NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

Taronis Fuels, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a renewable fuel and power generation company. Our primary business objective is the production of sustainable, socially responsible alternatives to existing fossil fuel and industrial gas products. Our first commercially viable product is a metal cutting fuel called “MagneGas”. MagneGas is a proprietary synthetic gas comprised primarily of hydrogen that is produced by the Company from its patented Venturi® Flow Submerged Plasma Arc Gasification Units (“Gasification Units”). The Gasification Units are patent protected in the United States, and we have or are in the process of filing patents under the Patent Cooperation Treaty in other areas of the world. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, we purchased the patents primarily related to the production of MagneGas and the manufacturing, sale and distribution of Gasification Units and related patents, trademarks and other intellectual property from our former parent, BBHC, Inc.

 

The Company is also a holding company of various gas and welding supply companies doing business as “MagneGas Welding Supply”, including MagneGas Welding Supply-Southeast, LLC, MagneGas Welding Supply-South, LLC, MagneGas Welding Supply-West, LLC, MagneGas Limited (United Kingdom), and MagneGas Ireland Limited (Republic of Ireland). The Company manufactures, sells and distributes its Gasification Units, MagneGas as a metal cutting fuel, and a full line of industrial gases, welding equipment and services to the retail and wholesale metalworking and manufacturing industries. “MagneGas” is produced by our wholly owned subsidiary, MagneGas Production, LLC. The Company also specializes in and supplies the wholesale H.V.A.C. and plumbing supply distributor markets with various gases through its wholly owned subsidiaries Taronis-TGS, LLC and Tech-Gas Solutions, LLC, which we acquired in May 2020.

 

We were initially organized as a Delaware limited liability company on February 1, 2017, under the name MagneGas Welding Supply, LLC, to be a holding company for our various subsidiary level welding supply companies. On April 9, 2019, we converted MagneGas Welding Supply, LLC into Taronis Fuels, Inc., a Delaware corporation. On July 15, 2019, BBHC, Inc. (“BBHC”), f/ka as Taronis Technologies, Inc., the Company’s former parent, announced that its Board of Directors approved a plan to pursue a separation of its gas and welding supply retail business through a spin-off transaction. On December 5, 2019, we became an independent, publicly traded company and the spin-off was not tax-free to either BBHC, our former parent, or our stakeholders.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. The interim financial statements were prepared on a stand-alone basis for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and were derived from the condensed consolidated financial statements and accounting records of BBHC, the Company’s former parent, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal, recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. As this is an interim period financial statement, certain adjustments are not necessary as with a financial period of a full year. Although management believes that the disclosures in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are adequate to ensure the information presented is not misleading, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements that have been prepared in accordance U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.

 

The accompanying unaudited 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. The respective financial statements can be found within the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the SEC on May 22, 2020. The interim results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ended December 31, 2020 or for any future interim periods.

Carve-Out Assumptions and Allocations

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, include Taronis Fuels, Inc.’s corporate expenses and administrative expenses allocated from BBHC, the Company’s former parent. These costs have been allocated based on direct usage when identifiable, with the remainder allocated on a pro-rata basis of expenses, headcount or other systematic measures that reflect utilization of services provided to or benefits received by us. Management considers the expense allocation methodology and results to be reasonable.

 

Impact of COVID-19

 

During the first quarter of 2020, the outbreak of COVID-19 evolved into a global pandemic, which caused a significant downturn in the global economy. The Company continues to operate its business through the COVID-19 pandemic and has taken additional precautions and adopted operational policies to protect the safety of its employees, customers, vendors, and the communities in which it operates.

 

There are various uncertainties that have arisen from the COVID-19 pandemic. While management is continuing to monitor the impact of the pandemic on the Company, including the impact on its employees, customers, vendors, stockholders, and other business partners and stakeholders, it is difficult to predict the impact that the pandemic will have on future results of its operations, financial position, and liquidity, if any, as this is outside of the Company’s control. The scope, duration and magnitude of the direct and indirect effects of COVID-19 continue to evolve and in ways that are difficult or impossible to anticipate. This has caused some uncertainties around various accounting estimates. Due to these uncertainties, our accounting estimates may change, as management’s assessment of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve. In addition, our results in the first three quarters of 2020 may not be indicative of the impact COVID-19 could have on the Company’s results for the remainder of 2020.

 

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENTS’ PLAN

 

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had cash of approximately $0.2 million and reported a net loss for the third quarter of $5.2 million. In addition, the Company reported a year to date net loss of approximately $7.5 million and has used cash in operations of approximately $4.9 million for the period ended September 30, 2020. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had negative working capital of approximately $5 million. The Company utilizes cash in its operations of approximately $0.5 million per month. These factors indicate that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the issuance date of these financial statements.

 

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to further implement its business plan and generate sufficient revenue from operations, and its ability to raise additional funds by way of a public or private offering or other financing arrangements through the use of indebtedness. Historically, the Company has financed its operations through equity and debt financing transactions, but we reasonably believe we have a clear path to future profitability, despite the likelihood we will incur operating losses in the foreseeable future. The Company’s plans and expectations for the next 12 months include raising additional capital to help fund expansion of its commercial operations through the use of indebtedness. In October 2020, the Company closed a private placement offering of its restricted common stock providing the Company gross proceeds of $10.9 million and entered into a $10 million loan and security agreement. In addition, in November 2020, the Company closed a private placement offering of its restricted common stock providing the Company gross proceeds of $10.4 million. These transactions provide the Company with access to additional capital to fund its operations and the Company believes these transactions will help the Company continue as a going concern.

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset amounts or the classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. If these sources do not provide the capital necessary to fund the Company’s operations during the next twelve months from the date of this Report, the Company may need to curtail certain aspects of its operations or expansion activities, consider the sale of its assets, or consider other means of financing. The Company can give no assurance that it will be successful in implementing its business plan and obtaining financing on terms advantageous to the Company or that any such additional financing would be available to the Company. These condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments from this uncertainty. The Company’s management has determined the foregoing factors regarding its liquidity raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Revised Financial Statements

 

During the preparation of the first quarter ended March 31, 2020 Form 10-Q, the Company determined that it unintentionally attributed and recorded in its annual report on Form 10-K land and building fixed assets, a promissory note and two future revenue payable agreements that were assets and obligations of the Company’s former parent, BBHC. The effect of this error resulted in an overstatement of property and equipment, notes payable, and depreciation and interest expense and an understatement of stockholders’ equity for the year ended December 31, 2019. The Company assessed the materiality of this misstatement in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 – “Quantifying Misstatements” and concluded this error was not qualitatively material as there was no material impact on net loss, or any other balance sheet item and cash flows, among other considerations. As such, the correction of the error was revised in the March 31, 2020 condensed consolidated balance sheet and condensed consolidated statements of operations. Disclosure of the revised amounts will also be reflected in future filings containing the applicable periods.

 

The effect of this revision on the line items within the condensed consolidated balance sheet and condensed consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2019 was as follows:

 

   Year ended December 31, 2019
(In Thousands)
 
   Previously
reported
   Adjustments   As revised 
Property and equipment  $383   $(383)  $- 
Total assets  $383   $(383)  $- 
Notes payable, current  $150   $(150)  $- 
Payable on the sale of future revenue, net  $1,382   $(1,382)  $- 
Total liabilities  $1,532   $(1,532)  $- 
Stockholders’ equity  $(1,149)  $1,149   $- 
Depreciation expense  $4   $(4)  $- 
Interest expense  $477   $(477)  $- 
Net loss  $(481)  $481   $- 
Net loss per share: Basic and diluted  $(0.04)  $-   $(0.04)

 

The Company had determined that this error is a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting. See Part I, Item 4 – “Controls and Procedures” elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further discussion.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The Company prepares its financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. These principles require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported financial statement balances and disclosures. Management believes the estimates to be reasonable; however, actual results could differ from the stated estimates. The condensed consolidated financial statements presented include estimates associated with intangible assets, goodwill, the allowance for doubtful accounts, the useful lives of property, plant and equipment, and the fair value of granted equity awards.

 

Cash and Restricted Cash

 

Cash consists of cash on hand and within checking accounts. Restricted cash consists of cash deposited with a foreign financial institution for approximately $0.9 million as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

 

11

 

 

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and restricted cash reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheets that sum to the total of the same amounts show in the statement of cash flows. The restricted deposit was a deposit required for an international grant.

 

   September 30, 2020   December 31, 2019 
Cash  $212   $142 
Restricted deposits   937    868 
Total cash and restricted cash in the balance sheet  $1,149   $1,010 

 

Marketable Securities

 

ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), requires the Company disclose estimated fair values for its financial instruments, including marketable securities. The estimated fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability. Because the fair value is estimated as of the presented financial statement dates using observable inputs, the amounts that will be realized or paid at settlement or maturity of the instruments in the future could be significantly different.

 

ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The highest priority is given to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority given to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels are described as:

 

Level 1 Inputs – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible by the Company.

 

Level 2 Inputs – Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.

 

Level 3 Inputs – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability including significant assumptions of the Company and other market participants.

 

Fair market value of the marketable securities is determined using a publicly quoted market price with any respective gains and losses being recorded within the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income. During the current quarter, all Level 1 investments were sold. As of September 30, 2020, the Company does not hold any level 2 or 3 investments.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivables consist of (1) amounts due for the delivery of MagneGas sales to customers with payment terms of generally 30 days and (2) amounts due for the sale of gasification units. An allowance for doubtful accounts has been established for any amounts which may not be recoverable and is based on an analysis of the Company’s customer credit worthiness, historical estimates, and current economic trends. Receivables are determined to be past due based on payment terms of original invoices. The Company does not typically charge interest on past due receivables. The allowance for doubtful accounts was approximately $0.4 million and $0.8 million as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

 

Long-lived assets

 

Long-lived assets such as property, equipment and identifiable intangibles are reviewed for impairment whenever facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. When required, impairment losses on assets to be held and used are recognized based on the fair value of the asset. The fair value is determined based on estimates of future cash flows, market value of similar assets, if available, or independent appraisals, if required. If the carrying amount of the long-lived asset is not recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the carrying amount and fair value of the asset. When fair values are not available, we estimate fair value using the expected future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk associated with the recovery of the assets.

 

The Company recorded intangible assets consisting of non-compete agreements. Applicable long-lived assets are amortized or depreciated over the shorter of their estimated useful lives, the estimated period the assets will generate revenue, or the statutory or contractual term. Non-compete agreements are amortized using a straight-line method over the length of the applicable agreement. Estimates of useful lives and periods of expected revenue generation are reviewed periodically for appropriateness and are based on management’s judgment.

 

12

 

 

Goodwill and Indefinite-lived Assets

 

We have recorded goodwill and other indefinite-lived assets in connection with acquisitions. Goodwill represents the difference between the consideration transferred and the fair value of the net assets acquired, and liabilities assumed under the acquisition method of accounting for push-down accounting. Goodwill is not amortized but is evaluated for impairment within the Company’s single reporting unit on an annual basis during the fourth quarter, or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the Company’s reporting unit below its carrying amount. When performing the impairment assessment, the accounting standard for testing goodwill for impairment permits a company to first assess the qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events and circumstances indicates that it is more likely than not that the goodwill is impaired. If the Company believes, as a result of the qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that the fair value of goodwill is impaired, the Company then must perform a quantitative analysis to determine if the carrying value of the reporting entity exceeds its fair value.

 

The potential for impairment is measured during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year and if a triggering event occurs. The impact of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic and its potential to be a triggering event was considered in the Company’s qualitative assessment. Currently, there has not been a significant impact on the carrying value of the Company, but this factor will continue to be evaluated. The Company notes there were no triggering events or impairment associated with Goodwill for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 or September 30, 2019.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company generates revenue through four processes: (1) the sale of MagneGas fuel for metal cutting and through the sales of other industrial and specialty gases and related products through our wholly owned subsidiaries, (2) through sales of our Gasification Units, (3) through sales related to H.V.A.C gas supply, and (4) by providing consulting services. Our revenue recognition policy is as follows:

 

  Revenue for metal-working fuel, industrial gases, H.V.A.C gases, and welding supplies is recognized when performance obligations of the sale are satisfied. The majority of our terms of sale have a single performance obligation to transfer products. Accordingly, we recognize revenue when control has been transferred to the customer, generally at the time of shipment of products.
     
  Revenue generated from sales of each Gasification Unit is recognized in accordance with identified performance obligations within each unique contract. Typical performance obligations include: (1) design of the unit, (2) delivery of the units, (3) implementation services, and (4) ongoing support services. Regarding (1), (2) and (3), revenue is recognized based on satisfaction of the identified performance obligations, the value of which is often estimated based on labor hours and/or costs incurred. Regarding (4), revenue is recognized as time lapses.
     
  The Company applies the five-step process outlined in ASC 606 when recognizing revenue with regards to consulting services:

 

13

 

 

  The Company enters into a written consulting agreement with a customer to provide professional services and has an enforceable right to payment for its performance completed to date
     
  All promised services are identified to determine whether those services represent performance obligations
     
  In considerations for the services to be rendered, the Company expects to receive incremental payments during the term of the agreement
     
  Payments are estimated for each performance obligation and allocated in accordance with payment terms
     
  Typically, consulting service contracts will follow a similar pattern of recognition as legacy GAAP. The nature of the consulting services is such that the customer will receive benefits of the Company’s performance only when the customer receives the professional services. Consequently, the entity recognizes revenue over time by measuring the progress toward complete satisfaction of the performance obligation.

 

The following table represents sales revenue disaggregated by product category for the nine months ended September 30:

 

   For the three months ended
September 30,
   For the nine months ended
September 30,
 
   2020   2019   2020   2019 
Gas sold  $3,266   $2,755    8,145    9,106 
Gasification equipment   2,300    -    5,300    - 
Equipment sales   2,214    1,656    5,526    4,027 
Cylinder sales   773    -    1,582    - 
Equipment rentals   773    746    2,164    2,433 
Other   336    162    747    526 
Total Revenues from Customers  $9,662   $5,319    23,464    16,092 

 

Other revenue consists of equipment repairs, hazmat services, freight & shipping, and consulting income.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation costs under the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718, “Compensation—Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense related to the fair value of stock-based compensation awards that are ultimately expected to vest. Stock based compensation expense recognized includes the compensation cost for all stock-based payments granted to employees, officers, and directors based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718. ASC 718 is also applied to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled during the periods reported.

 

The Company recorded total stock-based compensation to employees, officers, directors, and in exchange for other services of $0.4 and $1.1 million for the three and nine months September 30, 2020, respectively. No stock-based compensation was recorded during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2019.

 

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU) No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The new guidance simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles, as well as improving consistent application in Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. The update is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted for which financial statements have not yet been made available for issuance. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of adopting this standard will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

14

 

 

In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01 – Investments – Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) – Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815. The new guidance addresses accounting for the transition into and out of the equity method and measuring certain purchased options and forward contracts to acquire investments. The new standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of adopting this standard will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

The Company reviewed all other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and do not expect the future adoption of any such pronouncements will have a material impact on our interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Recent Accounting Standards

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2018-13, Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. ASU 2018-13 modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements by removing, modifying, or adding certain disclosures. The amendments in ASU 2018-13 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. An entity is permitted to early adopt any removed or modified disclosures upon issuance of ASU No. 2018-13 and delay adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date. The Company has adopted ASU No. 2018-13 effective January 1, 2020. The adoption of this accounting standard did not have a material impact to the condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. This amendment eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Step 2 measures a goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. The amendments in ASU 2017-04 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company has adopted ASU No. 2017-04 effective January 1, 2020. The adoption of this accounting standard did not have a material impact to the condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-05, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief. ASU 2019-05 is an update to ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The amendments in ASU 2019-05 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted in any interim period after the issuance of this Update as long as an entity has adopted the amendments in Update 2016-13. The Company has adopted ASU No. 2019-05 effective January 1, 2020. The adoption of this accounting standard did not have a material impact to the condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-08, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Codification Improvements – Share-Based Consideration Payable to a Customer. ASU 2019-08 requires entities to measure and classify share-based payments to a customer by applying the guidance in Topic 718. The amount recorded as a reduction in revenue is to be measured on the basis of the grant-date fair value of the share-based payment in accordance with Topic 718. The classification and subsequent measurement of the award is subject to Topic 718 unless share-based payment award is subsequently modified and the grantee is no longer a customer. The amendments in Update 2018-07 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within. The Company has adopted ASU No. 2018-07 effective January 1, 2020. The adoption of this accounting standard did not have a material impact to the condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) (“ASU 2020-06”). ASU 2020-06 simplifies the guidance for certain financial instruments with characteristics of both debt and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity, by reducing the number of accounting models for convertible instruments. It also amends guidance in ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share, relating to the computation of earnings per share for convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted for fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2020. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact the adoption of ASU 2020-06 will have on the financial statements.

NOTE 4 – ACQUISITIONS

 

August 2020 Intellectual Property Purchase Agreement

 

On August 19, 2020, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with BBHC, the Company’s former parent, pursuant to which the Company acquired the intellectual property portfolio of BBHC. In order to consummate the acquisition of the Intellectual Property, the Company purchased from BBHC all of the Intellectual Property directly owned by BBHC and all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of MagneGas IP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of BBHC (“MagneGas IP”), a holding company which owned the balance of the Intellectual Property. Following the consummation of the transaction, MagneGas IP became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

The Company paid an upfront aggregate purchase price to BBHC of $1.25 million for the intellectual property and membership interests of MagneGas IP, of which $1 million was paid in the form of the Company’s restricted common stock, par value $0.000001 per share, which was valued as of the fair market value on August 19, 2020 as reported on the OTCQB. An additional $0.25 million was recorded by the Company for assuming up to $0.25 million of BBHC’s aged accounts payable due to third party service providers. In addition, the Company agreed for a period of five years beginning on August 19, 2020 to make ongoing payments to BBHC equal to seven percent of all gross cash receipts received by the Company that are derived from the purchased Intellectual Property. The Company believes the consideration paid approximates the fair value of the intellectual property received, however the assets were fully depreciated by the Seller at the time of the sale. As such, no value associated with the intellectual property was recorded by the Company. The consideration paid has been recorded as a contribution to the Company’s former parent.

 

The preliminary allocation of the consideration transferred is as follows (dollar amounts in thousands):

 

Assumed accounts payable  $250 
Stock consideration   1,000

May 2020 Membership Interest Purchase and Sale Agreement

 

On May 26, 2020, the Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase and Sale Agreement (“Agreement”) for the purchase of all of the issued and outstanding membership interests owned by the Sellers in Tech-Gas Solutions, LLC, a privately owned independent specialty gas distribution business. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company purchased one hundred percent (100%) of the Sellers’ business for the gross purchase price of $8 million. The Company paid the Sellers $4 million at closing, with the $4 million Purchase Price balance to be paid pursuant to a multi-year Seller debt financing arrangement structured as a promissory note with a principal amount of $4 million, a term of 24 months, an interest rate of 8% per annum, and secured by Membership Interest Pledge Agreement pledging the membership interests purchased in the Acquisition (“Promissory Note”) as security for the repayment of the Promissory Note. The transaction was accounted for in accordance with ASC 805 – Business Combinations.

 

The preliminary allocation of the consideration transferred is as follows (dollar amounts in thousands):

 

Cash  $4,000 
Note payable   4,000 
Non-compete note   4,196 
Total purchase price  $12,196

Total purchase price allocation  $4,318 
      
Goodwill  $7,878 

 

During the current quarter, $0.4 million less inventory associated with the acquisition of Tech-Gas Solutions, LLC was identified. As such, we have adjusted the inventory and Goodwill balances of the preliminary allocation of consideration presented above. With respect to Goodwill acquired, the Company believes the Goodwill will be tax deductible.

On March 19, 2019, the Company entered into a Transfer and Assignment Agreement with Taronis Fuels Gas Technology Energy (the “Taronis Turkey Joint Venture” or “TTJV”) whereby the Company agreed to transfer and assign that certain Gasifier Purchase Agreement (“GPA”) entered into on July 17, 2019 with TA Group Media Industry Trade Joint Stock Company (“TA”), a third party, to TTJV. The purpose of the GPA is to create and sell MagneGas by selling to TA up to 30 300 KW gasification units at a purchase price of $5 million per unit. The venture will also earn an annual service fee for each unit sold, along with a royalty payment as specified in the agreement. The business purpose of the venture is to operate Units and sell the gas produced for use in welding and metal cutting for construction and manufacturing. The Company has a 49% equity ownership interest in TTJV and accounts for the interest as an equity method investment. As the Company does not control TTJV and is not involved in decision-making, the Company does not consolidate TTJV under ASC 810 – Consolidation.

 

During the third quarter of the current fiscal year, the venture utilized approximately $0.3 million of the venture’s cash balance for standard operations as outlined above, of which 49% has been recognized by the Company. As a result, the Company recapitalized the joint venture balance in the amount of $0.25 million, which is to be used for future operations.

NOTE 12 – SENIOR CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES

 

On August 7, 2020, the Company closed a private placement of Debentures and Warrants, collectively known as the “Offering.” In connection with the Offering, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with several accredited investors and agreed to sell to the accredited investors 12.5% original issue discount senior subordinated secured convertible debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $7.7 million. The debentures come due July 24, 2021 and have a stated interest rate of 8%, with interest payable quarterly. The Company has a maturity date right extension to extend the stated due date of the debenture 3 months, however we deem it unlikely the extension feature will be utilized. Further, unpaid portions of the debentures are convertible into shares of common stock exercisable at $0.09 per share by the debt holder at any time. On the date of issuance, the fair value of common stock exceeded the value of the conversion feature. As such, the transaction contained a beneficial conversion feature which the Company determined to have a value in excess of the net senior convertible debenture balance. As the discount cannot exceed the net value of the debenture, a discount associated with the beneficial conversion feature of $1.9 million was recorded.

 

We evaluated the debentures in accordance with ASC 815 – Derivatives and Hedging, noting the debentures’ embedded conversion feature does not represent a derivative liability as the contract required an initial net investment, in the form of warrants, and net settlement of the contract is not guaranteed. As a result, the convertible debenture and its embedded conversion feature are accounted for as a single liability measured at its amortized cost net values associated with the beneficial conversion feature and fair value allocated to associated warrants.

 

The gross proceeds received by the Company and associated expenses are outlined in the table below (in thousands):

 

   Senior Convertible Debentures 
Debenture principle balance   7,650 
Original Issue Discount   (850)
Loan Origination Fee Discount   (740)
Amortized discount   162 
Principal balance as of September 30, 2020   6,222 
Value allocated to beneficial conversion feature   (1,941)
Value allocated to warrants   (4,069)
Net balance   212 

 

During the current quarter, approximately $0.2 million of the recorded discounts and loan origination fees were amortized. As of September 30, 2020, the outstanding principal debenture balance was $7.7 million ($0.2 million net of unamortized discounts).

 

25

 

 

The convertible debentures, as well as any unpaid accrued interest, costs, and associated expenses, are convertible into shares of Common Stock valued at $0.09 at the option of the holder. As of September 30, 2020, no payments had been made on the convertible debentures. As a result, the debenture holders had the right to acquire up to 85,000,000 shares of our Common Stock. Further, common stock purchase warrants were also granted in conjunction with the issuance of the convertible debentures. In total, 93,500,000 warrants were granted to accredited investors which are holders of the convertible debentures. Each warrant is convertible into one share of the Company’s common stock and has an exercise price of $0.09. All warrants vest three years from the date of grant, which range from July 24, 2023 through August 25, 2023, are detachable from the debentures, and will remain outstanding even if the debentures are repaid in full or converted into shares of common stock. A total value of $4.1 million was allocated to the warrants. Refer to Note 14 – Stock-Based Awards for additional details surrounding the granted warrants and how their allocated value was determined.

NOTE 14 – STOCK-BASED AWARDS

 

Options

 

During the third quarter of 2020, the Company elected to grant employees stock options as a form of additional compensation. The stock options were granted in three tranches, each vesting ratably over unique vesting terms dependent solely on a defined service period. The Company measured the fair value of the stock options on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Note, prior to the third quarter, no stock option or warrants had been granted.

 

The following table details the assumptions utilized in the Black-Scholes option pricing model used to estimate the fair value of the options granted:

Warrant Allocation

 

In accordance with ASC 470, we have allocated proceeds from the issuance of the debentures between each aspect of the transaction (outlined within Note 12 – Senior Convertible Debentures), being the debentures and the detachable warrants. As both aspects have a separate market value, the price of the security has been allocated to the debenture and the warrants based on their relative fair market values (FMV) at the time they were issued. Refer above for additional details surrounding the fair value calculation of the granted warrants and refer below for a breakdown of the fair value of the warrants in relation to the principal balance of the debentures based on warrant grant date.

 

   Number of Warrants Issued   FMV   Total Warrant FMV   Debenture Principal Value   Warrant FMV as & of Debenture Principal Balance 
July 24, 2020   37,968,750   $0.096   $3,645,000   $3,417,188    52%
July 31, 2020   31,406,250   $0.091   $2,857,969   $2,826,563    50%
August 7, 2020   12,093,750   $0.103   $1,245,656   $421,875    75%
August 25, 2020   12,031,250   $0.112   $1,347,500   $984,375    58%
Total   93,500,000             $7,650,001    53%

 

As the total warrant fair market value constitutes 53% of the debenture’s principal value, we allocated $4.1 million of the $7.7 million debenture face value to additional paid in capital.

NOTE 16 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Litigation

 

Certain conditions may exist as of the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company, or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims, as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

 

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability will be accrued for in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.

 

Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed, unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed. There can be no assurance that such matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial position, and results of operations or cash flows.

 

The Company is not involved in any litigation that could have a materially adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the Company’s executive officers or any of the subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting the Company, our common stock, any of the subsidiaries or subsidiaries’ officers or directors in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect.

 

Purchase Agreement

 

In August 2020, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement with BBHC, the Company’s former parent, pursuant to which the Company acquired the intellectual property portfolio of BBHC. The August 2020 Purchase Agreement superseded a License Agreement, which the Company had entered in to with BBHC effective April 2020. Through the purchase of key intellectual property, the Company was able to obtain ownership to fundamental rights that were previously held under the License Agreement. The fundamental terms and rights include: (a) the Company’s exclusive worldwide rights to manufacture and distribute the proprietary metal cutting fuel MagneGas® as well as any other gases created using the equipment and methods (b) certain other rights related to the Company’s use of BBHC’s trademarks, patents, software and other intellectual property and (c) the Company’s ability to commercially manufacture and sell the Venturi® Flow Submerged Plasma Arc Gasification Units for the creation of gases. Included within the Purchase Agreement are terms to remit a seven percent royalty on any net cash proceeds received by the Company in relation to the use of any intellectual property comprising the Purchase Agreement for five years after the Purchase Agreement date. As of September 30, 2020, and 2019, the Company did not incur any license expense.

 

31

 

 

In connection with the Purchase Agreement entered into with BBHC in August 2020, pursuant to which the Company purchased all of BBHC’s Intellectual Property for $1.25 million (refer to Note 4 – Acquisitions for additional discussion), the Company and BBHC agreed to terminate the License Agreement. The Company and BBHC decided to terminate the License Agreement following the Company’s acquisition of the Intellectual Property as BBHC would no longer own the certain Intellectual Property subject to the Agreement. Included in the Purchase Agreement entered into with BBHC in August 2020 are terms similar to the License Agreement which require the Company to remit, on a monthly basis, a seven percent royalty on any net cash proceeds received by the Company in relation to the use of any intellectual property purchased from BBHC for a term of five years. As of September 30, 2020, and 2019, the Company did not incur any license expense.

 

NOTE 17 - NATURE OF SALE OF GASIFICATION EQUIPMENT TO FORMER PARENT

 

During the second quarter of fiscal year 2020, the Company sold a 300 KW gasification unit to its former parent, BBHC, Inc. for $3 million. The $3 million transaction price was determined by using a pre-existing contract associated with the Taronis Turkey Joint Venture “TTJV” as a proxy for fair market value for an arm’s length transaction. Refer to Note 6 – Investment in Joint Ventures for additional details regarding the TTJV. The TTJV’s contract’s rate was stated at $3.75 million, however a discount of $0.75 million was applied to the gasification unit sale to reflect the used nature of the unit sold and the fact the unit had been in operation for several years, but was not greater than 20% into its estimated useful life. Both the Company’s and BBHC’s Board of Directors approved the transaction. No further performance obligations were required, as the unit was sold “as-is” with no obligations for technical support or maintenance as the unit was fully operational at the time of sale. The sale was finalized in April 2020 and was fully paid for during the same month.

 

In accordance with the Company’s revenue recognition policy, all three performance obligations were satisfied (i.e. the unit was delivered, and all services were provided) during the second quarter. As such, all $3 million in revenue associated with the unit sale was recognized during the second quarter.

 

NOTE 18 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

Entry into Loan and Security Agreement

 

On October 21, 2020, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Tech Capital, LLC (the “Lender”). The Loan Agreement provides for a senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility of up to $10 million, which the Company may draw upon from time to time during the term of the Loan Agreement. The Company intends to use the proceeds from loans under the Credit Facility for working capital and general business purposes. The Loan Agreement has a basic term of 12 months, which will automatically renew for successive 12-month periods. However, the Company may terminate the Loan Agreement at any time upon 30 days’ prior written notice to Lender. The Lender may terminate the Loan Agreement at any time upon 30 days’ prior written notice to the Company or immediately without prior written notice following an event of default that is not cured prior to the expiration of any cure period applicable to the same, if any.

 

Availability under the Credit Facility will be based upon periodic borrowing base calculations valuing certain of the Company’s accounts receivable and inventory. Outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility accrue interest, which are payable monthly based on the average daily outstanding balance, at a rate equal 2.75% plus the prime rate (as published in the Western Edition of the Wall Street Journal in effect from time to time) per annum, provided that such prime rate shall at all times be deemed to be not be less than 3.25% per annum. However, regardless of the rate and prime rate in effect and amount of outstanding borrowings, the minimum monthly interest payments required under the Loan Agreement shall be at least $0.01 million. The Company’s obligations under the Credit Facility are secured by all of the Company’s assets.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements

 

The following is a “safe harbor” statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Statements contained in this document that are not based on historical facts are “forward-looking statements.” This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and other sections of this Form 10-Q contain forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance and underlying assumptions that are not statements of historical facts. This document and any other written or oral statements made by us or on our behalf may include forward-looking statements, which reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. We may, in some cases, use words such as “project,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “expect,” “estimate,” “intend,” “continue,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “potentially,” “will,” “may” or similar words and expressions that convey uncertainty of future events or outcomes to identify these forward-looking statements.

 

The forward-looking statements in this document are based upon various assumptions, many of which are based on management’s discussion and analysis or plan of operations and elsewhere in this Report. Although we believe that these assumptions were reasonable when made, these statements do not guarantee future performance and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control, and are difficult to predict. Actual results could differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements as a result of the risk factors we describe in our filings with the SEC, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. There also may be other risks that are currently unknown to us or that we are unable to predict at this time that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in our forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which reflect management’s view only as of the date of this Report. We do not have any intention or obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information or future events, after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, except as required by applicable law.

 

Impact of COVID-19

 

During the first quarter of 2020, the outbreak of COVID-19 evolved into a global pandemic, which caused a significant downturn in the global economy. The Company continues to operate its business through the COVID-19 pandemic and has taken additional precautions and adopted operational policies to protect the safety of its employees, customers, vendors, and the communities in which it operates.

 

There are various uncertainties that have arisen from the COVID-19 pandemic. While management is continuing to monitor the impact of the pandemic on the Company, including the impact on its employees, customers, vendors, stockholders, and other business partners and stakeholders, it is difficult to predict the impact that the pandemic will have on future results of its operations, financial position, and liquidity, if any, as this is outside of the Company’s control. The scope, duration and magnitude of the direct and indirect effects of COVID-19 continue to evolve and in ways that are difficult or impossible to anticipate. This has caused some uncertainties around various accounting estimates. Due to these uncertainties, our accounting estimates may change, as management’s assessment of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve. In addition, our results in the first three quarters of 2020 may not be indicative of the impact COVID-19 could have on the Company’s results for the remainder of 2020.

The Company manufactures, sells and distributes its Gasification Units, MagneGas as a metal cutting fuel, and a full line of industrial gases, welding equipment and services to the retail and wholesale metalworking and manufacturing industries. “MagneGas” is produced by our wholly owned subsidiary, MagneGas Production, LLC. The Company also specializes in and supplies the wholesale H.V.A.C. and plumbing supply distributor markets with various gases through its wholly owned subsidiaries Taronis-TGS, LLC and Tech-Gas Solutions, LLC, which we acquired in May 2020.

 

We were initially organized as a Delaware limited liability company on February 1, 2017, under the name MagneGas Welding Supply, LLC, to be a holding company for our various subsidiary level welding supply companies. On April 9, 2019, we converted MagneGas Welding Supply, LLC into Taronis Fuels, Inc., a Delaware corporation. On July 15, 2019, BBHC, Inc. (“BBHC”), f/ka as Taronis Technologies, Inc., the Company’s former parent, announced that its Board of Directors approved a plan to pursue a separation of its gas and welding supply retail business through a spin-off transaction. On December 5, 2019, we became an independent, publicly traded company and the spin-off was not tax-free to either BBHC, our former parent, or our stakeholders.

Results of Operations

 

Comparison for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019

 

Revenues

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 we generated revenues of approximately $9.7 million and approximately $5.4 million, respectively. This represents a $4.3 million, or 79.6% increase when compared to the same period in 2019. The increase was primarily due to three factors. First, the Company recorded $2.3 million in unit sales for activities related to the fulfillment of initial contracts in the Republic of Turkey. Second, the Company generated $2.1 million in additional industrial gas and welding product sales through its domestic retail and wholesale operations. Third, the Company continued to expand its marketing efforts during the economic uncertainty created by the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, the Company has been successful in diversifying its client base and adding clients in industries of stability and strength during the downturn. The Company experienced significant growth in its Florida market, which has more than doubled its revenues since the first impact of COVID-19. The Company continued to see strong sales growth in its Texas operations, while California remained largely flat due to a negative impact of the widespread forest fires in the second half of the third quarter.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 we generated revenues of approximately $23.5 million and approximately $16.1 million, respectively. The $7.4 million increase in sales was largely attributed to the sale of a $3 million 300KW Venturi arc gasification unit in the second quarter of fiscal 2020 and the recording of $2.3 million of revenue associated with third quarter gasification unit sales. In addition to the growth in the Florida and Texas markets, the acquisition of Tech-Gas Solutions (“TGS”) in May 2020 added a new revenue stream of wholesale gas, which offset the negative impact COVID-19 had on the retail industrial gas and welding supply sales during the second quarter and continues to contribute to the overall revenue growth year over year

Gross income for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was approximately $6.3 million, representing an approximate $3.5 million increase as compared to $2.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The increase of 125% was primarily due to the impact of the unit sales, which generated approximately $2.3 million of the $3.5 million in incremental gross income. The remaining $1.2 million increase in gross income was due to an increase in industrial gas sales, welding supply and cylinder sales across the Company’s domestic wholesale and retail sales network.

 

Gross income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was approximately $15.9 million, representing an approximate $8.2 million increase as compared to $7.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Of the $7.7 million increase, approximately $3 million of the improvement was due to the sale of a 300KW Venturi plasma arc gasification unit sale in the second quarter of fiscal 2020 and an additional $2.3 million was due to additional gasification unit sales which occurred during the third quarter. The remaining improvement in gross income was largely due to overall improved margins on industrial gas sales, which were 65.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to 52.1% for the same period in 2019. The improvement was in part due to installation of an industrial gas fill plant to service the Company’s Florida market, as well as improved pricing power with suppliers.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Operating expenses were approximately $8.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to approximately $4.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The increase of approximately $3.8 million was largely due to an increase in payroll. The Company recorded approximately $4.8 million in total payroll and benefits expense during the third quarter of 2020, as compared to approximately $2.5 million for the third quarter of 2019. The $2.3 million increase was largely due to the increased headcount for personnel added in research and engineering, gasification unit manufacturing staffing in Arizona, sales personnel for the MagneGas Welding Supply sales team, and the new corporate headquarters in Peoria, Arizona. Non-cash expenses for depreciation and amortization were $0.5 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Other non-cash expenses incurred during the current quarter were $0.7 million associated with stock compensation, of which none was recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and bad debt expense of $0.3 million, which was $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. In total, the Company incurred an additional $1.3 million in non-cash expenses than the same quarter in the prior year. Further, the Company incurred an additional $2.3 million in additional cash expense related to payroll. The remaining $0.2 million increase in operating expenses was primarily due to increased operating expenses from the addition of TGS during 2020, the new corporate headquarters, and the new gasification unit manufacturing facility in Peoria, AZ.

 

Operating expenses were approximately $20 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to approximately $12.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Of the overall $7.6 million increase, payroll was the largest single increase. Payroll for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $11 million as compared to $6.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The $4.9 million increase was primarily due to the research and engineering team adding a director of manufacturing for the mass production of Units, a director of MagneGas production for domestic national gas production, as well as procurement and supply chain personnel for the international shipping of Units. Overall staffing expenses are expected to remain at or below these levels for the remainder of 2020. Other factors contributing to the increase in operating expenses include non-cash items such as depreciation and amortization as well as stock compensation. During the current fiscal year, $1.5 million in depreciation and amortization expense was recorded compared to $0.8 million the same period during the prior year. In addition, a total of $1 million in stock compensation was recorded during the current fiscal year, of which none was recorded in the prior fiscal year. In total, the Company incurred an additional $4.9 million in cash expenses and $1.7 million in non-cash expenses in the current year compared to the prior year. The remaining $1 million increase in operating expenses year over year was primarily due to increased operating expenses from the addition of TGS during the second quarter of 2020, the new corporate headquarters, and the new gasification unit manufacturing facility in Peoria, AZ.

 

Net Loss

 

Our operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2020 recognized losses in the amount of approximately $5.2 million compared to losses of approximately $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The increase in losses from 2019 to 2020 are primarily due to the Company incurring significant interest expenses in the amount of $2.4 million during the quarter. Much of this expense was related to one-time events, and interest expense has decreased significantly as a result of subsequent events that have taken place early in the fourth quarter.

 

Our operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 recognized losses in the amount of approximately $7.5 million compared to approximately $4.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The $2.7 million increase in losses were primarily due to an increase in interest expense and the increase in payroll expenses as explained above within the operating expense section.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of September 30, 2020, the Company had cash of approximately $0.2 million and has reported net loss of approximately $5.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2020 and a net loss of $7.5 million year to date. The Company has used cash in operations of approximately $4.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. In addition, the Company had a negative working capital position of approximately $5 million, and a stockholder’s equity balance of approximately $39.5 million. Our primary source of capital has historically come from equity and debt financing transactions.

 

The Company has seen improvements in operating profitability during 2020. The Company generated an operating loss in the first quarter of 2020 in the amount of $3.5 million, followed by operating profits of $1.6 million and a loss of $2.2 million in the second and third quarters, respectively. The Company continues to experience consistent domestic sales growth early in the fourth quarter and is expecting to see this trend continue in coming quarters. The Company also has a significant backlog of contractual revenue that is expected to begin to be recognized beginning in 2021. This backlog of revenues is related to gasification unit sales that, in dollar terms, would represent a significant increase in overall sales with a limited increase in operating expenses. Consequently, the Company anticipates gross income will continue to increase at an accelerated rate, while operating expenses remain largely unchanged. As a result, the Company expects operating profitability to continue to improve.

 

In the third quarter of 2020, operating profits were more than offset by interest expense on debt instruments that has been retired through transactions that have occurred subsequent to the financial statements presented as of September 30, 2020. As a result, the Company’s overall debt levels and its costs of capital have been reduced significantly. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company anticipates interest expense will greatly diminish, and net losses will rapidly decrease, with the expectation the Company will be profitable in early 2021. The Company forecasts a significant level of operating profitability and net income generation in 2021.

 

Our primary source of capital has historically come from equity and debt financing transactions, including $6.8 million in gross proceeds received from convertible notes issued in a private placement offering that closed on August 7, 2020, $10.9 million in gross proceeds received from shares of restricted common stock issued in a private placement offering that closed on October 14, 2020, and an additional $10.4 in gross proceeds received from a similar private placement offering on November 18, 2020. The Company has also actively utilized debt and credit financings, including a $10 million credit facility entered into on October 21, 2020, approximately $0.8 million in short term debt, $8 million in seller financing for the TGS acquisition, and $2 million for a Payroll Protection Plan (“PPP”) loan. While the PPP loan is expected to be forgiven before year end, all short-term MCA notes have been repaid in full, and a portion of the Company’s term debt related to the TGS acquisition has been repaid.

 

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to further implement its business plan, continue to scale revenue from operations, and its ability to raise additional funds by way of public or private equity offerings or through the use of indebtedness. Given the Company’s significant improvement in operating income, combined with the elimination of high interest debt instruments, the Company believes it’s ability to financially support its current business plan is greatly improving. However, at this time, there is still sufficient doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the issuance date of the financial statements.

 

Our plans and expectations for the balance of the fiscal year from the date of filing this quarterly report may include raising debt capital to help fund commercial operations, acquisitions and organic growth. In October 2020, the Company closed a private placement offering of its restricted common stock providing the Company net proceeds of $10 million and entered into a $10 million loan and security agreement. In November 2020, the Company raised an additional $10.4 million through a private placement of its restricted common stock. These transactions provide the Company with access to adding capital to fund its operations and the Company believes these transactions will help the Company continue as a going concern. We utilized cash in our operations of approximately $0.5 million per month for the first nine months of 2020, but recently this has significantly improved, and our reliance on outside capital is decreasing rapidly.

 

If these sources do not provide the capital necessary to fund our operations during the next twelve months from the date of this report, we may need to curtail certain aspects of our operations or expansion activities or consider other means of financing. We can give no assurance that we will be successful in implementing our business plan and obtaining financing on terms advantageous to us or that any such additional financing would be available to us.

Cash Flows from Operations

 

Cash flows from continuing operations for operating, financing and investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 are summarized in the following table:

 

   Nine Months Ended September 30, 
   2020   2019 
   (unaudited) 
Operating activities  $(4,871)  $(1,643)
Investing activities   (8,582)   (8,970)
Financing activities   13,592    10,660 
           
Net increase in cash from continuing operations  $139   $47 

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we used cash of approximately $4.9 million in operations, equating to approximately $0.5 million used per month. Our cash use for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was primarily attributable to cash used to reduce vendor balances, accrued expenses and other short-term liabilities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, cash used by investing activities consisted of approximately $8.6 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, cash used by investing activities consisted of approximately $9 million primarily due to the acquisition of all stock of two companies and the assets of another company and purchases of property and equipment. Cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was approximately $13.6 million as compared to cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 of approximately $10.7 million. The net increase in cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019 was approximately $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

The Company is a “Smaller Reporting Company” as defined by § 229.10(f)(1) and is not required to provide the information required by this Item.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

In connection with the preparation of this report, an evaluation was carried out by the Company’s management, with the participation of the chief executive officer and individual performing the function of the chief financial officer of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”)) as of September 30, 2020. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the chief executive officer and the individual performing the function of the chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

 

38

 

 

During the evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2020, our chief executive officer and individual performing the functions of the chief financial officer concluded that Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

 

Notwithstanding the existence of these material weaknesses, management believes that the condensed consolidated financial statements in this report on Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, the Company’s financial condition as reported, in conformity with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”).

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process, under the supervision of the chief executive officer and individual performing the function of the chief financial officer, designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

 

  Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the Company’s assets;
     
  Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of the financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the board of directors; and
     
  Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Management has not completed  a proper evaluation, risk assessment and monitoring of the company’s internal controls over financial reporting as of September 30, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). As a result, management has concluded controls were not effective and identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting.

 

A material weakness is a control deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 

The material weaknesses identified are disclosed below:

 

Failure to Segregate Duties. Management has not maintained adequate segregation of duties within the Company due to its reliance on a few individuals to fill multiple roles and responsibilities. Our failure to segregate duties has been a material weakness for the period covering this report.

 

Sufficiency of Accounting Resources. The Company has limited accounting personnel to prepare its financial statements and handle complex accounting transactions. The insufficiency of our accounting resources has been a material weakness for the period covering this report.

 

The Company did not maintain effective controls over accounting for certain transactions related to the spin-off from the former Parent, BBHC. As a result, the Company recorded in its Annual Report on Form 10-K land and building fixed assets, a promissory note and two future revenue payable agreements that were assets and obligations of the former Parent. The error resulted in the revision of our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019. Accordingly, our management has determined this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.

 

39

 

 

As a result of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described above, the Company’s management has concluded that, as of September 30, 2020, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective based on the criteria in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the COSO.

 

This report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. We were not required to have, nor have we, engaged the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm to perform an audit of internal control over financial reporting pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

 

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

 

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15 or 15d-15 under the Exchange Act that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2020 that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on June 4, 2020, the Company engaged a highly reputable outside accounting firm to assist us with improving our internal controls over financial reporting such that we will be well positioned to have our independent registered public accounting firm conduct a Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404 audit in connection with our 2020 Annual Report. To date, the Company has completed a number of key steps in the process, including but not limited to, all employee interviews, finalization of our financial reporting narrative, finalization of our accounts payable narrative, and finalization of our accounts receivable narrative.

 

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

 

The Company is involved in certain claims and pending litigation arising from the normal conduct of its business. Many of these claims are covered in whole or in part by insurance. Based on knowledge of the facts and, in certain cases, opinions of outside counsel, management believes that adequate provisions have been made for probable losses with respect to the resolution of all such claims and pending litigation and that the ultimate outcome, after provisions therefor, will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company, but could have a material effect on the results of operations in a given quarter or year.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

 

Risks Relating to Our Business

 

The ongoing coronavirus outbreak, and measures taken in response thereto, could continue to have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

During the first quarter of 2020, the outbreak of COVID-19 evolved into a global pandemic, which caused a significant downturn in the global economy. There are various uncertainties that have arisen from the COVID-19 pandemic. While management is continuing to monitor the impact of the pandemic on the Company, including its employees, customers, stockholders, and other business partners and stakeholders, it is difficult to predict the impact that the pandemic will have on future results of its operations, financial position, and liquidity, if any. This has caused some uncertainties around various accounting estimates. Due to these uncertainties, our accounting estimates may change, as management’s assessment of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve.

 

40

 

 

We have a significant amount of goodwill and other intangible assets on our balance sheet that are subject to periodic impairment evaluations; an impairment of our goodwill or other intangible assets may have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

 

As of September 2020, we had goodwill of approximately $21 million, which represented approximately 28.8% of our total assets. Accounting standards require us to test goodwill for impairment annually, and more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate impairment may exist. There can be no assurance that reviews of our goodwill and other intangible assets will not result in impairment charges. Although it does not affect cash flow, an impairment charge does have the effect of decreasing our earnings, assets and stockholders’ equity. Factors that could indicate our goodwill or intangible assets are impaired include a decline in our stock price and market capitalization or lower than projected operating results and cash flows. Our stock price historically has shown volatility and often fluctuates significantly in response to market and other factors. Declines in our stock price or lower operating results could increase the risk of impairment. If we determine that further impairment exists, it may result in a significant non-cash charge to earnings and lower stockholders’ equity.

 

Pending and future litigation and government investigations may have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

 

In the normal course of our business, we may be involved in various legal proceedings. The outcome of these proceedings cannot be predicted. If any of these proceedings were to be determined adversely to us or a settlement involving a payment of a material sum of money were to occur, it could materially and adversely affect our profits or ability to operate our business. Additionally, we could become the subject of future claims by third parties, including our employees, suppliers, customers, and other counterparties, our investors, or regulators. Any significant adverse judgments or settlements would reduce our profits and could limit our ability to operate our business. Further, we may incur costs related to claims for which we have appropriate third-party indemnity, but such third parties may fail to fulfill their contractual obligations.

 

For a discussion identifying additional risk factors and other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated, see the discussions under Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.

 

Our existing senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility contains various affirmative covenants, negative covenants, and default provisions. Failure to comply with these covenants or an event of default could cause the related indebtedness to become due and payable, limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness, and put our assets at risk.

 

The lenders’ obligation to extend credit under our existing senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility depends upon, among other things, our compliance with certain covenants. The credit facility also contains customary events of default, such as the failure to pay obligations when due, the Borrowers’ failure to perform its obligations and observe covenants under the credit facility, initiation of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings, making prohibited payments on subordinated indebtedness, and defaulting on material third party agreements. Upon an event of default, our lender may, subject to certain rights to cure, require the immediate payment of all amounts outstanding under the credit facility. In addition, during the occurrence of an event of default, outstanding amounts shall bear interest at an additional 5.0% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise applicable. Additionally, our credit facility is secured by all of our assets.

 

If we were to default, we would attempt to cure, obtain a waiver from our lender, or refinance. In the event we are unable to remedy a default, obtain a waiver, or refinance, we may not have sufficient cash on hand to pay the credit facility in full at the time of any default. In addition, the lender could attempt to foreclose on our assets. This could restrict our ability to obtain future financing or incur additional indebtedness on terms favorable to us and potentially disrupt our operations. As such, any default could have a material adverse effect on our business, operations or financial results.

 

Risks Related to our Common Stock

 

Sales of our shares issued in our recent private placements may cause the market price of our shares to decline.

 

In a private placement offering conducted during the summer of 2020, we issued 12,500,000 shares of Common Stock to certain selling stockholders and, in a separate private placement offering conducted in the same timeframe, we issued warrants to purchase 93,500,000 shares of Common Stock to certain selling stockholders. We have registered with the SEC all of those shares of Common Stock and shares of Common Stock underlying those warrants for resale pursuant to a registration statement declared effective by the SEC in August 2020. All of these shares may be freely sold in the open market. In addition, in a private placement offering that occurred in October 2020 we issued 108,500,000 shares of Common Stock to certain selling stockholders and, in an exchange transaction that occurred in October 2020, we issued 20,037,020 shares of Common Stock to certain selling stockholders in exchange for all or a portion of their convertible debentures. We have registered with the SEC all of those shares of Common Stock for resale pursuant to a registration statement declared effective by the SEC in November 2020. All of these shares may be freely sold in the open market.

 

In addition, in a private placement offering that occurred in November 2020, we issued 104,250,000 shares of Common Stock to certain selling stockholders We will register with the SEC all of the shares of Common Stock issued in the November 2020 private placement pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement we entered into with the selling stockholders in connection with the private placement offering that occurred in November 2020. Upon effectiveness of the registration statement, these shares may also be freely sold in the open market.

 

The shares issued during the summer of 2020, October 2020, and November 2020 represent a significant portion of our daily trading volume. The sale of a significant number of shares in the open market, or the perception that these sales may occur, could cause the trading price of our Common Stock to decline or become highly volatile.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

 

During the third quarter of 2020, the Company had the following unregistered sales of equity securities:

 

On September 1, 2020, we issued 576,923 shares of restricted common stock as partial payment for rent due under a corporate office lease. The shares were issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, or the Securities Act.

 

On August 25, 2020, we issued 200,000 shares of restricted common stock to a consultant for services rendered or to be rendered. The shares were issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act.

 

On August 21, 2020, we issued 200,000 shares of restricted common stock to a consultant for services rendered or to be rendered. The shares were issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act.

 

On August 20, 2020, the Company issued 2,500,000 shares of restricted common stock for no additional consideration to certain accredited investors pursuant to obligations under the terms of a private placement originally disclosed on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 18, 2020. The shares were issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act.

 

Pursuant to a Purchase Agreement under which the Company acquired the entire intellectual property portfolio of BBHC, Inc., on August 19, 2020, the Company issued 7,092,199 shares of restricted common stock to BBHC, Inc. The shares of restricted common stock were issued in reliance upon an exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

 

On August 12, 2020, the Company issued a total of 200,000 shares of restricted common stock in connection with certain financial obligations related to a transaction the Company closed in May 2020. The shares were issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act.

 

In a private placement offering that closed on August 7, 2020, the Company sold a principal amount of $7,650,000 convertible debentures convertible into 85,000,000 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.09 based on the face value of those convertible debentures. The convertible debentures are convertible into shares of Common Stock based on such principal amount outstanding plus all accrued but unpaid interest and all other amounts, costs, expenses, and liquidated damages due in respect of the debentures.
