Blue Biofuels, Inc.
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION
Blue Biofuels, Inc., was incorporated in Nevada on March 28, 2012, as Alliance Media Group Holdings, Inc. Since December 2013, Blue Biofuels, Inc. (the “Company”) has been a technology company focused on emerging technologies in renewable energy, biofuels, and lignin.
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN
The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern, which assumes the Company will realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not generated any significant revenue since inception and has incurred losses since inception. As of March 31, 2026, the Company has incurred accumulated losses of $60,794,163. The Company expects to incur significant additional losses and liabilities in connection with its start-up and commercialization activities. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities when they become due and to generate sufficient revenues from its operations to pay its operating expenses. These financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classifications of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classifications of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty. There are no assurances that the Company will continue as a going concern.
Management believes that the Company’s future success is dependent upon its ability to achieve profitable operations, generate cash from operating activities, and obtain additional financing. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to generate sufficient cash from operations, or sell additional shares of stock or borrow additional funds. The Company’s inability to obtain additional cash could have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations, and its ability to continue in existence.
NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The condensed financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The condensed financial statements do not include all disclosures required of annual financial statements and, accordingly, should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.
| 8 |
Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2026, may not be indicative of full year 2026 results.
In management’s opinion, the accompanying condensed financial statements contain all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of our financial position as of March 31, 2026, and our results of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
Basic net earnings per share amounts have been calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each reporting period. Diluted earnings per share has been calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares plus the potentially dilutive effect of securities such as common stock that potentially could be issued upon the conversion of convertible notes or upon the exercise of outstanding options and warrants. The computation of potential common shares has been performed using the treasury stock method.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, due to net losses, all potential dilutive securities are antidilutive. There are a total of common shares that would be issued if all warrants, vested options, and convertible notes were exercised.
Grant Income
Government grants income is recognized in earnings on a systematic basis in a manner that mirrors the manner in which the Company recognizes the underlying costs for which the grant is intended to compensate. A grant receivable is recognized for expenses or losses already incurred but for which grant funding has not yet been received. Grant funding received in excess of expenses or losses incurred is recognized as deferred revenue.
The Company has adopted the disclosure requirements of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 832 Government Assistance.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires disclosure about the types of costs and expenses included in certain expense captions presented on the income statement. The new disclosure requirements are effective for the Company’s annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted, and may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the ASU to determine its impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other standard setting bodies that may have an impact on the Company’s accounting and reporting. The Company believes that such recently issued accounting pronouncements and other authoritative guidance for which the effective date is in the future either will not have an impact on its accounting or reporting or that such impact will not be material to its financial position, results of operations, and cash flows when implemented.

Business Overview
Blue Biofuels, Inc., was incorporated in Nevada on March 28, 2012, as Alliance Media Group Holdings, Inc. Since December 2013, Blue Biofuels, Inc. (the “Company”) has been a technology company focused on emerging technologies in renewable energy, biofuels, and lignin.
In early 2018, our chief executive officer (“CEO”) Ben Slager invented a new technology system referred to as Cellulose-to-Sugar or CTS, and, to date, the Company filed, and received, three patents for this technology. The CTS process is a continuous mechanical/chemical process for converting cellulose material into sugar and lignin. Three additional patent applications have been filed and are pending.
The CTS system converts plant-based feedstock into one primary product, soluble sugars, which can be further processed into cellulosic ethanol and other biofuels like jet fuel, bio-gasoline, and potentially into bio chemicals.
In 2025, the Company finalized the upscaling, testing, and optimizing of the pilot plant and is in the process of finalizing design and operational parameters for cost estimates of a full-scale commercial volume system.
In addition, the Company has licensed the Vertimass Process to convert ethanol into sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and other renewable biofuels including bio-gasoline.
Plan of Operation
The total process from cellulosic feedstock to SAF consists basically of three steps:
| 1) | Conversion from feedstock to fermentable cellulosic sugars (CTS) | |
| 2) | Ferment the cellulosic sugars into cellulosic ethanol. | |
| 3) | Covert the ethanol into SAF and related products. This third step happens with the Vertimass technology which the Company has licensed. |
In January 2024, the Company formed a 50-50 joint venture partnership with Vertimass called VertiBlue Fuels, LLC, that has the mission to build an ethanol-to-SAF facility in Florida with the initial goal to produce around 10-25 million gallons of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), and then expand SAF production to approximately 70 million gallon per year. VertiBlue Fuels plans to initially convert sugarcane ethanol, and then, as soon as the Company’s first CTS technology factory is finalized, switch to cellulosic ethanol. The plan is to build commercial CTS and ethanol facilities on the front-end of ethanol-to-SAF facilities to produce cellulosic SAF and generate the large D7 RIN and other government credits. Commencing commercial production will require project financing.
After its first plant is profitable, the Company intends to grow with additional plants in the United States and explore international growth by either licensing the CTS technology or forming joint ventures with foreign domestic partners to build plants.
The Company believes that its management and consultants have significant experience in the development of technologies from concept to commercialization. As of this date, the Company has not generated any material revenues from its business.

From January 1, 2026, through the date of filing, the Company issued an aggregate of 230,000 warrants for interest on notes to a related party.
From January 1, 2026, through the date of filing, the Company issued an aggregate of 1,816,000 shares and warrants for $227,000 in a private placement.
From January 1, 2026, through the date of filing, the Company issued an aggregate of 1,250,000 shares for the exercise of warrants and received proceeds of $125,000.

From January 1, 2026, through the date of filing, 10,000 vested options expired.
Going Concern
The Company has incurred losses since inception, has a working capital deficiency, and may be unable to raise further capital. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had a working capital deficit of $3,098,898 and had incurred accumulated losses of $60,794,163 since its inception. The Company expects to incur significant additional losses in connection with its continued start-up activities. As a result, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern based upon recurring operating losses and its need to obtain additional financing to sustain operations. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities when they become due and to generate sufficient revenues from its operations to pay its operating expenses.
Results of Operations
Comparison of the three month period ended March 31, 2026 to March 31, 2025
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recognized $0 in revenue as opposed to $0 in 2025.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company’s general and administrative expenses decreased by $63,513 to $274,585 from $338,098 in 2025. This decrease is primarily the result of $56,199 in consulting expenses in 2025 versus $20,744 in 2026.
Interest expense increased in the quarter ended March 31, 2026 by $4,303 from $0 in 2025.
Research and development (R&D) costs for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, were $384,913, an increase of $34,206 from $350,707 in 2025. The increase in R&D expenses is primarily the result of equity-based compensation of $75,317 in 2026 versus $54,456 in 2025.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $8,665 in cash and cash equivalents, and total stockholders’ deficit on March 31, 2026, was $3,936,726. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $65,200 in cash and cash equivalents, and total stockholders’ deficit at December 31, 2025, was $3,706,083. Total debt, including convertible notes, accounts payable and other notes payable at March 31, 2026, together with interest payable thereon and legacy liabilities, was $5,246,366 an increase of $132,904 from December 31, 2025, where it stood at $5,113,462. This increase is primarily attributable to an increase in deferred wages of $155,925.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company’s net cash used in operating activities was $418,535 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $13,416 in the three months ending March 31, 2025. This is primarily attributed to a higher net loss in 2026 due to grant income in 2025.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company generated an aggregate of $372,000 versus $100,000 through its financing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2025, which is an increase of $272,000. This increase from the prior year can primarily be attributed to net proceeds of $227,000 in a private placement and $125,000 from the exercise of warrants versus $100,000 for the issuance of notes payable in 2025 versus $20,000 in 2026.

Capital Resources
At this time, the Company has limited liquidity and capital resources. To continue funding its operations, the Company will need to generate revenue or obtain additional financing for current and future operations. The Company anticipates needing additional funds for G&A expenses and will seek project financing for a commercial ethanol to SAF facility in addition to funds needed to complete the commercialization of its CTS system. There is no guarantee that the Company will achieve all of the additional funding that is needed.
As of the date of this filing, in 2026 the Company has raised $352,000 through the issuance of shares and $170,000 from the issuance of notes. The Company previously raised $17,974,375 in shares and $2,245,916 through converted notes and $1,515,000 in debt or convertible notes since inception. However, there is no guarantee that the Company will be able to raise any additional capital on terms acceptable to the Company.
The inability to obtain this funding either in the near term and/or longer term will materially affect the ability of the Company to implement its business plan of operations and jeopardize the viability of the Company. In that case, the Company may need to reevaluate and revise its operations.
Equity
As of March 31, 2026, shareholders’ deficit was $3,936,726.
There were 320,948,112 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2026.
There were no preferred shares outstanding.
The Company has paid no dividends.
