MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Executive Overview
HyOrc Corporation is an integrated clean energy infrastructure and technology company focused on the commercialization of proprietary waste-to-energy, renewable methanol, distributed power generation and industrial decarbonization technologies. The Company's strategy is to convert low-value waste streams into high-value clean energy products through proprietary gasification, syngas conditioning and power generation technologies, while creating multiple long-term revenue streams from equipment sales, engineering services, licensing, project development and renewable fuel production.
During the three months ended June 30, 2026, the Company continued its transition from technology development and validation toward commercial deployment. Management's primary focus during the quarter was the execution of its first commercial renewable methanol facility in Porto, Portugal, continued engineering and fabrication activities, expansion of strategic commercial relationships, strengthening of the Company's capital resources, and maintenance of its regulatory and public company reporting obligations.
The Company also continued advancing a number of strategic commercial initiatives during the quarter, including:
| ● | The Porto renewable methanol project | |
| ● | The Bulgaria waste-to-methanol project | |
| ● | Project Phoenix for rail decarbonization | |
| ● | Distributed power generation opportunities in the United Kingdom | |
| ● | Additional industrial decarbonization projects |
Management believes these initiatives provide multiple pathways toward future recurring revenues while reducing dependence on any single project or market. Board discussions throughout the quarter reflected continued progress across these initiatives, including fabrication activities, financing, strategic partnerships and commercialization planning.
A significant milestone during the quarter was the continued fabrication of the Company's modular waste-to-methanol system intended for deployment in Porto, Portugal. The system is designed to process approximately three tonnes per day of Refuse Derived Fuel ("RDF") into up to one tonne per day of renewable methanol and is expected to serve as the Company's first commercial reference facility. Management believes successful deployment of this system will provide an important commercial reference for future larger-scale projects, including the proposed 35 tonne per day RDF to approximately 8 tonne per day renewable methanol facility currently being developed in Portugal.
The Company also continued to strengthen its position within the renewable methanol and clean energy sectors through increased third-party industry recognition and technology validation. During the quarter, HyOrc was featured within the Dow Jones OPIS Global Methanol Report, while continuing to advance independent validation activities and industry engagement intended to support future commercial deployment and institutional financing initiatives. Management believes that continued independent technical validation and industry recognition are important components in reducing commercialization risk and supporting customer, partner and investor confidence.
From a financing perspective, the Company completed a $135,000 aggregate principal amount convertible note financing during the quarter to support ongoing engineering, fabrication and commercialization activities. While the Company remains in the pre-commercial deployment phase and continues to invest in long-term growth initiatives, management believes maintaining adequate liquidity remains essential to executing its commercialization strategy. Subsequent to quarter end, the Company's liquidity position improved materially through additional equity financing, expanded financing facilities and significant non-dilutive grant funding, further strengthening management's ability to execute its near-term commercial objectives.
Management believes that the Company has now entered a materially different stage of its development. Historically, capital resources were directed primarily toward technology development, engineering, intellectual property and independent validation. During 2026, the Company's emphasis has shifted toward fabrication, deployment, commercialization and execution of revenue-generating infrastructure projects. This transition has been supported by continued access to capital, increasing industry recognition, strategic commercial relationships and progress toward commercial-scale project deployment.
Although the Company has not yet achieved sustained commercial revenues, management believes that the progress made during the quarter and subsequent events have substantially advanced HyOrc's commercialization strategy. The Company remains focused on completing deployment of its first commercial renewable methanol system, converting strategic opportunities into long-term contracts, expanding project financing initiatives and continuing to build an institutional-quality public company capable of supporting future growth, including management's objective of pursuing a listing on a national securities exchange when appropriate.
Business Overview
HyOrc Corporation is an integrated clean energy infrastructure and technology company focused on developing, owning and commercializing proprietary technologies that convert low-value waste and industrial heat into renewable fuels and clean energy. The Company is building a portfolio of technologies and infrastructure projects designed to address global demand for decarbonization, renewable fuels, distributed power generation and industrial energy efficiency.
The Company's principal technology platform is based upon the conversion of Refuse Derived Fuel ("RDF") and other sustainable feedstocks into synthesis gas, which can subsequently be processed into renewable methanol, hydrogen and other valuable energy products. In parallel, the Company continues to develop proprietary Organic Rankine Cycle ("ORC") power generation systems capable of converting waste heat and external combustion sources into electricity for stationary power generation, transportation and industrial applications.
Management's strategy is to establish HyOrc as both a technology provider and an infrastructure developer. Rather than relying upon a single revenue source, the Company intends to generate revenues through a combination of equipment sales, engineering and project development services, technology licensing, recurring service agreements, distributed power generation projects, renewable methanol production and participation in long-term infrastructure developments.
The Company believes that renewable methanol represents one of the most significant long-term opportunities within the global energy transition. Increasing demand for low-carbon marine fuels, sustainable industrial feedstocks and renewable chemical products is being driven by tightening environmental regulations, decarbonization initiatives and growing customer demand for commercially viable alternatives to conventional fossil fuels. Management believes that the Company's proprietary approach of utilizing Refuse Derived Fuel as its primary feedstock offers a significant commercial advantage by combining relatively low-cost feedstock with the potential to generate renewable fuels while simultaneously diverting waste from landfill.
During the quarter, management continued to prioritize development of its first commercial renewable methanol reference facility in Porto, Portugal. This modular facility is designed to process approximately three tonnes per day of RDF into up to one tonne per day of renewable methanol and is intended to demonstrate the commercial performance of the Company's integrated technology platform under continuous operating conditions. Successful deployment is expected to support future commercial expansion into larger-scale facilities, including the proposed 35 tonne per day RDF to approximately 8 tonne per day renewable methanol project currently under development in Portugal.
In addition to renewable methanol, the Company continues to pursue opportunities in distributed power generation, industrial waste heat recovery, rail decarbonization and other energy infrastructure sectors. During the quarter, management advanced discussions relating to Project Phoenix, the Company's diesel-to-gas powered locomotive initiative, continued development of distributed power generation opportunities in the United Kingdom, progressed engineering work associated with the Bulgaria waste-to-methanol project, and expanded commercial engagement with strategic partners across Europe. These initiatives reflect management's strategy of applying the Company's core technology platform across multiple industrial sectors while diversifying future revenue opportunities.
The Company also continued to strengthen its competitive position through independent technical validation, strategic partnerships and increased industry visibility. Management believes that third-party validation, regulatory compliance and demonstration of commercial performance are essential to reducing technology adoption risk and supporting future customer acquisition, project financing and institutional investment.
As of June 30, 2026, the Company remained in the commercial deployment phase of its business. Although significant investment continues to be directed toward engineering, fabrication, regulatory compliance and commercialization activities, management believes that HyOrc has progressed beyond the technology development stage and is now focused on executing commercial projects capable of generating long-term recurring revenues. The Company's strategy is to leverage its proprietary intellectual property, growing portfolio of strategic relationships and expanding access to capital to support scalable deployment of its technologies across multiple international markets.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended June 30, 2026 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2025
The Company remains in the commercial deployment phase of its development. As a result, operating results for the quarter continue to reflect investment in engineering, commercialization, regulatory compliance and corporate infrastructure rather than mature operating revenues. Management expects the Company's financial performance to evolve as commercial projects enter operation and begin generating recurring revenues.
Revenues
Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was $24,000, compared with $0 for the comparable period in 2025.
The revenue recognized during the quarter primarily represented commission income earned under historical commercial arrangements with Vaigunth EnerTek. Prior to the establishment of HyOrc India Private Limited, EnerTek marketed and supplied equipment incorporating HyOrc's proprietary technology within India, with HyOrc earning commissions on qualifying equipment sales.
Management expects future commercial activity within India to transition progressively to HyOrc India Private Limited, providing the Company with greater operational control over future projects, customer relationships and revenue generation.
While current revenues remain modest, management believes they are not indicative of the Company's longer-term revenue potential. The Company's principal commercial focus remains deployment of renewable methanol production facilities, distributed power generation projects, technology licensing and engineering services, all of which are expected to become more significant contributors to revenue as projects move into commercial operation.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses during the quarter primarily consisted of:

| ● | fabrication and commercialization activities; | |
| ● | legal and professional fees; | |
| ● | accounting, audit and SEC reporting costs; | |
| ● | corporate governance and public company compliance expenses; | |
| ● | business development and strategic partnership activities; and | |
| ● | general administrative expenses. |
Operating expenses continued to reflect management's strategy of investing in the infrastructure necessary to transition the Company from technology development to commercial deployment.
Operating expenses for the quarter also included approximately $234,319 of non-cash director and consultant compensation, settled through the issuance of common stock rather than cash.
As an OTCQB reporting company preparing for continued institutional growth, the Company has experienced increased professional costs associated with SEC reporting, PCAOB audit requirements, legal compliance, corporate governance, investor communications and commercialization activities. Management believes these expenditures are necessary to support the Company's long-term strategic objectives, including continued access to institutional capital markets and the Company's objective of pursuing a future national securities exchange listing.
Research, Engineering and Commercialization
During the quarter, the Company continued investing in engineering and fabrication activities associated with its renewable methanol platform.
A significant portion of these activities related to fabrication of the Company's first commercial modular waste-to-methanol facility for deployment in Porto, Portugal. This project represents an important transition from technology validation toward commercial execution and is expected to provide the Company's first commercial reference installation.
The Company also continued investing in engineering support for Project Phoenix, distributed power generation opportunities, industrial decarbonization projects and further development of its proprietary technology platform. Board updates throughout the quarter reflected continued progress across these initiatives, including Porto fabrication, Platform Energy, GB Railfreight and the Bulgaria project.
Net Loss
The Company reported a net loss for the quarter as management continued to invest in engineering, commercialization, project execution and public company infrastructure.
Management believes the current level of expenditure reflects the Company's stage of development and is consistent with its strategy of establishing long-term revenue-generating infrastructure rather than maximizing short-term profitability.
The Company expects operating expenses to remain elevated during the commercial deployment phase as additional engineering, manufacturing, certification, regulatory, financing and project execution activities are undertaken. However, management anticipates that successful deployment of commercial projects will progressively shift the Company's financial profile from development-related expenditures toward recurring operating revenues.
A significant portion of the net loss for the quarter relates to non-cash charges associated with the accounting for the Company's convertible notes, including derivative fair value re-measurement, rather than cash operating expenditures. See Note 10 to the financial statements for further discussion.
Management's Perspective
Management believes that traditional quarterly financial metrics alone do not fully reflect the progress achieved during the period. The Company's principal objective during the quarter was not short-term earnings generation, but rather execution of key commercial milestones intended to establish the foundation for future recurring revenues.
These milestones included continued fabrication of the Porto commercial facility, advancement of multiple strategic infrastructure projects, expansion of commercial relationships, strengthening of the Company's financing position and continued enhancement of its visibility within the renewable methanol and clean energy sectors. Management believes these activities significantly advanced the Company's transition from a technology development business toward a commercially focused clean energy infrastructure company.
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
Management evaluates the Company's progress using a combination of financial and operational performance indicators. Given that HyOrc remains in the commercial deployment phase of its business, management believes operational milestones currently provide a more meaningful measure of performance than short-term financial results alone.
The principal performance indicators monitored by management include:
Commercial Project Execution
Management measures progress based on the advancement of commercial projects from engineering and validation through fabrication, deployment and commercial operation.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
At June 30, 2026, HyOrc remained in the commercial deployment phase of its business. Management's primary use of capital continues to be the funding of engineering, fabrication, project development, regulatory compliance, commercialization activities and general corporate operations.
Historically, the Company has financed its operations through a combination of equity issuances, convertible debt, strategic investment and limited operating revenues. Management's objective is to progressively transition from reliance on corporate financing toward project-level financing and recurring cash flows generated by commercial operations.
Management does not currently anticipate utilizing corporate equity financing as the primary source of capital for construction of commercial renewable methanol facilities where project-level financing or non-dilutive funding is available.
Cash Flows and Working Capital
The Company's cash resources at June 30, 2026 reflected its continued investment in commercial deployment activities. During the quarter, available capital was principally directed toward engineering, manufacturing, project execution, public company compliance, intellectual property protection, regulatory activities and business development.
Management continuously evaluates the Company's working capital requirements and seeks to maintain sufficient liquidity to support ongoing operations while advancing commercial deployment of its technology platform.
Although the Company continues to report operating losses, management believes these losses primarily reflect investment in future revenue-generating infrastructure rather than mature operating activities.
Going Concern
The Company's recurring losses and reliance on additional financing raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management believes it can meet its obligations through continued capital raising and project-level financing; however, no assurance can be given. See Note 2 to the financial statements for further discussion.
Financing Activities
During the quarter, the Company completed a financing with Monroe Street Capital and Lambda Ventures consisting of an aggregate principal amount of $135,000 under a convertible promissory note.
Net proceeds received by the Company totaled approximately $117,980, with the difference representing the original issue discount together with financing costs and other amounts withheld at closing pursuant to the financing agreements.
Management believes the financing provided important working capital to continue engineering, fabrication and commercialization activities associated with the Company's renewable methanol platform, including the Porto project. The commitment shares associated with the financing remained reserved and had not been issued as of June 30, 2026.
GS Capital Convertible Note
In March 2026, the Company entered into a $150,000 convertible promissory note with GS Capital Partners LLC. Because the note's conversion feature varies based on the Company's stock price, it is accounted for as a derivative liability that is re-measured at fair value each reporting period.
This re-measurement, together with related non-cash charges recognized upon issuance, is reflected in the Company's results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2026. See Note 10 to the financial statements for further discussion.
Capital Allocation
Management continues to allocate capital toward activities expected to accelerate commercialization and enhance long-term shareholder value.

Management believes the Company's liquidity position has improved significantly since June 30, 2026. The combination of additional equity capital, expanded financing facilities and substantial non-dilutive grant funding has strengthened the Company's ability to execute its near-term commercialization strategy.
The Company's long-term objective is to reduce reliance on parent company financing by transitioning individual commercial projects toward project-level financing supported by contracted revenues, strategic infrastructure investors and non-dilutive government funding. Management believes this approach will enable the Company to pursue scalable growth while seeking to minimize shareholder dilution over time.
Funding Strategy
Management's objective is to finance the Company's growth through a balanced combination of corporate capital, project-specific financing, strategic partnerships and non-dilutive funding. As the Company transitions from technology development to commercial deployment, management intends to reduce reliance on traditional corporate equity financing by matching the source of capital with the nature of each investment.
Corporate Capital
Corporate capital is primarily intended to fund activities that support the overall growth and governance of the Company. These include engineering and technology development, intellectual property, public company reporting and compliance, business development, corporate administration, and working capital. Management expects these activities to continue to be financed through a combination of operating cash flows, strategic equity investments and corporate financing facilities.
Project-Level Financing
Management intends that larger commercial facilities will, where practical, be financed at the project level rather than solely through the parent company. This approach allows individual projects to be funded based on their own contractual revenues, underlying assets and commercial economics, thereby reducing the funding burden on HyOrc Corporation while improving capital efficiency.
Project-level financing may include equipment financing, construction financing, infrastructure debt, strategic co-investment and other forms of non-recourse or limited-recourse financing.

The Company actively pursues government grants and other non-dilutive funding programs that support clean energy, renewable fuels and industrial decarbonization.
Management believes that grant funding can materially reduce project development costs, accelerate commercialization and improve overall project economics without increasing shareholder dilution. The approval of approximately €6.7 million under the European Strategic Technologies for Europe Platform ("STEP") program for the Company's Portuguese commercial methanol project demonstrates management's strategy of leveraging public-sector funding alongside private capital to accelerate infrastructure deployment.
The Company continues to evaluate additional grant program and public funding opportunities across the jurisdictions in which it operates.
Strategic Capital and Institutional Partnerships
Management continues to engage with strategic investors, infrastructure funds, commercial lenders and industrial partners that can provide not only financial resources but also technical expertise, market access and long-term commercial relationships.
Management believes that aligning with experienced strategic partners can accelerate project execution, improve access to project financing and reduce overall commercialization risk.
Capital Allocation Strategy
Management intends to align each source of capital with its intended purpose. Corporate financing facilities (including equity issuances, convertible securities and the Company's Equity Line of Credit) are expected to be used primarily to support HyOrc Corporation's corporate activities, including:
| ● | Working capital | |
| ● | Engineering | |
| ● | Intellectual property development | |
| ● | Public company compliance | |
| ● | Business development | |
| ● | Strategic acquisitions | |
| ● | The Company's long-term objective of qualifying for a national securities exchange listing |
By contrast, management intends that the construction and expansion of commercial renewable methanol facilities and other infrastructure assets will, wherever practical, be financed through project-level capital sources, including:
| ● | Non-dilutive government grants | |
| ● | Equipment finance | |
| ● | Infrastructure investment funds |
| ● | Commercial lenders | |
| ● | Strategic partners | |
| ● | Project-specific financing |
Management believes this approach aligns the source of capital with the underlying assets being financed, reduces reliance on parent-company equity dilution, improves capital efficiency and supports long-term shareholder value.

Increasing regulatory support for low-carbon fuels, growing demand for energy security, and the need for commercially scalable decarbonization solutions are driving investment across the renewable fuels, distributed power generation and industrial decarbonization sectors.
Although these market trends create substantial commercial opportunities, the Company recognizes that successful commercialization remains dependent upon technology performance, customer adoption, financing availability, regulatory approvals and execution of commercial projects.
Renewable Methanol
Renewable methanol has emerged as one of the principal alternative fuels being considered for the decarbonization of the global maritime, industrial and chemical sectors.
Demand for renewable methanol continues to be supported by tightening environmental regulations, the adoption of lower-carbon fuel standards and increasing investment by shipping companies, industrial manufacturers and fuel suppliers seeking practical alternatives to conventional fossil fuels.
Management believes renewable methanol offers several advantages over certain alternative fuels because it can be transported, stored and handled using much of the existing global liquid fuel infrastructure while also serving as both a transportation fuel and a chemical feedstock.
Waste as a Strategic Feedstock
Management believes that one of the principal constraints facing the renewable methanol industry is the availability of sustainable feedstocks capable of supporting large-scale production.
Many renewable methanol projects rely upon biomass, renewable electricity or other feedstocks that may become increasingly constrained as demand grows across multiple industries.
HyOrc's commercial strategy is based upon the utilization of Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF), a widely available waste-derived feedstock that management believes offers both environmental and commercial advantages. In addition to supporting renewable fuel production, RDF utilization may contribute to landfill diversion and improved waste management while providing a comparatively stable feedstock for commercial operations.
Management believes that access to abundant waste-derived feedstocks represents an important differentiating factor in the Company's long-term commercialization strategy.
Industrial Decarbonization
Industrial operators continue to face increasing pressure to reduce carbon emissions while maintaining reliable and cost-effective operations.
Management believes technologies capable of recovering waste heat, improving thermal efficiency and producing renewable fuels have the potential to assist industrial customers in meeting evolving environmental objectives without requiring complete replacement of existing industrial infrastructure.
The Company's externally fired Organic Rankine Cycle technology and renewable methanol platform are intended to address this market by providing practical solutions that can be integrated into a range of industrial applications.
Distributed Power Generation
Demand for distributed power generation continues to increase as industrial facilities, critical infrastructure and data centers seek reliable, resilient and lower-carbon energy supplies.
Management believes increasing electricity demand, coupled with constraints on conventional generation capacity and transmission infrastructure, is creating opportunities for modular distributed power systems capable of utilizing renewable fuels and waste-derived energy sources.
The Company continues to evaluate opportunities where its proprietary technologies may be deployed to support industrial facilities, energy infrastructure and other applications requiring continuous, decentralized power generation.
Infrastructure Investment
Governments and private investors continue to allocate substantial capital toward clean energy infrastructure, renewable fuels and industrial decarbonization projects.
In addition to traditional project finance, management believes public funding program, infrastructure funds and strategic industrial investors will continue to play an increasingly important role in accelerating deployment of commercially viable clean energy technologies.
Management believes the Company's strategy of combining private investment with project financing and non-dilutive government funding is well aligned with these broader infrastructure investment trends.
Regulatory Environment
Environmental regulations, carbon reduction initiatives and renewable fuel policies continue to evolve across many of the markets in which the Company operates.
Management believes that increasing regulatory support for renewable fuels, circular economy initiatives and waste diversion program may provide additional opportunities for commercialization of the Company's technologies. However, management also recognizes that regulatory frameworks continue to evolve and may vary significantly between jurisdictions.
Management's Perspective
Management believes that the convergence of increasing renewable methanol demand, greater emphasis on circular economy solutions, continued investment in clean energy infrastructure and growing interest in distributed power generation provides a favorable long-term environment for commercialization of the Company's technology platform.
The Company intends to continue focusing on projects where proprietary technology, strategic partnerships, project-level financing and independent technical validation can be combined to support commercially sustainable infrastructure developments.
While these industry trends provide a supportive backdrop, management remains focused on disciplined execution, prudent capital allocation and the successful deployment of commercial reference projects as the primary drivers of long-term shareholder value.
Subsequent Events
Subsequent to June 30, 2026, the Company continued to execute its commercialization strategy through additional financing activities, strategic project development and commercial partnerships.
