NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION

 

Alliance Bioenergy Plus, Inc (the “Company”) is a technology company focused on emerging technologies in the renewable energy, biofuels, and new technologies sectors. In January 2018, the Company’s technology experts developed a new technology system it calls Cellulose-to-Sugar 2.0 or CTS 2.0, and a patent application was filed. The 100% owned CTS 2.0 is a mechanical/chemical dry process for converting cellulose material into sugar for use in the biofuels industry. CTS 2.0 can convert any cellulosic material – like grasses, wood, paper, farm waste, yard waste, forestry products, energy crops like hemp or King Grass, and the cellulosic portion of municipal solid waste – into sugars and lignin, and subsequently into biofuels and bioplastics. The CTS 2.0 system produces sugar and chemically unmodified lignin among other by-products. The sugar can then be further converted into biofuels and the lignin into bioplastics.

 

The new technology made it worthwhile to financially restructure the Company through Chapter 11. The Company voluntarily filed for Chapter 11 on October 22, 2018, in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the Southern District of Florida. The Company exited Chapter 11 on September 18, 2019, while keeping all classes, including shareholders, unimpaired. The bankruptcy case was closed on October 25, 2019. Fresh Start accounting is not being applied because existing voting shares immediately before Plan Confirmation were not less than 50 percent of the voting shares of the emerging entity.

 

The Company’s focus is to commercialize its wholly owned CTS 2.0 technology. The Company is currently working with its 4th generation prototype and anticipates having a 5th generation semi-commercial scale system in 2021.

 

Plan of Operation

 

The Company is now doing the engineering work to commercialize its 100% owned CTS 2.0 technology.

 

The Company has a strategy that includes the following:

 

  1) Selling sugar or ethanol either direct or in combination with joint ventures, mergers, and/or acquisitions of existing businesses in the renewable energy space;
  2) Selling low-cost high purity lignin, or using that lignin to produce biodegradable plastics, or making biodegradable bioplastics products and selling them under our own brand.

 

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern, which assumes the Company will realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not generated any significant revenue since inception and has incurred losses since inception. As of March 31, 2021, the Company has a working capital surplus of $2,064,480. As of March 31, 2021, the Company has incurred accumulated losses of $47,295,677. On October 22, 2018, the Company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. On September 18, 2019, the judge confirmed the Company’s Chapter 11 Plan, and on October 25, 2019, the bankruptcy case was closed. The Company expects to incur significant additional losses and liabilities in connection with its start-up and commercialization activities. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities when they become due and to generate sufficient revenues from its operations to pay its operating expenses. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classifications of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classifications of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty. There are no assurances that the Company will continue as a going concern.

 

Management believes that the Company’s future success is dependent upon its ability to achieve profitable operations, generate cash from operating activities and obtain additional financing. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to generate sufficient cash from operations, sell additional shares of stock or borrow additional funds. The Company’s inability to obtain additional cash could have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations, and its ability to continue in existence. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty

 

The Company intends to raise additional capital and continue engineering work and scaling up towards a full-scale commercial size CTS 2.0 modular unit. At that point, and to minimize dilution to shareholders, the Company will seek project-based financing to build (or acquire and retrofit) or joint venture with existing ethanol producers to produce cellulosic ethanol and lignin/bioplastics from its patented CTS 2.0 system. Once the first plant is profitable, the Company intends to grow with additional plants both in the United States and internationally.

 

Currently, the US government gives a D3 RIN to incentivize the production of renewable fuels from cellulosic materials. The value of the D3 RIN fluctuates, but as of this filing, it is around $2.60 per gallon of ethanol on top of the market price of ethanol.

 

The Company believes that its CTS 2.0 process can produce ethanol profitably at the market price, and with the D3 RIN should generate substantial profits and cash flow in amounts sufficient to cover the Company’s operating expenses and debt service.

 

Our business, results of operations, and financial condition may be adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively affected the U.S. and global economies, disrupted global supply chains, resulted in significant travel and transport restrictions, including mandated closures and orders to “shelter-in-place,” and created significant disruption of the financial markets. We are closely monitoring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of our business, including how it will impact our customers, employees and supply chain. Given the critical nature of the products that we provide, our office and lab have remained open during the pandemic. The extent to which our operations may be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic will depend largely on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted. We may experience additional operating costs due to increased challenges with our workforce (including as a result of illness, absenteeism or government orders), access to supplies, capital, and fundamental support services (such as shipping and transportation). Even after the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, we may experience materially adverse impacts to our business due to any resulting economic recession or depression. Furthermore, the impacts of a potential worsening of global economic conditions and the continued disruptions to and volatility in the financial markets remain unknown.

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the Company’s majority-owned subsidiaries over which the Company exercises control.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, after elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions. Investments in business entities in which the Company lacks control but has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies are accounted for using the equity method. All material intercompany transactions and balances were eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the dates presented and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods presented. Significant estimates inherent in the preparation of the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include estimates of impairment assessment of identifiable intangible assets and valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. Estimates are based on past experience and other considerations reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

All highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase are considered to be cash equivalents.

 

Stock Compensation

 

The Company recognizes the cost of all share-based payments under the relevant authoritative accounting guidance. Share-based payments include any remuneration paid by the Company in shares of the Company’s common stock or financial instruments that grant the recipient the right to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock. For share-based payments to employees, which consist only of awards made under the stock option plan described below, the Company accounts for the payments in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 718, “Stock Compensation” (formerly referred to as SFAS No. 123(R)). Share-based payments to consultants, service providers and other non-employees are accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 718, ASC Topic 505, “Equity Payments to Non-Employees” or other applicable authoritative guidance.

 

Stock-based Compensation Valuation Methodology

 

Stock-based compensation resulting from the issuance of common stock is calculated by reference to the valuation of the stock on the date of issuance, the expense being recognized as the compensation is earned. Stock-based compensation expenses related to employee options and warrants granted to non-employees are recognized as the stock options and warrants are earned. The fair value of the stock options or warrants granted is estimated at the grant date, using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, and the expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the period over which services are to be received or the life of the option or warrant. The grant date fair value of employee share options and similar instruments is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model on the basis of the fair value of the underlying common stock on the measurement date, adjusted for the unique characteristics of those equity instruments, using the assumptions noted in the table below. The fair value of the common stock is determined by the then-prevailing closing market price. Expected volatility was based on the historical volatility of the Company’s closing day market price per share. The expected term of options and warrants was based upon the life of the option, and the risk-free rate used was based on the U.S. Treasury Daily Yield Curve Rate.

 

9

 

 

The stock compensation issued for services during the 3 months ended March 31, 2021, was valued on the date of issuance. The following assumptions were used in calculations of the Black-Scholes option pricing models for warrant-based stock compensation issued in the three months ended March 31, 2021:

 

   1/5/21 
Risk-free interest rate   0.96%
Expected life   10 years 
Expected dividends   0%
Expected volatility   209.98%
ALLM common stock fair value  $0.124 

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided for on a straight-line basis over the useful lives of the assets, generally 5 to 10 years. Expenditures for additions and improvements are capitalized; repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

 

Patent Capitalization

 

If a product is currently under research and development and is not currently approved for market, costs incurred in connection with patent applications should generally be expensed in the income statement because there is uncertainty as to the future economic benefit of the asset. Conversely, if a product is approved for market (as is the case of the end product ethanol), or if future economic benefit is probable, or if an alternative future use is available to the Company, then such patent costs can be capitalized and amortized over the expected life of the patent(s). Since the Company’s primary end product is sugar converting to ethanol, which are in wide use, the Company has determined that it is reasonable to capitalize the patent costs associated with its CTS process, which were $142,853 as of March 31, 2021 and $138,016 as of December 31, 2020.

 

Research and Development

 

The Company expenses all research and development costs as incurred. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, and March 31, 2020, the amounts charged to research and development expenses were $265,074, and $90,616, respectively.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company follows FASB ASC 605 “Revenue Recognition” and recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. The Company’s revenues will be derived principally from joint ventures, royalties and eventually corporate owned plants. However, no sales have occurred through those revenue streams to date. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met:

 

  1. persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;
  2. the product has been shipped or the services have been rendered to the customer;
  3. the sales price is fixed or determinable; and,
  4. collectability is reasonably assured.

 

10

 

 

Common Stock Purchase Warrants and Other Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company classifies as equity any contracts that require physical settlement or net-share settlement or provide it with a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in the Company’s own shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement) provided that such contracts are indexed to its own stock as defined in ASC 815-40 (“Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity”). The Company classifies as assets or liabilities any contracts that require net-cash settlement (including a requirement to net cash settle the contract if an event occurs and if that event is outside the Company’s control) or give the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement). The Company assesses the classification of its common stock purchase warrants and other free-standing derivatives at each reporting date to determine whether a change in classification between assets and liabilities is required.

 

Non-controlling interest in consolidated subsidiaries

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Alliance BioEnergy Plus, Inc. and those subsidiaries that the Company has the ability to control either through voting rights or means other than voting rights. For these subsidiaries, the Company records 100% of the revenues, expenses, cash flows, assets and liabilities in its consolidated financial statements. For subsidiaries that the Company controls but hold less than 100% ownership, a non-controlling interest is recorded in the consolidated income statement to reflect the non-controlling interest’s share of the net income (loss), and a non-controlling interest is recorded in the consolidated balance sheet to reflect the non-controlling interest’s share of the net assets of the subsidiary.

 

Investments in non-consolidated affiliates

 

Investments in non-consolidated affiliates are accounted for using the equity method or cost basis depending upon the level of ownership and/or the Company’s ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the investee. When the equity method is used, investments are recorded at original cost and adjusted periodically to recognize the Company’s proportionate share of the investees’ net income or losses after the date of investment. When net losses from an investment are accounted for under the equity method exceed its carrying amount, the investment balance is reduced to zero and additional losses are not provided for. The Company resumes accounting for the investment under the equity method if the entity subsequently reports net income and the Company’s share of that net income exceeds the share of net losses not recognized during the period the equity method was suspended. Investments are written down only when there is clear evidence that a decline in value that is other than temporary has occurred.

 

Impairment of Long Lived Assets

 

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable. If events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable, the Company compares the carrying amount of the asset group to future undiscounted net cash flows, excluding interest costs, expected to be generated by the asset group and their ultimate disposition. If the sum of the undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds the fair value of the asset group. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” Under this method, income tax expense is recognized for the amount of: (i) taxes payable or refundable for the current year and (ii) deferred tax consequences of temporary differences resulting from matters that have been recognized in an entity’s financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if based on the weight of the available positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

ASC Topic 740.10.30 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC Topic 740.10.40 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. The Company has no material uncertain tax positions for any of the reporting periods presented.

Profit (Loss) per Common Share:

 

Basic profit (loss) per share amounts have been calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each reporting period. Diluted loss per share has been calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares plus the potentially dilutive effect of securities such as outstanding options and warrants. The computation of potential common shares has been performed using the treasury stock method. The warrants and options are antidilutive for all periods presented. When net loss is reported, diluted and basic net loss per share amounts are the same as the impact of potential common shares is antidilutive.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, which defines fair value as used in numerous accounting pronouncements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure of fair value measurements.

 

The estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, payables to related parties, and accounts payable and accrued expenses are carried at historical cost basis, which approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

 

ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

 

Level 2 — quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable

 

Level 3 — inputs that are unobservable (for example cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions)

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other standard setting bodies that may have an impact on the Company’s accounting and reporting. The Company believes that such recently issued accounting pronouncements and other authoritative guidance for which the effective date is in the future either will not have an impact on its accounting or reporting or that such impact will not be material to its financial position, results of operations, and cash flows when implemented.

Leases

 

The Company consolidated its premises into one location on November 1, 2019, and currently leases office and laboratory space in Palm Beach Gardens, FL, that is classified as operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date for leases exceeding 12 months. The lease period is for twenty-four (24) months from November 1, 2019, to October 31, 2021. This had been extended for one year until October 31, 2022. Annual rent commenced at $84,100 per annum and increases 3% per year. Tenant is also required to cover operating costs that are estimated at $3,084 per month. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included in General & Administrative expenses.

 

ASC 842 was effective for us beginning January 1, 2019. The adoption had a material impact on our consolidated balance sheets, but did not have a material impact on our consolidated income statements.

Business Overview

 

Alliance Bioenergy Plus, Inc (the “Company”) is a technology company focused on emerging technologies in the renewable energy, biofuels, and bioplastics technologies sectors.

 

In January 2018, the Company’s technology experts developed a technology system it calls Cellulose-to-Sugar or CTS 2.0, and a patent application was filed. CTS 2.0 is a mechanical/chemical dry process for converting cellulose material into sugar for use in the biofuels industry. CTS 2.0 can convert virtually any cellulosic material – like grasses, wood, paper, farm waste, yard waste, forestry products, energy crops like hemp or King Grass, and the cellulosic portion of municipal solid waste – into sugars and subsequently into biofuels and bioplastics without the use of enzymes or liquid acids. CTS 2.0 has a near zero carbon footprint, recycles the water and catalyst, and uses no enzymes, expensive chemicals, or strong acids. At commercial scale, management expects to be able to produce ethanol at a lower cost than any competitor due to the fact that the CTS 2.0 process is uncomplicated and efficient, and that it uses low cost feedstock as compared to corn.

 

The new technology made it worthwhile to financially restructure the Company through Chapter 11. The Company voluntarily filed for Chapter 11 on October 22, 2018, in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the Southern District of Florida. Management fought and eliminated millions in debts and disputed debts, and the Company exited Chapter 11 on September 18, 2019, while keeping all classes, including shareholders, unimpaired. Having paid all debts that needed to be paid, the bankruptcy case was closed on October 25, 2019. Fresh Start accounting is not being applied because existing voting shares immediately before Plan Confirmation were not less than 50 percent of the voting shares of the emerging entity.

The Company completed its 4th generation CTS 2.0 prototype system in July 2020, upgraded it in early 2021, and is currently testing it to optimize various parameters towards the engineering and scale up to a commercial size reactor.

 

Plan of Operation

 

The Company’s goal is to develop this CTS 2.0 technology to a commercial scale and then seek to either joint venture or acquire existing bioenergy and ethanol plants to install the CTS technology. To minimize dilution to shareholders, the Company will seek project-based financing to build (or acquire and retrofit) or joint venture with existing ethanol producers to produce cellulosic ethanol and lignin/bioplastics from its patented CTS 2.0 system. Retrofitting existing plants with the CTS 2.0 technology may achieve more rapid commercialization than building new plants. Once the first plant is profitable, the Company intends to grow with additional plants both in the United States and internationally.

 

Currently, the US government gives a D3 RIN to incentivize the production of renewable fuels from cellulosic materials. The value of the D3 RIN fluctuates, but as of this filing, it is around $1.60 per gallon of ethanol on top of the market price of ethanol.

 

The Company believes that its CTS 2.0 process can produce ethanol profitably at the market price, and with the D3 RIN should generate substantial profits and cash flow in amounts sufficient to cover the Company’s operating expenses and debt service.

 

The Company has a strategy that includes using its low-cost high-purity lignin co-product to produce biodegradable bioplastics. The Company has also licensed the Vertimass Process to convert ethanol (from the CTS 2.0 process) into bio-jet fuel. That agreement is subject to confidentiality between the parties.

 

The Company believes that its management and consultants have significant experience in the development of technologies from concept to commercialization. As of this date, the Company has generated $194,319 in revenue, however it has not generated any revenues from its core business.

 

Capital Formation

 

On January 5, 2021, the Company closed a financing at 7.5 cents per share having sold 2,143,332 shares and raised $160,750 from the beginning of the year until January 5th.

 

In January 2021, the company commenced a new offering of shares of its common stock valued at $0.25 per share. Through the date of filing, the Company has sold 7,160,000 shares for aggregate proceeds of $1,790,000.

 

From January 1, 2021, through the date of filing, the Company issued an aggregate of 223,000 shares of its common stock for services valued at $46,930.

19

 

 

From January 1, 2021, through the date of filing, the Company issued an aggregate of 1,166,667 warrants for services. Using a Black-Scholes asset-pricing model, these warrants were valued at $72,090. They have a 6-month term with exercise prices of 15 cents per share.

 

From January 1, 2021, through the date of filing, the Company issued options to its managers and employees to purchase 20,530,000 shares of its common stock for a period of ten years at the exercise price of 15 cents per share. Using a Black-Scholes asset-pricing model, these agreements were valued at $2,543,247. Only 10,000 of these options have vested, with a valuation of $1,215.

 

From January 1, 2021, through the date of filing, 350,000 previously issued options were exercised for proceeds of $12,900. In addition, 250,000 options were exercised on a cashless basis for 177,778 shares.

 

From January 1, 2021, through the date of filing, warrants were exercised, for the purchase of 13,455,009 shares of common stock, at prices ranging from $0.005 to $0.25 per share for total proceeds of $1,302,817.

 

From January 1, 2021, through the date of filing, $279,000 of debt issued during Chapter 11 was exchange for 7,080,000 shares of stock.

 

Going Concern

 

The Company has incurred losses since inception, has a working capital deficiency, and may be unable to raise further capital. At March 31, 2021, the Company had a working capital surplus of $2,064,480 and had incurred accumulated losses of $47,295,677 since its inception. The Company expects to incur significant additional losses in connection with its continued start-up activities. As a result, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern based upon recurring operating losses and its need to obtain additional financing to sustain operations. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities when they become due and to generate sufficient revenues from its operations to pay its operating expenses.

 

Results of Operations

 

Comparison of the three month period ended March 31, 2021(unaudited) to March 31, 2020

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recognized $0 in revenue as opposed to $0 in 2020.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company’s general and administrative expenses increased by $106,243 to $306,277 from $200,034 in 2020. This increase is primarily the result of a $73,259 increase in consultancy fees and $21,223 in promotion related to financings.

 

Interest expense decreased in the quarter ended March 31, 2021 by $98,455 to $8,749 from $107,204 in 2020. The decrease in 2021 was primarily the result of the Company’s decision in 2020 to pay interest on back pay due, and in 2021 of having paid some of that back pay off.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2021 the Company recorded non-cash impairments of assets of $33,484, as compared to zero in 2020. This was the result of disposing of laboratory assets no longer in use.

 

Research and development (R&D) costs for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were $265,074, an increase of $174,458 from $90,616 in 2020. The increase in R&D expenses is primarily the result of hiring additional personnel to accelerate the process of commercializing the CTS 2.0 system.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Liquidity

 

As of March 31, 2021, the Company had $2,440,403 in cash, and total stockholders’ equity at March 31, 2021, was negative $299,646. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had $286,579 in cash and total stockholders’ equity at December 31, 2020 was negative $3,336,764. Total debt, including advances, accounts payable and other notes payable at March 31, 2021, together with interest payable thereon and contingent liabilities, was $3,359,820 a decrease of $869,446 from December 31, 2020, where it stood at $4,229,266. This decrease is attributable to the conversion of convertible notes and the repayment of the majority of deferred wages. $1,820,630 of the remaining debt was renegotiated to be payable out of future revenue and $917,502 out of future profits and otherwise does not come due.

 

During the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2021, the Company’s operating activities increased by $314,185 to $604,835 from $290,650. This increase can primarily be attributed to an increase in R&D expenses and expenses related to raising capital as compared to 2020.

 

During the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2021, the Company’s investing activities used $45,462 in cash. This can be primarily attributed to capitalizing $4,838 in patent costs and $40,624 used to purchase machinery and equipment. During the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2020, the Company’s investing activities used $45,914. This is primarily due to the purchase of equipment of $44,814.

 

During the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2021, the Company generated an aggregate of $3,251,467 through its financing activities, which is an increase of $2,976,467 from $275,000 during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2020. This increase from the prior year can primarily be attributed to $1,935,750 in the sale of common stock through the Company’s private offerings in 2021, and $1,315,717 in proceeds from the exercise of warrants and options.

 

Capital Resources

 

At this time, the Company has limited liquidity and capital resources. To continue funding its operations, the Company will need to generate revenue or obtain additional financing for current and future operations. The Company anticipates needing around $10 million to optimize and scale up its CTS 2.0 system to be commercially ready. The Company anticipates reaching this stage around 18 months after financing. There is no guarantee that we will achieve this additional funding.

 

As of the date of filing, the Company has raised $3,266,467 in 2021, through the issuance of common stock and the exercise of warrants and options, in addition to $10,998,234 through the end of 2020, for a total of $14,254,701, in addition to capital raised through debt or convertible notes. However, there is no guarantee that the company will be able to raise any additional capital on terms acceptable to the Company.

 

The inability to obtain this funding either in the near term and/or longer term will materially affect the ability of the Company to implement its business plan of operations and jeopardize the viability of the Company. In that case, the Company may need to reevaluate and revise its operations.

 

Equity

 

As of March 31, 2021, shareholders’ equity was negative $299,646.

 

There were 272,251,066 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2021.

 

There were no preferred shares outstanding.

 

The Company has paid no dividends.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Disclosure controls and procedures refer to controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

As required by Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act, our management has carried out an evaluation, with the participation and under the supervision of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2021 to a reasonable assurance level because of the material weaknesses described below.

 

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

 

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)). The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2021 using the criteria established in “Internal Control - Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).

 

A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2021, the Company determined that there were control deficiencies that constituted material weaknesses, as described below.

 

22

 

 

1. We have an Audit Committee, but it does not currently contain an independent financial expert member. – While not being legally obligated to have an audit committee, it is management’s view that such a committee, including a financial expert member, is an utmost important entity level control over the Company’s financial statement. Although we have an Audit Committee, it does not currently include a member that is both a financial expert and considered to be independent of management to provide the necessary oversight over management’s activities.
2. We have inadequate cash controls. Although we have separated cash handling and accounting functions, we do not currently require dual signature on the Company’s bank accounts.
3. The Company has insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements.
4. Although the Company retains copies of all financial data and material agreements and backs them up in the cloud, the rest of the Company’s material agreements may not be. In the event of theft, misplacement, or loss due to fire or other unmitigated factors, it may not be possible for the Company to retain all of its material financial data and agreements.

 

Accordingly, the Company concluded that these control deficiencies resulted in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by the company’s internal controls.

 

As a result of the material weaknesses described above, management has concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by COSO.

 

We intend to address the material weaknesses discussed above as soon as practicable but we can give no assurance that we will be able to do so. Designing and implementing an effective disclosure controls and procedures is a continuous effort that requires us to anticipate and react to changes in our business and the economic and regulatory environments and to devote significant resources to maintain a financial reporting system that adequately satisfies our reporting obligations. The remedial measures that we have taken and plan to take may not fully address the material weaknesses that we have identified, and material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures may be identified in the future. Should we discover such conditions, we intend to remediate them as soon as practicable. We are committed to taking appropriate steps for remediation, as needed.

 

All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with our evaluation we conducted of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, that occurred during our fourth fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

The Company is subject, from time to time, to litigation, claims and suits arising in the ordinary course of business. As of the date of filing, there are no material claims or suits whose outcomes could have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

 

On June 21, 2018, Power Up Lending Group Ltd., sued both the Company and four of its managers, ex-managers, and directors of the Company in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York. The case was dropped against the Company and the claim discharged by the bankruptcy court upon Plan Confirmation on September 18, 2019. Power Up has continued a tort case against the individuals. The D&O insurance has agreed to cover the CEO Ben Slager, CFO Anthony Santelli, as well as ex-Controller Dennis Lenaburg, in this case. Management believes the Complaint is frivolous and has filed a motion to dismiss which is pending before the Court as of the date of this filing.
