NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION

 

Blue Biofuels, Inc (the “Company”) is a technology company focused on emerging technologies in renewable energy, biofuels, and lignin.

 

In early 2018, the Company’s chief executive officer (“CEO”) Ben Slager invented a new reactor technology with a higher yield and a continuous throughput in the Cellulose-to-Sugar process, or CTS, and the Company filed a process patent application for this technology. Mr. Slager has since further developed the system with the technical staff of the Company. The CTS patent was awarded in 2021 in the United States (U.S. Patent No. 10,994,255) and also in Japan and El Salvador. The Company also filed this patent in other major jurisdictions of the world including the European Patent Organization, Australia, Brazil, China, the African Regional Intellectual Property Organization, and the Russian Federation. The patent applications are currently pending in all of these international jurisdictions. In addition to this patent, the Company has received one additional patent (for which it has also applied in all the above-mentioned jurisdictions). Further, the company has filed for 4 other patents which are currently pending.

 

Mr. Slager has since further developed the system with the technical staff of the Company. The patented CTS process is a continuous mechanical/chemical dry process for breaking down cellulosic material for conversion into biofuels. CTS can break down any cellulosic material – including grasses and agricultural waste. The CTS mechanical/chemical process allows for exact process control to ensure that all the material passing through it does so on the optimum reaction parameters through which optimal efficiency is achieved.

 

The new technology made it worthwhile to financially restructure the Company through Chapter 11. The Company voluntarily filed for Chapter 11 on October 22, 2018, in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the Southern District of Florida. The Company exited Chapter 11 on September 18, 2019, while keeping all classes, including shareholders, unimpaired. The bankruptcy case was closed on October 25, 2019.

 

CTS is environmentally friendly in that it recycles the water and catalyst, and it has a low carbon footprint: the amount of added atmospheric carbon created by burning the biofuels produced by the CTS system was absorbed by the plant-based feedstock while growing and is merely released back into the atmosphere. No extra CO2 is released into the atmosphere when our biofuels are burned. This is to be distinguished from fossil fuels because new CO2 is released when fossil fuels are burned.

 

The Company believes a significant difference between CTS cellulosic ethanol and corn ethanol is the wide range of abundantly available feedstocks that CTS can process compared to just corn as the feedstock. The CTS feedstocks are nonfood and have much lower costs than corn. In addition, while in corn ethanol only the corn kernels are used, CTS uses the whole plant or its waste products, meaning it could obtain much higher yields per acre.

 

In 2022, the Company partnered with K.R. Komarek to build its CTS machines going forward. Komarek is an industry leading manufacturing company that builds briquetting machines and compaction/granulation systems with throughput capacities up to 50 tons per hour.

 

In 2023, the Company completed the build-out of a pilot plant based on a modified Komarek machine and is in the process of further testing and optimizing the plant. The Company believes that it can optimize the pre and post processing elements at this pilot scale plant to finalize design and operational parameters to provide operating cost estimates of a full-scale commercial volume system. Due to its mechanical nature and modularity, we anticipate that one plant would have multiple modular CTS systems.

In addition, the Company has licensed the Vertimass Process to convert ethanol into sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and other renewable biofuels including bio-gasoline. The license agreement with Vertimass is the subject to a confidentiality agreement between the parties.

 

Plan of Operation

 

The total process from cellulosic feedstock to SAF consists basically of three steps:

 

  1) Conversion from feedstock to fermentable cellulosic sugars (CTS)
  2) Ferment the cellulosic sugars into cellulosic ethanol.
  3) Covert the ethanol into SAF and related products. This third step happens with the Vertimass technology which the Company has licensed.

 

Given the fact that the Vertimass technology is mature and ready for production, the Company is reviewing whether to start executing on SAF production on a 10 million gallon per year level, and then add the first two steps on to it in a later phase when CTS is fully commercialized. The Company intends to build commercial CTS and ethanol facilities on the front-end to produce cellulosic SAF and generate the large D7 RIN and other government credits. Commencing commercial production will require project financing.

 

Any new biofuels plant that is built would require various government permits. In particular, renewable fuels are subject to rigorous testing and premarket approval requirements by the EPA’s Office of Transportation and Air Quality and regulatory authorities in other countries. In the U.S., various federal, and, in some cases, state statutes and regulations also govern or impact the manufacturing, safety, storage and use of renewable fuels. The process of seeking required approvals and the continuing need for compliance with applicable statutes and regulations requires the expenditure of resources. The Company anticipates raising the necessary capital for this as a part of its project-based financing.

 

The ethanol industry is competitive with over 200 ethanol plants in the United States alone. Currently, the vast majority use corn as feedstock. Their profitability depends highly on the fluctuations between the price of corn and the price of ethanol. Since the Company does not plan to use corn, and plans on having long-term purchase agreements with cellulosic feedstock suppliers, we anticipate that our profitability will be more consistent. Further, cellulosic biofuels yield much higher incentives than non-cellulosic biofuels.

 

The Energy Policy Act of 2005, which included the Renewable Fuel Standard Program enforced by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), mandates a certain amount of renewable fuel be blended into the transportation fuel used by all vehicles in the country. This Program provides monetary incentives to companies that produce renewable transportation fuel, and establishes Renewable Identification Numbers (RINs) or credits for each gallon of renewable transportation fuel produced in the United States, and breaks down those fuels into different D-codes depending on the source of the renewable fuel. D3 is the code for renewable ethanol that comes from cellulosic materials. The EPA’s final D3 RIN volume mandates for cellulosic biofuel include 840 million gallons for 2023, 1.09 billion gallons for 2024, and 1.38 billion gallons for 2025 (the D3 mandate). This mandate has increased every year and is statutorily mandated to increase in the future and become a larger portion of the full renewable fuels mandate, if and when cellulosic biofuels can be produced profitably in larger and larger quantities. The RFS mandate for 2023 calls for 20.94 billion gallons of total renewable fuel, 15 billion from conventional biofuels (corn ethanol) and 5.94 billion from advanced biofuels, including cellulosic biofuels. The “blend wall” (or upper limit to the amount of ethanol that can be blended into U.S. gasoline and automobile performance and comply with the Clean Air Act) of limiting ethanol content in gasoline to 10%, limits the total amount of ethanol consumed in the United States. Recent proposals have make 15% blending available year around in some states. The value of the D3 RIN fluctuates, but as of this filing, it is approximately $3.53 per gallon of ethanol. For comparison, the D6 RIN for corn ethanol is $0.79. To profit from these incentives, the Company plans to apply for these D3 RIN credits as it brings its first plant into commercial operation.

 

Section 45Z of the Inflation Reduction Act passed on August 16, 2022, offers a Clean Fuel Production Credit (CFPC) per gallon of transportation fuel produced with a base amount of 20 cents per gallon or up to $1 per gallon for a qualified facility (depending on its carbon index) that was built while paying at least prevailing wages and which met apprenticeship requirements. For sustainable aviation fuel, those figures are 35 cents and $1.75 per gallon respectively. The Company plans to apply for CFPC credits when it begins building its commercial facilities. The CFPC currently does not apply to transportation fuel sold after December 31, 2027.

 

A Low Carbon Fuel Standard Credit (LCFS) is offered by various states (primarily California) for any amount of reduced CO2 in the production lifecycle of transportation fuels as compared to the amount of CO2 emitted in the production lifecycle of fossil fuels. The production lifecycle includes transportation costs to the point of use. California is currently offering around $67.00 per metric ton of CO2 reduction. When it is closer to commercial production, the Company plans to analyze the cost effectiveness of applying for these LCFS credits to determine in which state it could earn the most credits.

 

At commercial scale, management expects to be able to earn substantial renewable fuel credits and produce sustainable ethanol, sustainable aviation fuel, and other sustainable biofuels more profitably than they could be from existing commercial corn ethanol producers. Cellulosic ethanol comes with a much more valuable D3 RIN credit as compared to the D6 RIN allocated to corn ethanol; cellulosic SAF comes with a very valuable D7 RIN, and cellulosic bio-gasoline comes with a valuable D3 RIN. The Company also expects to receive Clean Fuel Production Credits related to section 45Z of the Inflation Reduction Act, whereas these credits are so far not available for corn ethanol producers; and the Company also plans to pursue Low Carbon Fuel Standard Credits.

 

After its first plant is profitable, the Company intends to grow with additional plants in the United States and explore international growth by either licensing the CTS technology or forming joint ventures with foreign domestic partners to build plants.

 

The Company believes that its management and consultants have significant experience in the development of technologies from concept to commercialization. As of this date, the Company has not generated any material revenues from its business.

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern, which assumes the Company will realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not generated any significant revenue since inception and has incurred losses since inception. As of September 30, 2023, the Company has incurred accumulated losses of $55,331,869. The Company expects to incur significant additional losses and liabilities in connection with its start-up and commercialization activities. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities when they become due and to generate sufficient revenues from its operations to pay its operating expenses. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classifications of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classifications of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty. There are no assurances that the Company will continue as a going concern.

 

Management believes that the Company’s future success is dependent upon its ability to achieve profitable operations, generate cash from operating activities, and obtain additional financing. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to generate sufficient cash from operations, or sell additional shares of stock or borrow additional funds. The Company’s inability to obtain additional cash could have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations, and its ability to continue in existence. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively affected the U.S. and global economies, disrupted global supply chains, resulted in significant travel and transport restrictions, including mandated closures and orders to “shelter-in-place,” and created significant disruption of the financial markets. We are closely monitoring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of our business, including how it will impact our supply chain, employees, and potential future customers. Our office and lab have remained open during the pandemic. Nevertheless, the pandemic slowed our ability to commercialize our process in two ways: by adversely affecting our ability to raise capital, and by adversely affecting the supply chain of laboratory equipment and various parts of upgrades to our CTS system, which slowed the development of our prototypes. Supply chain issues also delayed the delivery of various parts of our pilot plant. The extent to which our operations may be further impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic will depend largely on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted. We may experience additional operating costs due to increased challenges with our workforce (including as a result of illness, absenteeism or government orders), access to supplies, capital, and fundamental support services (such as shipping and transportation). Even after the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, we may experience materially adverse impacts to our business due to any resulting economic recession or depression. Furthermore, the effects of a potential worsening of global economic conditions and the continued disruptions to and volatility in the financial markets remain unknown.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, after elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions. Investments in business entities in which the Company lacks control but has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies are accounted for using the equity method. All material intercompany transactions and balances were eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the dates presented and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods presented. Significant estimates inherent in the preparation of the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include estimates of impairment assessment of identifiable intangible assets and valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. Estimates are based on past experience and other considerations reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

All highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase are considered to be cash equivalents.

 

Stock Compensation

 

The Company recognizes the cost of all share-based payments under the relevant authoritative accounting guidance. Share-based payments include any remuneration paid by the Company in shares of the Company’s common stock or financial instruments that grant the recipient the right to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock. For share-based payments to employees, which consist only of awards made under the stock option plan described below, the Company accounts for the payments in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 718, “Stock Compensation” (formerly referred to as SFAS No. 123(R)). Share-based payments to consultants, service providers and other non-employees are accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 718, ASC Topic 505, “Equity Payments to Non-Employees” or other applicable authoritative guidance.

 

Stock-based Compensation Valuation Methodology

 

Stock-based compensation resulting from the issuance of common stock is calculated by reference to the valuation of the stock on the date of issuance, the expense being recognized as the compensation is earned. Stock-based compensation expenses related to employee options and warrants granted to non-employees are recognized as the stock options and warrants are earned. The fair value of the stock options or warrants granted is estimated at the grant date, using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, and the expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the period over which services are to be received or the life of the option or warrant. The grant date fair value of employee share options and similar instruments is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model on the basis of the fair value of the underlying common stock on the measurement date, adjusted for the unique characteristics of those equity instruments, using the assumptions noted in the table below. The fair value of the common stock is determined by the then-prevailing closing market price. Expected volatility was based on the historical volatility of the Company’s closing day market price per share. The expected term of options and warrants was based upon the life of the option, and the risk-free rate used was based on the U.S. Treasury Daily Yield Curve Rate.

 

The stock compensation issued for services during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, were valued on the date of issuance. The following assumptions were used in calculations of the Black-Scholes option pricing models for warrant-based stock compensation issued in the nine months ended September 30, 2023:

 

   2/10/23   2/14/23   3/1/23   3/31/23   4/5/23   4/11/23 
Risk-free interest rate   3.93%   3.77%   4.01%   3.60%   3.30%   3.54%
Expected life   5 years    10 years    10 years    5 years    10 years    5 years 
Expected dividends   0%   0%   0%   0%   0%   0%
Expected volatility   123.25%   123.26%   123.52%   120.71%   119.51%   119.39%
BIOF common stock fair value  $0.159   $0.159   $0.177   $0.166   $0.154   $0.145

Expected volatility   119.28%   103.20%   90.70%   87.22%
BIOF common stock fair value  $0.165   $0.170   $0.160   $0.160 

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided for on a straight-line basis over the useful lives of the assets, generally 5 to 10 years. Expenditures for additions and improvements are capitalized; repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

 

Patent Capitalization

 

If a product is currently under research and development and is not currently approved for market, costs incurred in connection with patent applications should generally be expensed in the income statement because there is uncertainty as to the future economic benefit of the asset. Conversely, if a product is approved for market (as is the case of the end product ethanol of the CTS process), or if future economic benefit is probable, or if an alternative future use is available to the Company, then such patent costs can be capitalized and amortized over the expected life of the patent(s). Since the Company’s primary end product is sugar converting to ethanol, which are in wide use, the Company has determined that it is reasonable to capitalize the patent costs associated with its CTS process, which were $247,854 as of September 30, 2023 and $222,109 as of December 31, 2022.

 

Research and Development

 

The Company expenses all research and development costs as incurred. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, and September 30, 2022, the amounts charged to research and development expenses were $1,741,318 and $2,070,789, respectively.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company follows FASB ASC 606 “Revenue Recognition” and recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. The Company’s revenues will be derived principally from joint ventures, royalties and eventually corporate owned plants. However, no sales have occurred through those revenue streams to date. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met:

 

  1. persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;
  2. the product has been shipped or the services have been rendered to the customer;
  3. the sales price is fixed or determinable; and,
  4. collectability is reasonably assured.

Common Stock Purchase Warrants and Other Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company classifies as equity any contracts that require physical settlement or net-share settlement or provide it with a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in the Company’s own shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement) provided that such contracts are indexed to its own stock as defined in ASC 815-40 (“Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity”). The Company classifies as assets or liabilities any contracts that require net-cash settlement (including a requirement to net cash settle the contract if an event occurs and if that event is outside the Company’s control) or give the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement). The Company assesses the classification of its common stock purchase warrants and other free-standing derivatives at each reporting date to determine whether a change in classification between assets and liabilities is required.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable. If events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable, the Company compares the carrying amount of the asset group to future undiscounted net cash flows, excluding interest costs, expected to be generated by the asset group and their ultimate disposition. If the sum of the undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds the fair value of the asset group. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” Under this method, income tax expense is recognized for the amount of: (i) taxes payable or refundable for the current year and (ii) deferred tax consequences of temporary differences resulting from matters that have been recognized in an entity’s financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if based on the weight of the available positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

ASC Topic 740.10.30 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC Topic 740.10.40 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. The Company has no material uncertain tax positions for any of the reporting periods presented.

 

Profit (Loss) per Common Share:

 

Basic profit (loss) per share amounts have been calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each reporting period. Diluted loss per share has been calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares plus the potentially dilutive effect of securities such as outstanding options and warrants. The computation of potential common shares has been performed using the treasury stock method. The warrants and options are antidilutive for all periods presented. When net loss is reported, diluted and basic net loss per share amounts are the same as the impact of potential common shares is antidilutive.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, which defines fair value as used in numerous accounting pronouncements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure of fair value measurements.

 

The estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, payables to related parties, and accounts payable and accrued expenses are carried at historical cost basis, which approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

 

ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

 

Level 2 — quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable

 

Level 3 — inputs that are unobservable (for example cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions)

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other standard setting bodies that may have an impact on the Company’s accounting and reporting. The Company believes that such recently issued accounting pronouncements and other authoritative guidance for which the effective date is in the future either will not have an impact on its accounting or reporting or that such impact will not be material to its financial position, results of operations, and cash flows when implemented.

NOTE 8 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Litigation

 

The Company is subject, from time to time, to litigation, claims and suits arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company is not in any litigation at this time.

 

Cybersecurity

 

No material cybersecurity breach has occurred.

 

Leases

 

The Company currently leases office and laboratory space in Palm Beach Gardens, FL, that is classified as operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date for leases exceeding 12 months. The lease period was for twenty-four (24) months from November 1, 2019, to October 31, 2021. This had been extended for one year until October 31, 2022, and was further extended for two more years until October 31, 2024. Annual rent commenced at $84,100 per annum and increased 3% per year. The latest amendment adjusted the lease to $102,950 per annum and increases at 3% per year. Tenant is also required to cover operating costs that are estimated at $3,600 per month. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included in General & Administrative expenses.

 

ASC 842 was effective for us beginning January 1, 2019. The adoption had a material impact on our consolidated balance sheets, but did not have a material impact on our consolidated income statements. The most significant impact was the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities for operating leases.

 

In addition, the Company leases land in Arcadia, FL where it grows king grass. The original lease began on September 1, 2020, and was for 18.2 acres at an annual cost of $6,370 that the Company has the right to renew for a total of 5 years. A second lease began on March 31, 2023, for an additional 167.6 acres at a cost of $24,721 every 6 months that the Company also can continue for up to 5 years. Since those leases can be terminated at will, they are not included in the ROU or lease liability on the Company’s balance sheet.

 

Rent expense for the nine months ending September 30, 2023, and 2022, were $183,537 and $106,631, respectively.

 

The Company recognized the following related to leases in its Consolidated Balance Sheet:

Business Overview

 

Blue Biofuels, Inc (the “Company”) is a technology company focused on emerging technologies in renewable energy, biofuels, and lignin.

 

In early 2018, the Company’s chief executive officer (“CEO”) Ben Slager invented a new reactor technology with a higher yield and a continuous throughput in the Cellulose-to-Sugar process, or CTS, and the Company filed a process patent application for this technology. Mr. Slager has since further developed the system with the technical staff of the Company. The CTS patent was awarded in 2021 in the United States (U.S. Patent No. 10,994,255) and also in Japan and El Salvador. The Company also filed this patent in other major jurisdictions of the world including the European Patent Organization, Australia, Brazil, China, the African Regional Intellectual Property Organization, and the Russian Federation. The patent applications are currently pending in all of these international jurisdictions. In addition to this patent, the Company has received one additional patent (for which it has also applied in all the above-mentioned jurisdictions). Further, the company has filed for 4 other patents which are currently pending.

Mr. Slager has since further developed the system with the technical staff of the Company. The patented CTS process is a continuous mechanical/chemical dry process for breaking down cellulosic material for conversion into biofuels. CTS can break down any cellulosic material – including grasses and agricultural waste. The CTS mechanical/chemical process allows for exact process control to ensure that all the material passing through it does so on the optimum reaction parameters through which optimal efficiency is achieved.

 

The new technology made it worthwhile to financially restructure the Company through Chapter 11. The Company voluntarily filed for Chapter 11 on October 22, 2018, in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the Southern District of Florida. The Company exited Chapter 11 on September 18, 2019, while keeping all classes, including shareholders, unimpaired. The bankruptcy case was closed on October 25, 2019.

 

CTS is environmentally friendly in that it recycles the water and catalyst, and it has a low carbon footprint: the amount of added atmospheric carbon created by burning the biofuels produced by the CTS system was absorbed by the plant-based feedstock while growing and is merely released back into the atmosphere. No extra CO2 is released into the atmosphere when our biofuels are burned. This is to be distinguished from fossil fuels because new CO2 is released when fossil fuels are burned.

 

The Company believes a significant difference between CTS cellulosic ethanol and corn ethanol is the wide range of abundantly available feedstocks that CTS can process compared to just corn as the feedstock. The CTS feedstocks are nonfood and have much lower costs than corn. In addition, while in corn ethanol only the corn kernels are used, CTS uses the whole plant or its waste products, meaning it could obtain much higher yields per acre.

 

In 2022, the Company partnered with K.R. Komarek to build its CTS machines going forward. Komarek is an industry leading manufacturing company that builds briquetting machines and compaction/granulation systems with throughput capacities up to 50 tons per hour.

 

In 2023, the Company completed the build-out of a pilot plant based on a modified Komarek machine and is in the process of further testing and optimizing the plant.

 

The Company believes that it can optimize the pre and post processing elements at this pilot scale plant to finalize design and operational parameters to provide operating cost estimates of a full-scale commercial volume system. Due to its mechanical nature and modularity, we anticipate that one plant would have multiple modular CTS systems.

In addition, the Company has licensed the Vertimass Process to convert ethanol into sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and other renewable biofuels including bio-gasoline. The license agreement with Vertimass is the subject to a confidentiality agreement between the parties.

 

Plan of Operation

 

The total process from cellulosic feedstock to SAF consists basically of three steps:

 

  4) Conversion from feedstock to fermentable cellulosic sugars (CTS)
  5) Ferment the cellulosic sugars into cellulosic ethanol.
  6) Covert the ethanol into SAF and related products. This third step happens with the Vertimass technology which the Company has licensed.

 

Given the fact that the Vertimass technology is mature and ready for production, the Company is reviewing whether to start executing on SAF production on a 10 million gallon per year level, and then add the first two steps on to it in a later phase when CTS is fully commercialized. The Company intends to build commercial CTS and ethanol facilities on the front-end to produce cellulosic SAF and generate the large D7 RIN and other government credits. Commencing commercial production will require project financing.

 

Any new biofuels plant that is built would require various government permits. In particular, renewable fuels are subject to rigorous testing and premarket approval requirements by the EPA’s Office of Transportation and Air Quality and regulatory authorities in other countries. In the U.S., various federal, and, in some cases, state statutes and regulations also govern or impact the manufacturing, safety, storage and use of renewable fuels. The process of seeking required approvals and the continuing need for compliance with applicable statutes and regulations requires the expenditure of resources. The Company anticipates raising the necessary capital for this as a part of its project-based financing.

 

The ethanol industry is competitive with over 200 ethanol plants in the United States alone. Currently, the vast majority use corn as feedstock. Their profitability depends highly on the fluctuations between the price of corn and the price of ethanol. Since the Company does not plan to use corn, and plans on having long-term purchase agreements with cellulosic feedstock suppliers, we anticipate that our profitability will be more consistent. Further, cellulosic biofuels yield much higher incentives than non-cellulosic biofuels.

 

The Energy Policy Act of 2005, which included the Renewable Fuel Standard Program enforced by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), mandates a certain amount of renewable fuel be blended into the transportation fuel used by all vehicles in the country. This Program provides monetary incentives to companies that produce renewable transportation fuel, and establishes Renewable Identification Numbers (RINs) or credits for each gallon of renewable transportation fuel produced in the United States, and breaks down those fuels into different D-codes depending on the source of the renewable fuel. D3 is the code for renewable ethanol that comes from cellulosic materials. The EPA’s final D3 RIN volume mandates for cellulosic biofuel include 840 million gallons for 2023, 1.09 billion gallons for 2024, and 1.38 billion gallons for 2025 (the D3 mandate). This mandate has increased every year and is statutorily mandated to increase in the future and become a larger portion of the full renewable fuels mandate, if and when cellulosic biofuels can be produced profitably in larger and larger quantities. The RFS mandate for 2023 calls for 20.94 billion gallons of total renewable fuel, 15 billion from conventional biofuels (corn ethanol) and 5.94 billion from advanced biofuels, including cellulosic biofuels. The “blend wall” (or upper limit to the amount of ethanol that can be blended into U.S. gasoline and automobile performance and comply with the Clean Air Act) of limiting ethanol content in gasoline to 10%, limits the total amount of ethanol consumed in the United States. Recent proposals have make 15% blending available year around in some states. The value of the D3 RIN fluctuates, but as of this filing, it is approximately $3.53 per gallon of ethanol. For comparison, the D6 RIN for corn ethanol is $0.79. To profit from these incentives, the Company plans to apply for these D3 RIN credits as it brings its first plant into commercial operation.

 

Section 45Z of the Inflation Reduction Act passed on August 16, 2022, offers a Clean Fuel Production Credit (CFPC) per gallon of transportation fuel produced with a base amount of 20 cents per gallon or up to $1 per gallon for a qualified facility (depending on its carbon index) that was built while paying at least prevailing wages and which met apprenticeship requirements. For sustainable aviation fuel, those figures are 35 cents and $1.75 per gallon respectively. The Company plans to apply for CFPC credits when it begins building its commercial facilities. The CFPC currently does not apply to transportation fuel sold after December 31, 2027.

 

A Low Carbon Fuel Standard Credit (LCFS) is offered by various states (primarily California) for any amount of reduced CO2 in the production lifecycle of transportation fuels as compared to the amount of CO2 emitted in the production lifecycle of fossil fuels. The production lifecycle includes transportation costs to the point of use. California is currently offering around $67.00 per metric ton of CO2 reduction. When it is closer to commercial production, the Company plans to analyze the cost effectiveness of applying for these LCFS credits to determine in which state it could earn the most credits.

 

At commercial scale, management expects to be able to earn substantial renewable fuel credits and produce sustainable ethanol, sustainable aviation fuel, and other sustainable biofuels more profitably than they could be from existing commercial corn ethanol producers. Cellulosic ethanol comes with a much more valuable D3 RIN credit as compared to the D6 RIN allocated to corn ethanol; cellulosic SAF comes with a very valuable D7 RIN, and cellulosic bio-gasoline comes with a valuable D3 RIN. The Company also expects to receive Clean Fuel Production Credits related to section 45Z of the Inflation Reduction Act, whereas these credits are so far not available for corn ethanol producers; and the Company also plans to pursue Low Carbon Fuel Standard Credits.

 

After its first plant is profitable, the Company intends to grow with additional plants in the United States and explore international growth by either licensing the CTS technology or forming joint ventures with foreign domestic partners to build plants.

 

The Company believes that its management and consultants have significant experience in the development of technologies from concept to commercialization. As of this date, the Company has not generated any material revenues from its business.

Capital Formation

 

From January 1, 2023, through the date of filing, the Company issued an aggregate of 174,194 shares of its common stock for services valued at $29,300.

 

From January 1, 2023, through the date of filing, the Company issued an aggregate of 714,000 warrants for services valued at $78,438.

 

From January 1, 2023, through the date of filing, the Company issued an aggregate of 6,684,998 shares of its common stock for capital of $1,002,772.

 

From January 1, 2023, through the date of filing, 5,950,148 warrants were exercised for $97,250.

 

From January 1, 2023, through the date of filing, the Company issued unvested options to its managers and employees to purchase 17,150,000 shares of its common stock for a period of ten years at the exercise price of 16 to 20 cents per share. Using a Black-Scholes asset-pricing model, these agreements were valued at $2,835,613. None of those have vested. 1,000,000 vested options were issued at exercise prices between 16 and 19 cents. 3,385,000 previously issued options have vested. Using a Black-Scholes option pricing model, these vested options have a valuation of $637,028.

 

From January 1, 2023, through the date of filing, 7,175,000 options expired or were cancelled and 2,067,999 warrants expired.

 

Going Concern

 

The Company has incurred losses since inception, has a working capital deficiency, and may be unable to raise further capital. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had a working capital deficit of $1,066,285 and had incurred accumulated losses of $55,331,869 since its inception. The Company expects to incur significant additional losses in connection with its continued start-up activities. As a result, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern based upon recurring operating losses and its need to obtain additional financing to sustain operations. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities when they become due and to generate sufficient revenues from its operations to pay its operating expenses.

 

Results of Operations

 

Comparison of the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2023 (unaudited) to September 30, 2022

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized $0 in revenue as opposed to $0 in 2022.

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company’s general and administrative expenses increased by $40,648 to $219,160 from $178,512 in 2022. This increase is primarily the result of a $119,600 employee retention credit issued in 2022 related to COVID, versus $0 in 2023.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company’s general and administrative expenses decreased by $279,131 to $943,953 from $1,223,083 in 2022. This decrease is primarily the result of $169,382 in equity-based compensation versus $506,975 in 2022.

 

Interest expense decreased in the quarter ended September 30, 2023 by $10,362 to $25,661 from $36,024 in 2022. Interest expense increased in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 by $20,075 to $71,144 from $51,069 in 2022.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 the Company recorded non-cash impairments of assets of $369 as compared to $40,099 in 2022. This was the result of disposing and/or selling of laboratory assets no longer in use in each year.

 

Research and development (R&D) costs for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 were $293,674, a decrease of $110,483 from $404,157 in 2022. The decrease in R&D expenses is primarily the result of equity based compensation of $0 versus $99,479 in 2022.

 

21

 

 

Research and development (R&D) costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 were $1,741,318, a decrease of $329,471 from $2,070,789 in 2022. The decrease in R&D expenses is primarily the result of a decrease in equity based compensation to $467,646 from $1,019,330 in 2022 due to the vesting of more options in 2022.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Liquidity

 

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had $84,663 in cash, and total stockholders’ equity on September 30, 2023, was negative $3,092,403. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had $211,901 in cash, and total stockholders’ equity at December 31, 2022, was negative $2,356,917. Total debt, including advances, accounts payable and other notes payable at September 30, 2023, together with interest payable thereon and contingent liabilities, was $4,341,916 an increase of $879,080 from December 31, 2022, where it stood at $3,462,836. This increase is primarily attributable to new convertible notes due to related parties. $1,820,630 of the remaining debt has been renegotiated to be payable out of future revenue and $917,502 out of future profits and otherwise does not come due.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company’s net cash used in operating activities decreased by $91,776 to $1,494,477 from $1,586,253 in the nine months ending September 30, 2022.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company’s investing activities used $307,782 in cash, as compared to $104,301 in the first nine months of 2022. This can be primarily attributed to capitalizing $25,744 in patent costs and $282,038 used to purchase machinery and equipment, as compared to $42,501 in patent costs and $61,800 in net purchases of equipment in the first nine months of 2022.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company generated an aggregate of $1,675,022 through its financing activities versus $1,030,900 in the nine months ended September 30, 2022, which is an increase of $644,122. This increase from the prior year can primarily be attributed to the issuance of $625,000 in convertible notes to related parties in 2023.

 

Capital Resources

 

At this time, the Company has limited liquidity and capital resources. To continue funding its operations, the Company will need to generate revenue or obtain additional financing for current and future operations. The Company anticipates needing additional funds for G&A expenses and will seek project financing for a commercial ethanol to SAF facility in addition to funds needed to complete the commercialization of its CTS system. There is no guarantee that the Company will achieve all of the additional funding that is needed.

 

As of the date of this filing, the Company has raised $1,100,022 in 2023, through the issuance of shares and the exercise of warrants, plus $15,863,601 raised previously, in addition to capital raised through debt or convertible notes including $625,000 raised through convertible notes in 2023. However, there is no guarantee that the company will be able to raise any additional capital on terms acceptable to the Company.

 

The inability to obtain this funding either in the near term and/or longer term will materially affect the ability of the Company to implement its business plan of operations and jeopardize the viability of the Company. In that case, the Company may need to reevaluate and revise its operations.

 

Equity

 

As of September 30, 2023, shareholders’ equity was negative $3,092,403.

 

There were 302,750,963 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2023.

 

There were no preferred shares outstanding.

 

The Company has paid no dividends.

ORGANIZATION

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION

 

Blue Biofuels, Inc (the “Company”) is a technology company focused on emerging technologies in renewable energy, biofuels, and lignin.

 

In early 2018, the Company’s chief executive officer (“CEO”) Ben Slager invented a new reactor technology with a higher yield and a continuous throughput in the Cellulose-to-Sugar process, or CTS, and the Company filed a process patent application for this technology. Mr. Slager has since further developed the system with the technical staff of the Company. The CTS patent was awarded in 2021 in the United States (U.S. Patent No. 10,994,255) and also in Japan and El Salvador. The Company also filed this patent in other major jurisdictions of the world including the European Patent Organization, Australia, Brazil, China, the African Regional Intellectual Property Organization, and the Russian Federation. The patent applications are currently pending in all of these international jurisdictions. In addition to this patent, the Company has received one additional patent (for which it has also applied in all the above-mentioned jurisdictions). Further, the company has filed for 4 other patents which are currently pending.

 

Mr. Slager has since further developed the system with the technical staff of the Company. The patented CTS process is a continuous mechanical/chemical dry process for breaking down cellulosic material for conversion into biofuels. CTS can break down any cellulosic material – including grasses and agricultural waste. The CTS mechanical/chemical process allows for exact process control to ensure that all the material passing through it does so on the optimum reaction parameters through which optimal efficiency is achieved.

 

The new technology made it worthwhile to financially restructure the Company through Chapter 11. The Company voluntarily filed for Chapter 11 on October 22, 2018, in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the Southern District of Florida. The Company exited Chapter 11 on September 18, 2019, while keeping all classes, including shareholders, unimpaired. The bankruptcy case was closed on October 25, 2019.

 

CTS is environmentally friendly in that it recycles the water and catalyst, and it has a low carbon footprint: the amount of added atmospheric carbon created by burning the biofuels produced by the CTS system was absorbed by the plant-based feedstock while growing and is merely released back into the atmosphere. No extra CO2 is released into the atmosphere when our biofuels are burned. This is to be distinguished from fossil fuels because new CO2 is released when fossil fuels are burned.

 

The Company believes a significant difference between CTS cellulosic ethanol and corn ethanol is the wide range of abundantly available feedstocks that CTS can process compared to just corn as the feedstock. The CTS feedstocks are nonfood and have much lower costs than corn. In addition, while in corn ethanol only the corn kernels are used, CTS uses the whole plant or its waste products, meaning it could obtain much higher yields per acre.

 

In 2022, the Company partnered with K.R. Komarek to build its CTS machines going forward. Komarek is an industry leading manufacturing company that builds briquetting machines and compaction/granulation systems with throughput capacities up to 50 tons per hour.

 

In 2023, the Company completed the build-out of a pilot plant based on a modified Komarek machine and is in the process of further testing and optimizing the plant. The Company believes that it can optimize the pre and post processing elements at this pilot scale plant to finalize design and operational parameters to provide operating cost estimates of a full-scale commercial volume system. Due to its mechanical nature and modularity, we anticipate that one plant would have multiple modular CTS systems.

 

 

In addition, the Company has licensed the Vertimass Process to convert ethanol into sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and other renewable biofuels including bio-gasoline. The license agreement with Vertimass is the subject to a confidentiality agreement between the parties.

 

Plan of Operation

 

The total process from cellulosic feedstock to SAF consists basically of three steps:

 

  1) Conversion from feedstock to fermentable cellulosic sugars (CTS)
  2) Ferment the cellulosic sugars into cellulosic ethanol.
  3) Covert the ethanol into SAF and related products. This third step happens with the Vertimass technology which the Company has licensed.

 

Given the fact that the Vertimass technology is mature and ready for production, the Company is reviewing whether to start executing on SAF production on a 10 million gallon per year level, and then add the first two steps on to it in a later phase when CTS is fully commercialized. The Company intends to build commercial CTS and ethanol facilities on the front-end to produce cellulosic SAF and generate the large D7 RIN and other government credits. Commencing commercial production will require project financing.

 

Any new biofuels plant that is built would require various government permits. In particular, renewable fuels are subject to rigorous testing and premarket approval requirements by the EPA’s Office of Transportation and Air Quality and regulatory authorities in other countries. In the U.S., various federal, and, in some cases, state statutes and regulations also govern or impact the manufacturing, safety, storage and use of renewable fuels. The process of seeking required approvals and the continuing need for compliance with applicable statutes and regulations requires the expenditure of resources. The Company anticipates raising the necessary capital for this as a part of its project-based financing.

 

The ethanol industry is competitive with over 200 ethanol plants in the United States alone. Currently, the vast majority use corn as feedstock. Their profitability depends highly on the fluctuations between the price of corn and the price of ethanol. Since the Company does not plan to use corn, and plans on having long-term purchase agreements with cellulosic feedstock suppliers, we anticipate that our profitability will be more consistent. Further, cellulosic biofuels yield much higher incentives than non-cellulosic biofuels.

 

The Energy Policy Act of 2005, which included the Renewable Fuel Standard Program enforced by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), mandates a certain amount of renewable fuel be blended into the transportation fuel used by all vehicles in the country. This Program provides monetary incentives to companies that produce renewable transportation fuel, and establishes Renewable Identification Numbers (RINs) or credits for each gallon of renewable transportation fuel produced in the United States, and breaks down those fuels into different D-codes depending on the source of the renewable fuel. D3 is the code for renewable ethanol that comes from cellulosic materials. The EPA’s final D3 RIN volume mandates for cellulosic biofuel include 840 million gallons for 2023, 1.09 billion gallons for 2024, and 1.38 billion gallons for 2025 (the D3 mandate). This mandate has increased every year and is statutorily mandated to increase in the future and become a larger portion of the full renewable fuels mandate, if and when cellulosic biofuels can be produced profitably in larger and larger quantities. The RFS mandate for 2023 calls for 20.94 billion gallons of total renewable fuel, 15 billion from conventional biofuels (corn ethanol) and 5.94 billion from advanced biofuels, including cellulosic biofuels. The “blend wall” (or upper limit to the amount of ethanol that can be blended into U.S. gasoline and automobile performance and comply with the Clean Air Act) of limiting ethanol content in gasoline to 10%, limits the total amount of ethanol consumed in the United States. Recent proposals have make 15% blending available year around in some states. The value of the D3 RIN fluctuates, but as of this filing, it is approximately $3.53 per gallon of ethanol. For comparison, the D6 RIN for corn ethanol is $0.79. To profit from these incentives, the Company plans to apply for these D3 RIN credits as it brings its first plant into commercial operation.

 

Section 45Z of the Inflation Reduction Act passed on August 16, 2022, offers a Clean Fuel Production Credit (CFPC) per gallon of transportation fuel produced with a base amount of 20 cents per gallon or up to $1 per gallon for a qualified facility (depending on its carbon index) that was built while paying at least prevailing wages and which met apprenticeship requirements. For sustainable aviation fuel, those figures are 35 cents and $1.75 per gallon respectively. The Company plans to apply for CFPC credits when it begins building its commercial facilities. The CFPC currently does not apply to transportation fuel sold after December 31, 2027.

 

A Low Carbon Fuel Standard Credit (LCFS) is offered by various states (primarily California) for any amount of reduced CO2 in the production lifecycle of transportation fuels as compared to the amount of CO2 emitted in the production lifecycle of fossil fuels. The production lifecycle includes transportation costs to the point of use. California is currently offering around $67.00 per metric ton of CO2 reduction. When it is closer to commercial production, the Company plans to analyze the cost effectiveness of applying for these LCFS credits to determine in which state it could earn the most credits.

 

At commercial scale, management expects to be able to earn substantial renewable fuel credits and produce sustainable ethanol, sustainable aviation fuel, and other sustainable biofuels more profitably than they could be from existing commercial corn ethanol producers. Cellulosic ethanol comes with a much more valuable D3 RIN credit as compared to the D6 RIN allocated to corn ethanol; cellulosic SAF comes with a very valuable D7 RIN, and cellulosic bio-gasoline comes with a valuable D3 RIN. The Company also expects to receive Clean Fuel Production Credits related to section 45Z of the Inflation Reduction Act, whereas these credits are so far not available for corn ethanol producers; and the Company also plans to pursue Low Carbon Fuel Standard Credits.

 

After its first plant is profitable, the Company intends to grow with additional plants in the United States and explore international growth by either licensing the CTS technology or forming joint ventures with foreign domestic partners to build plants.

 

The Company believes that its management and consultants have significant experience in the development of technologies from concept to commercialization. As of this date, the Company has not generated any material revenues from its business.

GOING CONCERN

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern, which assumes the Company will realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not generated any significant revenue since inception and has incurred losses since inception. As of September 30, 2023, the Company has incurred accumulated losses of $55,331,869. The Company expects to incur significant additional losses and liabilities in connection with its start-up and commercialization activities. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities when they become due and to generate sufficient revenues from its operations to pay its operating expenses. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classifications of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classifications of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty. There are no assurances that the Company will continue as a going concern.

 

Management believes that the Company’s future success is dependent upon its ability to achieve profitable operations, generate cash from operating activities, and obtain additional financing. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to generate sufficient cash from operations, or sell additional shares of stock or borrow additional funds. The Company’s inability to obtain additional cash could have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations, and its ability to continue in existence. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively affected the U.S. and global economies, disrupted global supply chains, resulted in significant travel and transport restrictions, including mandated closures and orders to “shelter-in-place,” and created significant disruption of the financial markets. We are closely monitoring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of our business, including how it will impact our supply chain, employees, and potential future customers. Our office and lab have remained open during the pandemic. Nevertheless, the pandemic slowed our ability to commercialize our process in two ways: by adversely affecting our ability to raise capital, and by adversely affecting the supply chain of laboratory equipment and various parts of upgrades to our CTS system, which slowed the development of our prototypes. Supply chain issues also delayed the delivery of various parts of our pilot plant. The extent to which our operations may be further impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic will depend largely on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted. We may experience additional operating costs due to increased challenges with our workforce (including as a result of illness, absenteeism or government orders), access to supplies, capital, and fundamental support services (such as shipping and transportation). Even after the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, we may experience materially adverse impacts to our business due to any resulting economic recession or depression. Furthermore, the effects of a potential worsening of global economic conditions and the continued disruptions to and volatility in the financial markets remain unknown.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the Company’s majority-owned subsidiaries over which the Company exercises control.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, after elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions. Investments in business entities in which the Company lacks control but has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies are accounted for using the equity method. All material intercompany transactions and balances were eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the dates presented and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods presented. Significant estimates inherent in the preparation of the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include estimates of impairment assessment of identifiable intangible assets and valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. Estimates are based on past experience and other considerations reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

All highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase are considered to be cash equivalents.

 

Stock Compensation

 

The Company recognizes the cost of all share-based payments under the relevant authoritative accounting guidance. Share-based payments include any remuneration paid by the Company in shares of the Company’s common stock or financial instruments that grant the recipient the right to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock. For share-based payments to employees, which consist only of awards made under the stock option plan described below, the Company accounts for the payments in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 718, “Stock Compensation” (formerly referred to as SFAS No. 123(R)). Share-based payments to consultants, service providers and other non-employees are accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 718, ASC Topic 505, “Equity Payments to Non-Employees” or other applicable authoritative guidance.

 

Stock-based Compensation Valuation Methodology

 

Stock-based compensation resulting from the issuance of common stock is calculated by reference to the valuation of the stock on the date of issuance, the expense being recognized as the compensation is earned. Stock-based compensation expenses related to employee options and warrants granted to non-employees are recognized as the stock options and warrants are earned. The fair value of the stock options or warrants granted is estimated at the grant date, using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, and the expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the period over which services are to be received or the life of the option or warrant. The grant date fair value of employee share options and similar instruments is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model on the basis of the fair value of the underlying common stock on the measurement date, adjusted for the unique characteristics of those equity instruments, using the assumptions noted in the table below. The fair value of the common stock is determined by the then-prevailing closing market price. Expected volatility was based on the historical volatility of the Company’s closing day market price per share. The expected term of options and warrants was based upon the life of the option, and the risk-free rate used was based on the U.S. Treasury Daily Yield Curve Rate.

 

The stock compensation issued for services during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, were valued on the date of issuance. The following assumptions were used in calculations of the Black-Scholes option pricing models for warrant-based stock compensation issued in the nine months ended September 30, 2023:

 

   2/10/23   2/14/23   3/1/23   3/31/23   4/5/23   4/11/23 
Risk-free interest rate   3.93%   3.77%   4.01%   3.60%   3.30%   3.54%
Expected life   5 years    10 years    10 years    5 years    10 years    5 years 
Expected dividends   0%   0%   0%   0%   0%   0%
Expected volatility   123.25%   123.26%   123.52%   120.71%   119.51%   119.39%
BIOF common stock fair value  $0.159   $0.159   $0.177   $0.166   $0.154   $0.145 

 

   4/26/23   6/5/23   7/13/23   7/26/23 
Risk-free interest rate   3.46%   3.77%   3.93%   3.86%
Expected life   5 years    7 years    5 years    10 years 
Expected dividends   0%   0%   0%   0%
Expected volatility   119.28%   103.20%   90.70%   87.22%
BIOF common stock fair value  $0.165   $0.170   $0.160   $0.160 

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided for on a straight-line basis over the useful lives of the assets, generally 5 to 10 years. Expenditures for additions and improvements are capitalized; repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

 

Patent Capitalization

 

If a product is currently under research and development and is not currently approved for market, costs incurred in connection with patent applications should generally be expensed in the income statement because there is uncertainty as to the future economic benefit of the asset. Conversely, if a product is approved for market (as is the case of the end product ethanol of the CTS process), or if future economic benefit is probable, or if an alternative future use is available to the Company, then such patent costs can be capitalized and amortized over the expected life of the patent(s). Since the Company’s primary end product is sugar converting to ethanol, which are in wide use, the Company has determined that it is reasonable to capitalize the patent costs associated with its CTS process, which were $247,854 as of September 30, 2023 and $222,109 as of December 31, 2022.

 

Research and Development

 

The Company expenses all research and development costs as incurred. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, and September 30, 2022, the amounts charged to research and development expenses were $1,741,318 and $2,070,789, respectively.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company follows FASB ASC 606 “Revenue Recognition” and recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. The Company’s revenues will be derived principally from joint ventures, royalties and eventually corporate owned plants. However, no sales have occurred through those revenue streams to date. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met:

 

  1. persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;
  2. the product has been shipped or the services have been rendered to the customer;
  3. the sales price is fixed or determinable; and,
  4. collectability is reasonably assured.

 

 

Common Stock Purchase Warrants and Other Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company classifies as equity any contracts that require physical settlement or net-share settlement or provide it with a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in the Company’s own shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement) provided that such contracts are indexed to its own stock as defined in ASC 815-40 (“Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity”). The Company classifies as assets or liabilities any contracts that require net-cash settlement (including a requirement to net cash settle the contract if an event occurs and if that event is outside the Company’s control) or give the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement). The Company assesses the classification of its common stock purchase warrants and other free-standing derivatives at each reporting date to determine whether a change in classification between assets and liabilities is required.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable. If events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable, the Company compares the carrying amount of the asset group to future undiscounted net cash flows, excluding interest costs, expected to be generated by the asset group and their ultimate disposition. If the sum of the undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds the fair value of the asset group. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” Under this method, income tax expense is recognized for the amount of: (i) taxes payable or refundable for the current year and (ii) deferred tax consequences of temporary differences resulting from matters that have been recognized in an entity’s financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if based on the weight of the available positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

ASC Topic 740.10.30 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC Topic 740.10.40 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. The Company has no material uncertain tax positions for any of the reporting periods presented.

 

Profit (Loss) per Common Share:

 

Basic profit (loss) per share amounts have been calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each reporting period. Diluted loss per share has been calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares plus the potentially dilutive effect of securities such as outstanding options and warrants. The computation of potential common shares has been performed using the treasury stock method. The warrants and options are antidilutive for all periods presented. When net loss is reported, diluted and basic net loss per share amounts are the same as the impact of potential common shares is antidilutive.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, which defines fair value as used in numerous accounting pronouncements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure of fair value measurements.

 

The estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, payables to related parties, and accounts payable and accrued expenses are carried at historical cost basis, which approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

 

ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

 

Level 2 — quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable

 

Level 3 — inputs that are unobservable (for example cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions)

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other standard setting bodies that may have an impact on the Company’s accounting and reporting. The Company believes that such recently issued accounting pronouncements and other authoritative guidance for which the effective date is in the future either will not have an impact on its accounting or reporting or that such impact will not be material to its financial position, results of operations, and cash flows when implemented.

Litigation

 

The Company is subject, from time to time, to litigation, claims and suits arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company is not in any litigation at this time.

 

Cybersecurity

 

No material cybersecurity breach has occurred.

 

Leases

 

The Company currently leases office and laboratory space in Palm Beach Gardens, FL, that is classified as operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date for leases exceeding 12 months. The lease period was for twenty-four (24) months from November 1, 2019, to October 31, 2021. This had been extended for one year until October 31, 2022, and was further extended for two more years until October 31, 2024. Annual rent commenced at $84,100 per annum and increased 3% per year. The latest amendment adjusted the lease to $102,950 per annum and increases at 3% per year. Tenant is also required to cover operating costs that are estimated at $3,600 per month. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included in General & Administrative expenses.

 

ASC 842 was effective for us beginning January 1, 2019. The adoption had a material impact on our consolidated balance sheets, but did not have a material impact on our consolidated income statements. The most significant impact was the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities for operating leases.

 

In addition, the Company leases land in Arcadia, FL where it grows king grass. The original lease began on September 1, 2020, and was for 18.2 acres at an annual cost of $6,370 that the Company has the right to renew for a total of 5 years. A second lease began on March 31, 2023, for an additional 167.6 acres at a cost of $24,721 every 6 months that the Company also can continue for up to 5 years. Since those leases can be terminated at will, they are not included in the ROU or lease liability on the Company’s balance sheet.

 

Rent expense for the nine months ending September 30, 2023, and 2022, were $183,537 and $106,631, respectively.

 

The Company recognized the following related to leases in its Consolidated Balance Sheet:

Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the Company’s majority-owned subsidiaries over which the Company exercises control.

 

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, after elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions. Investments in business entities in which the Company lacks control but has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies are accounted for using the equity method. All material intercompany transactions and balances were eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the dates presented and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods presented. Significant estimates inherent in the preparation of the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include estimates of impairment assessment of identifiable intangible assets and valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. Estimates are based on past experience and other considerations reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

All highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase are considered to be cash equivalents.

 

Stock Compensation

Stock Compensation

 

The Company recognizes the cost of all share-based payments under the relevant authoritative accounting guidance. Share-based payments include any remuneration paid by the Company in shares of the Company’s common stock or financial instruments that grant the recipient the right to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock. For share-based payments to employees, which consist only of awards made under the stock option plan described below, the Company accounts for the payments in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 718, “Stock Compensation” (formerly referred to as SFAS No. 123(R)). Share-based payments to consultants, service providers and other non-employees are accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 718, ASC Topic 505, “Equity Payments to Non-Employees” or other applicable authoritative guidance.

 

Stock-based Compensation Valuation Methodology

Stock-based Compensation Valuation Methodology

 

Stock-based compensation resulting from the issuance of common stock is calculated by reference to the valuation of the stock on the date of issuance, the expense being recognized as the compensation is earned. Stock-based compensation expenses related to employee options and warrants granted to non-employees are recognized as the stock options and warrants are earned. The fair value of the stock options or warrants granted is estimated at the grant date, using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, and the expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the period over which services are to be received or the life of the option or warrant. The grant date fair value of employee share options and similar instruments is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model on the basis of the fair value of the underlying common stock on the measurement date, adjusted for the unique characteristics of those equity instruments, using the assumptions noted in the table below. The fair value of the common stock is determined by the then-prevailing closing market price. Expected volatility was based on the historical volatility of the Company’s closing day market price per share. The expected term of options and warrants was based upon the life of the option, and the risk-free rate used was based on the U.S. Treasury Daily Yield Curve Rate.

 

The stock compensation issued for services during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, were valued on the date of issuance. The following assumptions were used in calculations of the Black-Scholes option pricing models for warrant-based stock compensation issued in the nine months ended September 30, 2023:

 

   2/10/23   2/14/23   3/1/23   3/31/23   4/5/23   4/11/23 
Risk-free interest rate   3.93%   3.77%   4.01%   3.60%   3.30%   3.54%
Expected life   5 years    10 years    10 years    5 years    10 years    5 years 
Expected dividends   0%   0%   0%   0%   0%   0%
Expected volatility   123.25%   123.26%   123.52%   120.71%   119.51%   119.39%

BIOF common stock fair value  $0.165   $0.170   $0.160   $0.160 

 

Property and Equipment

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided for on a straight-line basis over the useful lives of the assets, generally 5 to 10 years. Expenditures for additions and improvements are capitalized; repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

 

Patent Capitalization

Patent Capitalization

 

If a product is currently under research and development and is not currently approved for market, costs incurred in connection with patent applications should generally be expensed in the income statement because there is uncertainty as to the future economic benefit of the asset. Conversely, if a product is approved for market (as is the case of the end product ethanol of the CTS process), or if future economic benefit is probable, or if an alternative future use is available to the Company, then such patent costs can be capitalized and amortized over the expected life of the patent(s). Since the Company’s primary end product is sugar converting to ethanol, which are in wide use, the Company has determined that it is reasonable to capitalize the patent costs associated with its CTS process, which were $247,854 as of September 30, 2023 and $222,109 as of December 31, 2022.

 

Research and Development

Research and Development

 

The Company expenses all research and development costs as incurred. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, and September 30, 2022, the amounts charged to research and development expenses were $1,741,318 and $2,070,789, respectively.

 

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company follows FASB ASC 606 “Revenue Recognition” and recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. The Company’s revenues will be derived principally from joint ventures, royalties and eventually corporate owned plants. However, no sales have occurred through those revenue streams to date. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met:

 

  1. persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;
  2. the product has been shipped or the services have been rendered to the customer;
  3. the sales price is fixed or determinable; and,
  4. collectability is reasonably assured.

 

 

Common Stock Purchase Warrants and Other Derivative Financial Instruments

Common Stock Purchase Warrants and Other Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company classifies as equity any contracts that require physical settlement or net-share settlement or provide it with a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in the Company’s own shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement) provided that such contracts are indexed to its own stock as defined in ASC 815-40 (“Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity”). The Company classifies as assets or liabilities any contracts that require net-cash settlement (including a requirement to net cash settle the contract if an event occurs and if that event is outside the Company’s control) or give the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement). The Company assesses the classification of its common stock purchase warrants and other free-standing derivatives at each reporting date to determine whether a change in classification between assets and liabilities is required.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable. If events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable, the Company compares the carrying amount of the asset group to future undiscounted net cash flows, excluding interest costs, expected to be generated by the asset group and their ultimate disposition. If the sum of the undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds the fair value of the asset group. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell.

 

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

 

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” Under this method, income tax expense is recognized for the amount of: (i) taxes payable or refundable for the current year and (ii) deferred tax consequences of temporary differences resulting from matters that have been recognized in an entity’s financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if based on the weight of the available positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

ASC Topic 740.10.30 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC Topic 740.10.40 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. The Company has no material uncertain tax positions for any of the reporting periods presented.

 

Profit (Loss) per Common Share:

Profit (Loss) per Common Share:

 

Basic profit (loss) per share amounts have been calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each reporting period. Diluted loss per share has been calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares plus the potentially dilutive effect of securities such as outstanding options and warrants. The computation of potential common shares has been performed using the treasury stock method. The warrants and options are antidilutive for all periods presented. When net loss is reported, diluted and basic net loss per share amounts are the same as the impact of potential common shares is antidilutive.

 

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, which defines fair value as used in numerous accounting pronouncements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure of fair value measurements.

 

The estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, payables to related parties, and accounts payable and accrued expenses are carried at historical cost basis, which approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

 

ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

 

Level 2 — quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable

 

Level 3 — inputs that are unobservable (for example cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions)

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other standard setting bodies that may have an impact on the Company’s accounting and reporting. The Company believes that such recently issued accounting pronouncements and other authoritative guidance for which the effective date is in the future either will not have an impact on its accounting or reporting or that such impact will not be material to its financial position, results of operations, and cash flows when implemented.

Renewable fuel description This Program provides monetary incentives to companies that produce renewable transportation fuel, and establishes Renewable Identification Numbers (RINs) or credits for each gallon of renewable transportation fuel produced in the United States, and breaks down those fuels into different D-codes depending on the source of the renewable fuel. D3 is the code for renewable ethanol that comes from cellulosic materials. The EPA’s final D3 RIN volume mandates for cellulosic biofuel include 840 million gallons for 2023, 1.09 billion gallons for 2024, and 1.38 billion gallons for 2025 (the D3 mandate). This mandate has increased every year and is statutorily mandated to increase in the future and become a larger portion of the full renewable fuels mandate, if and when cellulosic biofuels can be produced profitably in larger and larger quantities. The RFS mandate for 2023 calls for 20.94 billion gallons of total renewable fuel, 15 billion from conventional biofuels (corn ethanol) and 5.94 billion from advanced biofuels, including cellulosic biofuels. The “blend wall” (or upper limit to the amount of ethanol that can be blended into U.S. gasoline and automobile performance and comply with the Clean Air Act) of limiting ethanol content in gasoline to 10%, limits the total amount of ethanol consumed in the United States. Recent proposals have make 15% blending available year around in some states. The value of the D3 RIN fluctuates, but as of this filing, it is approximately $3.53 per gallon of ethanol. For comparison, the D6 RIN for corn ethanol is $0.79. To profit from these incentives, the Company plans to apply for these D3 RIN credits as it brings its first plant into commercial operation.

Dscription of Production the Company is reviewing whether to start executing on SAF production on a 10 million gallon per year level, and then add the first two steps on to it in a later phase when CTS is fully commercialized. The Company intends to build commercial CTS and ethanol facilities on the front-end to produce cellulosic SAF and generate the large D7 RIN and other government credits
