Overview
Description of the Business
First Hydrogen Corp. (the "Company") is a publicly listed company incorporated under the Business Corporations Act of British Columbia on June 20, 2007, as "Fitch Street Capital Corp". On June 11, 2021, the Company entered into definitive agreements with AVL Powertrain UK Limited and Ballard Power Systems Inc. to assist in the design and development of a fuel-cell powered vehicle that the Company will own the commercial rights for the vehicle design. To better define the Company's zero-emission initiative, on October 7, 2021, the Company changed its name to First Hydrogen Corp. The Company's trading symbol is "FHYD" trading on the Exchange.
Advances and investment in energy and automotive development from forward-looking businesses, such as First Hydrogen, will be fuelled by zero emission targets, government incentive schemes and infrastructure investment. First Hydrogen's strategy is to target Light Commercial Vehicle (the "LCV") sector to support fleet transition to zero emission transport and to target green hydrogen production and distribution to support its LCV strategy. In addition, the Company is reviewing complimentary products as part of its hydrogen-as-a-service offering, such as mobile refueling and green hydrogen production.
As part of its long-term strategy, First Hydrogen is also advancing plans to deploy Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) to provide a reliable, carbon-free energy source for high-volume green hydrogen production, supporting energy security and deep decarbonization of transport and industrial sectors.

Company Highlights from April 1, 2024 up to July 28, 2025
Automotive
In May 2024, the Company completed its fourth trial, this time with a large multinational logistics company, whose partners use commercial vans for parcel deliveries. The Company also started initial discussions with a countrywide industrial fleet operator based in Mexico. The Mexican fleet operator is interested in updating their fleet vehicles to hydrogen-powered fuel cells and as well as deploying a countrywide hydrogen refueling station infrastructure.
In June 2024, the Company announced the expansion into European and Mexican markets. The Company is in initial discussions with a country-wide industrial fleet operator in Mexico. The industrial operator is looking to convert and add FCEVs to their fleet, along with deploying a country-wide Hydrogen Refueling Stations (HRS) infrastructure.
The Company is seeking to add left-hand drive FCEV as demonstrators for the North American, South American and European markets. The European Union (EU) strives to become the first climate-neutral continent by 2050. First Hydrogen opened an office in Germany as part of our expansion into Europe.
Unpredictability around U.S trade policy – shifting tariff proposals, implantation, timelines, and counter measures – have forced the Company, and many other companies, to pause investment decisions and advancing various projects.
Energy
Germany has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Canada to help Germany diversify its energy sources from fossil fuels and move towards more sustainable energy. Germany expects its hydrogen demand to surge from 55 terawatt hours to between 95–130 terawatt hours by 2030, highlighting the significance of this partnership for both nations' energy futures. First Hydrogen is looking to expand into Germany and Europe, to offer its Hydrogen-As-A-Service (HAAS) model.
The Company seeks to apply small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs) for deployment in Canada and Europe for green hydrogen production. This initiative is expected to enhance First Hydrogen's ability to provide a stable, scalable, and cost-effective supply of green hydrogen, supporting global efforts to decarbonize key sectors such as transportation and industry. Nuclear energy is widely recognized as a green energy source by international bodies due to its ability to produce large amounts of electricity with minimal greenhouse gas emissions.
SMRs are compact, efficient nuclear energy systems that offer a scalable and low-carbon alternative to traditional energy sources. SMRS are much smaller than large-scale traditional nuclear reactor facilities, in some cases as small as 1/10th the size of traditional nuclear. First Hydrogen seeks to install these SMRs in areas where grid power is limited or non-existent to produce hydrogen for refueling stations.
The Company and Dr. Muhammad Taha Manzoor from the University of Alberta have agreed to collaborate on advancing SMR technology focusing on fuel reactor materials, SMR design and reactor design optimization based on growth of artificial intelligence (AI) data centres, which consume up to 10 times more energy than normal data centres. One Google search uses about as much electricity as turning on a household light for 17 seconds (https://www.rwdigital.ca/blog/how-much-energy-do-google-search-and-chatgpt-use/). Asking a Generative AI model like ChatGPT a single question is equivalent to leaving that

Corporate Activities
German Office
The Company has engaged several international firms with expertise in renewable energy development, infrastructure construction, mergers and acquisitions, and fundraising to support its European expansion. First Hydrogen is in the process of establishing an office in Germany.
Private Placements
On July 9, 2024, the Company closed a private placement of convertible debentures for gross proceeds of $540,000. Each debenture unit consists of $1,000 in principal and is convertible into 1,851.85 common shares and 1,851.55 share purchase warrants, with each share purchase warrant exercisable to acquire one additional common share at an exercise of $0.80 per warrant share for a period of two years from the closing date.
Warrant – extension and repricing.
In April 2024, the Company amended the term of warrants expiring April 29, 2024 to April 29, 2025 and amended the exercise price to $1.10. The amended warrants will be subject to an accelerated expiry provision, such that, if for any 10 consecutive trading days during the unexpired term of the warrants, the closing price of the company's common shares on the TSX Venture Exchange exceeds $1.32, the exercise period of the warrants will be reduced to 30 days, starting the seven days after the last trading day above $1.32. These warrants expired unexercised.
In July 2024, the Company restructured the $2,673,800 of convertible debentures issued on November 22, 2023 by amending the conversion price of these convertible debentures. Prior to the debenture amendment, the debentures were convertible into common shares of the Company at a price of $1.45 per debenture unit. Each debenture unit consists of one common share in the capital of the Company and one additional share purchase warrant exercisable at $3.00.
The amended conversion price is now $0.54 per debenture. In connection with the debenture amendment, there will be no share purchase warrants issued upon conversion of the debenture.
Debenture interest

Marketing Activities
The Company entered into an agreement for marketing services with Apaton Finance GmbH ("Apaton"). The marketing services included educational articles, market monitoring, and the dissemination of news related to the Company. The engagement began in July 2023 and is continuing on a month-to-month basis.
In May 2024, the Company engaged Martin City Studios LLC to produce two audio interviews (completed) with the Company and Ellis Martin. The interviews have been aired on Money Talk Radio and the Ellis Martin Report. Martin City Studios was paid US$6,500.

Form 51-102F1
The Company's net loss for the year ended March 31, 2025, has decreased by $5,843,053 compared to 2024. This reduction is mainly attributed to decreases of: 1) $2,671,400 in salaries through the reduction of UK staff, 2) $880,057 in research and development costs as the Company completed the two demonstrator vehicles, and 3) $2,265,883 in advertising and marketing costs. Cost reductions were offset by legal fees relating to employment reductions, financing costs and interest expenses due the outstanding debentures. The Company does not expect any Research and Development Tax Credits for 2025 (2024 - $322,172).
Advertising and marketing expenses, including costs for website hosting, dissemination of news releases, translation, and marketing services, were lower due to a reduction in spending. Consulting and management fees decreased quarter over quarter on projects for Quebec and North America projects.
Management and consulting expenses for the years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, include amounts incurred for the CEO and CFO of the company (see Related Party Transactions for amounts), administrative support, and directors' fees, were lower as certain projects came to an end compared to the same period in 2024.
Expenses for year include the cost of vehicle trials with a large multi-national logistics company which used the FCEV for its parcel deliveries in London, UK, reduced salaries in the UK office as development of a demonstrator vehicle was completed and positioned the company for future expansion (FCEV vehicles, refueling and hydrogen production via small nuclear reactors) in Europe.

placement for gross proceeds of $4,032,720 and received $2,553,175 from the exercise of share purchase warrants. The Company paid $450,277 in cash commission in relation to the non-brokered private placement and exercise of share purchase warrants.
The Company is dependent on additional funds raised thru the issuance of shares and debt to commercialize our hydrogen ecosystem, which includes hydrogen-fuel-cell-powered vehicles, refueling, and green hydrogen production. Immediate and longer-term funding is needed to advance our North American and European programs including constructing additional FCEVs, developing refueling and green hydrogen, further our SMR investment and to meet general and administrative expenses. No assurance can be given that any such funding will be available or that, if available, it can be obtained on terms favorable to the Company. The inability to raise adequate funds would affect our ability to continue as a going concern.
