On April 7, 2025, XCF Global Capital, Inc. (the “Company”) was notified by Turner, Stone & Company, L.L.P. (“Turner Stone”) of its decision to resign as the Company’s independent registered accounting firm, effective as of such date. In addition, on April 7, 2025, New Rise Renewables, LLC (“New Rise”), which had separately engaged Turner Stone prior to the completion of New Rise’s acquisition by the Company, was notified by Turner Stone of its decision to resign as New Rise’s independent registered accounting firm, effective as of such date.

The report of Turner Stone on (i) the Company’s financial statements for the period February 9, 2023 (inception) to December 31, 2023 and (ii) New Rise’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, except that (A) Turner Stone’s audit report on the Company’s financial statements for the period February 9, 2023 (inception) to December 31, 2023 included an explanatory paragraph expressing an uncertainty about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and (B) Turner Stone’s audit report on New Rise’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 included an explanatory paragraph expressing an uncertainty about New Rise’s ability to continue as a going concern. Turner Stone did not issue a report on the financial statements of the Company or on the financial statements of New Rise for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

During (i) the period February 9, 2023 (inception) to December 31, 2023 and the subsequent interim period through the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, with respect to the Company, and (ii) the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 and the subsequent interim period through the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, with respect to New Rise, there were no (A) disagreements (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and related instructions) with Turner Stone on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Turner Stone, would have caused Turner Stone to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports, or (B) reportable events (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K and related instructions), except as disclosed in the Form S-4 Registration Statement of the Company (as co-registrant) with respect to the Company’s and New Rise’s material weaknesses in each of their internal controls.
