indemnifying Party will have the right to contest, and defend the Indemnified Party against, any Third Party Claim with counsel of the Indemnifying Party’s choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party so long as the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party in writing within fifteen (15) days after the Indemnified Party has given a Claim Notice that, subject to the limits set forth in this Article VIII, the Indemnifying Party will indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against the Losses the Indemnified Party may suffer with respect to the Third Party Claim.

 

(c) So long as the Indemnifying Party is conducting the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 8.4(a): (i) the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim, (ii) the Indemnified Party will not consent to the entry of any Governmental Order or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (not to be withheld, delayed or conditioned unreasonably), and (iii) the Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of any Governmental Order or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be withheld, delayed or conditioned unreasonably).

 

(d) In the event the Indemnifying Party does not conduct the defense in accordance with Section 8.4(a), the Indemnified Party may defend against the Third Party Claim in any manner it reasonably may deem appropriate; provided, however, that (i) the Indemnifying Party may participate in such defense at its own expense, and (ii) the Indemnified Party will not consent to the entry of any Governmental Order or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (not to be withheld, delayed or conditioned unreasonably).

 

4. Survival. All representations and warranties contained in this Agreement will survive the consummation of the Transactions for a period of two (2) years from the Closing Date, except that (a) the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 5.1(a), 5.1(b), 5.2(a), 5.2(b), 5.10(a), 6.1 and 6.2 will survive the consummation of the Transactions indefinitely and (b) the representations and warranties contained in Section 5.6 will expire sixty (60) days after the end of the relevant statute of limitations (taking into account any tolling periods and other extensions). The survival period of each representation and warranty as provided in this Section 8.5 is hereinafter referred to as the “Indemnification Period.” No Party will have any Liability with respect to claims first asserted in connection with any representation or warranty after expiration of the Indemnification Period. Covenants contemplating or involving actions to be taken, or obligations in effect, after the Closing, will survive the Closing and will continue in full force and effect after the Closing in accordance with their terms. If an Indemnified Party delivers to an Indemnifying Party, before expiration of the Indemnification Period, a Claim Notice based upon a breach of any such representation or warranty, then the applicable representation or warranty will survive until, but only for purposes of, the resolution of the matter covered by such notice.

 

18
 

 

5. Limitations on Liability. The indemnification contemplated by Sections 8.1 and 8.2 will be subject to the following limitations and conditions: Seller will not be subject to any Liability for indemnification under Section 8.1(a) unless and until the aggregate Losses with respect to claims for indemnification under Section 8.1(a) exceed an amount equal to $10,000 (the “Threshold Amount”), at which point Seller will be subject to Liability for indemnification under Section 8.1(a) for all such Losses; provided, however, the Threshold Amount will not be applicable with respect to claims for indemnification for any inaccuracy in or breach of the representations and warranties contained in Section 5.1(a), 5.1(b), 5.2(a), 5.2(b), 5.6 and 5.10(a) (the “Seller Core Representations”); Buyer will not be subject to any Liability for indemnification under Section 8.2(a) unless and until the aggregate Losses with respect to claims for indemnification under Section 8.2(a) exceed an amount equal to the Threshold Amount, at which point Buyer will be subject to Liability for indemnification under Section 8.2(a) for all such Losses; provided, however, the Threshold Amount will not be applicable with respect to claims for indemnification for any inaccuracy in or breach of the representations and warranties contained in Section 6.1 and 6.2 (the “Buyer Core Representations”) ;no Party will be obligated to pay for any claims for indemnification made under this Agreement in an aggregate amount in excess of ten percent (10%) of the Base Purchase Price; provided, however, the limitation set forth in this Section 8.6(c) will not apply to Losses arising out of or based on (i) fraud or intentional misrepresentation, (ii) indemnification claims based on any inaccuracy in or breach of the Seller Core Representations or the Buyer Core Representations, as the case may be, or (iii) indemnification claims based on Sections 8.1(b), 8.1(c), 8.1(d), 8.2(b) or 8.2(c);

 

(a) each Party’s sole and exclusive remedy for any breach of this Agreement by any other Party will be as provided in this Article VIII; provided, however, nothing in this Agreement will be deemed to prohibit or limit (i) any Party’s right at any time, on or after the Closing, to seek or obtain recovery for Losses, or to limit any Party’s remedies, resulting from fraud or an intentional misrepresentation or (ii) Buyer’s right to specific performance or injunctive relief in the event of a breach or threatened breach of Section 7.6;

 

(b) in no event will any Party be entitled to recover or make a claim for (i) consequential, special or indirect damages that are remote or speculative damages and not the natural, probable and reasonably foreseeable consequence of the event that gave rise thereto or the matter for which indemnification is sought hereunder, or (ii) punitive damages, other than, in either case (i) or (ii), a claim for indemnification for such damages that arise from a Third Party Claim; and

 

(c) in the event any Losses related to a claim by a Party is covered by third party insurance, such Party agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to seek recovery from such third party insurance and no Party will be entitled to recover from another Party (and will refund amounts received up to the amount of indemnification actually received) with respect to the Losses to the extent that such Party received any insurance payment under such third party insurance with respect to such Losses (net of any deductible or reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in obtained such insurance proceeds).

 

6. Knowledge. The right to indemnification based upon the representations and warranties of either Party in this Agreement will not be affected by any Knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) by the other Party before the execution and delivery of this Agreement with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of any such representation or warranty.
