For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 and as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017

Note 1. Basis of Presentation and Going Concern

Nature of Operations - BioHiTech Global, Inc. (the “Company” or “BioHiTech”) through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, BioHiTech America, LLC, BioHiTech Europe Limited, BHT Financial, LLC, E.N.A. Renewables LLC (formerly Entsorga North America, LLC) and New Windsor Resource Recovery LLC, (collectively “subsidiaries”) offers its customers cost-effective and technologically innovative advancements integrating technological, biological and mechanical engineering solutions for the control, reduction and / or reuse of organic and municipal waste.

Basis of Presentation - The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. It is management’s opinion, however, that the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017, which contains the audited financial statements and notes thereto, for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 included within the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 2, 2018. The financial information as of December 31, 2017 presented hereto is derived from the audited consolidated financial statements presented in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017. The interim results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018 or for any future interim periods.

Reclassifications to certain prior period amounts have been made to conform to current period presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on previously reported net loss.

Going Concern and Liquidity - For the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company had a net loss of $10,716,764, incurred a consolidated loss from operations of $2,558,557 and used net cash in consolidated operating activities of $3,750,139. For the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company had a net loss of $8,350,527, incurred a consolidated loss from operations of $6,564,070 and used net cash in consolidated operating activities of $4,772,950. At June 30, 2018, consolidated stockholders’ equity amounted to $4,246,792 and the Company had a consolidated working capital deficit of $484,699. The Company does not yet have a history of financial stability. Historically the principal source of liquidity has been the issuance of debt and equity securities. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on management’s further implementation of the Company’s on-going and strategic plans, which include continuing to raise funds through debt and/or equity raises. Should the Company be unable to raise adequate funds, certain aspects of the on-going and strategic plans may require modification.

The Company is presently in the process of raising additional debt and capital for general operations and for investment in several strategic initiatives, as well as commercial debt to support its leasing activities. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to raise sufficient debt or capital to sustain operations or to pursue other strategic initiatives.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates — The preparation of consolidated financial statements, in conformity with GAAP requires the extensive use of management’s estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Estimates are used when accounting for items and matters including, but not limited to, allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable, obsolete, slow moving and excess inventory, asset valuations, including intangibles, and useful lives, employee benefits, taxes and other provisions and contingencies.

Foreign Operations — Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates existing at the respective balance sheet dates. Income and expense items are translated at the average rates during the respective periods. Translation adjustments resulting from fluctuations in exchange rates are recorded as a separate component of other comprehensive income (loss) while transaction gains and losses are recorded in net earnings (loss). Deferred taxes are not provided on cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments as the Company presently expects foreign earnings to be permanently reinvested.

The Company pays Value Added Tax (“VAT”) or similar taxes (“input VAT”) within the normal course of its business in in the United Kingdom on merchandise and/or services it acquires. The Company also collects VAT or similar taxes on behalf of the government (“output VAT”) for merchandise and/or services it sells. If the output VAT exceeds the input VAT, then the difference is remitted to the government, usually on a monthly basis. If the input VAT exceeds the output VAT, this creates a VAT receivable. The Company either requests a refund of this VAT receivable or applies the balance to expected future VAT payables.

Product and Services Revenue Recognition — The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in "Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. The Company’s significant accounting policy relating to revenue recognition reflects the impact of the adoption of ASC 606, defined below, implemented on January 1, 2018. The Company records revenue based on a five-step model in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606"), which require that we:

1. Identify the contract with a customer;

2. Identify the performance obligations in the contract;

3. Determine the transaction price of the contract;

4. Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract;

5. Recognize revenue when the performance obligations are met or delivered.

Product sales are on terms which transfer title and risk of loss at a specified location, which may be the Company’s warehouse, a destination designated by the customer, port of loading or port of discharge, depending on the final destination of the goods. Other than standard product warranty provisions, the Company’s sales arrangements provide for no other post-shipment obligations.

Rental, service and maintenance revenues relating to the Company’s rental agreements involve providing use of the Company’s digesters at customer locations, access to our software as a service and preventative maintenance over the term. The agreements generally provide for flat monthly payments that the Company believes are consistent with our costs and obligations underlying the agreements.

Management advisory fees are based upon the passage of time and do not have any measurable performance measures that would require the Company to recognize revenues and costs other than on a passage of time and as incurred basis.

The adoption of Topic 606 did not have a material impact on the timing or amounts of revenue recognized in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and therefore did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, equity or cash flows as of the adoption date or for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. Furthermore, the Company expects the impact of the adoption of the new standard to be immaterial to our revenue and gross profit on an ongoing basis. The Company did not recognize any cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings upon adoption as the impact was immaterial. Also, the comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods.

Notes to Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 and as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017

Fair Value Measurements — Certain assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value is determined based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include long-lived assets held and used, long-lived assets held for sale, goodwill and other intangible assets. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, short-term debt and accounts payable approximate their carrying values. The three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes valuation methodologies based on the reliability of the inputs, is:

Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 — Valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 — Valuations based on unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s own assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants.

Investments in Unconsolidated Entities —The Company utilizes the equity method of accounting for investments in companies if the investment provides the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over operating and financial policies of the investee. The Company’s proportionate share of net income or loss is included in the Company’s consolidated operations as earning or loss from unconsolidated equity basis investments.

Deferred Financing Costs — Deferred financing costs relating to issued debt are included as a reduction to the applicable debt and amortized as interest expense over the term of the related debt instruments.

Income Taxes — Deferred income taxes are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities given provisions of enacted laws. Deferred income tax provisions and benefits are based on changes to the asset or liabilities from year to year. In providing for deferred taxes, the Company considers tax regulations of the jurisdictions in which it operates, estimates the future taxable income and available tax planning strategies. If tax regulations, operating results or the ability to implement tax planning and strategies vary, adjustments to the carrying value of deferred tax assets and liabilities may be required. Valuation allowances are recorded related to deferred tax assets based on the “more than likely” criteria. The majority of the deferred tax assets, which have a 100% valuation allowance, relate to net operating loss carryforwards, which may be subject to limitation under Internal Revenue Code section 382 should there be greater than a 50% ownership change as determined under the regulations.

The Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more likely than not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority.

Loss per Share — The Company computes basic loss per share using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding and diluted loss per share, while the diluted loss per share also includes the effects of dilutive instruments using the “treasury method.” Dividend attributable to preferred stock, whether declared or accrued, are deducted from income attributable to common shareholders for purposes of earnings per share.

The Company’s potential dilutive instruments include options, convertible debt and warrants. These instruments have not been considered in the calculation of diluted loss per share as they are anti-dilutive for the reported periods.

In connection with the Bonds, each member has been required to pledge their membership interest in EWV to the Bond trustee as collateral of the Bonds. While each member has pledged their membership interests to the Bond Trustee, there is no obligation that each member provide additional investment in the future or support any losses incurred.

Gold Medal Group, LLC – On January 25, 2018, the Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) to acquire 9.2% of the outstanding membership units (the “Units”) of Gold Medal Group, LLC (“GM Group”), which is the owner of a traditional waste management entity. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired the Units from two unrelated parties in consideration $2,250,000 paid through the issuance of 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”). The Purchase Agreement contains customary provisions, including representations, warranties, indemnities and “piggyback” registration rights, and closed upon the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

Also, on January 25, 2018, the Company entered into a Letter Agreement (the “Option Agreement”) with GM Group. Pursuant to the Option Agreement, ENA may purchase up to 5,000,000 additional Units of GM Group at an aggregate purchase price of $5,000,000, provided that the Company’s Common Stock, if it is still publicly traded, is listed on a national exchange, which occurred on April 9, 2018 with the Company’s listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market.

Additionally, on January 25, 2018, the Company entered into an Advisory Services Agreement (the “ASA”). Under the ASA, the Company provides services relating to corporate development, strategic planning, operational and sales oversight and other general administrative and support services in exchange for fees annually amounting to the greater of $750,000 or 10% of GM Group’s ordinary earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (ASU 2014-09). ASU 2014-09 provides guidance for revenue recognition and affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets and supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition,” and most industry-specific guidance. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is the recognition of revenue when a company transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, companies will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under the current guidance. These may include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation.  This standard has an effective date of January 1, 2018, and the Company used the modified retrospective implementation method, whereby a cumulative effect adjustment would have been recorded to retained earnings as of the date of initial application, if needed. In the initial implementation, the Company evaluated the terms, conditions and performance obligations under our existing contracts with customers and determined that a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings was not necessary, and that the new standard has not had a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Notes to Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 and as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017

The Company has not yet implemented the following recent accounting standards:

Leases — In February 2016, the FASB issued new lease accounting guidance (ASU No. 2016-02, Leases). Under the new guidance, at the commencement date, lessees will be required to recognize a lease liability, which is a lessee‘s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and a right-of use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. The new guidance is not applicable for leases with a term of 12 months or less. Lessor accounting is largely unchanged. Public business entities should apply the amendments in ASU 2016-02 for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted upon issuance. Lessees (for capital and operating leases) and lessors (for sales-type, direct financing, and operating leases) must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The modified retrospective approach would not require any transition accounting for leases that expired before the earliest comparative period presented. Lessees and lessors may not apply a full retrospective transition approach. The Company will evaluate the effects, if any, that adoption of this ASU will have on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Note 19. Subsequent Events

The Company evaluates subsequent events and transactions that occur after the balance sheet date up to the date that the financial statements are available to be issued. Any material events that occur between the balance sheet date and the date that the financial statements were available for issuance are disclosed as subsequent events, while the financial statements are adjusted to reflect any conditions that existed at the balance sheet date. Based upon this review, the Company did not identify any recognized or non-recognized subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

Overview

On August 6, 2015, BioHiTech Global, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into and consummated an Agreement of Merger and Plan of Reorganization with Swift Start Corp. and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and Bio Hi Tech America, LLC (“BHTA”), a Delaware limited liability company. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, they were merged in a reverse business combination with BHTA surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

The Company’s vision since its inception has been to disrupt the waste management industry in North America through the development and utilization of our own practices and proprietary technologies, as well as successful practices and technologies acquired from other worldwide areas, to create the next level of a commercially viable, fully integrated, sustainable waste management company. The Company offers a suite of technologies and services that can be utilized separately or in tandem. The Company provides cost-effective technologies for on-site food waste reduction and elimination as well as proprietary technology for the processing of solid waste from municipalities and large organizations through a mechanical and biological process that recovers certain recyclables, reduces weight and produces an E.P.A. recognized alternative fuel commodity, with significantly less materials destined for landfill. The Company also intends to provide traditional waste collection services in certain markets.

The Company’s initial focus was primarily on its on-going Digester business. During 2014 and 2015 the Company expanded its Eco-Safe Digester offering for mid- to large-level food waste generators through the development of technologies that transformed the digester market from just food waste diversion to one that provides information that can allow customers to reduce and eliminate or minimize their food waste through improved supply chain management and other efficiencies.

During 2016 and 2017, the Company initiated development of its Revolution Series of Digesters, a technologically advanced digester targeting smaller food waste generators, that is smaller in size, easy to install, and offered at a lower price point. The Revolution Series of Digesters became commercially available in the second half of 2017.

Also during 2016, the Company expanded from its technology-digester single product line by starting strategic initiatives in Mechanical Biological Treatment (“MBT”) facilities that rely upon High Efficiency Biological Treatment (“HEBioT”) to process waste at the municipal or enterprise level converting a significant portion of intake into an United States EPA recognized alternative commodity fuel.

During 2017, the Company initiated strategic activities relating to traditional waste management and recycling service.

On January 25, 2018, the Company made its initial investment in a traditional waste management and recycling company, with primary operations in the Southern New Jersey and Eastern Pennsylvania markets.

The combination of traditional waste and recycling collection, on-site digester and the facility based HEBioT technology results in a unique offering that provides a turn-key solution for customers seeking to achieve zero waste. The Company envisions use of its digesters for disposal of food waste at certain retail customer’s locations, with regional disposal services being directed to the Company’s HEBioT facilities. This cost-effective solution can result in less than 20% of each customer’s waste being directed to landfills, hence resulting in a near-zero footprint.

Results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2018

compared to the three months ended June 30, 2017

Revenue by Type

The following table breaks down our revenue by type: 

Total revenue increased by $359,920, or 65.5%, from the three months ended June 30, 2017 to the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in Revenues was a result of a $92,031, or 25.1% increase in rental, service and maintenance revenue, a $17,233, or 9.5% increase in equipment sales and a $250,656 increase in management advisory and consulting fees, which were new in 2018. The increase in rental, service and maintenance is primarily the result of a larger overall number of deployed units that has led to a 27.0% increase in our total rental revenues, which accounted for 57.9% of the category for the three months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to 57.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 61.2% of the overall category increase. The total number of digester units under lease as of June 30, 2018 was 151, as compared to 96 digester units deployed as of June 30, 2017 and 91 units as of December 31, 2017, increases of 57.3% and 65.9%, respectively.

Management advisory fees reflect an agreement with Gold Medal Holdings, Inc., which the Company co-invested with Kinderhook Industries on January 25, 2018. The agreement provides that the Company will provide “C” level and other management services and environmental and safety related oversight, which the Company has utilized existing its existing management team to provide. The agreement provides for an annual fee of 10% of Gold Medal’s adjusted EBITDA with a minimum annual fee of $750,000. In addition to the management advisory services, the Company has also provided other project-based services.

Cost of Revenue

The following table breaks down our cost of revenue by type:

Cost of revenue mainly consists the cost of acquiring digester units that are sold, and depreciation, warehousing, installation, maintenance, parts and shipping costs, as well as related salary and employee costs related to rental units. Total costs of revenue increased by $45,158, or 11.9%, from the three months ended June 30, 2017 to the three months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due an increase in gross margin from our rental, service and maintenance services and a decrease in the margin from our equipment sales.

Rental, service and maintenance costs of revenue increased by $16,258, or 6.0% (as compared to a 25.1% increase in rental, service and maintenance revenue) from the three months ended June 30, 2017 to the three months ended June 30, 2018. Included in the total costs were:

Labor related costs increased by $10,497, or 15.6%, from the three months ended June 30, 2017 to the three months ended June 30, 2018 primarily due to increased staffing to support the number of units in service. Depreciation increased 25.7% from the three months ended June 30, 2017 to the three months ended June 30, 2018, due to the increase in the number of units leased. Contracted services decreased by $3,093, or 7.7%, from the three months ended June 30, 2017 to the three months ended June 30, 2018 primarily due to changes in the nature of services required by our national based contracts that require contractor utilization for areas not covered by the Company’s in-house staff. Parts and maintenance supplies decreased by $8,987 or 9.4% due the favorable serviceability of the new Revolution Series of digesters introduced in 2017.

Equipment sales cost of revenue increased by $28,900, or 27.1%, from the three months ended June 30, 2017 to the three months ended June 30, 2018 due to sales to international resellers and a decrease in direct equipment sales as a result of the Company’s emphasis on rental units.

Gross Profit and Margin

The following table breaks down our gross profit by type:

The following table breaks down our gross margin by type:

Rental, service and maintenance gross margin improved from 25.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2017 to 37.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2018. This improvement was the result of changes in demand and improved utilization of fixed costs and semi-fixed costs.

Equipment sales gross margin decreased from 41.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2017 to 32.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2018. This decreased rate was primarily driven by a decrease in direct sales resulting in the majority of sales through resellers that have a lower gross margin rate than direct sales.

Management advisory fees margin was 100% as the Company is providing the services with its existing management team as part of our holistic management of the Company towards its strategic goal of significant reduction in waste in landfills. As the Company has not incurred any additional variable costs associated with the services, nor has the management of the Company been negatively impacted by these additional services, the Company does not allocate any costs to these services.

Operating expenses

The following table breaks down our operating expenses by type:

Total operating expenses decreased by $49,019, or 2.9% from three months ended June 30, 2017 to the three months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to increased selling, general and administrative expenses offset, in part by decreased professional fees.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $265,971, or 25.2%, from three months ended June 30, 2017 to the three months ended June 30, 2018. The following table breaks down the major categories of selling, general and administrative expenses:

Personnel, the largest component of selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 3.0% from the three months ended June 30, 2017 to the three months ended June 30, 2018. Other expenses, which represents 65.8% of the total increase in selling, general and administrative expenses from the three months ended June 30, 2017 to the three months ended June 30, 2018, include a $119,086 increase in foreign currency exchange expense due to unhedged positions between the head office and the UK operations, and also a $40,919 increase in other fees, primarily resulting from the Company’s uplisting. Sales and marketing, which increased by $50,744 or 36.5% from the three months ended June 30, 2017 to the three months ended June 30, 2018, included a one-time charge of $45,000 for our Nasdaq initiation fee.

Research and development expenses decreased by $21,692, or 10.0%, from three months ended June 30, 2017 to the three months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to a $14,990 decrease in stock-based compensation expense, a $8,657 decrease in external services relating to R&D, offset by an increase in staffing costs.

Professional fees decreased by $195,073, or 53.6% from three months ended June 30, 2017 to the three months ended June 30, 2018. The following table breaks down the major categories of professional fees:

Professional fees expense decreased primarily due to a decrease of $219,656 in investor relations and marketing consulting offset in-part by a $20,619 increase in legal fees that were driven by the level and complexity of the transactions occurring during the second quarter of 2018.

Other (expense) income

Other expense increased by $3,882,815 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 over the three months ended June 30, 2017. This increase is primarily driven by $3,506,027 in interest expense driven by the valuation of warrants associated with the conversion of the Series B and D convertible notes, which were issued with 100% warrant coverage based upon the number and pricing of shares that the notes converted into and by other conversions. At the time of issuing the notes and warrants the conversion price and thus, the number and exercise price of warrants was not known at the time of raising debt, accordingly the warrants were valued upon conversion. Other expense also increased due to an increase of $141,161 in the equity losses, primarily driven by our recent investment in Gold Medal Group, Inc. A large amount of these initial losses recorded were related to acquisition and other related expenses.

Income tax

For the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 there was no net provision for income tax due to the losses incurred and management’s evaluation of the recovery of the tax asset resulting in net operating loss carry-forward.

The Tax Cuts & Jobs Act (“TCJA”) was enacted in December 2017. Among other things, the TCJA reduces the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%. The result of the TCJA was to reduce gross deferred tax assets and the corresponding valuation allowance resulting in no net changes in financial position or in the overall tax provision.

Results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2018

Revenue by Type

The following table breaks down our revenue by type: 

Total revenue increased by $414,966, or 36.4%, from the six months ended June 30, 2017 to the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in Revenues was a result of a $173,988, or 24.0% increase in rental, service and maintenance revenue and a $390,039 increase in management advisory fees, which were new in 2018, offset in-part by a $149,061, or 36.0% decrease in equipment sales. The increase in rental, service and maintenance is primarily the result of a larger overall number of deployed units that has led to a 34.4% increase in our total rental revenues, which accounted for 61.5% of the category for the six months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to 56.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 81.4% of the overall category increase. This increase in rental, service and maintenance revenues was offset by a decrease of $149,061 in revenue derived from equipment sales reflecting the Company’s continued focus on the rental market and, to a lesser extent, a decrease reseller activity in certain international markets. The total number of digester units under lease as of June 30, 2018 in was 151, as compared to 96 digester units deployed as of June 30, 2017 and 91 units as of December 31, 2017, increases of 57.3% and 65.9%, respectively.

Management advisory fees reflect an agreement with Gold Medal Holdings, Inc., which the Company co-invested with Kinderhook Industries on January 25, 2018. The agreement provides that the Company will provide “C” level and other management services and environmental and safety related oversight, which the Company has utilized existing its existing management team to provide. The agreement provides for an annual fee of 10% of Gold Medal’s adjusted EBITDA with a minimum annual fee of $750,000. In addition to the management advisory services, the Company has also provided other project based services.

Total costs of revenue increased by $16,237, or 2.1%, from the six months ended June 30, 2017 to the six months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to the change in mix of revenue between rental, service and maintenance and equipment sales which decreased by $149,061, or 36.0%, from the six months ended June 30, 2017 to the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Rental, service and maintenance costs of revenue increased by $55,887, or 10.5% (as compared to a 24.0% increase in rental, service and maintenance revenue) from the six months ended June 30, 2017 to the six months ended June 30, 2018. Included in the total costs were:

Labor related costs increased by $27,937, or 22.7%, from the six months ended June 30, 2017 to the six months ended June 30, 2018 primarily due to increased staffing to support the number of units in service. Depreciation increased 19.7% from the six months ended June 30, 2017 to the six months ended June 30, 2018, due to the increase in the number of units leased. Contracted services increased by $15,734, or 20.0%, from the six months ended June 30, 2017 to the six months ended June 30, 2018 primarily due to large national based contracts that require contractor utilization for areas not covered by the Company’s in-house staff. Parts and maintenance supplies decreased by $16,089 or 8.7% due the favorable serviceability of the new Revolution Series of digesters introduced in 2017.

Equipment sales cost of revenue decreased by $39,650, or 16.6%, from the six months ended June 30, 2017 to the six months ended June 30, 2018 due to an overall 36.0% decrease in equipment sales resulting from the Company’s emphasis on rental units and lower than direct re-seller margins.

Gross Profit and Margin

The following table breaks down our gross profit by type:

The following table breaks down our gross margin by type:

Rental, service and maintenance gross margin improved from 26.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 to 34.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2018. This improvement was the result of changes in demand and improved utilization of fixed costs and semi-fixed costs.

Equipment sales gross margin decreased from 42.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 to 24.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2018. This decreased rate was primarily driven by an increase in the proportion of sales to resellers and of used units, which were the result of existing customers at lease-end upgrading to new leases on newer versions of our digesters, sold lower margins.

Management advisory fees margin was 100% as the Company is providing the services with its existing management team as part of our holistic management of the Company towards its strategic goal of significant reduction in waste in landfills. As the Company has not incurred any additional variable costs associated with the services, nor has the management of the Company been negatively impacted by these additional services, the Company does not allocate any costs to these services.

Operating expenses

The following table breaks down our operating expenses by type:

Total operating expenses decreased by $271,801, or 7.6% from six months ended June 30, 2017 to the six months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to decreased professional fees.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $292,914, or 13.8%, from six months ended June 30, 2017 to the six months ended June 30, 2018. The following table breaks down the major categories of selling, general and administrative expenses:

Personnel, the largest component of selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 3.0% from the six months ended June 30, 2017 to the six months ended June 30, 2018. Other expenses, which represents 42.3% of the total increase in selling, general and administrative expenses from the six months ended June 30, 2017 to the six months ended June 30, 2018, include a $91,590 increase in foreign currency exchange expense due to unhedged positions between the head office and the UK operations, and also a $45,388 increase in other fees, primarily resulting from the Company’s uplisting. Sales and marketing, which increased by $81,180 or 33.3% from the six months ended June 30, 2017 to the six months ended June 30, 2018, included a one-time charge of $45,000 for our Nasdaq initiation fee.

Research and development expenses decreased by $7,638, or 1.9%, from six months ended June 30, 2017 to the six months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to a decrease in outside services utilized in R&D.

Professional fees decreased by $557,834, or 55.0% from six months ended June 30, 2017 to the six months ended June 30, 2018. The following table breaks down the major categories of professional fees:

Professional fees expense decreased primarily due to a decrease of $669,677 in investor relations and market consulting offset in-part by a $167,661 increase in legal and audit and accounting that were driven by the level and complexity of the transactions occurring during the first half of 2018.

Other (expense) income

Other expense increased by $7,479,860 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 over the six months ended June 30, 2017. This increase is primarily driven by $6,799,640 in interest expense driven by the valuation of warrants associated with the conversion of the Series A, B and D convertible notes, which were issued with 100% warrant coverage based upon the number and pricing of shares that the notes converted into and by other conversions. At the time of issuing the notes and warrants the conversion price and thus, the number and exercise price of warrants was not known at the time of raising debt, accordingly the warrants were valued upon conversion. The interest arising from this valuation is not a cash expense as it results in a corresponding increase in additional paid in capital. Other expense also increased due to an increase of $186,574 in the equity losses, primarily driven by our recent investment in Gold Medal Group, Inc. A large amount of these initial losses recorded were related to acquisition and other related expenses.

Income tax

For the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 there was no net provision for income tax due to the losses incurred and management’s evaluation of the recovery of the tax asset resulting in net operating loss carry-forward.

The Tax Cuts & Jobs Act (“TCJA”) was enacted in December 2017. Among other things, the TCJA reduces the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%. The result of the TCJA was to reduce gross deferred tax assets and the corresponding valuation allowance resulting in no net changes in financial position or in the overall tax provision.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company had a net loss of $10,716,764, incurred a consolidated loss from operations of $2,558,557 and used net cash in consolidated operating activities of $3,750,139. For the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company had a net loss of $8,350,527, incurred a consolidated loss from operations of $6,564,070 and used net cash in consolidated operating activities of $4,772,950. At June 30, 2018 consolidated stockholders’ equity amounted to $4,246,792 and the Company had a consolidated working capital deficit of $484,699. At December 31, 2017, consolidated stockholders’ deficit amounted to $11,016,724 and the Company had a consolidated working capital deficit of $1,755,061. The Company does not yet have a history of financial stability driven by operational profits. Historically, the principal source of liquidity has been the issuance of debt and equity securities. These factors raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Cash

As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had cash balances of $1,053,028 and $901,112, respectively.

Our management carried out an evaluation, with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”).

Based on their evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this report to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit 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 us in our reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Because of our limited operations we have a small number of employees which prohibits a segregation of duties. As we grow and expand our operations we will engage additional employees and experts as needed. However, there can be no assurance that our operations will expand.

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

There have not been any significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
