MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 and our audited financial statements as of the year ended December 31, 2025, included in Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on April 15, 2026. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to those differences include, but are not limited to, those identified below and those discussed in the sections titled "Risk Factors" and "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" included elsewhere in this report. Additionally, our historical results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected in any future period. Amounts are presented in U.S. dollars.
Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" to "we," "us," "our" and "the Company" generally refer to Global Hydrogen in in the present tense or Global Gas from and after the Business Combination.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This report contains certain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the "PSLRA"). Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as "anticipate," "believe," "continue," "could," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "may," "might," "plan," "possible," "potential," "predict," "project," "should," "would," "will," "shall," "seek," "result," "become," "target" or other similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters, but the absence of these words does not mean a statement is not forward looking. Indications of, and guidance or outlook on, future earnings, dividends or financial position or performance are also forward looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: (1) references with respect to the anticipated benefits of the proposed Business Combination and anticipated closing timing; (2) the anticipated capitalization and enterprise value of the combined company following the consummation of the proposed Business Combination; (3) current and future potential commercial and customer relationships; and (4) anticipated demand for New Global's product and service offerings.
These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially, and potentially adversely, from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are predictions, projections and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions and, as a result, are subject to risks and uncertainties. Most of these factors are outside the Company's control and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: (i) risks relating to the uncertainty of the projected financial information with respect to Global Hydrogen; (ii) risks relating to Global Hydrogen's operations and business, including its ability to raise financing, hire employees, secure supplier, customer and other commercial contracts, obtain licenses and information technology and protect itself against cybersecurity risks; (iii) intense competition and competitive pressures from other companies worldwide in the industries in which it operates; (iv) litigation and the ability to adequately protect its intellectual property rights; (v) changes in applicable laws or regulations; and (vi) the possibility that Global Hydrogen may be adversely affected by other economic, business and/or competitive factors.
These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing the Company's assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this report. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.
Overview
Global Gas Corporation is a nascent pure-play hydrogen and carbon recovery project developer and industrial gas supplier that has commenced initial operations and is building a growing project development pipeline. Potential projects are added to the project development pipeline only after Global Hydrogen has met with the potential customer, discussed the scope of the project and discussed the project's feasibility, preliminary sizing and design. Since its inception, Global Hydrogen has worked to establish relationships in the form of channel checks with non-exclusive independent equipment suppliers and discussions with vendors. As we expand our operations, we intend to offer potential customers reliable, low-carbon and clean hydrogen, pure carbon dioxide, and other gases generated from a variety of feedstocks. We intend for our operations to include (i) the sourcing, identification, evaluation and vetting of offtake customers seeking to purchase industrial gases, (ii) the securing of local feedstocks, equipment, and utilities, (iii) the planning and management of projects and (iv) the structuring and financing of our projects. We intend to offer our customers attractive pricing as we select and secure local, often waste, feedstock, and plan to deploy established industrial gas generation, storage, compression, and dispensing technologies in our projects. On each planned project, we seek to sell multiple gas products, sourced from a single feedstock, for offtake to customers. We also intend to utilize and bring to market secondary offtake products such as oxygen. Global Hydrogen is currently a minority-owned business and we are targeting both privately- and publicly-funded hydrogen development and selected carbon recovery projects, including projects supported by local, county, state, and national-level governments in North America, Western Europe, and Great Britain.
In selecting feedstock to generate industrial gases, we will primarily target renewable waste and will need to seek arrangements with owners of renewable waste feedstock, such as wastewater treatment plants, landfills, food waste processing facilities, and agricultural farms, to access their renewable waste feedstock. In addition to generating industrial gases from renewable waste feedstock, we plan to generate gases from non-renewable sources including pipeline natural gas. We will need to seek arrangement with owners of such non-renewable feedstock. On projects where a non-renewable, or high greenhouse gas output, energy source is used, as well as on selected other projects where such technology is required to produce clean hydrogen, we may deploy carbon recovery technology - more commonly known as carbon capture technology.
On the hydrogen side, we seek to serve traditional industrial gas customers, and are particularly focused on plans to serve the rapidly growing hydrogen-as-energy-carrier market, comprising heavy duty hauling transportation operators such as transit bus agencies, long haul truck fleet operators, truck leasing operators, and refuse collection truck operators, many of whom are considering deploying hydrogen fuel cell powertrain vehicles to decarbonize their fleets which currently runs almost exclusively on diesel. On the carbon dioxide side, we target both traditional industrial users of the gas, including food & beverage grade users such as brewers and beverage bottlers requiring carbonation, as well as emerging users such as the producers of green building materials.
Growth Strategy
Our growth strategy is based on developing our ability to place modular generation, recovery, storage, and dispensing solutions in closer geographic proximity to our end customers - onsite in many cases - and our ability to produce and sell multiple outputs from a single feedstock input. We hope that these plans, if successfully carried out, will allow us to produce clean hydrogen and carbon dioxide at a net cost normally seen only in larger scale plants and which supports competitive market prices for our end products. Additionally, governments at all levels in North America and Western Europe have and are deploying substantial incentives to mitigate the impact of climate change and to decarbonize their economies. We believe we are well-placed to benefit as a developer of projects eligible for several of these incentives, such as the hydrogen tax production credits and the investment tax credits made available in the United States through the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.
Global Hydrogen management actively reviews its project development pipeline and activity with potential customers. Potential projects are added to the project development pipeline only after Global Hydrogen has met with the potential customer, discussed the scope of the project and discussed the project's feasibility, preliminary sizing and design. Management has determined that its projections are reasonable based on its review and status of its potential projects. Global Hydrogen has not yet successfully closed on any project.
Global Hydrogen is headquartered in New York, New York and its corporate website is globalhydrogen.co. Global Hydrogen's website and the information contained on, or that can be accessed through, such website is not deemed to be incorporated by reference in, and is not considered part of, this proxy statement.
While Global Hydrogen does not have significant past operating history, Global Hydrogen's management is aware that the future operating results and future financial condition of Global Hydrogen may be different than our past operating results and financial condition. Major factors that will have a material impact on future financial results and condition include whether Global Hydrogen will be able to sign contracts with customers and suppliers necessary to undertake the business plan. Even if such contracts are signed, our business plan is complex and there are many factors which could impact our operating results and financial condition including delays in projects, volatility in the price of our raw materials and products, and volatility in the demand for our services and products.
Results of Operations
The following tables sets forth our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, and the dollar and percentage change between the two periods:
Revenue
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recognized $33,012 of revenue from a project recognized on a net basis.
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses decreased by $45,530 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily related to a decrease in legal fees and professional fees.
Interest income
For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company earned $358 and $885, respectively, of interest income on cash balances at bank.
Interest expense
For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company incurred $3,378 and $4,353, respectively, of interest expense on its convertible promissory notes.
Change in fair value of warrants liabilities
The change in fair value of warrant liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 of $1,340 and $4,040, respectively, is recognized into other income on the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since inception, the Company's primary sources of liquidity have been cash flows from contributions from a member and a related party and from revenue from customers. The Company had $5,472 in cash, a working capital deficit of $299,776, and an accumulated deficit of $440,748 as of March 31, 2026.
In the future, the Company may borrow money and sell equity to finance its operations. As the Company has a limited operating history, its liquidity and capital resources may change substantially from past results.
The Company's future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the Company's revenue growth rate, the timing and extent of spending to support further sales and marketing and research and development efforts. In order to finance these opportunities, the Company will need to raise additional financing. While there can be no assurances, the Company intends to raise such capital through issuances of additional equity. If additional financing is required from outside sources, the Company may not be able to raise it on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital when desired, the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition would be materially and adversely affected.
As a result of the above, in connection with the Company's assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board's ("FASB") ASC Subtopic 205-40, "Going Concern," management has determined that the Company's liquidity condition raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern through twelve months from the date these condensed consolidated financial statements are available to be issued. These condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025
The following table summarizes cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:
Cash flows from operating activities
Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $43,241, primarily related to net loss and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses.
Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $39,413, primarily related to net loss for the period and a decrease contract liabilities.
Cash flows from financing activities
Net cash used in financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $707, consisting of payment to a related party.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that impact the amounts reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised, if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods, if the revision affects both current and future periods.
A summary of our significant accounting policies is included in Note 3, "Summary of significant accounting policies" to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. Certain of our accounting policies are considered critical, as these policies require significant, difficult or complex judgments by management, often requiring the use of estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain.
Fair Value Measurement
We determine the fair value of financial assets and liabilities using the fair value hierarchy established in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement ("ASC 820"). ASC 820 identifies fair value as the exchange price, or exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The hierarchy describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value, as follows:
Stock - Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with the fair value recognition provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") No. 718. The Company issues restricted stock to employees and officers. Costs for these transactions are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments issued at the date of grant.
Warrants
The Company reviews the terms of warrants to purchase its common stock to determine whether warrants should be classified as liabilities or stockholders' deficit in its condensed consolidated balance sheets. In order for a warrant to be classified in stockholders' deficit, the warrant must (i) be indexed to the Company's equity and (ii) meet the conditions for equity classification.
If a warrant does not meet the conditions for stockholders' deficit classification, it is carried on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as a warrant liability measured at fair value, with subsequent changes in the fair value of the warrant recorded in other non-operating losses (gains) in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. If a warrant meets both conditions for equity classification, the warrant is initially recorded, at its relative fair value on the date of issuance, in stockholders' deficit in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, and the amount initially recorded is not subsequently remeasured at fair value.
Income taxes
The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under FASB ASC 740, which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the condensed consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
FASB ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and the measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
The Company is expected to be an "emerging growth company" as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the "Securities Act"), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the "JOBS Act"). The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. Thus, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. The Company has elected to take advantage of the extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards and to adopt certain of the reduced disclosure requirements available to emerging growth companies. As a result of the accounting standards election, the Company will not be subject to the same implementation timeline for new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies which may make comparison of the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements to those of other public companies more difficult.
For the impact of recently issued accounting pronouncements on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements, see Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and incorporated herein by reference.
Intellectual Property
Global Hydrogen does not currently hold material intellectual property beyond certain logos and domain names assigned to the Company by William Bennett Nance, Jr., the former Chief Executive Officer and Founder of Global Hydrogen and a former director of the Company.
Government Regulation
Global Hydrogen plans to own and operate hydrogen generation plants and to sell the resulting industrial gas. In many jurisdictions, hydrogen, oxygen, and other gases we will produce and sell, may be classified as fuel or controlled substances, and as such we may be required to obtain relevant licensing to produce, store, and sell such substances. We intend to acquire such licenses on a project by project and jurisdiction by jurisdiction basis.
Some of these gas generation plants we build or own may be in jurisdictions where CO2 emissions are subject to government regulation. When we produce hydrogen thermochemically, we will typically deploy carbon recovery systems to significantly reduce - below relevant jurisdictional limits - or eliminate the CO2 emissions which otherwise would be released to the atmosphere.
The construction of facilities that produce hydrogen will require compliance with government regulation, including local zoning and permitting requirements, such requirements will depend on the jurisdiction of each project.
The distribution of hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and oxygen will require compliance with certain regulatory federal and state regimes and will depend on the relevant jurisdictions.
