CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes statements that express our opinions, expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or projections regarding future events or future results and therefore are, or may be deemed to be, “forward-looking statements.” All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may be forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements can generally be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including the terms “believes,” “estimates,” “continues,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “seeks,” “projects,” “intends,” “plans,” “may,” “will,” “would” or “should” or, in each case, their negative or other variations or comparable terminology. They appear in a number of places throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and include statements regarding our intentions, beliefs or current expectations concerning, among other things, our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, prospects, growth, strategies, future acquisitions and the industry in which we operate.

 

By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. We believe that these risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those described in the “Risk Factors” section of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read with the other cautionary statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

Although we base these forward-looking statements on assumptions that we believe are reasonable when made, we caution you that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and that our actual results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and industry developments may differ materially from statements made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The matters summarized under “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q could cause our actual results to differ significantly from those contained in our forward-looking statements. In addition, even if our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and industry developments are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, those results or developments may not be indicative of results or developments in subsequent periods.

 

In light of these risks and uncertainties, we caution you not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement that we make in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q speaks only as of the date of such statement, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement or to publicly announce the results of any revision to any of those statements to reflect future events or developments, except as required by applicable law. Comparisons of results for current and any prior periods are not intended to express any future trends or indications of future performance, unless specifically expressed as such, and should only be viewed as historical data.

1. Description of Business and Organization

 

Bright Green Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated on April 16, 2019, under the Delaware General Corporation Law. The Company is located in Grants, New Mexico. The Company holds the land, greenhouse and patents required in the growth, production, and research of medicinal

plants.

 

On May 28, 2019, the Company entered into a merger agreement with Bright Green Grow Innovation, LLC (“BGGI”) (Note 6).

 

On October 30, 2020, Grants Greenhouse Growers, Inc. (“GGG”), a New Mexico corporation, merged with the Company (Note 6).

 

On November 10, 2020, Naseeb, Inc. (“Naseeb”), a New Mexico corporation, merged with the Company (Note 6).

 

On March 29, 2022, the Company filed a registration statement pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) on Form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), which was declared effective May 13, 2022, (as amended, the “Registration Statement”), in connection with the direct listing of the Company’s common stock with the Capital Market of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”).

 

On May 17, 2022, the Company’s common stock commenced trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “BGXX.”

 

The Company is a start-up company at September 30, 2022 and has no revenue.

 

The Company’s operations could be significantly adversely affected by the effects of a widespread global outbreak of a contagious disease, including the recent outbreak of respiratory illness caused by COVID-19. The Company cannot accurately predict the impact COVID-19 will have on its operations and the ability of others to meet their obligations with the Company, including uncertainties relating to the ultimate geographic spread of the virus, the severity of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, and the length of travel and quarantine restrictions imposed by governments of affected countries. In addition, a significant outbreak of contagious diseases in the human population could result in a widespread health crisis that could adversely affect the economies and financial markets of many countries, resulting in an economic downturn that could further affect the Company’s operations and ability to finance its operations.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally present in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP were omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The financial information contained in this report should be read in conjunction with the financial information and notes thereto for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 filed as a part of the Registration Statement. The results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending December 31, 2022. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had cash of $4,062,457 compared to $1,282,565 as of December 31, 2021. The increase of $2,779,892 in cash was mainly by cash received from the sales of common stock of $12,186,733. This increase was partly offset by the use of funds for the construction in progress, deposit for equipment, and the costs associated with the Company’s Registration Statement. Since its inception, the Company has incurred net losses and funded its operations primarily through the issuance of equities, an advance from a director and since September 2022 a $3,491,057 draw on a line of credit. As at September 30, 2022, the Company had a total stockholders’ equity of $13,145,644 (December 31, 2021 - $8,220,399).

 

The Company is in its initial stages to start building facilities to grow, research and distribute medical plants. The Company has incurred recurring losses from operations, and as at September 30, 2022, had an accumulated deficit of $32,098,200 (December 31, 2021 -$6,413,744) and a positive working capital of $1,333,760 (December 31, 2021 - working capital of $1,282,829). The Company does has sufficient working capital to pay its operating expenses for a period of at least 12 months from the date the condensed financial statements were authorized to be issued. The Company’s continued existence is dependent upon its ability to continue to execute its operating plan and to obtain additional debt or equity financing. The Company has developed plans to raise funds and continues to pursue sources of funding that management believes, if successful, would be sufficient to support the Company’s operating plan. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company raised $12,186,733 through common stock issuances. The Company has also secured a $5,000,000 line of credit from a related party entity and has drawn $3,491,057 and paid down $1,511,067, leaving available $3.02 million to draw from that credit facility (Note 10). The Company amended the line of credit subsequent to September 30, 2022 to increase the capacity by $10.0 million (Note 14). The Company’s operating plan is predicated on a variety of assumptions including, but not limited to, the level of product demand, cost estimates, its ability to continue to raise additional financing and the state of the general economic environment in which the Company operates. There can be no assurance that these assumptions will prove accurate in all material respects, or that the Company will be able to successfully execute its operating plan. In the event that the Company is not able to raise capital from investors or credit facilities in a timely manner, the Company will explore available options, including but not limited to, an equity backed loan against the property. In the absence of additional appropriate financing, the Company may have to modify its plan or slow down the pace of development and commercialization.

 

The Company does not have any short or long-term contractual purchases with suppliers for future purchases, capital expenditure commitments that cannot be cancelled with minimal fees, non-cancelable operating leases, or any commitment or contingency that would hinder management’s ability to scale down operations and management expenses until funding is raised.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

  A. Basis of Measurement

 

The condensed financial statements of the Company have been prepared on an historical cost basis except as indicated otherwise.

 

  B. Property, Plant, and Equipment

 

Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to earnings as incurred; additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized. When property plant and equipment is retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment, except land, which is not depreciated, is provided using the declining balance method, or straight-line method, with estimated lives as follows:

 

Building and improvement - declining balance method 10 year life
Furniture and fixtures - straight-line method 3 year life

 

Construction in progress is not depreciated until the asset is placed in service.

 

  C. Long-lived Assets

 

The Company applies the provisions of ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. ASC Topic 360 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed annually for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets’ carrying amounts may not be recoverable; it further requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the long-lived assets. Loss on long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that fair values are reduced for the cost of disposal.

 

  D. Intangible Assets

 

The Company’s intangible assets consist of certain licenses (Note 6) which will be amortized over the term of each license. The intangible assets with finite useful lives are reviewed for impairment when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the long-lived assets.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

  E. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

For certain carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, other asset, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and due to related party, the carrying amounts approximate their fair values due to their short-term maturities.

 

FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company. FASB ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments, defines fair value, and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures.

 

The carrying amounts reported in the condensed balance sheets for receivables and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of their fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization, low risk of counterparty default and their current market rate of interest. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no Level 1 assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets in inactive markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no Level 2 assets or liabilities.

 

Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology use one or more unobservable inputs which are significant to the fair value measurement.

 

The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under FASB ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, and FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging.

 

  F. Advertising Costs

 

Advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred. Advertising costs totaled $67,405 and $16,191 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

  G. Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. ASC 740 requires a company to use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes, whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion, or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

 

Under ASC 740, a tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. The Company has no material uncertain tax positions for any of the reporting periods presented.

 

  H. Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) per share

 

Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The dilutive effect on earnings per share is calculated, presuming the exercise of outstanding options, warrants and similar instruments. It assumes that the proceeds of such exercise would be used to repurchase common shares at the average market price during the period. However, the calculation of diluted loss per share excludes the effects of various conversions and exercise of options and warrants that would be anti-dilutive.

 

  I. Segment Reporting

 

ASC 280-10, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”, establishes standards for how public business enterprises report information about operating segments in the Company’s condensed financial statements. Operating segments are components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision-maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Significantly all of the assets of the Company are located in the United States of America and the Company is a start-up company as at September 30, 2022 and 2021 and has no revenue. The Company’s reportable segments and operating segments will include its growth, production and research of medicinal plants operations.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

  J. Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the condensed financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. This applies in particular to valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, valuation of warrants and stock-based compensation and assignment of the useful lives of property and equipment. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

 

  K. Stock-based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for stock-based payments in accordance with the provision of ASC 718, which requires that all stock-based payments issued to acquire goods or services, including grants of employee stock options, be recognized in the condensed statements of operations and comprehensive loss based on their fair values, net of estimated forfeitures. ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Compensation expense related to stock-based awards is recognized over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period.

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation awards issued to non-employees for services, as prescribed by ASC 718-10, at either the fair value of the services rendered or the instruments issued in exchange for such services, whichever is more readily determinable, using the guidelines in ASC 505-50. The Company issues compensatory shares for services including, but not limited to, executive, management, accounting, operations, corporate communication, financial and administrative consulting services.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

  L. Warrants

 

The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in FASB, ASC 480 and ASC 815. The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own ordinary shares and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.  For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the condensed statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

 

  M. Standards, Amendments, and Interpretations Adopted

 

  1) Modification of Equity-Classified Written Call Options

 

In April 2021, The FASB issued ASU 2021-04 to codify the final consensus reached by the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) on how an issuer should account for modifications made to equity-classified written call options (hereafter referred to as a warrant to purchase the issuer’s common stock). The guidance in the ASU requires the issuer to treat a modification of an equity-classified warrant that does not cause the warrant to become liability-classified as an exchange of the original warrant for a new warrant. This guidance applies whether the modification is structured as an amendment to the terms and conditions of the warrant or as termination of the original warrant and issuance of a new warrant. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods withing those periods, and early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this accounting policy as of January 1, 2022.

 

  2) Leases

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases. The new standard establishes a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the statement of financial position for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the statement of activities.

 

The new standard became effective for public business entities on January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The new standard became effective for the Company on May 17, 2022, the date the Company became a public entity. The Company adopted this accounting policy as of May 17, 2022.

 

A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. While the Company continues to evaluate certain aspects of the new standard, including those still being revised by the FASB, the new standard does not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements. As of September 30, 2022, the Company does not have any leases.

 

4. Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash deposits. Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000. The Company had $3,812,457 and $1,032,565 in excess of the FDIC insured limit at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

 

5. Deposits

 

Deposits are comprised of two down payments for two construction of equipment contracts for which the Company has not yet taken title (Note 9).

6. Merger Transactions

 

  A. Bright Green Grow Innovations, LLC Merger

 

On May 28, 2019, the Company entered into a merger agreement with BGGI. Pursuant to the merger agreement, BGGI transferred to the Company two parcels of land and a greenhouse building having a total net carrying value of $9,128,851 in exchange for shares of the Company (Note 7). The land transfer consisted of a 70-acre lot with a greenhouse at 1033 George Hanosh Blvd., Grants, New Mexico 87020 and a 40-acre lot in the City of Grants, New Mexico. The Company assessed that the merger transaction did not qualify as a business combination in accordance with the provisions of ASC 805. The Company accounted for the merger as an acquisition of assets. Since, under ASC 850, the merger was considered as a related party transaction by virtue of common ownership and management, the assets transferred to the Company have been accounted for at historical carrying values of BGGI.

 

  B. Grants Greenhouse Growers, Inc. Merger

 

On October 30, 2020, the Company entered into a merger agreement with GGG (“GGG”) (the “GGG Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the GGG Merger Agreement, GGG was merged into the Company in exchange for 1,000,000 shares of the Company. GGG had no assets or liabilities, other than the following option agreements:

 

  - A Real Estate Option Agreement dated October 5, 2020, and expiring on December 31, 2021, for $1,500 monthly payments up until June 30, 2021, and $1,750 monthly payments from July 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021, with a one-year extension starting on January 1, 2022 for $2,000 monthly payments, with the option to purchase 330 acres for $5,000 per acre.
     
  - A Real Estate Option Agreement dated October 21, 2020, and expiring on December 31, 2021, for $1,000 monthly payments, with a one-year extension starting on January 1, 2022 for $1,500 monthly payments, with the option to purchase 175 acres for $5,000 per acre.

 

The Company assessed that the merger transaction did not qualify as a business combination in accordance with the provisions of ASC 805. The Company accounted for the merger as an acquisition of assets. The asset acquisition was accounted for at the fair value of the options agreement of $103,837 determined using the Black Scholes Model with assumptions including current market price of land of $4,000 per acre, exercise price of option of $5,000 per acre, dividend yield of 0.00%, risk free rate for term of 0.15%, volatility 28.4% and years remaining in the range of 2.19 to 2.24 years.

 

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, management has assessed the value of these options to be impaired due to uncertainty surrounding their recoverability.

6. Merger Transactions (continued)

 

  C. Naseeb, Inc. Merger

 

On November 10, 2020, the Company entered into a merger agreement with Naseeb and the sole shareholder of Naseeb, who is also a shareholder and Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Pursuant to the Naseeb merger agreement, Naseeb was merged into the Company in exchange for 10,000,000 shares of the Company. Naseeb transferred to the Company their assistance that was used by the Company towards obtaining the following licenses and patents to the Company:

 

  - New Mexico Hemp License: Industrial Hemp is an agricultural plant that uses all the byproducts of the plant such as seeds and twigs in the production of hemp seed, hemp fiber, and other eco-friendly products.
     
  - New Mexico Board of Pharmacy Schedule 1 Bulk Manufacturers License: Securing the license was required as part of the application and consideration for a federal license. Additionally, being licensed as a Schedule 1 Bulk Manufacturer allows the Company to develop and distribute Schedule 1 drugs; an authorization precedent to the ability to grow, extract and distribute other cannabidiols, such as CBG and CBN. Moreover, with this license, the Company is exempt from the restrictions generally applicable to the cannabis industry, such as plant count and per plant taxes.

 

  - Federal Medical Marijuana License: The Company has a formal agreement with the Drug Enforcement Administration for the construction and operation of a federally licensed agricultural center to grow and distribute marijuana, or its chemical constituents, supplying legitimate researchers in the United States.
     
  - Patents: The patents held by the Company provide innovative medical therapies to a wide range of conditions. These patents can be sold, licensed, or directly marketed as clinical trials are conducted and approved by the FDA.

 

The Company assessed that the merger transaction did not qualify as a business combination in accordance with the provisions of ASC 805. The Company accounted for the merger as an acquisition of assets. Since, under ASC 850, the merger was considered as a related party transaction by virtue of common ownership and management, the assets transferred to the Company have been accounted for at historical cost of Naseeb of $1,000 (Note 8).

10. Related Party Line of Credit Note

 

On June 5, 2022, the Company and LDS Capital LLC (“Lender”), whose managing member is a member of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”), entered into an unsecured line of credit in the form of a note (the “June Note”). The Note provides that the Company may borrow up to $5.0 million, including an initial loan in the amount of $3.0 million, through June 4, 2025 (the “June Note Maturity Date”) from Lender. Prior to the June Note Maturity Date, the Company may borrow up to an additional $2.0 million under the June Note, at Lender’s sole discretion, and subject to the Company’s request of such additional funds form Lender (each loan furnished under the June Note individually, a “Loan,” and collectively, the “Loans”). The Company has the right, but not the obligation, to prepay any Loan, in whole or in part, prior to the June Note Maturity Date. Interest on the unpaid principal amount of any Loan accrues through the earlier of the June Note Maturity Date or the date of prepayment on such Loan, at a rate of 2% per annum plus the Prime Rate (the rate of interest per annum announced from time to time by JPMorgan Chase Bank as its prime rate). If the principal and interest, if any, of any Loan is not paid in full on the Maturity Date, additional penalty interest will accrue on such Loan in the amount of 2% per annum. As of September 30, 2022, the Lender has funded the Company $3,491,057 with the Company paying back $1,511,067 of those funds. As of September 30, 2022, there was accrued interest of $54,507. The funds have been used for the construction in progress and interest expense of $54,507 has been capitalized (Note 7).

 

The Company amended the line of credit subsequent to September 30, 2022 to increase the capacity by $10.0 million (Note 14).

 

11. Stockholders’ Equity

 

The Company has authorized 200,000,000 shares of $0.0001 par value common stock and 10,000,000 shares of $0.0001 par value preferred stock. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were 169,342,300 and 157,544,500, respectively, shares of common stock issued and outstanding. The Company has not issued any preferred shares to date.

  -

9,523,810 shares of Common Stock and warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 9,523,810 shares of Common Stock, in a private placement offering, in September 2022 (the “September 2022 Private Placement”).

     
   

On September 7, 2022, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with investors. The combined purchase price of one Share and accompanying Warrant was $1.05. Subject to certain ownership limitations, the Warrants are exercisable immediately after issuance at an exercise price equal to $1.05 per share of Common Stock (the “Exercise Price”), subject to adjustments as provided under the terms of the Warrants. The Warrants have a term of five years from the date of issuance. The September 2022 Private Placement closed on September 12, 2022. The Company received gross proceeds of approximately $10 million before deducting transaction related fees and expenses payable by the Company.

 

In connection with the September Private Placement, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the investors. The Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 to register the securities issued in the September Private Placement went effective on September 21, 2022.

 

Transaction costs incurred related to the September Private Placement include the following: (i) placement agent fees of $800,000, (ii) legal expenses of $55,617, and (iii) escrow agent expenses of $7,650.

     
   

September Warrants

 

The measurement of fair value was determined utilizing a Monte Carlo simulation considering all relevant assumptions current at the date of issuance (i.e., share price of $1.65, exercise price of $1.05, term of five years, volatility of 174.3%, risk-free rate of 3.41%, probability of dilutive issuance of 15%, estimated timing of dilutive issuance of four and a half months, and expected time to conversion of five years). The grant date fair value of these Warrants was estimated to be $4,489,662 on September 12, 2022 of the gross proceeds and is reflected within additional paid-in capital as of September 30, 2022.

13. Contingencies

 

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may routinely be a defendant in, or party to a number of pending and threatened legal actions including actions brought on behalf of various classes of claimants. In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of such matters, the Company cannot state what the eventual outcome of such matters will be. Legal provisions are established when it becomes probable that the Company will incur an expense related to a legal action and the amount can be reliably estimated. Such provisions are recorded at the best estimate of the amount required to settle any obligation related to these legal actions as at the condensed balance sheet date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Management and internal and external experts are involved in estimating any amounts that may be required. The actual costs of resolving these claims may vary significantly from the amount of the legal provisions. The Company’s estimate involves significant judgement, given the varying stages of the proceedings, the fact that the Company’s liability, if any, has yet to be determined and the fact that the underlying matters will change from time to time. Other than as set forth below, the Company is not presently a party to any litigation. The Company is not able to make a reliable assessment of the potential losses as these matters are at an early stage, accordingly, no amounts have been accrued in the condensed financial statements.

 

Bright Green Corporation v. John Fikany, State of New Mexico, County of Cibola, Thirteenth Judicial District. In this matter, the Company filed a complaint for declaratory judgment against the former acting Chief Executive Officer of the Bright Green Group of Companies, an entity unrelated to the Company, to determine if defendant is entitled to 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, based on a failure to fulfill agreed upon conditions precedent to earning such shares from the Company. Defendant counterclaimed and filed a third-party claim against a director of the Company, and her spouse, for claims including wrongful termination and breach of contract. The Company denies defendants allegations and have set forth arguments refuting defendant’s counterclaims and third-party claims. The case is in the discovery phase. The Company is exploring potential dispositive motions against the counter and third-party claims.

 

Bright Green Corporation v. Jerry Capussi, State of New Mexico, County of Cibola, Thirteenth Judicial District. In this matter, the Company and defendant, a former consultant of BGGI, a predecessor to the Company, have each filed claims for declaratory judgment seeking to determine by court order whether defendant is entitled to (i) shares of common stock in the Company (amounting to no more than 108,000 shares) or (ii) fair market value of defendant’s equity ownership of BGGI. The lawsuit is in early discovery stages, and the Company is preparing arguments for a summary judgment motion. There are no claims for specific monetary liability against either party.

14. Subsequent Events

 

The Company’s management has evaluated the subsequent events up to November 14, 2022. The date the condensed financial statements were issued, pursuant to the requirements of ASC 855, and has determined the following constitute material subsequent events:

 

On October 3, 2022, the Company entered into a Secondary Stock Purchase Agreement and Release (the “Secondary SPA”) with Phytotherapeutix Holdings Ltd., a United Kingdom entity (“Phyto”), Equipped4 Holdings Limited, a United Kingdom entity (“Equipped”), TPR Global Limited, a United Kingdom entity (“TPR”) (Phyto, Equipped and TPR, each, a “Seller” and collectively, the “Sellers”) and Alterola Biotech Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Alterola”) (the Company, the Sellers and Alterola, collectively, the “Parties”) providing for the purchase by the Company of shares of Common Stock of Alterola from the Sellers (the “Transferred Shares”). The Secondary SPA provides that, as of the date thereof, the authorized shares of Alterola consist of 2,000,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value, of which 807,047,948 shares are issued and outstanding. The Sellers in aggregate sold 201,761,982 Transferred Shares to the Company for a purchase price of $3,999,999 pursuant to the payment schedule set forth in the Secondary SPA. Following the receipt of each installment payment, the Sellers agreed to loan to Alterola the proceeds such Seller received from the foregoing sale of its Transferred Shares pursuant to a loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”). The Company has the option to purchase Alterola’s remaining issued and outstanding common stock for an additional $6 million in cash and $40 million in stock, for a total enterprise value of $50 million.

 

The Sellers held 67% of the Alterola’s total outstanding shares prior to the closing of the Secondary SPA. As a result of this transaction, the Company obtained ownership or voting power of approximately 25% of the total outstanding shares of the Alterola.

 

Concurrently with the signing of the Secondary SPA, the Company and the Sellers entered into a voting agreement (the “Voting Agreement”) whereby the Sellers agree to vote in favor of the adoption of an agreement to effect the Company’s acquisition of Alterola or Alterola’s merger into the Company or a subsidiary of the Company, as the case may be, pursuant to additional terms set forth in the Voting Agreement. Pursuant to the Voting Agreement, the Sellers executed an irrevocable proxy (the “Irrevocable Proxy”) whereby the Sellers granted the Company an irrevocable proxy to vote the Sellers’ Subject Shares (as defined therein) in a manner consistent with the Voting Agreement and pursuant to additional terms set forth in the Irrevocable Proxy.

 

On October 28, 2022, the Board of Directors, whose members control a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company, approved a proposal to amend the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the total number of authorized shares of capital stock of the Company from 210,000,000 to 510,000,000, the full amount of such increase will increase the total number of authorized shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share from 200,000,000 shares to 500,000,000 shares. The Board also approved a proposal to adopt an Omnibus Equity Plan to provide for the issuance of up to 13,547,384 shares of common stock in equity incentive awards, such as options, restricted stock and stock appreciation rights, in order to attract and retain qualified personnel, directors and consultants and align their interests with those of the Company’s stockholders. Additionally, the Board approved the issuance of shares of common stock pursuant to the terms of the Executive Employment Agreement between Terry Rafih and the Company, whereby, the Company is obligated to grant Mr. Rafih 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock, 3,000,000 of which will be fully vested and non- forfeitable upon issuance and 7,000,000 of which will vest and become non-forfeitable on a quarterly basis over a two-year period commencing on the date of the stockholders approve the grant. On November 10, 2022, the Company filed a Proxy Statement Pursuant to Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

 

On November 14, 2022, the Company and LDS Capital LLC amended the June Note to increase the line of credit from $5.0 million to $15.0 million.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our condensed financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This discussion contains forward-looking statements based upon current plans, expectations, and beliefs, involving risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements. You should review the sections titled “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” in in our prospectus (the “Prospectus”) dated September 30, 2022 and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), s, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for the period ended June 30, 2022 and this Quarterly Report on Form 10Q, for discussions of forward-looking statements and factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis, and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Our historical results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any period in the future.

 

Overview and History

 

Bright Green Corporation (“Company”, “BGC”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) is one of the first companies in the U.S. to receive conditional approval from the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (the “DEA”) to cultivate, manufacture and sell cannabis through DEA-approved channels on terms agreed by both the DEA and BGC. The DEA’s Final Rule on the topic estimated that it would award between three and fifteen companies with these registrations. BGC will produce cannabis in full compliance with all federal, state, and local laws for the U.S. government and pharmaceutical producers of medicinal cannabis products who are also licensed by the DEA.

 

BGC was incorporated in the State of Delaware in April 2019. In October 2020, BGC and Grants Greenhouse Growers, Inc. (“GGG”) entered into a merger agreement pursuant to which GGG was merged into the Company in exchange for 1,000,000 shares of the Company. In November 2020, BGC, Naseeb, Inc. (“Naseeb”), and the sole shareholder of Naseeb, who is also a shareholder, the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, entered into a merger agreement pursuant to which Naseeb was merged into the Company in exchange for 10,000,000 shares of the Company.

 

BGC owns a 70-acre parcel of land, on agricultural property, which includes a completed 22-acre greenhouse structure. The Company also owns a 40-acre parcel of land nearby, and holds options for two additional 300-acre properties which are adjacent to the owned properties (one is known as the “Candelaria” property, and the other is known as the “Azuz” property). Once the project is completed, the existing 22-acre greenhouse will be used to cultivate non-cannabis herbs and medicinal plants.

 

BGC entered into the Memorandum of Agreement with the DEA (the “MOA”) in May of 2021 following the DEA’s determination that BGC’s application materials appeared consistent with the statutory and regulatory framework. The MOA outlines how BGC will work with the DEA to facilitate the production, storage, packaging, and interstate distribution of federally legal cannabis.

 

The MOA provides a path to Bright Green for full federal registration to grow in New Mexico and distribute across the United States, any (or all) of the following Schedule I controlled substances: “Marihuana Extract” (7350) and “Marihuana” (7360). The MOA further provides BGC may sell such products to licensed researchers and registered manufacturers in the U.S. and internationally, and may use such product for internal product development and research. Complementary licenses for the same purpose have also been issued by the State of New Mexico under the New Mexico Board of Pharmacy to BGC. The MOA also anticipates BGC will grow cannabis for its own research and product development efforts, which may include the bulk manufacturing of marijuana extracts and highly purified cannabinoids and derivatives.

 

In addition to the existing greenhouse, BGC will be undergoing new construction to establish a state-of-the-art facility headquartered on our property in Grants, NM. First, we will retrofit the 22-acre existing greenhouse to make it operational. This renovation is underway and we expect it to be completed in December 2022. Within the first 10- acres of that existing greenhouse retrofit, we will include a two-acre University Greenhouse to begin housing our cannabis research, development, cultivation and manufacturing operations. This greenhouse facility will have production capacity for 50,000 cannabis plants at all times of differing maturity levels. Additionally, we estimate we will harvest approximately 300,000 mature plants per year (with multiple harvests per year). The University Greenhouse will house our research and development facility pursuant to potential partnership and other arrangements with leading U.S. universities.

 

22

 

 

BGC is constructing two additional greenhouses on the Candelaria and the Azuz properties. Each of these will be 57 acres and are substantially larger and will take longer to build than the retrofit of the existing greenhouse.

 

Our new construction facilities will include automated robotics such as the Visser transplanter robot, as well as automated growing systems to optimize growth at each stage of plant development. Additionally, they will include the following technological innovations:

 

  Technologically advanced greenhouse design, which allows for maximum environmental control, cost-efficiency, and a low carbon footprint;
  Environmentally sustainable cultivation methodology and practices in harmony with New Mexico’s unique climate, using naturally available resources;
  Cultivation at a large scale to provide consistent, secure supply for researchers and the pharmaceutical industry;
  A patented air ventilation system, which uses ambient physical properties to generate optimal indoor conditions based upon the data driven growing strategy, with minimum use of energy, which in turn enables the highest yield and quality of crop in the shortest time;
  Ebb-flood irrigation to enable the use of mildew resistant cultivars;
  Fully-implemented pest/disease scouting system;
  Controlled output through Pharma grade drying and extraction;
  Extraction and separation techniques allowing for specific combinations of cannabinoids and other properties from cannabis for targeted therapeutics; and
  Tamper-proof track & trace and record keeping system.

 

Once completed, the newly constructed fully automated facilities will be developed to grow medicinal plants, including cannabis. Upon receipt of final registration from the DEA as described above, we plan to cultivate and manufacture cannabis for federally sanctioned research, as well as perform authorized research on cannabis, including but not limited to CBN, CBG, and CBD. We also plan to leverage our cultivation, research, and manufacturing facilities to develop and commercialize approved medical cannabis products to sell to DEA registered pharmaceutical producers.

 

Our approximate budget is as follows for the capital construction project:

 

  The Company continues to renovate the existing greenhouses and will incur $5,000,000 in costs in 2022 to make the greenhouses operational. This will also contain the University Greenhouse within the first 10-acres. The budget for that is approximately $8,500,000, of which $6,500,000 is expected to be incurred in 2022 and the remaining $2,000,000 in 2023.
  Phase 1 Greenhouse (“Candelaria”), plus corridor, total 234,230m2 (approximately 57 acres) has a budget of approximately $160,000,000, of which $1,750,000 is expected to be incurred in 2022, $118,250,000 in 2023 and the remaining $40,000,000 in 2024.
  Phase 2 Greenhouse (“Azuz”), plus corridor, total 234,230m2 (approximately 57 acres) has a budget of approximately $105,000,000, of which $1,000,000 is expected to be incurred in 2022, $84,000,000 in 2023 and the remaining $20,000,000 in 2024.
  The Tissue Lab installation and turnkey consulting plus CO2 extraction installation has a budget of approximately $19,200,000 and will commence and be completed in 2023.

 

Cumulatively, of the total expected expenditures of $297,700,000, $14,250,000 is expected to be incurred in 2022, $223,450,000 in 2023, and the remaining $60,000,000 in 2024.

 

Project   Total Spend    2022    2023    2024 
Existing Greenhouse (including University Greenhouse)  $13,500,000   $11,500,000   $2,000,000      
Phase I - Candelaria  $160,000,000   $1,750,000   $118,250,000   $40,000,000 
Phase II - Azuz  $105,000,000   $1,000,000   $84,000,000   $20,000,000 
Tissue Lab  $19,200,000        $19,200,000      
Total:  $297,700,000   $14,250,000   $223,450,000   $60,000,000 

 

23

 

 

All timing and expenditure estimates are subject to change due to supply chain constraints and are contingent upon successful raise of capital from investors.

 

BGC will engage in cannabis propagation, cultivation, and manufacturing of cannabis products including cannabis flower, pre-rolls, concentrates, vape pens, capsules, tinctures, edibles, topicals and any other cannabis-related products requested for authorized sales. BGC plans to sell mostly extracted oils from medicinal plants grown in these high-tech facilities and processed onsite through a proprietary system that vertically integrates the genetically altered growth of the plants to conform to automated growing systems.

 

Recent Developments

 

June 2022 Shareholder Line of Credit

 

On June 5, 2022, the Company and LDS Capital LLC (“Lender”), whose managing member is a member of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”), entered into an unsecured line of credit in the form of a note (the “June Note”). The June Note provides that the Company may borrow up to $5.0 million, including an initial loan in the amount of $3.0 million, through June 4, 2025 (the “June Note Maturity Date”) from Lender. Lender has committed to fund to the Company $3.0 million under the June Note by June 30, 2022. Prior to the June Note Maturity Date, the Company may borrow up to an additional $2.0 million under the June Note, at Lender’s sole discretion, and subject to the Company’s request of such additional funds form Lender (each loan furnished under the June Note individually, a “Loan,” and collectively, the “Loans”). The Company has the right, but not the obligation, to prepay any Loan, in whole or in part, prior to the June Note Maturity Date. Interest on the unpaid principal amount of any Loan accrues through the earlier of the June Note Maturity Date or the date of prepayment on such Loan, at a rate of 2% per annum plus the Prime Rate (the rate of interest per annum announced from time to time by JPMorgan Chase Bank as its prime rate). If the principal and interest, if any, of any Loan is not paid in full on the Maturity Date, additional penalty interest will accrue on such Loan in the amount of 2% per annum.

 

As of September 30, 2022, the Company had drawn down approximately $2.0 million under this June Note.

 

On November 14, 2022, the Company and LDS Capital LLC amended the June Note to increase the line of credit from $5.0 million to $15.0 million, and thus has a drawing capacity of $13.0 million.

 

September 2022 Private Placement

 

On September 7, 2022, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain institutional and accredited investors (each individually, an Investor, and collectively, the “Investors”) for the sale by the Company of (i) 9,523,810 shares of the Company’s common stock and (ii) warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 9,523,810 shares of common stock in a private placement offering (the “September Private Placement”). The combined purchase price of one share of common stock and accompanying warrant was $1.05. Subject to certain ownership limitations, the warrants are exercisable immediately after issuance at an exercise price equal to $1.05 per share of common stock, subject to adjustments as provided under the terms of the warrants. The warrants have a term of five years from the date of issuance.

 

The September Private Placement closed on September 12, 2022. The Company received gross proceeds of approximately $10 million before deducting transaction related fees and expenses payable by the Company.

 

EF Hutton, division of Benchmark Investments, LLC (“Hutton”) acted as the placement agent in connection with the September 2022 Private Placement. Pursuant to the Placement Agent Agreement entered into between the Company and Hutton on September 12, 2022 (the “Placement Agent Agreement”), Hutton was paid a commission equal to 7% of the gross proceeds received by the Company in the September 2022 Private Placement. The Company also reimbursed Hutton $100,000 for out-of-pocket expenses, including the reasonable fees, costs and disbursements of its legal counsel. Pursuant to the Placement Agent Agreement, Hutton received a twelve month right of first refusal to act as sole investment banker, sole book-runner, and/or sole placement agent, at Hutton’s sole discretion, for each and every future public and private equity and debt offering, including all equity linked financings during such twelve month period. The Placement Agent Agreement also contains indemnity and other customary provisions for transactions of this nature.

 

On September 22, 2022, the Company filed a resale registration statement on Form S-1 (the “Resale Registration Statement”) with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act covering the shares of common stock and the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants sold in connection with the September 2022 Private Placement. The Resale Registration Statement was declared effective by the SEC on September 30, 2022.

Arrangement with Alterola

 

On August 25, 2022, we entered into a non-binding letter of intent (the “Alterola Agreement”) with Alterola Biotech Inc. (“Alterola”) pursuant to which we agreed to explore a merger transaction with Alterola. Pursuant to the Alterola Agreement, the Company agreed to acquire 25% (the “Initial Shares”) of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share of Alterola (“Alterola Stock”), subject to customary due diligence and applicable regulatory approvals. Additionally, pursuant to the Alterola Agreement, we received a six-month option (the “Alterola Option”) to acquire all remaining issued and outstanding shares of Alterola Stock, subject to customary due diligence, and regulatory, stockholder and other necessary approvals.

 

Pursuant to the Alterola Agreement, on October 3, 2022, the Company entered into a Secondary Stock Purchase Agreement and Release (the “Secondary SPA”) with Phytotherapeutix Holdings Ltd., a United Kingdom entity (“Phyto”), Equipped4 Holdings Limited, a United Kingdom entity (“Equipped”), TPR Global Limited, a United Kingdom entity (“TPR”) (Phyto, Equipped and TPR, each, a “Seller” and collectively, the “Sellers”) and Alterola providing for the purchase by Bright Green of the Initial Shares from the Sellers.

 

The Sellers in aggregate sold 201,761,982 shares of Alterola Stock to Bright Green for a purchase price of $3,999,999 pursuant to the payment schedule set forth in the Secondary SPA. Following the receipt of each installment payment, the Sellers agreed to loan to Alterola the proceeds such Seller received from the foregoing sale of its shares of Alterola Stock pursuant to a loan agreement.

 

The Sellers held 67% of the total outstanding shares of Alterola Stock prior to the closing of the Secondary SPA. As a result of this transaction, Bright Green obtained ownership or voting power of approximately 25% of the total outstanding shares of Alterola Stock.

 

The Alterola Agreement provides that the parties shall use their good faith efforts to enter into a definitive agreement setting forth the binding terms of the transaction, whereby we shall acquire all remaining Alterola Stock in exchange for an additional $6 million together with an aggregate of $40 million of shares of our common stock (the “Alterola Transaction”). However, the Alterola Agreement did not include material terms related to any proposed acquisitive transaction with Alterola and there is no guarantee that we will agree to terms or definitive documentation with Alterola in order to effect the proposed merger transaction.

  

Coronavirus (“COVID-19”) Impact

 

The outbreak of COVID-19, a novel strain of coronavirus first identified in China, which has spread across the globe including the U.S., has had an adverse impact on our operations and financial condition. Most recently, the response to this coronavirus by federal, state and local governments in the U.S. has resulted in the significant market and business disruptions across many industries and affecting businesses of all sizes. This pandemic has also caused significant stock market volatility and further tightened capital access for most businesses. Given that the COVID-19 pandemic and its disruptions are of unknown duration, they could have an adverse effect on our liquidity and profitability.

 

The ultimate magnitude of COVID-19, including the extent of its impact on our financial and operational results, which could be material, will depend on the length of time that the pandemic continues, its effect on the demand for our products and our supply chain, the effect of governmental regulations imposed in response to the pandemic, as well as uncertainty regarding all of the foregoing. We cannot at this time predict the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, but it could have a larger material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows beyond what is discussed within this quarterly report.

See the section titled “Risk Factors” included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our final Prospectus for further discussion of the possible impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business.

The Company has not started commercial operations but has incurred expenses in connection with corporate and administrative matters, upkeep of acquired properties for future growing, processing and distribution of medical plants, and improvements to those properties. These expenses include stock-based compensation for services rendered, legal and audit fees, and property-related expenses such as depreciation, insurance and taxes. As a result, the Company reported a net loss both reporting periods.

 

Three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

 

Revenue:

 

We are a start-up company and have not generated any revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. We can provide no assurance that we will generate sufficient revenues from our intended business operations to sustain a viable business operation. In order to generate revenues, we must first receive receipt of final registration from the DEA as described above and begin operations.

Operating Expenses:

 

We incurred operating expenses in the amount of $5,777,017 for the three months ended September 30, 2022, as compared with $628,213 for the same period ended 2021. We incurred operating expenses in the amount of $25,684,456 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared with $1,569,204 for the same period ended 2021. Our operating expenses for all periods consisted entirely of general and administrative expenses and depreciation. The detail by major category within general and administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 is reflected in the table below.

 

    Three Months Ended     Nine Months Ended  
    September 30, 2022     September 30, 2021     September 30, 2022     September 30, 2021  
Share based compensation   $ 3,844,500       30,000     $ 18,422,968       160,000  
Professional fees     1,249,949       289,641       5,782,122       613,658  
Officer salaries     247,864       -       247,864       -  
Travel     81,236       3,510       213,573       3,510  
Other expenses     46,842       83,109       118,153       103,463  
Insurance     53,903       5,537       100,806       33,578  
Licenses     2,146       -       83,804       10,935  
Bonuses     80,738       -       80,738       -  
Property taxes     14,529       18,675       43,526       54,267  
Office salaries     4,529       -       32,653       -  
Land option     10,500       8,250       31,500       27,500  
Total general and administrative expenses   $ 5,636,736       438,722     $ 21,313,207       1,006,911  
Depreciation     140,281       189,491       526,749       562,293  
Total operating expenses   $ 5,777,017       628,213     $ 25,684,456       1,569,204  

 

The increase of $5,198,014 and $20,306,296 in our general and administrative expenses for the three and nine months September 30, 2022, respectively, versus the same periods ended 2021 is largely the result of increased spending on share based compensation to service providers and executives and professional fees associated with the Direct Listing.

 

We expect our general and administrative expenses to increase in future quarters as we continue with our reporting obligations with the SEC and the increased expenses associated with increased operational activity, which is expected for the balance of the year.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of September 30, 2022, the Company had cash of $4,062,457 compared to $1,282,565 as of December 31, 2021. The increase of $2,779,892 in cash was mainly from cash received from the sales of common stock of $12,186,733. This increase was partly offset by the use of funds for the construction in progress, deposit for equipment, and the costs associated with the Company’s filed SEC registration statement. Since its inception, the Company has incurred net losses and funded its operations primarily through the issuance of equities and an advance from a director. As at September 30, 2022, the Company had a total stockholders’ equity of $13,145,644 (December 31, 2021 - $8,220,399).

 

The Company is in its initial stages to start building facilities to grow, research and distribute medical plants. The Company has incurred recurring losses from operations, and as at September 30, 2022, had an accumulated deficit of $32,098,200 (December 31, 2021 - $6,413,744) and a positive working capital of $1,333,760   (December 31, 2021 - working capital of $1,282,829). The Company has also drawn $3,491,057 and paid down $1,511,067, leaving available $3.02   million to draw from the credit facility. The Company has sufficient working capital, inclusive of the ability to draw an additional $13.02   million on the June Note , as amended in November 2022, to pay its operating expenses for a period of at least 12 months from the date the condensed financial statements were authorized to be issued. The Company’s continued existence is dependent upon its ability to continue to execute its operating plan and to obtain additional debt or equity financing. The Company has developed plans to raise funds and continues to pursue sources of funding that management believes, if successful, would be sufficient to support the Company’s operating plan. During the three   months ended September 30, 2022, the Company raised $9,136,733 through common stock issuances, net of issuance costs and legal expenses. The Company’s operating plan is predicated on a variety of assumptions including, but not limited to, the level of product demand, cost estimates, its ability to continue to raise additional financing and the state of the general economic environment in which the Company operates. There can be no assurance that these assumptions will prove accurate in all material respects, or that the Company will be able to successfully execute its operating plan. In the event that the Company is not able to raise capital from investors in a timely manner, the Company will explore available options, including but not limited to, an equity backed loan against the property. In the absence of additional appropriate financing, the Company may have to modify its plan or slow down the pace of development and commercialization.

 

The Company does not have any short or long-term contractual purchases with suppliers for future purchases, capital expenditure commitments that cannot be cancelled with minimal fees, non-cancelable operating leases, or any commitment or contingency that would hinder management’s ability to scale down operations and management expenses until funding is raised.

 

27

 

 

Inflation

 

Although our operations are influenced by general economic conditions, we do not believe that inflation had a material effect on our results of operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

 

Off-balance sheet arrangements

 

We have not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources and would be considered material to investors.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these condensed financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates based on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily available apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. For a detailed discussion about the Company’s significant accounting policies, refer to Note 3 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” in the Company’s condensed financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, no material changes were made to the Company’s significant accounting policies.

 

JOBS Act Accounting Election

 

We are an emerging growth company, as defined in the JOBS Act. The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. This provision allows an emerging growth company to delay the adoption of some accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to use the extended transition period under the JOBS Act until the earlier of the date we (1) are no longer an emerging growth company or (2) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, our condensed financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

The Company believes that it is not subject to material foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, as substantially all of its sales and expenses are denominated in the U.S. dollar. The Company does not hold derivative securities and has not entered into contracts embedded with derivative instruments, such as foreign currency and interest rate swaps, options, forwards, futures, collars or warrants, either to hedge existing risks or for speculative purposes.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

28

 

 

Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded at the time of our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 (the “Original June Report”) on August 12, 2022, that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the fiscal quarter covered by the Original June Report. On August 16, 2022, management determined that we made certain errors related to the fair value recorded for shares issued for services rendered in June 2022. The fair value of such shares is $8.00 per share but was recorded as $4.00 per share in the Original June Report. As a result, we determined that there were material errors in the financial information that required an amendment of our Original June Report (the June Amendment”). For more information, see the Explanatory Note to the June Amendment.

 

Remediation of Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

With this error being corrected in the June Amendment, net loss increased by $6,297,960. In order to remediate the material weakness, management is actively engaged in the planning for, and implementation of, remediation efforts to address our material weakness.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

Other than as described above with respect to our ongoing remediation efforts, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2022 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

 

Management recognizes that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud or error, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

From time to time, we may be involved in legal proceedings arising from the normal course of business activities. Defending such proceedings is costly and can impose a significant burden on management and employees. The results of any current or future litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following risks and all of the other information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the Prospectus before deciding whether to invest in our securities, together with the risks and information set forth in our final Prospectus. If any of these risks are realized, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. In that event, the trading price of our securities could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment in our securities. Additional risks of which we are not presently aware or that we currently believe are immaterial may also harm our business and results of operations. Some statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including such statements in the following risk factors, constitute forward-looking statements. See the section entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

The market price of our common stock has been extremely volatile and may continue to be volatile due to numerous circumstances beyond our control.

 

The market price of our common stock has fluctuated, and may continue to fluctuate, widely, due to many factors, some of which may be beyond our control. These factors include, without limitation:

 

  “short squeezes”
  comments by securities analysts or other third parties, including blogs, articles, message boards and social and other media;
  an increase or decrease in the short interest in our common stock;
  actual or anticipated fluctuations in our financial and operating results;
  risks and uncertainties associated with events and macroeconomics events such as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, fluctuations in U.S. interest rates and rapid inflation; and
  overall general market fluctuations.

 

Publicly traded companies’ stock prices in general, and our stock price in particular, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies and our company. For example, on May 18, 2022 and November 11, 2022, the closing price of our common stock was $48.08 and $0.53, respectively, and the daily trading volume on these days was approximately 3,221,100 and 150,387 shares, respectively. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price of our common stock. In particular, a proportion of our common stock has been, and may continue to be, traded by short sellers which may put pressure on the supply and demand for our common stock, further influencing volatility in the market price. Additionally, these and other external factors have caused, and may continue to cause, the market price and demand of our common stock to fluctuate, which may limit or prevent investors from readily selling their shares of common stock and may otherwise negatively affect the liquidity of our common stock.

 

Our failure to meet the continuing listing requirements of Nasdaq could result in a de-listing of our securities.

 

On November 14, 2022, we received a written notification (the “Notice Letter”) from Nasdaq indicating that we were not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), as the closing bid price for our common stock was below the $1.00 per share requirement for the last 30 consecutive business days. The Notice Letter stated that we have 180 calendar days, or until May 15, 2023 (the “Initial Compliance Period”), to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. If we do not regain compliance by the end of the Initial Compliance Period, we may apply for an additional compliance period as provided for in the Notice Letter.

 

If we fail to satisfy the continuing listing requirements of such as minimum closing bid price requirements, as discussed above, the corporate governance, or stockholders’ equity or minimum closing bid price requirements, Nasdaq may take steps to delist our common stock. Such a delisting would likely have a negative effect on the price of our common stock and would impair our stockholders’ ability to sell or purchase our common stock. In the event of a delisting, we would likely take actions to restore our compliance with Nasdaq’s listing requirements, but we can provide no assurance that any such action taken by us would allow our common stock to become listed again, stabilize the market price or improve the liquidity of our securities, prevent our common stock from dropping below the Nasdaq minimum bid price requirement or prevent future non-compliance with Nasdaq’s listing requirements. See “Part II. Item 5. Other Information” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information.

 

We identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting and determined that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of June 30, 2022, as a result of the restatement of our unaudited financial information as of and for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. Although we have taken steps to remediate these weakness and do not believe any such weaknesses remain as of September 30, 2022, we may in the future identify additional material weaknesses or otherwise fail to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting or adequate disclosure controls and procedures, which may result in material errors in our financial statements or cause us to fail to meet our period reporting obligations.

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2022. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material error in our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting included in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, our management previously concluded that we maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2022. Our management subsequently concluded that a material weakness existed and our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of June 30, 2022. This determination was made as a result of a recording error of the fair value of shares of common Stock we issued for services in June 2022. Such shares have a fair value of $8.00 per share, the price of our common Stock at the time of our Direct Listing, but were initially recorded at a fair value of $4.00 per share. With this error being corrected in an amendment to our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, net loss increased by $6,297,960. Management is actively engaged in the planning for, and implementation of, remediation efforts to address our material weakness.

While we have entered into a non-binding letter of intent with Alterola Biotech Inc. and have subsequently partially consummated the transactions contemplated thereby, we cannot assure you that the entirety of the transactions contemplated by our non-binding letter of intent will be consummated or, that if such transactions are consummated, they will be accretive to stockholder value.

 

On August 25, 2022, we entered into the Alterola Agreement with Alterola pursuant to which we agreed to explore a merger transaction with Alterola. Pursuant to the Alterola Agreement, the Company agreed to acquire the Initial Shares, subject to customary due diligence and applicable regulatory approvals. Additionally, pursuant to the Alterola Agreement, we received the Alterola Option to acquire all remaining issued and outstanding shares of Alterola Stock, subject to customary due diligence, and regulatory, stockholder and other necessary approvals. The Alterola Agreement provides that the parties shall use their good faith efforts to enter into a definitive agreement setting forth the binding terms of the Alterola Transaction, whereby we shall acquire all remaining Alterola Stock in exchange for an additional $6 million together with an aggregate of $40 million of shares of our common stock.

 

In accordance with the Alterola Agreement, on October 3, 2022, we entered into the Secondary SPA with the Sellers and Alterola providing for the purchase by Bright Green of the Initial Shares from the Sellers.

 

The Sellers in aggregate sold 201,761,982 shares of Alterola Stock to Bright Green for a purchase price of $3,999,999 pursuant to the payment schedule set forth in the Secondary SPA. Following the receipt of each installment payment, the Sellers agreed to loan to Alterola the proceeds such Seller received from the foregoing sale of its Alterola Stock pursuant to a loan agreement.

 

The Sellers held 67% of the total outstanding shares of Alterola Stock prior to the closing of the Secondary SPA. As a result of this transaction, Bright Green obtained ownership or voting power of approximately 25% of the total outstanding shares of Alterola Stock.

 

The Alterola Agreement provides that the parties shall use their good faith efforts to enter into a definitive agreement setting forth the binding terms of the Alterola Transaction, whereby we shall acquire all remaining Alterola Stock in exchange for an additional $6 million together with an aggregate of $40 million of shares of our common stock. However, the Alterola Agreement did not include material terms related to any proposed acquisitive transaction with Alterola and there is no guarantee that we will agree to terms or definitive documentation with Alterola in order to effect the proposed merger transaction. Further, even if we are able to agree to terms with Alterola for a merger transaction, there is no guarantee that the terms will be favorable to and approved by our stockholders, that the transaction will be completed in the time frame or in the manner currently anticipated, or that we will recognize the anticipated benefits of the transaction.

 

32

 

 

You may be diluted by issuances of additional common stock in connection with our incentive plans, acquisitions or otherwise; future sales of such shares in the public market, or the expectations that such sales may occur, could lower our stock price.

 

The Board has, subject to approval of our stockholders (i) adopted an amendment to our certificate of incorporation, as amended, to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 200,000,000 to 500,000,000, (ii) approved the issuance of a one-time stock award of an aggregate of 10,000,000 shares to our CEO and Chairman and (iii) adopted an omnibus equity incentive plan providing for the issuance, from time to time, of up to 13,547,384 shares of common stock underlying awards granted under the plan. We could issue a significant number of shares of common stock in the future in connection with investments or acquisitions. Any of these issuances could dilute our existing stockholders, and such dilution could be significant. Moreover, such dilution could have a material adverse effect on the market price for the shares of our common stock.

 

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

 

During the period from July 1, 2022 through the date hereof, the Company issued the following:

 

  9,523,810 shares of the Company’s common stock and (ii) warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 9,523,810 shares of common stock in a private placement offering with certain institutional and accredited investors. The combined purchase price of one share of common stock and accompanying warrant was $1.05.

 

The Company relied upon the exemption provided by Section 4(a)(2) and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act in connection with issuance and sale of the securities described above. The person who acquired these shares was a sophisticated investor and was provided full information regarding the Company’s business and operations. There were no general solicitations in connection with the offer or sale of these securities. The person who acquired these securities acquired them for their own account.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Nasdaq Notice Letter

 

On November 14, 2022, we received a written notification (the “Notice Letter”) from Nasdaq indicating that we were not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), as the closing bid price for our common stock was below the $1.00 per share requirement for the last 30 consecutive business days. The Notice Letter stated that we have 180 calendar days, or until May 15, 2023 (the “Initial Compliance Period”), to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. If we do not regain compliance by the end of the Initial Compliance Period, we may apply for an additional compliance period as provided for in the Notice Letter.

 

Nasdaq’s determination of whether the Company qualify for an additional compliance period will depend on whether we will meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other applicable requirements for initial listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the minimum bid price requirement, and a written notice of our intention to cure the deficiency during the additional compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary.

 

The Notice Letter has no immediate effect on the listing of our common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market. In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we can regain compliance if the closing bid price of our common stock is at least $1.00 for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days. In the event that we do not regain compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) prior to the expiration of the Initial Compliance Period (or additional compliance period, if applicable), we will receive written notification that our securities are subject to delisting.
