Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements |
For the Three and Months Ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 and as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 |
Note 1. Basis of Presentation and Going Concern
Nature of Operations - BioHiTech Global, Inc. (the “Company” or “BioHiTech”) through its wholly-owned and its controlled subsidiaries provides cost-effective and sustainable environmental management solutions.
Our cost-effective technology solutions include the patented processing of municipal solid waste into a valuable renewable fuel, biological disposal of food waste on-site, and proprietary real-time data analytics tools to reduce food waste generation. Our solutions enable businesses and municipalities of all sizes to lower disposal costs while having a positive impact on the environment. When used individually or in combination, our solutions lower the carbon footprint associated with waste transportation and can reduce or virtually eliminate landfill usage.
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) as a pandemic which continues to spread throughout the United States and globally. The Company is monitoring the near term and longer term impacts of COVID-19 and the related business and travel restrictions and changes to behavior intended to reduce its spread, and its impact on operations, financial position, cash flows, inventory, supply chains, purchasing trends, customer payments, and the industry in general, in addition to the impact on its employees. Due to the rapid development and fluidity of this situation, the magnitude and duration of the pandemic and its impact on the Company’s operations, liquidity and financial performance will depend on certain developments, including duration, spread and reemergence of the outbreak, its impact on our customers, supply chain partners and employees, and the range of governmental and community reactions to the pandemic, which are uncertain and cannot be fully predicted at this time.
As a result of COVID-19 the implementation of the Company’s contract with Carnival Corporation has been delayed and the operations of some customers in the restaurant and hospitality industries have been temporarily interrupted due to governmental actions. For certain existing restaurant and hospitality customers, the Company has provided a deferral of recurring rental payments for a short time and have modified the rental agreements to extend the term by the period deferred. These actions have placed a strain on the Company’s cash flows resulting in the Company executing on cost controls and cash preservation practices that have included reducing executive cash compensation, laying off non-essential employees, limiting expenses and disbursements, as well as extending vendor payments.
Basis of Presentation - The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned and controlled subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. 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, and the elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions 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, 2019, which contains the audited financial statements and notes thereto, for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 included within the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on May 22, 2020. The financial information as of December 31, 2019 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, 2019. The interim results for the three months ended March 31, 2020 is not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020 or for any future interim periods.
As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company’s active wholly-owned subsidiaries were BioHiTech America, LLC, BioHiTech Europe Limited, BHT Financial, LLC and E.N.A. Renewables LLC, and its controlled subsidiary was Refuel America LLC (60%) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Apple Valley Waste Technologies Buyer, Inc., Apple Valley Waste Technologies, LLC, New Windsor Resource Recovery LLC and Rensselaer Resource Recovery LLC and its controlled subsidiary Entsorga West Virginia LLC (88.7%, 88.7% and 78.2% as of March 31, 2020, December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2019, respectively). As each of these subsidiaries operate as environmental-based service companies, we did not deem segment reporting necessary.
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 three months March 31, 2020, the Company had a consolidated net loss of $3,393,974, incurred a consolidated loss from operations of $2,393,950 and used net cash in consolidated operating activities of $2,515,474. At March 31, 2020, consolidated total stockholders’ equity amounted to $5,787,541, consolidated stockholders’ equity attributable to parent amounted to $1,264,636 and the Company had a consolidated working capital deficit of $11,913,331. While the Company had not met certain of its senior secured note’s financial covenants as of March 31, 2020 (Note 6), subsequent to that date the Company has favorably renegotiated those covenants and has received a waiver for such non-compliance through June 30, 2020 as it continues to negotiate further extension of that waiver. Despite its current compliance under the waiver, until such time as the Company regains compliance or receives a waiver of such covenants for a year beyond the balance sheet date, under current GAAP accounting rules the senior secured notes amounting to $4,241,578 have been classified as current debt. The Company does not yet have a history of financial profitability. The Company does not have firm commitments to fund its future operational and strategic plans although it is presently in the process of raising additional debt for general operations and to support its leasing activities. The Company has used its Shelf Registration on Form S-3 during September 2019 to raise net proceeds of $3,035,557 through a confidentially marketed public offering of common shares, has raised $1,495,450 through a private convertible preferred stock offering in March 2020 and subsequent to March 31, 2020 one of the Company’s subsidiaries was funded $421,300 on May 13, 2020 through the Paycheck Protection Program.. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to raise sufficient capital or debt to sustain operations or to pursue other strategic initiatives or that such financing will be on terms that are favorable to the Company. 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 equity and/or debt raises. Should the Company be unable to raise adequate funds, certain aspects of the on-going and strategic plans may require modification.

Michaelson Senior Secured Term Promissory Financing — Company and several of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries have a Note Purchase and Security Agreement with Michaelson Capital Special Finance Fund II, L.P. (“ MCSFF ”) for a senior secured term promissory note in the principal amount of $5,000,000 (the “Note”). The Note is not convertible and accrues interest at the rate of 10.25% per annum. The Note provides for certain financial covenants that were not met as of March 31, 2020. While the Company had not met certain of its senior secured note’s financial covenants as of March 31, 2020, subsequent to that date the Company has favorably renegotiated those covenants and has received a waiver for such non-compliance through June 30, 2020 as it continues to negotiate further extension of that waiver. Despite its current compliance under the waiver, until such time as the Company regains compliance or receives a waiver of such covenants for a year beyond the balance sheet date, under current GAAP accounting rules the senior secured notes amounting to $4,241,578 have been classified as current debt. As of December 31, 2019 those certain financial covenants were not met and a waiver of such was granted by MCSFF through January 1, 2021 with the condition that the parties negotiate new financial covenants, which were concluded subsequent to March 31, 2020. As of December 31, 2019, the Note has been classified based on the contractual repayment schedule.

At times, the Company’s cash may be uninsured or in deposit accounts that exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) in the USA and the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) in the UK insurance limits. Through March 31, 2020, the Company had not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.

It is management’s opinion that the resolution of this known claim will not materially affect the Company’s future financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
From time to time, the Company may be involved in other legal matters arising in the ordinary course of business. While the Company believes that such matters are currently not material, there can be no assurance that matters arising in the ordinary course of business for which the Company is, or could be, involved in litigation, will not have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations
Note 13. Leases
Effective January 1, 2019, the Company implemented Accounting Standards Codification 842, Leases. The Company utilized the optional transition method to assess the impact of this guidance on the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures, including the increase in the assets and liabilities on our balance sheet from lessee perspective. The Company completed a comprehensive review of its leases that were impacted by the new guidance. As part of the adoption, the Company elected the ‘package of practical expedients,’ which permits the Company not to reassess under the new standard the Company’s prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs, therefore the Company did not restate prior comparative periods.
The Company rents its headquarters and attached warehousing space from a related party (see Note 14) and has a land lease relating to the Martinsburg, WV HEBioT facility under operating leases. The HEBioT facility land lease has an initial term of 30 years, plus four 5-year extensions. For purposes of our determination of lease liabilities, extensions were not included. As the leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company used incremental borrowing rates in determining the present value of lease payments. For the HEBioT facility land lease a rate of 11% was utilized and a rate of 10.25% was used on the other leases. The current portion of the lease liabilities of $121,510 is included in accrued expenses and liabilities. Total lease costs under operating leases amounted to $55,356 and $67,532 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Maturities of lease liabilities under these leases, which have a weighted average remaining term of 25.6 years, as of March 31, 2020 is:
Year Ending December 31, | ||||
2020 (remaining) | $ | 95,521 | ||
2021 | 109,000 | |||
2022 | 113,000 | |||
2023 | 113,000 | |||
2024 and thereafter | 2,980,750 | |||
Total lease payments | 3,411,271 | |||
Less imputed interest | (2,372,788 | ) | ||
Present value of lease liabilities | $ | 1,038,483 |
The Company operating cash flows for operating leases amounting to $51,406 and $46,034 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Note 14. Related Party Transactions

The application amounting to $421,300 was approved and was funded on May 13, 2020. The forgiveness of the loan attendant to these funds, is dependent on the Company qualifying for the forgiveness of such loan based on its future adherence to the forgiveness criteria.

Impact of COVID-19
The Company’s operations and business have experienced disruption due to the unprecedented conditions surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic spreading throughout the United States and the world. Due to the timing of initial and evolving governmental orders and guidelines impacting the Company’s financial operations in New York, and West Virginia, as well as other contributors to the process of financial statement preparation in other U.S. states, relating to social distancing, stay in place orders, travel and other restrictions on business, necessary and immediate access of personnel, records and information have been adversely effected as set forth throughout this report.
Company Overview
The Company’s mission is to reduce the environmental impact of the waste management industry through the development and deployment of cost-effective technology solutions. The Company’s suite of technologies includes on-site biological processing equipment for food waste, patented processing facilities for the conversion of municipal solid waste into an E.P.A. recognized renewable fuel, and proprietary real-time data analytics tools to reduce food waste generation. These unique proprietary solutions may enable certain businesses and municipalities of all sizes to lower disposal costs while having a positive impact on the environment. When used individually or in combination, the Company’s solutions can reduce the carbon footprint associated with waste transportation, repurpose non-recyclable plastics, and significantly reduce landfill usage.
Revolution Series™ Digesters
The Company currently markets an aerobic digestion technology solution for the disposal of food waste at the point of generation. Its line of Revolution Series Digesters have been described as self-contained, robotic digestive systems that are as easy to install as a standard dishwasher with no special electrical or plumbing requirements. Units range in size depending upon capacity, with the smallest unit approximately the size of a residential washing machine. The digesters utilize a biological process to convert food waste into a liquid that is safe to discharge down an ordinary drain. This process can result in a substantial reduction in costs for customers including restaurants, grocery stores, cruise lines and hotel/hospitality companies by eliminating the transportation and logistics costs associated with food waste disposal. The process also reduces the greenhouse gases associated with food-waste transportation and decomposition in landfills that have been linked to climate change. The Company offers its Revolution Series Digesters in several sizes targeting small to mid-sized food waste generators with both sale and rental options that are often more economical than traditional disposal methods. The Revolution Series Digesters are manufactured and assembled in the United States.
In an effort to expand the capabilities of its digesters, the Company developed a sophisticated IoT technology platform to provide its customers with transparency into their waste generation and operational practices. This patented process collects weight related data from the digesters to deliver real-time data that provides valuable information that when analyzed, can improve efficiency and validate corporate sustainability efforts. The Company provides its IoT platform through a SaaS (“Software as a Service”) model that is either bundled in its rental agreements or sold through a separate annual software license. Prior to the launch of its Revolution Series Digesters, the Company marketed earlier generations of its digesters under the Eco-Safe brand. These units were larger sized and typically marketed to mid- and large-sized food waste generators, including the Federal Government. The Company continues to add new capacity sizes to its line of Revolution Series Digesters to meet customer needs.
On January 30, 2020 the Company announced a purchase contract to provide its Revolution Series of Digesters to Carnival Corporation that the Company estimated with a value of $14 million over a two-year period. Leading up to that contract, the Company had been scaling its core infrastructure in anticipation of the fulfillment of that contract. As a result of COVID-19, Carnival Corporation has temporarily ceased ocean-going operations in North America through September 30, 2020, and as a result of current uncertainties, the implementation of the sales and services under this contract has been delayed. The contract remains in force and the Company anticipates that sales and services under this contract will resume as the uncertainties surrounding COVID-19 are resolved in the coming months.

HEBioT Resource Recovery Technology
The Company expanded its technology business in 2016 through the acquisition of certain development rights to a patented Mechanical Biological Treatment (“MBT”) technology developed by a European engineering firm that relies upon High Efficiency Biological Treatment (“HEBioT”) to process waste at the municipal or enterprise level. The technology results in a substantial reduction in landfill usage by converting a significant portion of intake, including organic waste and non-recyclable plastics, into a United States EPA recognized alternative fuel that can be used as a partial replacement for coal. The company is currently exploring additional uses for its Solid recovered fuel (“SRF”) such as fuel for cogeneration and as a feedstock for bio-plastics.
The Company also, through a series of transactions in 2017 and 2018, acquired a controlling interest in the Nation’s first municipal waste processing facility utilizing the HEBioT technology located in Martinsburg, West Virginia (the “Martinsburg Facility”). The Martinsburg Facility, which commenced operations in 2019, is capable of processing up to 110,000 tons of mixed municipal waste annually. At full capacity, the Martinsburg Facility can achieve an annual savings of over 2.3 million cubic feet of landfill space and eliminate many of the greenhouse gases associated with landfilling that waste. The Company plans to build additional HEBioT facilities in the coming years and is currently in the permitting process to build a second facility in New York State.
Combined Offering
The Company’s suite of products and services positions it as a leading provider of cost-effective, technology-based alternatives to traditional waste disposal in the United States. The use of the Company’s technology solutions independently or in combination, can help its customers meet sustainability goals by achieving a significant reduction in greenhouse gases associated with waste transportation and landfilling. In addition, the repurposing of municipal waste into a cleaner burning, EPA recognized, renewable fuel can further reduce potentially harmful emissions associated with traditional means of disposal. The overall reduction in carbon and other greenhouse gases that are linked to climate change that could be achieved through the utilization of the Company’s technology can serve as a model for the future of waste disposal in the United States.
New Product Offering
In addition to the Company’s products focused on reducing the environmental impact of the waste management industry through the development and deployment of cost-effective technology solutions, as a result of symmetry with our customers and prospects and a new demand for post COVID environmental technologies, on May 12, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement with Altapure, LLC (“Altapure”). Altapure is a technology developer and manufacturer of ultrasonic based disinfecting products, to distribute its patented line of environmentally-friendly, high-level disinfecting products, including its newest product, the AP-4™, an enhanced, automated and touchless high-level disinfection sub-micron aerosol system providing a safe process and rapid kill of spores, viruses, and vegetative bacteria, such as but not limited to: COVID-19, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, VRE, MRSA, Bacillus atrophaeus, Geobacillus stearothermophilus, Polio virus, C. auris and Clostridium difficile (C. difficile); and commenced live product demonstrations in June 2020.

Net loss | $ | (3,393,974 | ) | $ | (2,261,167 | ) |
Revenue increased $621,640 (84.3%) due to the HEBioT facility coming on-line in the second quarter of 2019 and an increase in digester equipment sales, which is the result of a strategic focus on sales as compared to rentals. These increases were offset by decreases in rental, service and maintenance resulting from lower service and maintenance revenue and management advisory fees as the Company reduces the level of support provided under the agreement in order to maintain adequate focus on the Company’s core services.
Operating expenses increased by $1,094,287 (41.2%) due to HEBioT facility costs, including depreciation, as well as increased costs associated with digester equipment sales resulting from the increase in sales and rental, service and maintenance due to increased staffing prior to the onset of COVID-19 as the Company scaled its core infrastructure in anticipation of executing a contract with Carnival Corporation, which was announced on January 30, 2020. The increases were offset by a decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses primarily due to a first quarter 2019 write-off of a HEBioT site that was discontinued in favor of a larger more suitable site.
The loss from operations increased by $472,647 (24.6%) as a result of increased operating expenses increasing greater than the increase in revenues.
Other expenses increased by $660,160 (194.2%) primarily due to interest related to the non-recourse municipal bond financing the HEBioT facility which was under construction in the first quarter of 2019.
Net loss increased by $1,132,807 (50.1%) due to the increase in operating loss and the increase in other expenses.

HEBioT – The HEBioT facility commenced operations in the second quarter of 2019. During the first quarter of 2020 the facility was ramping up in-take volumes of waste, however the primary customer for the facility’s solid recovered fuel (“SRF”) had not yet completed its construction of their fuel intake system that would allow for the delivery of SRF. Toward the end of the first quarter in 2020 the customer was finalizing safety and building inspections that would allow for acceptance of the SRF. During the first quarter of 2020, the operating costs of the facility exceeded revenues due to the operating of the facility and higher disposal costs related to excess SRF that was not able to be delivered to the Company’s secondary SRF customer.
23 |
Rental, service and maintenance – Rental revenue increased by $44,590 (13.1%) to $386,254 in the first quarter of 2020, as compared to $341,664 in the first quarter of 2019. This increase was the result of an increase in the number of rental units. Service and maintenance revenue decreased by $61,198 (41.9%) to $84,838 in the first quarter of 2020, as compared to $146,036 in the first quarter of 2019. This decrease continues the trend of lower maintenance and service levels due to the newer Revolution Series of digesters. Rental, service and maintenance expenses increased by $57,632 (28.4%) primarily due to a staffing increase in preparation for the execution on the contract with Carnival Cruise Lines, which as a result of COVID-19 was delayed. Staffing costs increased by $46,406 (78.7%) to $105,371 in the first quarter of 2020, as compared to $58,965 in the first quarter of 2019. All other expenses increased by $11,226 (7.8%) to $155,464 in the first quarter of 2020, as compared to $144,238 in the first quarter of 2019 primarily due to an increase in consumables offset by third party repair expenses.
Equipment sales – Equipment sales revenue increased by $323,116 (100.0%) as compared to no sales in the first quarter of 2019. Sales expense, like wise increased by $146,404 (100.0%) as compared to no sales in the first quarter of 2019. The contribution margin of 54.7% is in-line with historical rates. The Company began a shift in its deployment model to be more heavily weighted to sales versus rentals in the first quarter of 2020 and believes this trend will continue.
Management advisory and other fees – In order to maintain adequate focus on the Company’s core services as demand continues to grow for the Company’s products, it has reduced the level of support provided under the Management Advisory agreement. As a result, management advisory and other fees decreased by $175,000 (70.0%) to $75,000 in the first quarter of 2020, as compared to $250,000 in the first quarter of 2019. Effective April 1, 2020, the fee was further reduced to $100,000 per year. As the services are provided by the executive management of the Company, no incremental expenses are incurred or allocated as expenses of the services.

Staffing – Staffing expense decreased by $116,973 (9.8%) to $1,078,535 in the first quarter of 2020, as compared to $1,195,508 in the first quarter of 2019. This decrease was the result of a decrease in general staffing of $108,663 (14.2%), a decrease in stock based compensation of $15,105 (5.2%) offset in-part by an increase in employee fringe and taxes of $6,795 (4.9%).
Professional fees – Professional fees decreased by $111,561 (29.4%) to $268,395 in the first quarter of 2020, as compared to $379,956 in the first quarter of 2019. This decrease was the result of a decrease in legal expenses of $73,634 (47.4%) to $81,684 in the first quarter of 2020, as compared to $155,318 in the first quarter of 2019; a decrease in accounting expenses of $63,961 (37.6%) to $106,312 in the first quarter of 2020, as compared to $170,273 in the first quarter of 2019; a decrease in investment banking expenses of $21,275 (39.3%) to $32,800 in the first quarter of 2020, as compared to $54,075 in the first quarter of 2019; offset by an increase in public relations and marketing expenses of $47,309 to $47,599 in the first quarter of 2020, as compared to $290 in the first quarter of 2019. The decrease in legal and accounting was the result of a lower volume of acquisitions in 2020 than at the start of 2019 and the decrease in investment banking expenses was a shift to public relations and marketing.
Other costs – Other costs decreased by $258,719 (59.4%) to $176,663 in the first quarter of 2020, as compared to $435,382 in the first quarter of 2019. This decrease was the result of a non-recurring loss on the write-off of a HEBioT facility site amounting to $346,654 in the first quarter of 2019 that was discontinued in favor of a larger more suitable site, a decrease in equipment research & development of $7,120 (32.6%) offset primarily by increases of $77,124 (220.7%) in foreign currency fluctuations in the UK that are not hedged to $112,066 in the first quarter of 2020, as compared to $34,942 in the first quarter of 2019 and an increase of $16,154 (107.7%) in bad debt expense to $31,154 in the first quarter of 2020, as compared to $15,000 in the first quarter of 2019 relating to increased credit risks resulting from COVID-19.
Other expenses – Other expenses, which include marketing and other fees and services increased by $79,314 (25.1%) to $394,830 in the first quarter of 2020, as compared to $315,516 in the first quarter of 2019. This increase was primarily due to an increase of $73,900 (410.6%) in the contracted business services administration fee charged by Gold Medal to Entsorga West Virginia to $91,900 in the first quarter of 2020, as compared to $18,000 in the first quarter of 2019. The increase in fee is the result of a step-up in the monthly fee from when the facility was under construction to when it became operational.
24 |
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization increased by $485,763 (375.3%) to $615,202 in the first quarter of 2020, as compared to $129,439 in the first quarter of 2019. This increase was primarily the result of the HEBioT facility becoming operational in the second quarter of 2019, as no depreciation and amortization was expensed while the facility was under construction. For the first quarter of 2020, depreciation and amortization related to the HEBioT facility was $490,469.
Other Expenses
Other expenses during the first quarter of 2020 and 2019 were comprised of interest income and expense. Other expense increased by $660,160 (194.2%) to $1,000,024 in the first quarter of 2020, as compared to $339,864 in the first quarter of 2019. This increase was primarily the result of the HEBioT facility becoming operational with interest being expensed, rather than capitalized into the facility. HEbioT related interest increased by $623,921 to $651,796 in the first quarter of 2020, as compared to $27,875 in the first quarter of 2019.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
For the three months March 31, 2020, the Company had a consolidated net loss of $3,393,974, incurred a consolidated loss from operations of $2,393,950 and used net cash in consolidated operating activities of $2,515,474. At March 31, 2020, consolidated total stockholders’ equity amounted to $5,787,541, consolidated stockholders’ equity attributable to parent amounted to $1,264,636 and the Company had a consolidated working capital deficit of $11,913,331. While the Company had not met certain of its senior secured note’s financial covenants as of March 31, 2020, subsequent to that date the Company has favorably renegotiated those covenants and has received a waiver for such non-compliance through June 30, 2020 as it continues to negotiate further extension of that waiver. Despite its current compliance under the waiver, until such time as the Company regains compliance or receives a waiver of such covenants for a year beyond the balance sheet date, under current GAAP accounting rules the senior secured notes amounting to $4,241,578 have been classified as current debt. The Company does not yet have a history of financial profitability. The Company does not have firm commitments to fund its future operational and strategic plans although it is presently in the process of raising additional debt for general operations and to support its leasing activities. The Company has used its Shelf Registration on Form S-3 during September 2019 to raise net proceeds of $3,035,557 through a confidentially marketed public offering of common shares, has raised $1,495,450 through a private convertible preferred stock offering in March 2020 and subsequent to March 31, 2020 one of the Company’s subsidiaries was funded $421,300 on May 13, 2020 through the Paycheck Protection Program.. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to raise sufficient capital or debt to sustain operations or to pursue other strategic initiatives or that such financing will be on terms that are favorable to the Company. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Impact of COVID-19 on Liquidity and Capital Resources
As a result of COVID-19 the implementation of the Company’s contract with Carnival Corporation has been delayed and the operations of some customers in the restaurant and hospitality industries have been temporarily interrupted due to governmental actions. For certain existing restaurant and hospitality customers, the Company has provided a deferral of recurring rental payments for a short time and have modified the rental agreements to extend the term by the period deferred. These actions have placed a strain on the Company’s cash flows resulting in the Company executing on cost controls and cash preservation practices that have included reducing executive cash compensation, laying off non-essential employees, limiting expenses and disbursements, as well as extending vendor payments.
Cash
As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had unrestricted cash balances of $1,934,846 and $1,847,526, respectively.
Borrowings and Debt

Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk. |
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by 17 C.F.R. 229 (10)(f)(i) and are not required to provide information under this item.
Item 4. | Controls and Procedures. |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
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 upon their evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that a material weakness existed and that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company 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, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief 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.
Item 1. | Legal Proceedings. |
On February 7, 2018, Lemartec Corporation (“Lemartec”) filed a complaint against the Company in the United States District Court for the Northern District of West Virginia arising out of the construction of the Company’s resource recovery facility in Martinsburg, West Virginia alleging breach of contract and unjust enrichment. The Company has filed its answer and counterclaims for damages against Lemartec and cross claims against Lemartec’s performance bond surety, Philadelphia Indemnity Insurance Company. The trial was scheduled to begin in August 2020. Subsequent to year end and prior to the start of the trial, on March 12, 2020 the Company entered into a settlement agreement that detailed the full and final mutual release. The settlement agreement provides that the Company pay Lemartec $775,000 in installments of $475,000 within 60 days of the execution of the settlement agreement and $25,000 each month thereafter for 12 months. The Company’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2019 reflects this liability given the nature of the subsequent event.
It is management’s opinion that the resolution of this claim will not materially affect the Company’s future financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
From time to time, we are a party to, or otherwise involved in, legal proceedings arising in the normal and ordinary course of business. As of the date of this report, we are not aware of any other proceeding, threatened or pending, against us which, if determined adversely, would have a material effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

This initial closing was followed by an additional closing on April 6, 2020 of $65,000 on 566 shares of the new series of preferred stock and 7,750 common stock warrants. The newly designated series, the Series F Redeemable, Convertible Preferred Stock (the Sr. F Preferred Stock) is comprised of 30,090 shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share and a stated value per share of $115.00 that has a dividend rate of 9%. The Sr. F Preferred Stock is convertible by the holder at any time at a conversion rate of $2.10, subject to certain antidilution adjustments and is redeemable by the Registrant after 24 months at its stated value, plus any outstanding accrued or accumulated dividends for cash, or if the Registrant’s common stock is trading over $3.00 per share and has daily trading volume of over 50,000 shares, for the Registrant’s common stock at the conversion rate in effect at the time. In connection with the offering of the Sr. F Preferred Stock, the Registrant also issued warrants that expire in five years to acquire the Registrant’s common stock at $2.30 per share.
The Series F Shares are convertible into shares of Common Stock at a fixed conversion price of $2.10 per share of Common Stock subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments (the “Conversion Price”) and redeemable by the Company twenty-four (24) months after issuance for cash, provided that such cash payment is permissible under the Company’s existing indebtedness and obligations, or for shares of Common Stock at the Stated Value, plus any outstanding accrued or accumulated dividends if the closing price of the Common Stock is over $3.00 per share and the average daily, trading volume is over 50,000 shares. The Series F Shares will also accrue dividends at the rate of nine percent (9%) per annum, payable in semi-annual installments of cash, provided such cash payment is permitted, or at the option of the Purchaser, in shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Price. In addition, the Series F Shares, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends, may be converted at any time by the Investors into Common Stock at the Conversion Price.
