Current report
Any disruption in the operations of the U.S. government, including as a result of the recent or future temporary or prolonged shutdowns resulting from the failure of Congress to enact appropriations bills or raise the federal debt ceiling, could materially and adversely affect our business, operations and financial condition. Recently, beginning on October 1, 2025, the U.S. federal government shut down and remained shut down through November 12, 2025, and again beginning on January 31, 2026 through February 3, 2026, during which times certain regulatory agencies, such as the FDA and the SEC, furloughed critical employees and stopped critical activities. During such shutdowns, while the SEC’s EDGAR system remains operational, the unavailability of the SEC staff to review filings, issue and resolve comments, or declare registration statements effective may delay our ability to complete public offerings and obtain timely regulatory approvals. These delays could impact our access to capital markets, hinder strategic transactions, and create uncertainty around our disclosure obligations. Additionally, the lack of interpretive guidance or exemptive relief during a shutdown may increase legal and compliance risks. There can be no assurance that future shutdowns will not materially affect our operations or financial condition.
Current report
Under the February 2026 Purchase Agreement, we are subject to certain restrictive covenants that may make it difficult to procure additional financing.
Current report
The February 2026 Purchase Agreement contains, among others, the following restrictive covenants: (A) from the date of the Purchase Agreement between us and certain investors until 30 days following the later of (a) the earliest of the date that (i) the initial registration statement registering for resale all shares issuable upon conversion of the 2026 Notes (the “Conversion Shares”) has been declared effective by the SEC, (ii) all of the Conversion Shares and February Warrant Shares have been sold pursuant to Rule 144 or may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions, (iii) following the one year anniversary of the Closing Date provided that a holder of Conversion Shares and October Warrant Shares is not an affiliate of us, or (iv) all of the Shares and February Warrant Shares may be sold pursuant to an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(1) of the Securities Act without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions and counsel to us has delivered to such holders a standing written unqualified opinion that resales may then be made by such holders of the Conversion Shares and February Warrant Shares pursuant to such exemption which opinion shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such holders; we may not issue, enter into any agreement to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any shares of Common Stock or common stock equivalents or file any registration statement or amendment or supplement thereto other than a registration statement providing for the resale of the Warrant Shares and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes (the “Conversion Shares”), subject to certain other limited exceptions.
Current report
If we require additional funding while these restrictive covenants remain in effect, we may be unable to effect a financing transaction on terms acceptable to us, or at all, while also remaining in compliance with the terms of the October Purchase Agreement, or we may be forced to seek a waiver from the investor party to the October Purchase Agreement, which such investor is not obligated to grant to us.
Current report
Additionally, the October Purchase Agreement requires us to hold a meeting of our stockholders at the earliest practicable date (and in no event later than 60 days after the closing) to seek stockholder approval and, if such approval is not obtained at the initial meeting, to hold a second meeting on or prior to the 60th calendar day following such meeting, and thereafter every 90 days to seek stockholder approval until the earlier of the date stockholder approval is obtained or December 31, 2026, whichever is sooner, which may be time consuming and costly.
Current report
Risks Related to Engineered Biomass and Organic Recycling
Current report
We are subject to extensive environmental laws and regulations that may increase our operating costs or expose us to liability.
Current report
Our engineered soils, remediation, and logistics operations involve the handling, transport, and processing of materials that are subject to federal, state, and local environmental laws and regulations. These include those governing air emissions, water discharges, solid and hazardous waste, and site remediation. Compliance with these laws may require significant capital expenditures, administrative resources, and operating restrictions. Any actual or alleged failure to comply could result in civil or criminal penalties, project delays, or reputational harm. In addition, we may be held liable under strict liability statutes such as the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (“CERCLA”), even for contamination not caused by our own operations.
Current report
Changes in environmental laws and standards may impose additional costs and limitations on our operations.
Current report
Legislative and regulatory changes related to climate change, PFAS contamination, soil quality, and permitting frameworks may materially impact our business. For example, more stringent discharge thresholds or reclassification of materials we handle could require us to retrofit existing equipment, modify site operations, or alter how we transport and process soils. These changes could limit our ability to obtain or renew environmental permits or require significant new investments to remain in compliance.
Current report
We face risks associated with seasonality and weather that may impact our operations and revenue.
Current report
Our engineered soils, remediation, and logistics services are subject to seasonal demand and may be significantly affected by weather conditions. Adverse weather, including heavy rain, storms, or flooding, can delay project start times, suspend field operations, reduce hauling efficiency, or result in temporary site closures. These disruptions can negatively affect backlog conversion, customer satisfaction, and quarterly revenue variability.
Current report
Our biomass and recycling and organic recycling business is performed in one state, Florida.
Current report
Our operations are concentrated at a single permitted facility, and any disruption to that facility could severely impair our biomass recycling business.
Current report
Substantially all of our biomass recycling operations are conducted at our permitted organics processing facility in Myakka City, Florida. We do not currently operate any secondary processing facilities. A disruption at the Myakka City facility — including as a result of fire, equipment failure, severe weather, flooding, or regulatory action — could render us unable to accept feedstock, process organic waste, or produce and deliver finished engineered soil and mulch products. Any extended shutdown of the Myakka City facility would materially impair our biomass recycling revenue and could result in the loss of customer relationships and permit standing that would be difficult to recover. We do not currently maintain business interruption insurance that we believe would fully offset the financial impact of a prolonged shutdown. The concentration of our processing operations at a single location represents a significant operational risk that is not present in businesses operating multiple facilities.
Current report
Our biomass recycling operations are entirely dependent on maintaining permits issued by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, and any revocation, suspension, or modification of those permits could halt our operations.
Current report
Resource Group operates the Myakka City facility under permits issued by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (“FDEP”) that authorize the receipt, processing, and distribution of organic waste and related materials. Our ability to conduct biomass recycling operations is entirely dependent on maintaining these permits in good standing. FDEP permits are subject to renewal, modification, suspension, and revocation based on compliance history, changes in environmental regulations, community complaints, permit condition violations, and regulatory priorities. The permitting framework governing composting and organic waste processing facilities in Florida has become increasingly scrutinized, and future regulatory changes could impose additional operating conditions or restrict the volume or types of materials we are permitted to process. If any of our FDEP permits were suspended, revoked, or materially modified, we could be required to curtail or cease operations at the Myakka City facility, which would have an immediate and material adverse effect on our revenues, financial condition, and results of operations.
Current report
Our business is dependent on a limited number of municipal and government contracts, which may be subject to political and funding risks.
Current report
A portion of our revenue derives from government contracts for soil remediation, infrastructure support, and materials supply. These contracts are awarded through competitive bidding and may be subject to delays, renegotiation, or cancellation based on budget availability, political changes, or performance-based reviews. The loss of any significant municipal or agency customer or failure to win expected bids could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Current report
Our real estate holdings and facility operations require significant capital, management, and regulatory compliance.
Current report
We own and lease several properties that house soil processing, storage, and remediation activities. These properties must comply with zoning, permitting, and environmental requirements, and require continuous investment for maintenance, safety, and operational efficiency. If we are unable to operate these facilities profitably or repurpose them for alternative uses, we may not achieve an acceptable return on our invested capital.
Current report
Our business relies on skilled labor, specialized equipment, and operational execution to meet customer demands.
Current report
The success of our soil processing and remediation operations depends on access to qualified personnel and properly functioning, specialized equipment. Labor shortages, particularly in field services or trucking, including as a result of immigration policies, may constrain our ability to meet project schedules. Furthermore, we have faced challenges hiring employees in our compost business due to the remote location of our facilities. Equipment downtime, supply delays, or execution failures may increase project costs, reduce customer satisfaction, or delay revenue recognition.
Current report
Our logistics operations depend on a small number of licensed commercial drivers, and the loss of key drivers or an inability to recruit qualified replacements could materially impair our transportation capacity.
Current report
ZEI’s logistics operations are staffed by a workforce of 20 full-time employees, 11 of whom are CDL-licensed commercial drivers. These drivers operate our fleet of grapple trucks, walking floor trailers, and other heavy equipment, and their availability is directly tied to our ability to fulfill customer commitments. The market for CDL-licensed drivers is highly competitive and subject to persistent shortages driven by an aging driver workforce, stringent licensing requirements, and competition from larger carriers offering higher compensation. The loss of two or three experienced drivers could meaningfully reduce ZEI’s operational throughput. We cannot assure you that we will be able to attract and retain a sufficient number of qualified CDL drivers to support our operations, particularly as we seek to grow our logistics volume. If we are unable to maintain adequate driver staffing, our ability to service customers, generate logistics revenue, and support the transportation needs of our biomass recycling operations would be materially and adversely affected.
Current report
Our processing and transportation operations depend on a fleet of specialized equipment financed through multiple lenders, and the unavailability of equipment or equipment financing could impair our operational capacity.
Current report
Our biomass recycling and logistics operations are dependent on a fleet of specialized processing equipment and transportation vehicles, including trommel screeners, grinders, shredders, grapple trucks, and trailers. As of December 31, 2025, this equipment is financed through approximately fifteen separate equipment finance facilities with multiple lenders. Our ability to conduct operations is contingent on this equipment remaining in good working order, replacement parts being available, and our equipment financing facilities remaining in effect. If we default on any equipment finance obligations, lenders may repossess the collateralized equipment, directly impairing operational capacity. Additionally, if our financial condition deteriorates, we may be unable to refinance maturing equipment facilities or obtain financing for necessary equipment replacements or additions. The loss of access to key pieces of processing or transportation equipment even temporarily could disrupt customer service, reduce throughput, and materially and adversely affect our revenues and results of operations.
Current report
Our logistics business involves safety risks and the materialization of such risks will affect our business operations and financial results.
Current report
Transportation is a key component of our logistics business and involves inherent safety risks, which may not be eliminated through implementing the current risk management policies and control measures, such as safety inspections on our vehicles and safety awareness training for our drivers. The provision of our logistics services may present risks and dangers, such as improper operation of vehicles, vehicle or equipment failure and other issues arising from driving. The materialization of any of such risks may result in personal injury, business disruption or negative impact on our business.
Current report
Our trucking operations involve complex logistics that may be disrupted by operational, regulatory, or market conditions.
Current report
Our business includes operating and coordinating a fleet of trucks to transport green waste, engineered soils, and other bulk materials between job sites and our processing facilities. These operations require reliable scheduling, routing, and maintenance systems to ensure timely and compliant deliveries. We rely on third-party owner-operators of vehicles to perform certain of our logistics services, and loss of any such third-party owner-operators, or our inability to engage additional third-party owner-operators as our business grows, could negatively impact our results of operations and financial condition. Disruptions such as driver shortages, increased costs to engage third-party owner operators when needed, increased regulatory oversight on vehicle emissions or weight limits, limited availability of replacement parts, or road access restrictions may negatively impact our efficiency and increase costs. In addition, failure to maintain Department of Transportation compliance, vehicle safety records, or insurance coverage could result in fines or suspension of operations.
Current report
We face operational, regulatory, and economic risks associated with green waste projects.
Current report
Green waste handling and processing, including the receipt, sorting, and reuse of organic materials such as yard clippings, branches, and wood debris, are subject to environmental and permitting regulations. These projects may involve odor control, vector management, and contamination risks that require specialized handling and site management protocols. Changes in organic waste diversion mandates, composting regulations, or material classification standards may affect our ability to process or resell green waste economically. Additionally, fluctuations in demand from end-markets such as compost facilities, biomass plants, or soil amendment users may limit our ability to monetize collected material, which could increase storage costs or disposal expenses.
Current report
Our implementation of the Microtec UTM 1200 Turbo Mill system to expand our organics processing capabilities is subject to significant execution, financing, and operational risks.
Current report
We are in the process of implementing the Microtec UTM 1200 Turbo Mill system at our Myakka City facility as a Phase 1 enhancement to our existing organics processing operations. The implementation is subject to a number of risks, including: the availability of sufficient capital to fund the installation and commissioning of the equipment; delays in equipment delivery, site preparation, or regulatory approval; the risk that the system does not perform at projected throughput or quality specifications upon installation; the risk that integration with our existing processing operations is more complex or costly than anticipated; and the risk that market conditions for engineered soil or mulch products do not support the incremental output the system is designed to generate. We have no prior operating history with the UTM 1200 system and cannot provide assurance that it will generate the anticipated processing improvements or cost savings. If the implementation is delayed, underperforms, or requires additional capital beyond our current resources, our financial condition, results of operations, and business prospects could be materially and adversely affected.
Current report
Our vehicles are often financed by lenders. If interest rates meaningfully rise, we may not be able to pass off the increase to our customers by increasing prices we charge and therefore our profit and cash flow may suffer.
Current report
We may be dependent on a limited number of customers, and the loss of any significant customer could adversely affect our revenues and results of operations.
Current report
Our biomass recycling and logistics businesses currently serve a limited set of customers, including municipal entities, construction contractors, and landscaping companies operating primarily in Florida. Although we have not yet experienced significant customer attrition since completing our acquisition of Resource Group in June 2025, we cannot guarantee that our customer relationships will continue or that existing customers will continue to engage us on terms acceptable to us. The loss of one or more significant customers, or a reduction in the volume of services they require, could have a material adverse effect on our revenues, operating results, and cash flows. We have not yet established the diversified customer base necessary to reduce our dependence on any individual customer or customer segment.

*** If we default on payments or other covenants pursuant to the debentures that we issued in August 2024 and October 2024, the lender could foreclose on our assets***.
Previous report
The debentures that we issued in August 2024 and October 2024 are secured by a lien on our assets. If we should fail to pay the amounts owed under the debentures when due or fail to comply with any other covenants or obligations thereunder, the lender could foreclose on our assets.
Previous report
We do not anticipate generating substantial revenue from our development activities for many years.
Previous report
We have not yet developed any of the properties that we have acquired. We do not expect to derive significant revenue from the sale of the properties we develop for several years.
Previous report
The long-term sustainability of our real estate development operations as well as future growth in this sector depends in part upon our ability to acquire land parcels suitable for residential projects at reasonable prices.
Previous report
The long-term sustainability of our real estate development operations, as well as future growth in this sector, depends in large part on the price at which we are able to obtain suitable land parcels for development or homebuilding operations. Our ability to acquire land parcels for various residential projects may be adversely affected by changes in the general availability of land parcels, the willingness of land sellers to sell land parcels at reasonable prices, competition for available land parcels, availability of financing to acquire land parcels, zoning, regulations that limit housing density, the ability to obtain building permits, environmental requirements and other market conditions and regulatory requirements. If suitable lots or land at reasonable prices become less available, the number of units we may be able to build and sell could be reduced, and the cost of land could be increased substantially, which could adversely impact us. As competition for suitable land increases, the cost of undeveloped lots and the cost of developing owned land could also rise and the availability of suitable land at acceptable prices may decline, which could adversely impact us. The availability of suitable land assets could also affect the success of our land acquisition strategy, which may impact our ability to maintain or increase the number of our active communities, as well as to sustain and grow our revenues and margins, and achieve or maintain profitability. Additionally, developing undeveloped land is capital intensive and time consuming and we may develop land based upon forecasts and assumptions that prove to be inaccurate, resulting in projects that are not economically viable.
Previous report
We operate in a highly competitive market for investment opportunities, and we may be unable to identify and complete acquisitions of real property assets.
Previous report
The housing industry is highly competitive, and we face competition from many sources, including from other housing communities both in the immediate vicinity and the geographic market where our properties are and will be located. Furthermore, housing communities we invest in compete, or will compete, with numerous housing alternatives in attracting residents, including owner occupied single and multifamily homes available to rent or purchase. Increased competition may prevent us from acquiring attractive land parcels or make such acquisitions more expensive, hinder our market share expansion, or lead to pricing pressures that may adversely impact our margins and revenues. Competitors may independently develop land and construct housing units that are superior or substantially similar to our products and because they are or may be significantly larger, have a longer operating history, and have greater resources or lower cost of capital than us, may be able to compete more effectively in one or more of the markets in which we operate or plan to operate.
Previous report
We will also compete with public and private funds, commercial and investment banks, commercial financing companies and public and private REITs to make certain of the investments that we plan to make. Many of such competitors are substantially larger and have considerably greater financial, technical and marketing resources than us. In addition, some of our competitors may have higher risk tolerances or different risk assessments, allowing them to pay higher consideration, consider a wider variety of investments and establish more effective relationships than us.
Previous report
These competitive conditions could adversely affect our ability to make investments. Moreover, our ability to close transactions will be subject to our ability to access financing within stipulated contractual time frames, and there is no assurance that we will have access to such financing on terms that are favorable to us, if at all.
Previous report
Our compost business and AI platforms will be subject to competition
Previous report
*** ***The artificial intelligence and prop-tech software markets are highly competitive and rapidly evolving. We face competition from a range of companies, including major technology firms offering enterprise-grade AI platforms, as well as niche startups developing specialized tools for conversational AI, customer automation, and real estate technology many of whom have greater financial resources than we do.
Previous report
There can be no assurance that the properties in our development pipeline will be completed in accordance with the anticipated timing or cost.
Previous report
The development of the projects in our pipeline is subject to numerous risks, many of which are outside of our control, including:
Previous report
We can provide no assurances that we will complete any of the projects in our development pipeline on the anticipated schedule or within the budget, or that, once completed, these properties will achieve the results that we expect. If the development of these projects is not completed in accordance with our anticipated timing or cost, or the properties fail to achieve the financial results we expect, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows and ability to repay our debt, including project-related debt.
Previous report
We rely on third-party suppliers and long supply chains, and if we fail to identify and develop relationships with a sufficient number of qualified suppliers, or if there is a significant interruption in our supply chains, our ability to timely and efficiently access raw materials that meet our standards for quality could be adversely affected.
Previous report
Our ability to identify and develop relationships with qualified suppliers who can satisfy our standards for quality and our need to access products and supplies in a timely and efficient manner will be a significant challenge. We may be required to replace a supplier if their products do not meet our quality or safety standards. In addition, our suppliers could discontinue selling products at any time for reasons that may or may not be in our control or the suppliers’ control. Our operating results and inventory levels could suffer if we are unable to promptly replace a supplier who is unwilling or unable to satisfy our requirements with a supplier providing similar products. Our suppliers’ ability to deliver products may also be affected by financing constraints caused by credit market conditions, which could negatively impact our revenue and costs, at least until alternate sources of supply are arranged.
Previous report
The construction of manufacturing facilities involves significant risks.
Previous report
We have limited experience constructing manufacturing facilities and doing so is a complex and lengthy undertaking that requires sophisticated, multi-disciplinary planning and precise execution. The construction of manufacturing facilities is subject to a number of risks. In particular, the construction costs may materially exceed budgeted amounts, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. For example, we may suffer construction delays or cost overruns as a result of a variety of factors, such as labor and material shortages, defects in materials and workmanship, adverse weather conditions, transportation constraints, construction change orders, site changes, labor issues and other unforeseen difficulties, any of which could delay or prevent the completion of our planned facilities. While our goal is to negotiate contracts with engineering, procurement and construction firms that minimize risk, any delays or cost overruns we encounter may result in the renegotiation of our construction contracts, which could increase our costs.
Previous report
In addition, the construction of manufacturing facilities may be subject to the receipt of approvals and permits from various regulatory agencies. Such agencies may not approve the projects in a timely manner or may impose restrictions or conditions on a production facility that could potentially prevent construction from proceeding, lengthen its expected completion schedule and/or increase its anticipated cost. If construction costs are higher than we anticipate, we may be unable to achieve our expected investment return, which could adversely affect our business and results of operations.
Previous report
In order for us to access capital from the sale of the debentures or shares pursuant to our equity line of credit we need to meet certain conditions and we may not be able to meet the conditions.
Previous report
If we were to default in our obligation to repay the loan we received from BCV S&G DevCorp, which loan is secured by 100,000 Treasury Shares, it could disrupt or adversely affect our business and our stock price could decline.
Previous report
To date, we have received $1,750,000 as a secured loan from BCV S&G DevCorp, a Luxembourg-based specialized investment fund, and have entered into a loan agreement with BCV S&G DevCorp to receive up to $3,000,000 as a secured loan. The loan matures on December 1, 2025 and is secured by 100,000 Treasury Shares. If we were to default in our obligation to repay the loan when due it could disrupt or adversely affect our business and our stock price could decline if the lender were to seek to sell the pledged shares.
Previous report
In connection with the Separation we agreed to indemnify SG Holdings for certain liabilities. If we are required to pay under these indemnities to SG Holdings, our financial results could be negatively impacted. In addition, the SG Holdings indemnities may not be sufficient to hold us harmless from the full amount of liabilities for which SG Holdings will be allocated responsibility, and SG Holdings may not be able to satisfy its indemnification obligations in the future.
Previous report
Pursuant to the separation and distribution agreement and certain other agreements between SG Holdings and us, each party agreed to indemnify the other for certain liabilities. Third parties could also seek to hold us responsible for any of the liabilities that SG Holdings has agreed to retain. Any amounts we are required to pay pursuant to these indemnification obligations and other liabilities could require us to divert cash that would otherwise have been used in furtherance of our operating business. Further, the indemnities from SG Holdings for our benefit may not be sufficient to protect us against the full amount of such liabilities, and SG Holdings may not be able to fully satisfy its indemnification obligations.
Previous report
Moreover, even if we ultimately succeed in recovering from SG Holdings any amounts for which we are held liable, we may be temporarily required to bear these losses ourselves. Each of these risks could negatively affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Previous report
On April 16, 2024, we received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq stating that we were not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the “Rule”) because our stockholders’ equity of $1,887,777 as of December 31, 2023, as reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 1, 2024, was below the minimum requirement of $2,500,000. Pursuant to Nasdaq’s Listing Rules, we had 45 calendar days (until May 31, 2024), to submit a plan to evidence compliance with the Rule (a “Compliance Plan”). We submitted a Compliance Plan within the required time. On July 22, 2024, we received a letter from Nasdaq stating that based on the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the period ended March 31, 2024, and our submission to the Staff, dated May 29, 2024, it determined that we were in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1). The letter further stated that if we fail to evidence compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) upon filing our next periodic report we may be subject to delisting.
Previous report
On August 26, 2024, we received a letter from Nasdaq stating that the Company was not in compliance with the Rule because the stockholders’ equity of the Company of $2,018,263 as of June 30, 2024, as reported in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on August 14, 2024, was below the minimum requirement of $2,500,000.
Previous report
Pursuant to Nasdaq’s Listing Rules, we had 45 calendar days (until October 10, 2024), to submit a Compliance Plan. We submitted a Compliance Plan within the required time, which was accepted; however, there can be no assurance that the Compliance Plan will be fully implemented. We were granted an extension of up to 180 calendar days until October 10, 2024, to evidence compliance with the Rule. In the event the Compliance Plan is not accepted by Nasdaq, or in the event the Compliance Plan is accepted but we fail to evidence compliance within the extension period, we will have the right to a hearing before Nasdaq’s Hearing Panel. The hearing request would stay any suspension or delisting action pending the conclusion of the hearing process and the expiration of any additional extension period granted by the panel following the hearing.
Previous report
On October 22, 2024, we received a notice from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC notifying the Company that the Staff had determined that for 10 consecutive business days, from October 8, 2024 to October 21, 2024, the closing bid price of our common stock had been at $1.00 per share or greater. Accordingly, the Staff had determined that we regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) and indicated that the matter is now closed.
Previous report
On January 29, 2025, we entered into a mutual release and discharge agreement (the “Mutual Release”) with SG Holdings pursuant to we have forgiven and released SG Holdings from its obligations to us under that certain promissory note, dated August 9, 2023, in the principal amount of $908,322.95 and in respect of $815,522 of inter-company advances from us to SG Holdings(which amounts had been written off our balance sheet as of December 31, 2023) in exchange for SG Holdings forgiving $394,329 of inter-company debt owed to SG Holdings by us and for SG Holdings transferring 276,425 shares (the “Shares”) of our Common Stock owned by SG Holdings to us. SG Holdings has agreed to return the Shares to us within 48 hours. We currently plan to hold the Shares in our treasury. As a result of this agreement, SG Holdings is no longer a stockholder of ours.

Risks Related to Resource Group, its Business and its Acquisition
Previous report
If the proposed acquisition of Resource Group is not consummated, our strategic growth plans and anticipated benefits may not be realized
Previous report
We have entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Resource Group, a company operating in the engineered soils and composting industry; however, there is no guarantee that the transaction will be completed as contemplated or at all. The successful consummation of the acquisition is subject to a number of conditions, including regulatory approvals, completion of due diligence, finalization of transaction documentation, and the absence of any material adverse developments affecting either party. Any failure to satisfy these conditions or unexpected delays could prevent the closing of the transaction. If the acquisition of Resource Group is not completed, we may forgo strategic benefits such as market entry into the engineered soils sector, expansion of our customer base, and operational synergies. Additionally, we may incur substantial transaction-related expenses without realizing any return on investment and lose momentum in our broader growth strategy. Even if the transaction is ultimately consummated, there is no assurance that the integration of Resource Group’s operations will proceed as expected or result in the anticipated financial or strategic advantages. Failure to complete or successfully integrate the proposed acquisition could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and future growth prospects.

We were incorporated in February 2021. We cannot assure you that we will be able to operate our business successfully or profitably or find additional suitable investments. We only have a few years of audited financial statements. Any investment decision will not be made with the same data as would be available as if we had a longer history of public reporting. There can be no assurance that we will be able to generate sufficient revenue from operations to pay our operating expenses. The results of our operations and the execution on our business plan depends on the demand for the recycling and composting services we intend to provide upon the acquisition of Resource Group, the demand for our AI technology, the availability of additional land parcels, the performance of our currently held properties, competition, the ability to obtain building permits, the availability of adequate equity and debt financing, and conditions in the financial markets and economic conditions.
Current wording
We were incorporated in February 2021. We cannot assure you that we will be able to operate our business successfully or profitably or find additional suitable investments. We only have a few years of audited financial statements. Any investment decision will not be made with the same data as would be available as if we had a longer history of public reporting. There can be no assurance that we will be able to generate sufficient revenue from operations to pay our operating expenses. The results of our operations and the execution on our business plan depends primarily on the demand for the recycling and composting services, logistics services and, to a lesser extent, the performance of our currently held properties, competition, our ability to monetize our real estate business, the availability of adequate equity and debt financing, and conditions in the financial markets and economic conditions.

Current wording
We have entered into new lines of business which may not be successful.
Previous wording
Upon the closing of the acquisition of Resource Group we will be entering into a new line of business- transforming targeted organic green waste materials into engineered, environmentally friendly soil and mulch products. Our current management team has no experience in this new market. There can be no assurance that there will be demand for our services in this market. Even if such a market develops, there can be no assurance that we would be able to maintain that market.
Current wording
In June 2025, in connection with our acquisition of Resource Group and ZEI, we entered into two new lines of business transforming targeted organic green waste materials into engineered, environmentally friendly soil and mulch products, and logistics. There can be no assurance that there will be demand for our services in these markets. Even if such a market develops, there can be no assurance that we would be able to maintain that market.

We have generated minimal revenue and have incurred significant net losses in each year since inception. For the year ended December 31, 2024 we incurred a net loss of $8,908,475 as compared to a net loss of $4,200,541 for year ended December 31, 2023. We expect to incur increasing losses in the future when we commence development of the properties we own. We cannot offer any assurance as to our future financial results. Our inability to achieve profitability from our current operating plans or to raise capital to cover any potential shortfall would have a material adverse effect on our ability to meet our obligations as they become due. If we are not able to secure additional funding, if, and when needed, we would be forced to curtail our operations or take other action in order to continue to operate. A significant portion of our funding was historically provided by SG Holdings. These and other factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to meet our obligations and are forced to curtail or cease our business operations, our stockholders could suffer a complete loss of any investment made in our securities.
Current wording
We have generated limited revenue and have incurred significant net losses in each year since inception. For the year ended December 31, 2025 we incurred a net loss of $15,957,099 as compared to a net loss of $8,908,475 for the year ended December 31, 2024. We expect to continue to incur operating losses as we scale our organics processing and logistics operations, invest in equipment and infrastructure, and work toward achieving profitability across our business segments. We cannot offer any assurance as to our future financial results. Our inability to achieve profitability from our current operating plans or to raise capital to cover any potential shortfall would have a material adverse effect on our ability to meet our obligations as they become due. If we are not able to secure additional funding, if, and when needed, we would be forced to curtail our operations or take other action in order to continue to operate. A significant portion of our funding for operations has been from debt and equity financings and not revenue generated from operations. These and other factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The auditor’s report included in this Annual Report contains an explanatory paragraph regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to generate sufficient revenue to meet our operating needs and are unable to meet our obligations and are forced to curtail or cease our business operations, our stockholders could suffer a complete loss of any investment made in our securities.

Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in significant growth stages of development. We cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully develop any of our properties or that we will have access to additional development opportunities or that we will generate revenue from our AI technology or new composting business in which we intend to engage. Failure to manage potential transactions to successful conclusions, or failure more generally to manage our growth effectively, could have a material adverse effect on our business, future prospects, financial condition or results of operations and could adversely affect our ability to successfully implement our business strategy.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, our operating activities used net cash of approximately $2.6 million and as of December 31, 2024, our cash was $296,202. We have experienced significant losses since inception and have a significant accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2024 totaling $16 million. We expect to incur additional operating losses in the future and therefore expect our cumulative losses to increase. We do not derive substantial revenue from the properties we own or have an interest in. We expect to potentially generate revenue through our strategy of strategically monetizing the land parcels and joint venture partnerships by selling them in the next years. We do not expect to generate revenue from our AI for years. The payoff of the St. Mary’s note is subject to conditions and there can be no assurance that the sale will be consummated or if consummated that the borrowers will fulfill their obligations under the note .We expect our expenses to increase if and when we are able to close the acquisition of Resource Group.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, our operating activities used net cash of approximately $7 million and as of December 31, 2025, our cash was $54,066. We have experienced significant losses since inception and have a significant accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2025, totaling approximately $32 million. We expect to incur additional operating losses in the future and therefore expect our cumulative losses to increase. To date, we have not derived substantial revenue from the properties we own or have an interest in. We expect to potentially generate revenue through our growth of our compost and logistics businesses and sales of property, if any. There is uncertainty as to our ability to monetize our real estate properties or to generate sales proceeds. We expect our expenses to increase as operations increase from our compost and logistics businesses.

We will need to raise additional capital to fund our business expansion plans and we cannot be certain that funding will be available to us on acceptable terms on a timely basis, or at all. To meet our financing needs, we are considering multiple alternatives, including, but not limited to, additional equity and debt financings. Our ability to raise capital through the sale of securities may be limited by our number of authorized shares of common stock and various rules of the SEC and Nasdaq that place limits on the number and dollar amount of securities that we may sell. Any additional sources of financing will likely involve the issuance of our equity or debt securities, which will have a dilutive effect on our stockholders, assuming we are able to sufficiently increase our authorized number of shares of common stock. To the extent that we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, our stockholders may experience significant dilution. Any debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants that may impact our ability to conduct our business. Our current outstanding debentures prohibit us from engaging in certain types of financing while the debentures are outstanding. Although our agreement with the holder of our debentures provides for the issuance of additional debentures, there are conditions to be met in order for us to be able to issue additional debentures and there can be no assurance that we will be able to satisfy the conditions. Our equity line also requires that certain conditions be met before we can use the equity line and there can be no assurance that such conditions will be met. If we fail to raise additional funds on acceptable terms, we may be unable to complete planned development work.
Current wording
Although in October 2025 we raised approximately $9,000,000 and in February 2026 we raised approximately $6,000,000, unless we generate significant revenue from our compost and logistics businesses, we believe we will need to raise additional capital to fund our business expansion plans and we cannot be certain that funding will be available to us on acceptable terms on a timely basis, or at all.

We identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting and determined that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of June 30, 2024 and continue to be ineffective as of December 31, 2024. In the future, we may identify additional material weaknesses or otherwise fail to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting or adequate disclosure controls and procedures, which may result in material errors in our financial statements or cause us to fail to meet our period reporting obligations.

Management and our Audit Committee, in consultation with M&K CPAS PLLC (“M&K”), our independent registered public accounting firm, determined that there was a material weakness in our internal controls as of December 31, 2024. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of a company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Since June 30, 2024 we have identified weaknesses in internal controls.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of a company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weakness in our case related to the ineffective design of certain management review controls across a portion of the Company’s financial statements. Specifically, the controls related to the review of internal and externally prepared reports and analysis utilized in the financial reporting process of outside consultants that aid in the preparation of our financial statements. In order to remediate these material weaknesses, we added more external consultants to assist in the preparation of our financial statements, and assist in the expansion of our accounting and finance department as a result of our recent acquisition.

The engineered soils and composting industry is subject to complex environmental regulations at the federal, state, and local levels, governing areas such as permitting, emissions, stormwater runoff, leachate control, and zoning. Maintaining compliance with these laws requires ongoing investments in monitoring, equipment, and staff training, and changes in regulations—such as stricter air or water standards—could increase operating costs or limit expansion. Failure to comply with such regulations could result in fines, permit revocation, or reputational harm.this

Operational hazards such as fires, equipment failure, and occupational injuries can disrupt production, endanger employees, and expose us to regulatory enforcement or lawsuits. Proper training, maintenance, and safety protocols are essential to prevent incidents that could affect worker safety or lead to costly shutdowns or remediation. We currently utilize a single building and mill for our compost business. If anything were to limit or prevent our ability to fully utilize such building and equipment, resulting delays could harm our relationship with customers if such delays caused us to miss our scheduled shipment deadlines. We may not be able to identify or secure alternative processing facilities or equipment on a timely basis, or at all, which could prevent us from being able to continue to meet all of our demands on a timely basis. If we fail to meet our manufacturing requirements, our business would be harmed until we are able to secure alternative sources, if any, on commercially reasonable terms.

We may not realize the anticipated strategic growth plans and anticipated benefits of the acquisition of Resource Group.
Previous wording
The acquisition of Resource Group is expected to provide certain strategic benefits to our company that would not otherwise be realized. Specifically, we believe the acquisition should provide certain strategic benefit, such as market entry into the engineered soils sector, expansion of our customer base, and operational synergies. The market price of our common stock however may decline as a result of the acquisition if we do not achieve the perceived benefits of the acquisition as rapidly or to the extent anticipated by us or investors, financial analysts, or industry analysts. There can be no assurance that these anticipated benefits of the acquisition will materialize or that if they materialize will result in increased stockholder value or revenue stream to our company.
Current wording
While we anticipate that operations of our compost business will provide certain strategic benefits to our Company that would not otherwise be realized, there is no assurance that there will be any financial or strategic advantages. Specifically, we believe the acquisition will provide certain strategic benefit, such as market entry into the engineered soils sector, expansion of our customer base, and operational synergies. However, the acquisition of Resource Group and entry into these markets may not have the value and commercial potential that we envision and we may not realize any return on investment, which may cause us to lose momentum in our broader growth strategy. The market price of our Common Stock may decline as a result of the acquisition if we do not achieve the perceived benefits of the acquisition as rapidly or to the extent anticipated by us or investors, financial analysts, or industry analysts. There can be no assurance that these anticipated benefits of the acquisition will materialize or that if they materialize will result in increased stockholder value or revenue stream to our company. Failure to successfully integrate the operations of Resource Group with our own could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and future growth prospects.

We have acquired properties upon which we will construct improvements. In connection with our development activities, we are subject to uncertainties associated with re-zoning for development, environmental concerns of governmental entities or community groups and our contractor’s or partner’s ability to build in conformity with plans, specifications, budgeted costs, and timetables. Performance also may be affected or delayed by conditions beyond our control. We may incur additional risks when we make periodic progress payments or other advances to builders before they complete construction. If a builder or development partner fails to perform, we may resort to legal action to rescind the purchase or the construction contract or to compel performance, but there can be no assurance any legal action would be successful. These and other factors can result in increased costs of a project or loss of our investment. In addition, we will be subject to normal lease-up risks relating to newly constructed projects. We also must rely on rental income and expense projections and estimates of the fair market value of property upon completion of construction when agreeing upon a price at the time we acquire the property. If our projections are inaccurate, we may pay too much for a property, and our return on our investment could suffer.

Inflation may also accompany higher interest rates, which could adversely impact potential customers’ ability to obtain financing on favorable terms, thereby further decreasing demand. If we are unable to raise the prices of our units or buildings to offset the increasing costs of our operations, our margins could decrease. Furthermore, if we need to lower the price of our units to meet demand, the value of our land inventory may decrease. Inflation may also raise our costs of capital and decrease our purchasing power, making it more difficult to maintain sufficient funds to operate our business.

We and our joint venture partners may each have the right to initiate a buy-sell arrangement, which could cause us to sell our interest, or acquire a joint venture partner’s interest, at a time when we otherwise would not have entered into such a transaction. In addition, a sale or transfer by us to a third party of our interests in the joint venture may be subject to consent rights or rights of first refusal in favor of our partners which would restrict our ability to dispose of our interest in the joint venture. Each joint venture agreement is individually negotiated, and our ability to operate, finance, or dispose of a joint venture project in our sole discretion is limited to varying degrees depending on the terms of the applicable joint venture agreement.

Risks inherent in controlling, purchasing, holding, and developing land are substantial. The risks inherent in purchasing and developing land parcels increase as consumer demand for housing decreases and the holding period increases. As a result, we may buy and develop land parcels on which housing units cannot be profitably built and sold. In certain circumstances, a grant of entitlements or development agreement with respect to a particular parcel of land may include restrictions on the transfer of such entitlements to a buyer of such land, which could negatively impact the price of such entitled land by restricting our ability to sell it for its full entitled value. In addition, inventory carrying costs can be significant and can result in reduced margins or losses in a poorly performing community or market. The time and investment required for development may adversely impact our business. In the event of significant changes in economic or market conditions, we may have to sell units or buildings at significantly lower margins or at a loss, if we are able to sell them at all. Additionally, deteriorating market conditions could cause us to record significant inventory impairment charges. The recording of a significant inventory impairment could negatively affect our reported earnings per share and negatively impact the market perception of our business.

From time to time, we may implement or acquire new lines of business, including those outside of the real estate development industry such as the business to be acquired from Resource Holdings. There are risks and uncertainties associated with these efforts, particularly in instances where the markets are not fully developed or are evolving. In developing and marketing new lines of business and new products and services, we may invest significant time and resources. In addition, new business ventures may require different strategic management competencies and risk considerations compared to those of our existing management team. External factors, such as regulatory compliance obligations, competitive alternatives, and shifting market preferences, may also impact the successful implementation of a new line of business or a new product or service. Failure to successfully manage these risks in the development and implementation of new lines of business or new products or services could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

We have invested, and expect to continue to invest, in real property assets which are subject to laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment and human health and safety. These laws and regulations generally govern wastewater discharges, noise levels, air emissions, the operation and removal of underground and above-ground storage tanks, the use, storage, treatment, transportation and disposal of solid and hazardous materials and the remediation of contamination associated with disposals. Environmental laws and regulations may impose joint and several liabilities on tenants, owners or operators for the costs to investigate and remediate contaminated properties, regardless of fault or whether the acts causing the contamination were legal. This liability could be substantial. In addition, the presence of hazardous substances, or the failure to properly remediate these substances, could adversely affect our ability to sell, rent or pledge an affected property as collateral for future borrowings. We intend to take commercially reasonable steps when we can to protect ourselves from the risks of environmental law liability; however, we may not obtain independent third-party environmental assessments for every property we acquire. In addition, any such assessments that we do obtain may not reveal all environmental liabilities, or whether a prior owner of a property created a material environmental condition not known to us. In addition, there are various local, state and federal fire, health, safety and similar regulations with which we may be required to comply, and that may subject us to liability in the form of fines or damages. In all events, the existing condition of land when we buy it, operations in the vicinity of our properties or activities of unrelated third parties could all affect our properties in ways that lead to costs being imposed on us.
Current wording
We have invested in real property assets and continue to hold legacy real estate interests, which are subject to laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment and human health and safety. These laws and regulations generally govern wastewater discharges, noise levels, air emissions, the operation and removal of underground and above-ground storage tanks, the use, storage, treatment, transportation and disposal of solid and hazardous materials and the remediation of contamination associated with disposals. Environmental laws and regulations may impose joint and several liabilities on tenants, owners or operators for the costs to investigate and remediate contaminated properties, regardless of fault or whether the acts causing the contamination were legal. This liability could be substantial. In addition, the presence of hazardous substances, or the failure to properly remediate these substances, could adversely affect our ability to sell, rent or pledge an affected property as collateral for future borrowings. We intend to take commercially reasonable steps when we can to protect ourselves from the risks of environmental law liability; however, we may not obtain independent third-party environmental assessments for every property we acquire. In addition, any such assessments that we do obtain may not reveal all environmental liabilities, or whether a prior owner of a property created a material environmental condition not known to us. In addition, there are various local, state and federal fire, health, safety and similar regulations with which we may be required to comply, and that may subject us to liability in the form of fines or damages. In all events, the existing condition of land when we buy it, operations in the vicinity of our properties or activities of unrelated third parties could all affect our properties in ways that lead to costs being imposed on us.

Under Sections 3(a)(1)(A) and (C) of the 1940 Act, a company generally will be deemed to be an “investment company” for purposes of the 1940 Act if: (i) it is, or holds itself out as being, engaged primarily, or proposes to engage primarily, in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities or (ii) it engages, or proposes to engage, in the business of investing, reinvesting, owning, holding or trading in securities and it owns or proposes to acquire investment securities having a value exceeding 40% of the value of its total assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis. We do not believe that we are an “investment company,” as such term is defined in either of those sections of the 1940 Act as a result of our ownership of minority interests in Norman Berry II Owners LLC and JDI-Cumberland Inlet LLC and our plans to potentially make other minority investments, and we intend to conduct our operations so that we will not be deemed an investment company.

We expect that significant additional capital will be needed in the future to continue our planned operations. To the extent we raise additional capital by issuing equity securities, our stockholders may experience substantial dilution. Pursuant to the Safe and Green Development Corporation 2023 Incentive Compensation Plan (our “2023 Plan”), our management may grant equity awards to our employees, directors and consultants. We may sell Common Stock, convertible securities or other equity securities in one or more transactions at prices and in a manner we determine from time to time, any of which may result in material dilution to our existing stockholders. New investors could also be issued securities with rights superior to those of our existing stockholders. Such future equity issuances will have a dilutive effect on the number of SG DevCo shares outstanding, and therefore on our earnings per share, which could adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock. In addition, if we issue additional convertible debentures and the debentures are converted into share of common stock, stockholders will experience additional dilution.
Current wording
We currently have 3,046,081 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise of existing securities. We also expect that significant additional capital will be needed in the future to continue our planned operations.
