PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF JUNE 30, 2024

(UNAUDITED)

On October 31, 2024, Titan Environmental Solutions Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), entered into the Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of October 31, 2024 (the “Purchase Agreement”) among the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Recoup Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Recoup”), and Recoup Partners, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Purchaser”), and consummated the transactions contemplated by Purchase Agreement, including the sale of Recoup to the Purchaser. Recoup is in the business of marketing an aerobic digestion technology solution for the disposal of food waste at the point of generation.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser purchased from the Company all of the capital stock of Recoup for a purchase price equal to $1,000,000, which consisted of a promissory note of the Purchaser in the principal amount of $250,000 and the cancellation and release by certain affiliates of the Purchaser of indebtedness of the Company in the aggregate amount of $750,000. The Purchase Agreement contained standard representations and warranties by the Company and Recoup that, except for fundamental representations, remain in effect for 18 months following the closing date. The Company also agreed that, for a period of five years from closing date, the Company will not engage in a business that competes with the business of Recoup.

The sale of Recoup was accounted for as a business disposal. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2023 and for the six months ended June 30, 2024 is based on the historical consolidated financial statements of the Company.

The transaction accounting adjustments consist of those necessary to account for the sale of Recoup. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of financial position as of June 30, 2024 gives effect to the Purchase Agreement as if the transaction had occurred on June 30, 2024, and includes all adjustments necessary to reflect the application of disposal accounting for the sale of Recoup. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023 and the six months ended June 30, 2024, give effect to the Purchase Agreement as if the transaction had occurred on January 1, 2023 and includes all adjustments necessary to reflect the sale of Recoup.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not give effect to any cost savings, operating synergies or revenue synergies that may result from the disposition of Recoup or the costs to achieve any synergies.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are presented for informational purposes only, in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, and are not intended to represent or to be indicative of the income or financial position that the Company would have been reported had the sale of recoup been completed as of the dates set forth in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements due to various factors. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of financial position does not purport to represent the future financial position of the Company and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations do not purport to represent the future results of operations of the Company.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements reflect management’s estimates of the fair values of tangible and intangible assets and liabilities disposed of in the sale of Recoup. Since these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been prepared based on preliminary estimates of the fair values of assets and liabilities disposed of, the actual amounts to be reported in future filings may differ materially from the amounts used in the pro forma condensed combined financial statements.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is presented to illustrate the estimated effects of the Recoup disposition, and should be read in conjunction with the following:

	I.	The audited consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022; as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 15, 2024, included herein by reference.

	II.	The unaudited financial statements of the Company as of June 30, 2024 and for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023; as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 19, 2024, included herein by reference.

NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2024 AND DECEMBER 31, 2023

(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 — BASIS OF PRO FORMA PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared to illustrate the effect of the Purchase Agreement (the “Recoup Transactions”) and have been prepared for informational purposes only.

The unaudited pro-forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2024, assumes that the Recoup Transactions occurred on June 30, 2024. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined income statements for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and for the year ended December 31, 2023 assume that the Recoup Transactions occurred on January 1, 2023.

Management has made significant estimates and assumptions in its determination of the transaction accounting adjustments. As the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared based on these preliminary estimates, the final amounts recorded may differ materially from the information presented.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not give effect to any anticipated synergies, operating efficiencies, tax savings, or cost savings that may be associated with the disposal of Recoup.

The transaction accounting adjustments reflecting the completion of the disposal transactions are based on currently available information and assumptions and methodologies that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The unaudited transaction accounting adjustments, which are described in the accompanying notes, may be revised as additional information becomes available and is evaluated. Therefore, it is likely that the actual adjustments will differ from the transaction accounting adjustments, and it is possible the difference may be material. Management believes that its assumptions and methodologies provide a reasonable basis for presenting all the significant effects of the disposal transactions based on information available to management at the current time and that the transaction accounting adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions and are properly applied in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations and financial position of the Company would have been had the sale taken place on the date indicated, nor are they indicative of the future consolidated results of operations or financial position of the post-disposition company. They should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and notes thereto of the Company.

NOTE 2 — TRANSACTION ACCOUNTING ADJUSTMENTS TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The transaction accounting adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2024 and the unaudited condensed combined pro forma statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023 are as follows:
