Our patented camelina varieties are purposefully bred to increase yield, quicken maturity, and increase tolerance to drought and pests. Today, GCEH owns the world’s largest portfolio of patented camelina genetics, and we contract directly with farmers around the globe to grow our proprietary camelina crop on fallow land. Once online, the 15,000 barrels per day (“BPD”) nameplate Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery will sell up to its full production capacity of the Renewable Diesel (“RD”) produced to ExxonMobil Oil Corporation (“ExxonMobil”), through a pair of long-term supply agreements described below. The production capacity will be limited due to a hydrogen constraint at the refinery, which, based upon feedstock blend, could limit us to processing no more than ~12,000 BPD of feedstock.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of the Company at December 31, 2021, has been derived from audited

consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2022 have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes to the financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all material adjustments (consisting of all normal accruals) necessary to make the condensed consolidated financial statements not misleading as required by Regulation S-X Rule 10-01. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2022 or any future periods.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of GCEH and its subsidiaries, and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. References to the “ASC” hereafter refer to the Accounting Standards Codification established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) as the source of authoritative U.S. GAAP. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Certain reclassifications have been made within the condensed consolidated financial statements for the prior period to conform with current presentation.

NOTE B — LIQUIDITY

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred losses from continuing operations applicable to its common stockholders of $34.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and had an accumulated deficit of $152.5 million at September 30, 2022. At September 30, 2022, the Company had working capital of negative $158.8 million (which includes no current restricted cash) and a stockholders' deficit of $1.4 million. The retooling of the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery is ongoing and the refinery is expected to commence operations in the first half of 2023. Various scheduling issues experienced to date with our lead contractor and other factors beyond our control have delayed the completion of the project into 2023. While we believe that we will commence operations by July 1, 2023, there can be no assurance that operations will commence by then. Revenues from the refinery will commence with commercial operations. The Company’s primary source of liquidity is cash on hand and available borrowings under its credit facilities. However, because of the uncertainty around the cost of change orders to the refinery, the impact of the delayed timing of revenues and cash flows from the refinery arising from a delay in the completion of construction, and the amount and timing of certain credits due to us from CTCI (defined below), we believe that we may need additional capital to fund certain of our liquidity requirements, which includes completion of the refinery, upstream activities, operational and general and administrative costs, and repayment of financial obligations. Because of the uncertainty of the timing of the completion of the refinery and the initial revenues from the refinery, the above conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least one year from the time the financial statements are issued. Management is undertaking, or has undertaken, several initiatives to mitigate the conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

In order to address our short-term liquidity gap, we secured additional capital from the Senior Lenders on August 5, 2022 (up to $60 million in cash and a deferral of approximately $16 million of cash paid for interest until December 31, 2022) to assist the Company to meet its cash requirements to achieve refinery operations. GCEH and/or its subsidiaries will continue to seek various options to raise cash such as utilizing financing leases, the sale or monetization of assets, and joint ventures for its operations and activities as a whole. Management will continue to explore transactions to maximize available capital, which may include raising additional debt or equity financing, refinancing existing debt, revising our short-term operating plans, reducing anticipated investments in camelina production and in infrastructure improvements, reducing operating expenses, and deferring the timing of payments due for capital expenditures. Also in consideration for the upsizing of the Senior Credit Agreement, among other things, certain subsidiaries of the Company agreed to (i) undertake additional capital raises of at least $10 million prior to December 31, 2022, and aggregating to at least $20 million prior to March 31, 2023. Management believes these plans can be effectively implemented and along with the operating cash flows from the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery, when started, will be sufficient to mitigate the circumstances resulting in substantial doubt for a period not less than one year from the date the financial statements are issued.

Financing Agreements

Credit Facilities

BKRF OCB, LLC, an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of GCEH, is a party to a $397.6 million secured term loan facility (the “Senior Credit Facility”), and BKRF HCB, LLC, also an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of GCEH, is party to a $67.4 million intercompany secured term loan facility (the “Mezzanine Credit Facility”) to which GCEH is the lender (see Note F). The purpose of these facilities is to provide cash to facilitate the construction of the refinery.

On August 5, 2022, certain subsidiaries of the Company entered into Amendment No. 9 to the senior secured term loan Credit Agreement to, among other things, increase the Tranche B Commitments thereunder by $60 million to $397.6 million, extend the start date of the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery to March 31, 2023, and implement certain other commercial arrangements as described therein. Existing defaults and potential events of defaults under the Credit Agreement, if any, were also waived by the lenders in connection with the effectiveness of Amendment No. 9. As payment of an amendment and upsize premium, the Company issued to the lenders warrants to purchase up to 7,468,929 shares of the Company’s common stock, exercisable until December 23, 2028 at an exercise price of $2.25 per share. As of September 30, 2022, we have borrowed $367.6 million available under the Senior Credit Facility.

Preferred Stock

On February 23, 2022, we issued 145,000 shares of our newly created Series C Preferred Stock (the “Series C Preferred”) and five-year warrants (the “GCEH Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 18,547,731 shares of our common stock (5,017,008 issued to settle the Warrant Commitment Liability) at an exercise price of $2.25 per share to ExxonMobil Renewables LLC (“ExxonMobil Renewables”), an affiliate of ExxonMobil, and 11 other institutional investors (all of whom are Senior Lenders under our existing Senior Credit Facility) for an aggregate purchase price of $145 million and the settlement of the Warrant Commitment Liability. As additional consideration for ExxonMobil’s investment, we also granted ExxonMobil Renewables additional warrants (the “GCEH Tranche II Warrants”) to purchase up to 6.5 million shares of common stock at an exercise price per share of $3.75 until February 22, 2028, and a warrant to acquire 33% (19,701,493 shares) of our SusOils subsidiary for $33 million ($1.675 per share) until February 22, 2027 (“SusOil Warrant”). On August 5, 2022, the GCEH Tranche II Warrants were amended to an exercise price of $2.25 per share and the exercise period for all of the ExxonMobil warrants were extended to December 23, 2028. Each of the GCEH Warrants, GCEH Tranche II Warrants and SusOil Warrant may be exercised for cash or by means of cashless exercise, however the GCEH Tranche II Warrants cannot be exercised until the earlier of (i) the date on which ExxonMobil extends the term of the five-year Offtake Agreement (as described below), which did occur on August 5, 2022, that we entered into with ExxonMobil effective April 10, 2019 (as amended), or (ii) a change of control, sale, or the dissolution of the Company. On August 5, 2022, the SusOil Warrant was amended to an exercise price of $1 million ($0.0507 per share). Under the Certificate of Designations of the Series C Preferred, the holders of the Series C Preferred are entitled to receive dividends at a rate of 15%, compounded quarterly provided that, until March 31, 2024, we may elect not to pay some or all of the accrued dividends in cash, in which case the unpaid dividends shall accrue and be added to the original issuance price of the shares of Series C Preferred. The shares of Series C Preferred have no voting rights, except as required by law or with respect to certain protective provisions in the Certificate of Designations. For such time as ExxonMobil holds any shares of Series C Preferred, ExxonMobil will have the right, exercisable at its option, to appoint two directors to GCEH’s Board of Directors. If the Series C Preferred shares have not been redeemed prior to the fifth anniversary of issuance, or upon an event of default under the Certificate of Designations, ExxonMobil will have the right to appoint a majority of the Board of Directors. The Certificate of Designations provides that we will have the right, at any time, to redeem/repurchase the outstanding shares of Series C Preferred (in increments of no less than $25 million), for an amount equal to the Corporate Redemption Price (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) at any time the Series C Preferred is outstanding. The Certificate of Designations of the Series C Preferred Stock provides for mandatory redemption upon a Change of Control or Event of Default (as defined therein) and are not convertible into shares of our common stock. GCEH may redeem the Series C Preferred Stock at any time within the first two years at 1.85 times, and the next three years at 2.0 times, the amount of the investment (including any accrued unpaid dividends).

Sales Agreements

In April 2019, the Company entered into a binding Product Offtake Agreement (the “Offtake Agreement”) with ExxonMobil pursuant to which ExxonMobil has committed to purchase 2.5 million barrels per year of renewable diesel annually (the “Committed Volume”) from the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery (including the Renewable Identification Numbers (“RINs”) allocated to such quantities of renewable diesel), and the Company has committed to sell these quantities of renewable diesel to ExxonMobil. ExxonMobil’s obligation to purchase renewable diesel will last for a period of five years following the date that the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery commences commercial operations (“Start Date”). ExxonMobil has the option to extend the initial five-year term. Either party may terminate the Offtake Agreement if the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery does not meet certain production levels by certain milestone dates following the commencement of the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery’s operations or the Start Date has not occurred by the date set forth in the Offtake Agreement for reasons other than force majeure.

In April 2021, BKRF entered into a Term Purchase Agreement (“TPA”) with ExxonMobil under which ExxonMobil has the right to purchase additional quantities of renewable diesel from our Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery, and the Company is obligated to sell such additional amounts of renewable diesel to ExxonMobil. Under the Offtake Agreement, ExxonMobil committed to purchase the Committed Volume from the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery. However, the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery is designed to produce more than the Committed Volume. Under the TPA, following the Start Date, ExxonMobil has the exclusive right to purchase all renewable diesel produced in excess of the Committed Volume that we sell to ExxonMobil under the Offtake Agreement. The Company also agreed to transfer title to ExxonMobil of the RINs allocated to the quantities of renewable diesel purchased under the TPA. In the event that ExxonMobil does not purchase all of the renewable diesel that it can under the TPA and, as a result, our inventory levels exceed certain specified levels, the Company can sell that extra inventory to third parties. The TPA has a five-year term. ExxonMobil has the option to extend the initial five-year term for a second five-year term if it elects to extend the Offtake Agreement.

In connection with the transactions contemplated by Amendment No. 9, the Company also entered into a transaction agreement with ExxonMobil Renewables and ExxonMobil, pursuant to which, among other things, certain subsidiaries of the Company and ExxonMobil entered into amendments to the Company’s Product Off-Take Agreement and Term Purchase Agreement in order to extend the initial terms thereof to 66 months, to increase certain committed volumes under the Product Off-Take Agreement from 105 million gallons per year (“MGPY”) to 135 MGPY, and to implement certain other commercial arrangements between the parties as described therein in exchange for issuing new immediately-vested warrants and modifying existing outstanding warrants (see Note H).

Under both agreements, we retain 100% of the co-products, which include renewable propane, renewable naphtha and renewable butane. In February 2022, our BKRF subsidiary entered into an agreement with AmeriGas Propane (“Amerigas”), a subsidiary of UGI Corporation, whereby Amerigas will purchase the renewable propane produced at the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery up to a certain maximum volume amount, with an option then to acquire any volume in excess of such amount. The first twelve months of renewable propane to be delivered is estimated to be approximately 13 million gallons. The agreement has an initial term of three years, subject to an evergreen provision on an annual basis unless affirmatively terminated by either Party at the end of the initial 3-year term or any subsequent annual extension. The Company is also pursuing sales contracts for renewable naphtha and renewable butane.

NOTE C - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Restricted Cash

In accordance with the Company’s credit facilities, the Company is required to advance the calculated interest expense on its borrowings at the time of such borrowings to the estimated commercial operational date of the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery. This interest is deposited into a designated account and the appropriate amount is paid to the lenders at the end of each quarter. Additionally, the construction funds are deposited into their own designated account and deposited from that designated account into a BKRF account only upon approval by the lenders to pay for specific construction, facility, and related costs. These two accounts are restricted and not directly accessible by the Company for general use, although these funds are assets of the Company. The Company estimates how much of this cash is likely to be capitalized into the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery project in the form of a long-term asset, and classifies this amount as long-term. The Company makes this determination based on its budget, recent and near-term invoicing, and internal projections.

Cash and Cash Equivalents; Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments maturing in six months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents at high quality financial institutions. However, deposits exceed the federally insured limits. At September 30, 2022, the Company had approximately $5.3 million in uninsured cash.

Foreign Currency Translation

Our Spanish subsidiary uses the Euro as its functional currency. Assets and liabilities are translated using exchange rates at the balance sheet dates, and revenues and expenses are translated at weighted average rates. Adjustments from the translation process are recognized in stockholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). During the three months ended September 30, 2022 the Company recognized income of $156 thousand and had no comparable foreign translation income or loss for the three months September 30, 2021. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized income of $170 thousand and had no comparable foreign translation income or loss adjustments in the nine months ended September 30, 2021

Inventories

Inventories currently consist of Camelina seeds, grain, meal, and oil. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined based on standard cost. On March 31, 2022, the Company recognized a loss in the amount of $319 thousand due to inventories being adjusted to the lower of cost or net realizable value. There were no lower of cost or net realizable value adjustments made to the inventory values reported as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation of office equipment and transportation equipment are computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of 3 to 5 years. Refinery assets and buildings are depreciated using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of 5 to 25 years. However, the refinery will not begin to be depreciated until its retrofitting has been completed and it is ready for operations. Normal maintenance and repair items are charged to operating costs and are expensed as incurred. The cost and accumulated depreciation of property, plant and equipment sold or otherwise retired are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss on disposition is reflected in the statements of operations. Interest on borrowings related to the retrofitting of the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery is being capitalized, which will continue until the refinery is placed in service. During the three months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, interest of $14.9 million and $8.8 million, respectively, was capitalized and is included in property, plant and equipment, net. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, interest of $38.0 million and $21.5 million, respectively, was capitalized and is included in property, plant and equipment, net, for a total of $78.3 million of capitalized interest for the project.

Long-lived Assets

In accordance with U.S. GAAP for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, the carrying values of intangible assets and other long-lived assets are reviewed on a regular basis for the existence of facts or circumstances that may suggest impairment. The Company recognizes impairment when the aggregate of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. Impairment losses, if any, are measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its estimated fair value. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, there were no impairment losses recognized on long-lived assets.

GLOBAL CLEAN ENERGY HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Goodwill and Indefinite Lived Assets

The Company’s indefinite lived assets consist of goodwill and trade names. Goodwill represents the excess of the fair value of consideration over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is allocated at the date of the business combination. Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for impairment annually on December 31 of each year or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the asset may be impaired. We have one reporting unit. The first step in our annual goodwill assessment is to perform the optional qualitative assessment allowed by ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other” (“ASC 350”). In our qualitative assessment, we evaluate relevant events or circumstances to determine whether it is more likely than not (i.e., greater than 50%) that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If we determine that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, ASC 350 requires us to compare the fair value of such reporting unit to its carrying value including goodwill. The other indefinite lived assets were separately identified intangible assets apart from goodwill. These separately identified assets with indefinite lives are not amortized and instead are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate a likely impairment.

Debt Issuance Costs

Debt issuance costs primarily relate to financing to fund the costs of retrofitting the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery and are amortized over the term of the loan as interest under the effective interest method; however, as such interest primarily relates to retrofitting of the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery, these costs are being capitalized as part of the refinery until it is placed in service. The amortization of the debt issuance costs that are not capitalized are recorded as interest expense. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, unamortized debt issuance costs related to the Senior Credit Facility and Bridge Loan (see Note F) are classified as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of each credit facility; however, at December 31, 2021 unamortized debt issuance costs related to the Mezzanine Credit Facility (as defined below) are presented on the balance sheet as an asset as there had not been any borrowings on the Mezzanine Credit Facility. Effective as of February 23, 2022, the Mezzanine Credit Facility was assigned to and fully funded by GCEH, and as a result, the unamortized debt issuance costs of $3.9 million related to the Mezzanine Credit Facility was recorded as a loss on debt extinguishment in the nine months ended September 30, 2022. During the three months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021 there were no losses on debt extinguishment. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 there were no losses on debt extinguishment. See Note F - Debt for more detail on the financing.

Accrued Liabilities

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, accrued liabilities consists of:

	As of September 30, 2022		As of December 31, 2021
Accrued compensation and related liabilities	$	4,915,407	$	3,818,701
Accrued interest payable		2,066,486		1,857,343
Accrued construction costs		120,137,628		27,045,738
Other accrued liabilities		4,476,533		3,677,671
Current portion of asset retirement obligations		4,404,256		2,530,000
Current portion of environmental liabilities		4,246,760		1,339,550
	$	140,247,070	$	40,269,003

The Company has recorded amounts for services performed and invoiced from its EPC contractor through September 30, 2022 in accrued construction costs.

Asset Retirement Obligations

The Company recognizes liabilities which represent the fair value of a legal obligation to perform asset retirement activities, including those that are conditional on a future event, when the amount can be reasonably estimated. If a reasonable estimate cannot be made at the time the liability is incurred, we record the liability when sufficient information is available to estimate the liability’s fair value. We have asset retirement obligations with respect to our Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery due to various legal obligations to clean and/or dispose of these assets at the time they are retired. However, the majority of these assets can be used for extended and indeterminate periods of time provided that they are properly maintained and/or upgraded. It is our practice and intent to continue to maintain these assets and make improvements based on technological advances. In order to determine the fair value of the obligations, management must make certain estimates and assumptions including, among other things, projected cash flows, timing of such cash flows, a credit-adjusted risk-free rate and an assessment of market conditions that could significantly impact the estimated fair value of the asset retirement obligations. We believe the estimates selected, in each instance, represent our best estimate of future outcomes, but the actual outcomes could differ from the estimates selected.

We estimate our escalation rate at 3.33% and our discount factor ranges from 3.62% in year one to 7.26% in year twenty, with the weighted average discount rate being 5.0%. See Note K - Commitments and Contingencies for more detail on environmental liabilities, which are accounted for separately from asset retirement obligations.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the changes in asset retirement obligations for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021.

	Nine months ended September 30, 2022			Year ended December 31, 2021
Asset retirement obligations - beginning of period	$	20,191,429		$	21,478,977
Disbursements		(262,494	)		(2,265,557	)
Accretion		687,135			978,009
Asset retirement obligations - end of period	$	20,616,070		$	20,191,429

The amounts shown as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 include $4.4 million and $2.5 million, respectively, which have been classified as current liabilities and included in accrued liabilities and $16.2 million and $17.7 million which have been classified as long term liabilities as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Advances to Contractors

Upon the acquisition of the Bakersfield Biorefinery, the Company advanced $20.1 million to its primary construction contractor for invoices to be billed against the Guaranteed Maximum Price for the Engineering, Procurement and Construction (“EPC”) of the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Project contract (“G-Max Contract”). These funds are credited against future invoices in accordance with an agreed schedule. In May 2021 we replaced our former contractor and entered into a new G-Max Contract with a new contractor. As of September 30, 2021, the $20.1 million advanced to the initial primary construction contractor has been reduced to zero and a new advance has been made to the new primary construction contractor in the amount of $17.8 million. The amount of $17.8 million has been fully utilized against progress billings as of September 30, 2022, resulting in $0.0 reflected as advances to contractor. As of December 31, 2021 advances to contractor were $10.0 million.

Income Taxes

The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and the carryforward of operating losses and tax credits, and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance against deferred tax assets is recorded when it is more likely than not that such tax benefits will not be realized. Assets and liabilities are established for uncertain tax positions taken or positions expected to be taken in income tax returns when such positions are judged to not meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold based on the technical merits of the positions. Estimated interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions are included as a component of general and administrative expense. The Company has recorded a 100% valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue From Contracts With Customers, using the following five-step model: (1) identify the contract with the customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue. The Company is engaged in contracting with farmers to grow camelina grain that will be processed into oil for use in Bakersfield Biorefinery. The Company recognizes revenues upon the sale of its patented camelina seed to the farmers and also for the crushed camelina meal that it plans to sell to third party livestock and poultry operators. The Company recognized in the three months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021 $0.9 million and $0.0 million in revenue, respectively. The Company recognized in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021 $2.1 million and $0.2 million in revenue, respectively. Based upon the Company’s Product Offtake Agreement (see Note B - Liquidity), the Company expects to begin recognizing revenue from the sale of renewable diesel upon the start-up of the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery and upon such time the Company delivers on its performance obligations.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are charged to operating expenses when incurred, which were nominal for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021.

Fair Value Measurements and Fair Value of Financial Instruments

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the carrying amounts of the Company's financial instruments that are not reported at fair value in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, including cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the carrying amounts of the Company's financial instruments that are not reported at fair value in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, including the convertible note payable to the executive officer approximate their fair value due to the recent amendments that reflect current market conditions. The Class B Units, issued by BKRF HCB, LLC, are reported at fair value. Additionally, as further described below, the Company recognized a liability for a warrant commitment to its Senior Lenders at December 31, 2021 as part of a debt modification included in its executed Amendment No. 6 to its Senior Credit Facility, which is reported at fair value. The Senior Credit Facility is a long-term fixed rate debt instrument which has a carrying amount that is approximately at fair value based on a comparison of recently completed market transactions.

U.S. GAAP specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company's market assumptions. These two types of inputs have created the following fair-value hierarchy:

Level 1— Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;

Level 2— Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and

Level 3— Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

On December 20, 2021, the Company executed Amendment No. 6 to the Senior Credit Facility whereby the Company agreed to issue warrants covering 5,017,008 shares of common stock of GCEH at an exercise price to be determined based on a market pricing mechanism, which was $2.25 per share, upon the completion of the Series C Preferred Stock financing (“Series C Financing”) for a term of five years from that date (the “Warrant Commitment Liability”) (See Note B). The Warrant Commitment Liability was in consideration for (i) the 1%, or $4.1 million, consent premium payable from an earlier amendment to the Senior and Mezzanine Credit Facilities, (ii) the Bridge Loan, and (iii) as additional creditor fees for forbearance to the Senior Lenders and Mezzanine Lenders. Such creditor fees were recorded as additional debt discount. The Company recognized a Warrant Commitment Liability as a freestanding instrument that is classified as a liability under ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities From Equity”, as the commitment to issue the warrants represents a variable share settlement where the warrants to be issued to the Senior Lenders vary based on occurrence of the February 23, 2022 issuance of Series C Preferred and GCEH Warrants (see Note B). This Warrant Commitment Liability was initially recognized at fair value and was measured at fair value at each reporting date until it was settled with changes in fair value recognized in earnings in other income (expense). This Warrant Commitment Liability was settled on February 23, 2022 as part of the issuance of the Company’s warrants for 5,017,008 shares of common stock of GCEH to the Senior Lenders.

The following is the recorded fair value of the Class B Units as of September 30, 2022:

Estimates

Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and reported revenues and expenses. Significant estimates used in preparing these financial statements include (a) valuation of common stock, warrants, and stock options, (b) estimated useful lives of equipment and intangible assets, (c) the estimated costs to remediate or clean-up the refinery site, and the inflation rate, credit-adjusted risk-free rate and timing of payments to calculate the asset retirement obligations, (d) the estimated costs to remediate or clean-up identified environmental liabilities, (e) the estimated future cash flows, which are adjusted for current market conditions and various operational revisions, and the various metrics required to establish a reasonable estimate of the value of the Class B Units and the Warrant Commitment Liability issued to the Company’s lenders under the Senior Credit Facility, and (f) the fair value of the consideration for acquisitions and the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. It is reasonably possible that the significant estimates used will change within the next year.

Income/Loss per Common Share

Income/Loss per share amounts are computed by dividing income or loss applicable to the common stockholders of the Company by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted income or loss per share amounts are computed assuming the issuance of common stock for potentially dilutive common stock equivalents. The number of dilutive warrants, options, and convertible notes and accrued interest is computed using the treasury stock method, whereby the dilutive effect is reduced by the number of treasury shares the Company could purchase with the proceeds from exercises of warrants and options.

The following table presents instruments that were potentially dilutive for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021 that were excluded from diluted earnings per share as they would have been anti-dilutive:

	Three months ended September 30, 2022		Three months ended September 30, 2021		Nine months ended September 30, 2022		Nine months ended September 30, 2021
Convertible notes and accrued interest		7,600,257		7,292,262		7,600,257		7,292,262

Stock Based Compensation

The Company recognizes compensation expense for stock-based awards expected to vest on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award based on their grant date fair value. However, in the case of awards with accelerated vesting, the amount of compensation expense recognized at any date will be based upon the portion of the award that is vested at that date. The Company estimates the fair value of service-based stock options using a Black-Scholes option pricing model which requires management to make estimates for certain assumptions regarding risk-free interest rate, expected life of options, expected volatility of stock and expected dividend yield of stock. During April 2022, the Company issued 600,000 of market-based equity incentive options to an officer. There were no other market-based equity incentive options issued during 2021 or 2022. As these market-based options vest after the Company's common stock price has achieved a specified price per share as compared to the service-based stock options previously described that vest over the requisite service period, these options were valued and estimated using a Monte-Carlo simulation under a risk-neutral framework and the fair value was determined to be equal to the average value over 100,000 model iterations. Forfeitures are accounted for as incurred.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), which reduces the complexity of the accounting for convertible debt instruments and its effect on earnings per share calculation. The guidance reduces the number of accounting models used for convertible debt instruments, which will result in fewer embedded conversion features being recognized separately from the original contract. This will also affect the guidance associated with convertible debt for earnings-per-share by requiring the if-converted method rather than the treasury stock method, requiring that potential share settlement be included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share and clarifying that an entity should use the weighted-average share count from each quarter when calculating the year-to-date weighted-average share count. For public business entities, the amendments in ASU 2020-06 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those years, and early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those years. The Company formally elected to early-adopt ASU 2020-06 as of January 1, 2022. As the Company did not have any instruments subject to the changes provided in ASU 2020-06 prior to January 1, 2022, there was no material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers ("ASU 2021-08"), which updates the guidance related to the acquisition of revenue contracts in a business combination. The new guidance requires that the acquiring entity recognize and measure contract assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606. At the acquisition date the acquirer should recognize the contract assets and liabilities under Topic 606 as they would have been recognized at contract origination rather than at fair value at the time of the acquisition. The intent is to create more comparability of recognition and measurement of the acquired contracts in business combinations. For public business entities, the amendments in ASU 2021-08 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is evaluating the impact of the guidance on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10, Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance ("ASU 2021-10"), which requires business entities to provide certain disclosures when they (1) have received government assistance and (2) use a grant or contribution accounting model by analogy to other accounting guidance. The guidance will require business entities to disclose the nature of the transactions, accounting policies used to account for the transactions, and state which line items on the balance sheet and income statement are affected by these transactions and the amount applicable to each financial statement line. Business entities will also have to disclose significant terms and conditions of transactions with a government such as the duration of the agreement, any commitments made by either side, provisions, and contingencies. The guidance in ASU 2021-10 is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company adopted ASU 2021-10 on January 1, 2022, and there was no material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date of issuance of the condensed consolidated financial statements. Where applicable, the notes to these condensed consolidated financial statements have been updated to discuss all significant subsequent events which have occurred.

Senior Credit Facility and Bridge Loan:

On May 4, 2020, BKRF OCB, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of GCEH, entered into the Senior Credit Facility with a group of lenders (the “Senior Lenders”) pursuant to which the Senior Lenders agreed to provide a $300.0 million senior secured term loan facility to BKRF OCB to pay the costs of retooling the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery. Through various amendments, the commitments under the Senior Credit Facility have subsequently been increased to $397.6 million. As of September 30, 2022, we have borrowed $367.6 million under the Senior Credit Facility and subsequent to September 30, 2022, we have borrowed the remaining $30 million available under the Senior Credit Facility. Outstanding term loans under the Senior Credit Facility bear interest at the rate of 12.5% per annum, payable quarterly, provided that the borrower may defer up to 2.5% interest to the extent it does not have sufficient cash to pay the interest, which the deferred interest was increased up to 3.5% effective February 23, 2022, and under Amendment No. 9 effective August 5, 2022, the deferred interest can be the full 12.5% interest for the third and fourth quarters of 2022. The Company deferred the full interest payment of $11.8 million in the quarter ending September 30, 2022 for a total outstanding amount of $393.3 million as of September 30, 2022. The principal of the senior loans matures in November 2026, provided that BKRF OCB, LLC must offer to prepay the senior loans with any proceeds of such asset dispositions, borrowings other than permitted borrowings, proceeds from damage or losses at the refinery, and excess net cash flow. BKRF OCB, LLC may also prepay the senior loans in whole or in part with the payment of a prepayment premium. As additional consideration for the senior loans, the Senior Lenders are issued Class B Units in BKRF HCP, LLC, an indirect parent company of BKRF OCB, LLC, as the Company draws on the Senior Credit Facility. The fair value of the Class B Units are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently re-measured at fair value each reporting period with changes recognized in earnings. The Class B Units are discussed further below.

On March 26, 2021, Amendment No. 3 to the Senior Credit Facility was made effective to more accurately reflect the updated scope and cost estimates of the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery and to establish a contingency reserve account to fund the costs of the additional capabilities and equipment and to fund possible cost overruns. Concurrently, Consent No. 2 and Amendment No. 2 to the Senior Credit Facility were made effective, which, among other things, established a consent premium equal to 1.00% of the aggregate commitments (“Consent Premium”), to be paid in the form of equity or cash to the Lenders, subject to whether the Company raises capital of $35 million prior to July 31, 2021. The Consent Premium was paid in connection with the consummation of the Series C Financing on February 23, 2022, as described below.

On May 19, 2021, Amendment No. 4 to the Senior Credit Facility was made effective to replace the Engineering, Procurement and Construction Agreement dated April 30, 2020 with ARB, Inc. (the “ARB EPC Agreement”), effective immediately with a Engineering, Procurement and Construction Agreement with CTCI Americas, Inc. (the “CTCI EPC Agreement”). The subcontracts for the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery will remain in effect and are being subsumed in the CTCI EPC Agreement. Accordingly, the subcontractors will continue to provide their services for the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery through CTCI.

On July 29, 2021, Amendment No. 5 to the Senior Credit Facility was made effective to increase the amount of funding available under the Senior Credit Facility by $4.4 million, to $317.6 million. In addition, under Amendment No. 4 and Amendment No. 5, the parties agreed to change the date by which the borrowers under the two credit agreements (the Company’s BKRF OCB, LLC and BKRF HCB, LLC subsidiaries) had to establish an additional cash contingency reserve of at least $35 million from July 31, 2021 to September 15, 2021. Further, with respect to the Consent Premium established on March 26, 2021, Amendment No. 5 constituted that the Consent Premium will be payable by the Company issuing warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. The warrants were to be issued on the earlier of September 15, 2021 or the closing of an equity raise in which the Company sells at least $10 million of its common stock.

The Company subsequently received a waiver extending equity raise target date to November 19, 2021 and again in November 2021, based on further discussion with Senior Lenders, was waived until the December 20, 2021 amendment discussed below.

On December 20, 2021, Amendment No. 6 to Senior Credit Facility was made effective, which, among other things, increased the amount of funding available under the Senior Credit Facility by $20.0 million to $337.6 million and to provide a new Bridge Loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $20.0 million. The Bridge Loan bore interest at the rate of 12.5% per annum and had a stated maturity date of January 31, 2022. The Bridge Loan was paid in full on February 23, 2022 in connection with the Series C Financing. In connection with Amendment No. 6 to the Senior Credit Facility, GCEH committed to the Senior Lenders to issue warrants covering 5,017,008 shares of common stock of GCEH at an exercise price to be determined based on a market pricing mechanism upon the completion of the Series C Financing for a term of five years from that date. These warrants were issued on February 23, 2022 in connection with the consummation of the Series C Financing, and were issued in consideration for (i) the Consent Premium payable from an earlier amendment to the Senior and Mezzanine Credit Facilities, (ii) the Bridge Loan, and (iii) as additional creditor fees for forbearance to the Senior Lenders and Mezzanine Lenders.

Also on December 20, 2021, the Company entered into Forbearance and Conditional Waiver Agreement and Consent No. 5, Forbearance and Conditional Waiver Agreement. Under the respective forbearance agreements, the Senior Lenders agreed to forbear from exercising their rights and remedies under the Senior Credit Facility, the Mezzanine Credit Agreement, and the related Financing Documents with respect to all Defaults and Events of Default thereunder. Such Defaults and Events of Default were waived upon the consummation of the Series C Financing and the payment of a cash equity contribution to the senior borrower of $115 million.

On January 7, 2022, the Company borrowed an incremental $8.0 million on the Bridge Loan, and the total outstanding at that time was $20.0 million.

On February 2, 2022, Amendment No. 7 to Senior Credit Facility was made effective, which, among other things, extended the forbearance period and each respective deadline to satisfy the conditions precedent for the conditional waivers to become permanent waivers were extended from January 31, 2022 to February 23, 2022. Additionally, the maturity date of the Bridge Loan was extended from January 31, 2022 to February 23, 2022 and was fully paid on February 23, 2022.

On February 23, 2022, Amendment No. 8 to the Senior Credit Facility modified a previous provision whereby the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery needs to achieve Substantial Completion, as defined under the Senior Credit Facility, no later than August 31, 2022, or an event of default occurs and the Senior Lenders have the right to accelerate the loan for immediate payment of all principal and interest accrued to that date. The amendment also requires a quarterly principal prepayment amount to achieve an agreed-upon end-of-quarter targeted debt balance designed to meet the full payment of the Senior Credit Facility by November 4, 2026. The Company is only obligated to pay this quarterly principal amount to achieve these targeted debt balances to the extent there is available cash under the specific calculations required in the Senior Credit Facility. The full amount of the loan matures and is due on November 4, 2026. Additionally, the $35 million reserve requirement from Amendment No. 3 was eliminated by Amendment No. 8 in conjunction with the Series C Preferred Financing.

Effective as of February 23, 2022, the Senior Credit Facility was further amended to permit the Loan Parties to defer up to 3.50% per annum of the interest until the earlier of September 30, 2022 or the final completion of the retooling of the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery, with all deferred interest being added to principal. In addition, effective as of February 23, 2022, the parties agreed to various amendments to the representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default in the senior loan facility, including (i) the Company’s loan subsidiaries may enter into working capital facilities in an amount of up to $125 million without the Senior Lenders’ consent, and the Company agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts to enter into a permitted working capital facility on or before June 30, 2022; (ii) the retooling of the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery must be substantially complete by August 31, 2022 (subject to extension for up to 90 days as described above); and (iii) the final completion of the retooling of the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery must be achieved by January 31, 2023.

On August 5, 2022, certain subsidiaries of the Company entered into Amendment No. 9 to the Senior Credit Facility to, among other things, increase the Tranche B Commitments thereunder by $60 million to $397.6 million, extend the commercial operation date of the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery to March 31, 2023, and implement certain other commercial arrangements as described therein. Existing defaults and potential events of defaults under the Senior Credit Facility, if any, were also waived by the lenders in connection with the effectiveness of Amendment No. 9. The Company’s loan subsidiaries may enter into working capital facilities in an amount of up to $125 million without the Senior Lenders’ consent, and the Company agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts to enter into a permitted working capital facility on or before October 1, 2022 with a 90-day extension based on the start-up of the refinery; (ii) the retooling of the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery must be substantially complete by March 31, 2023 (subject to extension for up to 90 days as described above); and (iii) the final completion of the retooling of the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery must be achieved within six m months of the substantially complete date. The Company has deferred 100% of its cash interest payment due on September 30, 2022 and expects it will also defer 100% of its cash interest payment due on December 31, 2022, as such payments are allowed under the paid in kind provisions of the Senior Credit Facility.

Mezzanine Credit Facility

On May 4, 2020, BKRF HCB, LLC, the indirect parent of BKRF OCB, LLC, entered into a Mezzanine Credit Facility with a group of Mezzanine Lenders who agreed to provide a $65 million secured term loan facility to be used to pay the costs of repurposing and starting up the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery. Subsequently, the Mezzanine Credit Facility was increased to $67.4 million. In connection with the Series C Financing, on February 23, 2022 the Mezzanine Credit Facility was assigned to, and assumed by GCEH and the Mezzanine Lenders have no further rights to the Mezzanine Credit Facility.

Fixed Payment Obligation

The Company amended a derivative forward contract during the quarter ended March 31, 2020, with the counterparty. The amendment terminated the derivative forward contract and replaced it with a fixed payment obligation. Under the terms of the fixed payment obligation, the Company agreed to pay the counterparty a total of $23.1 million, which included a payment of $5.5 million in April 2020, and six equal installment payments in 2022 totaling $17.6 million. Under the subsequent revised terms of the fixed payment obligation in April 2020, the Company agreed to pay the counterparty a total of $24.8 million, which included a payment of $4.5 million in June 2020 (which was paid), and six equal monthly installment payments beginning in May 2022 for a total of $20.3 million. For financial reporting purposes, the fixed payment obligation has been recorded at the present value of future payments, using a discount rate of 14.8%. Effective May 11, 2022, the Company agreed with the counterparty to amend the payment structure whereby the Company will begin making payments beginning one month after the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery begins operations and generates revenues, but no later than January 2023. The total amount of payments has been increased to $22.8 million and will start at $1.5 million in the first month and escalate monthly to approximately $6.2 million at the sixth month which will be the final payment.

Other Notes Payable

Included in “Other notes” as of September 30, 2022, in the above table, is a note, that is due upon demand related to the Company’s business activities prior to 2019, in the principal amount of $1.3 million and an interest rate of 18% per annum. Also included in ”Other notes” above, is a note payable that was used to finance the Company’s insurance policies. Upon the acquisition of the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery in May 2020, the Company purchased numerous insurance contracts to cover its corporate, ownership and construction risks primarily to provide financial protection against various risks and to satisfy certain lender requirements. The Company paid 35% of the total premiums and financed the balance at 3.8% annual interest rate. The Company was obligated to make seventeen equal monthly payments totaling approximately $4.5 million beginning in July 2020, which have now been fully paid. The insurance policies cover various periods from 12 to 60 months beginning in May 2020. At various times in 2022, the Company entered into new insurance policies to replace the policies that were expiring and to insure for additional identified risks. The Company has financed several policies at finance rates of 4.9% to 5.15% and at various percentages of down payments with payments of varying monthly lengths. The Company expects that it will continue to finance certain policy premiums.

In March 2021, we entered into a promissory note with MUFG Union Bank, N.A. (“Union Bank”) effective March 29, 2021, that provided for a loan in the amount of $0.6 million (the “PPP Loan”) pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) established under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). The PPP Loan was subject to forgiveness under the PPP upon our request to the extent that the proceeds were used to pay expenses permitted by the PPP, including payroll costs, covered rent and mortgage obligations, and covered utility payments. The PPP Loan, which is included in "Other notes" above, was to mature on March 29, 2026, five years from the commencement date and bore interest at a rate of 1% per annum. In December 2021, the Company submitted an application for forgiveness of the entire $0.6 million due on the PPP Loan and as of September 20, 2022 the PPP Loan had been forgiven in full.

Convertible Note Payable to Executive Officer

On October 16, 2018, Richard Palmer, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and President, entered into a new employment agreement with the Company and concurrently agreed to defer $1 million of his accrued unpaid salary and bonus for two years. In order to evidence the deferral, the Company and Mr. Palmer entered into a $1 million convertible promissory note (the “Convertible Note”). The Convertible Note accrues simple interest on the outstanding principal balance of the note at the annual rate of five percent (5%) and became due and payable on October 15, 2020, its maturity date. Under its existing credit agreements, the Company is restricted from repaying Mr. Palmer’s loan and, accordingly, was in default under the Convertible Note. The Company accrued interest expense of $50,000 on this note in the year ended December 31, 2021. The Company had recorded accrued interest payable of approximately $180,000 and $160,000 as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 respectively. Under the Convertible Note, Mr. Palmer has the right, exercisable at any time until the Convertible Note is fully paid, to convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal balance and accrued and unpaid interest into shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.154 per share. On February 23, 2022, the Company amended Mr. Palmer's note to extend the term to the later of February 23, 2024 or upon the redemption of the Series C Preferred shares. The convertible note will bear interest at 5% per annum beginning as of February 23, 2022 and the total number of shares that the note can be converted into is a maximum of 7,616,305.

Convertible Notes Payable

The Company had several notes that were convertible into shares of the Company or the Company’s subsidiaries at different prices: ranging from $0.30 per share into the Company’s stock and up to $1.48 per share into SusOils’s common stock. These notes have passed their original maturity date and they continue to accrue interest at varying rates, from 8% to 10%. On March 26, 2021, we issued 1,586,786 shares of the Company’s common stock to the holder of a convertible promissory note upon the conversion of the entire outstanding balance, principal and accrued interest, for that note. During June 2021, the Company paid the remaining notes and the accrued interest either by an agreed cash settlement or through the issuance of common shares at an agreed price of $5.75 per share. As of September 30, 2022, there are no remaining convertible notes payable to third parties.

The following table summarizes the minimum required payments of notes payable and long-term debt as of September 30, 2022:

Year	Required Minimum Payments

Class B Units

As described above, the Company has issued 367.6 million Class B Units of its subsidiary, BKRF OCB, LLC to its Senior Lenders as of September 30, 2022. To the extent that there is distributable cash, the Company is obligated to make certain distribution payments to holders of Class B Units, and after the distributions reach a certain limit the units will no longer require further distributions and will be considered fully redeemed. The Class B unit holders may receive a portion of the distributable cash, as defined under the Senior Credit Facility, available to BKRF HCB, LLC, but generally only up to 25% of the available cash after the required interest and principal payments, operating expenses and ongoing capital requirements have been paid. On August 5, 2022, this percentage was increased from 25% to 35% of defined distributable cash. Such payments commence once the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery begins operations and will continue through the later of five years after operations of the refinery begins or until the cumulative distributions reach a certain threshold defined in the operating agreement of BKRF HCB, LLC. The aggregate total payments (including distributions to the Class B Units, all interest and principal payments) to the Senior Lenders cannot exceed two times the amount of the borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility, or approximately $735.2 million. The aggregate fair value of such units on the date of their issuances totaled approximately $16.5 million which were recorded as debt discount. The aggregate fair value of the earned units as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was approximately $14.9 million and $21.6 million, respectively. It is expected that the fair value will fluctuate depending on market inputs that impact the projected distributable cash. The fair value is largely based on the present value of the expected distributions that will be made to the Class B Unit holders, which consider various risk factors, including a market risk premium, project size, projected volumes and pricing, the continuation of the Blenders Tax Credit, the uniqueness and age of the refinery, the volatility of the feedstock and refinery inputs, operational costs, environmental costs and compliance, effective tax rates, illiquidity of the units, and the timing of the cash flows to the unit holders. The value assumes the completion of the refinery during the first half of 2023, annual volatility of 105.0% and a risk free rate of 3.84%. The value was derived by utilizing a Monte Carlo Simulation and taking the average over 100,000 iterations.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 

The Class B Units meet the definition of a mandatorily redeemable financial instrument under ASC 480 because BKRF HCB, LLC has an unconditional obligation to redeem the Class B Units by transferring assets at a specified time. Pursuant to ASC 825-10, the Company has elected the fair value option for the Class B Units. Accordingly, at each borrowing the Company will initially recognize the Class B Unit liability based on the issuance date fair value with an offset to the discount on the Senior Credit Facility. The Company measures their Class B Units at fair value at each reporting date with changes recognized in other income/expense.

NOTE G - STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Common stock

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company issued no shares and 310,500 shares of its common stock, respectively, upon the exercise of stock options. These option exercises consisted of 50,000, 160,000 and 100,500 shares issued to a member of the board of directors, consultants and employees, respectively.

On April 21, 2022 and May 15, 2022, the Company issued 50,000 shares each of its common stock upon the exercise of stock options by two executive officers.

Series B Convertible Preferred Stock

On November 6, 2007, the Company sold a total of 13,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B Shares”) to two investors for an aggregate purchase price of $1.3 million, less offering costs of $9,265. Each share of the Series B Shares has a stated value of $100.

The Series B Shares were convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock. As of June 30, 2021, the two holders of the shares of preferred stock tendered notices of conversion, and all of the outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock were converted into 1,181,819 shares of the Company’s common stock. As a result, effective as of June 30, 2021, the Company had no outstanding Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.

Series C Preferred Stock

On February 23, 2022, the Company completed a private placement of an aggregate of 145,000 preferred shares (125,000 and 20,000 shares to ExxonMobil Renewables, an affiliate of ExxonMobil, and the Senior Lenders, respectively) of Series C Preferred Stock and warrants exercisable to purchase an aggregate of 18,547,731 (5,017,008 issued to settle the Warrant Commitment Liability to the Senior Lenders - see Note B) shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $2.25 per share to ExxonMobil Renewables, and 11 other institutional investors (all of whom are also lenders under our existing Senior Credit Facility) respectively, for an aggregate purchase price of $145 million and the settlement of the Warrant Commitment Liability (see Note B). As a result of the difference between the $20 million received by the Company from the Senior Lenders for the purchase of the Series C Preferred Stock and the fair value of the Series C Preferred Stock, the Company recorded a $9.9 million deemed contribution from the Senior Lenders to Additional paid-in Capital.

For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we did not declare or pay cash distributions to the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock. Included in the carrying value of the Series C preferred Stock was the amount of the cumulative, declared dividends of $5.8 million and $13.5 million, along with the accretion of $1.8 million and $3.5 million for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2022 respectively. These amounts are recorded as a reduction to Additional Paid-in Capital for the respective periods.

NOTE H – STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS

2020 Equity Incentive Plan

In April 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the Global Clean Energy Holdings, Inc. 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”) wherein 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were reserved for issuance thereunder. Options and awards granted to new or existing officers, directors, employees, and non-employees vest ratably over a period as individually approved by the Board of Directors generally over three years, but not in all cases. The 2020 Plan provides for a three-month exercise period of vested options upon termination of service. The exercise price of options granted under the 2020 Plan is equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Options issued under the 2020 Plan have a maximum term of ten years for exercise and may be exercised with cash consideration or through a cashless exercise in which the holder forfeits a portion of the award in exchange for shares of common stock of the remaining portion of the award. As of September 30, 2022, there were 2,450,010 shares available for future option grants under the 2020 Plan.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company granted stock options for the purchase of a total of 3,081,203 shares of Common Stock under the 2020 Plan, of which 2,981,203 were to employees and 100,000 were to directors. Included in the amount to employees is an option that was granted to the Company’s President of 1,200,000 shares of Common Stock under the Company’s 2020 Equity Incentive Plan. The option has a five-year term, and an exercise price of $3.60 per share. The foregoing option will vest as follows: (A) 50% in three equal tranches of 200,000 after GCEH’s common stock price has achieved and maintained (i) $10.00 per share for 45 consecutive trading days for tranche one; (ii) after tranche one has vested, $15.00 per share for 45 consecutive trading days for tranche two; and (iii) after tranche two has vested, $20.00 per share for 45 consecutive trading days, for tranche three; and (B) 50% will vest in equal quarterly installments on the last day of each of the next 12 quarters beginning on September 30, 2022.

For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, the Company recognized stock compensation expenses related to stock option awards of $737,000 and $194,000, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, the Company recognized stock compensation expenses related to stock option awards of $1,545,000 and $450,000, respectively. The Company recognizes all stock-based compensation in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2022, there was approximately $1,264,000 of unrecognized compensation cost related to service-based option awards that will be recognized over the remaining service period of approximately 2.1years, and there was approximately $1.2 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to market-based stock option awards that will be recognized over the remaining derived service period of 2.3 years.

The Company previously granted stock options that were not issued under the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan or 2020 Plan. All of such options that were issued outside of the 2010 and 2020 Plans are fully vested, and 16 million options that were awarded to two of GCEH’s executive officers had a market capitalization vesting arrangement, 500,000 options were issued to a consultant that had a transaction success arrangement, and 1,175,714 options were awarded to an executive officer that had a merit arrangement and 200,000 options were issued to two directors that were time based. A summary of the option award activity in 2022 and awards outstanding at September 30, 2022 (includes 50,000, 17,845,714 and 4,287,308 options under the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan, the non-plan and the 2020 Plan, respectively) is as follows:

As a result of issuing new immediately-vested warrants and modifying existing outstanding warrants to ExxonMobil in exchange for increasing the committed volumes of renewable diesel and extending the term of the agreement by an additional six months under the existing Product Offtake Agreement on August 5, 2022, the Company concluded these warrants represent consideration payable to a customer in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company valued this consideration in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, and the following assumptions:

Expected Term (in Years)	6.4
Volatility	65-115	%
Risk Free Rate	2.89	%
Dividend Yield	0

This amount was determined to be $15.6 million and is reflected initially as a Contract asset - related party on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and will be amortized over the term of the underlying contract as the Company satisfies its performance obligations. There was no amortization for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company issued warrants to investors that invested $3.1 million in a private transaction in April 2021 to purchase 19,840 shares of common stock. The warrants have an exercise price of $6.25 per share, a five-year term and are fully vested. If the warrants are exercised, the Company will receive additional proceeds of $124,000.

NOTE I – INCOME TAXES

The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 is 0.2% and 0.0%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 is 0.0% and 0.0%, respectively. The primary drivers for the differences in the rates from the prior-year period to the current-year period is the acquisition of an entity in a foreign jurisdiction in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Provision for income taxes consists of U.S. and state income taxes and income taxes in certain foreign jurisdictions in which the Company conducts business. The Company is in an overall deferred tax asset position in the U.S. and maintains its valuation allowance for certain federal and state tax jurisdictions as existing deferred tax liabilities do not provide sufficient future taxable income to realize the full benefit of its deferred tax assets.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company did not record any material interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

The Company files tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and in multiple state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations for years before 2019 and is no longer subject to state, local and foreign income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2018. The Company is currently not under audit by any jurisdictions.

NOTE J – ACQUISITIONS

In April 2021, the Company acquired Agribody Technologies, Inc., (“ATI”) a private agricultural biotechnology company. The transaction was accomplished by acquiring a 100% controlling interest in ATI in an all-stock transaction for a total fair value of approximately $5 million. In consideration for the shares of ATI, the Company issued 830,526 shares of common stock at an approximate fair value of $6.02 per share. The primary reason for the combination was to leverage the expertise of ATI to speed the development of novel camelina varieties for SusOils. The Company hired the CEO/Co-founder of ATI and will continue to monetize the pre-acquisition ATI revenue contracts.

In November 2021, the Company acquired Entira, Incorporated, an agriculture business and marketing consulting firm (“Entira”), to bolster SusOils’ camelina production strategy and the roll-out of its camelina development program. As consideration for the purchase of Entira, the Company issued a total of 407,150 unregistered shares of common stock, which were valued at $6.05 per share and assumed liabilities for a total purchase price of approximately $2.5 million. In addition, the Company issued 71,850 unregistered shares to certain employees as post acquisition compensation. Entira had been engaged as a consulting firm to GCEH for over 10 years and had extensive knowledge of our camelina development program. The Company hired five people from Entira to join our team. Entira has been integrated into SusOils.

In December 2021 the Company acquired Camelina Company Espana, S.L., a private limited company (“CCE”). Based in Madrid, Spain, CCE is Europe’s largest camelina crop innovator and seed producer. The Company acquired CCE for a total purchase price of €7.3 million (approximately $8.3 million USD at that time), which price was paid by the delivery of (i) €0.7 million ($0.8 million USD) in cash, (ii) €0.7 million ($0.8 million USD) in one-year, unsecured interest-free promissory notes, and (iii) 1,353,951 unregistered shares of our common stock, valued at $4.957 per share, or an aggregate of €5.9 million ($6.7 million USD). In addition, the Company issued 67,314 unregistered shares to certain employees as post acquisition compensation. CCE will lead our initiatives to expand our camelina operations into Europe and South America.

GCEH acquired goodwill in each of the acquisitions it completed in 2021 for a total of $10.3 million. This goodwill represents the acquired assembled workforce and synergies and none of this goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.

The Company had no acquisitions during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE K – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Engineering, Procurement and Construction Contract

On April 30, 2020, GCE Acquisitions entered into an Engineering, Procurement and Construction Agreement with a national engineering firm pursuant to which this firm agreed to provide services for the engineering, procurement, construction, (“EPC”) start-up and testing of the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery. The agreement, which was assigned by GCE Acquisitions to BKRF OCB, LLC, the borrower under the Senior Credit Facility, provides for this engineering firm to be paid on a cost-plus fee basis subject to a guaranteed maximum price of $201.4 million, subject to increase for approved change orders. As of May 17, 2021, the remaining balance of the contract was approximately $151 million. On May 19, 2021 we notified our original EPC firm that we were terminating the EPC Agreement, effective immediately. The cumulative billing on the EPC contract through June 30, 2021 was $63.2 million. The two major subcontracts for the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery were not terminated and were subsumed in the new replacement EPC agreement (see below). Accordingly, the two major subcontractors have continued to provide their services for the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery.

On May 18, 2021 our BKRF subsidiary and CTCI Americas, Inc., a Texas corporation (“CTCI”), entered into a Turnkey Agreement with a guaranteed maximum price for the Engineering, Procurement and Construction of the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Project (the “CTCI EPC Agreement”). CTCI Americas is a worldwide leading provider of reliable engineering, procurement and construction services, including for the refinery market. Under the CTCI EPC Agreement, CTCI has agreed to provide services to complete the engineering, procurement, construction, pre-commissioning, commissioning, start-up and testing of our renewable diesel production facility under construction in Bakersfield, California. The guaranteed maximum price under the CTCI EPC Agreement, comprising CTCI’s fees and costs, including direct costs, overhead fees and the contractor’s fee is $178 million. Costs associated with change orders and project delays could, in certain circumstances, require us to pay more than the guaranteed maximum price. The maximum amount of any such payments is uncertain as a result of a number of variable inputs, including the nature and scope of any change order, and the specific circumstances giving rise to the delay. The obligations of CTCI have been guaranteed by CTCI Corporation, the Taiwanese parent company of CTCI.

Environmental Remediation Liabilities

In connection with the acquisition, BKRF OCB, LLC agreed to undertake certain clean-up activities at the refinery and provide a guarantee for liabilities arising from the clean-up. The Company has assumed significant environmental and clean-up liabilities associated with the purchase of the Bakersfield refinery.

The Company recognizes its asset retirement obligation and environmental remediation liabilities and has estimated such liabilities as of its acquisition date. It is the Company’s policy to accrue environmental and clean-up related costs of a non-capital nature when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Environmental remediation liabilities represent the current estimated costs to investigate and remediate contamination at our properties. This estimate is based on internal and third-party assessments of the extent of the contamination, the selected remediation technology and review of applicable environmental regulations, typically considering estimated activities and costs for 20 years, and up to 30 years if a longer period is believed reasonably necessary. Accruals for estimated costs from environmental remediation obligations generally are recognized no later than completion of the remedial feasibility study and include, but are not limited to, costs to perform remedial actions and costs of machinery and equipment that are dedicated to the remedial actions and that do not have an alternative use. Such accruals are adjusted as further information develops or circumstances change. We discount environmental remediation liabilities to their present value if payments are fixed and determinable. However, as the timing and amount of these costs were undeterminable as of September 30, 2022, these costs have not been discounted. Expenditures for equipment necessary for environmental issues relating to ongoing operations are capitalized. Changes in laws and regulations and actual remediation expenses compared to historical experience could significantly impact our results of operations and financial position. We believe the estimates selected, in each instance, represent our best estimate of future outcomes, but the actual outcomes could differ from the estimates selected. At September 30, 2022, accrued environmental remediation liability costs totaled $20.5 million of which $4.2 million have been classified as current liabilities. As of September 30, 2021, accrued environmental liabilities totaled $21.1 million of which $1.3 million have been classified as current liabilities.

Leases

We recognize a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and lease liability for each operating and finance lease with a contractual term greater than 12 months at the time of lease inception. We include ROU assets and lease liabilities for leases that exist within other contracts. Leases with an original term of 12 months or less are not recognized on the balance sheet, and the rent expense related to those short-term leases is recognized over the lease term. We do not account for lease and non-lease (e.g. common area maintenance) components of contracts separately for any underlying asset class.

We lease certain manufacturing equipment, warehouses, office space, and vehicles under finance and operating leases. Lease commencement occurs on the date we take possession or control of the property or equipment. Original terms for our real estate-related leases are generally between three and five years. Original terms for equipment-related leases, primarily manufacturing equipment and vehicles, are generally between one and ten years. Some of our leases also include rental escalation clauses. Renewal options are included in the determination of lease payments when management determines the options are reasonably certain of exercise, considering financial performance, strategic importance and/or invested capital.

If readily determinable, the rate implicit in the lease is used to discount lease payments to present value; however, substantially all of our leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate. When the implicit rate is not determinable, our estimated incremental borrowing rate is utilized, determined on a collateralized basis, to discount lease payments based on information available at lease commencement.

Total lease costs recorded include fixed operating lease costs and variable lease costs. Most of our real estate leases require payment of certain expenses, such as common area maintenance costs, of which the fixed portion is included in operating lease costs. We recognize operating lease costs on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In addition to the above costs, variable lease costs are recognized when probable and are not included in determining the present value of our lease liability.

The ROU asset is measured at the initial amount of the lease liability (calculated as the present value of lease payments over the term of the lease) adjusted for lease payments made at or before the lease commencement date and initial direct costs. For operating leases, ROU assets are reduced over the lease term by the recognized straight-line lease expense less the amount of accretion of the lease liability determined using the effective interest method. For finance leases, ROU assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the useful life of the leased asset or the lease term. Interest expense on each finance lease liability is recognized utilizing the effective interest method. ROU assets are tested for impairment in the same manner as long-lived assets and we determined there have been no triggering events for impairment. Additionally, we monitor for events or changes in circumstances that may require a reassessment of one of our leases and determine if a remeasurement is required.

In September 2022, the Company reassessed the terms of the finance lease agreement for a building in Great Falls, Montana. The Company determined that it was no longer reasonably certain that the purchase option would be exercised within the term of the lease due to cash needs in other areas of the SusOils business. Therefore, the Company has changed the lease classification from a finance lease to an operating lease and reclassed and remeasured the building asset to a right-of-use asset and lease liability

The table below presents the lease-related assets and liabilities recorded on the balance sheet at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

Legal

BKRF, formerly Alon Bakersfield Property, Inc., is one of the parties to an action pending in the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. In June 2019, the jury awarded the plaintiffs approximately $6.7 million against Alon Bakersfield Property, Inc. and Paramount Petroleum Corporation (a parent company of Alon Bakersfield Property, Inc. at the time of the award in 2019). Under the agreements pursuant to which we purchased BKRF, Alon Paramount agreed to assume and be liable for (and to indemnify, defend, and hold BKRF harmless from) this litigation. In addition, Paramount Petroleum Corporation has posted a bond to cover this judgment amount. All legal fees in this matter are being paid by Alon Paramount. As Paramount Petroleum Corporation and the Company are jointly and severally liable for the judgment, and Paramount Petroleum Corporation has agreed to absorb all of the liability and has posted a bond to cover the judgment amount, no loss has been accrued by the Company with respect to this matter. In August 2021, the Ninth Circuit partially remanded the case to the district court to ascertain whether it possesses jurisdiction over the Company. If the district court determines that it lacks jurisdiction, then the claims against the Company will be dismissed.

In August 2020, Wood Warren & Co. Securities, LLC (“Wood Warren”) filed a complaint in the Superior Court of California, Alameda County, against GCEH Acquisitions titled Wood Warren & Co Securities, LLC vs. GCE Holdings Acquisitions, LLC, Case No. RG 20072242, alleging that GCEH Acquisitions breached a consulting agreement with it. Wood Warren alleged damages of $1.2 million plus interest. The Company settled the matter in the second quarter and such amount is not material to the financial statements.

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may face various claims brought by third parties and the Company may, from time to time, make claims or take legal actions to assert the Company’s rights, including intellectual property rights, contractual disputes and other commercial disputes. Any of these claims could subject the Company to litigation. Management believes the outcomes of currently pending claims will not likely have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Indemnities and Guarantees

In addition to the indemnification provisions contained in the Company’s organization documents, the Company generally enters into separate indemnification agreements with the Company’s directors and officers. These agreements require the Company, among other things, to indemnify the director or officer against specified expenses and liabilities, such as attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and settlements, paid by the individual in connection with any action, suit or proceeding arising out of the individual’s status or service as the Company’s directors or officers, other than liabilities arising from willful misconduct or conduct that is knowingly fraudulent or deliberately dishonest, and to advance expenses incurred by the individual in connection with any proceeding against the individual with respect to which the individual may be entitled to indemnification by the Company. The Company also indemnifies its lessor in connection with its facility lease for certain claims arising from the use of the facility. These guarantees and indemnities do not provide for any limitation of the maximum potential future payments the Company could be obligated to make. Historically, the Company has not been obligated nor incurred any payments for these obligations and, therefore, no liabilities have been recorded for these indemnities and guarantees in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

COVID-19

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus diseases (“COVID-19”) was first reported in Wuhan, China. Less than four months later, on March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. The extent of COVID-19’s effect on the Company’s operational and financial performance is ongoing, and in 2020, 2021, and 2022 the Company continues to experience delays in certain products and materials, inflationary impacts and particularly labor force related issues. The Company has implemented strict protocols on its on-site workforce and continues to monitor the potential impacts to its business. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s operations, cash flows, liquidity, and capital resources is highly uncertain, as information continues to evolve with respect to the duration and severity of the virus and its variants. However, based on its experience with the disease to date, the Company expects that the future impacts due to COVID-19 are not likely to be materially disruptive to its ongoing business.

GEO-POLITICAL UNCERTAINTY

The early 2022 invasion of Ukraine by Russia is creating multiple, and likely significant, supply issues, including the use and transport of energy. Natural gas, crude oil, and certain raw materials pricing has increased significantly and are quite volatile, in addition to potential severe supply issues. We require certain feedstocks and energy inputs to be able to generate renewable diesel and other renewable products. The extent of the impact of this major geo-political event and its repercussions are unknown and could have a material impact on our operations, cash flows, liquidity and capital resources. However, once the Bakersfield Renewable Diesel Refinery is operational, we expect that most of the costs of our inputs into our products can be passed on to the buyers of our products.

Overview

Global Clean Energy Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, herein the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a vertically integrated renewable fuels innovator, producing ultra-low carbon renewable fuels from patented nonfood camelina varieties. Our aim is to address the industry-wide renewable fuel feedstock transition away from food-based sources, while developing sustainable renewable fuels that accelerate the global push to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Since 2013, our principal focus has been on the development of our proprietary varieties of camelina sativa (camelina), a fallow land rotation crop, as a biofuels feedstock. In 2020, we acquired a 510-acre crude oil refinery in Bakersfield, California, that we are converting into a dedicated renewable diesel refinery (the “Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery”).

Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery. Since the purchase of an oil refinery in Bakersfield in May of 2020, the Company has been focused on the retooling and converting the oil refinery into a state-of-the-art renewable fuels refinery. The Company’s long-term goal is to utilize 100% camelina oil as the feedstock for the renewable diesel and other fuels produced at the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery. The retooling of the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery is ongoing and the refinery is expected to commence operations in the first half of 2023. Various scheduling issues experienced to date with our lead contractor and other factors beyond our control have delayed the completion of the project into 2023. While we are confident that we will commence operations by July 1, 2023, there can be no assurance that operations will commence by then. The conversion of the refinery has been delayed primarily due to supply chain issues, engineering, procurement and construction issues with our principal contractor, including lack of timely scheduling, untimely change order estimations, delay in ordering certain materials and unanticipated turnover of personnel to fully handle the workstreams of the project. We also experienced inefficiencies and delays from contracted engineering firms and supply chain issues related to the general lack of personnel and specialty firms to perform required material fabrication and the necessity of performing work that was not originally anticipated or budgeted.

Our revenues from the refinery will commence with commercial operations. Through September 30, 2022, we have invested approximately $600 million in the acquisition and retooling of the renewable fuels refinery.

Camelina Development and Activities. A key element of our business plan is to control the development and production of the underlying base materials, or feedstock, required to produce renewable diesel at the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery. Our goal is to use the oil produced from our proprietary varieties of enhanced camelina as the feedstock of the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery. Initially, we will use soybean oil and other feedstocks for the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery until we have adequate supply of camelina oil. The ongoing drought in Montana has limited the amount of acreage of camelina being cultivated in Montana this year. In addition, the on-going conflict in Ukraine has significantly increased the input costs of farming, including the cost of growing camelina, and has resulted in volatile agricultural commodity prices. As a result, the total North America camelina acreage under cultivation will be significantly lower in 2022 than projected. Revenues from seed sales and camelina meal and oil are likely to be immaterial in 2022, but are expected to grow substantially in future years.

To supplement our efforts to improve our proprietary varieties of camelina, develop our North America grower network, and expand our operations internationally, we acquired three companies in 2021 - Agribody Technologies, Inc. on April 15, 2021, Entira, Inc. on November 17, 2021, and Camelina Company Espana, S.L. on December 29, 2021. On a combined basis, these companies provide us with additional patents, know-how, experience and access to additional growth opportunities. We are integrating these newly acquired assets into our overall business strategy. One of our key strategies is to accelerate camelina grain production in North America and elsewhere. Accordingly, we are currently pursuing identified camelina opportunities in South America where large scale grain and soybean farming is prevalent.

Operational Outlook. Our transition to profitability is dependent upon, among other things, the future commercialization of the renewable fuel products that we intend to produce at the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery. In order to ensure that we have a buyer for the renewable diesel produced at our renewable refinery, we have entered into the Offtake Agreement with ExxonMobil under which, pursuant to a recent amendment, ExxonMobil has agreed to purchase a minimum of 135 million gallons per year of renewable diesel from the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery for a period of 60 months following the date that the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery commences commercial operations, and 67.5 million gallons of renewable diesel for the final six month period of the initial term (for a total of 742.5 million gallons during the initial 66 month term). The price of the renewable diesel to be sold under the Offtake Agreement is based on a combination of a fixed price and a variable price. We have also entered into the Term Purchase Agreement with ExxonMobil under which ExxonMobil has the right to purchase the additional renewable diesel that is not sold to ExxonMobil under the Offtake Agreement. Until such time as the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery is fully operational and is producing renewable fuel products, we expect that we will need to raise additional debt or equity financing (See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below). There can be no assurances, however, that we will be able to obtain sufficient additional funds when needed, or that such funds, if available, will be obtained on terms satisfactory to the Company.

Once completed, the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery will be able to produce renewable diesel from various renewable feedstocks, such as camelina oil produced from our patented camelina varieties, soybean oil, used cooking oil, inedible animal fat, and other vegetable oils. We believe that one of our strategic advantages is that a significant portion of the feedstock expected to be used at our renewable refinery will ultimately be camelina oil derived from the camelina grain produced for the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery using our patented camelina varieties. However, we anticipate that we will need additional funding for general corporate purposes, to grow our certified camelina seeds, to enter into agreements with farmers, and to otherwise ramp up the cultivation and production of camelina (See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below). In addition, we will also have to purchase significant amounts of feedstock from which we will produce renewable diesel, which purchase price we may have to pay in advance. Our goal is to fund the foregoing feedstock purchase and production costs through a feedstock supply credit line we expect to obtain from one or more commercial financial institutions. Based on our current camelina production expectations and the projected costs of purchasing feedstock, we expect that we will need to obtain a line of credit for $100 million to $125 million. Any such line of credit is expected to be secured by the feedstock that we purchase and by the accounts receivables generated from our renewable diesel sales.

Critical Accounting Policies and Related Estimates

The critical accounting policies and related estimates used in the preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 included new policies and related estimates for the Series C Preferred Stock, and warrant issuance as discussed below. Other than these new policies and estimates, there have been no substantial changes to our critical accounting policies and related estimates from those previously disclosed in our 2021 Annual Report.

Issuance of Series C Preferred Shares and Warrants - The Company accounted for the Series C Preferred in accordance with ASC 480 as the shares are redeemable for cash upon the occurrence of certain events that are not solely within the control of the Company and after the fifth anniversary of issuance. The Company accounted for the warrants also in accordance with ASC 480 and ASC 815 as the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own stock and are contractually settled in shares. The Company allocated the proceeds from the transaction based on the fair values of each instrument in accordance with ASC 820.

Valuation of Warrants for Contract with Customer - The Company accounted for the valuation of newly issued warrants and the modification of existing warrants to a customer as consideration payable to the customer in accordance with ASC 606.  This amount is reflected initially as a long-term Contract asset - related party on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and will be amortized over the term of the underlying contract as the Company satisfies its performance obligations. The Company valued this consideration in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended September 30, 2022 vs. Three Months Ended September 30, 2021

Revenues. Our Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery is still in the construction phase and based on our current construction plan we believe that the refinery will commence operations in the first half of 2023. Our revenues from the refinery will commence with commercial operations. Accordingly, we had no renewable fuel product revenues in the three months ended September 30, 2022. We started selling a limited amount of our certified camelina seeds to farmers for the production of camelina seed (seed used to produce our proprietary certified camelina) and/or camelina grain (grain to be used to produce renewable fuels at our Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery), which sales and certain advisory fees generated revenues of $0.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to no sales in the three months ended September 30, 2021.

General and Administrative Expenses and Facility Expenses. General and administrative expenses consist of expenses relating to our corporate overhead functions and operations. The majority of our general and administrative expenses are incurred in the operations of the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery. During the three month period ended September 30, 2022, our administrative expenses increased by $3.7 million from $4.6 million to $8.3 million as compared to the three month period ended June 30, 2021 due to higher personnel, share-based compensation and transaction costs. Facility expenses primarily consist of maintenance costs at the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery and expenses normally related to the operations of a refinery. During the three month period ended September 30, 2022, our facility expenses increased by $0.7 million from $3.2 million to $3.9 million as compared to the three month period ended September 30, 2021 and was due primarily to an increase in professional fees and outside services.

Other Income/Expense. Other income/expense was $2.0 million of net expense in the three months ending September 30, 2022 compared to $2.8 million of net expense in the three months ending September 30, 2021. The decrease in expense was due primarily to debt forgiveness and miscellaneous income offset by a $0.4 million increase in the fair value of the Class B Units from $2.9 million to $3.3 million as compared to the three month period ended September 30, 2021, which was driven primarily by market changes that impact the future cash projection eligible for distribution. The value of the Class B Units is expected to fluctuate based on various market conditions and refinery operational estimates and assumptions.

Interest Income/Expense. During the three months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, interest expense was $0.8 million and $0.7 million, respectively. We believe our interest expense will increase significantly in the future once the construction of our Bakersfield Renewable Refinery is completed. The construction period interest is capitalized as part of the cost of the refinery and therefore, does not impact our interest expense currently.

Net losses. We incurred operating losses of $12.5 million and $8.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively, and a net loss of $15.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to a $11.7 million net loss during the three months ended September 30, 2021. Our operating loss increased primarily as a result of the increase in activity related to our retooling of the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery. We expect to incur losses for the remainder of 2022 and into 2023 while our Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery is under construction and, therefore, not operational.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 vs. Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021

Revenues. Our Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery is still in the construction phase and based on our current construction plan we believe that the refinery will commence operations in the first half of 2023. Our revenues from the refinery will commence with commercial operations. Accordingly, we had no renewable fuel product revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2022. We started selling a limited amount of our certified camelina seeds to farmers for the production of camelina seed (seed used to produce our proprietary certified camelina) and/or camelina grain (grain to be used to produce renewable fuels at our Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery), which sales and certain advisory fees generated revenues of $2.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $0.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

General and Administrative Expenses and Facility Expenses. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2022, our administrative expenses increased by $14.3 million from $15.6 million to $29.9 million as compared to the nine month period ended September 30, 2021 due to increased activities, outside services, transaction costs, personnel and share-based compensation at the Bakersfield Renewable Refinery and in our upstream businesses. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2022, our facility expenses increased by $1.4 million from $9.7 million to $11.1 million as compared to the nine month period ended September 30, 2021, and was due primarily to an increase in professional fees and outside services.

-34-

Other Income/Expense. Other income was $16.3 million higher due primarily to the change in fair value of the Class B Units, which was driven primarily by market changes that impact the future cash projection eligible for distribution during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The value of the Class B Units is expected to fluctuate based on various market conditions and refinery operational estimates and assumptions. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company incurred a loss of $4.0 million related to extinguishment of certain debt and benefited from a $4.5 million change in fair value of a warrant commitment liability - the Company had no comparable items in the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Interest Income/Expense. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, interest expense increased by $0.7 million from $2.2 million to $2.9 million as compared to the nine month period ended September 30, 2021 due to outstanding promissory notes, certain short-term financings and a bridge loan.

Net losses. We incurred operating losses of $42.4 million and $26.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively, and a net loss of $34.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to a $34.0 million net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Our operating loss increased primarily as a result of the increase in activity related to our retooling of the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery, higher utility and transaction costs and the expansion and related increased activities in our upstream business. We expect to incur losses for the remainder of 2022 while our Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery is under construction and, therefore, not operational. While our operating loss was higher in the current period, our net loss was lower due to a lower valuation of the obligation related to the Class B Units and a benefit from a change in fair value of the Warrant Commitment Liability.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had approximately $6.8 million and $23.4 million of cash, respectively. Of these amounts, $26 thousand and $20.5 million, respectively, is restricted and can only be spent on the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery. Of the restricted amounts, $14 thousand and $12.5 million as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, is considered long-term and is expected to be capitalized into the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery project. On September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 we had negative working capital of $158.8 million and $81.7 million, respectively. This working capital does not consider the long-term restricted cash identified above. The retooling of the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery is ongoing and the refinery is expected to commence operations in the first half of 2023. Various scheduling issues experienced to date with our lead contractor and other factors beyond our control have delayed the completion of the project into 2023. While we are confident that we will commence operations by July 1, 2023, there can be no assurance that operations will commence by then. Our initial revenues from the refinery will be delayed until such time as we are able to commence commercial operations. In addition, we may incur additional costs as a result of the delays (See Note K - Commitments and Contingencies for more detail on additional costs).

Our primary liquidity consists of cash on hand and available borrowings under our credit facilities, as described below. On August 5, 2022 we secured an additional $60 million under our Senior Credit Facility, which is available to be drawn no later than October 31, 2022, and an additional $16 million allowed as paid in kind interest for the third and fourth quarters of 2022 of interest payments. While we believe that these funds should be adequate to complete the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery, there is no assurance that this will be the case due to contractor delays and numerous other factors beyond our control. Additionally, we require funds for corporate and upstream development activities and expect to raise capital to meet these requirements. While the potential economic impact including inflation, supply chain delays, and increase in energy prices brought on by the current geopolitical developments, including the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the continuing impacts of the coronavirus pandemic are difficult to assess or predict, the significant impact that these developments have had on the global financial markets, agricultural commodity prices and inputs into growing those commodities, on the costs of raw materials we need, and on our own stock trading price, could reduce our ability to access additional capital, which would negatively impact our short-term and longer-term liquidity. Management will continue to explore transactions to maximize available capital, which may include raising additional debt or equity financing, refinancing existing debt, revising our short-term operating plans, reducing anticipated investments in camelina production and in infrastructure improvements, reducing operating expenses, and deferring the timing of payments due for capital expenditures. No assurance can be given that these plans will be successful.

To the extent that we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity securities, our stockholders will experience dilution, and the terms of the newly issued securities could include certain rights that would adversely affect our stockholders’ rights. Furthermore, if these new securities are convertible or are accompanied by the issuance of warrants to purchase shares of our common stock, our current stockholders will experience substantial dilution.

Credit Facilities. BKRF OCB, LLC, our indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, is a party to our secured Senior Credit Facility with the Senior Lenders. As of September 30, 2022, we have borrowed $367.6 million under the Senior Credit Facility and have additional funds available up to an aggregate of $397.6 million. BKRF HCB, LLC, also an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Company, is party to a secured Mezzanine Credit Facility under which the Company, as the primary lender, may fund additional loans of up to an aggregate of $67.4 million. As of February 23, 2022, and the Company had loaned the full $67.4 million to BKRF HCB, LLC. Proceeds from the Senior Credit Facility and the Mezzanine Credit Facility have been, and will continue to be used to fund the pre-operational expenses and the capital costs of the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery.

-35-

The Senior Credit Facility bears interest at the rate of 12.5% per annum, payable quarterly. Principal payments are required to be made under the Senior Credit Facility after the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery has commercial operations. The Senior Credit Facility matures on November 4, 2026. The Senior Lenders also hold Class B Units in BKRF HCB, LLC. The Class B Units represent membership interest in our subsidiary, BKRF HCB, LLC and entitle the holders thereof to preferential cash distributions. The Class B Units will not affect our liquidity until the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery commences operations. However, since the holders of the Class B Units will be entitled to certain priority cumulative cash distributions, if any, that may be made in the future from the operations of the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery, distributions made on behalf of the Class B Units will reduce the amount of distributions that we may be entitled to receive in the future from the operations of the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery. As of August 5, 2022, the upside sharing ratio with respect to the Class B Units was increased from 25% to 35%.

Preferred Stock Offering. On February 23, 2022, we raised $145 million from the sale of shares of our newly created Series C Preferred to ExxonMobil and the Senior Lenders. The net offering proceeds of the Series C Financing (after payment of $9.3 million of offering expenses and other related fees and costs) were allocated as follows: (i) $20 million to repay an outstanding bridge loan from our Senior Lenders, (ii) $77.4 million (which includes $67.4 million funded under the Mezzanine Credit Facility) to fund the construction of the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery, (iii) $18 million for a debt service reserve account, and (iv) the balance for use by us as working capital, including the further development of our camelina feedstock program.

Short Term Commitments. Our original financial commitments during the next twelve months includes a fixed payment obligation that arose from the settlement of a derivative contract that we amended on April 20, 2020, which required us to pay $20.2 million in six equal monthly payments of $3.375 million beginning in May 2022 from the cash generated by the refinery’s operations. Since the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery is not yet operational, effective May 11, 2022 we amended our fixed payment obligation whereby we will begin payments after the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery is operational and generating revenues for a full month, but no later than January 2023. Payments are to be made beginning in the first month at $1.5 million and escalate monthly to approximately $6.2 million in the sixth and final month. The original obligation was $20.3 million and is now $22.8 million.

Long Term Commitments. Our long term commitments include the purchase of certain grades of soybean oil as feedstock for production of renewable diesel at the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery pursuant to a supply agreement, under which the supplier has agreed to supply a maximum volume of 1.2 billion pounds of feedstock over a period of twenty-four months, with such maximum volume being equally allotted between four 6-month segments or periods. The supply agreement may be extended for an additional segment or period to capture any shortfall of purchases during its primary term. A condition to the sale and purchase of the feedstock is the completion and commissioning of the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery, and until such condition has been satisfied the Company has no obligation to purchase such feedstock under the supply agreement.

Commercial Agreements. Our transition to profitability is dependent upon, among other things, the future commercialization of the renewable fuel products that we intend to produce at the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery. In order to ensure that we have a buyer for the renewable diesel produced at our renewable refinery, we have entered into the Offtake Agreement with ExxonMobil under which, pursuant to a recent amendment, ExxonMobil has agreed to purchase a minimum of 135 million gallons per year of renewable diesel from the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery for a period of 60 months following the date that the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery commences commercial operations, and 67.5 million gallons of renewable diesel for the final six month period of the initial term (for a total of 742.5 million gallons during the 66 month initial term). The price of the renewable diesel to be sold under the Offtake Agreement is based on a combination of a fixed price and a variable price. We have also entered into the Term Purchase Agreement with ExxonMobil under which ExxonMobil has the right to purchase the additional renewable diesel that is not sold to ExxonMobil under the Offtake Agreement.

Once completed and operational, the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery will be able to produce renewable diesel from various renewable feedstocks, such as camelina oil produced from our patented camelina varieties, soybean oil, used cooking oil, inedible animal fat, and other vegetable oils. We believe that one of our strategic advantages is that a significant portion of the feedstock expected to be used at our renewable refinery will be camelina oil derived from the camelina grain produced for the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery using our patented camelina varieties. However, we anticipate that we will need additional funding for general corporate purposes, to grow our certified camelina seeds, to enter into agreements with farmers, and to otherwise ramp up the cultivation and production of camelina. In addition, we will also have to purchase significant amounts of feedstock from which we will produce renewable diesel, which purchase price we may have to pay in advance. Our goal is to fund the foregoing feedstock purchase and production costs through a feedstock supply credit line we expect to obtain from one or more commercial financial institutions. Based on our current camelina production expectations and the projected costs of purchasing feedstock, we expect that we will need to obtain a line of credit for $100 million to $125 million, which is permitted by our existing credit agreements. Any such line of credit is expected to be secured by the feedstock that we purchase and by the accounts receivables generated from our renewable diesel sales.

Inflation. During 2020 and 2021, inflation and changing prices have had minimal effect on our continuing operations. However, we have since experienced increases in prices of products, services and the costs of inputs used in our operations (such as the cost of natural gas, utilities, transportation and even labor) throughout our organization. These increases could have a material impact on our operations.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item 3.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Effective controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) are designed to assure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports 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 management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer (the “Certifying Officers”), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

As required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Certifying Officers, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the Certifying Officers have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective because of the material weaknesses described below under “Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.” We are taking the additional remedial steps to address the material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures as set forth below under “Management’s Plan for Remediation of Material Weaknesses.”

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”), as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act.

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

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in ICFR, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Management has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s ICFR as of September 30, 2022. Management based its assessment on the framework set forth in Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) in conjunction with SEC Release No. 33-8810 entitled “Commission Guidance Regarding Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Under Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities and Exchange Commission” (17 CFR PART 241). Because of the material weaknesses described below, management concluded that the Company’s ICFR was not effective as of September 30, 2022:

● Ineffective controls over period-end financial disclosure and reporting processes, including not timely performing certain reconciliations and the completeness and accuracy of those reconciliations, lack of effectiveness of controls over accurate accounting and financial reporting and reviewing the underlying financial statement elements, and lack of approval of adjusting journal entries.

● Insufficient controls around the identification and review of certain technical accounting matters and related entries performed by insufficient staffing of adequate accounting resources and without appropriate technical knowledge and expertise.

● Inadequate segregation of duties in various key processes including the information technology control environment.

● Lack of documentation of policies and procedures and insufficient controls and reviews related to cybersecurity, security access and configuration including user access, and change management around the information technology control environment.

● Have not performed a risk assessment and mapped our accounting processes to control objectives.

Management believes that the material weaknesses initially arose because the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery had minimal controls in place when it was purchased in May 2020, and as of September 30, 2022 the Company had not completed its implementation of all needed internal controls and procedures. The Company is taking measures to remediate these deficiencies.

-37-

The material weaknesses and other matters impacting the Company’s internal controls may cause it to be unable to report its financial information on a timely basis and thereby subject it to adverse regulatory consequences, including sanctions by the SEC or violations of applicable stock exchange or quotation service listing rules. There could also be a negative reaction in the financial markets due to a loss of investor confidence in the Company and the reliability of its financial statements. Confidence in the reliability of the Company’s financial statements may suffer due to the Company’s reporting of material weaknesses in its internal controls over financial reporting. This could materially adversely affect the Company and lead to a decline in the price of its common stock.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm as such attestation is not required for non-accelerated filers such as this company pursuant to applicable SEC rules.

Management’s Plan for Remediation of Material Weaknesses

The Company is in the process of taking, or plans to take, the following actions, and continues to be engaged in, making necessary changes and improvements to its internal control system to address the material weaknesses in ICFR described above. These actions include:

a) The Company is in the process of hiring additional financial and accounting personnel who are experienced in U.S. GAAP financial reporting. The Company is evaluating its accounting personnel to remediate the identified weaknesses;

 b) The Company is implementing more robust financial reporting, accounting and management controls over its accounting and financial reporting functions at all of its facilities. The Company is evaluating its necessary approval controls including approval of adjusting journal entries;

 c) The Company has engaged independent consultants to assist the Company in improving its internal control over financial reporting, as well to assist with technical accounting matters. The Company is evaluating the recommendations put forth by the consultants.

 d) The Company is in the process of performing a risk assessment and mapping our accounting processes to control objectives.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2022 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings 

The information required with respect to this item can be found under “Legal” in Note K to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report Form 10-Q and is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.

In the future, we may become party to legal matters and claims arising in the ordinary course of business, the resolution of which we do not anticipate would have a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

RISK FACTORS

Investment in our stock involves a high degree of risk. The discussion of our business and operations should be read together with the risk factors contained in Item 1A of our Annual Report filed with the SEC.

As of September 30, 2022, there have been no material changes in our assessment of our risk factors from those set forth in our Annual Report, except as described below.

The delay in completing the construction of our Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery has created a need for additional financing, which may not be available on favorable terms, or at all.

The construction of the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery was originally scheduled to be completed in early 2022 but has been delayed. The retooling of the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery is ongoing and the refinery is expected to commence operations in the first half of 2023. Various scheduling issues experienced to date with our lead contractor and other factors beyond our control have delayed the completion of the project into 2023. While we are confident that we will commence operations by July 1, 2023, there can be no assurance that operations will commence by then. Our initial revenues from the refinery will also be delayed until operations commence. We based our operating budgets, and we scheduled our financial commitments on the assumptions that the refinery would generate significant revenues commencing early in 2022. The delay in the completion of the construction and the deferral of revenues has required us to obtain additional capital to fund our operating expenses and our other financial obligations during the period in which we are not generating revenues. On August 5, 2022 we increased our capital available by $60 million under our Senior Credit Facility and amended certain sales agreements to reduce or eliminate any cash shortfall from completion of the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery and subsequent operations. However, there is no assurance that the measures we have enacted to date will be sufficient to fully fund all operations. Furthermore, even if we obtain additional financing or funding, the terms of such additional financing and funding may not be favorable and may negatively affect our future profitability.

The conflict in Ukraine and related price volatility and geopolitical instability could negatively impact our business.

In late February 2022, Russia launched an invasion of Ukraine and created a significant military conflict that has impacted the global commodity and financial markets. The conflict has caused, and could intensify, volatility in the prices and availability of oil, natural gas, feedstocks and other inputs we use to grow camelina and produce renewable fuel products. The extent and duration of the military action, sanctions and resulting market disruptions could be significant and could potentially have a substantial negative impact on the global economy and/or our business for an unknown period of time. The extent of the impact of this major geo-political event and its repercussions are unknown and could have a material impact on our operations, cash flows, liquidity and on our ability to raise additional capital. To the extent that the current conflict between Russia and Ukraine adversely affects our business, it may also have the effect of heightening many other risks disclosed in our Annual Report.

ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

NOTE A — ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Description of Business

Throughout this Quarterly Report, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “our company,” and “the Company” collectively refer to Global Clean Energy Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. References to “GCEH” refer only to Global Clean Energy Holdings, Inc.

GCEH is a Delaware corporation. GCEH currently operates through various U.S. and foreign subsidiaries that are currently wholly-owned. The principal subsidiaries include, among others: (i) Sustainable Oils, Inc., a Delaware corporation that conducts camelina breeding and owns proprietary rights to various camelina varieties and operates our camelina business; (ii) GCE Holdings Acquisitions, LLC and its six Delaware limited liability company subsidiaries that were formed to finance and own, directly or indirectly, our Bakersfield Renewable Fuels, LLC, a Delaware limited liability subsidiary (“BKRF”) that owns a renewable fuels refinery in Bakersfield, California (the “Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery”); (iii) GCE Operating Company, LLC, our subsidiary that operates our Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery, and employs various personnel throughout the Company; (iv) Agribody Technologies, Inc., our Delaware subsidiary that oversees aspects of our plant science programs; and (v) Camelina Company Espana, S.L., our Spanish subsidiary that develops proprietary camelina varieties and leads our business expansion opportunities in Europe and South America.

GCEH is a uniquely positioned, vertically integrated renewable fuels innovator producing ultra-low carbon renewable fuels from patented nonfood camelina varieties. Our farm-to-fuel business model is designed to allow greater efficiencies throughout the value chain, lowering our finished fuels’ carbon intensity and streamlining our operations at every step. Our patented camelina varieties are purposefully bred to increase yield, quicken maturity, and increase tolerance to drought and pests. Today, GCEH owns the world’s largest portfolio of patented camelina genetics, and we contract directly with farmers around the globe to grow our proprietary camelina crop on fallow land. Once online, the 15,000 barrels per day (“BPD”) nameplate Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery will sell up to its full production capacity of the Renewable Diesel (“RD”) produced to ExxonMobil Oil Corporation (“ExxonMobil”), through a pair of long-term supply agreements described below. The production capacity will be limited due to a hydrogen constraint at the refinery, which, based upon feedstock blend, could limit us to processing no more than ~12,000 BPD of feedstock.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of the Company at December 31, 2021, has been derived from audited

consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2022 have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes to the financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all material adjustments (consisting of all normal accruals) necessary to make the condensed consolidated financial statements not misleading as required by Regulation S-X Rule 10-01. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2022 or any future periods.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of GCEH and its subsidiaries, and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. References to the “ASC” hereafter refer to the Accounting Standards Codification established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) as the source of authoritative U.S. GAAP. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Certain reclassifications have been made within the condensed consolidated financial statements for the prior period to conform with current presentation.

LIQUIDITY

NOTE B — LIQUIDITY

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred losses from continuing operations applicable to its common stockholders of $34.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and had an accumulated deficit of $152.5 million at September 30, 2022. At September 30, 2022, the Company had working capital of negative $158.8 million (which includes no current restricted cash) and a stockholders' deficit of $1.4 million. The retooling of the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery is ongoing and the refinery is expected to commence operations in the first half of 2023. Various scheduling issues experienced to date with our lead contractor and other factors beyond our control have delayed the completion of the project into 2023. While we believe that we will commence operations by July 1, 2023, there can be no assurance that operations will commence by then. Revenues from the refinery will commence with commercial operations. The Company’s primary source of liquidity is cash on hand and available borrowings under its credit facilities. However, because of the uncertainty around the cost of change orders to the refinery, the impact of the delayed timing of revenues and cash flows from the refinery arising from a delay in the completion of construction, and the amount and timing of certain credits due to us from CTCI (defined below), we believe that we may need additional capital to fund certain of our liquidity requirements, which includes completion of the refinery, upstream activities, operational and general and administrative costs, and repayment of financial obligations. Because of the uncertainty of the timing of the completion of the refinery and the initial revenues from the refinery, the above conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least one year from the time the financial statements are issued. Management is undertaking, or has undertaken, several initiatives to mitigate the conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

In order to address our short-term liquidity gap, we secured additional capital from the Senior Lenders on August 5, 2022 (up to $60 million in cash and a deferral of approximately $16 million of cash paid for interest until December 31, 2022) to assist the Company to meet its cash requirements to achieve refinery operations. GCEH and/or its subsidiaries will continue to seek various options to raise cash such as utilizing financing leases, the sale or monetization of assets, and joint ventures for its operations and activities as a whole. Management will continue to explore transactions to maximize available capital, which may include raising additional debt or equity financing, refinancing existing debt, revising our short-term operating plans, reducing anticipated investments in camelina production and in infrastructure improvements, reducing operating expenses, and deferring the timing of payments due for capital expenditures. Also in consideration for the upsizing of the Senior Credit Agreement, among other things, certain subsidiaries of the Company agreed to (i) undertake additional capital raises of at least $10 million prior to December 31, 2022, and aggregating to at least $20 million prior to March 31, 2023. Management believes these plans can be effectively implemented and along with the operating cash flows from the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery, when started, will be sufficient to mitigate the circumstances resulting in substantial doubt for a period not less than one year from the date the financial statements are issued.

Financing Agreements

Credit Facilities

BKRF OCB, LLC, an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of GCEH, is a party to a $397.6 million secured term loan facility (the “Senior Credit Facility”), and BKRF HCB, LLC, also an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of GCEH, is party to a $67.4 million intercompany secured term loan facility (the “Mezzanine Credit Facility”) to which GCEH is the lender (see Note F). The purpose of these facilities is to provide cash to facilitate the construction of the refinery.

On August 5, 2022, certain subsidiaries of the Company entered into Amendment No. 9 to the senior secured term loan Credit Agreement to, among other things, increase the Tranche B Commitments thereunder by $60 million to $397.6 million, extend the start date of the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery to March 31, 2023, and implement certain other commercial arrangements as described therein. Existing defaults and potential events of defaults under the Credit Agreement, if any, were also waived by the lenders in connection with the effectiveness of Amendment No. 9. As payment of an amendment and upsize premium, the Company issued to the lenders warrants to purchase up to 7,468,929 shares of the Company’s common stock, exercisable until December 23, 2028 at an exercise price of $2.25 per share. As of September 30, 2022, we have borrowed $367.6 million available under the Senior Credit Facility.

Preferred Stock

On February 23, 2022, we issued 145,000 shares of our newly created Series C Preferred Stock (the “Series C Preferred”) and five-year warrants (the “GCEH Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 18,547,731 shares of our common stock (5,017,008 issued to settle the Warrant Commitment Liability) at an exercise price of $2.25 per share to ExxonMobil Renewables LLC (“ExxonMobil Renewables”), an affiliate of ExxonMobil, and 11 other institutional investors (all of whom are Senior Lenders under our existing Senior Credit Facility) for an aggregate purchase price of $145 million and the settlement of the Warrant Commitment Liability. As additional consideration for ExxonMobil’s investment, we also granted ExxonMobil Renewables additional warrants (the “GCEH Tranche II Warrants”) to purchase up to 6.5 million shares of common stock at an exercise price per share of $3.75 until February 22, 2028, and a warrant to acquire 33% (19,701,493 shares) of our SusOils subsidiary for $33 million ($1.675 per share) until February 22, 2027 (“SusOil Warrant”). On August 5, 2022, the GCEH Tranche II Warrants were amended to an exercise price of $2.25 per share and the exercise period for all of the ExxonMobil warrants were extended to December 23, 2028. Each of the GCEH Warrants, GCEH Tranche II Warrants and SusOil Warrant may be exercised for cash or by means of cashless exercise, however the GCEH Tranche II Warrants cannot be exercised until the earlier of (i) the date on which ExxonMobil extends the term of the five-year Offtake Agreement (as described below), which did occur on August 5, 2022, that we entered into with ExxonMobil effective April 10, 2019 (as amended), or (ii) a change of control, sale, or the dissolution of the Company. On August 5, 2022, the SusOil Warrant was amended to an exercise price of $1 million ($0.0507 per share). Under the Certificate of Designations of the Series C Preferred, the holders of the Series C Preferred are entitled to receive dividends at a rate of 15%, compounded quarterly provided that, until March 31, 2024, we may elect not to pay some or all of the accrued dividends in cash, in which case the unpaid dividends shall accrue and be added to the original issuance price of the shares of Series C Preferred. The shares of Series C Preferred have no voting rights, except as required by law or with respect to certain protective provisions in the Certificate of Designations. For such time as ExxonMobil holds any shares of Series C Preferred, ExxonMobil will have the right, exercisable at its option, to appoint two directors to GCEH’s Board of Directors. If the Series C Preferred shares have not been redeemed prior to the fifth anniversary of issuance, or upon an event of default under the Certificate of Designations, ExxonMobil will have the right to appoint a majority of the Board of Directors. The Certificate of Designations provides that we will have the right, at any time, to redeem/repurchase the outstanding shares of Series C Preferred (in increments of no less than $25 million), for an amount equal to the Corporate Redemption Price (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) at any time the Series C Preferred is outstanding. The Certificate of Designations of the Series C Preferred Stock provides for mandatory redemption upon a Change of Control or Event of Default (as defined therein) and are not convertible into shares of our common stock. GCEH may redeem the Series C Preferred Stock at any time within the first two years at 1.85 times, and the next three years at 2.0 times, the amount of the investment (including any accrued unpaid dividends).

Sales Agreements

In April 2019, the Company entered into a binding Product Offtake Agreement (the “Offtake Agreement”) with ExxonMobil pursuant to which ExxonMobil has committed to purchase 2.5 million barrels per year of renewable diesel annually (the “Committed Volume”) from the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery (including the Renewable Identification Numbers (“RINs”) allocated to such quantities of renewable diesel), and the Company has committed to sell these quantities of renewable diesel to ExxonMobil. ExxonMobil’s obligation to purchase renewable diesel will last for a period of five years following the date that the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery commences commercial operations (“Start Date”). ExxonMobil has the option to extend the initial five-year term. Either party may terminate the Offtake Agreement if the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery does not meet certain production levels by certain milestone dates following the commencement of the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery’s operations or the Start Date has not occurred by the date set forth in the Offtake Agreement for reasons other than force majeure.

In April 2021, BKRF entered into a Term Purchase Agreement (“TPA”) with ExxonMobil under which ExxonMobil has the right to purchase additional quantities of renewable diesel from our Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery, and the Company is obligated to sell such additional amounts of renewable diesel to ExxonMobil. Under the Offtake Agreement, ExxonMobil committed to purchase the Committed Volume from the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery. However, the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery is designed to produce more than the Committed Volume. Under the TPA, following the Start Date, ExxonMobil has the exclusive right to purchase all renewable diesel produced in excess of the Committed Volume that we sell to ExxonMobil under the Offtake Agreement. The Company also agreed to transfer title to ExxonMobil of the RINs allocated to the quantities of renewable diesel purchased under the TPA. In the event that ExxonMobil does not purchase all of the renewable diesel that it can under the TPA and, as a result, our inventory levels exceed certain specified levels, the Company can sell that extra inventory to third parties. The TPA has a five-year term. ExxonMobil has the option to extend the initial five-year term for a second five-year term if it elects to extend the Offtake Agreement.

In connection with the transactions contemplated by Amendment No. 9, the Company also entered into a transaction agreement with ExxonMobil Renewables and ExxonMobil, pursuant to which, among other things, certain subsidiaries of the Company and ExxonMobil entered into amendments to the Company’s Product Off-Take Agreement and Term Purchase Agreement in order to extend the initial terms thereof to 66 months, to increase certain committed volumes under the Product Off-Take Agreement from 105 million gallons per year (“MGPY”) to 135 MGPY, and to implement certain other commercial arrangements between the parties as described therein in exchange for issuing new immediately-vested warrants and modifying existing outstanding warrants (see Note H).

Under both agreements, we retain 100% of the co-products, which include renewable propane, renewable naphtha and renewable butane. In February 2022, our BKRF subsidiary entered into an agreement with AmeriGas Propane (“Amerigas”), a subsidiary of UGI Corporation, whereby Amerigas will purchase the renewable propane produced at the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery up to a certain maximum volume amount, with an option then to acquire any volume in excess of such amount. The first twelve months of renewable propane to be delivered is estimated to be approximately 13 million gallons. The agreement has an initial term of three years, subject to an evergreen provision on an annual basis unless affirmatively terminated by either Party at the end of the initial 3-year term or any subsequent annual extension. The Company is also pursuing sales contracts for renewable naphtha and renewable butane.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTE C - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Restricted Cash

In accordance with the Company’s credit facilities, the Company is required to advance the calculated interest expense on its borrowings at the time of such borrowings to the estimated commercial operational date of the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery. This interest is deposited into a designated account and the appropriate amount is paid to the lenders at the end of each quarter. Additionally, the construction funds are deposited into their own designated account and deposited from that designated account into a BKRF account only upon approval by the lenders to pay for specific construction, facility, and related costs. These two accounts are restricted and not directly accessible by the Company for general use, although these funds are assets of the Company. The Company estimates how much of this cash is likely to be capitalized into the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery project in the form of a long-term asset, and classifies this amount as long-term. The Company makes this determination based on its budget, recent and near-term invoicing, and internal projections.

Cash and Cash Equivalents; Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments maturing in six months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents at high quality financial institutions. However, deposits exceed the federally insured limits. At September 30, 2022, the Company had approximately $5.3 million in uninsured cash.

Foreign Currency Translation

Our Spanish subsidiary uses the Euro as its functional currency. Assets and liabilities are translated using exchange rates at the balance sheet dates, and revenues and expenses are translated at weighted average rates. Adjustments from the translation process are recognized in stockholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). During the three months ended September 30, 2022 the Company recognized income of $156 thousand and had no comparable foreign translation income or loss for the three months September 30, 2021. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized income of $170 thousand and had no comparable foreign translation income or loss adjustments in the nine months ended September 30, 2021

Inventories

Inventories currently consist of Camelina seeds, grain, meal, and oil. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined based on standard cost. On March 31, 2022, the Company recognized a loss in the amount of $319 thousand due to inventories being adjusted to the lower of cost or net realizable value. There were no lower of cost or net realizable value adjustments made to the inventory values reported as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation of office equipment and transportation equipment are computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of 3 to 5 years. Refinery assets and buildings are depreciated using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of 5 to 25 years. However, the refinery will not begin to be depreciated until its retrofitting has been completed and it is ready for operations. Normal maintenance and repair items are charged to operating costs and are expensed as incurred. The cost and accumulated depreciation of property, plant and equipment sold or otherwise retired are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss on disposition is reflected in the statements of operations. Interest on borrowings related to the retrofitting of the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery is being capitalized, which will continue until the refinery is placed in service. During the three months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, interest of $14.9 million and $8.8 million, respectively, was capitalized and is included in property, plant and equipment, net. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, interest of $38.0 million and $21.5 million, respectively, was capitalized and is included in property, plant and equipment, net, for a total of $78.3 million of capitalized interest for the project.

Long-lived Assets

In accordance with U.S. GAAP for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, the carrying values of intangible assets and other long-lived assets are reviewed on a regular basis for the existence of facts or circumstances that may suggest impairment. The Company recognizes impairment when the aggregate of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. Impairment losses, if any, are measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its estimated fair value. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, there were no impairment losses recognized on long-lived assets.

-12-

Goodwill and Indefinite Lived Assets

The Company’s indefinite lived assets consist of goodwill and trade names. Goodwill represents the excess of the fair value of consideration over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is allocated at the date of the business combination. Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for impairment annually on December 31 of each year or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the asset may be impaired. We have one reporting unit. The first step in our annual goodwill assessment is to perform the optional qualitative assessment allowed by ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other” (“ASC 350”). In our qualitative assessment, we evaluate relevant events or circumstances to determine whether it is more likely than not (i.e., greater than 50%) that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If we determine that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, ASC 350 requires us to compare the fair value of such reporting unit to its carrying value including goodwill. The other indefinite lived assets were separately identified intangible assets apart from goodwill. These separately identified assets with indefinite lives are not amortized and instead are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate a likely impairment.

Debt Issuance Costs

Debt issuance costs primarily relate to financing to fund the costs of retrofitting the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery and are amortized over the term of the loan as interest under the effective interest method; however, as such interest primarily relates to retrofitting of the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery, these costs are being capitalized as part of the refinery until it is placed in service. The amortization of the debt issuance costs that are not capitalized are recorded as interest expense. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, unamortized debt issuance costs related to the Senior Credit Facility and Bridge Loan (see Note F) are classified as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of each credit facility; however, at December 31, 2021 unamortized debt issuance costs related to the Mezzanine Credit Facility (as defined below) are presented on the balance sheet as an asset as there had not been any borrowings on the Mezzanine Credit Facility. Effective as of February 23, 2022, the Mezzanine Credit Facility was assigned to and fully funded by GCEH, and as a result, the unamortized debt issuance costs of $3.9 million related to the Mezzanine Credit Facility was recorded as a loss on debt extinguishment in the nine months ended September 30, 2022. During the three months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021 there were no losses on debt extinguishment. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 there were no losses on debt extinguishment. See Note F - Debt for more detail on the financing.

Accrued Liabilities

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, accrued liabilities consists of:

	As of September 30, 2022		As of December 31, 2021
Accrued compensation and related liabilities	$	4,915,407	$	3,818,701
Accrued interest payable		2,066,486		1,857,343
Accrued construction costs		120,137,628		27,045,738
Other accrued liabilities		4,476,533		3,677,671
Current portion of asset retirement obligations		4,404,256		2,530,000
Current portion of environmental liabilities		4,246,760		1,339,550
	$	140,247,070	$	40,269,003

The Company has recorded amounts for services performed and invoiced from its EPC contractor through September 30, 2022 in accrued construction costs.

Asset Retirement Obligations

The Company recognizes liabilities which represent the fair value of a legal obligation to perform asset retirement activities, including those that are conditional on a future event, when the amount can be reasonably estimated. If a reasonable estimate cannot be made at the time the liability is incurred, we record the liability when sufficient information is available to estimate the liability’s fair value. We have asset retirement obligations with respect to our Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery due to various legal obligations to clean and/or dispose of these assets at the time they are retired. However, the majority of these assets can be used for extended and indeterminate periods of time provided that they are properly maintained and/or upgraded. It is our practice and intent to continue to maintain these assets and make improvements based on technological advances. In order to determine the fair value of the obligations, management must make certain estimates and assumptions including, among other things, projected cash flows, timing of such cash flows, a credit-adjusted risk-free rate and an assessment of market conditions that could significantly impact the estimated fair value of the asset retirement obligations. We believe the estimates selected, in each instance, represent our best estimate of future outcomes, but the actual outcomes could differ from the estimates selected.

We estimate our escalation rate at 3.33% and our discount factor ranges from 3.62% in year one to 7.26% in year twenty, with the weighted average discount rate being 5.0%. See Note K - Commitments and Contingencies for more detail on environmental liabilities, which are accounted for separately from asset retirement obligations.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the changes in asset retirement obligations for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021.

	Nine months ended September 30, 2022			Year ended December 31, 2021
Asset retirement obligations - beginning of period	$	20,191,429		$	21,478,977
Disbursements		(262,494	)		(2,265,557	)
Accretion		687,135			978,009
Asset retirement obligations - end of period	$	20,616,070		$	20,191,429

The amounts shown as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 include $4.4 million and $2.5 million, respectively, which have been classified as current liabilities and included in accrued liabilities and $16.2 million and $17.7 million which have been classified as long term liabilities as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Advances to Contractors

Upon the acquisition of the Bakersfield Biorefinery, the Company advanced $20.1 million to its primary construction contractor for invoices to be billed against the Guaranteed Maximum Price for the Engineering, Procurement and Construction (“EPC”) of the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Project contract (“G-Max Contract”). These funds are credited against future invoices in accordance with an agreed schedule. In May 2021 we replaced our former contractor and entered into a new G-Max Contract with a new contractor. As of September 30, 2021, the $20.1 million advanced to the initial primary construction contractor has been reduced to zero and a new advance has been made to the new primary construction contractor in the amount of $17.8 million. The amount of $17.8 million has been fully utilized against progress billings as of September 30, 2022, resulting in $0.0 reflected as advances to contractor. As of December 31, 2021 advances to contractor were $10.0 million.

Income Taxes

The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and the carryforward of operating losses and tax credits, and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance against deferred tax assets is recorded when it is more likely than not that such tax benefits will not be realized. Assets and liabilities are established for uncertain tax positions taken or positions expected to be taken in income tax returns when such positions are judged to not meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold based on the technical merits of the positions. Estimated interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions are included as a component of general and administrative expense. The Company has recorded a 100% valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue From Contracts With Customers, using the following five-step model: (1) identify the contract with the customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue. The Company is engaged in contracting with farmers to grow camelina grain that will be processed into oil for use in Bakersfield Biorefinery. The Company recognizes revenues upon the sale of its patented camelina seed to the farmers and also for the crushed camelina meal that it plans to sell to third party livestock and poultry operators. The Company recognized in the three months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021 $0.9 million and $0.0 million in revenue, respectively. The Company recognized in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021 $2.1 million and $0.2 million in revenue, respectively. Based upon the Company’s Product Offtake Agreement (see Note B - Liquidity), the Company expects to begin recognizing revenue from the sale of renewable diesel upon the start-up of the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery and upon such time the Company delivers on its performance obligations.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are charged to operating expenses when incurred, which were nominal for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021.

Fair Value Measurements and Fair Value of Financial Instruments

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the carrying amounts of the Company's financial instruments that are not reported at fair value in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, including cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the carrying amounts of the Company's financial instruments that are not reported at fair value in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, including the convertible note payable to the executive officer approximate their fair value due to the recent amendments that reflect current market conditions. The Class B Units, issued by BKRF HCB, LLC, are reported at fair value. Additionally, as further described below, the Company recognized a liability for a warrant commitment to its Senior Lenders at December 31, 2021 as part of a debt modification included in its executed Amendment No. 6 to its Senior Credit Facility, which is reported at fair value. The Senior Credit Facility is a long-term fixed rate debt instrument which has a carrying amount that is approximately at fair value based on a comparison of recently completed market transactions.

U.S. GAAP specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company's market assumptions. These two types of inputs have created the following fair-value hierarchy:

Level 1— Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;

Level 2— Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and

Level 3— Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

On December 20, 2021, the Company executed Amendment No. 6 to the Senior Credit Facility whereby the Company agreed to issue warrants covering 5,017,008 shares of common stock of GCEH at an exercise price to be determined based on a market pricing mechanism, which was $2.25 per share, upon the completion of the Series C Preferred Stock financing (“Series C Financing”) for a term of five years from that date (the “Warrant Commitment Liability”) (See Note B). The Warrant Commitment Liability was in consideration for (i) the 1%, or $4.1 million, consent premium payable from an earlier amendment to the Senior and Mezzanine Credit Facilities, (ii) the Bridge Loan, and (iii) as additional creditor fees for forbearance to the Senior Lenders and Mezzanine Lenders. Such creditor fees were recorded as additional debt discount. The Company recognized a Warrant Commitment Liability as a freestanding instrument that is classified as a liability under ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities From Equity”, as the commitment to issue the warrants represents a variable share settlement where the warrants to be issued to the Senior Lenders vary based on occurrence of the February 23, 2022 issuance of Series C Preferred and GCEH Warrants (see Note B). This Warrant Commitment Liability was initially recognized at fair value and was measured at fair value at each reporting date until it was settled with changes in fair value recognized in earnings in other income (expense). This Warrant Commitment Liability was settled on February 23, 2022 as part of the issuance of the Company’s warrants for 5,017,008 shares of common stock of GCEH to the Senior Lenders.

The following is the recorded fair value of the Class B Units as of September 30, 2022:

	Carrying Value		Total Fair Value		Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets - Level 1		Significant other observable inputs - Level 2		Significant unobservable inputs - Level 3
Liabilities
Class B Units	$	14,859,000	$	14,859,000	$	-	$	-	$	14,859,000

The following is the recorded fair value of the Class B Units and the Warrant Commitment Liability as of December 31, 2021:

Estimates

Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and reported revenues and expenses. Significant estimates used in preparing these financial statements include (a) valuation of common stock, warrants, and stock options, (b) estimated useful lives of equipment and intangible assets, (c) the estimated costs to remediate or clean-up the refinery site, and the inflation rate, credit-adjusted risk-free rate and timing of payments to calculate the asset retirement obligations, (d) the estimated costs to remediate or clean-up identified environmental liabilities, (e) the estimated future cash flows, which are adjusted for current market conditions and various operational revisions, and the various metrics required to establish a reasonable estimate of the value of the Class B Units and the Warrant Commitment Liability issued to the Company’s lenders under the Senior Credit Facility, and (f) the fair value of the consideration for acquisitions and the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. It is reasonably possible that the significant estimates used will change within the next year.

Income/Loss per Common Share

Income/Loss per share amounts are computed by dividing income or loss applicable to the common stockholders of the Company by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted income or loss per share amounts are computed assuming the issuance of common stock for potentially dilutive common stock equivalents. The number of dilutive warrants, options, and convertible notes and accrued interest is computed using the treasury stock method, whereby the dilutive effect is reduced by the number of treasury shares the Company could purchase with the proceeds from exercises of warrants and options.

The following table presents instruments that were potentially dilutive for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021 that were excluded from diluted earnings per share as they would have been anti-dilutive:

	Three months ended September 30, 2022		Three months ended September 30, 2021		Nine months ended September 30, 2022		Nine months ended September 30, 2021

Stock options and warrants		52,726,566		18,374,358		42,683,424		17,733,374

Stock Based Compensation

The Company recognizes compensation expense for stock-based awards expected to vest on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award based on their grant date fair value. However, in the case of awards with accelerated vesting, the amount of compensation expense recognized at any date will be based upon the portion of the award that is vested at that date. The Company estimates the fair value of service-based stock options using a Black-Scholes option pricing model which requires management to make estimates for certain assumptions regarding risk-free interest rate, expected life of options, expected volatility of stock and expected dividend yield of stock. During April 2022, the Company issued 600,000 of market-based equity incentive options to an officer. There were no other market-based equity incentive options issued during 2021 or 2022. As these market-based options vest after the Company's common stock price has achieved a specified price per share as compared to the service-based stock options previously described that vest over the requisite service period, these options were valued and estimated using a Monte-Carlo simulation under a risk-neutral framework and the fair value was determined to be equal to the average value over 100,000 model iterations. Forfeitures are accounted for as incurred.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), which reduces the complexity of the accounting for convertible debt instruments and its effect on earnings per share calculation. The guidance reduces the number of accounting models used for convertible debt instruments, which will result in fewer embedded conversion features being recognized separately from the original contract. This will also affect the guidance associated with convertible debt for earnings-per-share by requiring the if-converted method rather than the treasury stock method, requiring that potential share settlement be included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share and clarifying that an entity should use the weighted-average share count from each quarter when calculating the year-to-date weighted-average share count. For public business entities, the amendments in ASU 2020-06 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those years, and early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those years. The Company formally elected to early-adopt ASU 2020-06 as of January 1, 2022. As the Company did not have any instruments subject to the changes provided in ASU 2020-06 prior to January 1, 2022, there was no material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers ("ASU 2021-08"), which updates the guidance related to the acquisition of revenue contracts in a business combination. The new guidance requires that the acquiring entity recognize and measure contract assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606. At the acquisition date the acquirer should recognize the contract assets and liabilities under Topic 606 as they would have been recognized at contract origination rather than at fair value at the time of the acquisition. The intent is to create more comparability of recognition and measurement of the acquired contracts in business combinations. For public business entities, the amendments in ASU 2021-08 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is evaluating the impact of the guidance on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10, Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance ("ASU 2021-10"), which requires business entities to provide certain disclosures when they (1) have received government assistance and (2) use a grant or contribution accounting model by analogy to other accounting guidance. The guidance will require business entities to disclose the nature of the transactions, accounting policies used to account for the transactions, and state which line items on the balance sheet and income statement are affected by these transactions and the amount applicable to each financial statement line. Business entities will also have to disclose significant terms and conditions of transactions with a government such as the duration of the agreement, any commitments made by either side, provisions, and contingencies. The guidance in ASU 2021-10 is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company adopted ASU 2021-10 on January 1, 2022, and there was no material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date of issuance of the condensed consolidated financial statements. Where applicable, the notes to these condensed consolidated financial statements have been updated to discuss all significant subsequent events which have occurred. See Note L for a description of events occurring subsequent to September 30, 2022 not included elsewhere in these condensed consolidated financial statements.

Senior Credit Facility and Bridge Loan:

On May 4, 2020, BKRF OCB, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of GCEH, entered into the Senior Credit Facility with a group of lenders (the “Senior Lenders”) pursuant to which the Senior Lenders agreed to provide a $300.0 million senior secured term loan facility to BKRF OCB to pay the costs of retooling the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery. Through various amendments, the commitments under the Senior Credit Facility have subsequently been increased to $397.6 million. As of September 30, 2022, we have borrowed $367.6 million under the Senior Credit Facility and subsequent to September 30, 2022, we have borrowed the remaining $30 million available under the Senior Credit Facility. Outstanding term loans under the Senior Credit Facility bear interest at the rate of 12.5% per annum, payable quarterly, provided that the borrower may defer up to 2.5% interest to the extent it does not have sufficient cash to pay the interest, which the deferred interest was increased up to 3.5% effective February 23, 2022, and under Amendment No. 9 effective August 5, 2022, the deferred interest can be the full 12.5% interest for the third and fourth quarters of 2022. The Company deferred the full interest payment of $11.8 million in the quarter ending September 30, 2022 for a total outstanding amount of $393.3 million as of September 30, 2022. The principal of the senior loans matures in November 2026, provided that BKRF OCB, LLC must offer to prepay the senior loans with any proceeds of such asset dispositions, borrowings other than permitted borrowings, proceeds from damage or losses at the refinery, and excess net cash flow. BKRF OCB, LLC may also prepay the senior loans in whole or in part with the payment of a prepayment premium. As additional consideration for the senior loans, the Senior Lenders are issued Class B Units in BKRF HCP, LLC, an indirect parent company of BKRF OCB, LLC, as the Company draws on the Senior Credit Facility. The fair value of the Class B Units are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently re-measured at fair value each reporting period with changes recognized in earnings. The Class B Units are discussed further below.

On March 26, 2021, Amendment No. 3 to the Senior Credit Facility was made effective to more accurately reflect the updated scope and cost estimates of the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery and to establish a contingency reserve account to fund the costs of the additional capabilities and equipment and to fund possible cost overruns. Concurrently, Consent No. 2 and Amendment No. 2 to the Senior Credit Facility were made effective, which, among other things, established a consent premium equal to 1.00% of the aggregate commitments (“Consent Premium”), to be paid in the form of equity or cash to the Lenders, subject to whether the Company raises capital of $35 million prior to July 31, 2021. The Consent Premium was paid in connection with the consummation of the Series C Financing on February 23, 2022, as described below.

On May 19, 2021, Amendment No. 4 to the Senior Credit Facility was made effective to replace the Engineering, Procurement and Construction Agreement dated April 30, 2020 with ARB, Inc. (the “ARB EPC Agreement”), effective immediately with a Engineering, Procurement and Construction Agreement with CTCI Americas, Inc. (the “CTCI EPC Agreement”). The subcontracts for the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery will remain in effect and are being subsumed in the CTCI EPC Agreement. Accordingly, the subcontractors will continue to provide their services for the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery through CTCI.

On July 29, 2021, Amendment No. 5 to the Senior Credit Facility was made effective to increase the amount of funding available under the Senior Credit Facility by $4.4 million, to $317.6 million. In addition, under Amendment No. 4 and Amendment No. 5, the parties agreed to change the date by which the borrowers under the two credit agreements (the Company’s BKRF OCB, LLC and BKRF HCB, LLC subsidiaries) had to establish an additional cash contingency reserve of at least $35 million from July 31, 2021 to September 15, 2021. Further, with respect to the Consent Premium established on March 26, 2021, Amendment No. 5 constituted that the Consent Premium will be payable by the Company issuing warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. The warrants were to be issued on the earlier of September 15, 2021 or the closing of an equity raise in which the Company sells at least $10 million of its common stock.

The Company subsequently received a waiver extending equity raise target date to November 19, 2021 and again in November 2021, based on further discussion with Senior Lenders, was waived until the December 20, 2021 amendment discussed below.

On December 20, 2021, Amendment No. 6 to Senior Credit Facility was made effective, which, among other things, increased the amount of funding available under the Senior Credit Facility by $20.0 million to $337.6 million and to provide a new Bridge Loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $20.0 million. The Bridge Loan bore interest at the rate of 12.5% per annum and had a stated maturity date of January 31, 2022. The Bridge Loan was paid in full on February 23, 2022 in connection with the Series C Financing. In connection with Amendment No. 6 to the Senior Credit Facility, GCEH committed to the Senior Lenders to issue warrants covering 5,017,008 shares of common stock of GCEH at an exercise price to be determined based on a market pricing mechanism upon the completion of the Series C Financing for a term of five years from that date. These warrants were issued on February 23, 2022 in connection with the consummation of the Series C Financing, and were issued in consideration for (i) the Consent Premium payable from an earlier amendment to the Senior and Mezzanine Credit Facilities, (ii) the Bridge Loan, and (iii) as additional creditor fees for forbearance to the Senior Lenders and Mezzanine Lenders.

Also on December 20, 2021, the Company entered into Forbearance and Conditional Waiver Agreement and Consent No. 5, Forbearance and Conditional Waiver Agreement. Under the respective forbearance agreements, the Senior Lenders agreed to forbear from exercising their rights and remedies under the Senior Credit Facility, the Mezzanine Credit Agreement, and the related Financing Documents with respect to all Defaults and Events of Default thereunder. Such Defaults and Events of Default were waived upon the consummation of the Series C Financing and the payment of a cash equity contribution to the senior borrower of $115 million.

On January 7, 2022, the Company borrowed an incremental $8.0 million on the Bridge Loan, and the total outstanding at that time was $20.0 million.

On February 2, 2022, Amendment No. 7 to Senior Credit Facility was made effective, which, among other things, extended the forbearance period and each respective deadline to satisfy the conditions precedent for the conditional waivers to become permanent waivers were extended from January 31, 2022 to February 23, 2022. Additionally, the maturity date of the Bridge Loan was extended from January 31, 2022 to February 23, 2022 and was fully paid on February 23, 2022.

On February 23, 2022, Amendment No. 8 to the Senior Credit Facility modified a previous provision whereby the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery needs to achieve Substantial Completion, as defined under the Senior Credit Facility, no later than August 31, 2022, or an event of default occurs and the Senior Lenders have the right to accelerate the loan for immediate payment of all principal and interest accrued to that date. The amendment also requires a quarterly principal prepayment amount to achieve an agreed-upon end-of-quarter targeted debt balance designed to meet the full payment of the Senior Credit Facility by November 4, 2026. The Company is only obligated to pay this quarterly principal amount to achieve these targeted debt balances to the extent there is available cash under the specific calculations required in the Senior Credit Facility. The full amount of the loan matures and is due on November 4, 2026. Additionally, the $35 million reserve requirement from Amendment No. 3 was eliminated by Amendment No. 8 in conjunction with the Series C Preferred Financing.

Effective as of February 23, 2022, the Senior Credit Facility was further amended to permit the Loan Parties to defer up to 3.50% per annum of the interest until the earlier of September 30, 2022 or the final completion of the retooling of the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery, with all deferred interest being added to principal. In addition, effective as of February 23, 2022, the parties agreed to various amendments to the representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default in the senior loan facility, including (i) the Company’s loan subsidiaries may enter into working capital facilities in an amount of up to $125 million without the Senior Lenders’ consent, and the Company agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts to enter into a permitted working capital facility on or before June 30, 2022; (ii) the retooling of the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery must be substantially complete by August 31, 2022 (subject to extension for up to 90 days as described above); and (iii) the final completion of the retooling of the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery must be achieved by January 31, 2023.

On August 5, 2022, certain subsidiaries of the Company entered into Amendment No. 9 to the Senior Credit Facility to, among other things, increase the Tranche B Commitments thereunder by $60 million to $397.6 million, extend the commercial operation date of the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery to March 31, 2023, and implement certain other commercial arrangements as described therein. Existing defaults and potential events of defaults under the Senior Credit Facility, if any, were also waived by the lenders in connection with the effectiveness of Amendment No. 9. The Company’s loan subsidiaries may enter into working capital facilities in an amount of up to $125 million without the Senior Lenders’ consent, and the Company agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts to enter into a permitted working capital facility on or before October 1, 2022 with a 90-day extension based on the start-up of the refinery; (ii) the retooling of the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery must be substantially complete by March 31, 2023 (subject to extension for up to 90 days as described above); and (iii) the final completion of the retooling of the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery must be achieved within six m months of the substantially complete date. The Company has deferred 100% of its cash interest payment due on September 30, 2022 and expects it will also defer 100% of its cash interest payment due on December 31, 2022, as such payments are allowed under the paid in kind provisions of the Senior Credit Facility.

Mezzanine Credit Facility

On May 4, 2020, BKRF HCB, LLC, the indirect parent of BKRF OCB, LLC, entered into a Mezzanine Credit Facility with a group of Mezzanine Lenders who agreed to provide a $65 million secured term loan facility to be used to pay the costs of repurposing and starting up the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery. Subsequently, the Mezzanine Credit Facility was increased to $67.4 million. In connection with the Series C Financing, on February 23, 2022 the Mezzanine Credit Facility was assigned to, and assumed by GCEH and the Mezzanine Lenders have no further rights to the Mezzanine Credit Facility.

Fixed Payment Obligation

The Company amended a derivative forward contract during the quarter ended March 31, 2020, with the counterparty. The amendment terminated the derivative forward contract and replaced it with a fixed payment obligation. Under the terms of the fixed payment obligation, the Company agreed to pay the counterparty a total of $23.1 million, which included a payment of $5.5 million in April 2020, and six equal installment payments in 2022 totaling $17.6 million. Under the subsequent revised terms of the fixed payment obligation in April 2020, the Company agreed to pay the counterparty a total of $24.8 million, which included a payment of $4.5 million in June 2020 (which was paid), and six equal monthly installment payments beginning in May 2022 for a total of $20.3 million. For financial reporting purposes, the fixed payment obligation has been recorded at the present value of future payments, using a discount rate of 14.8%. Effective May 11, 2022, the Company agreed with the counterparty to amend the payment structure whereby the Company will begin making payments beginning one month after the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery begins operations and generates revenues, but no later than January 2023. The total amount of payments has been increased to $22.8 million and will start at $1.5 million in the first month and escalate monthly to approximately $6.2 million at the sixth month which will be the final payment.

Other Notes Payable

Included in “Other notes” as of September 30, 2022, in the above table, is a note, that is due upon demand related to the Company’s business activities prior to 2019, in the principal amount of $1.3 million and an interest rate of 18% per annum. Also included in ”Other notes” above, is a note payable that was used to finance the Company’s insurance policies. Upon the acquisition of the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery in May 2020, the Company purchased numerous insurance contracts to cover its corporate, ownership and construction risks primarily to provide financial protection against various risks and to satisfy certain lender requirements. The Company paid 35% of the total premiums and financed the balance at 3.8% annual interest rate. The Company was obligated to make seventeen equal monthly payments totaling approximately $4.5 million beginning in July 2020, which have now been fully paid. The insurance policies cover various periods from 12 to 60 months beginning in May 2020. At various times in 2022, the Company entered into new insurance policies to replace the policies that were expiring and to insure for additional identified risks. The Company has financed several policies at finance rates of 4.9% to 5.15% and at various percentages of down payments with payments of varying monthly lengths. The Company expects that it will continue to finance certain policy premiums.

In March 2021, we entered into a promissory note with MUFG Union Bank, N.A. (“Union Bank”) effective March 29, 2021, that provided for a loan in the amount of $0.6 million (the “PPP Loan”) pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) established under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). The PPP Loan was subject to forgiveness under the PPP upon our request to the extent that the proceeds were used to pay expenses permitted by the PPP, including payroll costs, covered rent and mortgage obligations, and covered utility payments. The PPP Loan, which is included in "Other notes" above, was to mature on March 29, 2026, five years from the commencement date and bore interest at a rate of 1% per annum. In December 2021, the Company submitted an application for forgiveness of the entire $0.6 million due on the PPP Loan and as of September 20, 2022 the PPP Loan had been forgiven in full.

Convertible Note Payable to Executive Officer

On October 16, 2018, Richard Palmer, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and President, entered into a new employment agreement with the Company and concurrently agreed to defer $1 million of his accrued unpaid salary and bonus for two years. In order to evidence the deferral, the Company and Mr. Palmer entered into a $1 million convertible promissory note (the “Convertible Note”). The Convertible Note accrues simple interest on the outstanding principal balance of the note at the annual rate of five percent (5%) and became due and payable on October 15, 2020, its maturity date. Under its existing credit agreements, the Company is restricted from repaying Mr. Palmer’s loan and, accordingly, was in default under the Convertible Note. The Company accrued interest expense of $50,000 on this note in the year ended December 31, 2021. The Company had recorded accrued interest payable of approximately $180,000 and $160,000 as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 respectively. Under the Convertible Note, Mr. Palmer has the right, exercisable at any time until the Convertible Note is fully paid, to convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal balance and accrued and unpaid interest into shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.154 per share. On February 23, 2022, the Company amended Mr. Palmer's note to extend the term to the later of February 23, 2024 or upon the redemption of the Series C Preferred shares. The convertible note will bear interest at 5% per annum beginning as of February 23, 2022 and the total number of shares that the note can be converted into is a maximum of 7,616,305.

Convertible Notes Payable

The Company had several notes that were convertible into shares of the Company or the Company’s subsidiaries at different prices: ranging from $0.30 per share into the Company’s stock and up to $1.48 per share into SusOils’s common stock. These notes have passed their original maturity date and they continue to accrue interest at varying rates, from 8% to 10%. On March 26, 2021, we issued 1,586,786 shares of the Company’s common stock to the holder of a convertible promissory note upon the conversion of the entire outstanding balance, principal and accrued interest, for that note. During June 2021, the Company paid the remaining notes and the accrued interest either by an agreed cash settlement or through the issuance of common shares at an agreed price of $5.75 per share. As of September 30, 2022, there are no remaining convertible notes payable to third parties.

The following table summarizes the minimum required payments of notes payable and long-term debt as of September 30, 2022:

Class B Units

As described above, the Company has issued 367.6 million Class B Units of its subsidiary, BKRF OCB, LLC to its Senior Lenders as of September 30, 2022. To the extent that there is distributable cash, the Company is obligated to make certain distribution payments to holders of Class B Units, and after the distributions reach a certain limit the units will no longer require further distributions and will be considered fully redeemed. The Class B unit holders may receive a portion of the distributable cash, as defined under the Senior Credit Facility, available to BKRF HCB, LLC, but generally only up to 25% of the available cash after the required interest and principal payments, operating expenses and ongoing capital requirements have been paid. On August 5, 2022, this percentage was increased from 25% to 35% of defined distributable cash. Such payments commence once the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery begins operations and will continue through the later of five years after operations of the refinery begins or until the cumulative distributions reach a certain threshold defined in the operating agreement of BKRF HCB, LLC. The aggregate total payments (including distributions to the Class B Units, all interest and principal payments) to the Senior Lenders cannot exceed two times the amount of the borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility, or approximately $735.2 million. The aggregate fair value of such units on the date of their issuances totaled approximately $16.5 million which were recorded as debt discount. The aggregate fair value of the earned units as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was approximately $14.9 million and $21.6 million, respectively. It is expected that the fair value will fluctuate depending on market inputs that impact the projected distributable cash. The fair value is largely based on the present value of the expected distributions that will be made to the Class B Unit holders, which consider various risk factors, including a market risk premium, project size, projected volumes and pricing, the continuation of the Blenders Tax Credit, the uniqueness and age of the refinery, the volatility of the feedstock and refinery inputs, operational costs, environmental costs and compliance, effective tax rates, illiquidity of the units, and the timing of the cash flows to the unit holders. The value assumes the completion of the refinery during the first half of 2023, annual volatility of 105.0% and a risk free rate of 3.84%. The value was derived by utilizing a Monte Carlo Simulation and taking the average over 100,000 iterations.

The Class B Units meet the definition of a mandatorily redeemable financial instrument under ASC 480 because BKRF HCB, LLC has an unconditional obligation to redeem the Class B Units by transferring assets at a specified time. Pursuant to ASC 825-10, the Company has elected the fair value option for the Class B Units. Accordingly, at each borrowing the Company will initially recognize the Class B Unit liability based on the issuance date fair value with an offset to the discount on the Senior Credit Facility. The Company measures their Class B Units at fair value at each reporting date with changes recognized in other income/expense.

STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

NOTE G - STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Common stock

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company issued no shares and 310,500 shares of its common stock, respectively, upon the exercise of stock options. These option exercises consisted of 50,000, 160,000 and 100,500 shares issued to a member of the board of directors, consultants and employees, respectively.

On April 21, 2022 and May 15, 2022, the Company issued 50,000 shares each of its common stock upon the exercise of stock options by two executive officers.

Series B Convertible Preferred Stock

On November 6, 2007, the Company sold a total of 13,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B Shares”) to two investors for an aggregate purchase price of $1.3 million, less offering costs of $9,265. Each share of the Series B Shares has a stated value of $100.

The Series B Shares were convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock. As of June 30, 2021, the two holders of the shares of preferred stock tendered notices of conversion, and all of the outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock were converted into 1,181,819 shares of the Company’s common stock. As a result, effective as of June 30, 2021, the Company had no outstanding Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.

Series C Preferred Stock

On February 23, 2022, the Company completed a private placement of an aggregate of 145,000 preferred shares (125,000 and 20,000 shares to ExxonMobil Renewables, an affiliate of ExxonMobil, and the Senior Lenders, respectively) of Series C Preferred Stock and warrants exercisable to purchase an aggregate of 18,547,731 (5,017,008 issued to settle the Warrant Commitment Liability to the Senior Lenders - see Note B) shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $2.25 per share to ExxonMobil Renewables, and 11 other institutional investors (all of whom are also lenders under our existing Senior Credit Facility) respectively, for an aggregate purchase price of $145 million and the settlement of the Warrant Commitment Liability (see Note B). As a result of the difference between the $20 million received by the Company from the Senior Lenders for the purchase of the Series C Preferred Stock and the fair value of the Series C Preferred Stock, the Company recorded a $9.9 million deemed contribution from the Senior Lenders to Additional paid-in Capital.

For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we did not declare or pay cash distributions to the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock. Included in the carrying value of the Series C preferred Stock was the amount of the cumulative, declared dividends of $5.8 million and $13.5 million, along with the accretion of $1.8 million and $3.5 million for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2022 respectively. These amounts are recorded as a reduction to Additional Paid-in Capital for the respective periods.

STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS

NOTE H – STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS

2020 Equity Incentive Plan

In April 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the Global Clean Energy Holdings, Inc. 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”) wherein 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were reserved for issuance thereunder. Options and awards granted to new or existing officers, directors, employees, and non-employees vest ratably over a period as individually approved by the Board of Directors generally over three years, but not in all cases. The 2020 Plan provides for a three-month exercise period of vested options upon termination of service. The exercise price of options granted under the 2020 Plan is equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Options issued under the 2020 Plan have a maximum term of ten years for exercise and may be exercised with cash consideration or through a cashless exercise in which the holder forfeits a portion of the award in exchange for shares of common stock of the remaining portion of the award. As of September 30, 2022, there were 2,450,010 shares available for future option grants under the 2020 Plan.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company granted stock options for the purchase of a total of 3,081,203 shares of Common Stock under the 2020 Plan, of which 2,981,203 were to employees and 100,000 were to directors. Included in the amount to employees is an option that was granted to the Company’s President of 1,200,000 shares of Common Stock under the Company’s 2020 Equity Incentive Plan. The option has a five-year term, and an exercise price of $3.60 per share. The foregoing option will vest as follows: (A) 50% in three equal tranches of 200,000 after GCEH’s common stock price has achieved and maintained (i) $10.00 per share for 45 consecutive trading days for tranche one; (ii) after tranche one has vested, $15.00 per share for 45 consecutive trading days for tranche two; and (iii) after tranche two has vested, $20.00 per share for 45 consecutive trading days, for tranche three; and (B) 50% will vest in equal quarterly installments on the last day of each of the next 12 quarters beginning on September 30, 2022.

For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, the Company recognized stock compensation expenses related to stock option awards of $737,000 and $194,000, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, the Company recognized stock compensation expenses related to stock option awards of $1,545,000 and $450,000, respectively. The Company recognizes all stock-based compensation in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2022, there was approximately $1,264,000 of unrecognized compensation cost related to service-based option awards that will be recognized over the remaining service period of approximately 2.1years, and there was approximately $1.2 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to market-based stock option awards that will be recognized over the remaining derived service period of 2.3 years.

The Company previously granted stock options that were not issued under the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan or 2020 Plan. All of such options that were issued outside of the 2010 and 2020 Plans are fully vested, and 16 million options that were awarded to two of GCEH’s executive officers had a market capitalization vesting arrangement, 500,000 options were issued to a consultant that had a transaction success arrangement, and 1,175,714 options were awarded to an executive officer that had a merit arrangement and 200,000 options were issued to two directors that were time based. A summary of the option award activity in 2022 and awards outstanding at September 30, 2022 (includes 50,000, 17,845,714 and 4,287,308 options under the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan, the non-plan and the 2020 Plan, respectively) is as follows:

Stock Purchase Warrants and Call Option

On February 23, 2022 the Company issued five-year warrants to our Senior Lenders and investors in our Series C Preferred for an aggregate of 18,547,731 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $2.25 per share until February 22, 2027. In August 2022, the exercise date was amended to December 28, 2028. If these warrants are exercised, the Company will receive additional proceeds of $41.7 million. Separately the Company issued the GCEH Tranche II Warrant (which allows for the purchase of up to 6.5 million shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $3.75 per share until February 22, 2028) and a warrant to purchase 33% (19,701,493 shares) of our SusOils subsidiary for an exercise price of $1.675 per share until February 27, 2027. In August 2022, the GCEH Tranche II Warrant was amended to an exercise price of $2.25 per share and the SusOils warrant exercise price was reduced to $0.05076 per share, and the terms for both warrants were extended to December 28, 2028. If these warrants are exercised for cash, the Company will receive an additional $14.6 million and $1 million, respectively. There were new warrants issued in August. The Senior Lenders received warrants to purchase 7,468,929 shares of common stock, exercisable until December 23, 2028 at an exercise price of $2.25. ExxonMobil Renewables received 2,489,643 warrants on the same terms. If these warrants are exercised for cash, the Company will receive an additional $22.4 million.

As a result of issuing new immediately-vested warrants and modifying existing outstanding warrants to ExxonMobil in exchange for increasing the committed volumes of renewable diesel and extending the term of the agreement by an additional six months under the existing Product Offtake Agreement on August 5, 2022, the Company concluded these warrants represent consideration payable to a customer in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company valued this consideration in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, and the following assumptions:

Expected Term (in Years)	6.4
Volatility	65-115	%
Risk Free Rate	2.89	%
Dividend Yield	0

This amount was determined to be $15.6 million and is reflected initially as a Contract asset - related party on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and will be amortized over the term of the underlying contract as the Company satisfies its performance obligations. There was no amortization for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company issued warrants to investors that invested $3.1 million in a private transaction in April 2021 to purchase 19,840 shares of common stock. The warrants have an exercise price of $6.25 per share, a five-year term and are fully vested. If the warrants are exercised, the Company will receive additional proceeds of $124,000.

INCOME TAXES

NOTE I – INCOME TAXES

The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 is 0.2% and 0.0%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 is 0.0% and 0.0%, respectively. The primary drivers for the differences in the rates from the prior-year period to the current-year period is the acquisition of an entity in a foreign jurisdiction in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Provision for income taxes consists of U.S. and state income taxes and income taxes in certain foreign jurisdictions in which the Company conducts business. The Company is in an overall deferred tax asset position in the U.S. and maintains its valuation allowance for certain federal and state tax jurisdictions as existing deferred tax liabilities do not provide sufficient future taxable income to realize the full benefit of its deferred tax assets.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company did not record any material interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

The Company files tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and in multiple state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations for years before 2019 and is no longer subject to state, local and foreign income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2018. The Company is currently not under audit by any jurisdictions.

ACQUISITIONS

NOTE J – ACQUISITIONS

In April 2021, the Company acquired Agribody Technologies, Inc., (“ATI”) a private agricultural biotechnology company. The transaction was accomplished by acquiring a 100% controlling interest in ATI in an all-stock transaction for a total fair value of approximately $5 million. In consideration for the shares of ATI, the Company issued 830,526 shares of common stock at an approximate fair value of $6.02 per share. The primary reason for the combination was to leverage the expertise of ATI to speed the development of novel camelina varieties for SusOils. The Company hired the CEO/Co-founder of ATI and will continue to monetize the pre-acquisition ATI revenue contracts.

In November 2021, the Company acquired Entira, Incorporated, an agriculture business and marketing consulting firm (“Entira”), to bolster SusOils’ camelina production strategy and the roll-out of its camelina development program. As consideration for the purchase of Entira, the Company issued a total of 407,150 unregistered shares of common stock, which were valued at $6.05 per share and assumed liabilities for a total purchase price of approximately $2.5 million. In addition, the Company issued 71,850 unregistered shares to certain employees as post acquisition compensation. Entira had been engaged as a consulting firm to GCEH for over 10 years and had extensive knowledge of our camelina development program. The Company hired five people from Entira to join our team. Entira has been integrated into SusOils.

In December 2021 the Company acquired Camelina Company Espana, S.L., a private limited company (“CCE”). Based in Madrid, Spain, CCE is Europe’s largest camelina crop innovator and seed producer. The Company acquired CCE for a total purchase price of €7.3 million (approximately $8.3 million USD at that time), which price was paid by the delivery of (i) €0.7 million ($0.8 million USD) in cash, (ii) €0.7 million ($0.8 million USD) in one-year, unsecured interest-free promissory notes, and (iii) 1,353,951 unregistered shares of our common stock, valued at $4.957 per share, or an aggregate of €5.9 million ($6.7 million USD). In addition, the Company issued 67,314 unregistered shares to certain employees as post acquisition compensation. CCE will lead our initiatives to expand our camelina operations into Europe and South America.

GCEH acquired goodwill in each of the acquisitions it completed in 2021 for a total of $10.3 million. This goodwill represents the acquired assembled workforce and synergies and none of this goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.

The Company had no acquisitions during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

NOTE K – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Engineering, Procurement and Construction Contract

On April 30, 2020, GCE Acquisitions entered into an Engineering, Procurement and Construction Agreement with a national engineering firm pursuant to which this firm agreed to provide services for the engineering, procurement, construction, (“EPC”) start-up and testing of the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery. The agreement, which was assigned by GCE Acquisitions to BKRF OCB, LLC, the borrower under the Senior Credit Facility, provides for this engineering firm to be paid on a cost-plus fee basis subject to a guaranteed maximum price of $201.4 million, subject to increase for approved change orders. As of May 17, 2021, the remaining balance of the contract was approximately $151 million. On May 19, 2021 we notified our original EPC firm that we were terminating the EPC Agreement, effective immediately. The cumulative billing on the EPC contract through June 30, 2021 was $63.2 million. The two major subcontracts for the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery were not terminated and were subsumed in the new replacement EPC agreement (see below). Accordingly, the two major subcontractors have continued to provide their services for the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery.

On May 18, 2021 our BKRF subsidiary and CTCI Americas, Inc., a Texas corporation (“CTCI”), entered into a Turnkey Agreement with a guaranteed maximum price for the Engineering, Procurement and Construction of the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Project (the “CTCI EPC Agreement”). CTCI Americas is a worldwide leading provider of reliable engineering, procurement and construction services, including for the refinery market. Under the CTCI EPC Agreement, CTCI has agreed to provide services to complete the engineering, procurement, construction, pre-commissioning, commissioning, start-up and testing of our renewable diesel production facility under construction in Bakersfield, California. The guaranteed maximum price under the CTCI EPC Agreement, comprising CTCI’s fees and costs, including direct costs, overhead fees and the contractor’s fee is $178 million. Costs associated with change orders and project delays could, in certain circumstances, require us to pay more than the guaranteed maximum price. The maximum amount of any such payments is uncertain as a result of a number of variable inputs, including the nature and scope of any change order, and the specific circumstances giving rise to the delay. The obligations of CTCI have been guaranteed by CTCI Corporation, the Taiwanese parent company of CTCI.

Environmental Remediation Liabilities

In connection with the acquisition, BKRF OCB, LLC agreed to undertake certain clean-up activities at the refinery and provide a guarantee for liabilities arising from the clean-up. The Company has assumed significant environmental and clean-up liabilities associated with the purchase of the Bakersfield refinery.

The Company recognizes its asset retirement obligation and environmental remediation liabilities and has estimated such liabilities as of its acquisition date. It is the Company’s policy to accrue environmental and clean-up related costs of a non-capital nature when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Environmental remediation liabilities represent the current estimated costs to investigate and remediate contamination at our properties. This estimate is based on internal and third-party assessments of the extent of the contamination, the selected remediation technology and review of applicable environmental regulations, typically considering estimated activities and costs for 20 years, and up to 30 years if a longer period is believed reasonably necessary. Accruals for estimated costs from environmental remediation obligations generally are recognized no later than completion of the remedial feasibility study and include, but are not limited to, costs to perform remedial actions and costs of machinery and equipment that are dedicated to the remedial actions and that do not have an alternative use. Such accruals are adjusted as further information develops or circumstances change. We discount environmental remediation liabilities to their present value if payments are fixed and determinable. However, as the timing and amount of these costs were undeterminable as of September 30, 2022, these costs have not been discounted. Expenditures for equipment necessary for environmental issues relating to ongoing operations are capitalized. Changes in laws and regulations and actual remediation expenses compared to historical experience could significantly impact our results of operations and financial position. We believe the estimates selected, in each instance, represent our best estimate of future outcomes, but the actual outcomes could differ from the estimates selected. At September 30, 2022, accrued environmental remediation liability costs totaled $20.5 million of which $4.2 million have been classified as current liabilities. As of September 30, 2021, accrued environmental liabilities totaled $21.1 million of which $1.3 million have been classified as current liabilities.

Leases

We recognize a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and lease liability for each operating and finance lease with a contractual term greater than 12 months at the time of lease inception. We include ROU assets and lease liabilities for leases that exist within other contracts. Leases with an original term of 12 months or less are not recognized on the balance sheet, and the rent expense related to those short-term leases is recognized over the lease term. We do not account for lease and non-lease (e.g. common area maintenance) components of contracts separately for any underlying asset class.

We lease certain manufacturing equipment, warehouses, office space, and vehicles under finance and operating leases. Lease commencement occurs on the date we take possession or control of the property or equipment. Original terms for our real estate-related leases are generally between three and five years. Original terms for equipment-related leases, primarily manufacturing equipment and vehicles, are generally between one and ten years. Some of our leases also include rental escalation clauses. Renewal options are included in the determination of lease payments when management determines the options are reasonably certain of exercise, considering financial performance, strategic importance and/or invested capital.

If readily determinable, the rate implicit in the lease is used to discount lease payments to present value; however, substantially all of our leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate. When the implicit rate is not determinable, our estimated incremental borrowing rate is utilized, determined on a collateralized basis, to discount lease payments based on information available at lease commencement.

Total lease costs recorded include fixed operating lease costs and variable lease costs. Most of our real estate leases require payment of certain expenses, such as common area maintenance costs, of which the fixed portion is included in operating lease costs. We recognize operating lease costs on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In addition to the above costs, variable lease costs are recognized when probable and are not included in determining the present value of our lease liability.

The ROU asset is measured at the initial amount of the lease liability (calculated as the present value of lease payments over the term of the lease) adjusted for lease payments made at or before the lease commencement date and initial direct costs. For operating leases, ROU assets are reduced over the lease term by the recognized straight-line lease expense less the amount of accretion of the lease liability determined using the effective interest method. For finance leases, ROU assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the useful life of the leased asset or the lease term. Interest expense on each finance lease liability is recognized utilizing the effective interest method. ROU assets are tested for impairment in the same manner as long-lived assets and we determined there have been no triggering events for impairment. Additionally, we monitor for events or changes in circumstances that may require a reassessment of one of our leases and determine if a remeasurement is required.

In September 2022, the Company reassessed the terms of the finance lease agreement for a building in Great Falls, Montana. The Company determined that it was no longer reasonably certain that the purchase option would be exercised within the term of the lease due to cash needs in other areas of the SusOils business. Therefore, the Company has changed the lease classification from a finance lease to an operating lease and reclassed and remeasured the building asset to a right-of-use asset and lease liability

The table below presents the lease-related assets and liabilities recorded on the balance sheet at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

Legal

BKRF, formerly Alon Bakersfield Property, Inc., is one of the parties to an action pending in the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. In June 2019, the jury awarded the plaintiffs approximately $6.7 million against Alon Bakersfield Property, Inc. and Paramount Petroleum Corporation (a parent company of Alon Bakersfield Property, Inc. at the time of the award in 2019). Under the agreements pursuant to which we purchased BKRF, Alon Paramount agreed to assume and be liable for (and to indemnify, defend, and hold BKRF harmless from) this litigation. In addition, Paramount Petroleum Corporation has posted a bond to cover this judgment amount. All legal fees in this matter are being paid by Alon Paramount. As Paramount Petroleum Corporation and the Company are jointly and severally liable for the judgment, and Paramount Petroleum Corporation has agreed to absorb all of the liability and has posted a bond to cover the judgment amount, no loss has been accrued by the Company with respect to this matter. In August 2021, the Ninth Circuit partially remanded the case to the district court to ascertain whether it possesses jurisdiction over the Company. If the district court determines that it lacks jurisdiction, then the claims against the Company will be dismissed.

In August 2020, Wood Warren & Co. Securities, LLC (“Wood Warren”) filed a complaint in the Superior Court of California, Alameda County, against GCEH Acquisitions titled Wood Warren & Co Securities, LLC vs. GCE Holdings Acquisitions, LLC, Case No. RG 20072242, alleging that GCEH Acquisitions breached a consulting agreement with it. Wood Warren alleged damages of $1.2 million plus interest. The Company settled the matter in the second quarter and such amount is not material to the financial statements.

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may face various claims brought by third parties and the Company may, from time to time, make claims or take legal actions to assert the Company’s rights, including intellectual property rights, contractual disputes and other commercial disputes. Any of these claims could subject the Company to litigation. Management believes the outcomes of currently pending claims will not likely have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Indemnities and Guarantees

In addition to the indemnification provisions contained in the Company’s organization documents, the Company generally enters into separate indemnification agreements with the Company’s directors and officers. These agreements require the Company, among other things, to indemnify the director or officer against specified expenses and liabilities, such as attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and settlements, paid by the individual in connection with any action, suit or proceeding arising out of the individual’s status or service as the Company’s directors or officers, other than liabilities arising from willful misconduct or conduct that is knowingly fraudulent or deliberately dishonest, and to advance expenses incurred by the individual in connection with any proceeding against the individual with respect to which the individual may be entitled to indemnification by the Company. The Company also indemnifies its lessor in connection with its facility lease for certain claims arising from the use of the facility. These guarantees and indemnities do not provide for any limitation of the maximum potential future payments the Company could be obligated to make. Historically, the Company has not been obligated nor incurred any payments for these obligations and, therefore, no liabilities have been recorded for these indemnities and guarantees in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

COVID-19

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus diseases (“COVID-19”) was first reported in Wuhan, China. Less than four months later, on March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. The extent of COVID-19’s effect on the Company’s operational and financial performance is ongoing, and in 2020, 2021, and 2022 the Company continues to experience delays in certain products and materials, inflationary impacts and particularly labor force related issues. The Company has implemented strict protocols on its on-site workforce and continues to monitor the potential impacts to its business. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s operations, cash flows, liquidity, and capital resources is highly uncertain, as information continues to evolve with respect to the duration and severity of the virus and its variants. However, based on its experience with the disease to date, the Company expects that the future impacts due to COVID-19 are not likely to be materially disruptive to its ongoing business.

GEO-POLITICAL UNCERTAINTY

The early 2022 invasion of Ukraine by Russia is creating multiple, and likely significant, supply issues, including the use and transport of energy. Natural gas, crude oil, and certain raw materials pricing has increased significantly and are quite volatile, in addition to potential severe supply issues. We require certain feedstocks and energy inputs to be able to generate renewable diesel and other renewable products. The extent of the impact of this major geo-political event and its repercussions are unknown and could have a material impact on our operations, cash flows, liquidity and capital resources. However, once the Bakersfield Renewable Diesel Refinery is operational, we expect that most of the costs of our inputs into our products can be passed on to the buyers of our products.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Restricted Cash

Restricted Cash

In accordance with the Company’s credit facilities, the Company is required to advance the calculated interest expense on its borrowings at the time of such borrowings to the estimated commercial operational date of the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery. This interest is deposited into a designated account and the appropriate amount is paid to the lenders at the end of each quarter. Additionally, the construction funds are deposited into their own designated account and deposited from that designated account into a BKRF account only upon approval by the lenders to pay for specific construction, facility, and related costs. These two accounts are restricted and not directly accessible by the Company for general use, although these funds are assets of the Company. The Company estimates how much of this cash is likely to be capitalized into the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery project in the form of a long-term asset, and classifies this amount as long-term. The Company makes this determination based on its budget, recent and near-term invoicing, and internal projections.

Cash and Cash Equivalents; Concentration of Credit Risk

Cash and Cash Equivalents; Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments maturing in six months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents at high quality financial institutions. However, deposits exceed the federally insured limits. At September 30, 2022, the Company had approximately $5.3 million in uninsured cash.

Foreign Currency Translation

Foreign Currency Translation

Our Spanish subsidiary uses the Euro as its functional currency. Assets and liabilities are translated using exchange rates at the balance sheet dates, and revenues and expenses are translated at weighted average rates. Adjustments from the translation process are recognized in stockholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). During the three months ended September 30, 2022 the Company recognized income of $156 thousand and had no comparable foreign translation income or loss for the three months September 30, 2021. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized income of $170 thousand and had no comparable foreign translation income or loss adjustments in the nine months ended September 30, 2021

Inventories

Inventories

Inventories currently consist of Camelina seeds, grain, meal, and oil. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined based on standard cost. On March 31, 2022, the Company recognized a loss in the amount of $319 thousand due to inventories being adjusted to the lower of cost or net realizable value. There were no lower of cost or net realizable value adjustments made to the inventory values reported as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation of office equipment and transportation equipment are computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of 3 to 5 years. Refinery assets and buildings are depreciated using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of 5 to 25 years. However, the refinery will not begin to be depreciated until its retrofitting has been completed and it is ready for operations. Normal maintenance and repair items are charged to operating costs and are expensed as incurred. The cost and accumulated depreciation of property, plant and equipment sold or otherwise retired are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss on disposition is reflected in the statements of operations. Interest on borrowings related to the retrofitting of the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery is being capitalized, which will continue until the refinery is placed in service. During the three months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, interest of $14.9 million and $8.8 million, respectively, was capitalized and is included in property, plant and equipment, net. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, interest of $38.0 million and $21.5 million, respectively, was capitalized and is included in property, plant and equipment, net, for a total of $78.3 million of capitalized interest for the project.

Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived Assets

In accordance with U.S. GAAP for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, the carrying values of intangible assets and other long-lived assets are reviewed on a regular basis for the existence of facts or circumstances that may suggest impairment. The Company recognizes impairment when the aggregate of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. Impairment losses, if any, are measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its estimated fair value. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, there were no impairment losses recognized on long-lived assets.

Goodwill and Indefinite Lived Assets

Goodwill and Indefinite Lived Assets

The Company’s indefinite lived assets consist of goodwill and trade names. Goodwill represents the excess of the fair value of consideration over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is allocated at the date of the business combination. Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for impairment annually on December 31 of each year or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the asset may be impaired. We have one reporting unit. The first step in our annual goodwill assessment is to perform the optional qualitative assessment allowed by ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other” (“ASC 350”). In our qualitative assessment, we evaluate relevant events or circumstances to determine whether it is more likely than not (i.e., greater than 50%) that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If we determine that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, ASC 350 requires us to compare the fair value of such reporting unit to its carrying value including goodwill. The other indefinite lived assets were separately identified intangible assets apart from goodwill. These separately identified assets with indefinite lives are not amortized and instead are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate a likely impairment.

Debt Issuance Costs

Debt Issuance Costs

Debt issuance costs primarily relate to financing to fund the costs of retrofitting the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery and are amortized over the term of the loan as interest under the effective interest method; however, as such interest primarily relates to retrofitting of the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery, these costs are being capitalized as part of the refinery until it is placed in service. The amortization of the debt issuance costs that are not capitalized are recorded as interest expense. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, unamortized debt issuance costs related to the Senior Credit Facility and Bridge Loan (see Note F) are classified as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of each credit facility; however, at December 31, 2021 unamortized debt issuance costs related to the Mezzanine Credit Facility (as defined below) are presented on the balance sheet as an asset as there had not been any borrowings on the Mezzanine Credit Facility. Effective as of February 23, 2022, the Mezzanine Credit Facility was assigned to and fully funded by GCEH, and as a result, the unamortized debt issuance costs of $3.9 million related to the Mezzanine Credit Facility was recorded as a loss on debt extinguishment in the nine months ended September 30, 2022. During the three months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021 there were no losses on debt extinguishment. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 there were no losses on debt extinguishment. See Note F - Debt for more detail on the financing.

Accrued Liabilities

Accrued Liabilities

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, accrued liabilities consists of:

	As of September 30, 2022		As of December 31, 2021
Accrued compensation and related liabilities	$	4,915,407	$	3,818,701
Accrued interest payable		2,066,486		1,857,343
Accrued construction costs		120,137,628		27,045,738
Other accrued liabilities		4,476,533		3,677,671
Current portion of asset retirement obligations		4,404,256		2,530,000
Current portion of environmental liabilities		4,246,760		1,339,550
	$	140,247,070	$	40,269,003

The Company has recorded amounts for services performed and invoiced from its EPC contractor through September 30, 2022 in accrued construction costs.

Asset Retirement Obligations

Asset Retirement Obligations

The Company recognizes liabilities which represent the fair value of a legal obligation to perform asset retirement activities, including those that are conditional on a future event, when the amount can be reasonably estimated. If a reasonable estimate cannot be made at the time the liability is incurred, we record the liability when sufficient information is available to estimate the liability’s fair value. We have asset retirement obligations with respect to our Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery due to various legal obligations to clean and/or dispose of these assets at the time they are retired. However, the majority of these assets can be used for extended and indeterminate periods of time provided that they are properly maintained and/or upgraded. It is our practice and intent to continue to maintain these assets and make improvements based on technological advances. In order to determine the fair value of the obligations, management must make certain estimates and assumptions including, among other things, projected cash flows, timing of such cash flows, a credit-adjusted risk-free rate and an assessment of market conditions that could significantly impact the estimated fair value of the asset retirement obligations. We believe the estimates selected, in each instance, represent our best estimate of future outcomes, but the actual outcomes could differ from the estimates selected.

We estimate our escalation rate at 3.33% and our discount factor ranges from 3.62% in year one to 7.26% in year twenty, with the weighted average discount rate being 5.0%. See Note K - Commitments and Contingencies for more detail on environmental liabilities, which are accounted for separately from asset retirement obligations.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the changes in asset retirement obligations for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021.

	Nine months ended September 30, 2022			Year ended December 31, 2021
Asset retirement obligations - beginning of period	$	20,191,429		$	21,478,977
Disbursements		(262,494	)		(2,265,557	)
Accretion		687,135			978,009
Asset retirement obligations - end of period	$	20,616,070		$	20,191,429

The amounts shown as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 include $4.4 million and $2.5 million, respectively, which have been classified as current liabilities and included in accrued liabilities and $16.2 million and $17.7 million which have been classified as long term liabilities as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Advances to Contractors

Advances to Contractors

Upon the acquisition of the Bakersfield Biorefinery, the Company advanced $20.1 million to its primary construction contractor for invoices to be billed against the Guaranteed Maximum Price for the Engineering, Procurement and Construction (“EPC”) of the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Project contract (“G-Max Contract”). These funds are credited against future invoices in accordance with an agreed schedule. In May 2021 we replaced our former contractor and entered into a new G-Max Contract with a new contractor. As of September 30, 2021, the $20.1 million advanced to the initial primary construction contractor has been reduced to zero and a new advance has been made to the new primary construction contractor in the amount of $17.8 million. The amount of $17.8 million has been fully utilized against progress billings as of September 30, 2022, resulting in $0.0 reflected as advances to contractor. As of December 31, 2021 advances to contractor were $10.0 million.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and the carryforward of operating losses and tax credits, and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance against deferred tax assets is recorded when it is more likely than not that such tax benefits will not be realized. Assets and liabilities are established for uncertain tax positions taken or positions expected to be taken in income tax returns when such positions are judged to not meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold based on the technical merits of the positions. Estimated interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions are included as a component of general and administrative expense. The Company has recorded a 100% valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue From Contracts With Customers, using the following five-step model: (1) identify the contract with the customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue. The Company is engaged in contracting with farmers to grow camelina grain that will be processed into oil for use in Bakersfield Biorefinery. The Company recognizes revenues upon the sale of its patented camelina seed to the farmers and also for the crushed camelina meal that it plans to sell to third party livestock and poultry operators. The Company recognized in the three months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021 $0.9 million and $0.0 million in revenue, respectively. The Company recognized in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021 $2.1 million and $0.2 million in revenue, respectively. Based upon the Company’s Product Offtake Agreement (see Note B - Liquidity), the Company expects to begin recognizing revenue from the sale of renewable diesel upon the start-up of the Bakersfield Renewable Fuels Refinery and upon such time the Company delivers on its performance obligations.

Research and Development

Research and Development

Research and development costs are charged to operating expenses when incurred, which were nominal for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021.

Fair Value Measurements and Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value Measurements and Fair Value of Financial Instruments

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the carrying amounts of the Company's financial instruments that are not reported at fair value in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, including cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the carrying amounts of the Company's financial instruments that are not reported at fair value in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, including the convertible note payable to the executive officer approximate their fair value due to the recent amendments that reflect current market conditions. The Class B Units, issued by BKRF HCB, LLC, are reported at fair value. Additionally, as further described below, the Company recognized a liability for a warrant commitment to its Senior Lenders at December 31, 2021 as part of a debt modification included in its executed Amendment No. 6 to its Senior Credit Facility, which is reported at fair value. The Senior Credit Facility is a long-term fixed rate debt instrument which has a carrying amount that is approximately at fair value based on a comparison of recently completed market transactions.

U.S. GAAP specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company's market assumptions. These two types of inputs have created the following fair-value hierarchy:

Level 1— Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;

Level 2— Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and

Level 3— Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

On December 20, 2021, the Company executed Amendment No. 6 to the Senior Credit Facility whereby the Company agreed to issue warrants covering 5,017,008 shares of common stock of GCEH at an exercise price to be determined based on a market pricing mechanism, which was $2.25 per share, upon the completion of the Series C Preferred Stock financing (“Series C Financing”) for a term of five years from that date (the “Warrant Commitment Liability”) (See Note B). The Warrant Commitment Liability was in consideration for (i) the 1%, or $4.1 million, consent premium payable from an earlier amendment to the Senior and Mezzanine Credit Facilities, (ii) the Bridge Loan, and (iii) as additional creditor fees for forbearance to the Senior Lenders and Mezzanine Lenders. Such creditor fees were recorded as additional debt discount. The Company recognized a Warrant Commitment Liability as a freestanding instrument that is classified as a liability under ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities From Equity”, as the commitment to issue the warrants represents a variable share settlement where the warrants to be issued to the Senior Lenders vary based on occurrence of the February 23, 2022 issuance of Series C Preferred and GCEH Warrants (see Note B). This Warrant Commitment Liability was initially recognized at fair value and was measured at fair value at each reporting date until it was settled with changes in fair value recognized in earnings in other income (expense). This Warrant Commitment Liability was settled on February 23, 2022 as part of the issuance of the Company’s warrants for 5,017,008 shares of common stock of GCEH to the Senior Lenders.

The following is the recorded fair value of the Class B Units as of September 30, 2022:

	Carrying Value		Total Fair Value		Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets - Level 1		Significant other observable inputs - Level 2		Significant unobservable inputs - Level 3
Liabilities
Class B Units	$	14,859,000	$	14,859,000	$	-	$	-	$	14,859,000

Estimates

Estimates

Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and reported revenues and expenses. Significant estimates used in preparing these financial statements include (a) valuation of common stock, warrants, and stock options, (b) estimated useful lives of equipment and intangible assets, (c) the estimated costs to remediate or clean-up the refinery site, and the inflation rate, credit-adjusted risk-free rate and timing of payments to calculate the asset retirement obligations, (d) the estimated costs to remediate or clean-up identified environmental liabilities, (e) the estimated future cash flows, which are adjusted for current market conditions and various operational revisions, and the various metrics required to establish a reasonable estimate of the value of the Class B Units and the Warrant Commitment Liability issued to the Company’s lenders under the Senior Credit Facility, and (f) the fair value of the consideration for acquisitions and the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. It is reasonably possible that the significant estimates used will change within the next year.

Income/Loss Per Common Share

Income/Loss per Common Share

Income/Loss per share amounts are computed by dividing income or loss applicable to the common stockholders of the Company by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted income or loss per share amounts are computed assuming the issuance of common stock for potentially dilutive common stock equivalents. The number of dilutive warrants, options, and convertible notes and accrued interest is computed using the treasury stock method, whereby the dilutive effect is reduced by the number of treasury shares the Company could purchase with the proceeds from exercises of warrants and options.

The following table presents instruments that were potentially dilutive for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021 that were excluded from diluted earnings per share as they would have been anti-dilutive:

	Three months ended September 30, 2022		Three months ended September 30, 2021		Nine months ended September 30, 2022		Nine months ended September 30, 2021
Convertible notes and accrued interest		7,600,257		7,292,262		7,600,257		7,292,262
Convertible preferred stock - Series B		-		-		-		781,552
Stock options and warrants		52,726,566		18,374,358		42,683,424		17,733,374

Stock Based Compensation

Stock Based Compensation

The Company recognizes compensation expense for stock-based awards expected to vest on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award based on their grant date fair value. However, in the case of awards with accelerated vesting, the amount of compensation expense recognized at any date will be based upon the portion of the award that is vested at that date. The Company estimates the fair value of service-based stock options using a Black-Scholes option pricing model which requires management to make estimates for certain assumptions regarding risk-free interest rate, expected life of options, expected volatility of stock and expected dividend yield of stock. During April 2022, the Company issued 600,000 of market-based equity incentive options to an officer. There were no other market-based equity incentive options issued during 2021 or 2022. As these market-based options vest after the Company's common stock price has achieved a specified price per share as compared to the service-based stock options previously described that vest over the requisite service period, these options were valued and estimated using a Monte-Carlo simulation under a risk-neutral framework and the fair value was determined to be equal to the average value over 100,000 model iterations. Forfeitures are accounted for as incurred.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), which reduces the complexity of the accounting for convertible debt instruments and its effect on earnings per share calculation. The guidance reduces the number of accounting models used for convertible debt instruments, which will result in fewer embedded conversion features being recognized separately from the original contract. This will also affect the guidance associated with convertible debt for earnings-per-share by requiring the if-converted method rather than the treasury stock method, requiring that potential share settlement be included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share and clarifying that an entity should use the weighted-average share count from each quarter when calculating the year-to-date weighted-average share count. For public business entities, the amendments in ASU 2020-06 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those years, and early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those years. The Company formally elected to early-adopt ASU 2020-06 as of January 1, 2022. As the Company did not have any instruments subject to the changes provided in ASU 2020-06 prior to January 1, 2022, there was no material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers ("ASU 2021-08"), which updates the guidance related to the acquisition of revenue contracts in a business combination. The new guidance requires that the acquiring entity recognize and measure contract assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606. At the acquisition date the acquirer should recognize the contract assets and liabilities under Topic 606 as they would have been recognized at contract origination rather than at fair value at the time of the acquisition. The intent is to create more comparability of recognition and measurement of the acquired contracts in business combinations. For public business entities, the amendments in ASU 2021-08 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is evaluating the impact of the guidance on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10, Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance ("ASU 2021-10"), which requires business entities to provide certain disclosures when they (1) have received government assistance and (2) use a grant or contribution accounting model by analogy to other accounting guidance. The guidance will require business entities to disclose the nature of the transactions, accounting policies used to account for the transactions, and state which line items on the balance sheet and income statement are affected by these transactions and the amount applicable to each financial statement line. Business entities will also have to disclose significant terms and conditions of transactions with a government such as the duration of the agreement, any commitments made by either side, provisions, and contingencies. The guidance in ASU 2021-10 is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company adopted ASU 2021-10 on January 1, 2022, and there was no material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
