NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2024

(Unaudited)

1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

Organization and nature of operations

Victory Clean Energy, Inc., formerly Victory Oilfield Tech, Inc. ("Victory"), a Nevada corporation, has historically operated as an oilfield technology products company offering patented oil and gas drilling products. On July 31, 2018, Victory entered into an agreement to acquire Pro-Tech Hardbanding Services, Inc., an Oklahoma corporation ("Pro-Tech"), which provides various hardbanding solutions to oilfield operators for drill pipe, weight pipe, tubing and drill collars.

On January 1, 2024, Victory completed a merger agreement with H2 Energy Group Inc., a Delaware corporation ("H2EG") (the "Merger"). As a result of the Merger, a change in control of Victory occurred, and H2EG became a wholly owned subsidiary of Victory. On January 1, 2024, Victory completed the sale of Pro-Tech to Flagstaff International, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. On January 11, 2024, Victory amended its Articles of Incorporation to authorize 2,000,000,000common shares and change its name to Victory Clean Energy, Inc.

H2EG uses scalable and modular technology to produce low-cost hydrogen-rich syngas from renewable woody biomass. The Company plans to construct a renewable hydrogen production facility and install four hydrogen refueling stations in California.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Victory and H2EG, its wholly owned subsidiary, for all periods presented. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts between Victory and H2EG (together, the "Company") have been eliminated.

The results reported in these consolidated financial statements should not be regarded as necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any future periods.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal and recurring accruals considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been included.

Going Concern

Historically the Company has experienced, and continues to experience, net losses, net losses from operations, negative cash flow from operating activities, and working capital deficits. The Company has incurred an accumulated deficit of $(5,520,967)through March 31, 2024, and has a working capital deficit of $(781,000)at March 31, 2024. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date of issuance of the consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result if the Company was unable to continue as a going concern.

The Company anticipates that operating losses will continue in the near term as its management continues its efforts to raise additional capital and pursue the development and implementation of clean, sustainable low-cost energy solutions with applications across various industries, including transportation, power generation, and industrial processes. Based upon anticipated new sources of capital, and cash flow from operations, it believes it will have enough capital to cover expenses through at least the next twelve months. The Company will continue to monitor liquidity carefully, and in the event it does not have enough capital to cover expenses, the Company will make the necessary and appropriate reductions in spending to remain cash flow positive. While management believes its plans, including the Merger, help mitigate the substantial doubt that they are a going concern, there is no guarantee that the Company's will be successful or if they are, will fully alleviate the conditions that raise substantial doubt that the Company is a going concern.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates are used primarily when accounting for depreciation and amortization expense, various common stock, warrants and option transactions, evaluation of intangible assets, and loss contingencies.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase that are readily convertible into cash to be cash equivalents. The Company had nocash equivalents at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, and accounts receivable. The Company places its cash equivalents with financial institutions and invests its excess cash primarily in certificates of deposit, deposit accounts or treasury bills. The Company has established guidelines relative to credit ratings and maturities that seek to maintain stability and liquidity.

Fair Value

Financial Accounting Standard Board, or FASB, Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, established a hierarchical disclosure framework associated with the level of pricing observability utilized in measuring fair value. This framework defined three levels of inputs to the fair value measurement process and requires that each fair value measurement be assigned to a level corresponding to the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The three broad levels of inputs defined by FASB ASC Topic 820 hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date;

Leve1 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, a Leve1 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and

Leve1 3 - unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. These unobservable inputs reflect the entity's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (which might include the reporting entity's own data).

At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the carrying value of the Company's financial instruments such as accounts payables approximated their fair values based on the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying value of short-term notes and advances approximated their fair values because the underlying interest rates approximated market rates at the balance sheet dates.

Website Development Costs

The Company capitalizes costs related to the development of their website in accordance with ASC 350- 50, Website Development Costs. The Company amortizes website development costs on a straight-line basis over the estimated life of the site, which is 36 months. Amortization begins at the completion of the website. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company capitalized $7,492for such costs. The website was placed in service in January 2022. During the first 10 months of 2022 additional costs of $6,660were capitalized and website improvements were placed in service on November 1, 2022. Nocosts were capitalized during the three months ended March 31, 2024. Amortization expense for the for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was $1,179.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets are assessed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. The impairment testing involves comparing the carrying amount to the forecasted undiscounted future cash flows generated by that asset. In the event the carrying value of the assets exceeds the undiscounted future cash flows generated by that asset and the carrying value is not considered recoverable, impairment exists. An impairment loss is measured as the excess of the asset's carrying value over its fair value, calculated using a discounted future cash flow method. An impairment loss would be recognized in net income (loss) in the period that the impairment occurs.

Revenue Recognition

The Company will recognize revenue in accordance with ASC 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company will determine revenue recognition through the following steps:

·	Identification of a contract with a customer;

·	Identification of the performance obligations in the contract;

·	Determination of the transaction price;

·	Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

·	Recognition of revenue when or as the performance obligations are satisfied.

Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. No revenue has been generated to date.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company from time to time may issue stock options, warrants and restricted stock as compensation to employees, directors, officers and affiliates, as well as to acquire goods or services from third parties. In all cases, the Company calculates share-based compensation using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and expenses awards based on fair value at the grant date on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. In the case of third-party suppliers, the service period is the shorter of the period over which services are to be received or the vesting period. For employees, directors, officers and affiliates, the service period is typically the vesting period. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company record $3,859,759and $0in share-based compensation expense, respectively. Share-based compensation is included in the consolidated statements of operations. See Note 7, Stockholders' Equity, for further information.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, which requires an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting of income taxes. Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of temporary differences between the amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and such amounts as measured by tax laws and regulations. Deferred tax assets, if any, include tax loss and credit carry forwards and are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Earnings per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share are calculated by dividing the Company's net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share are based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period plus potentially dilutive shares of common stock outstanding during the period such as options, warrants and convertible securities. Given the historical and projected future losses of the Company, all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents are considered anti-dilutive. The following potential common shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share available to common stockholders because their effect would have been antidilutive:

			Three Months Ended March 31,
			2024			2023
Warrants				102,284,990				-
Total				102,284,990				-

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-13, "Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments", and has since issued various amendments including ASU No. 2018-19, ASU No. 2019-04, and ASU No. 2019-05. The guidance and related amendments modify the accounting for credit losses for most financial assets and require the use of an expected loss model, replacing the currently used incurred loss method. Under this model, entities will be required to estimate the lifetime expected credit loss on such instruments and record an allowance to offset the amortized cost basis of the financial asset, resulting in a net presentation of the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. The Company adopted ASU-2016-13 effective January 1, 2023. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 had no material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

2. Reverse Merger and Reverse Recapitalization

Merger - Acquisition of H2 Energy Group Inc.

On January 1, 2024, Victory completed a merger agreement with H2EG (the "Merger"). As a result of the Merger, a change in control of Victory occurred, and H2EG became a wholly owned subsidiary of Victory.

Pursuant to the merger each share of H2EG's Capital Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (January 1, 2024), subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, was cancelled and extinguished and converted automatically into the right to receive 418,822,708shares of Victory's Common Stock ("Victory Common Stock").

As a result of the merger on the effective date of January 1, 2024, the H2EG Stockholders own 81% of Victory's issued and outstanding Common Stock immediately upon Closing. As contemplated in the Merger Agreement, Visionary Private Equity Group I, LP ("VPEG") Note holder converted the $3,868,726VPEG Note at the Effective Time in exchange for 50,961,957shares of common stock. In addition, holders of $1,087,000in convertible notes payable and $10,619in accrued interest. converted the notes into 18,423,728of common stock.

The Company analyzed the acquisition under applicable guidance and determined that the acquisition should be accounted as a reverse merger with H2EG as the accounting acquirer and Victory as the accounting acquiree. The financial reporting will reflect the accounting from the perspective of H2EG ("accounting acquirer"), except for the legal capital, which has retroactively adjusted to reflect the capital of Victory ("accounting acquiree") in accordance with ASC 805-40-45-1. The cost of the acquisition, which represents the consideration transferred to Victory's stockholders in the Victory Acquisition, was calculated based on the fair value of common stock of the combined company that Victory stockholders own as of the closing of the Victory Acquisition on January 1, 2024.

The merger transaction is considered to be a capital transaction of the legal acquiree and are equivalent to the issuance of shares by the private entity for the net monetary assets of the public shell corporation accompanied by a recapitalization.

The number of shares of Common Stock issued immediately following the consummation of the Reverse Recapitalization were as follows:

		Number of
		shares
Common Stock outstanding at January 1, 2024 prior to Merger			28,591,593
Convertible notes ($4,966,345) converted into common stock			69,385,685
Common stock issuable to H2EG holders			418,822,708
Total shares of Common Stock as of close of Reverse Recapitalization			516,799,986

3. Intangible Assets

Amortization expense for the for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was $1,179.

4. Related party transactions

Effective July 1, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement (the "License Agreement") for certain intellectual property with a related party. Under the terms of the License Agreement, $250,000was due in cash or stock of the Company upon signing, and the Company agreed to pay a running royalty of one-half percent (0.5%) of Company net sales. As this was a transaction with companies under common control, and there was no basis in the intellectual property, the license fee was expensed in full.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2023

Total Revenue

The Company had no revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

Personnel expenses

Personnel expenses increased by $282,153 in the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase was primarily due to hiring more personnel as a result of increased operations related to the merger.

General and administrative

General and administrative increased by $178,838 in the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023 due to an increase in operations as a result of the merger.

Professional fees

Professional fees increased by $97,961 in the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The professional fees in the current period were related to audit fees as a result of the merger.

The increase was due primarily to a gain on extinguishment of debt in the amount of $1,051,199 as a result of the merger, offset by a loss on disposal of subsidiary (Pro-Tech Hardbanding) in the amount of $328,794.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Going Concern

Historically we have experienced, and we continue to experience, net losses, net losses from operations, negative cash flow from operating activities, and working capital deficits. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date of issuance of the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result if we are unable to continue as a going concern.

We anticipate that operating losses will continue in the near term. We intend to meet near-term obligations with private placement offerings. We currently have no revenue from operations.

In addition to the commitment of $4,000,000 from Flagstaff, we will be required to obtain other liquidity resources in order to support ongoing operations. We are addressing this need by developing additional capital sources, to enable us to execute our growth plan involving the use of proprietary technology to produce low-cost Green Hydrogen from a wide variety of biomass sources.

While management believes our business plans, help mitigate the substantial doubt that we are a going concern, there is no guarantee that our plans will be successful or if they are, will fully alleviate the conditions that raise substantial doubt that we are a going concern.

Capital Resources

On January 1, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement with Flagstaff International, LLC under which Flagstaff committed to invest $4,000,000 in Victory in exchange for 67,797 Shares of Victory Series E Preferred Stock. As of March 31, 2024, Flagstaff has invested $250,000. As of October 17, 2024, Flagstaff has invested $1,772,500. The Company is currently reliant on this agreement to fund its current operations.

Material Cash Requirements

Our material short-term cash requirements include recurring payroll and benefits obligations for our employees, capital, operating expenditures, IP purchase/license payments and other working capital needs. We believe that material cash requirements for operating expenditures may range from $300,000 per month to $400,000 per month during the twelve months.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition.

Item 3. Qualitative and Quantitative Discussions about Market Risk

Not applicable.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Disclosure controls and procedures refer to controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As required by Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, we have evaluated, with the participation of our chief executive officer and principal financial officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2024. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and principal financial officer determined that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Changes in Internal Controls

We regularly review our system of internal control over financial reporting and make changes to our processes and systems to improve controls and increase efficiency, while ensuring that we maintain an effective internal control environment. Changes may include such activities as implementing new, more efficient systems, consolidating activities, and migrating processes.

During the evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2024, our management identified that the prior weaknesses have been remediated.

As a result of the merger the segregation of duties has been improved by the retention of a controller with oversight by the principal financial officer with support and review by a consulting accountant.

We have also engaged an IT firm provide training and oversight with respect to potential cyber security risks.

All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Except for the matters described above, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
