Operating and Financial Review and Prospects**\n\n \n\n*Forward-Looking Statements*\n\n \n\nStatements in this report, or any document filed by Genoil with the different governing authorities, by or on behalf of it, to the extent not directly and exclusively based on historical events, constitute “forward-looking statements”. These statements represent the Corporation's intentions, plans, expectations, and beliefs, and no assurance can be given that the results described in such statements will be achieved.\n\n \n\nForward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements evaluating market and general economic conditions in the following sections, and statements regarding future-oriented revenues, costs and expenditures. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect management's analysis only as of the date of this document. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially. Such risks and uncertainties with respect to the Corporation include the effects of general economic conditions, changing foreign exchange rates and actions by government authorities, uncertainties associated with legal proceedings and negotiations, industry supply levels, competitive pricing pressures and misjudgements in the course of preparing forward-looking statements.\n\n \n\nGenoil disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.\n\n \n\nA. *Operating results*\n\n \n\n*Overview***\n\n \n\nGenoil's financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), audited in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), and are presented in US dollars unless otherwise indicated.\n\n \n\nGenoil is actively involved in the marketing, development and commercial applications of its proprietary technologies.\n\n \n\nTo December 31, 2025, the Corporation has incurred significant operating losses.

While the Corporation is expending its best efforts to achieve the above plans, there is no assurance that any such activity will generate sufficient funds for operations.\n\n \n\n \n\n11\n\n*Table of Contents*\n\n \n\n*Acquisition*\n\n \n\nNo recent acquisitions.\n\n \n\nB. *Liquidity and Capital Resources*\n\n \n\nGenoil’s business is capital intensive, requiring cash infusions on a regular basis as it seeks to grow its business.

By their nature, judgments, estimates and assumptions are subject to measurement uncertainty and changes in such judgments, estimates and assumptions in future periods could result in a material change in future financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates.\n\nJudgment is used in situations where there is a choice or assessment required by management. Estimates and underlying assumptions are required on an ongoing basis and revisions are recognized in the year in which such estimates are revised.\n\n \n\nG. *Safe Harbour.*\n\n \n\nNot applicable.\n\n \n\n \n\n13\n\n*Table of Contents*"}
