~~SPECIAL~~EXPLANATORY NOTE ~~REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS~~

This comprehensive annual report on Form 10-K (the “Super 10-K”) includes the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024 and 2023. The Company became delinquent in its filings primarily due to the unexpected retirement and subsequent medical disability of key personnel at its financial advisory firm. This significantly impacted the continuity and capacity of our financial oversight and reporting functions, resulting in delays in the preparation and filing of our financial reports for the fiscal year ended 2023. During the course of preparing our financial statements, we identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. These deficiencies required us to undertake a comprehensive review and remediation process, which delayed the completion of our financial statements and related disclosures. Since the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023 until the date of this filing, the Company has not maintained financial reporting compliance. This Super 10-K contains all required information and disclosures to shareholders that each quarterly and annual report would normally have been provided had such quarterly and annual report had been filed timely. In the interest of complete disclosure, the Company has included current information in this annual report for all material events and developments that have taken place since December 31, 2023 through the filing date of this annual report.

We do not intend to file a separate amended Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, or Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2024, June 30, 2024 and September 30, 2024 or Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q/A for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2023, June 30, 2023, or September 30, 2023. The financial statements presented for each quarter as included in Item 8. Financial Statements.

Investors should rely only on the financial information and other disclosures, including the adjusted or restated financial information, included in this Form 10-K, as applicable, and should not rely on any previously furnished or filed reports, earnings releases, investor presentations, or similar communications, regarding these periods.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains both historical statements and statements that are forward-looking in nature. Historical statements are based on events that have already happened. Certain of these historical events provide some basis to our management, with which assumptions are made relating to events that are reasonably expected to happen in the future. Management also relies on information and assumptions provided by certain third- party operators of our projects as well as assumptions made with the information currently available to predict future events. These future event predictions, or forward-looking statements, include (but are not limited to) statements related to the uncertainty of the quantity or quality of ore or tailings grades, the fluctuations in the market price of such reserves, as well as gold, silver and other precious minerals, general trends in our operations or financial results, plans, expectations, estimates and beliefs. You can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “could,” “should,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “continue,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “predict,” “potential” and similar expressions and their variants. These forward-looking statements reflect our judgment as of the date of this Annual Report with respect to future events, the outcome of which is subject to risks, which may have a significant impact on our business, operating results and/or financial condition. Readers are cautioned that these forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results or outcomes may vary materially from those described herein. We undertake no obligation to update forward-looking statements. The risks identified in Item 1A, among others, may impact forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report.

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Business Overview

General

American Clean Resources Group, Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our,” “ACRG” or the “Company”) is an exploration stage company having offices in Lakewood, Colorado and, through its subsidiaries, a property in Tonopah, Nevada. Our business plan is to purchase equipment and build a facility on our Tonopah property to serve as a permitted custom processing toll milling facility (which includes an analytical lab, pyrometallurgical plant, and hydrometallurgical recovery plant).

The Company plans to perform permitted custom processing toll milling, which is a process whereby mined material is crushed and ground into fine particles to ease the extraction of any precious minerals contained therein, such as minerals in the gold, silver, and platinum metal groups. Custom milling and refining can include many different processes that are designed specifically for each ore load and to maximize the extraction of precious metals from carbon or concentrates. These toll-processing services also distill, dry, mix, or mill chemicals and bulk materials on a contractual basis and provide a chemical production outsourcing option for industrial companies, which lack the expertise, capacity, or regulatory permits for in-house production.

We are required to obtain several permits before we can begin construction of a small-scale mineral processing facility to conduct permitted processing toll milling activities and construction of the required additional buildings for us to commence operations.

Any reference herein to “ACRG” “the Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us” is intended to mean American Clean Resources Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and all of our subsidiaries unless otherwise indicated.

Corporate History

The Company was incorporated in the State of Colorado on July 10, 1985, as Princeton Acquisitions, Inc. On December 7, 2009, the Company changed its name to Standard Gold, Inc. Effective March 5, 2013, the Company moved its domicile from Colorado to Nevada and changed its name from Standard Gold, Inc. to Standard Gold Holdings, Inc. In 2013, the Company changed its name to Standard Metals Processing, Inc., and coincident with announcing its plans to acquire 80.1% of Sustainable Metals Solutions, LLC and its subsidiaries (the “SMS Group” or “SMS”) during 2022, changed its name to American Clean Resources Group, Inc. to more accurately reflect the business plans contemplated by the Company, and relocated its administrative offices into those adjacent to Granite Peak Resources, LLC (“GPR”), an ACRG affiliate. (see “Recent Actions” below for further information regarding the SMS Group).

On March 15, 2011, we closed a series of transactions, whereby we acquired certain assets of Shea Mining & Milling, LLC (“Shea Mining”), which assets include land, buildings, a dormant milling facility, abandoned milling equipment, water permits, mine tailings, mine dumps and the assignment of a note payable, a lease and a contract agreement with permits. We completed the Shea Exchange Agreement to acquire the Shea assets to develop a permitted custom processing toll milling of precious minerals business in Tonopah, Nevada. Toll milling is a process whereby mined material is crushed and ground into fine particles to ease the extraction of any precious minerals contained therein, such as gold, silver, and platinum group metals. Custom milling and refining can include many different processes to extract precious metals from carbon or concentrates. These toll-processing services also distil, dry, mix, or mill chemicals and bulk materials on a contractual basis and provide a chemical production outsourcing option for industrial companies which lack the expertise, capacity, or regulatory permits for in-house production. The land encompasses 1,186 deeded acres, one of the largest private land holdings in Esmeralda County, Nevada. Approximately 334 acres of this land has an estimated 2.2 million tons of tailings known as the Millers Tailings from the historic gold rush of Goldfield and Tonopah, Nevada sitting on it.

Subsidiaries

The Company has ~~one~~two wholly owned subsidiary, Aurielle Enterprises, Inc. (“AE”), a Nevada corporation. and SWIS, LLC (“SWIS”), a Kentucky limited liability corporation.. AE has two wholly owned subsidiaries, Tonopah Resources, Inc., (“TR”) a Nevada corporation and Tonopah Custom Processing, Inc., (“TCP”) a Nevada corporation.

Water Pollution Control Permit with Nevada Department of Environmental Protection

Through TCP, a Water Pollution Control Permit (“WPCP”) Application was filed with the Nevada Department of Environmental Protection (“NDEP”) Bureau of Mines and Mining Reclamation (“BMMR”) for the approval of the permits necessary for a small-scale mineral processing facility planned for the Tonopah property. The permit process is currently on hold, the Company will reactivate such application when it is closer to facilitating mineral processing. The plant will perform laboratory testing, pilot testing, and custom processing of precious metal ores and concentrates from mining industry clients. Processing of ore materials will employ standard mineral processing techniques including gravity concentration, froth flotation and chemical leaching and carbon stripping.

The WPCP must be approved prior to commencing the planned construction of our processing plant in Tonopah, Nevada. We are preparing for construction of our planned 21,875 square foot processing plant, cleaning and preparing the property, and refurbishing a trailer that will act as our construction office.

In connection with our WPCP application, NDEP suggested that we take the following actions: (i) retain a Nevada Certified Environmental Manager (“CEM”), (ii) perform Meteoric Profile II water testing on ground water directly below the mill as well as surrounding wells located off site, and (iii) determine baseline values of water using the Meteoric Profile II results. NDEP regulations require that the Company delay any new construction planned for “metal extraction” until after the permits are in place.

Survey

Advanced Surveying & Professional Services, a Professional Land Surveyor (“PLS”), completed surveys and testing of the Tonopah property required for the application of our required permits. After completion of the survey, it was determined the property is 1,186 acres. The scope of work the PLS completed includes: (i) setting a total of 19 permanent monuments at angle points along lines, (ii) setting eight permanent monuments locating US Hwy 95, (iii) recording a professional map indicating longitude and latitude for all corners, and (iv) providing a digital map accessible in Auto Cad software.

Site Preparation

We have completed the initial grading of specific designated areas on the 40 undisturbed acres of land including clearing all vegetation, removing of all scrap metal, and the excavation of the building pad for the preparation of the new 21,875 square foot processing plant and have completed the removal of all the extra and unnecessary materials and old equipment that has accumulated on the land.

Toll Milling

Toll milling is a process whereby mined material is crushed and ground into fine particles to ease the extraction of any precious minerals contained therein, such as minerals in the gold, silver and platinum metal groups. Custom milling and refining that are designed specifically for each ore load can include many different processes to maximize the extraction of precious metals from ore, carbon, or concentrates.

Procedure

Ore will be sent to our facility at the responsibility and cost of the customer. The Company will take a sample of the ore through a specific ore sampling procedure. The Company’s metallurgist will test the sample on site. To obtain a quantitative determination of the amount of a given substance in a particular sample, the Company can perform wet methods and dry methods. In the wet method, the sample is dissolved in a reagent, like acid, until the purified metal is separated out. In the dry method, the sample is mixed with a flux (a substance such as borax or silica that helps lower the melting temperature) and then heated so that the impurities in the metal fuse with the flux, leaving the purified metal as residue.

Toll Milling Business

Given the probable significant gold and silver tailing resources located on the Millers property, the re-establishment of the currently dormant milling operation presents a unique for ACRG to establish a large US based milling operation. Once operational the milling operation will produce low carbon emission gold and silver that will be made available to US companies who rely on these metals in their manufacturing processes and who seek a NetZero production footprint, given that the tailings have already been mined and transported to the Millers location.

Process

Toll Milling – Procedure

Ore is sent to our facility at the responsibility and cost of the customer. The Company will take a sample of the ore through a specific ore sampling procedure. The Company’s metallurgist will test the sample on site. To obtain a quantitative determination of the amount of a given substance in a particular sample, the Company can perform wet methods and dry methods. In the wet method, the sample is dissolved in a reagent, like acid, until the purified metal is separated out. In the dry method, the sample is mixed with a flux (a substance such as borax or silica that helps lower the melting temperature) and then heated so that the impurities in the metal fuse with the flux, leaving the purified metal as residue.

If it is determined that the sample is approved for processing, the customer and the Company will then agree upon a value of the metal grade per ton. If there is any disagreement on the value, a third-party referee determines the value by testing the sample. The Company charges either a flat fee per ton of the ore processed or a percentage of the precious metals extracted during processing, or a combination of both based on the amount of work that is performed.

There are various methods of extraction. The Company determines which method to use based upon the sample sent to the Company. In most situations, a series of tests will be performed on a bulk sample ranging in size from 250 to 1,000 pounds. A metallurgist will determine the best process or processes to use for the extraction based on several factors. These include the composition of the host rock, mineralization of the host rock, whether or not it is an oxide or sulfide ore body, and the particle size of the precious metal. After the metallurgist reviews these characteristics, the Company will run ore on a gold table and assays the concentrates, middlings, and tails. An assay is an investigative procedure for qualitatively assessing or quantitatively measuring the presence, or amount of, precious metals in ore. If there is too much gold in the middling or tails, the size of the grind is adjusted to increase yield or if there is not enough gold in the middlings or tails the Company grinds the material to a finer mesh.

Some of our miner customers will be able to take their tailings (the material left over after the desired minerals have been extracted) from the material they deposited with the Company and put it back in the exact same mines those particular tailings came from. This eliminates the need for the Company to dispose of those tailings.

Toll Milling – Concentrate/Leach Circuit

Concentration is the separation of precious minerals from other materials by utilizing different properties of the minerals to be separated including density, magnetic or electric and physiochemical. The Company will attempt to create a “concentrate” of minerals to reduce the size of each ton processed. The Company may also receive concentrates from customers, especially those where transport of tons of raw ore is not feasible.

The leaching process uses chemicals to extract the metals from the solid materials (concentrates) and bring them into a solution. Once the metals are in the solution, it is passed through carbon or resin columns where the precious metals are deposited onto the carbon/resin.

The metals will then be stripped from the carbon back into a different solution where they are pumped through an electrowinning circuit in a process called carbon stripping. The metals are then deposited onto stainless steel in the electrowinning circuit. After this stage, the metals are either sold or further refined off-site. The solution is recycled and used again to process additional material.

Employees

As of December 31, 2023, we did not have any employees. The Company’s and its subsidiaries’ officers, directors and independent contractors conduct all operations.

120-kV electrical power substation located on the Miller property.

Existing cell phone tower located on the Millers property.

The above advantages are leveraged to establish a state-of-the-art industrial park centered around the ability to provide reliable power from an industrial scale solar farm supported by battery storage, the construction of four 100,000 square foot data centers, ownership of exclusive water rights, and a commitment to sustainability. ACRG is exploring opportunities in industrial storage whereby part of the 1,183 acre property will be allocated to be used for industrial storage by third-party companies. The industrial storage operations will transition over time into waste-to-energy and industrial manufacturing operations as the solar farm becomes operational, providing access to green electricity for NetZero manufacturing. We have identified the industrial storage of discarded commercial windmill blades as a potential business, where the windmill blades are initially stored and later recycled on site. The fiberglass and plastic are repurposed while the remaining residue is used for cement production and waste-to-energy processes, converting the remaining material into usable energy forms such as steam. Other waste-to-energy materials include industrial carpets and composite materials.

ACRG will seek to raise equity capital to fund the initial industrial park project development stages which include the creation of overall project plans, enhanced operational and financial analysis, screening and selection of potential partners and vendors, and securing city, state and federal support for the project. This includes, but is not limited to, laying the groundwork through infrastructure, regulatory, and labor partnerships. Parallel to the above activities ACRG will explore various grants (direct grants and matching grants) and low-cost debt funding sources to support the initial project development stages.

As the project becomes more defined, additional equity and debt will be secured to fund further project development, including the build-out of infrastructure, construction of four 100,000 square foot data farm structures, completion of the milling facility and four separate 0.5 GW solar farms in addition to attracting waste-to-energy and industrial storage operations to the location. The total scope of the ACRG Greenway to Power™ Renewable Energy Industrial Park is $3.0 billion not including investments from business partners located on the industrial park to establish their own waste-to-energy and manufacturing operations.

SWIS Smart Device Business

On September 13, 2023, the Company executed an agreement to acquire a 100% interest in SWIS, L.L.C. (“SWIS”). The Company issued 1,500,000 shares of restricted common stock to SWIS's former owner, Launch IT, LLC, and assumed certain liabilities in exchange for 100% interest in SWIS. Upon the executed agreement, Launch IT, LLC became a significant owner of the Company’s common stock and, as of December 31, 2024, owns 10% of the Company’s restricted common stock.

The Company determined the acquisition to be an asset acquisition under ASC 805, Business Combinations, as all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired was concentrated in a single identifiable asset, the developed technology and exclusive license. The developed technology and exclusive license is a definite-lived intangible asset and is being amortized over the life of the patent life.

The total purchase consideration for the acquisition of SWIS was $5,007,730, which includes the issuance of restricted common stock valued at $4,875,000 and assumed accounts payable balance of $132,730. The restricted common stock issued was fair valued reflecting a 35% liquidity discount from the $5.00 share price of the Company common stock on the date of the acquisition. The consideration paid is recorded on the Company’s books as Developed Technology and Patent Rights, with a useful life of 14 years (150 months from the acquisition date of September 13, 2023). The monthly amortization of the Developed Technology and Patent Rights is approximately $27,821.

The Company plans to develop a separate business around the exclusive patent and technology rights acquired by ACRG as part of the SWIS acquisition. SWIS has developed an algorithm and a “smart” device that provides essential information to improve water quality from Combined Sewer Overflow (“CSO”). SWIS, LLC assigned the patent to the University of Louisville (“U of L”) with the intent to commercialize the solution on behalf of the university, community, state and country. ACRG will, once adequate funding has been secured, roll out a pilot program to test its modernized approach to CSO Public Notification Programs with select utilities and Municipal Sewer Districts. Currently, the patented algorithm is on standby for integration into “smart” plugs that will be used for non-invasive in-home notification. An implementation playbook has been designed for municipal use. The pilot program will be followed by additional analysis and improvements to the overall SWIS technology that is centered around the application of a warning and monitoring system related to Combined Sewer Overflow (“CSO”). Once the SWIS concept has been fined tuned, ACRG envisions a large scale rollout across the US to large utility companies and Municipal Sewer Districts.

Combined Sewer Systems (“CSS”) were built over a century ago with the intention to divert wastewater away from households. CSS collects rainwater runoff, domestic sewage, and industrial wastewater into a single pipe system, which then transports the combined wastewater to a treatment plant. When the aged CSS is overwhelmed, the result is untreated wastewater being discharged directly into public waterways, such as creeks, streams, rivers, and other local bodies of water referred to as CSO. The resulting discharges of pollutants into public waterways increases the amount of suspended solids from point-source origins introduced to the ecosystem, creating a significant health hazard for wildlife and humans exposed to these waterways, historically tied to disease transmission. These violate the Clean Water Act and result in significant repercussions from the EPA. Currently, over forty million people in 700+ municipalities nationwide live in a municipality with a Combined Sewer System.

Current solutions rely predominantly on inadequate Public Notification Programs to prevent water use at the source, the household, during high-risk CSO times. The current Public Notification Programs utilized by all municipalities in a CSS entails email signups, website banners, pamphlets, signs, etc., which remain arduous and ineffective. This antiquated, ineffective approach creates the immediate need to develop a modern, real-time notification system that gives individual households and facilities the immediately ability to positively modify their water use behavior resulting in a decrease in harmful point source pollutants unknowingly and unnecessarily being introduced to public waterways.

The planned pilot program will be an opportunity for us to prove the SWIS solution and to expand the SWIS business going forward. As of the date of this filing the Company has not started the pilot program due to liquidity issues since acquiring SWIS. In December 2024, management determined that the asset’s book value of $4,574,871 was not recoverable and was subject to impairment. In accordance with the applicable guidance under ASC 360, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” the Company evaluated the recoverability of the developed technology based on estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. As these cash flows were insufficient to recover the carrying amount, the Company measured and recognized an impairment loss equal to the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and its estimated fair value. As a result, the Company recorded a full impairment charge of $4,574,871 as of December 31, 2024.

Human Capital

As of December 31, 2024, we had 0 full-time employees and 0 consultants who devote substantial time to us.

We maintain a website at https://acrgincorp.com to which we post copies of our press releases as well as additional information about us. Our filings with the Commission are available free of charge through our website as soon as reasonably practicable after being electronically filed with or furnished to the Commission. Information contained in our website is not a part of, nor incorporated by reference into, this Report or our other filings with the Commission, and should not be relied upon.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

An investment in our common stock is highly speculative and involves a high degree of risk. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the risks described below together with all of the other information included in this prospectus. The statements contained in or incorporated into this prospectus that are not historic facts are forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in or implied by forward-looking statements. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be harmed. In that case, the value of our common stock could decline, and an investor in our securities may lose all or part of their investment.

Risks Related to Our Capital Stock

INVESTORS MAY BE UNABLE TO ACCURATELY VALUE OUR COMMON STOCK.

Investors often value companies based on the stock prices and results of operations of other comparable companies. Currently, we do not believe another publicly traded permitted custom processing toll milling company exists that is directly comparable to our size and scale. Prospective investors, therefore, have limited historical information about our permitted custom processing toll milling capabilities on which to base an evaluation of our performance and prospects and an investment in our common stock. As such, investors may find it difficult to accurately value our common stock.

INVESTORS MAY FACE SIGNIFICANT RESTRICTIONS ON THE RESALE OF OUR COMMON STOCK DUE TO FEDERAL REGULATION OF PENNY STOCKS.

The SEC has defined any equity security with a market price of less than $5.00 per share as a “penny stock.” Penny stocks are subject to the requirements or Rule 15(g)-9 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Our common stock is quoted on the Over the Counter (“OTC”) Markets under the symbol ACRG and despite recent trading prices above $5.00 per share, has historically been below $5.00 per share. Therefore, our common stock is deemed a “penny stock” and is subject to the requirements of Rule 15(g)-9. Under such rule, broker-dealers who recommend low-priced securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors must satisfy special sales practice requirements, including a requirement that they make an individualized written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s consent prior to the transaction. The required penny stock disclosures include the delivery, prior to any transaction, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated with it. Such requirements could severely limit the market liquidity of the securities and the ability of purchasers to sell their securities in the secondary market.

WE DO NOT INTEND TO PAY DIVIDENDS FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.

We have never declared or paid any dividends on our common stock. We intend to retain all of our earnings, if any, for the foreseeable future to finance the operation and expansion of our business, and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the future. Our Board of Directors retains the discretion to change this policy.

THE MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK IS LIMITED AND MAY ~~FLUCTUATE~~BE VOLATILE.

Currently, our common stock is traded on the OTC Expert Market, and is not eligible for proprietary broker-dealer quotations. OTC Markets may designate securities for quoting on the Expert Market when it is not able to confirm that the company is making current information publicly available under SEC Rule 15c2-11, or when the security is otherwise restricted from public quoting. “Unsolicited-Only” stocks, such as ours, have a higher risk of wider spread, increased volatility, and price dislocations. Stock prices on the OTC Markets, especially “Unsolicited-Only” stocks listed on the Expert Market, can be more volatile than stocks trading on national market systems such as NSADAQ, NYSE or AMEX. ~~Our~~Quotations in Expert Market securities are restricted from public viewing, and pricing is only available to broker-dealers and with investor best execution needs. Investors may have difficulty selling out stock. Additionally, our stock price may be affected by factors outside of our control and unrelated to our business operations.

OUR PRIOR FAILURE TO TIMELY FILE REPORTS REQUIRED BY THE SEC COULD AVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS, OUR REPUTATION, AND THE VALUE OF OUR STOCK.

We did not timely file our Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2024, June 30, 2024 and September 30, 2024 or Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q/A for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2023, June 30, 2023, or September 30, 2023. As a result, we have been or could be subject to risks including potential notice of non-compliance from OTC Markets, limitations on our ability to use short-form registration statements, potential events of default under financing arrangements, increased audit and compliance costs, and reputational harm with investors, customers, and employees. Although this Super 10-K is intended to bring us current in our Exchange Act reporting, we could in the future experience delays in filings, and any such delays could have the effects described above and could negatively impact the market price of our securities.

Risks Related to Our Financial Condition

WE CURRENTLY DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH CASH TO FUND OPERATIONS AND/OR REDUCE OUR DEBT DURING ~~2024~~2025.

We have very limited funds, and such funds are not adequate to develop our current business plan, or even to satisfy our existing working capital requirements. We will be required to raise additional funds to effectuate our current business plan for permitted custom processing toll milling and to satisfy our working capital requirements. Without significant additional capital, we will be unable to start operations. With respect to our proposed permitted custom processing toll milling operations, the costs and ability to successfully operate have not been fully verified because none of our proposed tolling operations have begun and we may incur unexpected costs or delays in connection with starting operations. The cost of designing and building our operations and of finding customers and sources of ore for our toll milling sources can be extensive and will require us to obtain additional financing, and there is no assurance that we will have the resources necessary or the financing available to attain operations or to acquire customers and ore sources necessary for our long-term business. Our ultimate success will depend on our ability to raise additional capital. Additionally, such additional capital may not be available to us at acceptable terms or at all. Further, if we increase our capitalization and sell additional shares of our capital stock, a shareholder’s position in our Company will be subject to dilution. In the event we are unable to obtain additional capital, we may be forced to cease our search for additional business opportunities, reduce our operating expenditures or to cease operations altogether.

WE HAVE NOT YET BEGUN OPERATIONS AND WE EXPECT TO INCUR LOSSES FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.

We have yet to commence active operations. We have no prior operating history from which to evaluate our success, or our likelihood of success in operating our business, generating any revenues, or achieving profitability. This provides a limited basis for you to assess our ability to commercialize our services and the advisability of investing in our securities. We have not generated revenue from our toll milling services to date and there can be no assurance that our plans for permitted custom processing toll milling will be successful, or that we will ever attain significant revenue or profitability. Also, toll milling is a new area of business for us, and our management team has little experience in permitted custom processing toll milling operations. Although we intend to hire knowledgeable and experienced employees and/or consultants with significant experience in toll milling operations, there is no guarantee that we will reach profitability in the near future, if at all. As we develop our Tonopah property to prepare for operations, we are subject to unforeseen costs, expenses, problems and difficulties inherent in new business ventures.

OUR MANAGEMENT HAS SUBSTANTIAL DOUBT ABOUT OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN.

The consolidated financial statements for each of these periods were prepared assuming that we would continue as a going concern. We have had net losses for each of the years ended December 31, ~~2023~~2024 and ~~2022~~2023, and we have an accumulated a deficit as of December 31, ~~2023~~2024, of $~~107~~113,~~939~~553,~~395~~937. Virtually all of the Company’s assets are encumbered or pledged under senior secured debt that is in default. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Furthermore, since we do not expect to generate any significant revenues from operations for the foreseeable future, our ability to continue as a going concern depends, in large part, on our ability to raise additional capital through equity or debt financing transactions. If we are unable to raise additional capital, we may be forced to discontinue our business.

Risks Related to the Company

WE HAVE LIMITED ASSETS.

Our assets to be used in the development of a toll milling service have not yet been utilized, we will need to acquire additional equipment and construct additional facilities and there can be no guarantee that we will be successful in utilizing our current assets or obtaining the additional equipment and facilities that we will need to operate going forward. We do not anticipate having any revenues from our permitted custom toll milling processing for the foreseeable future. Additionally, without adequate funding, we may never produce any significant revenues.

OUR MAJOR ASSETS ARE ENCUMBERED UNDER A DEED OF TRUST OR PLEDGED.

~~The~~On March ~~Tonopah~~16, ~~property~~2020, isthe ~~subject~~Company entered into a Line of Credit (“LOC”) agreement with Granite Peak Resources LLC (“GPR”), a related party and the majority shareholder of the Company.

The LOC is for up~~ to $2,500,000, matures over three years and may be increased by up to another $1,000,000 and extended an additional two years at GPR’s sole option. The LOC is for funding operating expenses critical to the Company’s basic operations and redirection and all requests for funds may be approved or disapproved in GPR’s sole discretion. The LOC bears interest at 10% per annum, was convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a per share price of $1.65 and is secured by the real and personal property of the Company and its subsidiaries, and the subsidiaries’ stock GPR already has under lien (See Note 8 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements).:

The Company’s Board of Directors approved a revision in the conversion price at which the LOC may convert into the Company’s common stock from $1.65 per share to $1.05 per share, based upon the market price of the Company’s common stock over the 3 days preceding the agreement. GPR is the Company’s majority shareholder and largest debtholder. GPR holds a senior secured interest in all of the assets of the Company, including the stock of its subsidiary entities. Effective June 12, 2023, the Company entered into a Third Amendment Agreement with GPR, wherein the LOC was increased to $52,500,000 and both the Senior Secured Promissory Note (previously held by Pure Path and acquired in 2019) and the Flechner Judgment (see the Company’s 10-K for 2022) were rolled into the balance of the LOC and the Deed of Trust was increased to $250,000,000 and the appropriate paperwork was filed with the requisite government office(s).

Key terms of ~~common~~the ~~stock.~~ Second Amendment included:

●

Increase in Borrowing Capacity: From $5.0 million to $35.0 million.

●

Extension of Maturity Date: To March 16, 2027.

●

Reduction in Conversion Price: From $1.65 to $1.05 per share, based on the trailing three-day market price.

●

Debt Consolidation: The following obligations, previously acquired by GPR, were formally consolidated into the LOC:

●

Tina Gregerson Promissory Note: $477,500 principal and $293,963 accrued interest.

●

Peter Krupp Promissory Note: $100,000 principal and $59,795 accrued interest.

●

Forbearance: GPR agreed to forbear from exercising rights under the loan documents, including foreclosure rights related to the Stephen Flechner Judgment and the Pure Path Capital Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note, both of which had been previously purchased by GPR. The forbearance period extends through January 12, 2024.

The Company evaluated the amendment under ASC 470-50 and ASC 470-60 and concluded it constituted a debt extinguishment, as the present value of the revised cash flows exceeded the 10% threshold. No gain or loss was recognized, as the reacquisition price equaled the carrying amount of the extinguished debt.

On June 12, 2023, the Company entered into a Third Amendment to the LOC (the “Third Amendment”) with GPR. Key terms of the Third Amendment included:

●

Increase in Borrowing Capacity: From $35.0 million to $52.5 million.

●

Expansion of Collateral: The Deed of Trust and Security Agreement was amended to increase the secured amount from $100 million to $250 million.

●

Debt Consolidation: The following obligations, previously acquired by GPR, were formally consolidated into the LOC:

●

The Pure Path Capital Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note: $2,229,187 principal and $1,709,064 accrued interest.

●

Stephen Flechner Judgment: $2,157,000 principal and $1,580,248 accrued interest.

The Company determined the amendment met the criteria for a troubled debt restructuring (TDR) under ASC 470-60, as the Company was experiencing financial difficulty and GPR granted a concession. The amendment was accounted for as a debt extinguishment under ASC 470-50, with no gain or loss recognized.

On August 2, 2023, GPR converted $5,250,000 of LOC principal into 5,000,000 shares of restricted common stock. On August 15, 2023, GPR converted the remaining $4,969,551 (principal and accrued interest) into 4,732,906 shares of restricted common stock, at the conversion price of $1.05 per share, as provided in the Third Amendment.

As of December 31, 2024 the outstanding balance under the LOC consisted of $425,589 in principal and $28,857 in accrued interest. As of December 31, 2023, the outstanding balance was $156,303 in principal and $1,149 in accrued interest.

During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized non-cash borrowings of $192,186 and $272,481, respectively, under the LOC. These amounts represent expenses paid directly by GPR on behalf of the Company and were recorded as increases to the LOC principal balance.

As of the date of this filing, GPR is the majority and controlling owner of the Company.

OUR MANAGEMENT TEAM MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY IMPLEMENT OUR BUSINESS STRATEGIES.

If our management team is unable to execute our business strategies, then our development could be materially and adversely affected. In addition, we may encounter difficulties in effectively managing the budgeting, forecasting and other process control issues presented by any future growth. We may seek to augment or replace members of our management team or we may lose key members of our management team, and we may not be able to attract new management talent with sufficient skill and experience.

OUR SUCCESS IN THE FUTURE MAY DEPEND ON OUR ABILITY TO ESTABLISH AND MAINTAIN STRATEGIC ALLIANCES, AND ANY FAILURE ON OUR PART TO ESTABLISH AND MAINTAIN SUCH RELATIONSHIPS WOULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR MARKET PENETRATION AND REVENUE GROWTH.

We may be required to establish strategic relationships with third parties in the mining and toll milling industries. Our ability to establish strategic relationships will depend on a number of factors, many of which are outside our control, such as the suitability of our property, facilities and equipment relative to our competitors, or the quality grade of precious minerals we are able to extract from the ore we process. We can provide no assurance that we will be able to establish strategic relationships in the future.

In addition, any strategic alliances that we establish, will subject us to a number of risks, including risks associated with sharing proprietary information, loss of control of operations that are material to developed business and profit-sharing arrangements. Moreover, strategic alliances may be expensive to implement and subject us to the risk that the third party will not perform its obligations under the relationship, which may subject us to losses over which we have no control or expensive termination arrangements. As a result, even if our strategic alliances with third parties are successful, our business may be adversely affected by a number of factors that are outside of our control.

Risks Relating to Our Business

WE WILL REQUIRE ADDITIONAL FINANCING TO FUND OUR PERMITTED CUSTOM PROCESSING TOLL MILLING DEVELOPMENT AND OPERATIONS.

Substantial additional financing will be needed to fund the current plan to begin toll milling services and develop and maintain the Tonopah property. Our means of acquiring investment capital is limited to private equity and debt transactions. We have no significant sources of currently available funds to engage in additional development. Without significant additional capital, we will be unable to fund our current property interests or effectuate our current business plan for permitted custom processing toll milling and mining services. See “—Risks Relating to Our Financial Condition – We Currently Do Not Have Enough Cash to Fund Operations, and/or Reduce Debt During 2024”.

OUR PERFORMANCE MAY BE SUBJECT TO FLUCTUATIONS IN MINERAL PRICES.

The profitability of any permitted custom processing toll milling services could be significantly affected by changes in the market price of minerals. Demand for minerals can be influenced by economic conditions and attractiveness as an investment vehicle. Other factors include the level of interest rates, exchange rates and inflation. The aggregate effect of these factors is impossible to predict with accuracy.

In particular, mine production and the willingness of third parties such as central banks to sell or lease gold affects the supply of gold. Worldwide production levels also affect mineral prices. In addition, the price of gold, silver and other precious minerals have, on occasion, been subject to very rapid short-term changes due to speculative activities.

OUR PERMITTED CUSTOM PROCESSING TOLL MILLING OPERATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS AND PERMITTING, WHICH COULD RESULT IN THE INCURRENCE OF ADDITIONAL COSTS AND OPERATIONAL DELAYS.

All phases of our operations are subject to current environmental protection regulation. There is no assurance that future changes in environmental regulation, such as greenhouse gas emissions, carbon footprint and the like, will not adversely affect our operations. Some of our proposed operations will require additional permits, which could incur additional cost and may delay start up and cash flow. In addition, each toll milling mineral source must be fully permitted for its own operation, a process over which we have no control.

OUR PERMITTED CUSTOM PROCESSING TOLL MILLING OPERATIONS WILL REQUIRE US TO DEPEND ON THIRD PARTIES AND OTHER ELEMENTS BEYOND OUR CONTROL, WHICH COULD RESULT IN HARM TO OUR BUSINESS.

Our permitted custom processing toll milling operations will rely on mineral material produced by others, and we have no control over their operations. Delivery of ore to our processing facilities is also subject to the risks of transportation, including trucking and aviation operations run by others, regulations and permits, fuel cost, weather, and travel conditions. Toll milling requires that the mineral producer and the mineral processor agree on the grade of the incoming material, which can be a source of conflict between parties. Although a third party will be utilized for any such conflict, any disagreements with mineral producers, or problems with the delivery of ore, could result in additional costs, disruptions and other problems in the operation of our business.

Risks Related to Cybersecurity

CYBERSECURITY.

We recognize the critical importance of developing, implementing, and maintaining robust cybersecurity measures to safeguard our information systems and protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our data. We currently have security measures in place to prevent data loss and other security breaches. We also only use third party software for accounting, billing and payroll that have successful SOC 1 type 2 compliance. Both management and the Board are actively involved in the continuous assessment of risks from cybersecurity threats, including prevention, mitigation, detection, and remediation of cybersecurity incidents.

Our current cybersecurity risk assessment program consists of an annual review of our risks and policies. The program outlines governance, policies and procedures, and technology we use to oversee and identify risks from cybersecurity threats.

Our President, CFO and CEO are responsible for overseeing our business operations and are responsible for day-to-day assessment and management of risks from cybersecurity threats, including the prevention, mitigation, detection, and remediation of cybersecurity incidents.

We routinely undertake activities to prevent, detect, and minimize the effects of cybersecurity incidents, including an annual risk review, policy reviews and revisions. In addition, we maintain business continuity, contingency, and recovery plans for use in the event of a cybersecurity incident by the administering of local and cloud based back up of files. and emails.

As of the date of this report, no cybersecurity incident (or aggregation of incidents) or cybersecurity threat has materially affected our results of operations or financial condition. However, an actual or perceived breach of our security could damage our reputation, risk loss of our proprietary information and prevent us from attracting new clients / customers. and / or subject us to third-party lawsuits, regulatory fines or other actions or liabilities, any of which could adversely affect our business, operating results or financial condition. We currently do not carry a cyber liability insurance policy.

U.S. FEDERAL LAWS

Under the U.S. Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, companies such as ours may incur costs for generating, transporting, treating, storing, or disposing of hazardous waste. Our permitted custom processing toll milling operations may produce air emissions, including fugitive dust and other air pollutants, from stationary equipment, storage facilities, and the use of mobile sources such as trucks and heavy construction equipment which are subject to review, monitoring and/or control requirements under the Federal Clean Air Act and state air quality laws. Permitting rules may impose limitations on our production levels or create additional capital expenditures in order to comply with the rules.

The U.S. Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended (“CERCLA”) imposes strict joint and several liability on parties associated with releases or threats of releases of hazardous substances. The groups who could be found liable include, among others, the current owners and operators of facilities which release hazardous substances into the environment and past owners and operators of properties who owned such properties at the time the disposal of the hazardous substances occurred. This liability could include the cost of removal or remediation of the release and damages for injury to the surrounding property. We cannot predict the potential for future CERCLA liability with respect to our property.

THE GLOBAL FINANCIAL MARKET MAY HAVE IMPACTS ON OUR BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION THAT WE CURRENTLY CANNOT PREDICT.

The global financial market, especially the precious metal market and its market price fluctuations have, and may continue to have, an impact on our business and our financial condition. We may face significant challenges if the price of the minerals we intend to process does not achieve or stay at adequate price levels. Our ability to access the capital markets may be severely restricted at a time when we would like, or need, to access such markets, which could have an impact on our flexibility to react to changing economic and business conditions. The market price of ores, metals and precious metals could have an impact on any potential lenders or investors or on our customers, causing them to fail to meet their obligations to us.

On March 15, 2011, in an effort to enter the precious metal toll milling business, we completed the Shea Exchange Agreement, whereby we acquired the Tonopah property, consisting of land, buildings, mining tailings, a dormant milling facility, abandoned milling equipment and water permits.

Our Tonopah property consists of 1,186 acres of land, buildings, mining tailings, a dormant milling facility, abandoned milling equipment and water permits. The assets have been fully depreciated and have a $0 carry value as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. The Tonopah property was transferred to Aurielle Enterprises Inc (“AE”), the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary and then transferred to Tonopah Resources, Inc., (“TR”) a wholly owned subsidiary of AE.

During 2022, our corporate office was relocated to 10567 West Cedar Drive, Suite 203, Lakewood, Colorado 80228-2039, a commercial office building owned and operated by GPR’s affiliates. We believe that our facilities are adequate for our current needs and are in closer physical proximity to our property.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

~~None~~We are not aware of any pending legal proceedings to which we are a party, or to which any director, officer or affiliate of our Company, or any owner of record or beneficially of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities, is a party adverse to us or has a material interest adverse to us.

Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward Looking Statements

Readers are cautioned that the following discussion contains certain forward-looking statements and should be read in conjunction with the “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” appearing at the beginning of this Annual Report.

The information contained in Item 7 contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Actual results may materially differ from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of certain risks and uncertainties set forth in this report. Although management believes that the assumptions made and expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, there is no assurance that the underlying assumptions will, in fact, prove to be correct or that actual results will not be different from expectations expressed in this report.

We desire to take advantage of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. This filing contains a number of forward-looking statements, which reflect management’s current views and expectations with respect to our business, strategies, products, future results and events, and financial performance.

Water Pollution Control Permit

Through the Company’s subsidiaries, a Water Pollution Control Permit (“WPCP”) Application will need to be filed with the Nevada Department of Environmental Protection (“NDEP”) Bureau of Mines and Mining Reclamation (“BMMR”) for the approval of the permits necessary for a small-scale mineral processing facility planned for the Tonopah Property. The plant will perform laboratory testing, pilot testing, and custom processing of precious metal ores and concentrates from mining industry clients. Processing of ore materials will employ standard mineral processing techniques including gravity concentration, froth flotation and chemical leaching and carbon stripping.

The WPCP must be approved prior to commencing the planned construction of our processing plant in Tonopah, Nevada.

In connection with the WPCP application, NDEP suggested that we take the following actions: (i) retain a Nevada Certified Environmental Manager (“CEM”), (ii) perform Meteoric Profile II water testing on ground water directly below the mill as well as surrounding wells located off site, and (iii) determine baseline values of water using the Meteoric Profile II results. NDEP regulations require that the Company delay any new construction planned for “metal extraction” until after the permits are in place.

12In addition to the custom processing and permitted toll milling business, the Company is exploring the establishment of an industrial park on the Millers property in Esmeralda County, Nevada. The industrial park would serve as a central hub for renewable energy generation and storage, operating around the clock to attract and support tenants committed to producing NetZero goods and services, with a focus on data centers and AI farms. The industrial park will include a commercial solar farm, battery storage plus land dedicated to industrial storage, waste-to-energy generation and industrial manufacturing. The Company is actively exploring various funding sources to advance the establishment of the industrial park. Once operational the industrial park is envisioned to include a 2 GW solar farm, large battery storage centers, four 100,000 square foot data centers plus several industrial partners engaged in recycling industrial waste materials that include discarded windmill blades, corporate carpets, and other industrial manufacturing operations that rely on are large consumers of renewable energy.

In addition to the custom processing and permitted toll milling business, the Company is exploring the establishment of an industrial park on the Millers property in Esmeralda County, Nevada. The industrial park would serve as a central hub for renewable energy generation and storage, operating around the clock to attract and support tenants committed to producing NetZero goods and services, with a focus on data centers and AI farms. The industrial park will include a commercial solar farm, battery storage plus land dedicated to industrial storage, waste-to-energy generation and industrial manufacturing. The Company is actively exploring various funding sources to advance the establishment of the industrial park. Once operational the industrial park is envisioned to include a 2 GW solar farm, large battery storage centers, four 100,000 square foot data centers plus several industrial partners engaged in recycling industrial waste materials that include discarded windmill blades, corporate carpets, and other industrial manufacturing operations that rely on are large consumers of renewable energy.

Direct proximity to the 16,787 acre Millers Solar Energy Zone (SEZ).

Planned Greenlink West grid access through NV Energy Esmeralda substation.

Located next to Highway 95 with access to the Hawthorne Railway.

388 acre-feet of water rights (126 million gallons annually).

Strategic access to a major fiber optic junction.

120-kV electrical power substation located on the Miller property.

Existing cell phone tower located on the Millers property.

The above advantages are leveraged to establish a state-of-the-art industrial park centered around the ability to provide reliable power from an industrial scale solar farm supported by battery storage, the construction of four 100,000 square foot data centers, ownership of exclusive water rights, and a commitment to sustainability. The Company is exploring opportunities in industrial storage whereby part of the 1,183 acre property will be allocated to be used for industrial storage by third-party companies. The industrial storage operations will transition over time into waste-to-energy and industrial manufacturing operations as the solar farm becomes operational, providing access to green electricity for NetZero manufacturing. We have identified the industrial storage of discarded commercial windmill blades as a potential business, where the windmill blades are initially stored and later recycled on site. The fiberglass and plastic are repurposed while the remaining residue is used for cement production and waste-to-energy processes, converting the remaining material into usable energy forms such as steam. Other waste-to-energy materials include industrial carpets and composite materials.

The Company will seek to raise equity capital to fund the initial industrial park project development stages which include the creation of overall project plans, enhanced operational and financial analysis, screening and selection of potential partners and vendors, and securing city, state and federal support for the project. This includes, but is not limited to, laying the groundwork through infrastructure, regulatory, and labor partnerships. Parallel to the above activities the Company will explore various grants (direct grants and matching grants) and low-cost debt funding sources to support the initial project development stages.

Revenues

We had no revenues from any operations for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. Furthermore, we do not anticipate any significant future revenue until we have sufficiently funded construction and begin operations.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses were $992,142 and $487,357 for the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase was primarily due to increases in expenses related to accounting, legal, consulting fees, amortization expense, and board compensation. We anticipate that future administration and operating expenses will increase for fiscal 2025 as we work toward completion of the planned merger.

Impairment Expenses

Impairment expenses were $4,574,871 and $0 for the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. During the Company’s ongoing assessment of the carrying value of its developed technology in 2024, management determined that the asset’s book value of $4,574,871 was not recoverable and was subject to impairment. In accordance with the applicable guidance under ASC 360, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” the Company evaluated the recoverability of the developed technology based on estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. As these cash flows were insufficient to recover the carrying amount, the Company measured and recognized an impairment loss equal to the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and its estimated fair value. As a result, the Company recorded a full impairment charge of $4,574,871 as of December 31, 2024, which is included in the consolidated statements of operations as impairment expense.

Other Income and Expenses

During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, other expenses decreased by $318,272. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in interest expense of $313,006 and an increase in other income of $5,266. The activity was offset by a decrease in gain on the settlement of accounts payable of $57,571. The $352,634 decrease in interest expense relates to the GPR LOC conversion to restricted common shares during September 2023 and a lower average debt balance during the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to 2023.

Revenues

We had no revenues from any operations for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. Furthermore, we do not anticipate any significant future revenue until we have sufficiently funded construction and begin operations.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses were $241,920 and $115,351 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase was primarily due to increases in expenses related to consulting fees, amortization expense, and board compensation.

Other Income and Expenses

During the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, other expenses decreased by $85,822. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in interest expense of $85,822.

Revenues

We had no revenues from any operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. Furthermore, we do not anticipate any significant future revenue until we have sufficiently funded construction and begin operations.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses were $768,547 and $222,066 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase was primarily due to increases in expenses related to accounting, legal, professional fees, consulting fees, amortization expense, and board compensation expense.

Other Income and Expenses

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, other expenses decreased by $336,475. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in interest expense of $331,475 and an increase in other income of $5,000. The $331,475 decrease in interest expense relates to the GPR LOC conversion to restricted common shares during September 2023 and a lower average debt balance during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to 2023.

~~During~~● ~~the~~cash ~~year~~advances ~~ended~~from ~~December 31, 2022, GPR, a~~ related party, advanced $314,433 pursuant to the LOC in direct payments on the Company’s behalf to reduce certain accounts payable. The balance due GPR under this line of credit is comprised of principal of $1,199,527 and accrued interest of $184,928 at December 31, 2022. The Company entered into an Amendment and Forbearance Agreement with GPR on January 5, 2023 wherein GPR agreed to: (a) increase the existing LOC from $5,000,000 due March 16, 2025 to $35,000,000 due March 16, 2027, (b) roll two existing promissory notes purchased by GPR into the LOC resulting in the extinguishment of such notes as separate instruments, and (c) to forebear until January 12, 2024, on exercising its foreclosure rights under its defaulted Senior Secured Note. The Company’s Board of Directors approved a revision in the conversion price at which the LOC may convert into the Company’s common stock from $1.65 per share to $1.05 per share, based upon the market price of the Company’s common stock over the 3 days preceding the agreement. GPR is the Company’s majority shareholder and largest debtholder. GPR holds a senior secured interest in all of the assets of the Company, including the stock of its subsidiary entities. Effective June 12, 2023, the Company entered into a Third Amendment Agreement with GPR, wherein the LOC was increased to $52,500,000 and both the Senior Secured Promissory Note (previously held by Pure Path and acquired in 2019) and the Flechner Judgment (see the Company’s 10-K for 2022) were rolled into the balance of the LOC and the Deed of Trust was increased to $250,000,000.parties

As of December 31, 2024, our current assets were significantly less than our current liabilities, resulting in a working capital deficit. This deficit, along with recurring operating losses and negative cash flows from operations, raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months from the date these financial statements were issued. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to obtain additional financing and to generate revenue and cash flow to meet our obligations on a timely basis. Management is actively seeking additional sources of capital, including debt and equity financing, and is evaluating cost containment measures to preserve liquidity. There is no assurance that such funding will be available on acceptable terms, or at all.

Internal and External Sources of Liquidity

Our primary internal source of liquidity is cash on hand, which was $719 as of December 31, 2024. We do not currently generate positive operating cash flows. Our external sources of liquidity include related party financing (notably from GPR), potential equity issuances, and possible third-party debt arrangements. The Company does not have any off-balance sheet financing arrangements.

Material Cash Requirements and Commitments

Our primary short-term cash requirements are to fund working capital and service short-term debt. Working capital requirements can vary significantly from period to period, particularly as a result of additional development expenses. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had no material commitments for capital expenditures. However, significant capital will be required to fund the construction of the Tonopah processing facility and the planned industrial park. The Company anticipates that these requirements will be met through a combination of equity and debt financing, as well as potential government grants and strategic partnerships. The general purpose of these expenditures is to advance the Company’s business plan, including the development of permitted custom processing toll milling operations and the ACRG Greenway to Power™ Renewable Energy Industrial Park.

Trends in Capital Resources and Changes in Mix/Cost

During the period, the Company’s capital structure shifted from debt to equity as a result of the conversion of the GPR line of credit into common stock. This reduced interest expense but increased shareholder dilution. The cost of capital remains high due to the Company’s financial condition and market volatility. Future financing may be more expensive or dilutive, and there is no assurance that such financing will be available on acceptable terms.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company is subject to risks from inflation, rising interest rates, and volatility in capital markets, which may adversely affect its ability to raise capital. Additionally, the mining and renewable energy sectors are experiencing increased regulatory scrutiny and competition for funding, which could impact the Company’s liquidity and capital resources.

Convertible Promissory Notes Payable

On March 16, 2020, the Company executed a Line of Credit (“LOC”) with GPR, related party. The LOC is for up to $2,500,000, matures over three years and may be increased by up to another $1,000,000 and extended an additional two years, respectively, at GPR’s sole option. The LOC bears interest at 10% per annum, is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a per share price of $2.00 based on the last closing sale price on the date of execution and will be secured by the real and personal property GPR already has under lien.

The Company entered into a Second Amendment and Forbearance Agreement with GPR on January 5, 2023 wherein GPR agreed to: (a) increase the existing LOC from $5,000,000 due March 16, 2025 to $35,000,000 due March 16, 2027, (b) roll two existing promissory notes (Tina Gregerson and Krupp notes) purchased by GPR into the LOC resulting in the extinguishment of such notes as separate instruments, and (c) to forebear until January 12, 2024, on exercising its foreclosure rights under its defaulted Senior Secured Note. The Company’s Board of Directors approved a revision in the conversion price at which the LOC may convert into the Company’s common stock from $1.65 per share to $1.05 per share, based upon the market price of the Company’s common stock over the 3 days preceding the agreement. GPR is the Company’s majority shareholder and largest debtholder. GPR holds a senior secured interest in all of the assets of the Company, including the stock of its subsidiary entities.

On June 12, 2023, the Company entered into a Third Amendment Agreement with GPR, wherein the LOC was increased to $52,500,000 and both the Senior Secured Promissory Note (previously held by PPMC and acquired in 2019) and the Flechner Judgment were rolled into the balance of the LOC and the Deed of Trust was increased to $250,000,000. The LOC bears interest at 10% per annum and is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at $2.00 per share and is secured by the Company’s real and personal property and its subsidiaries stock.

In furtherance of the preparation for the planned merger with the SMS Group, GPR converted a $5,250,000 portion of the LOC into 5 million shares of restricted common stock effective August 2, 2023. The remaining $4,969,551 balance of the LOC was converted into 4,732,906 shares of restricted common stock effective August 15, 2023. GPR now owns 10,542,989 shares of common stock, which is 73% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock, 511,324 of those shares are classified on the statements of stockholders’ deficit as shares issued in excess.

As of December 31, 2024 the outstanding principal and accrued interest balance was $425,589 and $28,857, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company had $192,186 and $77,100 expenses that were paid directly by GPR - related party and proceeds from convertible notes - related party, respectively. The Company’s convertible note line of credit with GPR was increased by this same amount.

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to obtain additional financing as may be required and ultimately to attain profitability. If the Company raises additional funds through the issuance of equity, the percentage ownership of current shareholders could be reduced, and such securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to the rights, preferences and privileges of the Company’s common stock. Additional financing may not be available upon acceptable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, the Company may not be able to take advantage of prospective business endeavors or opportunities, which could significantly and materially restrict its future plans for developing its business and achieving commercial revenues. If the Company is unable to obtain the necessary capital, the Company may have to cease operations.26

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in the notes to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. We believe that the accounting policies below are critical for one to fully understand and evaluate our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

15ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

~~Impairment~~We are a smaller reporting company and are not ofrequired ~~Long-lived~~to ~~Assets~~ include information called for by this Item 7A.

We are reviewing the property and equipment, intangible assets subject to amortization and other long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset class may not be recoverable in accordance with ASC 360-10-35, Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. Indicators of potential impairment include: an adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate that could affect the value of the asset; an adverse change in the extent or manner in which the asset is used or is expected to be used, or in its physical condition; and current or forecasted operating or cash flow losses that demonstrate continuing losses associated with the use of the asset. If indicators of impairment are present, the asset is tested for recoverability by comparing the carrying value of the asset to the related estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset. If the expected cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, then the asset is considered to be impaired and its carrying value is written down to fair value, based on the related estimated discounted cash flows. There were no impairment charges in the year ended December 31, 2023, however, in 2019 we decided to combine the carrying value of our mining and mineral assets as they are inseparable and depend upon each other in value creation.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for based upon an asset and liability approach. Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities arise from the difference between the tax basis of an asset or liability and its reported amount in the financial statements. Deferred tax amounts are determined using the tax rates expected to be in effect when the taxes will actually be paid or refunds received, as provided under currently enacted tax law. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense or benefit is the tax payable or refundable, respectively, for the period plus or minus the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities during the period.

Accounting guidance requires the recognition of a financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. The Company believes its income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained upon examination and accordingly, no reserves, or related accruals for interest and penalties have been recorded at December 31, 2023 and 2022. The Company recognizes interest and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits as well as interest received from favorable tax settlements within income tax expense.

Recent Accounting Standards

During the year ended December 31, 2023 and through July 12, 2024, there were several new accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. Each of these pronouncements, as applicable, has been or will be adopted by the Company. Management does not believe the adoption of any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance the objectives of the control system are met.

Under the supervision of, and the participation of, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2023, because of the identification of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described below. Notwithstanding the material weaknesses that existed as of December 31, 2023, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have each concluded that the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company and its subsidiaries in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). We are currently taking steps to remediate such material weaknesses as described below.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a set of processes designed by, or under the supervision of, a company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP and includes those policies and procedures that:

●

Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and dispositions of our assets;

●

Provide reasonable assurance our transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of our financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and

●

Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. It should be noted that any system of internal control, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system will be met. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on criteria established in “Internal Control-Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”), as of December 31, 2009.

1730

As a result of our continued material weaknesses described below, management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective based on the criteria in “Internal Control-Integrated Framework” issued by COSO.

Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. In connection with the assessment, management identified the following control deficiencies, which were previously identified, that still represent material weaknesses atas of December 31, ~~2023~~2024:

●

The Company, at times in the past prior to the period covered by this annual statement, entered into material transactions without timely obtaining the appropriate signed agreements, stock certificates and board approval prior to releasing cash funds called for by the transaction. Management believes the approval process currently in place is sufficient to alleviate any misappropriation of funds and will change procedures if and when circumstances indicate they are needed. Although the Company has taken steps to prevent this from happening by utilizing an escrow agent, agreements entered into by prior management will continue to cause an issue until such prior agreements terminate or expire.

●

Management did not design and maintain effective control relating to the quarter end closing and financial reporting process due to lack of evidence of review surrounding various account reconciliations and properly evidenced journal entries. Due to the Company’s limited resources, the Company has insufficient personnel resources and technical accounting and reporting expertise to properly address all of the accounting matters inherent in the Company’s financial transactions. Additionally, though the Company has recently formed a formal audit committee, the Company has not yet formalized processes and controls that would provide proper board oversight role within the financial reporting process. Management continues to search for additional board members that are independent and can add financial expertise and intends to formalize oversight processes in this area in an effort to remediate part of this material weakness.

● The Company’s change in management, board members and officer positions resulting in changes of the responsible person for certain duties has caused delays in the timely review of financial data and banking information. The Company has very limited review procedures in place. This material weakness, previously identified, continued in ~~2023~~2024 as a result of additional management changes. Management plans to establish a more formal review process by the board members in an effort to reduce the risk of fraud and financial misstatements.

We are in the process of establishing certain steps in response to the identification of these material weaknesses that should result in certain changes in our internal control over financial reporting, but due to the Company’s limited funds and inability to add certain staff personnel, the changes may be limited and may also not be completely effective. There were no additional material weaknesses noted during the year ended December 31, ~~2023~~2024.

Director Independence

Our securities are quoted on the OTC Market, which does not have any director independence requirements. We evaluate independence by the standards for director independence established by applicable laws, rules, and listing standards including, without limitation, the standards for independent directors established by The New York Stock Exchange, Inc., the NASDAQ National Market, and the Securities and Exchange Commission. Subject to some exceptions, these standards generally provide that a director will not be independent if (a) the director is, or in the past three years has been, an employee of ours; (b) a member of the director’s immediate family is, or in the past three years has been, an executive officer of ours; (c) the director or a member of the director’s immediate family has received more than $120,000 per year in direct compensation from us other than for service as a director (or for a family member, as a non-executive employee); (d) the director or a member of the director’s immediate family is, or in the past three years has been, employed in a professional capacity by our independent public accountants, or has worked for such firm in any capacity on our audit; (e) the director or a member of the director’s immediate family is, or in the past three years has been, employed as an executive officer of a company where one of our executive officers serves on the compensation committee; or (f) the director or a member of the director’s immediate family is an executive officer of a company that makes payments to, or receives payments from, us in an amount which, in any twelve-month period during the past three years, exceeds the greater of $1,000,000 or two percent of that other company’s consolidated gross revenues. Based on these standards, we have determined that our directors are not independent directors.

ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES

On February 12, 2025, the Audit Committee approved the appointment of M&K CPAS, PLLC (“M&K”) as the Company’s new independent public accounting firm, effective immediately. During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years, and any subsequent interim period prior to engaging M&K, neither the Company, nor anyone on its behalf, consulted M&K regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered with respect to the consolidated financial statements of the Company, and no written report or oral advice was provided to the Company by M&K that was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was the subject of a “disagreement” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) or a “reportable event” (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

Our Board of Directors appointed Turner, Stone & Company, L.L.P. (“Turner”) PCAOB Auditor ID76 to audit our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023, and 2022. The following tables set forth the fees billed to the Company for professional services rendered by Turner for the years ended December 31, 2023, and 2022.

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

The Company does not currently utilize a formal audit committee as it has yet to formalize processes and controls that would provide proper Board oversight. Our Board approves each engagement for audit or non-audit services before we engage our independent auditor to provide those services. The Board has not established any pre-approval policies or procedures that would allow our management to engage our independent auditor to provide any specified services with only an obligation to notify the audit committee of the engagement for those services. None of the services provided by our independent auditors for fiscal year 2023 were obtained in reliance on the waiver of the pre-approval requirement afforded in SEC regulations.

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

~~The~~We have audited the accompanying ~~footnotes~~consolidated balance ~~are~~sheets anof ~~integral~~American ~~part~~Clean Resources Group, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 and the related consolidated statements of ~~these~~operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the two years-ended December 31, 2024 and 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, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the two-years ended December 31, 2024 and 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 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company suffered recurring losses, a large accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2024 and has no revenues 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 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 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 ~~accompanying~~critical ~~footnotes~~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 anmaterial ~~integral~~to ~~part~~the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of ~~these~~critical audit matter 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.

Going Concern

Due to the net loss for the year, the Company evaluated the need for a going concern.

Auditing management’s evaluation of a going concern can be a significant judgement given the fact that the Company uses management estimates on future revenues and expenses which are not able to be substantiated.

As discussed in Note 2, the Company has incurred recurring losses and as of December 31, 2024, had an accumulated deficit of $113,553,937 and no revenues for either audited year.

To evaluate the appropriateness of the going concern, we examined and evaluated the financial information along with management’s plans to mitigate the going concern and management’s disclosure on going concern.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, ~~2023~~2024 ~~(unaudited)~~AND ~~and 2022 (audited)~~2023

~~NOTE~~ 1. –Nature ~~NATURE~~of ~~OF BUSINESS~~Business

American Clean Resources Group, Inc. f/k/a Standard Metals Processing, Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our,” “ACRG” or the “Company”) is an exploration stage company, incorporated in Nevada ~~having offices in Lakewood, Colorado and through its subsidiary, a property in Tonopah, Nevada and SWIS~~., a Kentucky limited liability company, since its acquisition by the Company in September 2023. SWIS owns a patented algorithm that provides advanced management information allowing town engineers to optimize the capacity of their storm/sanitary sewer infrastructure. The Company’s primary business plan is to purchase equipment and build a facility on the Tonopah property to serve as a permitted custom processing toll milling facility while it explores new technologies that allow greater effectiveness in achieving industry sustainability goals (which includes an analytical lab, pyrometallurgical plant, and hydrometallurgical recovery plant).

The Company plans to perform permitted custom processing toll milling which is a process whereby mined material is crushed and ground into fine particles to ease the extraction of any precious minerals contained therein, such as minerals in the gold, silver, and platinum metal groups. Custom milling and refining can include many different processes that are designed specifically for each ore load and to maximize the extraction of precious metals from carbon or concentrates. These toll-processing services also distil, dry, mix, or mill chemicals and bulk materials on a contractual basis and provide a chemical production outsourcing option for industrial companies, which lack the expertise, capacity, or regulatory permits for in-house production.

~~Going~~2. ~~Concern~~Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), assuming we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company incurred net losses from operations of $1,289,661. At December 31, 2023, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $107,939,395 and a working capital deficit of $3,228,998. In addition, virtually all of the Company’s assets are encumbered or pledged under a senior secured convertible promissory note payable to a related party that is in default. These circumstances raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to raise the required additional capital or debt financing to meet short and long-term operating requirements. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company had $262,398 of expenses that were paid directly by GPR, a related party and the Company’s convertible note line of credit with GPR was increased by this same amount. (See Note 6). Management believes that private placements of equity capital and/or additional debt financing will be needed to fund our long-term operating requirements. The Company may also encounter business endeavors that require significant cash commitments or unanticipated problems or expenses that could result in a requirement for additional cash. If the Company raises additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our current shareholders could be reduced, and such securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to our common stock. Additional financing may not be available upon acceptable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, the Company may not be able to take advantage of prospective business endeavors or opportunities, which could significantly and materially restrict our operations. We are continuing to pursue external financing alternatives to improve our working capital position. If the Company is unable to obtain the necessary capital, the Company may have to cease operations.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ACRG, and its wholly owned subsidiary Aurielle Enterprises, Inc., (f/k/a Tonopah Milling and Metals Group, Inc.) and its wholly owned subsidiaries Tonopah Custom Processing, Inc., and Tonopah Resources, Inc., and since being acquired in September 2023, SWIS LLC. All significant intercompany transactions, accounts and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared using the accrual method of accounting in accordance with U.S. GAAP and considering the requirements of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

~~Cash~~Going Concern

WeThe ~~maintain~~accompanying ~~our~~consolidated ~~cash~~financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in ~~high-quality~~the ~~financial~~normal ~~institutions~~course of business. The ~~balances~~Company has incurred recurring losses and as of December 31, at2024, ~~times~~had an accumulated deficit of $113,553,937. For ~~may~~the ~~exceed~~year ~~federally~~ended ~~insured~~December ~~limits~~31, ~~however~~2024, the Company ~~has~~sustained a net loss of $5,932,550. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months from the date these financial statements were issued. These financial statements do not ~~experienced~~include any ~~losses~~adjustments ~~with~~relating ~~respect~~to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to ~~uninsured~~continue ~~balances~~as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is contingent upon its ability to obtain additional financing and to generate revenue and cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis. The Company will continue to seek to raise additional funding through debt or equity financing during the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these financial statements. There is no guarantee the Company will be successful in achieving obtaining additional funding and may have to cease operations.

~~Long-Lived~~Principles ~~Assets~~of Consolidation

~~Developed Technology~~F-8

The Company amortizes its developed technology over its useful life. The useful life of the developed technology is calculated based on the number of years remaining on the patent. The SWIS developed technology has a remaining useful life of 14 years.

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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates may pertain to impairment of intangible assets and mining rights, useful lives of intangible assets and contingent liabilities.

~~Revenue~~Segment ~~Recognition and Deferred Revenue~~Information

AsOperating segments are identified as components of ~~December~~an 31enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker, or ~~2023~~decision-making group, wein ~~have~~making ~~recorded~~decisions noregarding ~~revenues~~resource allocation and assessing performance. To date, the Company has viewed its operations and manages its business as principally one operating segment, which is mining gold and silver from ~~custom~~their ~~permitted~~Tonopah ~~processing~~property. The ~~toll~~Company’s ~~milling~~Chief Executive Officer and Chairwoman of the Board of Directors, Tawana Bain, serves as the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM). IfThe weCODM ~~achieve~~evaluates ~~revenue~~performance ~~generation~~and makes operating decisions about allocating resources based on net loss or income and cash balances presented in the accompanying statement of operations and balance sheet, respectively.

FTransactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm’s-7length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free market dealings may not exist. Representations about transactions with related parties, if made, shall not imply that the related party transactions were consummated on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm’s-length transactions unless such representations can be substantiated.

AtMineral December 31, 2023 and 2022, the number of equivalent shares of convertible notes payable of zero and 846,499 respectively, were excluded from the diluted weighted average common share calculation due to the antidilutive effect such shares would have on net loss per common share.Rights

The Company capitalizes acquisition costs until the Company determines the economic viability of the property. The Company has not established proven or probable reserves for any of its projects. The Company reviews the carrying value of our mineral rights and properties for impairment, including mineral rights upon the occurrence of events or changes in circumstances that indicate the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Our estimate of precious metal prices, mineralized materials, operating capital, and reclamation costs are subject to risks and uncertainties affecting the recoverability of our investment in all of our properties. Although the Company has made our best, most current estimate of these factors, it is possible that near term changes could adversely affect estimated net cash flows from our properties and mineral claims, and possibly require future asset impairment write-downs. Where estimates of future net operating cash flows are not available and where other conditions suggest impairment, the Company assesses recoverability of carrying value from other means, including net cash flows generated by the sale of the asset.

F-9

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets consist of developed technology acquired in the SWIS acquisition. The Company amortizes its developed technology over its useful life under the straight-line method. The useful life of the developed technology is calculated based on the number of years remaining on the patent. The SWIS developed technology has a remaining useful life of 14 years. The intangible asset is evaluated for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently whenever events or circumstances occur indicating that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

Redeemable Series A Preferred Stock

The Company applies the guidance in ASC 480 to determine the classification and measurement of preferred stock. Preferred stock that is mandatorily redeemable is classified as a liability and measured in accordance with ASC 480. Preferred stock that is conditionally redeemable, including instruments with redemption features that are either at the option of the holder or contingent upon events outside the Company’s control, is classified as mezzanine equity in accordance with ASC 480-10-S99. All other preferred stock is classified in stockholders’ equity. Mezzanine equity is initially recorded at its original issuance price. It is subsequently measured at its redemption value when the instrument becomes currently redeemable or when it becomes probable that it will be redeemed. As the Series A Preferred Stock includes redemption features that are outside the Company’s control, it is classified as mezzanine equity and is currently recorded at its original issuance price, as the instrument is not currently redeemable and redemption is not considered probable.

Revenue Recognition

As of December 31, 2024, we have recorded no revenues from custom permitted processing toll milling. If we achieve revenue generation, the Company plans to report such revenues consistent with ASC Topic 606 Revenues from Contracts with Customers. The Company recognizes revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Significant judgments are required in determining the transaction price and the timing of revenue recognition.

Stock-Based Compensation

The stock-based payments are accounted for in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation. The Company measures the estimated fair value of the stock-based award on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model (“Black-Scholes Model”) and recognizes compensation expense for those awards over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the respective award. The Black-Scholes Model requires the use of a number of assumptions including volatility of the stock price, the weighted average risk-free interest rate, and the vesting period in determining the fair value of stock-based awards. The expected term is based on the “simplified method”, due to the Company’s limited stock award history. Under this method, the term is estimated using the weighted average of the service vesting period and contractual term of the option award. As the Company Class A common stock has a limited history in the public markets, the Company has identified several public entities of similar size, complexities and industry and calculates historical volatility based on the volatilities of these companies. Although the Company believes its assumptions used to calculate stock-based compensation expenses are reasonable, these assumptions can involve complex judgments about future events, which are open to interpretation and inherent uncertainty. In addition, significant changes to our assumptions could significantly impact the amount of expense recorded in a given period. The Company accounts for forfeitures in the period in which they occur, rather than estimate expected forfeitures.

F-10

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. Cash and cash equivalents of the Company are exposed to credit risk, subject to federal deposit insurance, in the event of default by the financial institutions holding its cash and cash equivalents to the extent of amounts recorded on the balance sheet. The cash accounts are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company’s cash balance did not exceed the FDIC insured limit.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company accounts for financial instruments under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements. This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels as follows:

Level 1 —

quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 —

observable inputs other than Level 1, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, and model-derived prices whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable; and

Level 3 —

assets and liabilities whose significant value drivers are unobservable.

The Company applies fair value accounting for all assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements. The carrying amounts reported in the financial statements for cash, accounts payables and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature.

Loss Contingencies

Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management and its legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pended against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company’s legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material, would be disclosed.

Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the nature of the guarantee would be disclosed.

~~Accounting~~Basic guidance requires the recognition of a financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the consolidated financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. The Company believes its income tax filing positions and ~~deductions~~Diluted ~~will~~Net beLoss ~~sustained upon~~Per examination and accordingly, no reserves, or related accruals for interest and penalties have been recorded at December 31, 2023 and 2022. The Company recognizes interest and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits as well as interest received from favorable tax settlements within income tax expense.Share

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted net loss per share of common shares includes the effect, if any, from the potential exercise or conversion of securities, such as convertible debt, share options and warrants, which would result in the issuance of incremental shares of common shares. For diluted net loss per share, the weighted-average number of common shares is the same for basic net loss per share due to the fact that when a net loss exists, dilutive securities are not included in the calculation as the impact is anti-dilutive. For all periods presented, basic and diluted net loss per share are the same, as any additional share equivalents would be anti-dilutive.

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company convertible promissory note – related party was convertible into 432,805 and 149,954 shares of common stock respectively.

7. Stockholders’ Deficit and Mezzanine Equity

Preferred Stock

The Series A Preferred Stock is presented as mezzanine equity due to its rights and preferences.

Attributes of Series A Preferred Stock include but are not limited to the following:

Distribution in Liquidation

The Series A Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference of $10,000,000, payable only upon certain liquidity events or upon the achievement of a market value of our equity equaling $200,000,000 or more. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, and after paying or adequately providing for the payment of all its obligations, the remainder of the assets of the Company shall be distributed, either in cash or in kind, first pro rata to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock in an amount equal to the Liquidation Value (as described below); then, to any other series of Preferred Stock, until an amount to be determined by a resolution of the Board of Directors prior to issuances of such Preferred Stock, has been distributed per share, and, then, the remainder pro rata to the holders of the Common Stock. Upon the occurrence of any Liquidation Event (as defined below), each holder of Series A Preferred Stock will receive a payment equal to the Original Issue Price for each share of Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder (the “Liquidation Value”). A “Liquidation Event” will have occurred when:

The Company has an average market capitalization (calculated by adding the value of all outstanding shares of Common Stock valued at the Company’s closing sale price on the OTC Market or other applicable bulletin board or exchange, plus the value of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock at the Original Issue Price per share) of $200,000,000 or more over any 90 day period. The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock would have the right, for 30 days after the end of such qualifying 90 day measurement period, to require the Company to purchase the Series A Preferred Stock for an amount equal to the Liquidation Value.

●

Any Liquidity Event in which the Company receives proceeds of $50,000,000 or more.

Effective June 3, 2024, the Company executed a Memorandum of Understanding for a Joint Venture with AMI Strategies, (“AMI”). The Parties intend to form a joint operation and utilize the technology and talent of both organizations for their mutual benefit which includes the Company’s planned renewable energy generation, specifically solar power through the operation, engineering, infrastructure, and construction of controlled solar power and AMI’s management of utility costs through a proprietary software platform that can bill, audit, invoice and manage the daily operations of suppliers and clients.

~~Management decisions~~About are made annually and could cause the estimates above to vary significantly. As of December 31, 2023, the Company revised the estimate of its deferred tax asset, and corresponding valuation allowance, for prior years in the amount of approximately $798,000. AMI:

As of December 31, 2024, the Company had approximately $35,623,000 of federal net operating loss carry forwards. These carry forwards, if not used, will begin to expire in 2028. Future utilization of their net operating loss carry forwards is subject to certain limitations under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. The Company believes that the issuance of their common stock in exchange for the Shea Mining and Milling properties in March of 2011 resulted in an “ownership change” under the rules and regulations of Section 382. Accordingly, the Company’s ability to utilize their net operating losses of $69,000,000 generated prior to this date is limited to approximately $1,000,000 annually.

As of December 31, 2024, we do not believe any of our net operating loss carry forward consists of deductions generated by the exercise of warrants or options to purchase our stock. In the future, the stock options referenced in the above table of deferred tax items may be exercised and we may receive a tax deduction. To the extent that the tax deduction is included in a net operating loss carry forward and is in excess of amounts recognized for book purposes, no benefit will be recognized until the loss carry forward is recognized. Upon utilization and realization of the carry forward, the corresponding change in the deferred asset and valuation allowance will be recorded as additional paid-in capital.

We provide for a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that we will not realize a portion of the deferred tax assets. We have established a valuation allowance against our net deferred tax asset due to the uncertainty that enough taxable income will be generated in those taxing jurisdictions to utilize the assets. Therefore, we have not reflected any benefit of such deferred tax assets in the accompanying financial statements.

~~We reviewed all income tax positions taken or that we expect to be taken for all open years and determined that our income tax positions are appropriately stated and supported for all open years~~. The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations by tax authorities for years after 2011 due to unexpired net operating loss carryforwards originating in and subsequent to that year. The Company may be subject to income tax examinations for the various taxing authorities which vary by jurisdiction.

11. Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements

As described in Note 2 the Company determined that it was necessary to re-evaluate its accounting treatment for its debt obligations. The Company identified accrued interest calculations were performed incorrectly and borrowing on its related party promissory note with GPR included borrowings that weren’t related to the Company operations and should have not been included in the principal balance. Certain previously reported amounts within the financial statements did not mathematically reconcile (i.e., did not foot). These amounts are presented herein as originally reported in the previously issued financial statements for transparency and consistency. The restatement corrects these errors and reflects the appropriate adjustments. Below are the Company’s restated consolidated balance sheets, statement of operations, statement of stockholders’ deficit and statement of cash flows with the adjustments for the periods stated in the tables below.

AMERICAN CLEAN RESOURCES GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO UNADUITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2024

1. Nature of Business

American Clean Resources Group, Inc. f/k/a Standard Metals Processing, Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our,” “ACRG” or the “Company”) is an exploration stage company, incorporated in Nevada. The Company’s primary business plan is to purchase equipment and build a facility on the Tonopah property to serve as a permitted custom processing toll milling facility while it explores new technologies that allow greater effectiveness in achieving industry sustainability goals (which includes an analytical lab, pyrometallurgical plant, and hydrometallurgical recovery plant).

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred recurring losses and as of September 30, 2024, had an accumulated deficit of $108,656,710. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company sustained a net loss of $1,035,323. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months from the date these financial statements were issued. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is contingent upon its ability to obtain additional financing and to generate revenue and cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis. The Company will continue to seek to raise additional funding through debt or equity financing during the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these financial statements. There is no guarantee the Company will be successful in achieving obtaining additional funding and may have to cease operations.

F-31

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, and its wholly owned subsidiary Aurielle Enterprises, Inc., (f/k/a Tonopah Milling and Metals Group, Inc.) and its wholly owned subsidiaries Tonopah Custom Processing, Inc., and Tonopah Resources, Inc., and since being acquired in September 2023, SWIS LLC. All significant intercompany transactions, accounts and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

Revenue Recognition

As of September 30, 2024, we have recorded no revenues from custom permitted processing toll milling. If we achieve revenue generation, the Company plans to report such revenues consistent with ASC Topic 606 Revenues from Contracts with Customers. The Company recognizes revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Significant judgments are required in determining the transaction price and the timing of revenue recognition.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Level 1 —

quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 —

Level 3 —

assets and liabilities whose significant value drivers are unobservable.

F-32

Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company convertible promissory note – related party was convertible into 369,370 and 149,954 shares of common stock respectively.

Recent Accounting Standards

On November 27, 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures,” which requires incremental disclosures related to an entity’s reportable segments, effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023. The Company plans to adopt ASU 2023-07 on December 31, 2024.

The FASB and other entities issued new or modifications to, or interpretations of, existing accounting guidance during 2024. Management has carefully considered the new pronouncements that altered generally accepted accounting principles and does not believe that any other new or modified principles will have a material impact on the Company’s reported financial position or operations in the near term.

Restatement of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements

During the third quarter of 2024, and prior to the filing of the Company’s Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company determined that it was necessary to re-evaluate the Company’s accounting treatment for certain debt obligations. In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletins No. 99 (SAB No. 99) Topic 1.M, “Materiality” and SAB No. 99 Topic 1.N “Considering the Effects of Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in the Current Year Financial Statements,” the Company assessed the materiality of these errors to its previously issued consolidated financial statements. Based upon the Company’s evaluation of both quantitative and qualitative factors, the Company concluded the errors were material to the Company’s previously issued consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. Accordingly, the Company intends to file its Restated Consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. Additionally, the Company has restated its previously filed unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods ended March 31, 2023, June 30, 2023, and September 30, 2023. These restated interim financial statements are included within this Form 10-K. See Note 9 for further information regarding the nature of the errors and the impact of the restatements.

3. Mineral rights

The Company has continued to assess the realizability of its Mineral rights. Based on an assessment the Company conducted during 2024, the Company decided the combined carrying value of its land, mineral rights, and water rights of $3,883,524 was fairly stated and not exposed to impairment.

NOTES TO UNADUITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 AND 2023

Nature of Business

American Clean Resources Group, Inc. f/k/a Standard Metals Processing, Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our,” “ACRG” or the “Company”) is an exploration stage company, incorporated in Nevada. The Company’s primary business plan is to purchase equipment and build a facility on the Tonopah property to serve as a permitted custom processing toll milling facility while it explores new technologies that allow greater effectiveness in achieving industry sustainability goals (which includes an analytical lab, pyrometallurgical plant, and hydrometallurgical recovery plant).

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred recurring losses and as of June 30, 2024, had an accumulated deficit of $108,318,637. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company sustained a net loss of $697,250. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months from the date these financial statements were issued. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is contingent upon its ability to obtain additional financing and to generate revenue and cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis. The Company will continue to seek to raise additional funding through debt or equity financing during the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these financial statements. There is no guarantee the Company will be successful in achieving obtaining additional funding and may have to cease operations.

Principles of Consolidation

F-51

Use of Estimates

Revenue Recognition

As of June 30, 2024, we have recorded no revenues from custom permitted processing toll milling. If we achieve revenue generation, the Company plans to report such revenues consistent with ASC Topic 606 Revenues from Contracts with Customers. The Company recognizes revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Significant judgments are required in determining the transaction price and the timing of revenue recognition.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Level 1 —

quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 —

Level 3 —

assets and liabilities whose significant value drivers are unobservable.

Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company convertible promissory note – related party was convertible into 354,031 and 149,954 shares of common stock respectively.

F-52

Recent Accounting Standards

The FASB and other entities issued new or modifications to, or interpretations of, existing accounting guidance during 2024. Management has carefully considered the new pronouncements that altered generally accepted accounting principles and does not believe that any other new or modified principles will have a material impact on the Company’s reported financial position or operations in the near term.

Restatement of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements

During the third quarter of 2024, and prior to the filing of the Company’s Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company determined that it was necessary to re-evaluate the Company’s accounting treatment for certain debt obligations. In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletins No. 99 (SAB No. 99) Topic 1.M, “Materiality” and SAB No. 99 Topic 1.N “Considering the Effects of Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in the Current Year Financial Statements,” the Company assessed the materiality of these errors to its previously issued consolidated financial statements. Based upon the Company’s evaluation of both quantitative and qualitative factors, the Company concluded the errors were material to the Company’s previously issued consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. Accordingly, the Company intends to file its Restated Consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. Additionally, the Company has restated its previously filed unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods ended March 31, 2023, June 30, 2023, and September 30, 2023. These restated interim financial statements are included within this Form 10-K. See Note 9 for further information regarding the nature of the errors. and the impact of the restatements.
