PART III – NARRATIVE

 

State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-CEN, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

 

The Registrant is unable to file its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the “Form 20-F”) because of unanticipated delays in the completion of its financial statements and related portions of the Form 20-F. These delays primarily related to accounting complexities from the consolidation of the operations of Quality Industrial Corp. for the period of the year ended December 31, 2024 following the transaction reported in the Reports on Form 6-K furnished by the Registrant to the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 20, 2024 and November 27, 2024, respectively. These delays could not be eliminated by the Registrant without unreasonable effort and expense. In accordance with Rule 12b-25 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Registrant anticipates filing the Form 20-F no later than fifteen calendar days following the prescribed due date.

 

PART IV – OTHER INFORMATION

 

(1)Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this notification

 

  John-Paul Backwell   (353)   1 961 9350
  (Name)   (Area Code)   (Telephone Number)

 

(2)Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If answer is no, identify report(s). Yes No

 

(3)Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof? Yes No

 

If so: attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.

 

The Registrant anticipates that the financial statements to be included in the subject report will reflect revenues of approximately €1.6 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, a decrease of approximately €2.5 million, or 61%, from approximately €4.1 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. This anticipated change is expected to be primarily due to the discontinuation of operations of the Registrant’s subsidiary Fusion Fuel Portugal, S.A. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Legacy Hydrogen Entities”) as a result of lack of sufficient capital during 2024 and the relatively insubstantial contribution to consolidated operations for 2024 from the Registrant’s indirect interest in the liquified petroleum gas (“LPG”) distribution operations of Al Shola Al Modea Gas Distribution LLC (“Al Shola Gas”) due to its consolidation from only November 26, 2024 to December 31, 2024.

 

The Registrant anticipates that the financial statements to be included in the subject report will reflect cost of sales of approximately €1.2 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, a decrease of approximately €2.8 million, or 71%, from approximately €4.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. It is expected that the decrease was primarily due to the discontinuation of operations of the Legacy Hydrogen Entities as a result of lack of sufficient capital during 2024 and the relatively insubstantial contribution to consolidated operations for 2024 from Al Shola Gas’s LPG distribution operations due to its consolidation from only November 26, 2024 to December 31, 2024.

The Registrant anticipates that the financial statements to be included in the subject report will reflect administration expenses of approximately €15.8 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, an immaterial increase from approximately €15.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. In 2024, administration expenses included an impairment on inventory of €2.2 million in relation to the Legacy Hydrogen Entities. It is expected that the decrease in administration expenses was primarily due to the discontinuation of operations of the Legacy Hydrogen Entities as a result of lack of sufficient capital during 2024 and the relatively insubstantial contribution to consolidated operations for 2024 from Al Shola Gas’s LPG distribution operations due to its consolidation from only November 26, 2024 to December 31, 2024.

 

The Registrant anticipates that the financial statements to be included in the subject report will reflect share-based payment (expense)/credit of approximately €2.1 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, an increase of approximately €0.8 million, or 57%, from approximately €1.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, which the Registrant expects to be due primarily to an increase in the number of options vested during the year.

 

During 2023, the Registrant incurred impairment charges relating to property, plant and equipment. The impairment charges primarily related to assets under construction and plant and machinery. The Registrant anticipates that the financial statements to be included in the subject report will reflect that no such impairment charges on property, plant and equipment occurred in 2024, and that the amount of property, plant and equipment on the Registrant’s balance sheet to be included in the subject report will reflect a decrease of approximately 95% in comparison with the prior year, due to the deconsolidation of the Legacy Hydrogen Entities.

 

The Registrant anticipates that the financial statements to be included in the subject report will reflect net finance income of approximately €0.3 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, a decrease of approximately €6.1 million, or 95%, from approximately €6.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, which the Registrant expects to be due primarily to the decrease in the prevailing market price for the Registrant’s public warrants as reported by The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC during the period.
