BioHiTech Global, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 and as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020

 

Note 1. Basis of Presentation and Going Concern

 

Nature of Operations - BioHiTech Global, Inc. (the “Company” or “BioHiTech”) through its wholly-owned and 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 and more recently in the United States intermittent increases in cases reported, as well as those from new strains of the virus. Vaccines developed for the initial strain of the virus have been released and are being distributed. The Company continues to monitor the near term and longer term impacts of COVID-19 and the related business and travel restrictions and other changes 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 nature of the pandemic, 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.

 

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, 2020, which contains the audited financial statements and notes thereto, for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 included within the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 16, 2021. The financial information as of December 31, 2020 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, 2020. The interim results for the three months ended March 31, 2021 is not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021 or for any future interim periods.

 

As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company’s active wholly-owned subsidiaries were BioHiTech America, LLC, BioHiTech Europe Limited, BHT Financial, LLC and BHT Renewables LLC (formerly E.N.A. Renewables LLC), and its controlled subsidiary was Refuel America LLC (68.2% and 60%, respectively)) 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 (93.5% and 88.7%, 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 ended March 31, 2021, the Company had a consolidated net loss of $2,334,723, incurred a consolidated loss from operations of $1,276,502 and used net cash in consolidated operating activities of $1,939,521. At March 31, 2021, consolidated total stockholders’ equity amounted to $10,063,721, consolidated stockholders’ equity attributable to parent amounted to $8,037,754, and the Company had a consolidated working capital deficit of $7,053,763. While the Company had not met certain of its senior secured note’s financial covenants as of March 31, 2021 and has received a waiver for such non-compliance through March 31, 2021, 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 note amounting to $4,582,003 has been classified as current debt. The Company does not yet have a history of financial profitability. On February 19, 2021, the Company entered into an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement with B. Riley Securities, Inc., which during the first quarter of 2021 the Company raised $6,895,618 in net proceeds from the sale of 3,416,663 shares of common stock. There is no assurance that the Company will continue 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.

BioHiTech Global, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 and as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020

 

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.

 

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC on a consistent basis with and should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020. Certain information has been condensed or omitted as permitted by the SEC, although we believe the disclosures that are made are adequate to make the information presented herein not misleading.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

 

The Company has not implemented any recent accounting pronouncements during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

 

The Company has not implemented the following accounting standards:

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This standard requires an allowance to be recorded for all expected credit losses for certain financial assets. The new standard introduces an approach, based on expected losses, to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments. ASU 2016-13 is effective for public companies for interim and annual period beginning December 15, 2022. Entities are required to apply the standard’s provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted. The Company has not yet adopted this update and is currently evaluating the effect this new standard will have on its financial condition and results of operations.

 

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.” The amendments in this update provide optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting as the market transitions from the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. The amendments in this update were effective upon issuance for all entities through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the updated standard will have on its financial position, results of operations or financial statement disclosure.

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt with Conversion and other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). The new guidance eliminates the beneficial conversion and cash conversion accounting models for convertible instruments. It also amends the accounting for certain contracts in an entity’s own equity that are currently accounted for as derivatives because of specific settlement provisions. In addition, the new guidance modifies how particular convertible instruments and certain contracts that may be settled in cash or shares impact the diluted EPS computation. This guidance is effective as of January 1, 2022 (Early adoption is permitted effective January 1, 2021). The Company is currently evaluating the effect the updated standard will have on its financial position, results of operations or financial statement disclosure.

 

There have been no other recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements that have been issued but not yet adopted that are of significance, or potential significance, to the Company.

During September 2020, the Company’s Entsorga West Virginia subsidiary received notice that an affiliate of a minority owner of the facility, who also provided intellectual property, equipment and engineering services relating to the set-up and initial operation of the facility, was claiming it was owed $917,420 related to services contracted as part of the facility’s construction and initial start-up and operation. The Company incurred offsetting costs and expenses greater than the claim correcting or replacing the services that were contracted but that were either not performed or performed correctly. No action has been commenced related to this claim and the Company disputes the claim and intends to defend this matter vigorously.

 

As a result of this claim and the related costs incurred by the Company to cure the deficiencies in the services that were contracted, the Company has reflected an impairment charge amounting to $917,420 during the year ended December 31, 2020. 

   

It is management’s opinion that the resolution of these matters 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 11. Revenue

 

The Company recognizes revenue as services are performed or products are delivered and generally recognize revenue for the gross amount of consideration received as we are generally the primary obligor (or principal) in our contracts with customers as we hold complete responsibility to the customer for contract fulfillment.  We record amounts collected from customers for sales tax on a net basis.

Impact of COVID-19

 

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 and more recently in the United States intermittent increases in cases reported, as well as those from new strains of the virus. Vaccines developed for the initial strain of the virus have been released and are being distributed. The Company continues to monitor the near term and longer term impacts of COVID-19 and the related business and travel restrictions and other changes 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 nature of the pandemic, 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. 

 

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 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, we believe that 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 we believe 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.

 

15

 

 

In an effort to expand the capabilities of its digesters, the Company developed a sophisticated Internet of Things (“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. While the contract was delayed in 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, sales and deliveries of digesters have been robust since the fourth quarter of 2020.

 

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 estimated 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.

 

Combined Offering

 

The Company’s suite of products and services positions it as a 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, in 2020 the Company entered into a distribution agreement with Altapure, LLC, to distribute its patented line of ultrasonic based disinfecting, environmentally-friendly, automated and touchless high-level sub-micron aerosol disinfection system. The Company recognized its first sale under this agreement in October 2020.

Results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021

compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020

 

Overview

 

The Company continued its revenue growth in the quarter ended March 31, 2021 with total revenues of $3,040,290 increasing 21% over the fourth quarter of 2020 and 124% over the comparative first quarter of 2020. Total revenues of $3,040,290 mark a new quarterly high since the Company went public in 2015.

 

The overall contribution rate (revenues, less direct costs) increased to 29% in the first quarter of 2021, as compared to 20% in the fourth quarter of 2020 and 10% in the comparative first quarter of 2020.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased to 54% in the first quarter of 2021, as compared to 115% in the fourth quarter of 2020 and 141% in the comparative first quarter of 2020.

 

The loss from operations as a percentage of revenue decreased to 42% in in the first quarter of 2021, as compared to 120% in the fourth quarter of 2020 and 176% in the comparative first quarter of 2020.

 

The Company continues to achieve growth in the Digester and Corporate line of business that has most recently been driven by sales to Carnival Cruise Lines such that the first quarter the operating loss was driven down to $(184,032) from $(999,487) during the fourth quarter of 2020 and $(1,331,543) during the comparative first quarter of 2020.

 

During the first quarter of 2021 revenues at the HEBiot facility were $352,548, a decrease of $137,584, which was offset by a $135,150 decrease in direct costs, as compared to the comparative first quarter in 2020; as compared to the fourth quarter of 2020, the decrease in revenues of $141,903 was partially offset by a decrease of $115,523 in direct costs. The Company has been hindered in growth at the HEBioT plant in Martinsburg West Virginia resulting from mechanical challenges during 2020 and constraints on our primary solid recovered fuel (“SRF”) customer’s ability to accept SRF due to its closures resulting from COVID-19 and subsequent refiring difficulties at their kiln that have only recently been partially resolved. In each of the current, sequential and comparative quarters there was a negative contribution, which when combined with the other operating expenses resulted in an operating loss of $(1,092,470), $(2,000,040) and $(1,062,407) during the first quarter of 2021, fourth quarter of 2020 and first quarter of 2020, respectively.

    44%   53%   (9)%   (92)%   (66)%   (26)%   29%   10%   19%

 

The overall Digester and Corporate contribution increased to $1,196,017 during the first quarter as compared to $461,970 in the comparative first quarter of 2020 and $796,717 during the fourth quarter of 2020. These increases were primarily the result of increased digester sales to Carnival Cruise Lines. The contribution margin during the first quarter of 2021 was 44%, as compared to 53% during the comparative first quarter of 2020 prior to the deliveries of digesters to Carnival Cruise Lines. During the fourth quarter of 2020, the contribution margin was 40%.

 

As noted previously, revenues have been constrained at the HEBioT facility and as such, with a high level of fixed costs for each of the first quarters of 2021 and 2020, as well as the fourth quarter of 2020, the facility has had negative contributions.

Consolidated staffing and stock based compensation expenses of $831,539 during the first quarter of 2021 reflect the impact of staffing reductions initiated in 2020, offset in part by increases in management and administrative staffing at the HEBioT facility, resulting in a decrease of $246,997 (23%) from the first quarter of 2020. Office operations expenses increased by $92,265 at the HEBioT facility primarily due to a local property tax revaluation. Other expenses at Digester and Corporate decreased by $99,032 due to the comparable first quarter of 2020 including an unhedged foreign currency loss relating to BREXIT from our United Kingdom subsidiary.

 

Depreciation and Amortization

 

Consolidated depreciation and amortization of $501,833 for the first quarter of 2021 decreased from $559,924 and $615,202 for the fourth and first quarters of 2020 due to adjustments in the depreciation expense over the remaining lives of assets at the HEBioT faculty.

 

Other Expenses

 

Consolidated other expenses of $1,058,221 for the first quarter of 2021 increased from $1,022,615 and $1,000,024 for the fourth and first quarters of 2020 due absorption of a $30,003 loss from an unconsolidated investment and increases in the amortization of debt discounts and costs due to the increasing balance of the debt.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company had a consolidated net loss of $2,334,723, incurred a consolidated loss from operations of $1,276,502 and used net cash in consolidated operating activities of $1,939,521. At March 31, 2021, consolidated total stockholders’ equity amounted to $10,063,721, consolidated stockholders’ equity attributable to parent amounted to $8,037,754, and the Company had a consolidated working capital deficit of $7,053,763. While the Company had not met certain of its senior secured note’s financial covenants as of March 31, 2021 and has received a waiver for such non-compliance through March 31, 2021, 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 note amounting to $4,582,003 has been classified as current debt. The Company does not yet have a history of financial profitability. On February 19, 2021, the Company entered into an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement with B. Riley Securities, Inc., which during the first quarter of 2021 the Company raised $6,895,618 in net proceeds from the sale of 3,416,663 shares of common stock. There is no assurance that the Company will continue 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.

 

Cash

 

As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had unrestricted cash balances of $7,314,056 and $2,403,859, respectively.

 

Borrowing and Debt

 

See Note 7. Notes, Bonds, Debts and Borrowings to the Financial Statements filed herewith.

 

Cash Flows

 

Cash flows used in operating activities — We used $1,939,521 of cash in operating activities during the first quarter of 2021, a decrease of $575,953 from $2,515,474 of cash used in operating activities during the first quarter of 2020. Our net loss for the first quarter of 2021 of $2,334,723 was reduced by $921,259 of non-cash operating income and expenses resulting in $1,413,464 of operational cash usage before changes in operational assets and liabilities, as compared to operational cash usage before changes in operating assets and liabilities of $2,307,631 for the first quarter of 2020. This decrease in in usage before changes in operational assets and liabilities was primarily driven by the decreased net loss in 2021.

 

Cash flows used in investing activities — $44,547 of cash was used in investing activities during the first quarter of 2021, as compared to a usage of $45,358 for the first quarter of 2020.

 

Cash flows from financing activities — Cash flows from financing activities amounted to $6,894,543 during the for the first quarter of 2021, an increase of $4,200,553 from $2,693,990 of cash flows from investing activities during the for the first quarter of 2020. This increase was primarily due to an increase in cash flows from the issuance of common stock shares of $6,895,618, as compared to $1,495,450 and $1,200,000 raised in for the first quarter of 2020 through a preferred stock private placement and advances from a related party, respectively.

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have not entered into or are a party to any off-balance sheet arrangements during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

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, which results in a material weakness over disclosure controls and procedures, as well as internal control over financial reporting. The Company has not had access to sufficient resources within the accounting function, which restricted the Company’s ability to gather, analyze and properly review information related to financial reporting in a timely manner. We expect to add additional resources as we grow and expand our overall operations. 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.

   

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

  

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

 

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 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.  

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

 

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.
