The Company is currently meeting its operational obligations as they become due from its current working capital and from operations.

Management’s plans to address these conditions include the equity financings described in Note 19 and Note 24, which raised aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $14.2 million through July 2026, the continued benefit of vertically integrated biomass supply from Salisbury Canyon Ranch on the Company’s gross margins, and continued discipline over operating costs.
