Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with US 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 and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the fair value of stock-based compensation, valuation and recoverability of long-lived assets and intangible assets subject to impairment testing, and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2024.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue upon satisfying its promises to transfer goods or services to customers under the terms of its contracts. Nearly all of these promises, referred to as performance obligations, consist of the transfer of physical goods, including recycled ferrous and nonferrous metals and black mass to customers. These performance obligations are satisfied at the point in time the Company transfers control of the goods to the customer, which in nearly all cases is when title to and risk of loss of the goods transfer to the customer. The timing of transfer of title and risk of loss is dictated by customary or explicitly stated contract terms. The majority of the Company’s sales involve transfer of control to the customer, and thus revenue recognition, before delivery to the customer’s destination; for example, upon release of the goods to the shipper. The Company’s bill-and-hold arrangements involve transfer of control to the customer when the goods have been segregated from other inventory at the Company’s facility and are ready for physical transfer to the customer. Shipping and handling activities that occur after a customer has obtained control of a good are accounted for as fulfillment costs rather than an additional promise in a contract. As such, shipping and handling consideration (freight revenue) is recognized when control of the goods transfers to the customer, and freight expense is accrued to cost of goods sold when the related revenue is recognized.

The Company recognizes revenue based on contractually stated selling prices and quantities shipped, net of sales tax, and adjusted for estimated claims and discounts. Claims are customary in the recycled metal industry and arise from variances in the quantity or quality of delivered products. Revenue adjustments may be required if the settlement of claims exceeds original estimates. For the nine months ended March 31, 2025, revenue adjustments related to performance obligations that were satisfied in previous periods were not material.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold during the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $3.7 million, well above the value of the related revenue. The high cost of goods sold is related to the in-service date and depreciation of the recycling facility fixed assets, which is time based, and the finalization of the production process. We expect these costs to continue to rise but will be reduced as a percentage of revenue as we scale our production and gain efficiencies in the process.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is an exit price concept that assumes an orderly transaction between willing market participants and is required to be based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. Current accounting guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy as a basis for considering such assumptions and for classifying the inputs used in the valuation methodologies. This hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair values are as follows:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the reporting entity can assess at the measurement date.

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability which include the Company’s assumptions regarding the data market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available under the circumstances.

The carrying values of the Company’s cash, accounts receivable, grants receivable, prepaid expenses and deposits, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and notes payable, approximate fair value due to their short maturities.

The Company’s fair value measurements included the valuation of the derivative liabilities for the bifurcated notes payable freestanding call and conversion options and for the liability-classified equity-linked contracts, both of which are classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. As of December 31, 2024, the Company reclassified derivative liabilities and liability-classified equity-linked contracts from long-term liabilities to equity. No derivative instruments were issued during the three months ended March 31, 2025; accordingly, fair value measurement was not required. See Notes 6 and 11 for further discussion.

The Company’s non-recurring fair value measurements include the valuation of the assets held-for-sale as of March 31, 2025. See Note 7 for relevant fair value disclosures.

Adoption of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Adoption of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company continually assesses new accounting pronouncements to determine their applicability. When it is determined a new accounting pronouncement affects the Company’s financial reporting, the Company undertakes a review to determine the consequences of the change to its consolidated financial statements and assures there are sufficient controls in place to ascertain the Company’s consolidated financial statements properly reflect the change.

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (Topic 280). This ASU updates reportable segment disclosure requirements by requiring disclosures of significant reportable segment expenses that are regularly provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) and included within each reported measure of a segment’s profit or loss. This ASU also requires disclosure of the title and position of the individual identified as the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measures of a segment’s profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. The Company is in process of determining the effect this ASU will have on the disclosures contained in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”, which updates income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. This ASU also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company is in the process of determining the effect this ASU will have on the disclosures contained in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB Issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses.” The amendments in this update require disclosures, in the notes to financial statements, of specified information about certain costs and expenses. The amendment clarifies which certain costs and expenses that are included in cost of sales and selling, general, and administrative expense categories that should be disclosed with qualitative descriptions of amounts that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively. Additionally, the amendment requires disclosure of total amounts of selling expenses and an entity’s definition of selling expense. The update will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01 to clarify the effective date previously communicated. The revised effective date for public business entities is for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of determining the effect this ASU will have on the disclosures contained in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
