BioHiTech Global, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 and as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018

  

Note 1. Basis of Presentation and Going Concern

 

Nature of Operations - BioHiTech Global, Inc. (the “Company” or “BioHiTech”) through its wholly-owned and its controlled subsidiaries offers cost-effective and technologically innovative advancements integrating technological, biological and mechanical engineering solutions for the control, reduction and / or reuse of organic and municipal waste.

 

As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, 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 (86.1%).

 

As of June 30, 2018, the Company’s active wholly-owned subsidiaries were BioHiTech America, LLC, BioHiTech Europe Limited, BHT Financial, LLC and E.N.A. Renewables LLC, and New Windsor Resource Recovery LLC.

 

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, 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, 2018, which contains the audited financial statements and notes thereto, for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 included within the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 1, 2019. The financial information as of December 31, 2018 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, 2018. The interim results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 is not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019 or for any future interim periods.

 

Reclassifications to certain prior period amounts have been made to conform to current period presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on previously reported net loss.

 

Going Concern and Liquidity - For the six months June 30, 2019, the Company had a consolidated net loss of $5,148,839, incurred a consolidated loss from operations of $3,846,971 and used net cash in consolidated operating activities of $2,019,055. At June 30, 2019, consolidated total stockholders’ equity amounted to $8,752,463, consolidated stockholders’ equity attributable to parent amounted to $1,880,500 and the Company had a consolidated working capital deficit of $5,190,868. The Company does not yet have a history of financial profitability. Historically the principal source of liquidity has been the issuance of debt and equity securities. Presently, the Company does not have firm commitments to fund its present operational and strategic plans. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

BioHiTech Global, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 and as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018

 

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.

 

The Company is presently in the process of raising additional capital and debt for general operations and for investment in several strategic initiatives, as well as commercial debt to support its leasing activities. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to raise sufficient capital or debt to sustain operations or to pursue other strategic initiatives or that such financing will be on terms that are favorable to the Company.

 

Subsequent to June 30, 2019, on July 3, 2019 the Company sold its minority investment in Gold Medal Group, LLC for cash amounting to $2,250,000.

 

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Use of Estimates — The preparation of consolidated financial statements, in conformity with GAAP requires the extensive use of management’s estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Estimates are used when accounting for items and matters including, but not limited to, valuation of deferred tax assets, share based compensation, allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable, obsolete, slow moving and excess inventory, asset valuations, including intangibles, and useful lives and other provisions and contingencies.

 

Foreign Operations — Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates existing at the respective balance sheet dates. Income and expense items are translated at the average rates during the respective periods. Translation adjustments resulting from fluctuations in exchange rates are recorded as a separate component of other comprehensive income (loss) while transaction gains and losses are recorded in net earnings (loss).

 

The Company pays Value Added Tax (“VAT”) or similar taxes (“input VAT”) within the normal course of its business in in the United Kingdom on merchandise and/or services it acquires. The Company also collects VAT or similar taxes on behalf of the government (“output VAT”) for merchandise and/or services it sells. If the output VAT exceeds the input VAT, then the difference is remitted to the government, usually on a monthly basis. If the input VAT exceeds the output VAT, this creates a VAT receivable. The Company either requests a refund of this VAT receivable or applies the balance to expected future VAT payables.

 

Product and Services Revenue Recognition — The Company records revenue based on a five-step model in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which require that we:

 

1. Identify the contract with a customer;

2. Identify the performance obligations in the contract;

3. Determine the transaction price of the contract;

4. Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract;

5. Recognize revenue when the performance obligations are met or delivered.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 and as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018

 

When revenue is earned based on product sales, such as sales of digester equipment and parts, solid recovered fuel and recycled materials, the Company’s performance obligations are satisfied at the point in time when products are shipped to the customer, which is when the customer has title and control. Therefore, the Company’s contracts have a single performance obligation (shipment of product). The Company primarily receives fixed consideration for sales of products.

  

When revenue is earned based on receipt of disposal waste, the Company’s performance obligations are satisfied at the point in time when disposal waste products are received from the customer, which is when the Company has title and control. Therefore, the Company’s contracts have a single performance obligation (receipt of disposal waste).

 

When revenue is earned on services, such as management advisory fees and digester maintenance and repair services fees are recognized over the period the services are performed based on service milestones.

 

The Company records taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities on a net basis. 

 

Lease Revenue Recognition Rental, service and maintenance revenues relating to the Company’s rental agreements involve providing use of the Company’s digesters at customer locations, access to our software as a service and preventative maintenance over the term. The agreements generally provide for flat monthly payments that the Company believes are consistent with our costs and obligations underlying the agreements.

 

The Company selected the practical expedient not to separate non-lease components from lease components. The Company recognizes revenue from the rental of the digester units ratably on a monthly basis over the term of the lease, as it has determined that the rental agreements entered into in connection with its digester units qualify as operating leases, for which the Company is the operating lessor. In order to determine lease classification as operating, the Company evaluates the terms of the rental agreement to determine if the lease includes any of the following provisions which would indicate sales type lease treatment: 

 

·The lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the lessee by the end of the lease term,
·The lease grants the lessee an option to purchase the underlying asset that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise,
·The Lease term is for the major part of the remaining economic life of the underlying asset. However, if the commencement date falls at or near the end of the economic life of the underlying asset, this criterion shall not be used for purposes of classifying the lease,
·The present value of the sum of the lease payments and any residual value guaranteed by the lessee that is not already reflected in the lease payments equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the underlying asset or
·The underlying asset is of such a specialized nature that it is expected to have no alternative use to the lessor at the end of the lease term.

  

Restricted Cash — Includes Restricted cash that is restricted as to its use, as it is held by a trustee in accordance with the West Virginia Economic Development Authority bond agreement. These amounts are held by the Company’s trustee in various bank accounts segregated for specific uses related to the construction and operation of the resource recovery facility. Amounts required to meet current operations of the Company have been classified as current in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

 

HEBioT Facility — High Efficiency Biological Treatment (“HEBioT”) facility was under construction through March 31, 2019 and includes all costs incurred to bring an asset to the condition and location necessary for its intended use, with some continuing finalizations and adjustments. Included in the capitalized costs are construction, legal, leasehold improvements, and interest. Since April 1, 2019, these costs have been depreciated over their estimated blended useful life of 20 years on a straight-line basis.

For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 and as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018

 

MBT Facility Development Costs — The Company defers costs relating to on-going Mechanical Biological Treatment (“MBT”) facility development costs commencing upon the Company’s determination that the project will be completed. These site specific costs generally include external costs generally relating to legal, engineering and other costs relating to the acquisitions of land, permits and licenses. Upon commencement of construction, to the extent that costs relate to the facility, they are transferred to the construction in progress.

 

Investments in Unconsolidated Entities —The Company has utilized the equity method of accounting for investments in companies if the investment provides the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over operating and financial policies of the investee. The Company’s proportionate share of net income or loss is included in the Company’s consolidated operations as earning or loss from unconsolidated equity basis investments. In circumstances where the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence or control over the operating and financial policies of the investee, the investment is carried at cost, less impairment, adjusted for subsequent changes to estimated fair value up to the original cost.

 

Deferred Financing Costs — Deferred financing costs relating to issued debt are included as a reduction to the applicable debt and amortized as interest expense over the term of the related debt instruments.

 

Income Taxes — Deferred income taxes are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities given provisions of enacted laws. Deferred income tax provisions and benefits are based on changes to the asset or liabilities from year to year. In providing for deferred taxes, the Company considers tax regulations of the jurisdictions in which it operates, estimates the future taxable income and available tax planning strategies. If tax regulations, operating results or the ability to implement tax planning and strategies vary, adjustments to the carrying value of deferred tax assets and liabilities may be required. Valuation allowances are recorded related to deferred tax assets based on the “more than likely” criteria.

 

The Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more likely than not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority.

 

Loss per Share — The Company computes basic loss per share using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding and diluted loss per share, while the diluted loss per share also includes the effects of dilutive instruments using the “treasury method.” Dividends attributable to preferred stock, whether declared or accrued, are deducted from income attributable to common shareholders for purposes of earnings per share.

 

The Company’s potential dilutive instruments include convertible preferred stock, options, convertible debt and warrants. These instruments have not been considered in the calculation of diluted loss per share as they are anti-dilutive for the reported periods.

 

Note 3. Acquisition and Contribution Agreement

 

On November 28, 2018, Company entered into a definitive agreement (the “MIPS”) with Entsorga USA, Inc. (“EUSA”) whereby EUSA agreed to sell, transfer and convey to BioHiTech 2,687 membership units of Entsorga West Virginia, LLC (“EWV”) (the “Membership units”) in consideration of 714,519 shares of BioHiTech’s newly created Series E convertible preferred stock (the “Sr. E CPS). At the time, EWV was a facility under construction that is intended to utilize HEBioT technology to divert municipal solid waste from landfills and to create an EPA recognized alternative commodity fuel, which has since commenced operations.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 and as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018

 

On December 14, 2018, the EUSA transaction was consummated. The 714,519 shares of Sr. E CPS were valued at $1,886,630 based on the underlying common shares which the Sr. E CPS is convertible into. The total acquisition price of $2,863,583 is comprised of the aforementioned transaction, plus $976,953 of previously held equity in EWV.

 

Upon consummation of the MIPS agreement BioHiTech owned a total of 4,410.4 membership units of EWV, comprised of the 2,687 units resulting from the MIPS agreement and 1,723.4 units previously acquired by BioHiTech during 2017. The 4,410.4 membership units represented 44.1% of the total membership units issued by EWV, which combined with BioHiTech’s control of EWV’s board, management and having the largest ownership block of EUSA, with the next largest block, which represents 34.1%, an entity over which BioHiTech has controlling financial interest, results in the investment being recognized in the Company’s financial statements on a consolidated basis. 

 

Following the consummation of the MIPS, on December 14, 2018, BioHiTech entered into a Contribution and Transaction Agreement (“CTA”) with Gold Medal Group, LLC (“GMG”) and a newly formed subsidiary Refuel America, LLC (“Refuel”) of the Company whereby GMG contributed $3,500,000 in cash and its 34.1% ownership interest in EVW (owned by GMG’s wholly owned subsidiary Apple Valley Waste Technologies, LLC) into Refuel and BioHiTech contributed it’s 44.1% interest in EWV, a technology license for a future HEBioT facility that BioHiTech carried at a value of $6,019,200 and $316,207 in capitalized costs relating to two separate HEBioT facility on-going projects. In exchange for the assets contributed, BioHiTech and GMG acquired 60% and 40%, respectively, of the membership units of Refuel, which approximate the carrying value of each of the BioHiTech and GMG assets contributed. As a result of there being a continuation in proportional ownership of the significant assets and the affiliate nature BioHiTech and GMG through a non-controlling interest of GMG being owned by BioHiTech and there being a management agreement between GMG’s largest subsidiary, Gold Medal Holdings, LLC (“GMH”) whereby BioHiTech provides executive management of GMH with control over the strategic and operational activities of GMH, the CTA transaction has been accounted for without separate acquisition accounting applied to the CTA elements.

 

The following presents unaudited pro forma information as if the acquisition had occurred as of January 1, 2018. The pro forma results do not include any anticipated cost synergies or other effects of the integration of the acquired company. Pro forma amounts are not necessarily indicative of the results that actually would have occurred had the acquisition been completed on the dates indicated, nor is it indicative of future operating results of the combined company.

Entsorga West Virginia LLC - Effective March 21, 2017, the Company acquired a 17.2% interest in Entsorga West Virginia LLC EWV from the original investors at their original purchase price of $60,000 for each 1% of interest in EWV ($1,034,028). From March 21, 2017 through December 14, 2018 the Company recognized the investment utilizing the equity method of accounting due to its investment and its ability to influence operations and activities of EWV. On December 14, 2018, the Company consummated an additional acquisition of 2,687 membership units that resulted in the Company gaining control of EWV. From December 14, 2018, EWV is consolidated in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 and as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018

 

Gold Medal Group, LLC – On January 25, 2018, the Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) to acquire 9.2% of the outstanding membership units (the “Units”) of GMG, which is the owner of a traditional waste management entity. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired the Units from two unrelated parties in consideration $2,250,000 paid through the issuance of 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

Additionally, on January 25, 2018, the Company entered into an Advisory Services Agreement (the “ASA”). Under the ASA, the Company provides services relating to corporate development, strategic planning, operational and sales oversight and other general administrative and support services in exchange for fees annually amounting to the greater of $750,000, which was subsequently changed to $1,000,000, or 10% of GMG’s ordinary earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. As a result of the investment and its ability to influence operations and activities of GMG, the Company initially recognized its investment utilizing the equity method of accounting on a three-month lag in reporting periods.

 

During 2018, the Company’s investment in GMG was diluted from 9.2% to 2.9% due to additional GMG acquisitions and investments, including the CTA with the Company. As a result of the reduction in the ownership level and accordingly, a reduction in influence, effective December 14, 2018 the Company changed its prospective accounting for GMG from the equity method to the measurement alternative to measure this equity investment as such equity investment without readily determinable fair values. At the time of the change, the net carrying amount of the investment was $1,687,383.

 

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company had recognized losses through equity method accounting of $140,886 and $186,299, respectively.

 

Subsequent to June 30, 2019, on July 3, 2019 the Company sold its investment in Gold Medal Group, LLC for cash amounting to $2,250,000. (See Note 23)

The Sr. D CPS is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at the price of $3.50 per share based on the Sr. D CPS’s stated value being converted. Each share of the Sr. D CPS has a stated value of $100 and has dividends at the rate of 9% payable annually in arrears in cash or at the Company’s option, in common stock based upon the then in effect conversion price. The Sr. D CPS also has an alternative dividend provision based upon the cash flow distributed to the parent from the Company’s next HEBioT facility, excluding the plant in Martinsburg, West Virginia, (the “Next Facility”) based upon the Sr. D CPS proportional investment in the facility. The Sr. D CPS also has an alternative conversion based upon a multiple the annualized EBITDA of the Next Facility converted at the higher of the conversion rate in effect or the market price of the Company’s common stock if higher.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company received subscriptions and investments totaling $1,885,000, which were issued 18,850 shares of Sr D CPS.  In addition to the Sr. D CPS, each holder received warrants to acquire 50% of the shares that the Sr. D CPS is convertible into with an exercise price of $3.50 per share and an expiration on the fifth year anniversary.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 and as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018

 

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. Trial is expected to begin in August 2020 and the Company intends to vigorously defend the complaint.

 

It is management’s opinion that the resolution of these known claims will not materially effect the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. There can be no assurance, however, that unforeseen circumstances will not result in significant costs. While the Company believes that these such matters are currently not a risk material to the Company’s financial position, there can be no assurance that these or other matters arising in the ordinary course of business for which the Company is, or could be, involved in litigation, will not have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations.

 

Note 19. Leases

 

Effective January 1, 2019, the Company implemented Accounting Standards Codification 842, Leases. The guidance requires lessees to recognize most leases on the balance sheet but does not change the manner in which expenses are recorded in the income statement. The two permitted transition methods under the guidance are the modified retrospective transition approach, which requires application of the guidance for all comparative periods presented, and the cumulative effect adjustment approach, which requires prospective application at the adoption date.

 

The Company utilized the optional transition method to assess the impact of this guidance on the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures, including the increase in the assets and liabilities on our balance sheet from lessee perspective. The Company completed a comprehensive review of its leases that were impacted by the new guidance.

 

As part of the adoption, the Company elected the ‘package of practical expedients,’ which permits the Company not to reassess under the new standard the Company’s prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs, therefore the Company did not restate prior comparative periods.

 

The Company rents its headquarters and attached warehousing space from a related party (see Note 20) and has a land lease relating to the Martinsburg, WV HEBioT facility under operating leases. The HEBioT facility land lease has an initial term of 30 years, plus four 5-year extensions. For purposes of our determination of lease liabilities, extensions were not included. As the leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company used incremental borrowing rates in determining the present value of lease payments. For the HEBioT facility land lease a rate of 11% was utilized and a rate of 10.25% was used on the other leases. The current portion of the lease liabilities of $192,681 is included in accrued expenses and liabilities. Total lease costs under operating leases amounted to $61,881 and $37,208 for the three months, and $129,413 and $70,309 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Maturities of lease liabilities under these leases, which have a weighted average remaining term of 24.8 years, as of June 30, 2019 is:

 

Year Ending December 31,    
2019 (remaining)  $102,812 
2020   146,926 
2021   109,000 
2022   113,000 
2023 and thereafter   

3,093,750

 
Total lease payments   

3,565,488

 
Less imputed interest   (2,359,999)
Present value of lease liabilities  $1,205,489

Note 20. Related Party Transactions

 

Related parties include Directors, Senior Management Officers, and shareholders, plus their immediate family, who own a 5% or greater ownership interest at the time of a transaction. Related parties also include GMG and its subsidiaries.

 

As of June 30, 2019, GMG is controlled by several private equity funds managed by Kinderhook Industries. As discussed in Note 4, the Company initially invested in GMG on January 25, 2018. As discussed in Note 23, on July 3, 2019 the Company sold its ownership interests in GMG to an entity controlled by Kinderhook Industries. As discussed in Note 3, on December 14, 2018 the Company formed a new consolidated subsidiary, Refuel America, LLC (“Refuel”) into which the Company contributed specified assets, including its ownership interest in Entsorga West Virginia, LLC (“EWV”) and other HEBioT development assets. In exchange for a 40%, but non-controlling interest in Refuel, GMG contributed its ownership interests in EWV and $3,500,000 in cash.

 

During 2018 GMG acquired as regional waste management entity, Apple Valley Waste (“AVW”), with operations located in West Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania. As part of this acquisition, GMG also acquired its interests in EWV that were contributed to Refuel. Prior to GMG’s acquisition of AVW and the Company’s investments and control acquisition of EWV, in order for EWV to receive the proceeds from the Entsorga West Virginia, LLC WVEDA Solid Waste Disposal Revenue Bonds (Note 15), EWV and AWV had entered into several agreements.

 

Business Services Agreement – On February 2, 2016, EWV and AVW entered into an agreement that whereby AVW provides solicitation, logistics management, human resources, accounting and financial management, and other general administrative and support services. This agreement has a ten-year term with automatic renewals for five-year periods, subject to prior notice of non-renewal. The agreement provides for a fee of $72,000 annually during construction and $367,600 annually upon commencement of operations. External costs incurred on behalf of EWV that are paid by AVW are rebilled at cost to EWV.

 

Solid Waste Delivery / Disposal Agreements – On November 30, 2015 EWV and several AVW subsidiaries (the “Subsidiaries”) entered into agreements that provide that the Subsidiaries will deliver a minimum tonnage of municipal solid waste (52,000 tons) and that EWV will accept up to 66,250 tons of municipal solid waste. The contracts with minimum delivery tonnage have disposal fees (tipping fees) with a weighted average price of $56.37 per ton, subject to change annually. The contracts also provide that if the Subsidiaries fail to deliver the minimum tonnage, they will pay a fee of $20 for each shortfall ton. The contracts also provide that if EWV refuses to accept tonnage presented for disposal within the minimum tonnage that EWV will pay the Subsidiaries a fee of $20 per each refused ton. Each of the agreements has a ten-year term with automatic renewals for five-year periods, subject to prior notice of non-renewal.

Note 22. Recent Accounting Standards

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company adopted the following recent accounting standards:

 

Leases — In February 2016, the FASB issued new lease accounting guidance (ASU No. 2016-02, Leases), which has subsequently been amended by ASU No. 2018-11, Leases in July 2018. Under the new guidance, at the commencement date, lessees will be required to recognize a lease liability, which is a lessee‘s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and a right-of use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. The new guidance is not applicable for leases with a term of 12 months or less. Lessor accounting is largely unchanged. Public business entities should apply the amendments in ASU 2016-02 for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted upon issuance. Lessees (for capital and operating leases) and lessors (for sales-type, direct financing, and operating leases) must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The modified retrospective approach would not require any transition accounting for leases that expired before the earliest comparative period presented. Lessees and lessors may not apply a full retrospective transition approach. ASU 2018-11 provides that under certain instances lessors may not be required to separate the components of the contracts. As a lessor of digester equipment under operating leases, the new guidance did not have a material impact on the financial statements. As a lessee under operating leases the adoption did not have a material impact on our financial statements, resulting in an increase of 2% to each of our total assets and total liabilities on our balance sheet, and had an immaterial impact to retained earnings as of the beginning of 2019. See Note 19.

 

In March 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-01, Leases (Topic 842, Codification Improvements), which removed the requirement for an entity to disclose in the interim periods after adoption, the effect of the change on income from continuing operations, net income, any other affected financial statement line item, or per share amount. For lessors, the new leasing standard requires leases to be classified as sales-type, direct financing or operating leases. These criteria focus on the transfer of control of the underlying asset. This standard and related updates were effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2019-01 on January 2019. See Note 19 for disclosures related to this amended guidance.

Note 23. Subsequent Events

 

The Company evaluates subsequent events and transactions that occur after the balance sheet date up to the date that the financial statements are available to be issued. Any material events that occur between the balance sheet date and the date that the financial statements were available for issuance are disclosed as subsequent events, while the financial statements are adjusted to reflect any conditions that existed at the balance sheet date. Based upon this review, except as disclosed within the footnotes or as discussed below, the Company did not identify any recognized or non-recognized subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

 

On July 3, 2019 the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement with Gold Medal Equity, LLC (“GME”), the parent entity to GMG to sell the Company’s 2,250,000 GMG Investment Preferred Units and 2,250,000 Class A Common Units of GMG to GME for total compensation of $2,250,000. As of June 30, 2019, these investments were carried by the Company with an adjusted cost of $1,687,383 resulting in a gain of $562,617 on July 3, 2019.

Overview

 

The Company was incorporated on March 20, 2013 under the laws of the state of Delaware as Swift Start Corp. On August 6, 2015, Swift Start Corp. entered into and consummated an Agreement of Merger and Plan of Reorganization with BioHiTech Global, Inc. and Bio Hi Tech America, LLC, after which it adopted the business plan of Bio Hi Tech, America, LLC, and changed its name to BioHiTech Global, Inc.

 

The Company’s primary objective has been to disrupt the traditional waste management industry in North America through the development, deployment and utilization of its own proprietary technologies and processes, as well as proven technologies it has acquired from other worldwide areas, to provide the market commercially viable, fully integrated, sustainable waste management disposal options to replace less environmentally sound historical options. The Company offers two proprietary products and services that can be utilized separately or in tandem. The Company provides on-site, data driven cost-effective products for food waste reduction and elimination, as well as automated facilities capable of converting municipal solid waste delivered by municipalities and large organizations by utilizing a mechanical and biological process that reduces moisture content, recovers certain recyclables and ultimately produces an E.P.A. recognized alternative fuel commodity to be used as a supplement to traditional fossil fuels. Each of the Company’s products result in significantly less waste ultimately transported to landfills.

 

Immediately after the merger, the Company’s initial focus was primarily on its on-going food waste disposal Digester business and related technologies.

 

During 2016 and 2017, the Company expanded from its digester single product line by starting strategic initiatives in Mechanical Biological Treatment (“MBT”) facilities that rely upon High Efficiency Biological Treatment (“HEBioT”) to process waste at the municipal or enterprise level converting a significant portion of intake into an United States EPA recognized alternative commodity fuel.

 

 31 

 

 

During 2018, the Company completed a step transaction that allowed the Company to control the first HEBioT facility under construction in the United States. This facility commenced commissioning during the first quarter of 2019 and commenced commercial operation in the second quarter of 2019. Upon commencement of operations, the HEBioT and digester businesses each represent an operating segment, which are aggregated into one reportable segment.

 

The combination of on-site digester and HEBioT technology solutions result in a unique offering that provides a turn-key solution for customers seeking to achieve zero waste. The Company envisions use of its digesters for disposal of food waste at certain retail customer’s locations, with regional disposal services being directed to the Company’s HEBioT facilities. The digester’s technology can reduce 100% of a customer’s food waste at the source of generation with the HEBioT process converting a majority of a customer’s remaining waste stream into an alternative fuel product. The integrated process represents a cost effective solution that can result in less than 20% of each customer’s waste being directed to landfills, hence resulting in a near-zero footprint. Operation of the Company’s first HEBioT facility commenced on April 1, 2019 in Martinsburg, WV.

  

Results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2019

compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018

 

The following summarizes our operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018:

 

   Three Months Ended June 30, 
   2019   2018 
Revenues  $1,051,212    100%  $909,137    100%

Net loss attributable to Parent  $(2,068,641)   (197)%  $(5,495,973)   (604)%

 

During the second quarter, the Martinsburg HEBioT facility continued through commissioning and initiated acceptance of municipal solid waste (“MSW”) for further refinement of the facilities processes. During this period tipping fees amounting to $277,041were charged for the MSW. As the facility was not yet ready to deliver solid recovered fuel (“SRF”) during the commissioning process while testing was underway, the plant incurred expenses related to operating the plant, as well as additional disposal fees associated with the SRF. HEBioT process expenses amounted to $493,546 for the quarter, resulting in a negative contribution, before selling, general and administrative and depreciation and amortization of $216,505. The facility achieved the desired fuel specifications and commenced selling and delivering SRF in July, which will result in a reduction of future disposal expenses. During the quarter, the facility also incurred $285,675 in selling general and administrative expenses, as well as $490,469 in depreciation and amortization resulting in a loss from operations of $992,649. Comparing the operations that existed during 2018 to the same operations in 2019, the loss from operations decreased by $298,049 (24.2%) from $1,231,068 to $933,019.

 

The following summarizes revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018:

 

   Three Months Ended June 30,

Revenue

 

HEBioT revenue represents MSW tip fees earned during the commissioning this quarter. The facility is designed to convert the MSW into SRF, which is classified by the US Environmental Protection Agency as an alternative commodity fuel. The Company’s first sale of SRF occurred in late July 2019.

 

Rental, service and maintenance revenue decreased from the three months ended June 30, 2018 to the three months ended June 30, 2019 by $9,906, or 2.1% primarily due to a reduction in environmental consulting. Digester rental revenue increased from the three months ended June 30, 2018 to the three months ended June 30, 2019 by $84,677, or 31.9% primarily due to the larger overall number of units deployed. As of June 30, 2019, the Company has 199 units under lease, as compared to 151 as of June 30, 2018. This increase of 48 units is primarily related to the Revolution Series of digesters that have lower customer costs. Offsetting the increase in rental revenue were decreases in non-rental maintenance and parts services due to greater reliability of the Company’s newest generation of products. The Company continues to replace older generation, higher revenue generating products with lower cost, more reliable Revolution digester products.

 

The Company focuses its digester sales efforts on rental of its units. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 there were no sales of digester units, although during the three months ended June 30, 2019 the Company had several sales to customers that prefer to buy over rent.

 

The management fees relate to services provided to Gold Medal Group, LLC and subsidiaries (“GMG”), a related party, for executive management and other special projects.

 33 

 

 

Rental, service and maintenance expenses

 

Rental, service and maintenance expenses mainly consists of the cost of warehousing, installation, maintenance, parts and shipping costs, as well as related salary and employee costs related to rental units. Rental, service and maintenance expense decreased from the three months ended June 30, 2018 to the three months ended June 30, 2019 by $100,204, or 43.9%, primarily due to improved economies of scale resulting from the increase in the number of units under rental, lower recurring maintenance costs associated with the Revolution Series of digesters as well as lower levels of non-rental service and parts revenues (and resulting expenses). The contribution before depreciation from rental, service and maintenance activities increased by $90,298, or 39.2% from $230,328 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 to $320,626 for the three months ended June 30, 2019, resulting in a contribution margin on related sales of 71.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to 50.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2018. 

 

Equipment sales expense

 

While the Company’s focus is on utilizing the rental method of deployment there was $75,234 in sales of digesters during the three months ended June 30, 2019. Equipment sales profit decreased as a result of reduced sales which generated a gross profit of $36,508 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and a margin of 48.5%, as compared to $90,792 and 45.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The Company does anticipate that equipment sales will occur in the future based upon customer requirements.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased from the three months ended June 30, 2018 to the three months ended June 30, 2019 by $18,846, or 1.1%. Included in these expenses are $285,676 in new expenses related to the HEBioT facility. Excluding the new HEBioT related expenses, selling general and administrative expenses decreased by $266,830 or 15.8% from the three months ended June 30, 2018 to the three months ended June 30, 2019.

 

Personnel related expenses decreased from the three months ended June 30, 2018 to the three months ended June 30, 2019 by $32,576, or 3.1% in total. Stock based compensation (a non-cash expense) increased by $158,222 as a result of grants made in the second half of 2018. Base salaries and payroll decreased by $190,798, or 19.4% due to staff reductions in late 2018, offset by increases of $16,993 in additional base salaries and payroll related to the HEBioT facility.

  

Professional fees increased from the three months ended June 30, 2018 to the three months ended June 30, 2019 by $103,719, or 61.3% in total. Combined legal and accounting increased by $122,864, 86.8% primarily driven by $103,257 of fees relating to litigation and expanded accounting services related to the HEBioT facility. Marketing fees were negative due to a favorable litigation outcome of $44,500 unrelated to the HEBioT facility.

 

Marketing and office operations on a combined basis increased from the three months ended June 30, 2018 to the three months ended June 30, 2019 by $46,021, or 23.6%. This increase includes marketing and office operations of $71,754 relating to the HEBioT facility.

 

Other expenses decreased from the three months ended June 30, 2018 to the three months ended June 30, 2019 by $98,318 primarily as a result of a reduction in foreign currency expense of $79,387 and in other historical fees and costs.

Depreciation and amortization

 

Depreciation and amortization increased from the three months ended June 30, 2018 to the three months ended June 30, 2019 by $494,607 due primarily to $490,469 of depreciation and amortization related to the HEBioT facility.

The six months ended June 30, 2019 include the HEBioT facility, which continued through commissioning and initiated accepting MSW for further refinement of the facilities processes during the second quarter. The HEBioT facility is not included in the comparable 2018 period. During the six months ended June 30, 2019 tipping fees amounting to $277,041were charged for the MSW. As the facility was not yet ready to deliver SRF during the commissioning process the plant incurred expenses related to operating the plant, as well as additional disposal fees associated with the SRF. In total HEBioT process expenses amounted to $493,546 for the six months ended June 30, 2019, resulting in a negative contribution, before selling, general and administrative and depreciation and amortization of $216,505. The facility commenced selling SRF during July, which will result in a reduction of future disposal expenses and provide an additional revenue source. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the facility also incurred $554,790 in selling, general and general expenses, as well as $490,469 in depreciation and amortization resulting in a loss from operations of $1,261,764. Comparing the operations that existed during 2018 to the same operations in 2019, the loss from operations increased by $26,650 (1.0%) from $2,558,557 to $2,585,207.

 

The following summarizes revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018:

Revenue

 

HEBioT revenue represents MSW tip fees earned during the commissioning during the second quarter. The facility is designed to convert the MSW into SRF, which is classified by the US Environmental Protection Agency as an alternative commodity fuel. The Company’s first sale of SRF occurred in late July 2019.

 

Rental, service and maintenance revenue increased from the six months ended June 30, 2018 to the six months ended June 30, 2019 by $37,302, or 4.1% primarily due to a reduction in environmental consulting. Digester rental revenue increased from the six months ended June 30, 2018 to the six months ended June 30, 2019 by $138,713, or 25% primarily due to the larger overall number of units deployed. Offsetting the increase in rental revenue were decreases in non-rental maintenance and parts services associated with greater reliability of the digester products.

 

The Company’s focus is on the rental of its digester units. During the six months ended June 30, 2019 the Company had several sales to customers that prefer to buy over rent.

 

The management fees relate to services provided to GMG for executive management and other special projects. The $109,961 increase from the six months ended June 30, 2018 to the six months ended June 30, 2019 is due to an increase in the fee to $1,000,000 per year.

Rental, service and maintenance expenses

 

Rental, service and maintenance expenses mainly consists of the cost of warehousing, installation, maintenance, parts and shipping costs, as well as related salary and employee costs related to rental units. Rental, service and maintenance expense decreased from the six months ended June 30, 2018 to the six months ended June 30, 2019 by $133,897, or 28.8%, primarily due to improved economies of scale resulting from the increase in the number of units under rental, lower maintenance costs associated with the Revolution Series of digesters as well as lower levels of non-rental service and parts revenues (and resulting expenses. The contribution before depreciation from rental, service and maintenance activities increased by $171,199, or 39.2% from $433,925 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 to $605,124 for the six months ended June 30, 2019, resulting in a contribution margin on related sales of 64.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to 48.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2018. 

 

Equipment sales expense

 

While the Company’s focus is on utilizing the rental method of deployment there was $75,234 in sales of digesters during the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Marketing and office operations on a combined basis increased from the six months ended June 30, 2018 to the six months ended June 30, 2019 by $37,995, or 9.3%. This net increase includes marketing and office operations of $161,050 relating to the HEBioT facility.

 

Other expenses increased from the six months ended June 30, 2018 to the six months ended June 30, 2019 by $380,473 primarily as a result of a write-off of costs associated with a MBT site, which amounted to $346,654, and $120,771 in fees and costs related to the HEBioT facility, offset in part by a reduction in other fees and costs that include those relating to the Company’s NASDAQ uplisting in 2018.

Other expenses decreased from the six months ended June 30, 2018 to the six months ended June 30, 2019 by $6,856,339 due to no equity losses in affiliates or warrant valuation and conversion interest, offset by a $135,791 increase in interest expense, which is the result of $646,581 of interest related to the HEBioT facility offset by $510,790 decrease in interest as the result of conversions of debt to equity in February and April 2018 resulting from the maturity of the Company’s Series A convertible debt and conversions related to the uplisting to NASDAQ, respectively.

 

Depreciation and amortization

 

Depreciation and amortization increased from the six months ended June 30, 2018 to the six months ended June 30, 2019 by $508,292 due primarily to $490,469 of depreciation and amortization related to the HEBioT facility.

 

Income tax

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 there was no net provision for income tax due to the losses incurred and management’s evaluation of the recovery of the tax asset resulting in net operating loss carry-forward.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

For the six months June 30, 2019, the Company had a consolidated net loss of $5,148,839, incurred a consolidated loss from operations of $3,846,971 and used net cash in consolidated operating activities of $2,019,055. At June 30, 2019, consolidated total stockholders’ equity amounted to $8,752,463, consolidated stockholders’ equity attributable to parent amounted to $1,880,500 and the Company had a consolidated working capital deficit of $5,190,868. The Company does not yet have a history of financial profitability. Historically the principal source of liquidity has been the issuance of debt and equity securities. Presently, the Company does not have firm commitments to fund its present operational and strategic plans. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company is presently in the process of raising additional capital and debt for general operations and for investment in several strategic initiatives, as well as commercial debt to support its leasing activities. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to raise sufficient capital or debt to sustain operations or to pursue other strategic initiatives or that such financing will be on terms that are favorable to the Company.

 

Subsequent to June 30, 2019, on July 3, 2019 the Company sold its minority investment in GMG for cash amounting to $2,250,000.

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 material weaknesses 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.

 

From time to time, the Company is involved in legal matters arising in the ordinary course of business, during the six months ended June 30, 2019 the Company was involved in the following matters.

 

The Company had accrued their contractual obligations but disputed payment for a consulting services agreement with Tusk Ventures LLC (“Tusk”), in which Tusk claim that it is owed $250,000 pursuant to an agreement. This matter was filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County in April 2017. This matter was settled on April 23, 2019. In connection with the settlement, the Company issued to the plaintiff 75,000 shares of its common stock. 

 

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. Trial is expected to begin in August 2020 and the Company intends to vigorously defend the complaint.

 

It is management’s opinion that the resolution of these known claims will not materially effect the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. There can be no assurance, however, that unforeseen circumstances will not result in significant costs. While the Company believes that these such matters are currently not a risk material to the Company’s financial position, there can be no assurance that these or other 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.

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

 

Commencing on May 10, 2019, BioHiTech Global, Inc. (the “Registrant”) entered into a series of Investor Subscription Agreements with certain accredited investors (the “Investors”), pursuant to which the Registrant agreed to sell and the Investors agreed to purchase in a private placement offering units (the “Units”) in the aggregate offering amount of $1,885,000. On June 28, 2019, the Registrant closed the offering for $1,885,000 in Units. The Registrant received gross proceeds of $1,885,000 from the sale of Units on June 28, 2019 and on May 10, 2019, from twenty four (24) investors. Each Unit, which may be offered in fractions, amount of $100,000, is comprised of 1,000 Shares of the Registrant’s Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series D Preferred Shares”) and warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase a number of shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), up to such 50% of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Share at an exercise price of $3.50 per share of Common Stock. Each share of Series D Preferred Shares have a stated value of $100.00 and is convertible into shares of Common Stock at the price of $3.50 per share based on the stated value of the Series D Preferred being converted. The Series D Preferred Shares has usual dividends at the rate of 9% payable annually in arrears in cash or, at the Company’s option, in Common Stock based upon the then in effect conversion price. The Series D Preferred Shares also have an alternative dividend provision based upon the cash flow distributed to the parent from the Company’s next HEBioT facility, excluding the Company’s plant in Martinsburg, West Virginia, (“the Next Facility”) based upon the Series D Preferred Shares proportional investment in the facility. The Series D Preferred Shares also has an alternative conversion based upon a multiple of the annualized EBITDA of the Next Facility converted at the higher of the conversion rate in effect or the market price of the Company’s common stock if higher.

 

The Company issued 75,000 of its common stock in connection with a legal matter for which the Company had accrued their contractual obligations but disputed payment for a consulting services agreement with Tusk Ventures LLC (“Tusk”), in which Tusk claimed that it was owed $250,000 pursuant to an agreement. This matter was filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County in April 2017. This matter was settled on April 23, 2019. In connection with the settlement, the Company issued to the plaintiff 75,000 shares of its common stock. 

 

All of the securities set forth above were issued by the Company pursuant to exemptions from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder. The Purchase Agreements and the Agreement contain representations to support the Company’s reasonable belief that the investors had access to information concerning the Company’s operations and financial condition, the investors acquired the securities for their own account and not with a view to the distribution thereof in the absence of an effective registration statement or an applicable exemption from registration, and that the investors are sophisticated within the meaning of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and are “accredited investors” (as defined by Rule 501 under the Securities Act). In addition, the sale of securities did not involve a public offering; the Company made no solicitation in connection with the sale other than communications with the investors; the Company obtained representations from the investors regarding their investment intent, experience and sophistication; and the investors either received or had access to adequate information about the Company in order to make an informed investment decision.
