PART I

 

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

 

Bimergen Energy Corporation (the “Company”, “we” or “us”) was incorporated under the laws of Delaware on March 4, 1998. In connection with the Company’s planned expansion of its business following the completion of the acquisition of Bitech Mining Corporation, a Wyoming corporation (“BTM”), the Company amended to its Certificate of Incorporation on April 29, 2022 to change its corporate name to Bitech Technologies Corporation. On January 28, 2025, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Certificate to Incorporation to: (i) effect a reverse stock split of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) at a ratio of 1 post-split share for every 140 pre-split shares; and (ii) to change the name of the Company to Bimergen Energy Corporation.

 

We are a renewable energy project developer dedicated to enabling the clean energy transition and providing critical grid stability via solutions across a range of applications through our portfolio of utility-scale Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) and solar development projects. In April 2024, we acquired a portfolio of development-stage BESS and solar energy projects from Emergen Energy LLC (“Emergen”), making us the project owner of 23 development stage utility-scale BESS projects with an estimated cumulative storage capacity of 1.965 gigawatts (GW) and 13 development stage solar energy projects with an anticipated cumulative generation capacity of 1.640 GW (collectively, the “Development Projects”) once constructed and operational.

 

Our primary business objective is to become a grid-balancing operator by developing, commercializing, and operating a diversified portfolio of BESS and solar energy projects. We aim to leverage by partnering with advanced BESS technologies and Energy Management Systems (EMS) to address the critical challenges associated with the integration of renewable energy into the electrical grid, particularly the imbalance between energy supply and demand caused by the intermittent nature of solar and wind resources. This approach aligns with the increasing demand for grid stability in regions with high penetration of renewable energy, where imbalances between peak solar generation and peak energy demand create revenue opportunities through energy storage and dispatch. We plan to store excess energy generated during periods of low demand and dispatch it during peak demand periods, thereby enhancing grid stability and efficiency. Upon reaching commercial operation, we hope to play a key role in stabilizing grid demand and supporting renewable energy integration through energy arbitrage and ancillary services.

 

Core Business in Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)

 

Our core business is anchored in the development and operation of BESS projects, which are strategically designed to mitigate the energy imbalances and power deficits observed in markets with substantial solar and wind energy generation. This event, often depicted by the grid balancing, highlights the timing mismatch between peak renewable energy generation and peak electricity demand. As renewable energy production peaks during daylight hours and declines in the evening when energy demand is highest, supplemental energy supply sources become increasingly critical. Our BESS projects are positioned to address this imbalance by storing surplus energy during periods of low demand and releasing it during high-demand periods, capturing value from daily price fluctuations. By purchasing and storing energy during low-cost, high-supply hours and selling it during high-demand periods when prices are at their peak, known as energy arbitrage trading, our BESS systems will provide critical support to compensate for the lack of supply from the current outdated energy grid infrastructure.

 

In addition to energy arbitrage, our BESS assets are positioned to provide essential grid services, including frequency regulation, voltage support, and emergency backup during grid outages. Frequency regulation refers to the rapid response to changes in grid frequency, maintaining stability and preventing potential grid failures. Voltage control enhances the quality and reliability of power supplied to consumers. The rapid response capabilities also maintain stability for key infrastructure during outages via immediate response to fluctuations in voltage and frequency. By reducing demand imbalances at peak times, known as peak shaving, we hope to flatten the energy demand and lower electricity costs for consumers. By integrating advanced EMS controls, we aim to optimize the dispatch timing and increase the overall economic value of stored energy, delivering both reliable performance efficient operation in dynamic market conditions. Our systems will enable more flexible and adaptive grid operations, accommodating dynamic energy flows and diverse generation sources. These ancillary services both relieve grid stress, offer additional potential revenue streams, and maximize likelihood of punctual project development within budget and ensure product quality standards. We believe we are well- positioned to leverage our existing relationships to secure multi-year customer contracts prior to project construction and integrate cutting-edge battery technologies as they are developed into future developments. Our systems will also be capable of deferred infrastructure upgrades, which reduce the need for expensive grid infrastructure upgrades by efficiently managing local supply and demand.

 

We expect our BESS projects to be located alongside traditional power transmission lines or near large offtakers with high energy demands, enhancing grid stability and reducing energy costs. These locations are suitable for battery storage facilities of approximately thirty acres and undergo environmental studies and assessments to ensure feasibility. While the letters of intent the Company has entered into or negotiated for these projects are for specific locations, the Company’s development plans are not dependent on the landowner or address, but, rather, are county based. The Company believes it could adjust its plans to find a similar, suitable location if it is unable to negotiate a definitive agreement to develop a project with the landowner.

 

We maintain strong relationships with tier-one battery and equipment suppliers, utilities, and power purchasers to optimize transmission efficiency and lower consumer costs. We believe these partnerships may also help us secure regulatory support, ensure timely project development within budget, and uphold high product quality standards. Our strategic position allows us to secure multi-year customer contracts before project construction and integrate emerging battery technologies into future developments. Additionally, our systems are designed to enable deferred infrastructure upgrades, reducing the need for costly grid enhancements by efficiently managing local supply and demand.

 

Development Projects and Operational Progress

 

Our portfolio of Development Projects includes approximately 3.6 GW of alternating current (GWAC) power capacity across various regions served by Independent System Operators (ISOs) such as ERCOT, WECC, PJM, and MISO. These regions have been selected strategically based on favorable market conditions, grid infrastructure, and regulatory environments conducive to renewable energy integration. In connection with the Emergen transaction, we have secured rights to comprehensive “Work Product” Intangible assets essential for project development, including but not limited to: feasibility studies determining capacity and compatibility, establishing a production model of the project parameters, identifying any curtailment for the project, power flow site verification and substation identification, permitting and regulatory compliance documentation, engineering designs, equipment procurement plans, site preparation guidelines, and noting project specific challenges.

 

Subsequent to positive feasibility studies is the process of legal formation, analyzing and negotiating site control/surface and materials, and identifying engineering requirements for construction, identifying and negotiating interconnection to the grid, identifying tax abatements, and identifying permitting and study requirements, and noting additional project specific challenges. These assets provide a robust foundation for advancing our projects through the development lifecycle efficiently and effectively. We are in the process of negotiating grid interconnection agreements, ensuring compliance with applicable grid codes and standards, registering our projects for market participation, and coordinating with ISOs to align dispatch and grid service requirements. In addition, we are actively engaging with these ISOs to address cybersecurity compliance and to develop comprehensive monitoring and reporting frameworks, which are essential for maintaining operational integrity and grid support.

Our Redbird and Wildfire projects are currently the most advanced within our portfolio and are ready to proceed to the financing and construction phases. We are actively pursuing project-level debt and equity financing to fund the construction and/or operationalization of these projects. Upon securing financing, of which there can be no assurance we will be able to do so or do so on terms favorable to us, we intend to execute binding agreements with key counterparties, initiate site preparation activities, and commence construction in accordance with our development timelines. As part of the rights to the Work Product and continued development, we identify and negotiate with the appropriate counterparts in the specific project, but do not enter into binding contracts until specific project financing is obtained so as to not create liabilities before project financing is secured. We recognize the importance of managing risks associated with project development, including regulatory, technical, financial, and market risks. Our approach involves conducting thorough feasibility studies, engaging in proactive stakeholder consultations, and maintaining flexibility in project planning. We do not enter into binding contracts related to site control, equipment procurement, or construction until project-specific financing is secured, mitigating financial exposure. The next steps for these projects will include executing contracts with key counterparties, purchasing equipment, and initiating the construction process. Our current project pipeline consists of multiple BESS initiatives, with an estimated development timeline spanning eight to nine years.

 

BESS Market

 

The Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) industry is young but has experienced significant growth in the United States, driven by the integration of renewable energy, the need for grid stability, and various economic and policy incentives. According to Energy Storage News in March 2024, BESS installations “surged” with a 96% increase in cumulative capacity in 2023.

 

According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) report in January 2024, the U.S. battery storage capacity has been growing since 2021 and could increase by 89% by the end of 2024 if developers bring all of the energy storage systems they have planned on line by their intended commercial operation dates. Developers currently plan to expand U.S. battery capacity to more than 30 gigawatts (GW) by the end of 2024, a capacity that would exceed those of petroleum liquids, geothermal, wood and wood waste, or landfill gas.

 

 

Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) play a crucial role in managing the grid, and their importance is expected to increase as more electrification and AI data centers are installed across the United States and the world. In June 2024, Bloomberg data revealed electricity demands from AI data centers are outstepping the available power supply in many parts of the world as AI wreaks havoc on global power systems. The sharp increase in demand for AI clusters has resulted in a notable emphasis on data center capacity, placing significant strain on the power grid, generation capabilities, and environmental concerns. With this surge in demand for electricity, there is a corresponding need for efficient storage systems to balance supply and demand on the grid. The current benefits of BESS towards the grids are as follows:

 

  ● Grid Stability: BESS provides grid stabilization by balancing supply and demand, reducing the likelihood of blackouts and enhancing the reliability of the electrical grid.

  ● Renewable Energy Integration: BESS allows for the efficient integration of renewable energy sources like solar and wind by storing excess energy and releasing it when needed.
  ● Peak Shaving: BESS helps reduce peak demand charges for utilities and consumers by discharging stored energy during high-demand periods.
  ● Reduction of Fossil Fuel Dependence: By enabling more renewable energy use, BESS decreases the reliance on fossil fuel-based power generation, reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
  ● Emergency Backup: BESS provides critical backup power during emergencies and natural disasters, ensuring continuous power supply for essential services.

 

As we progress towards optimizing BESS operations for the future, several advantages become apparent:

 

  ● Grid Decentralization: Future BESS deployments will support a more decentralized grid, empowering local communities with greater energy independence and resilience.
  ● Cost Reduction: Advances in battery techs and economies of scale will continue to drive down the costs of BESS, making it more accessible and cost-effective for widespread use.
  ● Enhanced Renewable Penetration: With improved storage capabilities, BESS will support even higher levels of renewable energy penetration, facilitating the transition to a fully renewable energy grid.
  ● Electric Vehicle (EV) Integration: BESS will play a crucial role in managing the increased demand from EVs, enabling efficient charging infrastructure and energy management.

 

The BESS market is projected to grow exponentially, making it a massive and lucrative market. However, despite its rapid growth, there are currently limited players involved in this sector. Management believes this situation presents an opportunity for companies with extensive development and operating experience like Bimergen Energy today to enter and capitalize on this expanding market. As the US continues to transition towards cleaner energy sources, BESS systems will become even more critical in ensuring a stable and resilient power grid while reducing carbon emissions. We believe it is an exciting time for the BESS industry with immense potential for growth and innovation.

 

A report released in May 2024 by Aurora Energy Research on the use of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) in the ERCOT Market stated that these facilities have played a crucial role in Texas’ energy supply by providing dependable and affordable power during periods of high demand.

 

In February 2024, Canary Media issued a report stating that Texas will add more grid batteries in any other states in 2024. Due to its affordable land and thriving market, which are highly desirable for energy storage companies, the state of Texas is expected to surpass California in battery installations this year. In May 2024, the media company added that Texas rolled into 2024 with some 5.1 gigawatts of energy storage online, second only to mighty California. However, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) predicts Texas will complete another 6.4 gigawatts this year, outstripping California’s 5.2 gigawatts of new construction.

Emergen Energy Acquisition

 

On April 14, 2024, the Company, Emergen Energy LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Emergen”), Bridgelink Development, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Bridgelink”) and C & C Johnson Holdings LLC, the sole member of Bridgelink (“C&C”) entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “MIPA”) (the “Business Combination”).

 

On April 24, 2024 (the “Closing”) the Company completed the acquisition of Emergen pursuant to the MIPA whereby the Company issued 1,587,300 unregistered shares of its common stock to Emergen’s sole member, C&C Johnson Holdings LLC (“C&C”) in exchange for 100% of Emergen’s equity interests. C&C is controlled by Cole Johnson who became our President and a director following the Closing as well as the President of the Company’s BESS and Solar Divisions. In addition, Emergen became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company with C&C’s owning approximately 31.3% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s capital stock.

 

Originally, in a letter agreement executed and disclosed in January 2024 the above acquisition was contingent upon the parties entering into a definitive agreement which would contain certain conditions to close, including a commitment for a capital investment or other financing transaction of not less than $50,000,000 (the “Capital Infusion”) prior to closing. This Capital Infusion condition was negotiated out of the acquisition definitive agreement.

 

Emergen holds a portfolio of battery energy storage system (“BESS”) projects identified in the MIPA with a cumulative storage capacity estimated at 1.965 gigawatts (GW) upon completion of the construction of such project (the “BESS Development Projects”) and rights to develop a portfolio of solar energy development projects with a cumulative capacity estimated at 3.840 GW upon completion of construction of such project (the “Solar Development Projects,” together with the BESS Development Projects, collectively, the “Development Projects”). The Company agreed that following the Closing, the Company would take all commercially reasonable steps necessary to uplist the Company to the NASDAQ stock exchange. The Company’s uplist to NASDAQ in connection with the consummation of the offering contemplated in this prospectus will satisfy the terms set forth in the Closing.

 

We plan to raise the working capital and project specific financing we need to commence the Development Projects through future debt and equity financing. As of the date of this prospectus we have not established a reasonable expectation of both financing and completion of any of the Development Projects.

 

Development Projects are the result of a significant amount of feasibility studies determining capacity and compatibility, establishing production model of the project parameters, identifying any curtailment for the project, power flowsite verification and substation identification, and noting project specific challenges. Subsequent to positive feasibility studies is the development process of legal formation, analyzing and negotiating site control/surface and materials, identifying engineering requirements before construction, identifying and negotiating interconnection to the grid, identifying tax abatements, identifying permitting and study requirements, and noting project specific challenges. We identify and negotiate with the appropriate counterparts in the specific project but do not enter into binding contracts until specific project financing is obtained. Currently we have no binding contracts for our development projects.

 

Through Emergen, Bimergen Energy management will determine which projects will be developed and when, how financing arrangements will be pursued and accepted, and whether a project may be sold instead of developed, and the criteria for establishing the sale price.

 

Emergen was formed on April 4, 2024 and had no operating activity but held the Development Projects. The Development Projects were assigned to Emergen on April 23, 2024 with no cost basis and deemed to be intangible

 

From an accounting perspective, we treated the transaction as an acquisition of assets versus a business combination due to the lack of any operations. Also, the projects that were purchased in the acquisition were development stage and deemed to not be tangible assets under FASB 805-10-20 and have classified these as intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and are not amortized but are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the assets may be impaired. To the extent that an intangible asset is successfully developed into a revenue-generating asset, it will be relieved over time in the same time period as the property, plant and equipment purchased to have the project become a revenue-generating project. To the extent that an intangible asset is not successfully developed into a revenue-generating assets, it will be considered impaired and charged to operations at that time. The Company valued the transaction at the value of $22,222,200, the value of the restricted stock ($14.00 closing price per share on April 24, 2024) issued as consideration for Emergen. Emergen had no liabilities associated with it at the time of the transaction.

 

In December 2023, Bimergen received an initial purchase order from a strategic customer to implement a Building Energy Management System (BEMS) Virtual Power Plant (VPP) Program designed to save electricity for approximately 4,000 multi-dwelling units (MDUs). This customer is working with PJM, a Regional Transmission Organization (RTO) that coordinates the movement of wholesale electricity in the District of Columbia in the U.S. and all or parts of 13 states including Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia. We believe that our BEMS solutions can benefit building owners who get paid by RTOs for energy saving bonuses, which is in alignment with federal reward programs initiated by the U.S. Department of Energy (DoE). Our real time BEMS solutions are being designed to reduce energy consumption and enhance personalized temperature control options and comfort levels for tenants living in these MDUs. As of the date of this filing, the customer has yet to make the payment for us to commence production on this project and there has been no update since receipt of the purchase order.

On May 30, 2024, Emergen entered into a Project Sale Agreement (“Agreement”) with Bridgelink for an estimated 2.425 GW of Emergen’s estimated 3.840 GW of solar energy development projects. Bridgelink has sold these greenfield projects, along with projects in its own portfolio, to an unrelated third party (“Purchaser”) which also executed that agreement on May 30, 2024. The total amount to be received by Emergen for the projects sold to Bridgelink is $19,400,000, provided the projects achieve a Point of Interconnection and subsequently obtain all Necessary Land Rights. Bridgelink retains the option to transfer or return certain or all projects within ten (10) days written notice to Emergen. A deposit from Bridgelink will be received within five business days of the execution of the agreement for $943,500 and Emergen will pay 62.5% ($589,687.50) to Energy Independent Partners LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, (“EIP”) in accordance with the Project Management Services Agreement by and between (i) Bimergen Energy; (ii) Emergen; and (iii) EIP and the remaining 37.5% (353,812.50) of the proceeds shall remain with Emergen. The remaining proceeds of $18,456,500 shall be received within five business days of when Bridgelink receives milestone payments from the Purchaser for these projects. This Agreement is still in effect and there have been no changes to the Agreement. The $943,500 deposit was paid to Emergen in June 2024.

 

In the event that Purchaser, under the purchase agreement decides to transfer any Project along with its interests to Bridgelink or any creditworthy entity designated by Bridgelink (“Returned Project”), Bridgelink shall provide written notice to Emergen within ten (10) business days of receipt of such notice from the Purchaser and Bridgelink shall convey, transfer, assign, deliver, and contribute over certain rights and interests to the Returned Project to Emergen within ten (10) business days of receipt of such Returned Project, unless otherwise agreed upon by Emergen in writing. For clarity, any creditworthy entity designated by Bridgelink shall be confirmed in writing by Emergen. Bridgelink is to receive payment from the Purchaser no later than March 31 of the year following each calendar year end for any milestones that have been achieved during that calendar year. Emergen is to receive payment within five days from Bridgelink receiving payment from the Purchaser. Effective December 31, 2024, Emergen and Bridgelink amended the Agreement to provide that Bridgelink could only return a Project if it has not yet made a milestone payment to Emergen on prior to the seventh (7th) anniversary of the Effective Date of the Agreement

 

The Projects sold by Emergen to Bridgelink are in what are termed as “Greenfield Projects.” With respect to each Greenfield Project, Emergen will be paid:

 

(i) $5,000 per megawatt (in alternating current) measured at the Point of Interconnection after such Greenfield Project has secured all necessary land rights as determined in good faith ($12,125,000 for the estimated 2,425 megawatts sold); and

 

(ii) $3,000 per megawatt (in alternating current) measured at the Point of Interconnection when the relevant Greenfield Project has achieved ready-to-build (RTB) status as determined in good faith ($7,275,000 for the estimated 2,435 megawatts sold.

 

There is no specified timeframe for the milestones to be achieved.

 

The deposit has been recorded as proceeds received on sale of intangible assets - subject to return rights until there is no longer a right to return the Projects. The remainder of the transaction is disclosed as a footnote to the financial statements but not recorded within the financial statements. All payments that are received will be recorded as proceeds received on sale of intangible assets - subject to return rights with proper footnote explanation of the transaction and will not be recorded as revenue until the right Bridgelink to return the Project and request a full refund no longer exists. There are no other sale contingencies besides those disclosed herein.

 

The following agreements were entered into on the date of Closing as provided for in the MIPA:

 

Project Management Services Agreement

On April 20, 2025 the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Emergen Energy, LLC, executed a definitive agreement with RelyEZ Energy Group to form a joint venture to develop, construct, and operate up to 2 GW of utility-scale battery-energy-storage projects (2- to 4-hour BESS) in the United States through 2027.

 

Capital commitments. RelyEZ has committed up to $50 million, including an initial $10 million funding within 10 days of closing. The Company will contribute up to $12.5 million on a pro-rata basis after the first $10 million from RelyEZ.

 

Ownership and economics. Until project refinancing, each project SPV will be owned 80 % by RelyEZ and 20 % by Emergen. After refinancing, the Company may repurchase RelyEZ’s interest at cost plus a 12 % annual return.

 

Initial projects. Four Texas projects totaling approximately 274 MW / 773 MWh (Redbird, Dos Rios, White Rock, and Oak Hill) are expected to reach notice-to-proceed (NTP) within six months of closing.

 

Status of accounting evaluation. This agreement was executed after December 31, 2024; therefore, no amounts related to the joint venture are reflected in the accompanying 2024 financial statements.

 

Employees

 

As of December 31, 2024, the Company currently employed a total of 6 individuals in executive or managerial positions. This includes three full-time employees and three contracted consultants who bring their expertise and experience to our team. To date, we have not experienced any work stoppages and we consider our relationship with our employees to be good. None of our employees are either represented by a labor union or are subject to a collective bargaining agreement.

ITEM 1C. CYBERSECURITY.

 

Cybersecurity Risk Management and Strategy

 

We recognize the importance of assessing, identifying, and managing material risks associated with cybersecurity threats, as such term is defined in Item 106(a) of Regulation S-K. These risks include, among other things: operational risks, intellectual property theft, fraud, extortion, harm to employees or customers and violation of data privacy or security laws.

 

We do not presently have any general processes for assessing, identifying, and managing material risks from cybersecurity threats. As we expand our business operations, we plan to develop processes that will allow for the identification and assessment of cybersecurity risk that will be integrated into an overall risk management system, which will be managed by senior management and overseen by the Board of Directors. As part of this development, we plan to identify and address cybersecurity risks related to our business, privacy and compliance issues through a multi-faceted approach that is expected to include third party assessments, internal information technology (IT) audit, IT security, governance, risk and compliance reviews. In connection with these planned approaches, and to defend, detect and respond to cybersecurity incidents, we, among other things, will consider: conducting proactive privacy and cybersecurity reviews of systems and applications, audits of applicable data policies, performing penetration testing using external third-party tools and techniques to test security controls, conducting employee training, monitoring emerging laws and regulations related to data protection and information security, and implementing appropriate changes.

 

As part of the above planned processes, we may engage external auditors and consultants with expertise in cybersecurity to assess our internal cybersecurity programs and compliance with applicable practices and standards.

 

We plan to design our risk management program to also assesses third party risks, and we plan to perform third-party risk management to identify and mitigate risks from third parties, such as vendors, suppliers, and other business partners associated with our use of third-party service providers. In addition to new vendor onboarding, we plan to perform risk management during third-party cybersecurity compromise incidents to identify and mitigate risks to us from third-party incidents.

 

Cybersecurity Governance

 

We expect that cybersecurity will become an important part of our risk management processes and an area of focus for our Board of Directors and management. We expect that our Board of Directors will be responsible for the oversight of risks from cybersecurity threats. We expect our senior management will provide our Board of Directors updates on a quarterly basis regarding matters of cybersecurity. This is expected to include existing and new cybersecurity risks, status on how management is addressing and/or mitigating those risks, cybersecurity and data privacy incidents (if any) and status on key information security initiatives. We expect that our Board members will also engage in periodic conversations with management on cybersecurity-related news events and discuss any updates to our cybersecurity risk management and strategy programs.

 

Currently, our Chief Executive Officer is expected to lead our cybersecurity risk assessment and management processes and oversees their implementation and maintenance. Our Chief Executive Officer will be tasked with staying informed about, and monitoring the prevention, mitigation, detection and remediation of cybersecurity incidents through his management of, and participation in, the cybersecurity risk management and strategy processes we plan to develop and as described above, including the operation of an incident response plan, and report to the Board of Directors on any appropriate items.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

 

Our principal executive offices are located at 895 Dove Street, Suite 300, Newport Beach, CA 92660. We occupy this location pursuant to a lease that may be terminated by us on 90 days prior notice.

 

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

As of the date of this Annual Report, to our knowledge, there are no legal proceedings or regulatory actions material to us to which we are a party, or have been a party to, or of which any of our property is or was the subject matter of, and no such proceedings or actions are known by us to be contemplated except as provided below:

 

Due to the misrepresentations and omissions of SuperGreen, Calvin C. Cao and Michael H. Cao, among other reasons, the Company filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court, Central District of California on February 2, 2023 against SuperGreen, Michael H. Cao, Linh T. Dao, Calvin C. Cao and entities affiliated with them alleging fraud-concealment, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty-duty of good faith, breach of fiduciary duty-undivided loyalty, conversion and violation of California Penal Code Sec. 496 (the “Cao Lawsuit”). This lawsuit seeks compensatory damages of at least $33.6 million, treble and punitive damages, imposition of a constructive trust over the defendants assets, pre-judgment and post-judgment interest, attorney’s fees and such other relief as determined by the court.

 

Settled Matters

 

Effective February 20, 2023, the Company, together with its wholly owned subsidiary Bitech Mining Corporation, entered into a Confidential Settlement, Mutual Release, and Share Transfer Agreement (the “C. Cao Settlement Agreement”) with C. Cao and SuperGreen (collectively, the “C. Cao Parties”). The C. Cao Settlement Agreement settled the Cao Lawsuit as to the C. Cao Parties. Pursuant to the C. Cao Settlement Agreement, the C. Cao Parties terminated the License Agreement and SuperGreen canceled 367,913 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share issued by the Company to SuperGreen pursuant to the License Agreement. In addition, the parties to the C. Cao Settlement Agreement agreed to a mutual general release of liabilities against each other, refrain from making any disparaging remarks about each other and the Company’s filing a dismissal with prejudice of the Cao Lawsuit as to the C. Cao Parties

 

Effective October 7, 2024, the Company entered into a Confidential Settlement, Mutual Release, and Share Transfer Agreement (the “Thomason Settlement Agreement”) with Mr. Thomason. Pursuant to the Thomason Settlement Agreement, the Company canceled 18,396 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share previously issued by the Company to Mr. Thomason. In addition, the parties to the Thomason Settlement Agreement agreed to a mutual general release of liabilities against each other, refrain from making any disparaging remarks about each other and the Company’s filing a dismissal with prejudice as to Mr. Thomason in the Cao State Court Lawsuit.

 

Unsettled Matters

 

On March 6, 2023, Michael Cao and Linh Dao filed a pro se Motion to Dismiss for Lack of Jurisdiction. On April 17, 2023, the court dismissed the Cao Lawsuit without prejudice due to a lack of subject matter jurisdiction. On April 18, 2023, the Company filed a complaint against Michael H. Cao, Linh T. Dao, B & B Investment and Cory Thomason in the Orange County California Superior Court containing substantially the same allegations included in the Cao Lawsuit (the “Cao State Court Lawsuit”). Mr. Thomason was dismissed from the Cao State Court Lawsuit on November 8, 2024. The Company continues to pursue the Cao State Court Lawsuit as to the remaining defendants in that case, namely Michael Cao, Linh Dao, and B&B Investment.

After serving Defendants Mr. Cao, Ms. Dao and B & B Investment on April 26, 2023, the Defendants (pro se) filed a Motion to Quash Service of Summons; Motion to Dismiss or Stay Complaint (the “B & B Motions”). In response, the Company filed a Motion to Strike B & B Investment’s motion (the “Motion to Strike”), Request for Sanctions in Amount of $2,400 and Request for Default as to B & B Investment because it is being impermissibly represented by Michael H. Cao who is engaging in the unauthorized practice of law as to a corporate entity. On October 13, 2023, the Court granted in part the Company’s unopposed Motion to Strike, striking the B & B Investment Motions and ordering B &B Investment to retain an attorney no later than October 27, 2023 or be subject to default because corporate entities are not permitted to appear in court without an attorney. The Court denied Mr. Cao’s Motion to Quash and took Linh Dao’s Motion to Quash off calendar, thus keeping all Defendants in the case. The Court ruled that Michael Cao already waived his rights to file such a motion by making a general appearance in the case and noted that Defendants failed to appear at the hearing. On or about October 27, 2023, the Company’s counsel received an initial communication from an attorney attaching responses to the Company’s complaint on behalf of Mr. Cao and B&B Investment. On November 27, 2023, Mr. Cao and B&B Investment filed a Demurrer to the Complaint and Motion to Strike Portions of the Complaint. On May 10, 2024, the court heard responses to the Company’s complaint and motions filed by Mr. Cao. The court sustained the demurrer to the first, second, fifth, and sixth causes of action, granting 30 days to amend. It overruled the demurrer to the third and fourth causes of action. The court also sustained the motion to strike paragraph 6 of the prayer for relief and granted the motion to strike punitive damages with leave to amend. A case management conference was set for August 19, 2024.

 

The Company filed a first amended complaint in the Cao State Court Lawsuit on June 7, 2024. On July 10, 2024, the counsel for Mr. Cao, B & B Investment, and Ms. Dao filed motions to be relieved, which the court granted on August 2, 2024. The case management conference was postponed to November 25, 2024. Defendants had until August 16, 2024 to file a response to the first amended complaint but failed to do so, leading to defaults being entered against them on August 23, 2024. The Company filed applications for default judgment against Mr. Cao, Ms. Dao and B & B Investment on November 8, 2024, that are pending review by the Court. On November 18, 2024, the Court vacated the case management conference and set an order to show cause hearing for April 28, 2025, and ordered the Company to submit a default judgment packet in advance of that date.

 

Current Status

 

Thus far, the Company has recovered 386,309 shares of the Company’s common stock from the C. Cao Settlement Agreement and the Thomason Settlement Agreement. The Company has not otherwise received any cash recovery to date. The Company is seeking return of the remaining 1,287,694 shares of the Company’s common stock through the default judgment sought against Mr. Cao, Ms. Dao and B & B Investment in the Cao State Court Lawsuit, as well as $29,309 in damages, prejudgment interest, and costs.

 

Litigation Assessment

 

We have evaluated the foregoing Cao Lawsuit to assess the likelihood of any unfavorable outcome and to estimate, if possible, the amount of potential loss as it relates to the litigation. Based on this assessment and estimate, which includes an understanding of our intention to vigorously prosecute the Cao Lawsuit, we believe that the potential defenses of any of the remaining defendants lack merit, however, and we cannot predict the likelihood of any recoveries by any of our claims against the remaining defendants. This assessment and estimate is based on the information available to management as of the date of this Annual Report and involves a significant amount of management judgment, including the inherent difficulty associated with assessing litigation matters in their early stages. As a result, the actual outcome or loss may differ materially from those envisioned by the current assessment and estimate. Our failure to successfully prosecute, defend or settle the Cao Litigation with the remaining defendants could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, revenue and profitability and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

Overview of the Business

 

We are a renewable energy project developer dedicated to enabling the clean energy transition and providing critical grid stability via solutions across a range of applications through our portfolio of utility-scale Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) and solar development projects. In April 2024, we acquired a portfolio of development-stage BESS and solar energy projects from Emergen Energy LLC (“Emergen”), making us the project owner of 23 development stage utility-scale BESS projects with an estimated cumulative storage capacity of 1.965 gigawatts (GW) and 13 development stage solar energy projects with an anticipated cumulative generation capacity of 1.640 GW (collectively, the “Development Projects”) once constructed and operational.

 

Our primary business objective is to become a grid-balancing operator by developing, commercializing, and operating a diversified portfolio of BESS and solar energy projects. We aim to leverage by partnering with advanced BESS technologies and Energy Management Systems (EMS) to address the critical challenges associated with the integration of renewable energy into the electrical grid, particularly the imbalance between energy supply and demand caused by the intermittent nature of solar and wind resources. This approach aligns with the increasing demand for grid stability in regions with high penetration of renewable energy, where imbalances between peak solar generation and peak energy demand create revenue opportunities through energy storage and dispatch. We plan to store excess energy generated during periods of low demand and dispatch it during peak demand periods, thereby enhancing grid stability and efficiency. Upon reaching commercial operation, we hope to play a key role in stabilizing grid demand and supporting renewable energy integration through energy arbitrage and ancillary services.

 

Core Business in Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)

 

Our core business is anchored in the development and operation of BESS projects, which are strategically designed to mitigate the energy imbalances and power deficits observed in markets with substantial solar and wind energy generation. This event, often depicted by the grid balancing, highlights the timing mismatch between peak renewable energy generation and peak electricity demand. As renewable energy production peaks during daylight hours and declines in the evening when energy demand is highest, supplemental energy supply sources become increasingly critical. Our BESS projects are positioned to address this imbalance by storing surplus energy during periods of low demand and releasing it during high-demand periods, capturing value from daily price fluctuations. By purchasing and storing energy during low-cost, high-supply hours and selling it during high-demand periods when prices are at their peak, known as energy arbitrage trading, our BESS systems will provide critical support to compensate for the lack of supply from the current outdated energy grid infrastructure.

 

In addition to energy arbitrage, our BESS assets are positioned to provide essential grid services, including frequency regulation, voltage support, and emergency backup during grid outages. Frequency regulation refers to the rapid response to changes in grid frequency, maintaining stability and preventing potential grid failures. Voltage control enhances the quality and reliability of power supplied to consumers. The rapid response capabilities also maintain stability for key infrastructure during outages via immediate response to fluctuations in voltage and frequency. By reducing demand imbalances at peak times, known as peak shaving, we hope to flatten the energy demand and lower electricity costs for consumers. By integrating advanced EMS controls, we aim to optimize the dispatch timing and increase the overall economic value of stored energy, delivering both reliable performance efficient operation in dynamic market conditions. Our systems will enable more flexible and adaptive grid operations, accommodating dynamic energy flows and diverse generation sources. These ancillary services both relieve grid stress, offer additional potential revenue streams, and maximize likelihood of punctual project development within budget and ensure product quality standards. We believe we well- positioned to leverage our existing relationships to secure multi-year customer contracts prior to project construction and integrate cutting-edge battery technologies as they are developed into future developments. Our systems will also be capable of deferred infrastructure upgrades, which reduce the need for expensive grid infrastructure upgrades by efficiently managing local supply and demand.

 

We expect our BESS projects to be located alongside traditional power transmission lines or near large offtakers with high energy demands, enhancing grid stability and reducing energy costs. These locations are suitable for battery storage facilities of approximately thirty acres and undergo environmental studies and assessments to ensure feasibility. While the letters of intent the Company has entered into or negotiated for these projects are for specific locations, the Company’s development plans are not dependent on the landowner or address, but, rather, are county based. The Company believes it could adjust its plans to find a similar, suitable location if it is unable to negotiate a definitive agreement to develop a project with the landowner.

 

20

 

 

We maintain strong relationships with tier-one battery and equipment suppliers, utilities, and power purchasers to optimize transmission efficiency and lower consumer costs. We believe these partnerships may also help us secure regulatory support, ensure timely project development within budget, and uphold high product quality standards. Our strategic position allows us to secure multi-year customer contracts before project construction and integrate emerging battery technologies into future developments. Additionally, our systems are designed to enable deferred infrastructure upgrades, reducing the need for costly grid enhancements by efficiently managing local supply and demand.

 

Development Projects and Operational Progress

 

Our portfolio of Development Projects includes approximately 3.6 GW of alternating current (GWAC) power capacity across various regions served by Independent System Operators (ISOs) such as ERCOT, WECC, PJM, and MISO. These regions have been selected strategically based on favorable market conditions, grid infrastructure, and regulatory environments conducive to renewable energy integration. In connection with the Emergen transaction, we have secured rights to comprehensive “Work Product” Intangible assets essential for project development, including but not limited to: feasibility studies determining capacity and compatibility, establishing a production model of the project parameters, identifying any curtailment for the project, power flow site verification and substation identification, permitting and regulatory compliance documentation, engineering designs, equipment procurement plans, site preparation guidelines, and noting project specific challenges.

 

Subsequent to positive feasibility studies is the process of legal formation, analyzing and negotiating site control/surface and materials, and identifying engineering requirements for construction, identifying and negotiating interconnection to the grid, identifying tax abatements, and identifying permitting and study requirements, and noting additional project specific challenges. These assets provide a robust foundation for advancing our projects through the development lifecycle efficiently and effectively. We are in the process of negotiating grid interconnection agreements, ensuring compliance with applicable grid codes and standards, registering our projects for market participation, and coordinating with ISOs to align dispatch and grid service requirements. In addition, we are actively engaging with these ISOs to address cybersecurity compliance and to develop comprehensive monitoring and reporting frameworks, which are essential for maintaining operational integrity and grid support.

 

Our Redbird and Wildfire projects are currently the most advanced within our portfolio and are ready to proceed to the financing and construction phases. We are actively pursuing project-level debt and equity financing to fund the construction and/or operationalization of these projects. Upon securing financing, of which there can be no assurance we will be able to do so or do so on terms favorable to us, we intend to execute binding agreements with key counterparties, initiate site preparation activities, and commence construction in accordance with our development timelines. As part of the rights to the Work Product and continued development, we identify and negotiate with the appropriate counterparts in the specific project, but do not enter into binding contracts until specific project financing is obtained so as to not create liabilities before project financing is secured. We recognize the importance of managing risks associated with project development, including regulatory, technical, financial, and market risks. Our approach involves conducting thorough feasibility studies, engaging in proactive stakeholder consultations, and maintaining flexibility in project planning. We do not enter into binding contracts related to site control, equipment procurement, or construction until project-specific financing is secured, mitigating financial exposure. The next steps for these projects will include executing contracts with key counterparties, purchasing equipment, and initiating the construction process. Our current project pipeline consists of multiple BESS initiatives, with an estimated development timeline spanning eight to nine years. The Redbird and Wildfire projects are prioritized, as they are closest to a ready-to-build status. The current progress of our portfolio of 23 BESS projects and 13 Solar Projects are included in the table below:

Funding is initially being sought from tier one lenders and alternative financing institutions currently funding renewable energy projects. We currently are focusing our efforts on the BESS projects for financing and operations and with the current project profile expect to have an 8 to 9 year pipeline of existing BESS projects. If for any reason a project is not developed or constructed due to lack of funding we will either sell the project in its current development stage, partner with another group on that specific BESS project or close down the project if it is no longer seen to be a viable project.

Corporate History

 

Bimergen Energy Corporation was incorporated under the laws of Delaware on March 4, 1998. The Company acquired Bitech Mining Corporation (“BTM”) on March 31, 2022 pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement. Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement we acquired an aggregate of 673,659 shares of BTM’s common stock representing 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of BTM in exchange for an aggregate of 9,000,000 shares of the Company’s newly authorized Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Effective June 27, 2022, each share of Series A Preferred Stock automatically converted into 0.385541 shares (an aggregate of 3,469,866 shares) of the Company’s Common Stock upon filing of an amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation increasing the number of the Company’s authorized common stock to 1,000,000,000. Upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, the former share owners of BTM held, in the aggregate, approximately 96% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s capital stock on a fully diluted basis.

 

The Share Exchange was treated as a recapitalization and reverse acquisition for financial reporting purposes, and BTM is considered the acquirer for accounting purposes. As a result of the Share Exchange and the change in our business and operations, a discussion of the past financial results of our predecessor, Spine Injury Solutions Inc., is not pertinent, and under applicable accounting principles, the historical financial results of BTM, the accounting acquirer, prior to the Share Exchange are considered our historical financial results. The Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on April 29, 2022 to change its name to Bitech Technologies Corporation. On January 28, 2025, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Certificate to Incorporation to: (i) effect a reverse stock split of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) at a ratio of 1 post-split share for every 140 pre-split shares; and (ii) to change the name of the Company to Bimergen Energy Corporation.

 

On April 24, 2024 (the “Closing”) the Company completed the acquisition of Emergen in accordance with the MIPA whereby the Company issued 1,587,300 unregistered shares of its common stock to Emergen’s sole member, C&C Johnson Holdings LLC (“C&C”) in exchange for 100% of Emergen’s equity interests. C&C is controlled by Cole Johnson who became our President and a director following the Closing as well as the President of the Company’s BESS and Solar Divisions. In addition, Emergen became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company with C&C’s owning approximately 31.3% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s capital stock.

 

Emergen holds a portfolio of battery energy storage system (“BESS”) projects identified in the MIPA with a cumulative storage capacity estimated at 1.965 gigawatts (GW) upon completion of the construction of such project (the “BESS Development Projects”) and rights to develop a portfolio of solar energy development projects with a cumulative capacity estimated at 1.640 GW upon completion of construction of such project (the “Solar Development Projects,” together with the BESS Development Projects, collectively, the “Development Projects”). The Company agreed that following the Closing, the Company would take all commercially reasonable steps necessary to uplist the Company to the NASDAQ stock exchange. The Company’s uplist to NASDAQ in connection with the consummation of the offering contemplated in this prospectus will satisfy the terms set forth in the Closing.

 

In December 2023, Bimergen received an initial purchase order from a strategic customer to implement a Building Energy Management System (BEMS) Virtual Power Plant (VPP) Program designed to save electricity for approximately 4,000 multi-dwelling units (MDUs). This customer is working with PJM, a Regional Transmission Organization (RTO) that coordinates the movement of wholesale electricity in the District of Columbia in the U.S. and all or parts of 13 states including Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia. We believe that our BEMS solutions can benefit building owners who get paid by RTOs for energy saving bonuses, which is in alignment with federal reward programs initiated by the U.S. Department of Energy (DoE). Our real time BEMS solutions are being designed to reduce energy consumption and enhance personalized temperature control options and comfort levels for tenants living in these MDUs. As of the date of this filing, the customer has yet to make the payment for us to commence production on this project and there has been no update since receipt of the purchase order.

The following agreements were entered into on the date of Closing as provided for in the MIPA:

 

Project Management Services Agreement

 

At the Closing, the Company and Emergen entered into a Project Management Services Agreement (the “PMSA”) with Energy Independent Partners LLC (“Energy Independent Partners”), an entity owned or controlled by Mr. Johnson. Pursuant to the terms of the PMSA, Energy Independent Partners is obligated to provide the following project management services in connection with the development and operation of each of the Development Projects (collectively, the “Services”): (i) assist as needed with qualifying the Development Projects for financing; (ii) assist as needed with obtaining all permits required for development of the Development Projects which have sufficient rights to use all necessary real property, and for which the applicable draft interconnection agreement has been received for the Development Projects (“RTB Status”); and (iii) if Emergen foregoes the development of a Development Project, Energy Independent Partners will assist the Company as needed with marketing the Development Project to a third party or develop and retain the Development Project outside of Emergen.

 

Payment for Service. The Issuer agreed to pay Energy Independent Partners the following fees for providing the Services:

 

BESS Development Fees. In consideration of the provision of the Services related to the BESS Development Projects, and subject to the terms and conditions herein, during the Term, Bitech shall pay EIP the following amounts per BESS Development Project: $0.035 per W for each applicable BESS Development Project, subject to such BESS Development Project achieving sufficient project specific equity or debt financing from third parties to fund the payment of the fees (“BESS Development Fees”). Currently, the Company is focusing on developing the BESS projects and the total fees related to all 23 of the BESS projects would be the $0.035 per watt multiplied by the estimated capacity 1.965 GW (1,965,000,000 watts) or approximately $69 million.

 

Solar Development Fees. In consideration of the provision of the Services related to the Solar Development Projects, and subject to the terms and conditions herein, during the Term, Bitech shall pay EIP the following amounts per Solar Development Project: $0.035 per W for each applicable Solar Development Project, subject to such Solar Development Project achieving sufficient project specific equity or debt financing from third parties to fund the payment of the fees (“Solar Development Fees”). The Solar projects still in the Emergen portfolio have an estimated capacity of 1.640 GW and would have Solar Development Fees of approximately $57 million if developed.

 

If any Development Projects pursuant to the Agreement are sold by Emergen to a third-party then EIP would be due the greater of: (i) any unpaid project’s specific BESS Development Fees or Solar Development Fees defined in the PMSA agreement; or (ii) 62.5% of the proceeds less any project specific BESS Development Fees or Solar Development Fees paid previously.

 

Other Development Fees. For each other renewable energy development asset held by the Company, which are neither BESS Development Projects nor Solar Development Projects, located in the United States in which the Company engages during the term of the PMSA (the “Other Development Projects”), the Company shall pay Energy Independent Partners the higher of either (a) fifty percent (50%) of the gross margin or (b) $0.02 per watt in cash, subject to such Other Development Project achieving RTB Status (the “Other Development Fees”).

 

Timing of Payment of Fees

 

The BESS Development Fees shall be due and payable upon (i) Bitech, or any of its Affiliates, receiving project financing directly related to and collateralized by BESS Projects, this specifically excludes any general public or private offerings by Bitech not directly related to financing a BESS Project, and (ii) when a BESS Project’s financing funding terms is sufficient to pay the project specific Development Fees. EIP will be paid on the same timing as the funding terms. For example: if the terms for development fees are 50% at acceptance, 40% RTB and 10% at COD then EIP will be paid as the project development fees are funded.

 

These fees will be recorded as liabilities once the above contingencies and milestones are met, the most important being that of appropriate project financing enabling payment of these fees.

 

Acceleration of Payment Clause: Within ninety (90) days (i) of the effective date of a Change of Control or (ii) the removal of Cole W. Johnson as an employee or consultant to Emergen and/or the head of the BESS and Solar Division of Bimergen Energy, any remaining BESS Initial Fee and Solar Initial Fee shall become due and payable. A “Change of Control” shall be deemed to have occurred if, after the Effective Date, (x) the beneficial ownership (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) of securities representing more than 50% of the combined voting power of the Company is acquired by any “person” as defined in sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act (other than the Company, any subsidiary of the Company, or any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company); (y) the merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation where the shareholders of the Company, immediately prior to the consolidation or merger, would not, immediately after the consolidation or merger, beneficially own (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, shares representing in the aggregate 50% or more of the combined voting power of the securities of the corporation issuing cash or securities in the consolidation or merger (or of its ultimate parent corporation, if any) in substantially the same proportion as their ownership of the Company immediately prior to such merger or consolidation; or (z) the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to an entity, other than a sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to an entity, at least 50% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of which are owned directly or indirectly by shareholders of the Company, immediately prior to the sale or disposition, in substantially the same proportion as their ownership of the Company immediately prior to such sale or disposition.

 

25

 

 

If any Development Projects pursuant to the Agreement are sold by Emergen to a third-party then EIP would be due the greater of: (i) any unpaid project’s specific BESS Development Fees or Solar Development Fees defined in Section 2.06; or (ii) 62.5% of the proceeds less any project specific BESS Development Fees or Solar Development Fees paid previously.

 

The timing and other requirements for the payment of Other Development Fees shall be as agreed in writing by the parties to the PMSA via an addendum to the PMSA prior to the parties undertaking such Other Development Projects.

 

Subject to the terms and conditions of the PMSA, in addition to the other requirements therein, payment of the BESS Development Fees, the Solar Development Fees and any Other Development Fees is further contingent upon Cole W. Johnson (a) remaining an employee or consultant to Emergen and/or the head of the BESS and Solar Division of the Company and/or (b) as an interest owner in the Energy Independent Partners during the period of time in which the applicable BESS Development Fees, the Solar Development Fees or Other Development Fees are payable. Subject to the foregoing, the BESS Development Fees, the Solar Development Fees or Other Development Fees are payable within ten (10) days of satisfaction of the conditions to payment as discussed above.

 

Payment for Sale of Development Projects. In the event the Company decides not to proceed with any Development Project(s), the Company may elect to sell such Development Project(s) to one or more third parties. In such event, the Company and Energy Independent Partners agree to a sales price for the applicable Development Project being sold, and provided that the parties to the PMSA agree that any sale agreement for such Development Projects shall provide that the buyer thereof shall remain obligated to pay to Energy Independent Partners the BESS Development Fees and/or the Solar Development Fee(s), as applicable, to the extent not already paid by the Company hereunder, unless otherwise agreed upon by the Company and Energy Independent Partners.

 

Termination. The PMSA may be terminated at any time prior to the expiration of its term: (a) by the mutual written consent of the parties; (b) by the Company if Energy Independent Partners has violated or breached any of the covenants or agreements of Energy Independent Partners set forth therein, or any of the representations or warranties of Energy Independent Partners set forth in the PMSA has become inaccurate or untrue, which violation, breach, inaccuracy or untruth, if reasonable capable of cure, has not been cured by Energy Independent Partners, within 20 business days after receipt by Energy Independent Partners of written notice thereof from the Company; (c) by Energy Independent Partners if the Company or Emergen has violated or breached any of the covenants or agreements of the Company or Emergen set forth in the PMSA, or any of the representations or warranties of the Company or Emergen set forth in the PMSA has become inaccurate or untrue, which violation, breach, inaccuracy or untruth, if reasonable capable of cure, has not been cured by the Company or Emergen, within 20 business days after receipt by the Company of written notice thereof from Energy Independent Partners; or (d) by any party, if a court of competent jurisdiction or other governmental authority shall have issued an order or taken any other action permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Combination or the transactions contemplated by the PMSA and such order or action shall have become final and nonappealable. Any of the Parties has a right to seek specific performance of the other parties’ obligations under the PMSA in lieu of its right to terminate the agreement.

 

Indemnification. Subject to certain limitations provided for in the PMSA, each of the parties to the PMSA mutually agreed to indemnify and hold harmless each other and each of their affiliates and each of their respective members, managers, partners, directors, officers, employees, stockholders, attorneys and agents and permitted assignees to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, against and in respect of any and all losses incurred or sustained by such party as a result of or in connection with (i) any breach, inaccuracy or nonfulfillment or the alleged breach, inaccuracy or nonfulfillment of any of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the other party contained in the PMSA or in any of the additional agreements or any certificate or other writing delivered pursuant hereto; or (ii) any claim for brokerage commissions in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby as a result of the actions or agreements of the other party or any of their representatives.

Comparison of the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

 

We have generated no revenues from our primary business for the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2024, we incurred $2,758,731 of general and administrative expenses compared to $927,726 for the same period in 2023. General and administrative expenses have increased during 2024 compared to 2023 as the Company began operations related to Emergen (acquired April 2024, it’s BESS operation.)

 

During the year ended December 31, 2024, a significant portion of general and administrative expenses was $1,246,182 of stock compensation expenses compared to $378,559 for the same period in 2023. Stock compensation expenses are related to stock awards and stock option valuation over the life of the option.

 

As a result of the foregoing, we had net loss of ($2,757,687) for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to a net loss of ($920,418) for the year ended December 31, 2023.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, we had total current liabilities of $1,756,985 and $35,229, respectively, and current assets of $1,028,877 and $163,417, respectively, to meet our current obligations. As of December 31, 2024, we had working capital of ($728,108), a decrease of working capital of ($856,296) as compared to December 31, 2023, driven primarily by an increase deferred revenues, accounts payable and accrued expenses.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2024, cash used in operations was ($349,833) which primarily included the net loss of ($2,757,687) partially offset by $1,246,182 related to stock compensation expense, the issuance of common stock for services of $79,209 and $943,500 increase in deferred revenue.

 

The Company received and recorded as deferred revenue a $943,500 deposit payment from the Project Sale Agreement with Bridgelink for an estimated 2.425 GW of Emergen’s estimated 3.840 GW of solar energy development projects. The total amount to be received by Emergen for the projects sold to Bridgelink is expected to be $19,400,000 unless certain of the projects are returned without development to the payment milestones. We have paid EIP $250,000 during 2024 related to the $943,500 deposit and owe an additional $339,688 currently recorded in due to related party. EIP will be due 62.5% of the proceeds received related to the Project Sale Agreement. If the remaining $18.5 million is received from the ultimate purchaser via Bridgelink we will owe EIP $11.5 million for their portion per the agreement.

 

27

 

 

We have a history of operating losses. We have not yet achieved profitable operations and expect to incur further losses. We have funded our operations primarily from equity financing. As of December 31, 2024, cash generated from financing activities was not sufficient to fund our growth strategy in the short-term or long-term. The primary need for liquidity is to fund working capital requirements of the business, including operational expenses in connection with our efforts to become a provider of a suite of green energy solutions and to fund the development projects. The primary source of liquidity has primarily been private financing transactions. The ability to fund operations and pursue these opportunities and projects within the green energy industry depends on our ability to raise funds from debt and/or equity financing which is subject to prevailing economic conditions and financial, business and other factors, some of which are beyond our control. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we do not have any off-balance-sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on our results of operations or financial condition, including, and without limitation, such considerations as liquidity and capital resources.

 

Changes in or Adoption of Accounting Practices

 

There were no material changes in or adoption of new accounting practices during the year ended December 31, 2024.

 

Critical Accounting   Estimates

 

Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported expenses incurred during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including, but not limited to, those related to accrued research and development costs and stock-based compensation expense. These estimates and assumptions are monitored and analyzed by us for changes in facts and circumstances, and material changes in these estimates and assumptions could occur in the future. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Changes in estimates are reflected in reported results for the period in which they become known. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

Although our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in Note 2 to our financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we believe that the following accounting estimates are those most critical to the judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements.

 

Stock Options

 

We measure stock-based option awards made to employees and non-employees based on the estimated fair value of the awards as of the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The model requires management to make a number of assumptions including common stock fair value, expected volatility, expected term, risk-free interest rate and expected dividend yield.

 

Fair Value of Common Stock — The fair market value of our common stock is based on its closing price on the OTC Listing as reported on the date of the stock option grant.

 

Expected Volatility — Expected volatility is estimated by studying the volatility of the prices of shares of common stock of comparable public companies for similar terms. We will continue to apply this process until enough historical information regarding the volatility of our stock price becomes available.

 

Expected Term — Expected term represents the period that our stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding and is determined using the simplified method.

 

Risk-Free Interest Rate — The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds issued in effect at the time of grant for periods corresponding with the expected term of the option.

 

Expected Dividend — The Black-Scholes valuation model calls for a single expected dividend yield as an input. To date, we have not declared or paid any dividends and we do not expect to declare or pay any dividends in the future. 

 

Income Tax Expense (Benefit)

 

We have not made a provision for income taxes in 2024 or 2023, which reflects our valuation allowance established against our benefits from net operating loss carryforwards.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders

Bimergen Energy Corporation

 

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Bimergen Energy Corporation (“the Company”) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”).

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years then ended December 31, 2024 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and negative cash flows from operating activities, therefore, the Company has stated that substantial doubt exists about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the entity’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

 

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

 

Accounting for the Acquisition of Emergen and Related Project Management Services Agreement

 

As described in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements, in April 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of Emergen Energy LLC (“Emergen”) pursuant to a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (“MIPA”), and entered into a Project Management Services Agreement (“PMSA”) with Energy Independent Partners LLC (“EIP”), an entity owned by a newly appointed executive of the Company. The acquisition involved the transfer of development-stage renewable energy projects, and the PMSA established a framework for future development fee payments to EIP based on project milestones and third-party financing.

 

The Company determined that the acquisition of Emergen did not constitute a business under ASC 805 and was accounted for as an asset acquisition. The Company further concluded that the development fee payments under the PMSA did not represent contingent consideration, but rather future compensation for services to be rendered, and were therefore excluded from the purchase price allocation.

 

We identified the accounting for the acquisition of Emergen and the PMSA as a critical audit matter due to the complex and judgmental nature of evaluating (i) whether the transaction met the definition of a business under ASC 805, (ii) whether the PMSA represented a separate arrangement for future services or was in-substance deferred purchase price (i.e., contingent consideration), and (iii) the implications of the Second Amendment to the PMSA executed in 2025 but made effective as of 2024. These matters required a high degree of auditor judgment and the involvement of professionals with specialized skills and knowledge in technical accounting.

 

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit

 

Our audit procedures related to the Company’s accounting for the acquisition of Emergen and the PMSA included the following:

 

●We obtained and read the MIPA, the PMSA, and subsequent amendments to assess the nature of the rights transferred and the obligations created.
●We evaluated the Company’s accounting policy for business combinations and asset acquisitions.
●We assessed the Company’s conclusions regarding whether the development fee arrangements met the definition of contingent consideration under ASC 805 or executory service arrangements under other applicable guidance.
●We reviewed the legal opinion obtained by the Company regarding the enforceability and retroactive effect of the PMSA amendment, and confirmed the intent of the parties through direct correspondence with the counterparty to the PMSA.
●We assessed the adequacy of the Company’s related disclosures in the financial statements.

 

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2025.

BIMERGEN ENERGY CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND GOING CONCERN

 

Bimergen Energy Corporation (the “Company”, “we” or “us”) was incorporated under the laws of Delaware on March 4, 1998. In connection with the Company’s planned expansion of its business following the completion of the acquisition of Bitech Mining Corporation, a Wyoming corporation (“BTM”), it filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Certificate of Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on April 29, 2022 to change its corporate name to Bitech Technologies Corporation. On January 28, 2025, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Certificate to Incorporation to: (i) effect a reverse stock split of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) at a ratio of 1 post-split share for every 140 pre-split shares; and (ii) to change the name of the Company to Bimergen Energy Corporation.

 

In April 2024, the Company acquired a portfolio of development-stage Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) and solar energy projects from Emergen Energy LLC (“Emergen”). The acquired portfolio includes 23 utility-scale BESS projects with an estimated cumulative storage capacity of 1.965 gigawatts (GW) and 13 utility-scale solar energy projects with an anticipated cumulative generation capacity of 1.640 GW (collectively, the “Development Projects”), subject to completion of development, construction, and interconnection milestones. The Company became the sole project owner upon acquisition.

 

As of the date of this filing, the Development Projects are in various stages of development and have not yet achieved commercial operation. The Company expects that certain BESS projects may be colocated with solar projects, depending on site configuration and permitting.

 

Reverse Stock Split

 

On February 3, 2025, the Company’s shareholders approved and the Company effected a reverse stock split of the shares of common stock at a ratio of 1-for-140 (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The number of authorized shares and par value per share were not adjusted as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. All references to shares, restricted stock awards, and options to purchase common stock, share data, per share data, and related information contained in the financial statements have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the effect of the Reverse Stock Split for all periods presented.

 

Going Concern

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared using the generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the Company has incurred substantial recurring losses from continuing operations, negative cash flows from operations, and is dependent on additional financing to fund operations. We incurred a net loss of approximately $2.8 million and $0.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $0.2 million and an accumulated deficit of approximately $4.8 million. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence. The Company will need additional funding to sustain operations, satisfy existing and future obligations and liabilities, and otherwise support the Company’s operations and business activities and working capital needs. Management’s plans include attempting to secure additional required funding through equity or debt financings if available, seeking to enter into one or more strategic agreements regarding, or sales of development rights. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining the necessary funding to sustain its operations or meet its business objectives.

 

36

 

 

NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Any references in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bimergen Energy Corporation. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Emergen Energy, LLC. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

Revenue recognition

 

Revenue is recognized pursuant to ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (ASC 606). Accordingly, revenue is recognized at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. This principle is applied using the following 5-step process:

 

1.Identify the contract with the customer.
2.Identify the performance obligations in the contract.
3.Determine the transaction price.
4.Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract.
5.Recognize revenue when (or as) each performance obligation is satisfied.

 

We determined the appropriate method by which we recognize revenue by analyzing the nature of the products or services being provided as well as the terms and conditions of contracts or arrangements entered into with its customers. We account for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct good or service (i.e., performance obligation) identified in the contract and each performance obligation is valued based on its estimated relative standalone selling price.

 

We recognize the majority of its revenue at a point in time when it satisfies a performance obligation and transfers control of the product to the respective customer. The amount of revenue that is recognized is based on the transaction price, which represents the invoiced amount and includes estimates of variable consideration such as allowances for estimated customer discounts or concessions, where applicable. The amount of variable consideration included in the transaction price may be constrained and is included only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of the cumulative revenue recognized under the contract will not occur in a future period.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions, including those related to variable consideration, stock-based compensation, valuation of deferred tax assets and uncertain income tax positions. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the amount reported as revenue and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially from those estimates.

 

Development Project Sale Revenue Recognition

 

The Company has entered into agreements with third parties for the sale of solar development projects. These agreements may include an upfront, nonrefundable deposit and have milestone-based consideration related to the development of the project by the purchaser.

 

Nonrefundable Upfront Deposits

 

Upfront deposits are non-contingent and nonrefundable. These amounts are included in the transaction price and recognized as revenue at the point in time when milestones have been reported by the purchaser covering the deposit amount received. Control of the related project rights is transferred to the customer upon completion and payment of the milestones for each project. Transfer of control is determined based on the satisfaction of specified contractual milestones (e.g., execution of site control, delivery of interconnection position, and funding confirmation). The Company does not assess whether the contract contains a significant financing component for upfront deposits when the period between the customer’s payment and the transfer of control is expected to be one year or less.

 

The Company has determined to recognize revenue upon the determination that the appropriate milestones have been met per the project sale contract and as non-refundable. The Company will relieve and charge to cost of sales the proportionate allocation of the intangible asset and the accrual of liabilities to EIP will follow the matching principle of expenses recorded related to the timing of the revenues being recorded.

 

Milestone Payments

 

Milestone Based Consideration

 

Milestone payments represent variable consideration and are included in the transaction price when it becomes probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur. The Company evaluates each milestone against the probability and measurability criteria under ASC 606 and includes such amounts in revenue only when achievement of the milestone is deemed probable and the related deliverables have been substantially satisfied.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Cash, accounts payable, and accounts payable – related parties as reflected in the consolidated financial statements, approximates fair value. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

 

37

 

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents consist of liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates fair value. We maintain cash and cash equivalents in banks which at times may exceed federally insured limits. We have not experienced any losses on these deposits.

 

Deferred Offering Costs

 

Deferred offering costs consist of legal, accounting, and underwriter costs incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly related to the offering and that will be charged to shareholders’ equity upon the completion of the offering. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had deferred offering costs of $222,497 and $0, respectively.

 

Intangible Assets

 

To the extent that an intangible asset is successfully developed into a revenue-generating asset, it will become a component of property, plant and equipment. To the extent that an intangible asset is not successfully developed into a revenue-generating assets, it will be considered impaired and charged to operations at that time. The estimation of the fair value of the projects requires significant management judgment with respect to revenue and expense growth rates, changes in working capital and the selection and use of an appropriate discount rate. The estimates of the fair value of the projects are based on the best information available as of the date of the assessment. The use of different assumptions would increase or decrease estimated discounted future operating cash flows and could increase or decrease an impairment charge. Company management uses its judgment in assessing whether assets may have become impaired between annual impairment tests. Indicators such as adverse business conditions, economic factors and technological change or competitive activities may signal that an asset has become impaired.

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

Cash and cash equivalents are financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk. As of December 31, 2024, the Company also had investments in money market funds, corporate debt obligations and U.S. Treasury bills, which can be subject to certain credit risks. The Company mitigates the risks by investing in high-grade instruments, limiting its exposure to any one issuer and monitoring the ongoing creditworthiness of the financial institutions and issuers. The Company has not experienced any material losses on its financial instruments and has full access to and control over all of its cash and cash equivalents.

 

38

 

 

Stock Based Compensation

 

We account for the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors, including employee stock options, based on estimated fair values. Under authoritative guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), companies are required to estimate the fair value or calculated value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of awards that are ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in our consolidated statements of operations. We use the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model to determine the fair-value of stock-based awards and the market trading price for any restricted stock awards on the day of grant. We recognized $1,144,182 and $348,559 stock compensation related to stock options for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. We recognized $102,000 and $30,000 stock compensation related to restricted stock awards for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method; under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax reporting basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon future earnings, the timing and amount of which are uncertain.

 

In evaluating the ability to recover its deferred income tax assets, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including its operating results, ongoing tax planning and forecasts of future taxable income on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis. In the event the Company determines that it would be able to realize its deferred income tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, it would make an adjustment to the valuation allowance that would reduce the provision for income taxes. Conversely, if all or part of the net deferred tax assets are determined not to be realizable in the future, an adjustment to the valuation allowance would be charged to the provision of income taxes in the period when such determination is made.

 

Tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions are recognized when it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained during an audit. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are measured at the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement with the taxing authority. Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are included within the provision for income tax.

 

Legal Costs and Contingencies

 

In the normal course of business, we incur costs to hire and retain external legal counsel to advise us on regulatory, litigation and other matters. We expense these costs as the related services are received.

 

The Company recognizes a loss contingency when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. If the estimated loss is subject to potential recovery from a third party, we assess the recoverability separately and recognize the amount of recovery only when realization is probable. Loss contingencies that are reasonably possible, but not probable, are disclosed when material.

Net Loss per Share

 

Basic and diluted net loss per common share is presented in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share,” for all periods presented. During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, common stock equivalents from outstanding stock options and warrants have been excluded from the calculation of the diluted loss per share in the consolidated statements of operations, because all such securities were anti-dilutive. The net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods. The Company had 219,643 and 123,215 options that were potentially outstanding dilutive securities during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This ASU requires public entities, on an annual basis, to provide disclosure of specific categories in the rate reconciliation, as well as disclosure of income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in this ASU should be applied prospectively; however, retrospective application is also permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact from the adoption of this standard on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The amendments in ASU 2024-03 require a public business entity to disclose specific information about certain costs and expenses in the notes to its financial statements for interim and annual reporting periods. The objective of the disclosure requirements is to provide disaggregated information about a public business entity’s expenses to help investors (a) better understand the entity’s performance, (b) better assess the entity’s prospects for future cash flows, and (c) compare an entity’s performance over time and with that of other entities. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its financial statements.

NOTE 4. STOCK OPTIONS

 

As of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were 966,072 and 300,000 options outstanding, respectively. The Company does not have an adopted option plan and can issue stock options up to the amount of authorized shares that are not issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2024.

 

We have granted non-qualified stock options to employees and contractors. All non-qualified options are generally issued with an exercise price no less than the fair value of the common stock on the date of the grant as determined by our Board of Directors. Options typically may be exercised up to ten years following the date of the grant, with vesting schedules determined by us upon grant. Vesting schedules vary by grant, with some fully vesting immediately upon grant to others that ratably vest over a period of time up to five years. Standard vested options may be exercised up to three months following date of termination of the relationship unless alternate terms are specified at grant. The fair values of options are determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Forfeitures are accounted for as they occur. The estimated fair value of options is recognized as expense on the straight-line basis over the options’ vesting periods. At December 31, 2024, we had approximately $4.6 million unrecognized stock-based compensation related to stock options expected to be recognized over the next 2.2 years on a weighted average.

 

Stock option transactions during the year ended December 31, 2024 were as follows:

 

   As of
December 31, 2024		 
   Shares   Weighted-
Average
Exercise
Price		 
         
Outstanding at Beginning of Year   300,000   $4.32

Options Exercisable at Year-End   219,643    4.90

The Black-Scholes option pricing model, used to estimate fair value of the option awards, requires the use of the following assumptions:

 

● Fair value of common stock. The fair value of the common stock is the Company’s closing price per share on the OTC listing at the grant date.

 

● Expected Term. The expected term of options granted represents the period of time that the options are expected to be outstanding. Due to the lack of historical exercise history, the expected term of the Company’s stock options has been determined by calculating the midpoint of the contractual term of the options and the weighted-average vesting period.

 

● Expected Volatility. The expected stock price volatility assumption was determined by examining the historical volatilities for industry peers, as the Company did not have any trading history for the common stock. The Company will continue to analyze the historical stock price volatility and expected term assumption as more historical data for the common stock becomes available.

 

● Risk-Free Interest Rate. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on the U.S. Treasury instrument whose term was consistent with the expected term of the Company’s stock options.

 

● Dividends. The Company has not paid any cash dividends on common stock since inception and does not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future. Consequently, an expected dividend yield of zero was used.

 

The fair value of options granted was estimated using the Black-Scholes valuation model using the following assumptions for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively:

 SCHEDULE OF FAIR VALUE OF VALUATION ASSUMPTIONS

   Year ended December 31,  
   2024   2023   
Expected volatility   99%   101%
Expected dividend yield   —%   —%
Expected term (in years)   5.8-6.1    2.9 - 7.5 
Risk-free interest rate   3.4% - 4.6%    4.0% - 4.7%

 

The fair value of options granted was estimated using the Black-Scholes valuation model using the following assumptions for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively:

Aggregate intrinsic value represents the difference between the fair value of the underlying common stock and the exercise price. The intrinsic value of options outstanding at December 31, 2023 was $1.0 million. The intrinsic value of options outstanding and vested or expected to vest and exercisable at December 31, 2024 was $0 million and $1.0 million, respectively. The weighted-average grant date fair value of options granted for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, was $6.88 and $2.18, respectively. No options were exercised during the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

 

During preparation of the 2024 financial statements, management discovered two immaterial errors in the 2023 results: (i) stock-based compensation had been understated by $108,725, and (ii) $89,234 of costs originally shown as “common stock issued for services” should have been included in stock-based compensation. The corrections were recorded through a revision rather than a re-issuance of prior statements because the combined effect was not material to any period. After the adjustments, stock-based compensation for 2023 totals $378,559 (previously $269,834), total operating expenses are $927,726 (previously $819,001), and net loss is $920,418 instead of $811,693. Accumulated deficit at 31 December 2023 increases to $2,017,012 (from $1,908,287), and basic and diluted loss per share for 2023 changes from $0.18 to $0.20. The revisions have no impact on net cash used in operating activities; the change simply reclassifies amounts within the operating section of the statement of cash flows. All share and per-share figures give effect to the 1-for-140 reverse stock split completed on 3 February 2025.

 

NOTE 5. RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS

 

Restricted Stock Award transactions during the years ended December 31, 2024 were as follows:

 

   December 31, 2024 
   Shares   Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value 
         
Unvested at Beginning of Period   57,027   $39.20

Forfeited or Cancelled RSAs   (10,715)   8.40 
Unvested at End of Period   69,883   $34.05 

 

At December 31, 2024, we had approximately $2.4 million unrecognized stock-based compensation related to restricted stock awards. The weighted average non-performance based will be recognized over the next 0.6 years.

 

NOTE 6. ACQUISITION OF EMERGEN ENERGY LLC

 

On April 24, 2024 (the “Closing”), Bimergen Energy Corp. (the “Company”) acquired 100 % of the membership interests of Emergen Energy LLC (“Emergen”) pursuant to a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement dated April 14, 2024 (as amended on April 24, 2024, the “MIPA”). At Closing the Company issued 1,587,300 unregistered shares of common stock to C & C Johnson Holdings LLC (an entity controlled by Cole Johnson) with a fair value of $22.2 million (based on the $14.00 closing price on April 24, 2024). Emergen became a wholly-owned subsidiary; Mr. Johnson simultaneously became President of the Company’s BESS and Solar divisions and a director of the Company.

  

Emergen, formed immediately prior to the transaction, held only early-stage renewable-energy development rights and no liabilities or operating activities. Accordingly, management concluded the transaction is an asset acquisition rather than a business combination

 

At acquisition Emergen’s assets consisted of 1.965GW and 3.840GW of BESS and Solar Projects, respectively. Because the projects lacked substantive process or outputs, the Company recorded the entire $22.2 million purchase price as indefinite-lived intangible assets (“Development Projects”) and allocated the $22.2 million purchase price to the BESS and Solar portfolios based on relative fair values determined from project-level discounted-cash-flow models corroborated by observable market pricing for comparable development assets. The Company allocated $20.0 million and 2.2 million to BESS and Solar Projects respectively as of the acquisition date.

  

42

 

  

The following agreements were entered into on the date of Closing as provided for in the MIPA:

 

On April 24, 2024 the Company and Emergen entered into a PMSA with Energy Independent Partners LLC (“EIP”), an entity controlled by Cole Johnson, under which EIP provides development, permitting, and financing-support services for each project.

 

On April 24, 2025 the parties executed Amendment No. 2 to the PMSA, stated to be effective June 28, 2024 and governed by Delaware law. Amendment 2 superseded Amendment 1 and eliminated the former Initial-Fee and RTB-Fee construct, replacing it with a single “Development-Fee” model that is payable only when a project secures third-party, project-specific financing. The principal commercial terms now in effect are:

 

●BESS projects. For each battery-storage project, the Company will owe EIP a development fee of $0.035 per watt once that specific project secures third-party debt and/or equity financing sufficient to fund the fee. Based on the current BESS portfolio capacity (approximately 1.965 GW), the aggregate exposure, if every project achieves financing, would be about $69 million.
●Solar projects. For each solar-power project, the same rate—$0.035 per watt—applies, again only after project-specific financing is in place. Given the remaining solar capacity in the Emergen portfolio (roughly 1.640 GW), the maximum potential fees total approximately $57 million.
●Other renewable projects. For any future development projects that are neither BESS nor solar, the fee is the greater of (i) 50 percent of gross margin or (ii) $0.02 per watt, payable once the project reaches ready-to-build (RTB) status. Because the Company has no such projects in its pipeline today, no aggregate cap is presently estimable.

 

Based on portfolio capacities; actual fees depend on future financings and may not be incurred.

 

●Sale-of-Project Clause – If a project is sold, EIP is entitled to the greater of unpaid Development Fees or 62.5 % of net sale proceeds.
●Acceleration Clause – 62.5 % of unpaid fees accelerate within 90 days of (i) a change in control of the Company or (ii) removal of Mr. Johnson from his role.
●Termination & Indemnification – The PMSA may be terminated by mutual consent or for cause; customary indemnities apply.

 

Because payment is contingent on future project-financing milestones, no PMSA liabilities have been recognized as of December 31, 2024.

  

NOTE 7. SOLAR PROJECTS SALE

 

On May 30, 2024 Emergen Energy LLC (“Emergen”) entered into a Project Sale Agreement (“PSA”) with Bridgelink Development, LLC (“Bridgelink”) covering 2.425 GW of green-field solar projects (the “Greenfield Projects”). Bridgelink simultaneously resold the projects to an unrelated third-party purchaser (“Purchaser”).

 

Total consideration payable to Emergen is $19.4 million, comprising:

 

●a non-refundable deposit of $0.9 million received in June 2024; and
●$18.5 million in milestone payments—$5,000 per MW upon securing necessary land rights and $3,000 per MW upon the project reaching ready-to-build (“RTB”) status. There is no specified timetable for milestone achievement.


The deposit is recorded as contract liability (deferred revenue). Revenue (and related cost) will be recognized at a point in time when the relevant milestones are achieved by the purchaser, which management expects within twelve months of year-end. No milestone revenue was recognized in 2024 because the required conditions were not met.

 

Under the Project Management Services Agreement (“PMSA”), Emergen remits 62.5 % of amounts received to Energy Independent Partners LLC (“EIP”), an entity controlled by Cole Johnson, and retains 37.5 %. Accordingly, $0.6 million of the June 2024 deposit was paid to EIP and capitalized to project-related intangible assets; the remaining $0.4 million remains deferred. Additional EIP payments will be recorded only when Bridgelink remits milestone proceeds. Bridgelink may return a project, without refund, only if no milestone payment has yet been made and the return occurs within seven years of the PSA’s effective date. A December 31 2024 amendment clarified that all funds paid to Emergen are non-refundable and limited the return option as noted above; all other material terms remain unchanged.

 

43

 

 

NOTE 8. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

All transactions described in Notes to the Financial Statements 6 and 7 were transacted with a now related party, Cole Johnson, President and Director, as of the April 24, 2024 acquisition of Emergen Energy, LLC. All negotiations related to these transactions were prior to Cole Johnson being a related party to Bimergen.

 

NOTE 9 INCOME TAX

 

U.S. Federal Corporate Income Tax

 

The Company’s effective income tax rate differs from the amount computed by applying the federal statutory income tax rate to loss before income taxes as follows:

 

   December 31, 2024   December 31, 2023 
Income tax benefit at federal statutory rate   (21.0)%   (21.0)%
State income tax benefit, net of federal benefit   (8.8)%   (8.8)%
Change in valuation allowance   29.8%   29.8%
Income taxes at effective rate   -%   -%

 

44

 

 

Temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities and tax credit and operating loss carryforward that create deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:

 

   2024   2023 
Tax Operating Loss Carryforward - USA  $2,800,000   $1,569,000 
Other   -    - 
Valuation Allowance - USA   (2,800,000)   (1,569,000)
Deferred Tax Assets, Net  $-   $- 

 

A valuation allowance is required to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon future earnings, the timing and amount of which are uncertain. The Company has reviewed its positive and negative evidence and has concluded that it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will not be realized due to the cumulative losses incurred since inception; therefore, the Company continues to maintain a valuation allowance. The valuation allowance increased by $1.2 million and $0.5 million during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“IRC”), specifically Sections 382 and 383, the Company’s ability to use tax attribute carryforwards to offset future taxable income is limited if the Company experiences a cumulative change in ownership of more than 50% within a three-year testing period. The Company has not completed an ownership change analysis pursuant to IRC Section 382 therefore the ability to offset taxable income in the future may be impacted by ownership changes occurring prior to December 31, 2024. If ownership changes within the meaning of IRC Section 382 occur in the future, the amount of remaining tax attribute carryforwards available to offset future taxable income and income tax expense in future years may be significantly restricted or eliminated. Further, the Company’s deferred tax assets associated with such tax attributes could be significantly reduced or eliminated upon realization of an ownership change within the meaning of IRC Section 382. If eliminated, the related asset would be removed from the deferred tax asset schedule, with a corresponding reduction in the valuation allowance. Additionally, limitations on the utilization of the Company’s tax attribute carryforwards can increase the amount of taxable income and current income tax expense recognized. Due to the existence of the valuation allowance, ownership change limitations that are not significant may not impact the Company’s effective tax rate.

 

As of December 31, 2024, we had federal net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes of approximately $2.8 million which expire after twenty years from when it occurred beginning in 2021. We also have California net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes of approximately $2.8 million which expire after twenty years from when it occurred beginning in 2021.

 

NOTE 11 SEGMENT INFORMATION

 

The Company operates and manages its business as one reportable operating segment. The Company’s CODM, the Chief Executive Officer, reviews internal financial information presented and decides how to allocate resources based on net income (loss). Net income (loss) is used for evaluating financial performance.

 

Significant segment expenses include salaries and payroll, legal fees, stock based compensation, audit costs, contract services, rent, and other administrative expenses. The measurement of segment assets is reported on the consolidated balance sheets as total assets. The following table presents the significant segment expenses and other segment items regularly reviewed by our CODM.

NOTE 12 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

The Company is subject to various claims, legal actions, and regulatory proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, the ultimate resolution of these matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

 

NOTE 13. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

On January 28, 2025, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Certificate to Incorporation to: (i) effect a reverse stock split of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) at a ratio of 1 post-split share for every 140 pre-split shares; and (ii) to change the name of the Company to Bimergen Energy Corporation. The reverse stock split was effected on February 3, 2025.

 

On April 20, 2025 the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Emergen Energy, LLC, executed a definitive agreement with RelyEZ Energy Group to form a joint venture to develop, construct, and operate up to 2 GW of utility-scale battery-energy-storage projects (2- to 4-hour BESS) in the United States through 2027.

 

Capital commitments. RelyEZ has committed up to $50 million, including an initial $10 million funding within 10 days of closing. The Company will contribute up to $12.5 million on a pro-rata basis after the first $10 million from RelyEZ.

 

Ownership and economics. Until project refinancing, each project SPV will be owned 80 % by RelyEZ and 20 % by Emergen. After refinancing, the Company may repurchase RelyEZ’s interest at cost plus a 12 % annual return.

 

Initial projects. Four Texas projects totaling approximately 274 MW / 773 MWh (Redbird, Dos Rios, White Rock, and Oak Hill) are expected to reach notice-to-proceed (NTP) within six months of closing.

 

Status of accounting evaluation. This agreement was executed after December 31, 2024; therefore, no amounts related to the joint venture are reflected in the accompanying 2024 financial statements.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

 

Not applicable.

 

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Benjamin B. Tran, our President and Chief Executive Officer, is our principal executive officer and Robert J. Brilon, our Chief Financial Officer, is our principal financial officer.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) (our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) as of December 31, 2024 (the “Evaluation Date”). Disclosure controls and procedures are 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 SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Management recognizes that any system of controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving its objectives, and necessarily applies judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

 

Based on their evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that, as of December 31, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us 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 management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. These conclusions were due to the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described below.

 

Notwithstanding the identified material weaknesses, management concluded that our financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are fairly stated, in all material respects, in accordance with U.S. GAAP for each of the periods presented.

 

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

 

Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria set forth in the 2013 Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO Framework”). Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2024, due to the following material weaknesses:

 

  ● Inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives;

Attestation of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC that permit certain companies, including newly public companies, to provide only management’s report.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the year ended December 31, 2024, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

 

Internal control over financial reporting has inherent limitations. It may not prevent or detect all misstatements, and projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate due to changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with policies and procedures may deteriorate. Internal control systems are also subject to human error or intentional circumvention. Therefore, even effective internal controls can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

 

Changes in Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

None.

Compensation Policies and Practices as they Relate to Risk Management

 

We attempt to make our compensation programs discretionary, balanced and focused on the long term. We believe goals and objectives of our compensation programs reflect a balanced mix of quantitative and qualitative performance measures to avoid excessive weight on a single performance measure. Our approach to compensation practices and policies applicable to employees and consultants is consistent with that followed for its executives. Based on these factors, we believe that our compensation policies and practices do not create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us.

 

ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

 

The following table sets forth information, as of December 31, 2024, concerning, except as indicated by the footnotes below, (i) each person whom we know beneficially owns more than 5% of our common stock, (ii) each of our directors, (iii) each of our named executive officers and (iv) all of our directors and executive officers as a group. We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules of the SEC. Except as indicated by the footnotes below, we believe, based on the information furnished to us, that the persons and entities named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock that they beneficially own, subject to applicable community property laws. Applicable percentage ownership is based on 5,121,384 shares of common stock outstanding at December 31, 2024. In computing the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, we deemed outstanding shares of common stock subject to stock options or warrants held by that person that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of December 31, 2024. We did not deem these shares outstanding, however, for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Unless otherwise noted, stock options and warrants referenced in the footnotes below are currently fully vested and exercisable.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS; AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

 

Related Party Transactions

 

The following is a description of transactions since January 1, 2022 to which we were a party in which (i) the amount involved exceeded or will exceed the lesser of $120,000 of one percent (1%) of our average total assets at year-end for the last two completed fiscal years and (ii) any of our directors, executive officers or holders of more than 5% of our capital stock, or any member of the immediate family of, or person sharing the household with, any of the foregoing persons, who had or will have a direct or indirect material interest, other than equity and other compensation, termination, change in control and other similar arrangements, which are described under “Executive and Director Compensation.”

 

Cole Johnson

 

Cole Johnson, our President and Member of the Board of Directors, is the principal and sole member of C & C Johnson Holdings, LLC (“C&C”), the holder of approximately 31% of the Company’s outstanding capital stock. Mr Cole is also the principal and sole owner of Energy Independent Partners LLC (“EIP”) and Bridgelink Development LLC (“Bridgelink”).

 

On April 14, 2024, the Company, Emergen Energy LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Emergen”), Bridgelink, C&C and Cole Johnson entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “MIPA”) whereby the Company agreed to issue to Bridgelink, at closing, 1,587,300 shares of the Company’s unregistered common stock in exchange for a 100% ownership interest in Emergen. Following the closing of the MIPA, Mr. Johnson became the President of the Company’s BESS and Solar Divisions and a member of the Board. In addition, Emergen became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company with C&C’s ownership interest in the Company being approximately 31.3% based on 5,079,220 shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding after giving effect to the issuance of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to the MIPA.

 

At the closing of the MIPA, the Company and Emergen also entered into a Project Management Services Agreement (the “PMSA”) and subsequent amendments with Energy Independent Partners LLC. Pursuant to the terms of the PMSA, EIP will provide the following project management services in connection with the development and operation of each of the Development Projects (collectively, the “Services”): (i) assist as needed with qualifying the Development Projects for financing; (ii) assist as needed with obtaining all permits required for development of the Development Projects which have sufficient rights to use all necessary real property, and for which the applicable draft interconnection agreement has been received for the Development Projects (“RTB Status”); and (iii) if Emergen foregoes the development of a Development Project, EIP will assist the Company as needed with marketing the Development Project to a third party or develop and retain the Development Project outside of Emergen.

Emergen held certain contractual and other rights to develop a portfolio of battery energy storage system (“BESS”) projects identified in the MIPA with a cumulative storage capacity estimated at 1.965 gigawatts (GW) upon completion of the construction of such project (the “BESS Development Projects”) and rights to develop a portfolio of solar energy development projects with a cumulative capacity estimated at 3.840 GW upon completion of construction of such project (the “Solar Development Projects,” together with the BESS Development Projects, collectively, the “Development Projects”). The Development Projects included no tangible assets, no binding contracts that would create a liability and no binding contracts for revenue generation. The Development Projects were deemed intangible assets and we have recorded the entire value of the 1,587,300 unregistered shares valued at the closing price on April 24, 2024 of $14.00 ($22,222,200).

 

On May 30, 2024, Emergen entered into a Project Sale Agreement (“Project Sale Agreement”) with Bridgelink for an estimated 2.425 GW of Emergen’s estimated 3.840 GW of solar energy development projects. Bridgelink has sold these greenfield projects, along with projects in its own portfolio, to an unrelated third party (“Purchaser”) which also executed that agreement on May 30, 2024. The total amount to be received by Emergen for the projects sold to Bridgelink is $19,400,000, provided the projects achieve a Point of Interconnection and subsequently obtain all Necessary Land Rights. Bridgelink retains the option to transfer or return certain or all projects within ten (10) days written notice to Emergen if the Purchaser decides, at any time, not to go forward with development of certain or all of the projects. A deposit from Bridgelink will be received within five business days of the execution of the agreement for $943,500 and Emergen will pay 62.5% ($589,687.50) to Energy Independent Partners LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, (“EIP”) in accordance with the Project Management Services Agreement by and between (i) Bimergen Energy; (ii) Emergen; and (iii) EIP and the remaining 37.5% (353,812.50) of the proceeds shall remain with Emergen. The remaining proceeds of $18,456,500 shall be received within five business days when Bridgelink receives milestone payments from the Purchaser for these projects. Effective December 31, 2024, Emergen and Bridgelink amended the Agreement to provide that Bridgelink could only return a Project if it has not yet made a milestone payment to Emergen on prior to the seventh (7th) anniversary of the Effective Date of the Agreement

 

During 2024, the Company paid EIP $250,000 for its portion of the deposit under the Project Sales Agreement and has $339,687.50 in accounts payable to EIP at December 31, 2024.

 

Director Independence

 

We currently have three independent directors on our board; Van H. Potter, James L. Stock, and Montgomery Bannerman. The definition of “independent” used herein is arbitrarily based on the independence standards of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC. The board performed a review to determine the independence of Van H. Potter, James L. Stock, and Montgomery Bannerman and made a subjective determination as to each of these directors that no transactions, relationships or arrangements exist that, in the opinion of the board, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director of the Company. In making these determinations, the board reviewed information provided by these directors with regard to each individual’s business and personal activities as they may relate to us and our management.

Pre-Approval of Audit and Non-Audit Services
