Clean Coal Technologies, Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of Clean Coal Technologies, Inc. (“Clean Coal”, the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in Clean Coal’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position and the results of operations for the interim period presented herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or for any future period. Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for fiscal 2019 as reported in the Form 10K have been omitted.

 

Net Income (Loss) per Common Share

 

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each year. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed similar to basic net income (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. In periods where losses are reported, the weighted-average number of common stock outstanding excludes common stock equivalents, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company realized net losses, resulting in outstanding warrants and convertible debt having an antidilutive effect. All potentially dilutive instruments were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

 

The following table summarizes the potential shares of common stock that were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 as such shares would have had an anti-dilutive effect:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements. The Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

 

NOTE 2: GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, liabilities, and commitments in the normal course of business. The accompanying financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result if Clean Coal is unable to continue as a going concern. Clean Coal has an accumulated deficit and a working capital deficit as of September 30, 2020 with no significant revenues anticipated for the near term. Management believes Clean Coal will need to raise capital in order to operate over the next 12 months. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, Clean Coal has also incurred significant losses from operations since inception. Clean Coal’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis and ultimately to attain profitability. Clean Coal has limited capital with which to pursue its business plan. There can be no assurance that Clean Coal’s future operations will be significant and profitable, or that Clean Coal will have sufficient resources to meet its objectives. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to Clean Coal’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management may pursue either debt or equity financing or a combination of both, in order to raise sufficient capital to meet Clean Coal’s financial requirements over the next twelve months and to fund its business plan. There is no assurance that management will be successful in raising additional funds.

 

 

NOTE 3: RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

 

Research and development expenses include salaries, related employee expenses, facility lease expense, research expenses and consulting fees. All costs for research and development activities are expensed as incurred. In addition, the Company expenses the costs of licenses of patents and the prosecution of patents until the issuance of such patents and the commercialization of related products is reasonably assured. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized $86,245 and $92,182 of research and development costs, respectively.

 

NOTE 4: RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

Wages and bonus payable to related parties

 

Accruals for salary and bonuses to officers and directors are included in accrued liabilities in the balance sheets and totaled $3,431,536 and $3,090,052 as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. As part of the separation agreement with Mr. Ponce de Leon, the Company agreed to pay him all his accrued salary within two years but agreed to pay him $200,000 by November 2015 out of revenues earned. As the Company did not earn revenue in 2015 and as at September 30, 2020 has still not earned revenue, the obligation to Mr. Ponce de Leon of $1,643,793 is currently in default and the amount includes $466,147 in accrued interest. It is the Company’s intention to pay Mr. Ponce de Leon immediately upon receiving revenue.

 

Convertible Debt

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company borrowed $47,300, net of beneficial conversion features of $4,150, and issued 1,250,000 shares of common stock in conversion of $100,000 principal under convertible notes payable from a Company with an interest owned by a significant stockholder.

Overview 

Over the past decade, Clean Coal Technologies, Inc. has developed processes that address what we believe are the key technology priorities of the global coal industry. We currently have three processes in our intellectual property portfolio:

 

The original process, called Pristine, is designed to remove moisture and volatile matter, rendering a high-efficiency, cleaner thermal coal.  The process has been tested successfully on bituminous and subbituminous coals, and lignite from various parts of the United States and from numerous countries around the world.

 

Our second process, called Pristine-M, is a low-cost coal dehydration technology. In tests, this process has succeeded in drying coal economically and stabilizing it using volatile matter released by the feed coal. Construction of our coal testing plant was completed in December 2015 and was successfully tested through April 2016 at AES Coal Power Utility in Oklahoma. Additional tests commenced and were completed in the fourth quarter of 2017. This test facility has been moved from AES to Wyoming where reassembly has commenced and testing of international coal is expected upon completion of the reassembly. Changes identified to the process by the University of Wyoming and our EPC contractors will be included in the reassembly and it is expected to provide a higher quality end product with a lower capital cost for a commercial unit. The reassembly is expected to be completed in Q1 2021 but is subject to potential delays due to the current pandemic.

 

Our third process, called Pristine-SA, is designed to eliminate 100% of the volatile matter in the feed coal and to achieve stable combustion by co-firing it with biomass or natural gas.  The process is expected to produce a cleaner fuel that eliminates the need for emissions scrubbers and the corollary production of toxic coal ash.  We anticipate that treated coal that is co-fired with other energy resources will burn as clean as natural gas. 

 

Anticipated Benefits of the Technology:

 

 

Reduction of undesired emissions and greenhouse gases through the removal of compounds that are not required for combustion in conventional boilers.

 

 

Cost savings and environmental impact reduction. Our pre-combustion solution is expected to be significantly less expensive than post-combustion solutions such as emissions scrubbers.  Not only are the latter prohibitively expensive, they produce coal ash containing the “scrubbed” compounds, which is dumped in toxic waste disposal sites where it may pose continuing environmental risk.  Coal treated using our processes may eliminate the need for post-combustion emissions scrubbers and the resulting toxic ash. By beneficiating the coal it requires less coal to be consumed to achieve the same energy output. This will save on transportation and handling costs and produces a dust free stabilized end product

 

 

Potential use of compounds removed from treated coal. Volatile matter captured in the Pristine process is removed in the form of hydrocarbon liquids that we believe will be easily blended with crude oil or used as feedstock for various products.  For example, sulfur, which can be removed using the Pristine process, is a basic feedstock for fertilizer.  The harvesting of hydrocarbon liquids from abundant, cheaper coal is a potentially lucrative side benefit of our processes. All coal by-products including Rare Earth Minerals extraction will be tested in the second-generation facility.

 

 

Successful testing of the Pristine M process resulted in an increase in BTU of the processed coal and a reduction in moisture content making it less expensive to transport (as moisture has been removed) with the end product being a dust free stabilized enhanced coal which we believe will address the issue of coal dust pollution during transportation.

 

 

Energy Independence.  To the extent that volatile matter is removed from coal, coal’s use as an energy resource is greatly improved, enabling the United States and other coal-rich countries to move towards energy independence owing to coal’s greater abundance. Extraction of by-products including Rare Earth Minerals is also expected to provide coal derivative product independence.

 

Development Status: 

 

Pristine process. Pristine process successfully lab tested on small scale and through advanced computer modeling. As at November, 2020, various aspects of the Pristine process were successfully tested at our test facility at the AES coal Power plant in Oklahoma as part of the overall testing of Pristine M. The second-generation facility in Wyoming is expected to perform a more detailed testing of the Pristine process.. The build out and delivery of the Rotary Kiln will enable the test facility to reach significantly higher temperatures to test with more accuracy the Pristine process.

 

Pristine-M. Testing of the Pristine M process on Powder River Basin coal at the AES facility in Oklahoma was completed in December 2017. The Pristine M process was successfully tested and the process, engineering and science were independently proven. The test facility was moved from the AES location to Wyoming where reassembly commenced in Q4 2019 and testing of international coal is expected upon completion of reassembly. The reassembly is expected to be completed in Q1 2021 but may be negatively impacted by the current pandemic. Over several months in 2018 and early 2019 the University of Wyoming independently validated the Pristine M process in their laboratory. By coating the exterior of the coal during the stabilization period with heavy hydrocarbons the process produces dust free stabilized coal for transportation.       

 

Pristine-SA process. Pristine SA process analysis is at a very early stage. Further research and development is expected using the test facility at its permanent location in Wyoming. The introduction of the Rotary Kiln and the higher temperatures it can achieve will enable a more accurate testing protocol for this process.

 

Business Outlook

 

 

Wyoming New Power, a related party company, has agreed to sign a two million ton per annum license agreement to use Pristine M at a location in Wyoming. They have paid a non-refundable $100,000 deposit on the license agreement. The definitive license agreement is expected to be signed following the receipt of commercial design which will incorporate the suggested changes proposed by the University of Wyoming and our EPC contractor. Wyoming New Power is a Related Party because it is controlled by a party that also controls the entity, which is the major lender and significant stockholder of the Company.

 

 

Jindal Steel & Power is expected to send though their coal for sampling immediately following the plants re-assembly. The bespoke commercial facility design is expected after the testing.

 

In Q2, 2019 the Company signed a non binding MOU with Universitas Indonesia in a combined effort to assess the impact of our technology on Indonesian Coal both from a coal beneficiation perspective and also coal by-products. 

 

The second-generation test facility will have the capability of producing Char. There is local Wyoming demand for this product that the company expects to sell.  

 

 

The Company entered into a partnership with the University of Wyoming with the sole focus of using our suite of technologies to increase the use of and value of Wyoming Powder River Basin coal. Primary focus is on utilizing our technology to extract valuable derivative products from coal. Changes to the process have been identified by the University and the company EPC engineers and will be incorporated in the reassembly of the facility in Wyoming. The University confirmed in Q2, 2019 that they had successfully validated the Pristine M process in their laboratory and as a result entered into an agreement with the Company. The agreement between the University and the Company is for the reassembly of the second generation test facility. The University will advance to the EPC contractor on a two to one basis. As of the date of this filing the University has advanced a total of approx. $1,200,000 directly to the manufacturer of the Rotary Kiln. The kiln and all its relevant control panels was delivered to our site at Gillette, Wyoming in August 2020.

 

 

 

The Company has been engaged with AusTrade (The Australian Trade and Investment Commission) and through that relationship has partnered with three separate universities in Australia. Like the University of Wyoming these Universities have a focus on their local coal both from a beneficiation perspective and also extracting derivative by products from coal using our technology. The Company received full Australian patents in Q2, 2019 so the company plans to move forward with this relationship in Q1, 2021 following the assembly of the second-generation test facility.

 

 

The Company continues in discussions with the Minister for Coal in India and a number of the Energy governmental bodies in India. Coal samples are expected to be sent for testing once the Second Generation Test Facility is assembled which is expected in Q1, 2021 but subject to potential delays due to the current pandemic.

 

 

Meetings occurred in Q2, 2019 with the US DOE, DOD and Wyoming State Representatives to further our technology to benefit US coal. These discussions continue through November 2020 in light of the recent coal mining bankruptcies in Wyoming.

 

In September 2020, the Company signed an MOU with Energy Capital Economic Development (“ECED”) based in Wyoming. It establishes terms and conditions under which the Company and ECED will collaborate to achieve a common goal of advancing Wyoming coal as an energy feedstock as well as valuable mineral extraction from PRB coal.

 

Employees

 

As of September 30, 2020, we had two full-time executives. President and CEO Robin Eves, Chief Operations Officer and Aiden Neary, Chief Financial Officer have written employment agreements. Messrs. Eves and Neary received no compensation for their participation on the Board of Directors.

During the three months ended September 30, 2020, we recognized total other expense of $1,159,130 compared to total other expense of $685,130 for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The $474,000 increase during the three months ended September 30, 2020 is mainly due to a $306,856 increase in the fair value of convertible note conversion options, as well as an $118,182 increase in interest expense and a $48,962 increase in debt standstill, default and extension expenses compared to the 2019 period, all a result of increases in convertible notes payable during the 2020 period.

  

Net Income/Loss

  

For the three months ended September 30, 2020, we had net loss of $1,668,538, compared to a net loss of $1,043,643 for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The $624,895 increase in net loss is due to the $474,000 increase in other expense and $150,895 increase in operating expenses, as discussed above.

 

For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019

 

Revenues

 

We have generated no revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. 

 

Operating Expenses

 

Our operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 totaled $1,094,384 compared to $1,606,979 for the nine months period in 2019, or a decrease of $512,595. The primary component of the operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was general and administrative expenses, recognizing $1,120,949, compared to $1,490,023 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The $369,104 decrease in general administrative is mainly due to the issuance of common stock for officer bonuses totaling $440,800 during the 2019 period, compared to $172,549 during the 2020 period. We also recognized a $131,539 gain of forgiveness of accounts payable during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we no such gains during the 2019 comparable period. We also recognized a $6,015 decrease in consulting services and a $5,937 decrease in research and development expenses compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

  

Other Income and Expenses

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recognized total other expense of $3,504,641, compared to $2,091,196 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The $1,413,445 increase is mainly due to a $934,548 increase in the fair value of convertible note options, as well as a $512,935 increase in interest expense, partially offset by a $34,038 decrease in debt standstill, default and extension expenses compared to the 2019 period, all a result of increases in convertible notes payable during the 2020 period.

 

Net Income/Loss

  

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we had net loss of $4,599,025, compared to $3,698,175 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The $900,850 increase in net loss is mainly due to the $1,413,445 increase in other expense, partially offset by a $512,595 decrease in operating expenses, as discussed above.

 

We anticipate losses from operations will increase during the next three months due to costs associated with moving the test plant to a permanent location, as well as anticipated increased payroll expenses as we add necessary staff and increases in legal and accounting expenses associated with maintaining a reporting company. We expect that we will continue to have net losses from operations until revenues from operating facilities become sufficient to offset operating expenses, unless we are successful in the sale of licenses for our technology once the coal testing plant testing is complete.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We have generated minimal revenues since inception. We have obtained cash for operating expenses through advances and/or loans from affiliates and stockholders, the sale of common stock, the issuance of loans and convertible debentures 

 

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities. Our primary source of operating cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, was borrowings on related party debt, third party debt and convertible debt. Our primary uses of funds in operations were the completion of the construction of the test facility including the testing of the plant, the payment of professional and consulting fees and general operating expenses.

 

 

Net cash used in operating activities, was $747,059 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $1,199,952 for the same period in 2019. The $452,893 decrease is mainly a result of $2,490,618 in adjustment items to reconcile net income to net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, a $37,219 decrease in prepaid expenses and a $313,415 increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses, offset by a $900,850 increase in net loss during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the 2019 period.

 

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 totaled $654,800, compared to $1,176,709 during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. During 2020 we received $760,000 from the issuance of convertible notes payable, $47,300 from the issuance of convertible notes payable to a related party, $30,000 in related party borrowings, paid $162,500 in principal payments on convertible debt as well as $20,000 in debt issue costs.

Cash Position and Outstanding Indebtedness

 

At September 30, 2020, we had $2,023 in current assets consisting of $23 in cash and $2,000 in prepaid expenses and $22,048,991 in liabilities, which consist of $21,528,283 in current liabilities and $520,708 in long-term liabilities. Current liabilities consist primarily of accounts payable, accrued liabilities, short-term convertible and non-convertible debt and related party convertible and non-convertible debt.

Current liabilities consist primarily of accounts payable, accrued liabilities, short-term convertible and non-convertible debt and related party convertible and non-convertible debt.

 

Our working capital deficit at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was $21,526,260 and $17,820,283, respectively.

 

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

 

 We lease office space in New York, NY on a month to month basis, at a monthly rate of $200 per month.

 

Our engineering consultants has tentatively estimated construction costs for each one million short ton coal complete cleaning facility of approximately $250 million (excluding land costs) or costs and for a similar size Pristine-M-only facility of approximately $30 -$35 million (excluding land costs). This number is expected to be reduced given proposed changes to the process design. All intellectual property rights associated with new art developed by our engineering consultants remain our property.

 

We are also actively pursuing technology license and royalty agreements in order to begin construction of other facilities without incurring the capital costs associated with the construction of future plants.

 

In November 2015, we entered into a month to month agreement with South of the Rose communication to manage our Investor Relations needs and manage social media requirements.

 

Construction of the coal testing plant was completed in 2015 and testing commenced in December 2015 at the AES Coal Power Utility in Oklahoma. As of September 30, 2020, we have paid $10,221,373 in development costs. The facility was moved to Wyoming in the first quarter of 2019. We anticipate that there will be an additional cost of approximately $4 million to build the additional parts required for the second generation test facility and for its assembly.

 

Based on our current operational costs and including the capital requirements for our project deployments, we estimate we will need a total of approximately $4,000,000 to fund the Company for the fiscal year 2020 and an additional $4,000,000 to continue for the following fiscal year (2021) or until an initial commercial plant is up and running.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have not and do not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of establishing off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. Therefore, we do not believe we are exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships.

 

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

We are exposed to changes in prevailing market interest rates affecting the return on our investments but do not consider this interest rate market risk exposure to be material to our financial condition or results of operations. We invest primarily in United States Treasury instruments with short-term (less than one year) maturities. The carrying amount of these investments approximates fair value due to the short-term maturities. Under our current policies, we do not use derivative financial instruments, derivative commodity instruments or other financial instruments to manage our exposure to changes in interest rates or commodity prices.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

As of September 30, 2020, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our financial disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to our limited internal resources and lack of ability to have multiple levels of transaction review. There is a lack of appropriate segregation of duties within the Company, no control documentation being produced, and no one to review control documentation if it was being produced. As of September 30, 2020, we had two full time officers of the company.

 

There were no changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially effect, our internal controls and procedures. We do not expect to implement any changes to our controls and procedures until there is a significant change in our operations or capital resources.
