BioHiTech Global, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 and as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019

Note 1. Basis of Presentation and Going Concern

 

Nature of Operations - BioHiTech Global, Inc. (the “Company” or “BioHiTech”) through its wholly-owned and controlled subsidiaries, provides cost-effective and sustainable environmental management solutions.

 

Our cost-effective technology solutions include the patented processing of municipal solid waste into a valuable renewable fuel, biological disposal of food waste on-site, and proprietary real-time data analytics tools to reduce food waste generation. Our solutions enable businesses and municipalities of all sizes to lower disposal costs while having a positive impact on the environment. When used individually or in combination, our solutions lower the carbon footprint associated with waste transportation and can reduce or virtually eliminate landfill usage.

 

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) as a pandemic which continues to spread throughout the United States and globally and more recently in the United States there has been an increase in cases reported. During October and November 2020 a resurgence in cases and hospitalizations has occurred. The Company is monitoring the near term and longer term impacts of COVID-19 and the related business and travel restrictions and changes to behavior intended to reduce its spread, and its impact on operations, financial position, cash flows, inventory, supply chains, purchasing trends, customer payments, and the industry in general, in addition to the impact on its employees. Due to the development and fluidity of this situation, the magnitude and duration of the pandemic and its impact on the Company’s operations, liquidity and financial performance will depend on certain developments, including duration, spread and reemergence of the outbreak, its impact on our customers, supply chain partners and employees, and the range of governmental and community reactions to the pandemic, which are uncertain and cannot be fully predicted at this time.

 

As a result of COVID-19, the implementation of the Company’s contract with Carnival Corporation (“Carnival”) had been delayed, although during the third quarter of 2020 Carnival recommenced purchasing activity with the Company making initial deliveries at the end of September 2020. As of October 31,2020, the Company has unfulfilled equipment purchase orders from Carnival amounting to approximately $2,100,000 (in addition to approximately $600,000 of shipments during October 2020). It is anticipated that many of these orders will be fulfilled during the fourth quarter of 2020. Additionally, the operations of some customers in the restaurant and hospitality industries have been temporarily interrupted due to governmental actions. For certain existing restaurant and hospitality customers, the Company has provided a deferral of recurring rental payments for a short time and have modified the rental agreements to extend the term by the period deferred. These actions placed a strain on the Company’s cash flows during the initial wave of COVID-19, resulting in the Company executing on cost controls and cash preservation practices that included reducing executive cash compensation, laying off non-essential employees, limiting expenses and disbursements, as well as extending vendor payments. It is unclear how the second wave that started in October 2020 will impact the Company.

 

During the third quarter of 2020 the Company raised $8,437,480 through an underwritten common stock offering and has subsequently concluded the executive deferred compensation plan and has rehired some of its employees that had been laid off.

 

Basis of Presentation - The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned and controlled subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. It is management’s opinion, however, that the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, and the elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, which contains the audited financial statements and notes thereto, for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 included within the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on May 22, 2020. The financial information as of December 31, 2019 presented hereto is derived from the audited consolidated financial statements presented in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019. The interim results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 is not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020 or for any future interim periods.

 

As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company’s active wholly-owned subsidiaries were BioHiTech America, LLC, BioHiTech Europe Limited, BHT Financial, LLC and E.N.A. Renewables LLC, and its controlled subsidiary was Refuel America LLC (60%) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Apple Valley Waste Technologies Buyer, Inc., Apple Valley Waste Technologies, LLC, New Windsor Resource Recovery LLC and Rensselaer Resource Recovery LLC and its controlled subsidiary Entsorga West Virginia LLC (88.7%). As each of these subsidiaries operate as environmental-based service companies, we did not deem segment reporting necessary.

BioHiTech Global, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 and as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019

 

Going Concern and Liquidity - For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company had a consolidated net loss of $(11,719,697), incurred a consolidated loss from operations of $8,676,652 and used net cash in consolidated operating activities of $7,510,689. At September 30, 2020, consolidated total stockholders’ equity amounted to $7,067,372, consolidated stockholders’ equity attributable to parent amounted to $4,912,578, and the Company had a consolidated working capital deficit of $9,460,515. While the Company had not met certain of its senior secured note’s financial covenants as of September 30, 2020, the Company has favorably renegotiated those covenants and has received a waiver for such non-compliance through September 30, 2020. Despite its current compliance under the waiver, until such time as the Company regains compliance or receives a waiver of such covenants for a year beyond the balance sheet date, under current GAAP accounting rules the senior secured notes amounting to $4,408,514 have been classified as current debt. The Company does not yet have a history of financial profitability. In March and April of 2020 the Company raised $1,560,450 through a private convertible preferred stock offering and on May 13, 2020 one of the Company’s subsidiaries was funded $421,300 through the Paycheck Protection Program. On July 27, 2020 the Company used its Shelf Registration on Form S-3 to raise gross proceeds of $8,235,500 through an underwritten public offering of 4,550,000 common shares at $1.81 per share. On August 11, 2020 the underwriter provided notice that they would be exercising their over-allotment provision of the Underwriting Agreement to purchase an additional 682,500 shares of the Company’s common stock at $1.81 per share for a gross purchase price of $1,235,325. The net proceeds to the Company of the July 27, 2020 and August 11, 2020 offerings, after underwriter’s commission and other costs amounted to $8,437,480. There is no assurance that the Company will continue to raise sufficient capital or debt to sustain operations or to pursue other strategic initiatives or that such financing will be on terms that are favorable to the Company. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

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

 

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC on a consistent basis with and should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted as permitted by the SEC, although we believe the disclosures that are made are adequate to make the information presented herein not misleading.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

 

The Company has not implemented any recent accounting pronouncements during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

 

The Company has not implemented the following accounting standard:

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This standard requires an allowance to be recorded for all expected credit losses for certain financial assets. The new standard introduces an approach, based on expected losses, to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments. ASU 2016-13 is effective for public companies for interim and annual period beginning December 15, 2020. Entities are required to apply the standard’s provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted. The Company has not yet adopted this update and is currently evaluating the effect this new standard will have on its financial condition and results of operations.

 

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

 

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

 

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

(“ MCSFF ”) for a senior secured term promissory note in the principal amount of $5,000,000 (the “Note”). The Note is not convertible and accrues interest at the rate of 10.25% per annum. While the Company had not met certain of its senior secured note’s financial covenants as of September 30, 2020, the Company has received a waiver for such non-compliance through September 30, 2020. Despite its current compliance under the waiver, until such time as the Company regains compliance or receives a waiver of such covenants for a year beyond the balance sheet date, under current GAAP accounting rules the senior secured notes amounting to $4,408,514 have been classified as current debt. As of December 31, 2019 those certain financial covenants were not met and a waiver of such was granted by MCSFF through January 1, 2021 with the condition that the parties negotiate new financial covenants, which were concluded on June 29, 2020. As of December 31, 2019, the Note has been classified based on the contractual repayment schedule. For purposes of the following maturity schedule, as the Company believes that it will achieve compliance with the revised financial covenants and MCSFF has a history of waiving non-compliance with financial covenants, the maturities have been presented based upon the contractual repayment terms in effect as of September 30, 2020. The Note is contractually scheduled to be repaid in eight, equal, quarterly installments of $625,000 commencing on May 15, 2021 and ending February 2, 2023 (the “Maturity Date”).

During 2016, Entsorga West Virginia LLC (the “Borrower”) was issued $25,000,000 in Non-Recourse Solid Waste Revenue Bonds from the West Virginia Economic Development Authority (the “WVEDA Bonds”). The WVEDA Bonds were issued in two series with one for $7,535,000 bearing interest at 6.75% per annum with a maturity date of February 1, 2026 and the second for $17,465,000 bearing interest at 7.25% per annum with a maturity of February 1, 2036. Both series were issued at par. The 2026 series was payable with interest-only payments through February 1, 2019 then annual payments of principal and semi-annual payments of interest through maturity. The 2036 series is payable with interest-only payments through February 1, 2019 then annual payments of principal and semi-annual payments of interest through maturity. Repayment of principal is by way of sinking fund.

 

During 2018, the 2016 Indenture Trust and Loan Agreement were amended and restated effective November 1, 2018. These amendments provided for a third series of bonds amounting to $8,000,000 bearing interest at 8.75% per annum with a maturity date of February 1, 2036, with special event triggered pre-payment requirements. This series was issued at par. The 2036 series is payable with interest-only payments through February 1, 2020 then annual payments of principal and semi-annual payments of interest through maturity. Repayment is by way of sinking fund.

 

The outstanding balance of the WVEDA Bonds as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 is $33,000,000, which is presented net of unamortized debt issuance costs amounting to $2,207,759 as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, less associated amortization of $516,243 and $415,185 as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, which includes amortization prior to the Company’s control acquisition in 2018.

Under the program, certain executives reduced their cash compensation and would be provided restricted common stock units under the shareholder approved plans as the shares were available or may be issued restricted common stock shares or cash. The shares under the individual agreements were based on a cash amount of deferral each month divided by the lower of the average or last trading day common share price. Under the program that has been concluded, all of the participants elected to receive restricted stock units resulting in 136,145 restricted stock units being issued at a cost of $174,266 that has been reflected as restricted stock compensation expense above.

Credit risk — Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable.

 

The Company minimizes credit risk associated with cash by periodically evaluating the credit quality of its primary financial institutions. At times, the Company’s cash may be uninsured or in deposit accounts that exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) in the USA and the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) in the UK insurance limits. Through September 30, 2020, the Company had not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.

 

Major customers — During the three months ended September 30, 2020, two customers represented at least 10% of revenues, accounting for 18.9% (Gold Medal Group, LLC, an affiliated entity, “GMG” or “Gold Medal”) and 45.1% of revenues. During the three months ended September 30, 2019, one customer represented at least 10% of revenues, accounting for 58.9% (Gold Medal Group, LLC, an affiliated entity, “GMG”) of revenues. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, two customers represented at least 10% of revenues, 32.5% (GMG) and 11.4% of revenues. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, one customer represented at least 10% of revenues, 49.2% (GMG) of revenues.

 

As of September 30, 2020, three customers represented at least 10% of accounts receivable, accounting for 63.4% (GMG), 18.6% and 11.5% of accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2019 one customer represented at least 10% of accounts receivable, accounting for 58.9% (GMG) of accounts receivable.

 

Vendor concentration — During the three months ended September 30, 2020, one vendor represented at least 10% of costs of revenue, accounting for 14.2% (GMG). During the three months ended September 30, 2019, two vendors represented at least 10% of costs of revenue, accounting for 21.5% (GMG) and 18.9% (a 1.2% shareholder). During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, one vendor represented at least 10% of costs of revenue, accounting for 26.1% (GMG). During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, two vendors represented at least 10% of costs of revenue, accounting for 11.9% (GMG) and 16.3% (a 1.2% shareholder).

 

As of September 30, 2020, excluding construction payables and other professional fees, one vendor represented at least 10% of accounts payable accounting for 31.8% (GMG) of accounts payable. As of December 31, 2019, one vendor represented at least 10% of accounts payable accounting for 54.4% (GMG) of accounts payable.

 

Affiliate relationship — GMG owns a 40% interest in Refuel America, LLC, a consolidated subsidiary of the Company. GMG’s subsidiaries, which are not consolidated in the Company’s financial statements have several business relationships with the Company and its subsidiaries that result in revenues and expenses noted above. See Note 14. Related Party Transactions.

 

Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 the Company was involved in the following legal matters.

 

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

 

As a result of this claim and the related costs incurred by the Company to cure the deficiencies in the services that were contracted, the Company has reflected an impairment charge amounting to $917,420 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.

 

On February 7, 2018, Lemartec Corporation (“Lemartec”) filed a complaint against the Company in the United States District Court for the Northern District of West Virginia arising out of the construction of the Company’s resource recovery facility in Martinsburg, West Virginia alleging breach of contract and unjust enrichment. The Company has filed its answer and counterclaims for damages against Lemartec and cross claims against Lemartec’s performance bond surety, Philadelphia Indemnity Insurance Company. The trial was scheduled to begin in August 2020. Prior to the start of the trial, on March 12, 2020 the Company entered into a settlement agreement that detailed the full and final mutual release. The settlement agreement provides that the Company pay Lemartec $775,000 in installments of $475,000 within 60 days of the execution of the settlement agreement and $25,000 each month thereafter for 12 months. The Company’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2019 reflects this liability given the nature of the subsequent event.

   

It is management’s opinion that the resolution of these matters will not materially affect the Company’s future financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

 

From time to time, the Company may be involved in other legal matters arising in the ordinary course of business. While the Company believes that such matters are currently not material, there can be no assurance that matters arising in the ordinary course of business for which the Company is, or could be, involved in litigation, will not have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations

The HEBioT facility land lease has an initial term of 30 years, plus four 5-year extensions. For purposes of our determination of lease liabilities, extensions were not included. As the leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company used incremental borrowing rates in determining the present value of lease payments. For the HEBioT facility land lease a rate of 11% was utilized and a rate of 10.25% has been used on the other leases. The current portion of the lease liabilities of $207,515 is included in accrued expenses and liabilities. Total lease costs under operating leases amounted to $57,129 and $55,356 for the three months, and $167,841 and $166,067 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this report on Form 10-Q. In addition to historical information, this discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including but not limited to those set forth under “Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K, as filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, on May 22, 2020.

 

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

The information in this report contains forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact made in this report are forward looking. In particular, the statements herein regarding industry prospects and future results of operations or financial position are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “believes,” “estimates,” “intends”, “plans”, “could,” “possibly,” “probably,” anticipates,” “projects,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” or “should,” “designed to,” “designed for,” or other variations or similar words or language. No assurances can be given that the future results anticipated by the forward-looking statements will be achieved. Forward-looking statements reflect management’s current expectations and are inherently uncertain. Our actual results may differ significantly from management’s expectations.

 

Although these forward-looking statements reflect the good faith judgment of our management, such statements can only be based upon facts and factors currently known to us. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control. As a result, our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth below under the caption “Risk Factors.” For these statements, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You should not unduly rely on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which they were made. They give our expectations regarding the future but are not guarantees. We undertake no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, unless required by law.

 

Impact of COVID-19

 

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) as a pandemic which continues to spread throughout the United States and globally and more recently in the United States there has been an increase in cases reported. During October and November 2020 a resurgence in cases and hospitalizations has occurred. The Company is monitoring the near term and longer term impacts of COVID-19 and the related business and travel restrictions and changes to behavior intended to reduce its spread, and its impact on operations, financial position, cash flows, inventory, supply chains, purchasing trends, customer payments, and the industry in general, in addition to the impact on its employees. Due to the development and fluidity of this situation, the magnitude and duration of the pandemic and its impact on the Company’s operations, liquidity and financial performance will depend on certain developments, including duration, spread and reemergence of the outbreak, its impact on our customers, supply chain partners and employees, and the range of governmental and community reactions to the pandemic, which are uncertain and cannot be fully predicted at this time.

 

As a result of COVID-19, the implementation of the Company’s contract with Carnival Corporation (“Carnival”) had been delayed, although during the third quarter of 2020 Carnival recommenced purchasing activity with the Company making initial deliveries at the end of September 2020. As of October 31,2020, the Company has unfulfilled equipment purchase orders from Carnival amounting to approximately $2,100,000 (in addition to approximately $600,000 of shipments during October 2020). It is anticipated that many of these orders will be fulfilled during the fourth quarter of 2020. Additionally, the operations of some customers in the restaurant and hospitality industries have been temporarily interrupted due to governmental actions. For certain existing restaurant and hospitality customers, the Company has provided a deferral of recurring rental payments for a short time and have modified the rental agreements to extend the term by the period deferred. These actions placed a strain on the Company’s cash flows during the initial wave of COVID-19, resulting in the Company executing on cost controls and cash preservation practices that included reducing executive cash compensation, laying off non-essential employees, limiting expenses and disbursements, as well as extending vendor payments. It is unclear how the second wave that started in October 2020 will impact the Company.

 

During the third quarter of 2020 the Company raised $8,437,480 through an underwritten common stock offering and has subsequently concluded the executive deferred compensation plan and has rehired some of its employees that had been laid off.

 

Company Overview

 

The Company’s mission is to reduce the environmental impact of the waste management industry through the development and deployment of cost-effective technology solutions. The Company’s suite of technologies includes on-site biological processing equipment for food waste, patented processing facilities for the conversion of municipal solid waste into an E.P.A. recognized renewable fuel, and proprietary real-time data analytics tools to reduce food waste generation. These unique proprietary solutions may enable certain businesses and municipalities of all sizes to lower disposal costs while having a positive impact on the environment.  When used individually or in combination, the Company’s solutions can reduce the carbon footprint associated with waste transportation, repurpose non-recyclable plastics, and significantly reduce landfill usage.

Revolution Series™ Digesters

 

The Company currently markets an aerobic digestion technology solution for the disposal of food waste at the point of generation. Its line of Revolution Series Digesters has been described as self-contained, robotic digestive systems that are as easy to install as a standard dishwasher with no special electrical or plumbing requirements. Units range in size depending upon capacity, with the smallest unit approximately the size of a residential washing machine. The digesters utilize a biological process to convert food waste into a liquid that is safe to discharge down an ordinary drain. This process can result in a substantial reduction in costs for customers including restaurants, grocery stores, cruise lines and hotel/hospitality companies by eliminating the transportation and logistics costs associated with food waste disposal. The process also reduces the greenhouse gases associated with food-waste transportation and decomposition in landfills that have been linked to climate change. The Company offers its Revolution Series Digesters in several sizes targeting small to mid-sized food waste generators with both sale and rental options that are often more economical than traditional disposal methods. The Revolution Series Digesters are manufactured and assembled in the United States.

 

In an effort to expand the capabilities of its digesters, the Company developed a sophisticated IoT technology platform to provide its customers with transparency into their waste generation and operational practices. This patented process collects weight related data from the digesters to deliver real-time data that provides valuable information that when analyzed, can improve efficiency and validate corporate sustainability efforts. The Company provides its IoT platform through a SaaS (“Software as a Service”) model that is either bundled in its rental agreements or sold through a separate annual software license. Prior to the launch of its Revolution Series Digesters, the Company marketed earlier generations of its digesters under the Eco-Safe brand. These units were larger sized and typically marketed to mid- and large-sized food waste generators, including the Federal Government. The Company continues to add new capacity sizes to its line of Revolution Series Digesters to meet customer needs.

 

As a result of COVID-19, the implementation of the Company’s contract with Carnival Corporation (“Carnival”) had been delayed, although during the third quarter of 2020 Carnival recommenced purchasing activity with the Company making initial deliveries at the end of September 2020. As of October 31,2020, the Company has unfulfilled equipment purchase orders from Carnival amounting to approximately $2,100,000 (in addition to approximately $600,000 of shipments during October 2020). It is anticipated that many of these orders will be fulfilled during the fourth quarter of 2020. Additionally, the operations of some customers in the restaurant and hospitality industries have been temporarily interrupted due to governmental actions. For certain existing restaurant and hospitality customers, the Company has provided a deferral of recurring rental payments for a short time and have modified the rental agreements to extend the term by the period deferred.

 

HEBioT Resource Recovery Technology

 

The Company expanded its technology business in 2016 through the acquisition of certain development rights to a patented Mechanical Biological Treatment (“MBT”) technology developed by a European engineering firm that relies upon High Efficiency Biological Treatment (“HEBioT”) to process waste at the municipal or enterprise level. The technology results in a substantial reduction in landfill usage by converting a significant portion of intake, including organic waste and non-recyclable plastics, into a United States EPA recognized alternative fuel that can be used as a partial replacement for coal. The Company is currently exploring additional uses for its solid recovered fuel (“SRF”) such as fuel for cogeneration and as a feedstock for bio-plastics.

 

The Company also, through a series of transactions in 2017 and 2018, acquired a controlling interest in the Nation’s first municipal waste processing facility utilizing the HEBioT technology located in Martinsburg, West Virginia (the “Martinsburg Facility”). The Martinsburg Facility, which commenced operations in 2019, is capable of processing up to 110,000 tons of mixed municipal waste annually. At full capacity, the Martinsburg Facility can achieve an annual savings of over 2.3 million cubic feet of landfill space and eliminate many of the greenhouse gases associated with landfilling that waste. The Company plans to build additional HEBioT facilities in the coming years and is currently in the permitting process to build a second facility in New York State.

Combined Offering

 

The Company’s suite of products and services positions it as a leading provider of cost-effective, technology-based alternatives to traditional waste disposal in the United States. The use of the Company’s technology solutions independently or in combination, can help its customers meet sustainability goals by achieving a significant reduction in greenhouse gases associated with waste transportation and landfilling. In addition, the repurposing of municipal waste into a cleaner burning, EPA recognized, renewable fuel can further reduce potentially harmful emissions associated with traditional means of disposal. The overall reduction in carbon and other greenhouse gases that are linked to climate change that could be achieved through the utilization of the Company’s technology can serve as a model for the future of waste disposal in the United States.  

 

New Product Offering

 

In addition to the Company’s products focused on reducing the environmental impact of the waste management industry through the development and deployment of cost-effective technology solutions, as a result of symmetry with our customers and prospects and a new demand for post COVID-19 environmental technologies, on May 12, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement with Altapure, LLC (“Altapure”). Altapure is a technology developer and manufacturer of ultrasonic based disinfecting products, to distribute its patented line of environmentally-friendly, high-level disinfecting products, including its newest product, the AP-4™, an enhanced, automated and touchless high-level disinfection sub-micron aerosol system providing a safe process and rapid elimination of spores, viruses, and vegetative bacteria, such as but not limited to: COVID-19, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, VRE, MRSA, Bacillus atrophaeus, Geobacillus stearothermophilus, Polio virus, C. auris and Clostridium difficile (C. difficile); and commenced live product demonstrations in June 2020 and sold its first unit in October 2020.

Net loss   $ (4,940,513 )   $ (2,034,810 )

 

Revenue decreased $683,898 (47.9%) due to a reconfiguration process conducted at the HEBioT facility during the quarter by its new management team that temporarily reduced production causing its revenue to decrease by 59.3% prior to a $247,649 negative adjustment in previously estimated take or pay contract revenue, offset in-part by a 30.0% increase in overall digester sales, rentals and service, while recognizing lower (90.0%) management advisory fees as the Company reduces the level of support provided under the agreement in order to maintain adequate focus on the Company’s core services.

 

Operating expenses increased by $1,618,313 (53.2%) to $4,660,333 for the third quarter as compared to the quarter of 2019 due primarily to an impairment expense of $917,420 relating to costs associated with the construction of the HEBioT facility, a $159,130 (20.2%) increase in HEBioT production costs and a $474,748 (32.8%) increase in selling general and administrative expenses. Equipment sales costs within operating costs increased $153,226 due to the increased level of sales.

 

The loss from operations increased by $2,302,211 (142,5%) as a result of the $683,898 decrease in revenues and by increased operating expenses.

 

Net other expenses increased by $603,492 (143.8%) primarily due a non-recurring gain in 2019. Excluding the 2019 gain, net other operating expenses increased by $40,875 (4.2%).

 

Net loss increased by $2,905,703 (142.8%) ($1,988,283 (97.7%), excluding the impairment charge) due to the increase in operating loss and the increase in other expenses.

HEBioT – During the third quarter of 2020, a new management team was put in place at the HEBioT facility. This new team conducted a full analysis of the operation to determine ways to improve efficiencies, streamline operations and achieve planned capacity. During this process, certain mechanical and electrical processes and components were reconfigured to improve processing, capacity and to allow for potential additional revenue streams to be introduced As such, production was significantly reduced while this reconfiguration process took place during the quarter and through October 2020. With that reconfiguration process having been completed in the fourth quarter, the facility is returning to normal operations. As a result of the reduced production during the reconfiguration process, revenue decreased by $361,631 (59.3%) during the third quarter of 2020 to $248,274 (prior to a $247,649 negative adjustment in previously estimated take or pay contract revenue) as compared with $609,905 during the third quarter of 2019. As the nature of the operating costs associated with the plant include a significant level of fixed costs, during the third quarter of 2020, HEBioT processing cost totaled $945,810, an increase of $159,130 (20%) over the third quarter of 2019.

  

Rental, service and maintenance  – Rental, service and maintenance revenue decreased by $65,559 (13.4%) to $423,996 in the third quarter of 2020, as compared to $489,555 in the third quarter of 2019. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $13,435 (3.6%) in rental income during the third quarter of 2020 as compared to the third quarter of 2019 as a result of customers that were impacted by COVID-19 and a decrease of $12,380 (15.4%) in the third quarter of 2020 in parts, consumables and other digester related sales and services (also impacted by COVID-19) as compared to the third quarter of 2019 and a $39,744 (100.0%) decrease resulting from non-recurring consulting that occurred in 2019. Rental, service and maintenance expenses decreased by $36,986 (20.9%) primarily due to decreased third party servicer costs and in other service and related areas.

 

Equipment sales – Equipment sales increased by $231,311 (369.7%) to $293,876 in the third quarter of 2020, as compared to $62,565 in the third quarter of 2019. All of the equipment sales in the third quarter of 2020 were to Carnival Cruise Lines under their master purchase contract.

 

Management advisory and other fees – In order to maintain adequate focus on the Company’s core services as demand continues to grow for the Company’s products, it has reduced the level of support provided under a management advisory agreement with Gold Medal. As a result, management advisory and other fees decreased by $225,000 (90.0%) to $25,000 in the second quarter of 2020, as compared to $240,370 in the third quarter of 2020. Effective April 1, 2020, the annual fee was reduced to $100,000 per year. As the services are provided by the executive management of the Company, no incremental expenses are incurred or allocated as expenses of the services.

Staffing – Staffing expense increased by $46,839 (5.2%) to $947,197 in the third quarter of 2020 as compared to $900,358 in the third quarter of 2019 and decreased by $107,926 as compared to $1,055,123 in the second quarter of 2020. The increase from 2019 to 2020 was the result of a $149,286 increase in stock based compensation, offset in part by a $102,447 decrease in cash based payroll, fringe and taxes, while the decrease between the third and second quarter was the result of a $68,928 decrease in stock based compensation and a decrease of $38,998 in cash based payroll, fringe and taxes.

 

Professional fees – Professional fees increased by $113,835 (72.6%) to $270,713 in the third quarter of 2020, as compared to $156,878 in the third quarter of 2019. The increase from 2019 was primarily the result of an increase in legal expenses of $85,390 (223.6%) to $123,578 in the third quarter of 2020, as compared to $38,188 in the third quarter of 2019 relating to several strategic initiatives and increase in social media consulting of $25,500 in the third quarter of 2020, an increase of 100%.

  

Other expenses – Other expenses increased by $325,067 (90.0%) to $686,212 in the third quarter of 2020, as compared to $361,145 in the third quarter of 2019. The majority of the increase ($188,894) was the result of increased insurance costs at the HEBioT facility and the Company’s Directors and Officers insurance. In addition, during the third quarter of 2020, the Company initiated transitioning a new management team into the HEBioT facility that resulted in a $62,085 increase in consulting and management fees.

  

Impairment Expense

 

During the third quarter of 2020, the Company recognized an impairment expense of $917,420 relating to services that were initially contracted for in connection with the constructions, equipping and initial operation set up of the HEBioT facility. These services were not provided as contracted and the Company incurred costs in completing the required services. The impairment expense is the result of further claims made by the contractor that, if successful against the Company’s counterclaims, would not result in an increase in the HEBioT facility cost basis as the Company has already mitigated for those services that were not provided.

 

Depreciation and Amortization

 

Depreciation and amortization decreased by $49,225 (8.1%) to $562,143 in the third quarter of 2020, as compared to $611,368 in the third quarter of 2019. This decrease was primarily the result of finalizing the allocation of costs of the HEBioT facility between the plant and equipment, which resulted in a reduction in depreciation expense.

 

Other Expenses

 

Other expenses of $1,023,057 during the third quarter of 2020 was comprised of net interest expense, as compared to net interest expense of $933,022 for the third quarter of 2019, an increase of $90,035, of which $46,072 is the result of a decrease in interest income relating to trust funds associated with the HEBioT facility bonds. Interest expense has also increased as a result of increases in amortization of deferred financing costs and accretion of debt discounts that are calculated on an effective interest method, as well as increases resulting from compounding of interest on an increased balance of non-current accrued interest. Other expense in the third quarter of 2019 also included a $562,617 gain on the sale of an affiliate investment and a $49,160 expense relating to warrant valuations.

Revenue increased $163,461 (5.1%) due to a $304,122 increase in the combined digester equipment sales and rental, service and maintenance revenues and an increase in HEBioT revenues of $496,709 (56.0%) primarily driven by the first half of 2020 as HEBioT revenue decreased during a reconfiguration process conducted at the HEBioT facility during the third quarter the by its new management team that temporarily reduced production causing its revenue to decrease, as well as by a $247,649 negative adjustment in previously estimated take or pay contract revenue during the third quarter of 2020, offset by a decrease in management advisory fees of $637,370 (83.7%). The overall contribution of HEBioT and digesters decreased $1,610,812 (120.3%) primarily due to the decrease in HEBioT during the third quarter and HEBioT costs during the third quarter reconfiguration process, while the digester contribution was flat.

 

Operating expenses increased by $3,377,898 (38.9%) in total, including an impairment expense of $917,420, with revenue related costs increasing $1,774,273 (94.7%), selling general and administrative increasing $289,876 (5.3%) and depreciation and amortization increasing by $396,329 (29.3%).

 

The loss from operations increased by $3,214,437 (58.8%) as a result of the decrease in third quarter revenue without offsetting reductions in costs at the HEBioT facility during recommissioning, a decrease in management advisory fees and an increase in other operating expenses, including the $917,420 impairment expense.

 

Other expenses increased by $1,321,611 (76.8%) primarily due to an increase in interest related to the non-recourse municipal bond financing the HEBioT facility of $618,110 which was under construction in the first quarter of 2019 and a $562,617 gain on the sale of an affiliate investment during 2019.

 

Net loss increased by $4,536,048 (63.1%) due to the increase in operating loss and the increase in other expenses.

HEBioT – The HEBioT facility commenced initial operations in the second quarter of 2019. Through the six months ended June 30, 2020 total revenue amounted to $1,383,031 and related costs amounted to $1,832,704, resulting in a negative contribution of $449,673. During the third quarter of 2020, a new management team was put in place at the HEBioT facility. This new team conducted a full analysis of the operation to determine ways to improve efficiencies, streamline operations and achieve planned capacity. During this process, certain mechanical and electrical processes and components were reconfigured to improve processing, capacity and to allow for potential additional revenue streams to be introduced As such, production was significantly reduced while this reconfiguration process took place during the quarter and through October 2020. With that reconfiguration process having been completed in the fourth quarter, the facility is returning to normal operations. As a result of the reduced production during the reconfiguration process, revenue decreased by $361,631 (59.3%) (prior to a $247,649 negative adjustment in previously estimated take or pay contract revenue) during the third quarter of 2020 to $248,274 as compared with $609,905 during the third quarter of 2019. As the nature of the operating costs associated with the plant include a significant level of fixed costs, during the third quarter of 2020, HEBioT processing cost totaled $945,810, an increase of $159,130 (20%) over the third quarter of 2019.

  

Rental, service and maintenance  – Rental, service and maintenance revenue decreased by $175,071 (12.3%) to $1,251,122 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, as compared $1,426,193 during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Rental contract revenue decreased by $6,755 (0.6%) to $1,054,534 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, as compared $1,061,289 during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, representing 84.3% and 74.4% of the category for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The remainder of the category, service and maintenance related revenue decreased by $168,316 (46.1%) to $196,588 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, as compared $364,904 during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. These decreases are primarily driven by COVID-19 restrictions on many of our customers during 2020. Rental, service and maintenance expenses increased by $44,031 (8.7%) primarily due to increased personnel costs in anticipation of staffing up for the Carnival Cruise contract that were reversed in the second quarter of 2020 but reinitiated during the third quarter of 2020.

Equipment sales – During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 equipment sales revenue increased by $479,193 (347.7%) to $616,992 as compared to $137,799 during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. This increase was primarily driven by the re-initiation of sales under our contract with Carnival Corporation during the third quarter. Sales expense, like wise increased by $260,904 (461.8%) to $317,406 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to $56,502 during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The contribution margin of 48.6% is in-line with historical rates for new equipment sales.

 

Management advisory and other fees – In order to maintain adequate focus on the Company’s core services as demand continues to grow for the Company’s products, it has reduced the level of support provided under a management advisory agreement with Gold Medal. As a result, management advisory and other fees decreased by $637,370 (83.7%) to $124,380 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to $761,750 during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Effective April 1, 2020, the annual fee was reduced to $100,000 per year. As the services are provided by the executive management of the Company, no incremental expenses are incurred or allocated as expenses of the services.

The decrease from 2019 to 2020 was the result of a $328,090 (45.0%) increase in stock based compensation, offset by a $480,851 (19.2%) decrease in cash based payroll, fringe and taxes.

 

Professional fees – Professional fees increased by $120,065 (14.8%) to $929,771 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to $809,706 during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. This increase was primarily the result of an increase in investor relations, public relations, strategy and social media of $149,735 to $119,684 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to a negative $(30,051) during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 (2019 included a $45,000 favorable decrease resulting from the settlement of a litigation matter), an increase in investment banking of $76,148 (52.7%) to $220,565 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 driven by strategic initiatives, as compared to $144,418 during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, and an increase in legal expenses of $61,804 (25.3%) to $306,004 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 driven by strategic initiatives and other general matters, as compared to $244,200 during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. These increases were offset in-part by a $167,622 (37.2%) decrease in accounting fees due to reduced acquisition activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to $451,139 during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

 

Other expenses – Other expenses increased by $559,321 (60.4%) to 1,485,121 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to $925,800 during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The majority of the increase ($271,658) was the result of increased insurance costs at the HEBioT facility and the Company’s Directors and Officers insurance. In addition, transitioning a new management team into the HEBioT facility was the primary factor that resulted in a $135,493 increase in consulting and management fees.

 

Other costs – Other costs decreased by $236,749 (49.2%) to $244,410 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to $481,159 during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. This increase was primarily the result of an increase of $81,155 in provisions for bad debts during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 offset by a non-recurring loss on the write-off of a HEBioT facility site amounting to $346,654 during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Impairment Expense

 

During the third quarter of 2020, the Company recognized an impairment expense of $917,420 relating to services that were initially contracted for in connection with the constructions, equipping and initial operation set up of the HEBioT facility. These services were not provided as contracted and the Company incurred costs in completing the required services. The impairment expense is the result of further claims made by the contractor that, if successful against the Company’s counterclaims, would not result in an increase in the HEBioT facility cost basis as the Company has already mitigated for those services that were not provided.

 

Depreciation and Amortization

 

Depreciation and amortization increased by $396,329 (29.3%) to $1,747,109 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to $1,350,780 during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. This increase was primarily the result of the HEBioT facility becoming operational in the second quarter of 2019, as no depreciation and amortization was expensed while the facility was under construction. Total depreciation and amortization relating to the HEBioT facility increased by $392,067 to $1,373,004 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to $980,937 during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

 

Other Expenses

 

Other expenses of $3,043,045 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was comprised of net interest and expense, as compared to net interest expense of $2,234,891 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, an increase of $808,154, of which $618,110 is the result of an increase in interest expense relating to the HEBioT facility, which in 2019 had capitalized the first quarter of interest as the facility was under construction at that time. Interest expense has also increased as a result of increases in amortization of deferred financing costs and accretion of debt discounts that are calculated on an effective interest method, as wells as increases resulting from compounding of interest on an increased balance of non-current interest. Other expense in 2019 also included a $562,617 gain on the sale of an affiliate investment and a $49,160 expense relating to warrant valuations.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company had a consolidated net loss of $(11,719,697), incurred a consolidated loss from operations of $8,676,652 and used net cash in consolidated operating activities of $7,510,689. At September 30, 2020, consolidated total stockholders’ equity amounted to $7,067,372, consolidated stockholders’ equity attributable to parent amounted to $4,912,578, and the Company had a consolidated working capital deficit of $9,460,515. While the Company had not met certain of its senior secured note’s financial covenants as of September 30, 2020, the Company has favorably renegotiated those covenants and has received a waiver for such non-compliance through September 30, 2020. Despite its current compliance under the waiver, until such time as the Company regains compliance or receives a waiver of such covenants for a year beyond the balance sheet date, under current GAAP accounting rules the senior secured notes amounting to $4,408,514 have been classified as current debt. The Company does not yet have a history of financial profitability. In March and April of 2020 the Company raised $1,560,450 through a private convertible preferred stock offering and on May 13, 2020 one of the Company’s subsidiaries was funded $421,300 through the Paycheck Protection Program. On July 27, 2020 the Company used its Shelf Registration on Form S-3 to raise gross proceeds of $8,235,500 through an underwritten public offering of 4,550,000 common shares at $1.81 per share. On August 11, 2020 the underwriter provided notice that they would be exercising their over-allotment provision of the Underwriting Agreement to purchase an additional 682,500 shares of the Company’s common stock at $1.81 per share for a gross purchase price of $1,235,325. The net proceeds to the Company of the July 27, 2020 and August 11, 2020 offerings, after underwriter’s commission and other costs amounted to $8,437,480. There is no assurance that the Company will continue to raise sufficient capital or debt to sustain operations or to pursue other strategic initiatives or that such financing will be on terms that are favorable to the Company. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

  

Impact of COVID-19 on Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) as a pandemic which continues to spread throughout the United States and globally and more recently in the United States there has been an increase in cases reported. During October and November 2020 a resurgence in cases and hospitalizations has occurred. The Company is monitoring the near term and longer term impacts of COVID-19 and the related business and travel restrictions and changes to behavior intended to reduce its spread, and its impact on operations, financial position, cash flows, inventory, supply chains, purchasing trends, customer payments, and the industry in general, in addition to the impact on its employees. Due to the development and fluidity of this situation, the magnitude and duration of the pandemic and its impact on the Company’s operations, liquidity and financial performance will depend on certain developments, including duration, spread and reemergence of the outbreak, its impact on our customers, supply chain partners and employees, and the range of governmental and community reactions to the pandemic, which are uncertain and cannot be fully predicted at this time.

 

As a result of COVID-19, the implementation of the Company’s contract with Carnival Corporation (“Carnival”) had been delayed, although during the third quarter of 2020 Carnival recommenced purchasing activity with the Company making initial deliveries at the end of September 2020. As of October 31,2020, the Company has unfulfilled equipment purchase orders from Carnival amounting to approximately $2,100,000 (in addition to approximately $600,000 of shipments during October 2020). It is anticipated that many of these orders will be fulfilled during the fourth quarter of 2020. Additionally, the operations of some customers in the restaurant and hospitality industries have been temporarily interrupted due to governmental actions. For certain existing restaurant and hospitality customers, the Company has provided a deferral of recurring rental payments for a short time and have modified the rental agreements to extend the term by the period deferred. These actions placed a strain on the Company’s cash flows during the initial wave of COVID-19, resulting in the Company executing on cost controls and cash preservation practices that included reducing executive cash compensation, laying off non-essential employees, limiting expenses and disbursements, as well as extending vendor payments. It is unclear how the second wave that started in October 2020 will impact the Company.

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by 17 C.F.R. 229 (10)(f)(i) and are not required to provide information under this item.

  

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

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

 

Based upon their evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that a material weakness existed and that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

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

 

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

 

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

   

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

  

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

 

On February 7, 2018, Lemartec Corporation (“Lemartec”) filed a complaint against the Company in the United States District Court for the Northern District of West Virginia arising out of the construction of the Company’s resource recovery facility in Martinsburg, West Virginia alleging breach of contract and unjust enrichment. The Company has filed its answer and counterclaims for damages against Lemartec and cross claims against Lemartec’s performance bond surety, Philadelphia Indemnity Insurance Company. The trial was scheduled to begin in August 2020. Subsequent to year end and prior to the start of the trial, on March 12, 2020 the Company entered into a settlement agreement that detailed the full and final mutual release. The settlement agreement provides that the Company pay Lemartec $775,000 in installments of $475,000 within 60 days of the execution of the settlement agreement and $25,000 each month thereafter for 12 months.

 

It is management’s opinion that the resolution of these matters will not materially affect the Company’s future financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

  

From time to time, we are a party to, or otherwise involved in, legal proceedings arising in the normal and ordinary course of business. As of the date of this report, we are not aware of any other proceeding, threatened or pending, against us which, if determined adversely, would have a material effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows or financial position.
