ITEM 2. 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and the three months ended September 30, 2023 and period from February 8, 2023 to September 30, 2023, our audited consolidated financial statements as of the year ended December 31, 2023, and other information included elsewhere in this report. This discussion includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events. These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “continue,” or the negative of such terms or other similar expressions. Such statements include, but are not limited to, possible business combinations and the financing thereof, and related matters, as well as all other statements other than statements of historical fact included herein. Factors that might cause or contribute to such a discrepancy include, but are not limited to, those described in our other Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings.

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 Global Gas’ 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)  the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of Global Hydrogen to grow and manage growth profitably, sell and expand its product and service offerings, implement its growth strategy and retain its key employees; (iii) risks relating to Global Hydrogen’s operations and business, including the combined company’s ability to raise financing, hire employees, secure supplier, customer and other commercial contracts, obtain licenses and information technology and protect itself against cybersecurity risks; (iv) intense competition and competitive pressures from other companies worldwide in the industries in which the combined company will operate; (v) litigation and the ability to adequately protect the combined company’s intellectual property rights; (vi) costs related to the Business Combination; (vii) changes in applicable laws or regulations; and (viii) 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.

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, but the Company has not yet generated any revenue or reached final terms with any paying customers or suppliers. 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 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.

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 Gas has not yet generated any revenue and does not  anticipate generating revenue from the sale of systems and equipment to customers in 2024. 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.

Recent Developments

Recent events impacting our business are as follows:

Business Combination

On May 14, 2023, the Company, entered into a Unit Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among Global Gas Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Dune (“Holdings”), Dune Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Dune”).

In accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Purchase Agreement, at the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), (a) Dune will contribute to Holdings all of its assets (excluding its interests in Holdings and the aggregate amount of cash proceeds required to satisfy any redemptions by Dune’s public stockholders (“Dune Stockholder Redemptions”)), and in exchange therefore, Holdings will issue to Dune a number of common equity units of Holdings (“Holdings Common Units”) which will equal the number of total shares of Dune’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Dune Class A Common Stock”), issued and outstanding immediately after the Closing (taking into account any equity financing agreements entered into by Dune between the signing date of the Purchase Agreement and the Closing and giving effect to all Dune Stockholder Redemptions) (such transactions, the “SPAC Contribution”) and (b) immediately after the SPAC Contribution, the members of the Company will transfer, convey, assign and deliver all of the limited liability company equity interests of the Company (“Company Units”) to Holdings in exchange for shares of Dune’s Class B voting non-economic common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Dune Class B Common Stock” and, together with Dune Class A Common Stock, “Dune Common Stock”), and Holdings Common Units (together with the SPAC Contribution, the “Combination Transactions”), as a result of which, (i) each issued and outstanding Company Unit immediately prior to the Combination Transactions will be held by Holdings, (ii) each Seller will receive an aggregate number of Holdings Common Units and shares of Dune Class B Common Stock equal to the number of Company Units held by such Seller, multiplied by the Company Exchange Ratio (as defined below), and (iii) Dune will change its name to Global Gas Corporation (“New Global Hydrogen”) and New Global Hydrogen will be the publicly traded reporting company in an “Up-C” Structure (clauses (i) through (iii) collectively, and together with the Combination Transactions and the other transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, being referred to collectively hereafter as the “Transactions”). 

On December 21, 2023 (the “Closing “), the Business Combination was consummated. In connection with the closing of such Business Combination, the Company changed its name to Global Gas Corporation, and on December 22, 2023, the Company’s Class A Common Stock (as defined below) and warrants began trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) under the new trading symbols of “HGAS” and “HGASW,” respectively.

In accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Purchase Agreement and the other transactions contemplated thereby (the “Business Combination”), at the closing of the Business Combination on December 21, 2023, (a) Dune contributed to Holdings all of its assets (excluding its interests in Holdings and the aggregate amount of cash proceeds required to satisfy redemptions by Dune’s public stockholders (“Stockholder Redemptions”)), and in exchange therefore, Holdings issued to Dune a number of common equity units of Holdings (“Holdings Common Units”) which equal the number of total shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”), of Dune issued and outstanding immediately after the Closing (giving effect to all Stockholder Redemptions) (such transactions, the “SPAC Contribution”) and (b) immediately after the SPAC Contribution, the Sellers transferred, conveyed, assigned and delivered all of the limited liability company equity interests of Global Hydrogen (“Global Hydrogen Units”) to Holdings in exchange for shares of Class B voting non-economic common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class B Common Stock”), of Dune and Holdings Common Units (together with the SPAC Contribution, the “Combination Transactions”), as a result of which, (i) each issued and outstanding Global Hydrogen Unit immediately prior to the Combination Transactions is now held by Holdings, (ii) each Seller received an aggregate number of Holdings Common Units and shares of Class B Common Stock, in each case, equal to the number of Global Hydrogen Units held by such Seller, multiplied by the applicable exchange ratio, and (iii) Dune changed its name to Global Gas Corporation and the Company became the publicly traded reporting company. The effective time of the Business Combination on the Closing Date is referred to as the “Effective Time.”

The Business Combination was accomplished through what is commonly referred to as an “Up-C” structure, which is often used by partnerships and limited liability companies undertaking an initial public offering. The “Up-C” structure allowed the Sellers, who became equity holders of Holdings upon the consummation of the Combination Transactions, to retain their equity ownership in Holdings, an entity that is classified as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes, in the form of Holdings Common Units after the Closing, and provides potential future tax benefits for both the Company and Holdings’ equity holders (other than the Company) after the Closing when they ultimately exchange their Holdings Common Units.

In accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Purchase Agreement, at the Closing, the issued and outstanding Global Hydrogen Units of each Seller were transferred, conveyed, assigned and delivered in exchange for (i) a number of shares of Class B Common Stock equal to the product of (x) the number of Global Hydrogen Units held by such Seller and (y) the exchange ratio determined by dividing (A) the quotient of $43,000,000 divided by the number of Global Hydrogen Units issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Closing by (B) $10.00 per share and (ii) a number of Holdings Common Units equal to the number of shares of Class B Common Stock received by such Seller pursuant to clause (i) hereof.

The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, although Dune acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of Global Hydrogen in the Business Combination, Dune was treated as the “acquired” company and Global Hydrogen was treated as the accounting acquirer for financial statement reporting purposes. Accordingly, the Business Combination was treated as the equivalent of Global Hydrogen issuing stock for the net assets of Dune, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Dune were stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Business Combination were those of Global Hydrogen. 

Employment Agreement

Effective June 17, 2024, William Bennet Nance, Jr., the former Chief Executive Officer of Global Hydrogen and a former director of the Company, was terminated by the Company for “Cause” (as defined in the employment agreement) and his related employment agreement with Global Hydrogen was terminated. Pursuant to the employment agreement, Mr. Nance’s termination as an officer triggered his immediate and automatic resignation as a director of the Company.

Forfeiture Agreements

On March 4, 2024, the Company entered into Forfeiture Agreements” with certain holders of the Company’s Class B common stock. Pursuant to the Forfeiture Agreements, such holders forfeited an aggregate of 1,600,000 Forfeited Shares in exchange for consideration previously received. After the forfeitures of the Forfeited Shares pursuant to the Forfeiture Agreements, such holders continue to hold an aggregate of 2,700,000 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock.

Delisting of common stock and warrants

On December 22, 2023, the Company received a notice (the “Notice”) from the staff of the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq indicating that, unless the Company timely requested a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”), the Company’s securities (common stock and warrants) would be subject to suspension and delisting from Nasdaq on January 3, 2024, due to the Company’s failure to satisfy the initial listing standards of The Nasdaq Capital Market upon closing of the Company’s previously announced business combination in accordance with Nasdaq Rule 5101-2. Specifically, the Company was unable to demonstrate compliance with the Stockholders Equity, Publicly Held Shares, Market Value of Listed Securities and Market Value of Publicly Held Shares requirements set forth in Nasdaq Rule 5505. The Company timely requested a hearing before the Panel, which resulted in a stay of any suspension or delisting action pending the hearing. The Company was granted until June 20, 2024 to demonstrate compliance with the above-referenced listing rules but was unable to do so by such date. As a result, on June 21, 2024, the Company received notice that the Panel had determined to delist the Company’s securities from Nasdaq and would suspend trading in its securities on the exchange effective at the open of business on June 25, 2024. Since the delisting, the Company’s common stock and warrants have been trading on the OTCQB with trading symbols “HGAS” and “HGASW”, respectively.

Results of Operations

As of September 30, 2024, the Company has not generated any revenue. As of September 30, 2024, the Company’s expenses have been related to initial operations and efforts to source materials for future projects and to undertake conversations with potential customers.

The following tables set forth our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and three months ended September 30, 2023 and the period from February 16, 2023 (inception) to September 30, 2023, and the dollar and percentage change between the two periods:

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses decreased by $11,657 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, primarily related to a reduction in franchise tax expense and professional fees, partially offset by an increase in legal fees.

General and administrative expenses decreased by $115,755 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the period from February 16, 2023 (inception) to September 30, 2023, primarily related to franchise tax expense and payroll expenses.

Start-up costs

Start-up cost of $574 was incurred at inception of the Company for the period from February 16, 2023 (inception) to September 30, 2023, respectively.

Interest income

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company earned $2,643 and $15,118, respectively, of interest income on cash equivalents.

For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and the period from February 16, 2023 (inception) to September 30, 2023, the Company earned $36 and $85, respectively, of interest income on cash equivalents.

Change in fair value of warrants liabilities

The change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $5,390 and $357,080, respectively, is recognized into other expense and other income, respectively for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.

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. The Company had $192,444 in cash and cash equivalents, a working capital deficit of $282,813, and an accumulated deficit of $197,439 as of September 30, 2024.

The Company intends to operate with its current cash and cash equivalents on hand. 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 consolidated financial statements are available to be issued. These 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 nine months ended September 30, 2024 and the period from February 16, 2023 (inception) to September 30, 2023.

The following table summarizes cash flows from operating and financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and the period from February 16, 2023 (inception) to September 30, 2023:

Cash flows from operating activities

Net cash and cash equivalents used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $1,265,884, primarily related the decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses, increase in deposit, increase in prepaid expenses and other receivables and change in fair value of warrant liabilities partially offset by an increase in deferred revenue and net income for the period.

Net cash and cash equivalents used in operating activities for the period from February 16, 2023 (inception) to September 30, 2023 was $96,715, primarily related to the net loss for the period partially offset by the increase in accounts payable and accrued expense.

Cash flows from financing activities

Net cash and cash equivalents provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $275,000, consisting of the proceeds received from forward purchase agreement contract.

Net cash and cash equivalents provided by financing activities during the period from February 16, 2023 (inception) to September 30, 2023 was $97,242, consisting primarily of capital contribution from members and proceeds from promissory notes – related party.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that impact the amounts reported in our 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 unaudited 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. Our critical policies are summarized in Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

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:

Management uses valuation techniques in measuring the fair value of financial instruments, where active market quotes are not available.

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 be (i) 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 consolidated balance sheets, and the amount initially recorded is not subsequently remeasured at fair value.

Business Combinations

The Company evaluates whether acquired net assets should be accounted for as a business combination or an asset acquisition by first applying a screen test to determine whether substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets. If so, the transaction is accounted for as an asset acquisition. If not, the Company applies its judgement to determine whether the acquired net assets meets the definition of a business by considering if the set includes an acquired input, process, and the ability to create outputs.

The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method when it has obtained control. The Company measures goodwill as the fair value of the consideration transferred including the fair value of any non-controlling interest recognized, less the net recognized amount of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, all measured at their fair value as of the acquisition date. Transaction costs, other than those associated with the issuance of debt or equity securities, that the Company incurs in connection with a business combination are expensed as incurred.

Any contingent consideration (“Earnout liabilities”) is measured at fair value at the acquisition date. For contingent consideration that does not meet all the criteria for equity classification, such contingent consideration is required to be recorded at its initial fair value at the acquisition date, and on each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of liability-classified contingent consideration are recognized on the consolidated statements of operations in the period of change.

When the initial accounting for a business combination has not been finalized by the end of the reporting period in which the transaction occurs, the Company reports provisional amounts. Provisional amounts are adjusted during the measurement period, which does not exceed one year from the acquisition date. These adjustments, or recognition of additional assets or liabilities, reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognized at that date.

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 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.

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 consolidated condensed financial statements to those of other public companies more difficult.

For the impact of recently issued accounting pronouncements on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, see Note 3 to the unaudited 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.

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.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Not required for smaller reporting companies.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls and procedures, no matter how well-conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired objectives of the control system. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15I and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2024. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2024, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Some of these claims, lawsuits, and other proceedings may range in complexity and result in substantial uncertainty; it is possible that they may result in damages, fines, penalties, non-monetary sanctions, or relief.
