Overview
Renewal Fuels, Inc. (the "Company," "we," "us," or "our") is an advanced energy company focused on developing and commercializing compact, aneutronic fusion power systems to provide clean, sustainable, and scalable baseload electricity. Our core technology platform, the Texatron™, is a patent pending pulsed toroidal fusion reactor designed to enable distributed power generation for industrial, data center, defense, and grid-constrained applications. We are pursuing a Power-as-a-Service business model, where we intend to own and operate Texatron™ units and sell electricity on a per-kilowatt-hour basis, rather than selling the reactors themselves.
Originally incorporated in New Jersey in 1947 as Tech Laboratories, Inc., the Company has undergone several transformations, including a name change to Renewal Fuels, Inc. in 2007 and a shift toward renewable energy initiatives. On December 16, 2025, the Company entered into a Master Sales Agreement and Share Exchange Agreement in connection with a business combination with Kepler Fusion Technologies Inc. (“Kepler Fusion”). Although the transaction did not close as of December 31, 2025 because required closing mechanics had not yet been satisfied, the transaction subsequently closed on February 27, 2026, at which time Kepler Fusion became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
In connection with this strategic transition, the Company has changed its legal name at the state level to American Fusion, Inc. and has redomesticated from Delaware to Texas. On February 27, 2026, the Special 2020 Series A Preferred Share of the Company, which carries super-voting rights sufficient to control stockholder matters, was transferred to Earth Sciences Fund I LLC and Brent Nelson. As a result of this transfer, Earth Sciences Fund I LLC became the holder of the Special 2020 Series A Preferred Share and holds the voting power associated with that class of stock. The Company’s common stock continues to trade on the OTC Markets under the symbol “RNWF.” A voluntary corporate name and symbol change with FINRA has been submitted but has not yet become effective as of the date of this registration statement.
As of the date of this registration statement, we are a development-stage company with no revenue from operations. Our activities are primarily focused on research and development ("R&D"), prototype testing, intellectual property ("IP") expansion, and preparation for commercial deployment. We are pre-commercial and have not yet achieved net-positive energy fusion or generated power for sale. Our success depends on overcoming significant technological, regulatory, and financial challenges inherent in the fusion energy sector. We refer you to Item 1A. Risk Factors for a discussion of these and other risks.
Our Technology Platform
Our proprietary Texatron™ fusion energy platform is based on a pulsed magneto-inertial fusion architecture that combines toroidal plasma confinement with helical magnetic field topologies for enhanced stability. Unlike traditional fusion approaches that rely on large, steady-state reactors (e.g., tokamaks or stellarators), the Texatron™ operates in a cyclic manner, with each pulse consisting of plasma formation, rapid compression and heating, temporary confinement during which fusion reactions may occur, and controlled dissipation before resetting for the next cycle.
Key technical features include:
| • | Toroidal Geometry and Magnetic Confinement: Plasma is formed and confined within a closed toroidal chamber, where twisted magnetic field lines promote magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) stability. This design draws on established plasma physics principles, such as those related to Grad-Shafranov equilibria, while reducing system complexity and electromagnetic stress compared to conventional systems. |
| • | Pulsed Operation: Plasma heating is achieved through fast-rising pulses via resistive heating and converging shock waves, enabling fusion-relevant temperatures and densities transiently. This approach minimizes material exposure to extreme conditions and supports modular scaling. |
| • | Aneutronic Fusion Fuel Cycles: The Texatron™ is optimized for deuterium-helium-3 (D-He³) reactions, which release energy primarily as energetic charged particles rather than neutrons. This enables potential direct electrical energy conversion by exerting pressure on the magnetic field, eliminating the need for steam turbines or thermal cycles. Benefits include reduced neutron flux and material damage, minimal induced radioactivity and long-lived waste, and compatibility with high-efficiency power generation. Our technology is protected by a substantial and growing IP portfolio, including several pending patent applications covering reactor architecture, plasma confinement, energy conversion, controls, manufacturing methods, and deployment systems. We have filed 20 patents to date and plan to file at least 240 additional patent applications by the end of 2026, in addition to maintaining trade secrets for critical know-how. |
The Texatron™ platform is being developed as a family of modular systems with planned configurations ranging from approximately 1 megawatt (MW) to 500 MW, allowing deployment across diverse applications. Proof-of-principle experiments, including Version 9 prototype testing in Midland, Texas, have demonstrated stable toroidal plasma formation at sub-fusion temperatures, validating key confinement concepts. We anticipate demonstrating a 100 MW Texatron™ system before the end of 2026, subject to successful R&D and financing.
Our technology is protected by a substantial IP portfolio, including several pending patent applications covering reactor architecture, plasma confinement, energy conversion, controls, manufacturing methods, and deployment systems. In addition to several pending patent applications, we protect critical know-how through trade secret programs and confidentiality agreements. We plan to file at least 250 additional patent applications by the end of 2026, in addition to maintaining trade secrets for critical know-how.
Market Opportunity and Commercial Strategy
The global demand for clean, reliable baseload power is accelerating, driven by the energy transition, AI data center growth, industrial electrification, and geopolitical energy security needs. Fusion energy represents a transformative solution, offering unlimited fuel supply, zero carbon emissions, and high energy density. According to industry estimates, the fusion market could exceed $1 trillion by 2040, with applications in grid power, remote operations, and high-demand sectors.
| 1 |
Unlike centralized utility-scale fusion programs with decade-long timelines, we are targeting distributed deployment models. Our Power-as-a-Service approach involves owning and operating Texatron™ units at customer sites, selling electricity under long-term contracts. Initial target markets include:
| • | AI and Hyperscale Data Centers: Providing 24/7 `baseload power to address surging energy demands (e.g., projected 160% growth in U.S. data center electricity use by 2030). |
| • | Industrial and Advanced Manufacturing: Supporting emission-free operations for sectors like steel, chemicals, and mining. |
| • | Defense and Critical Infrastructure: Delivering secure, resilient power for military bases and remote facilities. |
| • | Commercial and Residential Providers: Integrating with grids in energy-constrained regions. |
Indicative pricing targets are competitive with existing baseload generation (e.g., $0.05–$0.10 per kWh), while offering advantages in siting flexibility, minimal environmental footprint, and rapid deployment. We intend to deploy thousands of units globally over time, creating a fleet-based energy infrastructure platform. Our commercialization strategy emphasizes modular deployment, ownership and operation of fusion assets, and long-term infrastructure-style revenue models. We intend to pursue partnerships and LOIs for pilot deployments, such as with data center providers or defense installations.
Competition
The fusion energy sector is highly competitive and includes both public and private entities pursuing various approaches, such as magnetic confinement (e.g., tokamaks by ITER or Commonwealth Fusion Systems), inertial confinement (e.g., laser-based by National Ignition Facility and Pacific Fusion), and alternative concepts (e.g., field-reversed configuration by TAE Technologies). Recent high-profile transactions, such as the merger between TMTG and TAE Technologies in December 2025, have increased sector visibility and investment. We differentiate through our pulsed, aneutronic design, modular scalability, and focus on near-term commercial viability. We also face indirect competition from other renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind, and advanced fission technologies.
Suppliers and Customers
We rely on third-party suppliers for components such as magnets, vacuum systems, and diagnostic equipment. Key suppliers are selected based on quality, cost, and alignment with our IP protections. As a development-stage company, we have no material customer contracts yet, but we are in discussions with potential partners in data centers and industry for pilot deployments. We depend on a limited number of suppliers for specialized components and may face supply chain risks, including shortages of rare materials like helium-3.
Intellectual Property
Our IP strategy is central to our competitive advantage. We hold several pending patents applications on the Texatron™ architecture and related innovations, with hundreds of additional patent filings planned. We also protect trade secrets through confidentiality agreements and internal controls.
Government Regulation
Fusion development is subject to regulations from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), including export controls on sensitive technologies under the Atomic Energy Act and Energy Reorganization Act. We intend to comply with all applicable laws, including environmental impact assessments and IAEA standards for international expansion. Our operations may also be affected by federal incentives, such as those under the Inflation Reduction Act, and changes in energy policy.
Employees
As of March 12, 2026, our core team totals 16 full-time employees and consultants, and the Company intends to hire 20 engineers with specific expertise for our new facility in North Fort Worth, Texas, primarily in R&D, engineering, and management. Our team includes experts in plasma physics, materials science, and energy systems. We have no collective bargaining agreements.
Properties
Our principal executive offices are located at 8 The Green, Suite #12401, Dover, DE 19901. We are currently searching for a new leased facility in North Fort Worth, Texas, near the Alliance Airport, for R&D, testing, and manufacturing for prototype and commercial reactor development. This type of property is adequate for our current needs.
Legal Proceedings
The Company is currently pursuing legal proceedings in the Superior Court of the State of Washington, King County, relating to the cancellation of shares issued in connection with transactions that were not consummated as intended. These proceedings seek judicial authorization to cancel improperly issued shares and correct the Company’s shareholder ledger. Additional information regarding this matter is described under Item 3, Legal Proceedings.
Corporate History
Renewal Fuels, Inc. (the “Company”) was originally incorporated in New Jersey in 1947 as Tech Laboratories, Inc. The Company became a public reporting issuer through a registration statement on Form SB-2 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in 1999 and was publicly traded on the OTC market.
In 2007, the Company redomiciled to Delaware and changed its name to Renewal Fuels, Inc. pursuant to a Certificate of Merger and Certificate of Ownership filed on July 9, 2007. During this period, the Company disclosed changes in management and business direction through SEC filings.
The Company filed a Form 15-12G on March 31, 2009, to terminate its registration under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and suspend its duty to file periodic reports, having been current in its filings through the quarter ended September 30, 2008.

From 2009 through 2019, the Company maintained limited public disclosure. In 2020, the Company underwent a change in control through a series of private transactions involving the transfer of its Special 2020 Series A Preferred Share, which carried majority voting control:
| • | On March 16, 2020, Synergy Management Group LLC transferred the Special 2020 Series A Preferred Share to Krisa Management, LLC, resulting in Krisa Management and Carey Cooley acquiring majority voting control. |
| • | On July 29, 2020, Krisa Management, LLC transferred the Special 2020 Series A Preferred Share to Manufacturing 360, LLC, resulting in Manufacturing 360, LLC and Richard Hawkins acquiring majority voting control. |
| • | On August 6, 2020, Carey Cooley resigned as the Company’s sole director, president, secretary, and treasurer, and appointed Richard Hawkins to those positions. Mr. Hawkins has served continuously as Chief Executive Officer and sole director since that date. |
Following the 2020 control transition, the Company resumed public disclosure through OTC Markets and has continued to provide annual, quarterly, and current information. The Company has not issued toxic or highly dilutive convertible instruments and has maintained governance and disclosure practices consistent with its current strategy.
In December 2025, the Company entered into a definitive business combination agreement with Kepler Fusion Technologies Inc., pursuant to which Kepler Fusion became our wholly owned subsidiary on February 27, 2026. This transaction integrated Kepler Fusion's assets, technology, and operations into the Company. This transaction represents the Company’s pivot to advanced fusion energy development. The Company intends to change its corporate name to American Fusion, Inc. in the near future
On February 27, 2026, the Special 2020 Series A Preferred Share of the Company, which carries super-voting rights sufficient to control stockholder matters, was transferred to Earth Sciences Fund I LLC and Brent Nelson. As a result of this transfer, Earth Sciences Fund I LLC became the holder of the Special 2020 Series A Preferred Share and holds the voting power associated with that class of stock.
The Company is currently a development-stage entity with no revenue from operations and has included audited financial statements prepared by a PCAOB-registered independent public accounting firm in this registration statement on Form 10, as required by applicable SEC rules.

Risks Related to Our Business and Technology
We are a development-stage company with a history of losses and no revenue, and we may never achieve profitability.
We are a pre-revenue, development-stage company focused on fusion energy technology. Since our inception in 1947, we have undergone multiple business transformations, including periods of limited operations and reporting suspensions. The Company reported net losses of $255,333 and $773,994 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had accumulated deficits of $20,356,048 and $20,100,715, respectively. Our operations have been funded primarily through equity issuances and related-party loans, and we have no history of generating revenue from our Texatron™ platform or any other product. We expect to continue incurring significant losses as we advance R&D, prototype testing, and commercialization efforts. If we fail to achieve technological milestones, such as demonstrating a 100 MW Texatron™ system by the end of 2026, or secure additional financing (including our planned $50 million raise in 2026), we may be unable to continue as a going concern. Our independent auditors may issue a qualified opinion on our financial statements if substantial doubt exists about our ability to continue operations.
Our fusion technology is unproven and may never achieve commercial viability.
The Texatron™ platform relies on pulsed magneto-inertial fusion using aneutronic fuels like deuterium-helium-3 (D–He³), which requires higher plasma temperatures than traditional deuterium-tritium systems. We have not yet achieved net-positive energy fusion, sustained reactions, or grid-scale power generation. Proof-of-principle experiments, such as our Version 9 prototype in Midland, Texas, have demonstrated stable plasma formation at sub-fusion temperatures, but scaling to fusion-relevant conditions involves significant uncertainties, including plasma instability, MHD disruptions, material degradation from charged particles, and efficient direct energy conversion. If we cannot overcome these technical challenges, our technology may fail, rendering our IP and investments worthless.
We depend on successful R&D and prototype testing, which are inherently uncertain and costly.
Our success hinges on advancing the Texatron™ through milestones like third-party IP valuation, audited financials, and a 100 MW demonstration by end-2026. R&D expenses are expected to increase substantially, and unforeseen issues (e.g., component failures, data anomalies, or safety incidents) could delay progress. We have limited resources and may not attract or retain specialized talent in plasma physics, materials science, or engineering. Past experiments validate core concepts, but full-scale testing may reveal flaws, leading to redesigns, cost overruns, or abandonment.
Our aneutronic fusion approach involves unique risks, including fuel supply challenges.
While D–He³ fusion offers benefits like reduced neutron damage and minimal waste, it requires rare helium-3, which is scarce on Earth and primarily sourced from lunar regolith or tritium decay. Supply disruptions, geopolitical issues, or price volatility could hinder development. Alternative fuels may not perform as expected, and our direct energy conversion methods remain experimental, potentially resulting in lower efficiency or system failures.
Our pulsed operation model may introduce additional engineering complexities and failure modes.
The Texatron™'s cyclic pulsed design, involving rapid compression and dissipation, could lead to fatigue in magnetic coils, vacuum systems, or structural components over repeated cycles. Unanticipated wear or synchronization errors in pulse timing may cause system failures, increasing maintenance costs and delaying commercialization.
We may not achieve the projected efficiencies or cost reductions from our modular design.
Our Texatron™ is designed for modular scaling (1 MW to 500 MW), but manufacturing complexities, integration issues, or unforeseen economies of scale limitations could result in higher-than-expected costs per unit. If modular deployment does not yield the anticipated reductions in construction time or expenses, our Power-as-a-Service model may not be competitive.
Our IP development timeline may not be achieved, exposing us to competitive risks.
We plan to file at least 250 additional patent applications by the end of 2026, but delays in drafting, prosecution, or approvals could leave our technology unprotected. If competitors file similar patents first or challenge ours, we may lose market advantage or face infringement claims.
We depend on third-party validations and partnerships for key milestones.
Our development timeline includes third-party valuation of our intellectual property and potential collaborations (e.g., for data center pilots or university research). If these validations are unfavorable or partnerships fail to materialize, it could delay financing, erode investor confidence, or require us to seek alternatives at higher cost.
Our reliance on aneutronic fusion may limit our ability to achieve net-positive energy in the near term.
Aneutronic D–He³ fusion requires significantly higher plasma temperatures and densities than deuterium-tritium systems, which have themselves not yet achieved sustained net-positive energy at scale. If we cannot reach these conditions efficiently within our pulsed architecture, our timeline for commercialization could be substantially delayed or our technology may prove commercially unviable.
| 4 |
We may experience material delays or failures in prototype scaling and testing.
Our current Version 9 prototype testing in Midland, Texas, is at sub-fusion temperatures. Scaling to higher power outputs (e.g., 100 MW demonstration by end-2026) involves increased magnetic field strengths, energy inputs, and material stresses that could reveal unforeseen instabilities, component failures, or safety issues, requiring iterative redesigns and additional capital.
Our direct energy conversion technology is experimental and may not achieve expected efficiencies.
While charged particle output from aneutronic reactions theoretically enables direct electrical generation without thermal cycles, practical implementation (e.g., magnetic field pressure capture) remains unproven at scale. Lower-than-expected conversion efficiency could make our systems uneconomic compared to conventional generation.
We face risks associated with fuel sourcing and availability.
Helium-3 is extremely rare on Earth and expensive to produce or extract. Any disruption in supply (e.g., from tritium decay sources or future lunar mining concepts) or significant price increases could impair our ability to conduct experiments or deploy systems, forcing reliance on alternative fuels with inferior characteristics.
Safety incidents involving our prototypes could result in significant liability or reputational harm.
High-energy plasma, strong magnetic fields, and pulsed power systems pose risks of electrical hazards, implosions, or radiation exposure (even if minimal in aneutronic systems). Any incident could lead to injuries, regulatory shutdowns, litigation, or negative publicity, delaying development and harming investor confidence.
We may not achieve the anticipated benefits of direct energy conversion.
Our reliance on charged particle output for direct electrical generation is experimental and may yield lower efficiencies than projected due to magnetic field losses or particle scattering. If thermal cycles become necessary as a fallback, this could increase system complexity, costs, and environmental footprint, undermining our competitive advantage.
Regulatory and Environmental Risks
We are subject to extensive government regulations, and failure to obtain approvals could prevent commercialization.
Fusion development requires approvals from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), including export controls under the Atomic Energy Act. Our Texatron™ may need NRC licensing for demonstration plants, environmental impact assessments, and compliance with IAEA standards for international expansion. Regulatory processes are lengthy (potentially years), uncertain, and evolving—changes in fusion guidelines or policy (e.g., under the ADVANCE Act) could delay us. Non-compliance risks fines, shutdowns, or bans.
Environmental, health, and safety risks could impact operations and public perception.
Although aneutronic fusion produces minimal radiation, our prototypes involve high-energy plasma and magnetic fields, posing risks of electromagnetic interference, material failures, or accidents. Public opposition to nuclear technologies (including fusion) could lead to protests, litigation, or permitting denials. Climate-related regulations (e.g., IRA incentives) may benefit us but could change unfavorably.
Fusion-specific regulatory frameworks are evolving and uncertain.
The NRC and DOE have limited precedent for regulating commercial fusion (as opposed to fission). Emerging guidelines (e.g., under the ADVANCE Act or DOE fusion programs) could impose unexpected requirements, timelines, or costs. Changes in federal fusion policy or funding priorities could adversely affect us.
We may be subject to export control and national security restrictions.
Our technology involves sensitive plasma physics and magnetic confinement know-how that may be classified as dual-use or subject to ITAR/EAR export controls. Restrictions on international collaboration, sales, or technology transfer could limit our global deployment strategy.
Environmental permitting and public opposition could delay or prevent deployments.
Even with low radiation output, siting Texatron™ units near customers (e.g., data centers) may require environmental impact statements under NEPA. Public or community opposition to fusion (due to nuclear associations) could result in local zoning denials or delays.
Changes in energy and climate policies could adversely affect our business.
We depend on favorable policies like the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) incentives for clean energy and fusion funding. Repeals, modifications, or delays in these programs (e.g., 45Q carbon credits or DOE grants) could reduce our access to subsidies, increase costs, or diminish market demand for fusion technologies.
We face risks related to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) expectations.
Investors and regulators increasingly focus on ESG factors. Our fusion technology aims for low emissions, but perceived environmental impacts (e.g., water use in cooling or rare material mining for helium-3) could lead to negative ratings, boycotts, or additional reporting burdens under SEC climate disclosure rules.
| 5 |
Compliance with evolving data privacy and security regulations could increase costs.
As we target data centers and AI applications, we may process sensitive operational data subject to laws like GDPR, CCPA, or emerging AI regulations. Breaches or non-compliance could lead to fines, reputational damage, or restrictions on our technology.
Market and Competition Risks
The fusion energy market is nascent and highly competitive, and we may not achieve market acceptance.
Fusion remains experimental, with no commercial plants operational. Competitors like TAE Technologies (recently merged with TMTG), Commonwealth Fusion Systems, and international programs (e.g., ITER) have more funding and advanced prototypes. We also face indirect competition from renewables (solar, wind), advanced fission (e.g., microreactors by NNE or Oklo), and fossil fuels. If alternatives advance faster or prove cheaper, demand for our Texatron™ may not materialize. High-profile sector events (e.g., TMTG/TAE merger) increase visibility but intensify competition for talent, funding, and partners.
Our Power-as-a-Service model is untested and depends on customer adoption.
We plan to deploy modular Texatron™ units (1–500 MW) for data centers, industry, and defense, but we have no contracts yet. Customers may prefer established energy sources due to fusion's perceived risks or high upfront costs. Energy price volatility, policy changes (e.g., subsidies expiration), or economic downturns could reduce demand.
We face intense competition from both fusion and non-fusion energy sources.
In addition to fusion competitors (e.g., TAE Technologies, Commonwealth Fusion Systems, Helion Energy), we compete with established renewables (solar, wind, battery storage), advanced fission (small modular reactors), and traditional baseload sources (natural gas, nuclear fission). Rapid advancements in any of these could reduce demand for fusion-based solutions.
The AI and data center market may not adopt fusion power as quickly as anticipated.
While we target hyperscale data centers for their massive baseload needs, customers may prioritize proven technologies or delay adoption until fusion proves reliable at scale. Shifts in AI energy demand or alternative solutions (e.g., onsite fission) could reduce our addressable market.
Demand for baseload power may be affected by advancements in alternative technologies.
Rapid progress in energy storage (e.g., advanced batteries), renewables integration, or AI efficiency could reduce the need for fusion-based baseload solutions. If data centers or industries shift to decentralized solar-plus-storage, our targeted markets may shrink.
Energy policy and incentives are subject to change.
Our business model relies on favorable energy transition policies (e.g., Inflation Reduction Act credits, carbon pricing, or DOE fusion funding). Repeal or modification of these incentives could reduce customer interest or our economic viability.
Geopolitical events could disrupt our fuel supply and international expansion.
Helium-3 sourcing may be impacted by international trade tensions or conflicts affecting tritium production or rare isotope markets. Restrictions on technology exports (e.g., to China or Russia) could limit our global deployment plans, increasing costs or excluding key markets.
Financial and Operational Risks
We require substantial additional capital, and we may not be able to obtain it on favorable terms.
We expect to need at least $50 million in 2026 for R&D, testing, and operations, with ongoing requirements thereafter. Our history includes periods of limited liquidity and reporting suspensions. If we cannot raise funds through equity, debt, or grants, we may curtail activities or cease operations. Dilutive financings could harm shareholders, and debt could impose restrictions.
We rely on key suppliers and may face supply chain disruptions.
We depend on third-party suppliers for magnets, vacuum systems, and helium-3. Shortages, geopolitical tensions (e.g., rare isotopes), or quality issues could delay development. We have no long-term supply agreements yet.
Our intellectual property may not adequately protect our technology, or we may infringe others' rights.
We hold patents on Texatron™ innovations and plan 250+ filings by 2026, but IP protection is uncertain in emerging fusion. Competitors may challenge our patents or develop workarounds. Infringement claims could result in costly litigation or redesigns.
We depend on key personnel and may not attract or retain talent.
Our small team of 10 key personal (and 20 planned future engineering staff) includes experts like Dr. John E. Brandenburg (CTO). Loss of key personnel could disrupt R&D. The fusion sector's talent competition may hinder recruitment.
Our planned $50 million financing may not close on acceptable terms or at all.
We are planning a $50 million raise in 2026 to fund development. Failure to complete this (or future) financing on favorable terms could force us to scale back R&D, delay milestones, or seek dilutive alternatives.
| 6 |
We may face challenges in manufacturing and scaling production.
We currently have no dedicated manufacturing facilities and rely on third-party suppliers. Scaling to produce modular Texatron™ units globally could encounter quality control issues, cost overruns, or delays, particularly given the specialized nature of fusion components.
We may not be able to obtain insurance adequate to cover our risks.
The novel nature of fusion technology may make insurance coverage limited, expensive, or unavailable for certain risks (e.g., prototype accidents, IP disputes). Any uninsured losses could be material.
Inflation and interest rate fluctuations could increase our costs.
Rising costs for materials, labor, or energy (e.g., due to inflation or high interest rates) could strain our limited resources, particularly for R&D and prototype construction. Our planned financings may become more expensive or unavailable in a high-rate environment.
Currency exchange rate fluctuations could affect our international operations.
Our plans for global expansion (e.g., to Africa, India, Middle East) expose us to foreign currency risks. Fluctuations in exchange rates could increase costs for imported components (e.g., helium-3) or reduce the competitiveness of our pricing in foreign markets.
We may encounter difficulties in managing growth if we scale successfully.
If we achieve technological breakthroughs, rapid expansion could strain our management, operations, financial controls, and supply chains. Inadequate infrastructure, hiring delays, or integration of new personnel may lead to inefficiencies, quality issues, regulatory non-compliance, or increased vulnerability to operational disruptions.
Risks Related to Our Corporate Structure and History
Our history as a public company and past reporting lapses may attract scrutiny.
From 2009–2019, we had limited operations and suspended SEC reporting via Form 15 in 2009. The 2020 custodianship and control changes (via preferred share transfers) revived us, but regulators or investors may view us as a former shell, increasing scrutiny. Our OTC status and planned future uplist (NASDAQ/TXSE) depend on meeting requirements.
The Kepler Fusion merger may present integration risks.
The December 2025 merger with Kepler Fusion is complete, but integrating operations, IP, and teams could divert resources or cause disruptions. Unforeseen liabilities from Kepler could arise.
Recent changes in control through preferred stock transfers could lead to governance instability.
Our history includes multiple transfers of the Special 2020 Series A Preferred Share, which carries majority voting control. The most recent transfer on February 27, 2026, to Earth Sciences Fund I LLC and Brent Nelson further concentrates control. This could result in decisions that do not align with minority shareholder interests, attract regulatory scrutiny, or create uncertainty in our governance structure.
General Economic and Market Risks
Economic conditions could adversely affect us.
Inflation, interest rate hikes, or recessions may increase costs or reduce financing availability. Geopolitical events (e.g., energy crises) could impact supply chains or demand.
Cybersecurity threats could harm our operations.
Our R&D involves sensitive data; breaches could expose IP or cause delays.
Legal, Governance, and Public Company Risks
Our history of control changes and past reporting suspensions may lead to increased scrutiny.
The 2020 custodianship and preferred share transfers that resulted in current control could attract regulatory or investor attention. Our prior Form 15 termination and limited disclosure period may raise concerns about governance continuity.

We may be unable to maintain effective internal controls as a public company.
Upon effectiveness of this Form 10, we will become subject to SOX Section 404 requirements. Our small size and limited resources may result in material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting, leading to restatements, penalties, or loss of investor confidence.
Our common stock may be thinly traded, leading to price volatility.
Our stock currently trades on OTC Markets with low volume. An uplist to NASDAQ or TXSE is planned but not guaranteed. Thin trading could result in extreme price swings unrelated to fundamentals.
We may face shareholder litigation or activist pressure.
As a public company with a development-stage profile and recent merger, we may be subject to securities class actions, derivative suits, or activist campaigns, diverting management attention and incurring costs.
Our dependence on government grants and partnerships exposes us to additional risks.
We may seek DOE or other grants for fusion development, but these could include strings (e.g., reporting requirements, IP sharing). Loss of partnerships (e.g., with universities or Trinity Group for data centers) could slow progress.
We may be subject to anti-corruption and trade compliance laws.
Our international expansion plans (e.g., to Africa, India, Middle East) expose us to laws like the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and U.S. trade sanctions. Violations could result in severe penalties, investigations, or business restrictions.
Insider transactions and related-party dealings could create conflicts.
Our history includes related-party loans and control changes. Future transactions with affiliates (e.g., CEO Hawkins) may raise conflict concerns, requiring disclosure and potentially leading to shareholder challenges or regulatory scrutiny.
Risks Related to Our Common Stock and Being a Public Company
Our common stock is thinly traded and subject to price volatility.
Our common stock currently trades on the OTC Markets with limited volume and liquidity. As a result, relatively small sales or purchases can disproportionately affect the price, leading to extreme volatility. Factors unrelated to our performance (e.g., market sentiment toward fusion energy, macroeconomic conditions, or news about competitors like TAE Technologies) could cause significant price swings. There is no assurance that an active trading market will develop or be sustained, particularly prior to any uplist to NASDAQ or the Texas Stock Exchange (TXSE).
Future sales of our common stock or securities convertible into common stock could cause the market price to decline.
We may issue additional shares of common stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock (e.g., in connection with financings, debt settlements, employee compensation, or acquisitions) to raise capital or incentivize personnel. Such issuances, including from existing warrants, options, or convertible instruments, could dilute existing shareholders and depress the market price of our common stock.
We may not be able to maintain the listing of our common stock on a national securities exchange if we uplist.
We intend to apply for listing on NASDAQ or the Texas Stock Exchange (TXSE) following the effectiveness of this registration statement. However, we may not meet initial listing standards (e.g., minimum bid price, shareholders’ equity, or public float requirements) or maintain compliance thereafter. Failure to uplist or a subsequent delisting could reduce liquidity, impair investor confidence, and limit our access to capital markets.
We have a relatively small public float and may be subject to “penny stock” rules if we fail to uplist.
If we remain quoted on the OTC Markets, our common stock could be considered a “penny stock” under SEC rules if the price falls below $5.00 per share (or if we otherwise meet the definition). Penny stock rules impose additional disclosure requirements and restrictions on broker-dealers, which could reduce liquidity and make it more difficult for investors to buy or sell our shares.
There may be limited analyst coverage and institutional interest in our common stock.
As a small, development-stage company in an emerging sector, we may receive limited coverage from securities analysts. Lack of analyst reports or institutional ownership could reduce visibility, trading volume, and demand for our stock, contributing to price volatility.
We will incur increased costs and demands on management as a result of becoming a public company.
Upon the effectiveness of this Form 10, we will become subject to the full reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, including annual and quarterly reports, proxy statements, and compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) Section 404 internal controls. These obligations will increase legal, accounting, insurance, and administrative expenses and divert management attention from business operations. Our limited resources and small team may make compliance challenging.
We may fail to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting.
As a public company, we will be required to evaluate and maintain effective internal controls under SOX Section 404. Our small size and limited accounting resources may result in material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Any failure to remediate could lead to restatements, regulatory sanctions, loss of investor confidence, or difficulty accessing capital.
Provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws may discourage takeovers.
Our governing documents may include provisions (e.g., staggered board, supermajority voting for certain actions) that could delay or prevent a change in control, even if beneficial to shareholders. These anti-takeover measures could depress our stock price or deter acquisition offers.
We do not intend to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.
We have never paid cash dividends and do not anticipate paying any in the near term, as we intend to retain earnings (if any) for R&D and growth. Investors seeking dividends may find our stock less attractive.
Our executive officers and directors have significant control over the Company.
Our executive officers and directors beneficially own a substantial portion of our voting stock (including through prior control changes). This concentration could influence corporate actions (e.g., mergers, executive compensation) in ways that are not aligned with minority shareholders’ interests.
| 8 |
Our common stock is currently limited to unsolicited quotations on OTC Markets, and we must complete a broker-dealer review under SEC Rule 15c2-11 to restore full quotation eligibility, which could adversely affect trading liquidity.
Our common stock is currently quoted on OTC Markets; however, it is designated as eligible for unsolicited quotations only. This means
no broker-dealer has completed the initial information review required under Rule 15c2-11 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to publish
proprietary quotations or provide continuous market making in our shares. As a result, all existing quotations reflect unsolicited customer
orders only, which typically results in wider bid-ask spreads, increased price volatility, and limited trading liquidity. A sponsoring
broker-dealer must file a Form 211 with FINRA and complete the requisite review of our issuer information under Rule 15c2-11 before competing
quotations can be published and continuous market making can commence. If we are unable to secure a sponsoring broker-dealer, or if the
Form 211 review process is delayed or denied due to incomplete disclosures, regulatory review, or other factors, our common stock will
remain in unsolicited-only status, and investors may continue to face significant difficulty buying or selling shares at favorable prices.
This limited trading environment could harm our ability to attract capital, maintain market visibility, and could result in price declines
that do not reflect the underlying value of our business.
Forward-Looking Statements
The risks described above are not exhaustive. New risks may emerge, and our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects could be materially and adversely affected by any of these or other risks. We may identify additional risks in future filings. See also "Forward-Looking Statements" in Item 1.

ITEM 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments
Not Applicable
We recognize the critical importance of safeguarding our systems and data, particularly given our focus on proprietary fusion energy technology and intellectual property. Cybersecurity risks could include unauthorized access, data breaches, ransomware, or other disruptions that could compromise our R&D efforts, prototype testing data, trade secrets, or operational systems.
Risk Management and Strategy
Our cybersecurity risk management processes are managed by our executive management team (currently our Chief Executive Officer, with support from consultants and third-party IT providers). These processes include:
We have not yet established a formal cybersecurity committee of the Board (due to our small size and single-director structure), but cybersecurity is reviewed as part of overall risk oversight by our Board of Directors (currently consisting solely of our Chief Executive Officer).
Governance
Our Chief Executive Officer is responsible for overseeing cybersecurity risks and receives periodic updates on threats, incidents, and mitigation efforts. Significant cybersecurity matters are escalated to the full Board as needed.
Cybersecurity
Incidents
To date, we have not experienced any material cybersecurity incidents that have had, or are reasonably likely to have, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.
We continue to evaluate and enhance our cybersecurity measures as our operations expand and technology risks evolve.
Item 1D. [Reserved]
We do not own any real property. Our principal executive offices are located at 8 The Green, Suite #12401, Dover, DE 19901, which we lease on a month-to-month basis. This space is used primarily for administrative purposes.
We also lease R&D and prototype testing facilities in Midland, Texas, which we use for development and testing of our Texatron™ fusion energy platform, including the Version 9 prototype. The Texas facility was leased under a short-term agreement and provides sufficient space for our current experimental and engineering activities as we look for a new facility in North Fort Worth, Texas.
We believe that our current facilities are adequate for our present needs and that additional space can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms as needed to accommodate future growth and expansion of our operations.
These leased properties are subject to standard commercial lease terms, including rent escalations and maintenance obligations. We do not anticipate any material difficulties in renewing or replacing these leases when they expire.

The Company is currently pursuing legal proceedings in the Superior Court of the State of Washington, King County, relating to the cancellation of shares issued in connection with transactions that were never consummated.
In 2021, the Company entered into asset purchase agreements with certain third parties who represented that they owned operating businesses and intellectual property assets. In reliance on those representations and in anticipation of closing, the Company issued shares of its common stock at the direction of those counterparties to individuals designated by them.
The required closing deliverables, including the transfer of intellectual property, regulatory rights, operational documentation, and other assets contemplated by the agreements, were never delivered. As a result, the transactions did not close and the Company received no consideration for the shares that had been issued in anticipation of those transactions.
Because the shares were issued prior to completion of the contemplated closings, those shares remain reflected on the Company’s shareholder ledger despite the failure of the underlying transactions. The Company’s transfer agent has advised that cancellation of the affected shares requires a court order authorizing removal of the shares from the Company’s shareholder records.
Accordingly, the Company initiated legal proceedings seeking judicial cancellation of the shares issued in connection with those failed transactions and confirmation that no party associated with those transactions has any legal or equitable interest in the Company’s stock.
The shares issued in connection with the failed transactions consisted solely of common stock and did not involve the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock or any securities currently used in the Company’s governance structure.
Justin Costello, an individual identified as a shareholder in historical disclosures, was initially named in the action because he was associated with shares issued at the direction of one of the counterparties to the failed transactions. Mr. Costello is not an officer, director, or control person of the Company and has no involvement in the Company’s management or operations. The Company filed a motion to dismiss Mr. Costello from the action on January 7, 2026, and the Court subsequently entered an order on February 26, 2026 dismissing all claims against Mr. Costello without prejudice.
The Company notes that Mr. Costello has been named as a defendant in an unrelated enforcement action brought by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company is not a party to that matter, and the events described in that enforcement action do not involve the Company’s current management, operations, governance, or capitalization.
The Company continues to pursue relief against the remaining parties associated with the failed transactions in order to obtain a judicial order authorizing cancellation of the improperly issued shares and permitting the Company’s transfer agent to correct the Company’s shareholder ledger.
The shares associated with the failed transactions are currently subject to administrative restrictions with the Company’s transfer agent and are not transferable.

PART II
ITEM 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
Market Information
Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTC Markets Group under the symbol “RNWF.” There is no established public trading market for our common stock on a national securities exchange. Trading on the OTC Markets is limited and subject to the risks associated with over-the-counter securities, including low liquidity and potential volatility. The OTC quotation is limited and sporadic, and there can be no assurance that a more active trading market will develop or be sustained in the future.
The following table sets forth the high and low bid prices for our common stock for the periods indicated, as reported by the OTC Markets Group. These quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission, and may not necessarily represent actual transactions.
Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2025
Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2024
Holders of Record
As of March 12, 2026, there were approximately 145 holders of record of our common stock. The number of beneficial owners is likely significantly greater due to shares held in street name by brokers and other nominees.
Dividend Policy
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain any future earnings to fund the development and growth of our business, including research and development of the Texatron™ platform. Any future determination to declare cash dividends will be made at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, general business conditions, and other factors that our Board of Directors may deem relevant.
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
During the period from January 1, 2024 through the date of this registration statement, the Company issued an aggregate of 329,739,715 shares of its common stock to consultants and professional service providers as compensation for services rendered to the Company, including strategic advisory, corporate development, legal services, and other operational support.
These issuances were made in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as transactions not involving a public offering. The recipients represented that they were acquiring the securities for investment purposes and not with a view toward distribution.
The shares were issued with appropriate restrictive legends in accordance with the Securities Act. No underwriters, placement agents, or finders were used in connection with these issuances, and no underwriting discounts or commissions were paid.
| 12 |
Equity Compensation Plans
We do not currently have any equity compensation plans under which equity securities are authorized for issuance. Any future equity incentive plans will be disclosed in subsequent filings.
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
We did not repurchase any shares of our common stock during the periods covered by this registration statement.
In accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, Item 6 has been reserved and is not applicable to this registration statement.
ITEM 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes contained elsewhere in this Report and in our other Securities and Exchange Commission filings. The following discussion may contain predictions, estimates, and other forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties, including those discussed under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Report. These risks could cause our actual results to differ materially from any future performance suggested below.
Overview
Renewal Fuels, Inc. is a public company that historically maintained limited operations while pursuing strategic transactions intended to establish an operating business. During the periods presented, the Company’s activities consisted primarily of maintaining its corporate structure, addressing legacy liabilities, and pursuing strategic initiatives intended to transition the Company into an operating technology business.
On December 16, 2025, the Company entered into a Master Sales Agreement and Share Exchange Agreement in connection with a planned reverse acquisition involving Kepler Fusion Technologies Inc. The agreements contemplated the acquisition of 100% of the issued and outstanding equity of Kepler in exchange for newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock.
The transaction did not close prior to December 31, 2025, because certain closing mechanics had not yet been satisfied as of year end. The transaction subsequently closed on February 27, 2026, at which time Kepler became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company on February 27, 2026.
For financial reporting purposes, the transaction will be accounted for as a reverse acquisition under ASC Topic 805. Although Renewal Fuels, Inc. is the legal acquirer, Kepler is considered the accounting acquirer because Kepler’s shareholders obtained a controlling voting interest in the combined entity and Kepler’s management will control the ongoing operations.
Because the transaction closed after December 31, 2025, the financial statements included in this report do not reflect Kepler’s assets, liabilities, or operations. Future financial statements will reflect Kepler as the accounting predecessor entity.
Preliminary valuation analysis prepared by Rockport Valuation LLC indicates an estimated transaction value of approximately $50.3 million based on the public market value of the Company’s shares and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. The purchase price allocation remains preliminary and is subject to further analysis and adjustment during the measurement period permitted under ASC Topic 805.
Results of Operations
The Company generated no operating revenue during the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Activities during these periods were limited primarily to corporate administration, legal expenses, consulting costs, and costs associated with the negotiation and execution of the Kepler Fusion business combination.
Operating expenses consisted primarily of professional fees, consulting expenses, and general administrative costs necessary to maintain the Company’s public reporting status and pursue strategic transactions.
The Company recorded recurring operating losses during the periods presented and had an accumulated deficit of approximately $20.3 million as of December 31, 2025.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Historically, the Company has financed its operations through advances from related parties and the issuance of convertible promissory notes. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had notes payable to related parties totaling approximately $473,523.
The Company also had an accumulated deficit of approximately $20.3 million as of December 31, 2025 and has historically generated operating losses. As a result, the Company has relied on external financing to fund its operations.
Management believes the successful completion of the Kepler Fusion transaction on February 27, 2026 provides a pathway toward establishing operating activities. However, the Company will require additional capital to fund development of Kepler’s technology platform and to support ongoing operations.
| 13 |
There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available on acceptable terms, or at all.
Based on preliminary valuation analysis, the business combination may result in the recognition of significant intangible assets and goodwill once the purchase price allocation process is completed.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements.
Significant accounting policies are described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report. Management believes the following accounting policies involve the most significant judgments and estimates:
Business Combination Accounting
The consummated business combination with Kepler Fusion Technologies Inc. will be accounted for as a reverse acquisition under ASC Topic 805. Determining the accounting acquirer and the fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities acquired will require significant management judgment and valuation analysis.
Going Concern
The Company’s financial statements have been prepared assuming it will continue as a going concern. As discussed in the notes to the financial statements, the Company has incurred recurring losses and has an accumulated deficit, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company periodically issues equity securities to consultants and service providers in consideration for services rendered. These issuances are measured based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued on the grant date.
Forward-Looking Statements
This section contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Actual results could differ materially due to risks described in Item 1A. These statements are based on our current expectations and are subject to risks and uncertainties, including those discussed in Item 1A. Risk Factors.
ITEM 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
As a “smaller reporting company” we are not required to provide information required by this Item. We do not currently have any material exposure to market risk, including interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange rate risk, commodity price risk, or equity price risk. As we advance our research and development activities and begin to generate revenue or hold financial instruments in the future, we may become subject to such risks, which could materially affect our financial condition and results of operations.
ITEM 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
The financial statements required by this Item are set forth at the end of this registration statement beginning on page F-1.
ITEM 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
None.
On December 17, 2025, the Company engaged JVCPA, P.C., an independent registered public accounting firm, to audit the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. The engagement includes the audit of the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, together with the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Prior to the engagement of JVCPA, P.C., the Company did not have an independent registered public accounting firm engaged to audit its financial statements for those periods. The decision to engage JVCPA, P.C. was approved by management and the Company’s board of directors.
During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years and through the date of engagement, the Company has not had any disagreements with any accountant on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure.
ITEM 9A. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (who serves as our principal executive officer and principal financial officer), 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, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of December 31, 2025. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us 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 principal executive and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based on this evaluation, our principal executive and principal financial officer concluded that, as of March 12 our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Management’s Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
This registration statement does not include a report of management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting or an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm due to a transition period established by rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission for newly public companies. As a non-accelerated filer and smaller reporting company, we are exempt from the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
As a non-accelerated filer and smaller reporting company, we are not currently required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. However, pursuant to Section 404(a), management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Management will perform its first annual assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026 (or the first full fiscal year after the effectiveness of this registration statement), and such assessment will be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for that year.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on Internal Controls
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness for future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. No evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.
None.
We have no information to report under this Item 9B that has not otherwise been disclosed in this registration statement or in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
ITEM 9C. Disclosure Regarding Foreign Jurisdictions That Prevent Inspections

Family Relationships
There are no family relationships between or among any of the current directors, executive officers or persons nominated or charged to become directors or executive officers. We do not have any arrangements or understandings pursuant to which our directors were selected as directors.
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
During the past ten years, none of our directors or executive officers has been involved in any of the following events that would require disclosure under Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K:
Code of Ethics
We have not yet adopted a formal code of ethics applicable to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, or persons performing similar functions. Given our small size and current stage of development, we believe it is not yet practical to adopt such a code. We intend to adopt a code of ethics as our operations grow and become more complex.
Director
Terms
Directors are elected at the annual meeting of stockholders and hold office until their successors are elected and qualified, or until their earlier death, resignation, or removal. Our Board of Directors currently consists of one director, and we have no classified or staggered board structure.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our officers, directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission. To our knowledge, based solely on a review of the copies of such reports furnished to us and written representations from certain reporting persons, no such reports were required to be filed during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, as we were not subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) prior to the effectiveness of this registration statement.

ITEM 11. Executive Compensation
As a smaller reporting company, we have elected to comply with the scaled disclosure requirements of Regulation S-K Items 402(m)–(r).
The following table sets forth the compensation awarded to, earned by, or paid to our named executive officer(s) for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 (or such shorter period as applicable):

Narrative
Disclosure
During the fiscal years presented, compensation for Richard Hawkins, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and sole director during the applicable periods, consisted of accrued cash compensation for services rendered. Such compensation has not been paid in cash and is recorded as a liability of the Company pursuant to promissory notes issued to an affiliated consulting entity controlled by Mr. Hawkins. The notes reflect principal amounts only and do not bear interest.
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, the Company accrued $50,000 in compensation for Mr. Hawkins. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, the Company accrued $45,000 in compensation for Mr. Hawkins. These amounts represent compensation earned for executive management, governance oversight, regulatory compliance, and public company reporting responsibilities. Because the promissory notes evidencing this accrued compensation are payable to an entity controlled by Mr. Hawkins, the arrangements constitute related party transactions
Except as described above, the Company has not granted any stock awards, option awards, or non-equity incentive compensation to any executive officer or director. No perquisites, benefits, or other compensation were provided during the periods presented.
Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End
No executive officer held any outstanding equity awards as of the end of the most recent fiscal year.
Director Compensation
The Company has not adopted a formal director compensation program. During the fiscal years presented, Mr. Hawkins did not receive any separate compensation for his service as a director.
The Company currently has independent directors; however, none of the directors have received compensation for their service as directors as of the date of this registration statement. Any future director compensation will be determined by the Board of Directors based on the Company’s financial condition, market practices, and other relevant considerations.

ITEM 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence
Related Party Transactions
During the past two fiscal years and through the date of this registration statement, there have been no transactions, and there are no proposed transactions, in which we were or are to be a participant and the amount involved exceeded or will exceed the lesser of $120,000 or 1% of the average of our total assets at year-end for the last two completed fiscal years, and in which any related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest, except as follows:
| • | Accrued Executive Compensation: As disclosed in Item 11, compensation earned by our Chief Executive Officer has been accrued and recorded as a liability pursuant to promissory notes issued to an affiliated consulting entity controlled by Mr. Hawkins. These notes reflect principal amounts only and do not bear interest. Additional information regarding these arrangements is included in the notes to our financial statements. |
| • | Merger with Kepler Fusion: The December 2025 business combination with Kepler Fusion Technologies Inc. involved the issuance of 240,000,000 common shares to Kepler shareholders closed on February 27, 2026, involving the issuance of 240,000,000 common shares to Kepler shareholders. No related-party consideration was paid beyond the share issuance to Kepler equity holders. |
| • | Preferred Share Transfer: On February 27, 2026, the Special 2020 Series A Preferred Share was transferred to Earth Sciences Fund I LLC, an entity owned by Brent Nelson. This transaction resulted in a change in voting control but involved no cash consideration or other material terms to the Company. |
| • | Executive Compensation: As disclosed in Item 11, compensation earned by our Chief Executive Officer has been accrued and recorded as a liability pursuant to promissory notes and has not been paid in cash. |
All related-party transactions have been approved by our Board of Directors and are on terms believed to be no less favorable to us than could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties.
Policies and Procedures for Related Party Transactions
We do not currently have a formal written policy or procedure for the review, approval, or ratification of related-party transactions. All such transactions are reviewed and approved by our Board of Directors on a case-by-case basis, considering the nature of the transaction, the related person’s interest, and whether the terms are fair and reasonable.
Director Independence
Our Board of Directors currently consists of Richard Hawkins, Fabrice David and Andrew S. Mikulski. Mr. Hawkins serves as Chief Executive Officer of the Company and therefore is not considered independent under the independence standards of NASDAQ or the NYSE. The Board has determined that Mr. David and Mr. Mikulski qualify as independent directors under those standards.
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to maintain a majority of independent directors or to maintain separately designated audit, compensation, or nominating committees.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors
Renewal Fuels, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Renewal Fuels Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements (collectively, the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1, Going Concern to the financial statements, the Company has a working capital deficit of $1,200,875 and an accumulated deficit of $20,356,048 as of December 31, 2025. Additionally, the Company had a working capital deficit of $1,008,342 and an accumulated deficit of $20,100,715 as of December 31, 2024, and has not established revenue sources to cover its operating costs. These factors raise substantial doubt 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 financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s 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 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 Company’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
Critical audit matters 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. We determined that there are no critical audit matters.

RENEWAL FUELS, INC.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Years Ended December 31, 2025 and 2024
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Organization and Business
Renewal Fuels, Inc. ("RNWF" or the "Company") is a Delaware corporation. As of December 31, 2025, the Company was a public company with minimal assets and limited business operations. On December 16, 2025, the Company entered into a Master Sales Agreement and Share Exchange Agreement with Kepler Fusion Technologies Inc. ("Kepler"); however, the transaction did not close as of December 31, 2025 because required closing contingencies, including delivery of the Special 2020 Series A Preferred Control Share, had not been satisfied prior to year-end. The transaction subsequently closed on February 27, 2026, as described in Note 10.
The Company’s common stock is quoted on the OTC Markets under the symbol "RNWF."
Microcap Advisors' LLC
Microcap Advisors' LLC is a business advisory and corporate consulting firm that provides strategic advisory services to microcap and small-capitalization companies listed on the OTC Markets and other public markets. The firm specializes in advising early-stage public companies on capital markets strategy, corporate governance, investor relations, and compliance matters. Microcap Advisors' LLC has been engaged by the Company to provide general business advisory services in connection with the Company's OTC Markets listing and corporate development activities.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Principle of Consolidation
The Company’s subsidiaries were inactive during the period and had no assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, or operations. Accordingly, consolidation of these entities would have no effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As of December 31, 2025, the Company has an accumulated deficit of approximately $20.5 million and has incurred recurring losses from operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Significant estimates include the assessment of contingent liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

RENEWAL FUELS, INC.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Years Ended December 31, 2025 and 2024
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Business Combinations
The Company accounts for business combinations in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. Under ASC 805, the acquirer recognizes and measures the identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at their fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. No business combination has been recognized in these financial statements as the Kepler transaction did not close until February 27, 2026 (see Note 10).
For reverse acquisitions, the consideration transferred is determined from the perspective of the accounting acquirer and is measured as the fair value of the equity interests the accounting acquirer would have had to issue to give the owners of the legal acquirer the same percentage ownership interest in the combined entity.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other. No goodwill has been recognized as of December 31, 2025.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company follows ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, which establishes a framework for measuring fair value. The standard establishes a three-level hierarchy:
| • | Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; |
| • | Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices; and |
| • | Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value. |
Contingencies
The Company follows ASC 450, Contingencies, to account for loss contingencies. Liabilities are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated.
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per share includes the dilutive effect of potential common shares. For periods with a net loss, diluted loss per share equals basic loss per share.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740, Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and their respective tax bases. A valuation allowance is established when it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company experienced a change in control during the year; accordingly, the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards may be limited under IRC Section 382.

NOTE 9 – BUSINESS COMBINATION ( SUBSEQUENT EVENTS)
Overview of Transaction
On December 16, 2025, the Company entered into a Master Sales Agreement (the “MSA”) among Manufacturing 360, LLC (“Seller”), Earth Sciences Fund I LLC (“ESF” or “Buyer”), RH2 Equity Partners, LP (“Consultant”), and the Company, and a Share Exchange Agreement (the “SEA”) between the Company and Brent Nelson, the sole shareholder of Kepler Fusion Technologies Inc. (“Kepler”). The agreements contemplate a reverse-merger share exchange transaction under which RNWF would acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Kepler in exchange for newly issued shares of RNWF common stock.
Transaction Not Closed as of December 31, 2025
Although the definitive agreements were executed on December 16, 2025, the transaction was not completed as of December 31, 2025, because the required closing mechanics had not been satisfied prior to year-end. Specifically, delivery of the Special 2020 Series A Preferred Control Share to ESF had not occurred by December 31, 2025. The Costello share litigation is not a condition precedent to closing per Section 5.11 of the MSA.
As a result, the December 31, 2025 financial statements reflect no business combination recognized, no goodwill or identifiable intangible assets recorded, no Kepler assets or liabilities consolidated, and a zero operating asset position at year-end.
Subsequent Closing – February 27, 2026
The transfer of the Special 2020 Series A Preferred Control Share occurred on February 27, 2026, at which point all closing conditions under the MSA and SEA were satisfied. Accordingly, the acquisition date under ASC 805 is February 27, 2026, and purchase accounting will be applied prospectively from that date.
Anticipated Accounting Treatment
The transaction will be accounted for as a reverse acquisition in accordance with ASC 805-40. Although RNWF is the legal acquirer, Kepler is expected to be the accounting acquirer for financial reporting purposes. The following factors support this determination: (1) Kepler’s former shareholders will hold approximately 89.7% of the voting rights in the combined entity; (2) Kepler’s designees will control the board of directors; (3) Kepler’s management will comprise the senior management team; and (4) RNWF was a non-operating public shell with minimal assets.
Upon completion of the purchase price allocation, the Company anticipates recognizing identifiable intangible assets and any resulting goodwill (or bargain purchase gain). The closing stock price on OTC Markets on February 27, 2026 was $0.0356. Rockport Investment Partners is performing the valuation analysis and purchase price allocation work. The Company anticipates engaging JV CPA Inc. for a sub-period audit covering the post-closing period, including full ASC 805 purchase accounting.
Key Terms of the Transaction
The MSA provides for: (a) the sale of one share of RNWF Special 2020 Series A Preferred Stock (the “Control Share”) from Manufacturing 360, LLC to ESF for $1,000, which carries 60% voting power; (b) the simultaneous share exchange with Kepler; and (c) a consulting engagement with RH2 Equity Partners, LP. The Share Exchange Agreement contemplates the issuance of 240,000,000 shares of RNWF common stock to Kepler’s shareholders. RH2 Equity Partners will receive 1,000,000 shares of post-reverse-split common stock vesting quarterly over 36 months for extended advisory services.
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date these consolidated financial statements were issued.

10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Closing of Kepler Business Combination
On February 27, 2026, the Company completed the business combination with Kepler Fusion Technologies Inc. as described in Note 10. On that date, the Special 2020 Series A Preferred Control Share was transferred to Earth Sciences Fund I LLC, satisfying all remaining closing conditions under the Master Sales Agreement and Share Exchange Agreement. As a result, Kepler became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and Kepler’s former shareholders obtained approximately 89.7% ownership of the combined entity. The closing stock price of RNWF common stock on OTC Markets on February 27, 2026 was $0.0356.
The acquisition date for purposes of ASC 805 is February 27, 2026. Purchase price allocation will be performed prospectively from that date and will include the recognition of identifiable intangible assets and any resulting goodwill or bargain purchase gain. The purchase price allocation is expected to be completed during the measurement period permitted under ASC 805-10-25-13 through 25-19. The Company anticipates a stub-period audit or review covering the post-closing period for SEC reporting purposes in connection with its pending Form 10 filing.
No other events have occurred subsequent to December 31, 2025 that would require recognition or disclosure in the accompanying financial statements, other than as disclosed herein.

| f) | any debt, liability, or obligation of Seller or any of its affiliates or principals, whether known or unknown, fixed or contingent, secured or unsecured, including without limitation any obligations arising from or related to any Small Business Administration or other government-backed financing, credit facility, loan, guaranty, or personal guaranty. Seller acknowledges and agrees that all such indebtedness remains the sole responsibility and liability of the original obligor(s) and guarantor(s). Seller shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Buyer and its affiliates from and against any and all Losses asserted by any lender, governmental agency, or third party in connection with any such indebtedness. |
| 7.3. | Indemnification by Buyer. From and after the Closing, Buyer shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Seller and its affiliates, and its and their respective officers, managers, employees, equity holders, successors, and assigns (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Losses arising out of or resulting from: |
| a) | any breach of any representation or warranty made by Buyer in this Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant hereto; |
| b) | any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement, or obligation of Buyer in this Agreement; |

The maximum liability of either Party under this Article shall not exceed ten percent (10%) of the aggregate fair market value of the Purchase Price (the “Cap”), except for breaches of Fundamental Representations or fraud/intentional misconduct (which shall have no Cap). |
| b) | No claim for indemnification shall be brought after expiration of the applicable survival period set forth in Section 7.1, except for claims properly noticed before such expiration. |
| 7.5. | Procedures. The Party seeking indemnification shall promptly notify the indemnifying Party of any claim, demand, action, or proceeding for which indemnification is sought. The indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume and control the defense of any third-party claim, with counsel reasonably acceptable to the indemnified Party, at its expense, provided it timely acknowledges its indemnification obligations. The indemnifying Party shall advance reasonable defenses expenses to the indemnified Party upon request, subject to repayment if indemnification is not ultimately owed. The indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith but shall not be required to admit liability or settle any matter without its written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld). |
| 7.6. | Remedies Not Exclusive. The rights and remedies provided in this Section are cumulative and in addition to any other rights or remedies that may be available at Law or in equity. |
| 8. | Termination |
This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing by mutual written consent of Buyer and Seller.
It may also be terminated by either Party if the Closing has not occurred on or before December 31, 2025 (the “Outside Date”); provided, however, that the right to terminate under this clause shall not be available to any Party whose failure to fulfill any material obligation under this Agreement has been the primary cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur by such date.
Buyer may terminate this Agreement in the event of a material breach by Seller of any representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement contained herein, which breach is not cured within ten (10) days following written notice thereof.
Likewise, Seller may terminate this Agreement in the event of a material breach by Buyer of any representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement contained herein, which breach is not cured within ten (10) days following written notice thereof.
In the event of any such termination, this Agreement shall become null and void and of no further force or effect, except that the provisions of Section 7 (Indemnification), if applicable, shall survive termination. Nothing in this Section shall relieve either Party from liability for any willful breach of this Agreement occurring prior to such termination. Sections 7 (Indemnification), and Section 9 (Miscellaneous) shall survive any termination; and Section 7 shall apply to any pre-termination breaches regardless of termination cause.
| 9. | Governing Law; Dispute Resolution |
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach, termination, or validity thereof, shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules then in effect.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party may apply to the state or federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California, or New Castle County, Delaware (for entity-specific matters) for equitable relief, including injunctive relief or specific performance, to enforce the terms of this Agreement, including without limitation Sections 7.
In any such arbitration or court proceeding, the prevailing Party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs from the non-prevailing Party, in addition to any other relief to which it may be entitled.

CONSULTING SERVICES AGREEMENT
This Consulting Services Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of January 1, 2025 (the “Effective Date”), by and between Renewal Fuels, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Richard Hawkins (“Consultant”). The Company and Consultant are sometimes referred to herein individually as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.”
RECITALS
WHEREAS, Renewal Fuels, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), desires to retain Richard Hawkins (the “Consultant”) to provide strategic corporate, financial, and capital markets consulting services for the 2025 calendar year;
WHEREAS, Consultant has previously provided similar services to the Company and continues to serve as its Chief Executive Officer in an unpaid capacity;
WHEREAS, the Company acknowledges and agrees that Consultant is not acting as an employee or officer for purposes of compensation under this Agreement, and that this Agreement reflects a distinct arm’s-length consulting relationship on a 1099 basis;
WHEREAS, the Company wishes to memorialize and compensate Consultant for such services to be rendered during the 2025 calendar year under the terms set forth herein; and
WHEREAS, the parties desire to set forth the terms and conditions of such engagement in writing, including the Consultant’s right to elect conversion of unpaid fees in the event of default;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:
1. APPOINTMENT OF CONSULTANT. The Company grants to Consultant for the term of this Agreement, the authority to provide to the Company, on a non-exclusive basis, financial and corporate consulting services described herein upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
2. CONSULTANT SERVICES. Consultant, in his capacity as an independent contractor, will provide Services to the Company (the “Advisees”) during the term of this Agreement when and as reasonably requested by the Company. Said Services shall include, but not be limited to (as the need for other, not herein articulated services may, with the passage of time, be required to properly advance the Services described herein), the following:
| (a) | Advise and consult with respect to the creation of the Advisees business plan and investor presentation, deal structure, equity and debt financing, including but not limited to review and modification of the Advisees investment and presentation documents and develop new material as deemed necessary to communicate the business plan and investment potential of the Advisees; |
| (b) | Introduce concerns and advise, consult and assist with the retention of potential officers, outside directors, specialized legal counsel, investment bankers, qualified potential investors, auditors, broker dealers, trading firms, financial and/or securities analysts, investor relations and public relations and other professional service providers. |
| (c) | Provide the Advisees with non-legal aspects of conducting a private placement or registered offering of equity or debt securities while RNWF remains listed on the OTC Market as a reporting company and thereafter further assist the Advisees in raising capital in the form of equity, convertible debt or straight debt, as the case may be, introduce the Advisees to investment firms of all types, and advise the Advisees on structuring capital raises Advisees hereby specifically acknowledge that they understand the Consultant is not an attorney and is not providing legal to RNWF of the Advisees. |
| (d) | Advise and consult with the Advisees regarding any possible or proposed M&A transactions (‘Transactions”). Consultant shall be authorized, on a case by case basis, to introduce parties and prospective merger candidates to the Advisees, and to assist the Advisees to negotiate term sheets, definitive agreements, and perform and provide customary due diligence. Except for such communications as are necessary or incidental to making such introductions, Consultant shall not provide any representations regarding the Advisees without the Advisees prior written consent, and all such representations shall be provided to such candidates exclusively by the Advisees. Any agreement for a Transaction shall be subject to approval of RNWF’s Board of Directors and stockholders and satisfactory completion by the Advisees of mutual due diligence. Advisees and Consultant may negotiate terms of additional Compensation to Consultant in the case of a successful Transaction. Advisees hereby acknowledge that they understand that Consultant is not a broker/dealer nor affiliated with a broker/dealer and no compensation will be paid to Consultant in connection with sale of securities in connection with this Section2(d). |
| (e) | Advise the Advisees with strategic planning and relationships with other non-financial Companies. |
| (f) | Advise the Advisees with his personal evaluation of the performance of accounting, legal, investment banking, securities clearing, financial public relations and other U.S. securities professionals engaged by the Advisees. |
The Advisees acknowledge that Consultant will limit his role under this Agreement to that of an Consultant, and that Consultant is not, and will not become, engaged in the business of (i) effecting securities transactions for or on the account of the Advisees, (ii) providing investment Consulting services as defined in the Investment Consultants Act of 1940, or (iii) providing any tax, legal, accounting, lobbying or other services except as specifically set forth in this or any other Agreement. This is a consulting-only position and is separate from any officer role the Consultant may hold in a non-salaried capacity.
3. COMPENSATION TO CONSULTANT. As compensation for providing the services, the Advisees agree to pay Consultant a total of $50,000.00 for the 2025 calendar year (the “Consulting Fee”). This amount shall be treated as a payable obligation of the Company and shall accrue without interest through December 31, 2025. In the event of non-payment for more than thirty (30) days following written demand by Consultant, the Consulting Fee shall accrue interest at twelve percent (12%) per annum from the original due date. Consultant shall have the option, but not the obligation, to convert the unpaid Consulting Fee (together with any accrued interest) into Common Stock of the Company at a price per share equal to $0.0002, subject to a 9.99% ownership blocker, as set forth in Section 3.1 below.
| (a) | Conversion Option Upon Default. In the event of non-payment constituting a default under this Agreement, Consultant shall have the right, but not the obligation, to convert all or a portion of the unpaid Consulting Fee, together with any accrued interest and reasonable fees or costs, into the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company equal to the unpaid amount divided by $0.0002 (the “Default Conversion Shares”). Such conversion shall not exceed 9.99% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the issuance, unless otherwise waived in writing by the Company. Shares shall be issued free of restrictions to the fullest extent permitted under Rule 144 or any applicable registration rights. |
| (b) | The Consulting Compensation shall accrue without interest until December 31, 2025 (the "Maturity Date"), after which any unpaid balance shall bear interest at the rate of 12% per annum until paid in full. If the Consulting Compensation is not paid in full by the Maturity Date, such non-payment shall constitute an Event of Default. |
| (c) | Upon an Event of Default, Consultant shall have the right, but not the obligation, to convert all or any portion of the unpaid Consulting Compensation (including accrued default interest) into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion price equal to $0.0002 per share (the "Default Conversion"), subject to a 9.99% beneficial ownership cap. |
| (d) | Any shares issued pursuant to a Default Conversion shall have piggyback registration rights in the Company's next registration statement (Form S-1 or Regulation A), subject to any limitations imposed by a lead underwriter in a firmly committed offering. The Company shall furnish all documentation reasonably required to enable Consultant to deposit such shares with a FINRA-registered broker-dealer, including removing any restrictive legend after any applicable holding period. |
4. CONSULTANT’S OPINIONS, ADVICE AND CONFIDENTIALITY.
| (a) | The Company acknowledges that all financial and corporate Consulting Services (written or oral) given by Consultant to the Company in connection with Consultant’s engagement are intended solely for the benefit and use of the Company, and the Company agrees that no person or entity other than the Company shall be entitled to make use of or rely upon the advice of Consultant given specifically and exclusively to the Company pursuant to this Agreement, and no such opinion or advice shall be used in any other manner or for any other purpose, nor may the Company make any public references to Consultant, or use the Consultant’s name in any annual reports or any reports or releases of the Company, without the Consultant’s prior written consent. |
| (b) | The Consultant acknowledges that Consultant shall keep in confidence any information that the Company provides to Consultant pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Consultant shall not be required to maintain confidentiality with respect to information (i) which is or becomes part of the public domain not due to the breach of this Agreement by Consultant; (ii) of which it had independent knowledge prior to disclosure; (iii) which comes into the possession of Consultant in the normal and routine course of his own business from and through independent non-confidential sources; or (iv) which is required to be disclosed by Consultant by laws, rule or regulators. If Consultant is requested or required to disclose any information supplied to it by the Company, Consultant shall, unless prohibited by law, promptly notify the Company of such request(s) so that the Company may seek an appropriate protective order. |
5. TERM OF AGREEMENT; TERMINATION: EFFECT THEREOF. The term of this Agreement shall be for twelve months commencing on the date hereof, and shall automatically renew for successive six month periods or longer subject to mutual agreement unless terminated by either party by written notice as provided for herein 30 days prior to the end of the initial or any successive term, subject to this paragraph 5. Either party may terminate the Agreement for Cause during any term by providing the other party with 30 days written notice of termination for Cause. Cause shall be defined as either Consultant or any officer, director or control person of the Company being, subsequent to execution of this Agreement, indicted, arrested or convicted by any court of any U.S. state or The United States of America or censured, barred or otherwise formally disciplined by the SEC, FINRA or any U.S. state securities commissioner. If the Agreement is terminated for Cause by either party prior to the six-month anniversary of this Agreement, the Consultant shall retain a prorated portion of the fully earned compensation for services rendered up to the date of termination, calculated on a 365-day year. If termination for Cause occurs after the six-month anniversary, the Consultant shall retain the entire Compensation.
6. EXPENSES. Each of the parties hereto shall be solely responsible for any and all of its own and costs and expenses related to the negotiation and preparation of this Agreement.

7. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR.

EXHIBIT A
Indemnification
The Company agrees that it shall indemnify and hold harmless, Consultant, its members, managers, officers, employees, agents, affiliates and controlling persons within the meaning of Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, each as amended (any and all of whom are referred to as an "Indemnified Party"), from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses, and all actions in respect thereof (including, but not limited to, all legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by an Indemnified Party in connection with the investigation, preparation, defense or settlement of any claim, action or proceeding, whether or not resulting in any liability), incurred by an Indemnified Party with respect to, caused by, or otherwise arising out of any Indemnified Party performing the services contemplated hereunder; provided, however, the Company will not be liable, or shall not be obligated to indemnify or hold harmless, to the extent, and only to the extent, that any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense is finally judicially determined to have resulted primarily from Consultant's gross negligence or bad faith in performing such services. If any legal or regulatory action is brought against the Consultant in an official capacity, the Company shall engage a Tier 1 law firm to provide defense. The Consultant, acting in an executive or control capacity, shall also be protected from personal financial harm, cyberattacks, or physical threats arising from actions taken in the course of fulfilling such official duties.
If the indemnification provided for herein is conclusively determined (by an entry of final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of the time or denial of the right to appeal) to be unavailable or insufficient to hold any Indemnified Party harmless in respect to any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to herein, then the Company shall contribute to the amounts paid or payable by such Indemnified Party in such proportion as is appropriate and equitable under all circumstances taking into account the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and Consultant on the other, from the transaction or proposed transaction under the Agreement or, if allocation on that basis is not permitted under applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and Consultant on the other, but also the relative fault of the Company and Consultant; provided, however, in no event shall the aggregate contribution of Consultant and/or any Indemnified Party be in excess of the net compensation actually received by Consultant and/or such Indemnified Party pursuant to this Agreement.
The Company shall not settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any pending or threatened action, claim, suit or proceeding in which any Indemnified Party is or could be a party and as to which indemnification or contribution could have been sought by such Indemnified Party hereunder (whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party thereto), unless such consent or termination includes an express unconditional release of such Indemnified Party, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to such Indemnified Party, from all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses arising out of such action, claim, suit or proceeding.
In the event any Indemnified Party shall incur any expenses covered by this Exhibit A, the Company shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for such covered expenses within ten (10) business days of the Indemnified Party's delivery to the Company of an invoice therefor, with receipts attached. Such obligation of the Company to so advance funds may be conditioned upon the Company's receipt of a written undertaking from the Indemnified Party to repay such amounts within ten (10) business days after a final, non-appealable judicial determination that such Indemnified Party was not entitled to indemnification hereunder.
The foregoing indemnification and contribution provisions are not in lieu of, but in addition to, any rights which any Indemnified Party may have at common law hereunder or otherwise, and shall remain in full force and effect following the expiration or termination of Consultant's engagement and shall be binding on any successors or assigns of the Company and successors or assigns to all or substantially all of the Company's business or assets. These indemnification provisions shall survive any termination of the Agreement for a period of two (2) years.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:
1. APPOINTMENT OF CONSULTANT. The Company hereby appoints Consultant, and Consultant hereby accepts such appointment, to provide consulting and advisory services to the Company on a non-exclusive basis during the Term of this Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.
In connection with such engagement, the Company hereby appoints Consultant to serve as the Company’s Chief Legal Officer and as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors for the duration of the Term, or until earlier resignation or removal in accordance with applicable law and the Company’s governing documents.
The parties acknowledge and agree that Consultant’s service as Chief Legal Officer and as a director of the Company is undertaken in a consulting capacity and does not create an employment relationship. Consultant shall not be deemed an independent director for any purpose due to his service as an officer of the Company.
Except as expressly set forth herein, Consultant shall have no authority to bind the Company without appropriate authorization and shall perform services in coordination with the Company’s management and Board of Directors.
2. CONSULTANT SERVICES. Consultant, in his capacity as an independent contractor, will provide Services to the Company (the “Advisees”) during the term of this Agreement when and as reasonably requested by the Company. Said Services shall include, but not be limited to (as the need for other, not herein articulated services may, with the passage of time, be required to properly advance the Services described herein), the following:
| 1 |
| (a) | Advise and consult with respect to the creation of the Advisees business plan and investor presentation, deal structure, equity and debt financing, including but not limited to review and modification of the Advisees investment and presentation documents and develop new material as deemed necessary to communicate the business plan and investment potential of the Advisees; |
| (b) | Introduce concerns and advise, consult and assist with the retention of potential officers, outside directors, specialized legal counsel, investment bankers, qualified potential investors, auditors, broker dealers, trading firms, financial and/or securities analysts, investor relations and public relations and other professional service providers. |
| (c) | Provide the Advisees with aspects of conducting a private placement or registered offering of equity or debt securities while RNWF remains listed on the OTC Market as a reporting company and thereafter further assist the Advisees in raising capital in the form of equity, convertible debt or straight debt, as the case may be, introduce the Advisees to investment firms of all types, and advise the Advisees on structuring capital raises. |
| (d) | Advise and consult with the Advisees regarding any possible or proposed M&A transactions (‘Transactions”). Consultant shall be authorized, on a case by case basis, to introduce parties and prospective merger candidates to the Advisees, and to assist the Advisees to negotiate term sheets, definitive agreements, and perform and provide customary due diligence. Except for such communications as are necessary or incidental to making such introductions, Consultant shall not provide any representations regarding the Advisees without the Advisees prior written consent, and all such representations shall be provided to such candidates exclusively by the Advisees. Any agreement for a Transaction shall be subject to approval of RNWF’s Board of Directors and stockholders and satisfactory completion by the Advisees of mutual due diligence. Advisees and Consultant may negotiate terms of additional Compensation to Consultant in the case of a successful Transaction. Advisees hereby acknowledge that they understand that Consultant is not a broker/dealer nor affiliated with a broker/dealer and no compensation will be paid to Consultant in connection with sale of securities in connection with this Section2(d). |
| (e) | Advise the Advisees with strategic planning and relationships with other non-financial Companies. |
| (f) | Advise the Advisees with his personal evaluation of the performance of accounting, legal, investment banking, securities clearing, financial public relations and other U.S. securities professionals engaged by the Advisees. |
The Advisees acknowledge that Consultant will limit his role under this Agreement to that of an Consultant, and that Consultant is not, and will not become, engaged in the business of (i) effecting securities transactions for or on the account of the Advisees, (ii) providing investment Consulting services as defined in the Investment Consultants Act of 1940, or (iii) providing any tax, legal, accounting, lobbying or other services except as specifically set forth in this or any other Agreement. This is a consulting-only position and is separate from any officer role the Consultant may hold in a non-salaried capacity.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Consultant shall provide legal services to the Company in his capacity as Chief Legal Officer, including oversight of legal, regulatory, intellectual property, litigation, and corporate governance matters, and coordination with outside counsel. Consultant’s provision of legal services shall not alter his status as an independent contractor for compensation and tax purposes under this Agreement.
3. COMPENSATION TO CONSULTANT. As full and complete consideration for the consulting and advisory services to be rendered by Consultant during the Term, the Company shall issue to Consultant shares of the Company’s common stock having an aggregate fair market value of Two Hundred Forty Thousand Dollars ($240,000).
| 2 |
The number of shares to be issued shall be determined by dividing $240,000 by the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the first trading day following the completion of any Restructuring Event (the “Initial Valuation Price”), or, if no Restructuring Event occurs, the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the Effective Date. Such shares shall be issued promptly following the Effective Date pursuant to a duly authorized issuance resolution of the Board of Directors.
On the one-year anniversary of the date on which the Initial Valuation Price is determined (the “Valuation Date”), the Company shall determine the lowest closing price of the Company’s common stock during the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the Valuation Date (the “Anniversary Price”).
If the Anniversary Price is less than the Initial Valuation Price, the Company shall issue to Consultant such additional number of shares as are necessary so that the aggregate fair market value of all shares issued pursuant to this Section 3, calculated using the Anniversary Price, equals Two Hundred Forty Thousand Dollars ($240,000). This adjustment shall operate as a hard minimum value backstop and shall apply automatically without the need for further action by Consultant.
In the event the trading price of the Company’s common stock increases following the Effective Date, no reduction, clawback, or forfeiture shall apply.
All shares issued pursuant to this Agreement shall include piggyback registration rights in the Company’s next registration statement on Form S-1 or Form 1-A, subject to customary underwriter limitations, if any.
4. CONSULTANT’S OPINIONS, ADVICE AND CONFIDENTIALITY.
| (a) | The Company acknowledges that all financial and corporate Consulting Services (written or oral) given by Consultant to the Company in connection with Consultant’s engagement are intended solely for the benefit and use of the Company, and the Company agrees that no person or entity other than the Company shall be entitled to make use of or rely upon the advice of Consultant given specifically and exclusively to the Company pursuant to this Agreement, and no such opinion or advice shall be used in any other manner or for any other purpose, nor may the Company make any public references to Consultant, or use the Consultant’s name in any annual reports or any reports or releases of the Company, without the Consultant’s prior written consent. |
| (b) | The Consultant acknowledges that Consultant shall keep in confidence any information that the Company provides to Consultant pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Consultant shall not be required to maintain confidentiality with respect to information (i) which is or becomes part of the public domain not due to the breach of this Agreement by Consultant; (ii) of which it had independent knowledge prior to disclosure; (iii) which comes into the possession of Consultant in the normal and routine course of his own business from and through independent non-confidential sources; or (iv) which is required to be disclosed by Consultant by laws, rule or regulators. If Consultant is requested or required to disclose any information supplied to it by the Company, Consultant shall, unless prohibited by law, promptly notify the Company of such request(s) so that the Company may seek an appropriate protective order. |
5. TERM OF AGREEMENT; TERMINATION: EFFECT THEREOF. The term of this Agreement shall be for twelve months commencing on the date hereof, and shall automatically renew for successive six month periods or longer subject to mutual agreement unless terminated by either party by written notice as provided for herein 30 days prior to the end of the initial or any successive term, subject to this paragraph 5. Either party may terminate the Agreement for Cause during any term by providing the other party with 30 days written notice of termination for Cause.

If the Agreement is terminated for Cause by either party prior to the six-month anniversary of this Agreement, the Consultant shall retain a prorated portion of the fully earned compensation for services rendered up to the date of termination, calculated on a 365-day year. If termination for Cause occurs after the six-month anniversary, the Consultant shall retain the entire Compensation.

The Company hereby appoints Director, and Director hereby accepts such appointment, to serve as an independent member of the Company’s Board of Directors effective as of the Effective Date, subject to the Company’s Certificate of Formation, Bylaws, and applicable Texas law.
Director’s authority shall be limited to that exercised collectively through duly authorized action of the Board of Directors.

Either party may terminate the Agreement for Cause during any term by providing the other party with 30 days written notice of termination for Cause. Cause shall be defined as either Director or any officer, director or control person of the Company being, subsequent to execution of this Agreement, indicted, arrested or convicted by any court of any U.S. state or The United States of America or censured, barred or otherwise formally disciplined by the SEC, FINRA or any U.S. state securities commissioner. If the Agreement is terminated for Cause by either party prior to the six-month anniversary of this Agreement, the Director shall retain a prorated portion of the fully earned compensation for services rendered up to the date of termination, calculated on a 365-day year. If termination for Cause occurs after the six-month anniversary, the Director shall retain the entire Compensation.

The Company shall advance expenses incurred by Director in connection with any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding arising out of such Board service upon receipt of an undertaking by Director to repay such amounts if it is ultimately determined that Director is not entitled to indemnification under applicable law.
