1.Nature of Operations and Continuance of Business

 

Pacific Green Technologies Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Delaware on March 10, 1994, under the name of Beta Acquisition Corp. In September 1995, the Company changed its name to In-Sports International, Inc. In August 2002, the Company changed its name to ECash, Inc. On June 13, 2012, the Company changed its name to Pacific Green Technologies Inc. The Company is in the business of acquiring, developing, and marketing emission control technologies.

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments of a recurring nature considered necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the periods shown.

 

The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The results of operations and cash flows for the periods shown are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

 

These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, creditors, and related parties, and the ability of the Company to generate profitable operations. As at December 31, 2018, the Company is generating significant sales orders and fulfilling orders on commercial terms; the Company has an accumulated deficit of $77,881,944 since inception and a working capital deficit of $884,987. A history of significant losses raises doubts regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

2.Significant Accounting Policies

 

(a)Basis of Presentation

 

These consolidated financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and are expressed in U.S. dollars. These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the following active entities:

 

  Pacific Green Marine Technologies Ltd. (“PGMTL”)   Wholly-owned subsidiary
  Pacific Green Marine Technologies Inc. (US)(“PGMTI”)   Wholly-owned subsidiary
 

Pacific Green Technologies International Limited (“PGTIL”)

Pacific Green Marine Technologies Inc. (CAN)(“PGTCAN”)

 

Wholly-owned subsidiary

Wholly-owned subsidiary

  Pacific Green Technologies Asia Limited (“PGTA”)   Wholly-owned subsidiary of PGTIL
  Pacific Green Technologies China Limited (“PGTC”)   Wholly-owned subsidiary of PGTA

 

All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

 

(b)Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

 

ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1

 

Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2

 

Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

2.Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

(b)Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements (continued)

 

Level 3

 

Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash, amounts receivable, loan receivable, lease receivable, amounts due from and to related parties, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, convertible debenture, and derivative liability. The recorded values of these financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations.

 

The following table represents assets and liabilities that are measured and recognized at fair value as of December 31, 2018, on a recurring basis:

 

     Level 1
$
   Level 2
$
   Level 3
$
 
               
  Cash   3,677,371         
  Derivative liability       374,607     
  Total   3,677,371    374,607     

 

During the nine months ended December 31, 2018, the Company recognized a loss on the change in fair value of derivative liability of $299,102 (2017 – $187,375).

 

(c)Inventory

 

The Company’s inventory consists of manufacturing and installation projects in various stages of completion. Inventories are recorded at cost and consist of design, materials, and shipyard installation costs incurred. As at December 31, 2018, all inventories were considered work in progress.

 

(d)Revenue Recognition

 

The Company derives revenue from the sale of emission control equipment.

 

Revenue is recognized when control of products or services is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those promised products or services.

 

The Company determines revenue recognition through the following five steps:

 

·Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer
·Identification of the performance obligations in the contract
·Determination of the transaction price
·Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
·Recognition of revenue when, or as, performance obligations are satisfied

 

The Company accounts for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable.

 

(e)Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued new lease accounting guidance in ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases”. This new guidance was initiated as a joint project with the International Accounting Standards Board to simplify lease accounting and improve the quality of and comparability of financial information for users. This new guidance would eliminate the concept of off-balance sheet treatment for “operating leases” for lessees for the vast majority of lease contracts. Under ASU No. 2016-02, at inception, a lessee must classify all leases with a term of over one year as either finance or operating, with both classifications resulting in the recognition of a defined “right-of-use” asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet. However, recognition in the income statement will differ depending on the lease classification, with finance leases recognizing the amortization of the right-of-use asset separate from the interest on the lease liability and operating leases recognizing a single total lease expense. Lessor accounting under ASU No. 2016-02 would be substantially unchanged from the previous lease requirements under GAAP. ASU No. 2016-02 will take effect for public companies in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted and for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, lessees and lessors must apply a modified retrospective transition approach. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance and has not determined the impact this standard may have on the consolidated financial statements.

 

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its consolidated financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

As at December 31, 2018, the Company is owed $286,351 for loan advances made to a non-related party which is non-interest bearing, unsecured, and due on demand.

 

4.Lease Receivable

 

In December 2017, the Company completed the installation and the accounting sale of a constructed scrubber system. The Company’s investment in sales-type lease as at March 31, 2018, consists of an amount due from the customer under a long-term lease arrangement. No amount has been allocated to residual value or other deliverables; accordingly, the amount presented in the consolidated balance sheet represents the present value of amounts due under the energy management contract. The entire amount is presented as a long-term receivable.

On May 17, 2013, the Company entered into an Assignment of Assets agreement with EnviroTechnologies, Inc. (“Enviro”), a non-related party, whereby the Company acquired various patents and technical information related to the manufacture of a wet scrubber for removing sulphur, other pollutants, and the particulate matter from diesel engine exhaust. In exchange for these assets, the Company waived all obligations owing to the Company as well as agreed to return a total of 88,876,443 of Enviro’s shares back to Enviro. The obligations waived consisted of $237,156 owing to the Company as well as $93,721 of debt owing to Pacific Green Group Limited (“PGG”), a company controlled by a shareholder of the Company who has a significant influence on the Company’s operations, which was assigned to the Company. The Company entered into share exchange agreements with Enviro shareholders pursuant to which it issued shares of its common stock in exchange for shares of Enviro on a one-for-ten basis. The intangible assets acquired were recorded at cost and is being amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of 17 years.

 

7.Convertible Debenture

 

On November 10, 2015, the Company entered into a $110,000 convertible debenture with a non-related party, in exchange for $100,000, net of $10,000 for legal fees which was deferred and amortized over the term of the debenture. Under the terms of the debenture, the amount is unsecured, bears interest at 10% and default interest at 20% per annum, and was due on November 10, 2016. The note is convertible into shares of common stock of the Company equal to the lower of: (a) $0.40 or (b) 60% of the lowest trading price of the Company’s common stock during the 20 consecutive trading days prior to the date of conversion. In the event of a default, the discount shall be permanently increased by 10%.

 

The Company analyzed the conversion option under ASC 815, and determined that the conversion feature should be classified as a liability and recorded at fair value due to there being no explicit limit to the number of shares to be delivered upon settlement of the conversion option. In accordance with ASC 815, the Company recognized the intrinsic value of the embedded beneficial conversion feature of $110,000. On February 22, 2017, the Company issued 50,000 shares of common stock for the conversion of $20,000 of this debenture. On August 10, 2017, the Company issued 100,000 shares of common stock for the conversion of $20,000 of this debenture. On October 4, 2017, the Company issued 320,000 shares of common stock for the conversion of $40,000 of this debenture. As at December 31, 2018, the carrying value of the debenture was $30,000 (March 31, 2018 - $30,000) and the fair value of the derivative liability was $374,607 (March 31, 2018 - $75,505).

8.Derivative Liability

 

The Company records the fair value of the conversion price of the convertible debenture disclosed in Note 7 in accordance with ASC 815. The fair value of the derivative liability was calculated using a binomial option pricing model. The fair value of the derivative liability is revalued on each balance sheet date with corresponding gains and losses recorded in the consolidated statement of operations. During the nine months ended December 31, 2018, the Company recorded a loss on the change in fair value of derivative liability of $299,102 (2017 – $187,735). As at December 31, 2018, the Company recorded derivative liability of $374,607 (March 31, 2018 - $75,505).

 

The following inputs and assumptions were used to calculate the fair value of the beneficial conversion feature of the convertible debenture outstanding as at December 31, 2018, assuming no expected dividends:

 

     As at
December 31,
2018

New Strategy and Current business

 

Since 2012, the Company has focused on marketing, developing and acquiring technologies designed to improve the environment by reducing pollution. The Company has acquired technologies, patents and intellectual property from EnviroTechnologies Inc. through share transfer, assignment and representation agreements entered into during 2012 and 2013. Following those acquisitions, management has expanded the registration of intellectual property rights around the world and pursued opportunities globally for the development and marketing of the emission control technologies.

 

Working with a worldwide network of agents to market the ENVI-Systems™ emission control technologies, the Company has focused on three applications of the technology:

 

ENVI-Marine TM

 

Diesel exhaust from ships, ferries and tankers includes ash and soot as particulate components and sulphur dioxide as an acid gas. Testing has been conducted on diesel shipping to confirm the application of seawater as a neutralizing agent for sulphur emissions as well as capturing particulate matter. In addition to marine applications, these tests also showed applicability of the system for large displacement engines such as stationary generators, compressors, container handling, heavy construction and mining equipment.

 

The Company manufactured the components for an ENVI-Marine unit that was installed in Union Maritimes’ (Union) MV Westminster chemical ship during the summer of 2017. Under the terms of an Energy Management Lease dated December 16, 2016, Union will make quarterly payments to the Company determined on their savings realized by the ENVI-Marine units’ operation up to an aggregate of $1,995,000.

 

The Company has been actively marketing its ENVI-Marine™ units to ship brokers and ship owners.

 

ENVI-Pure TM

 

Increasing legislation relating to landfill of municipal solid waste has led to the emergence of increasing numbers of waste to energy plants (“WtE”). A WtE plant obviates the need for landfill, burning municipal waste for conversion to electricity. A WtE plant is typically 45-100MW. The ENVI-Clean™ system is particularly suited to WtE as it cleans multiple pollutants in a single system.

 

ENVI-Clean TM

 

EnviroTechnologies Inc. has successfully conducted sulphur dioxide demonstration tests at the American Bituminous Coal Partners power plant in Grant Town, West Virginia. The testing achieved a three test average of 99.3% removal efficiency. The implementation of US Clean Air regulations in July 2010 has created additional demand for sulphur dioxide removal in all industries emitting sulphur pollution. Furthermore, China consumes approximately one half of the world’s coal, but introduced measures designed to reduce energy and carbon intensity in its 12th Five Year Plan. Applications include regional power facilities and heating for commercial buildings and greenhouses. Typical applications range in size from 1 to 20 megawatts (MW) with power generation occupying the larger end of the range.

 

Following the signing of a joint venture agreement with Power China SPEM, an ENVI-Clean™ was sold to a steelworks company in Yancheng to remove SO2 from its 93MW gas combustion powerplant.

 

The ENVI-Clean™ system removes most of the sulphur dioxide, particulate matter, greenhouse gases and other hazardous air pollutants from the flue gases produced by the combustion of coal, biomass, municipal solid waste, diesel and other fuels.

The ENVI-Clean™ system is comprised of five components:

 

  an induced draft fan (“ID fan”);
     
  a gas conditioning chamber;
     
  the ENVI-Clean™ unit;
     
  a demister; and
     
  settling tanks.

 

The ID fan creates the pressure differential required to force the gas through the scrubbing fluid suspended on each head and move it through the other components in the system. The gas conditioning chamber cools the hot flue gas prior to entering the ENVI-Clean™ System. The ENVI-Clean™ System contains the heads and the demister pads at the exhaust exit. The neutralizing fluid is constantly circulated and cleaned by mechanical means with the contaminated component of the separation going to a settling tank prior to dewatering. The settled solids are disposed of with the bottom ash produced by the combustion process.

 

 

 

The ENVI-CES™ technology forces 100% of the polluted exhaust flue gas into the neutralizing fluid to produce a highly turbulent interaction between the target pollutants and the fluid. The aggressive mixing produces small bubbles which create a very high surface contact area between the exhaust gas and fluid to enhance the transfer of particulate and targeted gaseous and hazardous pollutants from the exhaust to the fluid.

 

 

 

Schematic of the ENVI-Clean™ Emission’s System as installed for Biomass applications

 

Unique to the ENVI approach is the introduction of the gas in the lower section of the ENVI-Clean™ unit which makes the greatest portion of its cross section available for fluid–gas interaction. This permits a smaller and highly flexible footprint. Furthermore, the system design allows for multiple heads each containing different neutralizing fluids to remove various pollutants from the flue gas. The ordered removal of acid and greenhouse gases within a single unit makes the system highly desirable by industries whose fuels contain multiple contaminants. The resulting ENVI-Clean™ unit has high efficiency and is very simple to operate.

 

The neutralizing solution is selected to remove targeted pollutants: limestone and hydrated lime are used to neutralize the scrubbing solution for the removal of acid gases such as sulphur dioxide, hydrogen chloride and hydrogen fluoride. The unique design of the ENVI system allows for the sequential removal of pollutants by stacking heads and utilizing different neutralizing chemistry in each operating unit. This provides industry with a system that fulfills multiple applications.

The ENVI-Clean™ system has numerous new and retrofit applications:

 

  coal and coal waste fuelled CFBC boilers;
     
  pulverized coal and stoker-grate boilers;
     
  heavy oil fired boilers;
     
  biomass and waste to energy boilers;
     
  lime kilns, dryers, shredders and foundries;
     
  industrial exhaust scrubbing of particulates and acid gases;
     
  diesel engines, large marine and stationary engines; and
     
  sewage sludge, hazardous waste and MSW incinerators.

 

Significant transactions

 

Management, assisted by PGG, identified an opportunity to build a business focused on marketing, developing and acquiring technologies designed to improve the environment by reducing pollution. To this end, we entered into and closed an assignment and share transfer agreement, on June 14, 2012, for the assignment of a representation agreement and the acquisition of a company involved in the environmental technology industry.

 

The assignment and share transfer agreement provided for the acquisition of 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Pacific Green Technologies Limited, formerly PGG’s subsidiary in the United Kingdom. Additionally, PGG has assigned to our company a ten year exclusive worldwide representation agreement with EnviroTechnologies Inc., (formerly EnviroResolutions, Inc.), a Delaware corporation, to market and sell EnviroTechnologies’ current and future environmental technologies. The representation agreement entitles PGG to a commission of 20% of all sales (net of taxes) generated by EnviroTechnologies. Pursuant to the terms of the assignment and share transfer agreement, all rights and obligations under the representation agreement have been transferred to our company. We currently anticipate that sales under the representation agreement will be our sole source of revenue for the foreseeable future. We had intended to complete an acquisition of EnviroTechnologies, as this would have been a logical step in our development. However, as discussed herein, we have settled with EnviroTechnologies as an alternative.

 

Both Sichel and PGG are wholly owned subsidiaries of the Hookipa Trust. PGG’s wholly owned subsidiary was Pacific Green Technologies Limited. As a result, we acquired Pacific Green Technologies Limited from PGG. Sichel is a significant shareholder of our company and also provides us with consulting services. The sole director of Sichel is also the sole director of PGG. Further, PGG is a significant shareholder of EnviroTechnologies.

 

The assignment and share transfer agreement closed on June 14, 2012 via the issuance of 5,000,000 shares of our common stock as well as a $5,000,000 promissory note to PGG. We have consequently undertaken the operations of Pacific Green Technologies Limited and PGG’s obligations under the representation agreement.

 

Full consideration contemplated by the assignment and share transfer agreement was $25,000,000 satisfied through the issue of 5,000,000 new shares of our common stock at a price of $4 per share with the balance of $5,000,000 structured as a promissory note over the next five years as follows:

 

  June 12, 2013, $1,000,000;
     
  June 12, 2014, $1,000,000;
     
  June 12, 2015, $1,000,000;
     
  June 12, 2016, $1,000,000 and;
     
  June 12, 2017, $1,000,000.

 

Under the terms of the promissory note, the loan repayments specified above shall not exceed the amount we earn under the terms of the representation agreement. If we are unable to meet the repayment schedule set out above, PGG will have the option to either roll over any unpaid portion to the following payment date or to convert the outstanding amount into new shares of our common stock. However, the entire amount of the promissory note is due upon the maturity date on the fifth anniversary. On September 25, 2017, the Company and PGG agreed to a settlement of the outstanding promissory by way of a subscription agreement for 5,000,000 shares of common stock at $1.00 per share.

The initial total consideration of $25,000,000 was a purchase price not determined under U.S. GAAP, and both the $25,000,000 total price and the deemed price of $4 per share does not represent the fair value of the stock issued or a value used in accounting for the acquisition. The number of shares issued and the terms of the promissory note were negotiated between the parties and are intended to represent full consideration for the acquisition of Pacific Green Technologies Limited and the representation agreement.

  

Our management believes that the ENVI-Clean™ system has significant competitive advantages in the market for emission control systems including:

 

  1. Efficiency: tests performed at an 84MW coal power plant in West Virginia (USA) indicate that the ENVI-Clean™ system removed on average 99.3% of sulfur dioxide over a three day period from the plant’s emissions;
     
  2. Low Capital Cost: the system has a compact and flexible footprint relative to competitive products. For electricity generation applications, EnviroTechnologies’ system is priced for market at approximately $90 per kilowatt of electricity generation. In comparison, industry consultants state that comparable systems in North America are typically priced at $300-500 per kilowatt (Source: High Energy Services/Babcock & Wilcox-wet scrubber systems for SO2 removal in North America);
     
  3. Low Ongoing Operating Cost: the ENVI-Clean™ system is more affordable in the long term for customers compared to competitor products;
     
  4. New and Retrofit Applications: for retrofit applications in particular (as required by the 2011 EPA Boiler MACT Requirements), the system is considered by management to be more compact and adaptable than rival systems;
     
  5. Scalability: the ENVI-Clean™ system can be adapted for the largest power stations but also smaller applications such as diesel marine engines. It can also remove multiple pollutants in a single system, unlike much of the competition.

 

On October 5, 2011, EnviroResolutions, a British Columbia corporation, signed a contract to supply the ENVI-Clean™ system to a new waste to energy plant being built in Peterborough, United Kingdom (the “Peterborough Contract”). The initial material term and condition of the contract was that EnviroResolutions demonstrate testing of the system that achieved the performance levels represented in regards to emissions by March 31, 2012. This condition was successfully satisfied and confirmed with Peterborough Renewable Energy Limited (“PREL”) prior to the required date. The Peterborough Contract entitles us, as the holder of the representation agreement, to a commission of approximately $4,600,000 before third party agency fees.

 

Effective March 5, 2013, we entered into a supplemental agreement with EnviroTechnologies and EnviroResolutions. The supplemental agreement amends the representation agreement between PGG and EnviroTechnologies dated June 7, 2010, which was later assigned to us from PGG in connection with an assignment and share transfer agreement dated June 14, 2012. The supplemental agreement entitles our company to a commission of equal to 50% (previously 20%) of any licensing revenue that may be generated by EnviroTechnologies Inc. in respect of its existing and future technologies.

 

In addition, pursuant to the supplemental agreement, we will receive from EnviroResolutions an amount equal to 50% of any assets or consideration received as compensation from PREL for PREL’s failure to perform under a contingent sale agreement dated October 5, 2011 between EnviroResolutions and PREL. We will receive the fee for our assistance to EnviroResolutions during their negotiations with PREL regarding PREL’s failure to perform. The fee, if any, provided to us will not constitute any repayment of our loans that were made to EnviroResolutions.

 

The supplemental agreement supplements the Peterborough Contract dated October 5, 2011 entered into among EnviroResolutions, PREL and GEPL. Pursuant to the Peterborough Contract, EnviroResolutions was to supply PREL with a wet scrubbing emission control system to a proposed waste to energy plant being built in Peterborough, United Kingdom.

Information on Pacific Green Technologies Limited

 

Pacific Green Technologies Limited is a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales on April 5, 2011 (“PGT”). The director of PGT was Mr. Joseph Grigor Kelly. On November 7, 2012, Mr. Joseph Grigor Kelly tendered his resignation to the board of directors. PGT has no employees. Concurrently, Neil Carmichael consented to and was appointed as the sole director and chief executive and financial officer of PGT.

 

The purpose of incorporating PGT was to utilize local knowledge and contacts to build a platform for sales in the following regions: Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Russian Federation, Turkey, Middle East, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Africa. However, our company has found that the cost to have physical presence in UK far out weights the benefit. As a result, PGT is now in the process of being dissolved as of the date of the filing of this annual report.

 

Information on Pacific Green Energy Parks Limited

 

Pacific Green Energy Parks Limited (“PGEP”) sees an opportunity to develop renewable power stations with capacities up to 50MW in the biomass and waste to energy sectors. In addition to their positive impact on the world’s environment, these projects have the potential to deliver a sustainable post-tax equity IRR and may provide our company with an opportunity to deploy its technologies. To this end our company has been identifying and investigating appropriate projects worldwide.

 

On March 26, 2012, PGEP reached an agreement with the shareholders of Energy Park Sutton Bridge Limited (“EPSB”), whereby PGEP would fund a planning application for the development of a biomass energy plant in return for a 75% shareholding in EPSB. EPSB was incorporated in the UK in 2009 to develop a 49 MW biomass energy plant in Sutton Bridge, Lincolnshire, UK. A planning application for EPSB was submitted to South Holland District Council (“SHDC”) on September 4, 2012.

 

On March 5, 2013, PGEP acquired the remaining 25% of EPSB. On May 8, 2013, EPSB secured planning permission for a 49MW biomass power plant at Sutton Bridge, Lincolnshire.

 

The facility will have an installed energy capacity of 49MW. The export capacity of the facility will be circa 44MW. The electricity will be supplied to the National Grid. Heat from the operation will be used within the facility and the ancillary buildings whilst off-take points will be provided for future combined heat and power needs in the area. The location of the plant alongside an existing industrial estate and in proximity of an area proposed for future industrial expansion makes the realization of the potential for combined heat and power more likely than in other possible locations. EPSB has secured options to purchase the freehold of the Energy Park site from the land owners.

 

Biomass is considered to be carbon neutral because the quantity of CO2 released during combustion is the same as that absorbed by plants as a result of photosynthesis during their growth. This differs from fossil fuels in that, although both originating from organic matter, the carbon in fossil fuels has been locked away for millions of years, and when released during combustion, results in a net increase in CO2 levels in the atmosphere.

 

Biomass is also considered environmentally sustainable as in many cases it is derived from by-products of other industries such as agriculture and forestry management. This contains a closed carbon cycle with no net increase in atmospheric CO2 levels. As a result, EPSB will be entitled to renewables obligation certificates (“ROCs”) under the UK’s Renewable Obligation regime. As of April 2016, pure biomass will be afforded 1.4 ROCs/MWh of electricity produced, for a 20 year tariff period. EPSB’s forecasts assume:

 

EPSB will recover energy from virgin wood using steam turbine technology. The plant will require approximately 325,000 tonnes of virgin wood per annum (“Feedstock”).

 

Following discussions with industry experts, engineers, consultants and financiers, our company estimates that EPSB should cost approximately £165,000,000 to construct. Once the project is “spade ready”, construction should take 2 years. Previously, we anticipated that the project would be “spade ready” by March 2014. However, our company’s application for planning consent was not accepted by council and we resubmitted our application on June 20, 2014. The EPC contractor will provide a fixed cost turnkey completion guarantee. Planning consent was again turned down April 2015.

A detailed carbon assessment has been submitted within the EIA presenting the carbon savings offered by the operation of the facility.

 

The project will deliver combined heat and power (“CHP”) infrastructure. Our company is investigating potential opportunities for supplying local heat customers at both existing and potential new developments off site. EPSB will maintain an open dialogue with the local authority and will ensure that an appropriate boiler and turbine design is selected to facilitate the distribution of heat.

 

Currently our company is identifying and assessing further renewable power plant developments that are complimentary to the use of ENVI-Emissions Systems where possible.

 

Securing additional financial and human capital

 

At present, the Company has four directors. It is anticipated that we will expand our management team to fully exploit our technologies and identified markets and it may therefore be necessary to raise financial capital. We we may need to raise additional financial capital through equity issuances, debt instruments and guarantees.

 

Form of any subsequent acquisitions

 

The manner in which we participate in an opportunity will depend upon the nature of the opportunity, our respective needs and desires and those of the promoters of the opportunity, and our relative negotiating strength compared to that of such promoters.

 

It is likely that we will acquire further participations in business opportunities through the issuance of our common stock, or other of our securities. Although the terms of any such transaction cannot be predicted, it should be noted that in certain circumstances the criteria for determining whether or not an acquisition is a so-called “tax free” reorganization under Section 368(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, depends upon whether the owners of the acquired business own 80% or more of the voting stock of the surviving entity. If a transaction were structured to take advantage of these provisions rather than other “tax free” provisions provided under the Code, all prior stockholders would in such circumstances retain 20% or less of the total issued and outstanding shares of the surviving entity. Under other circumstances, depending upon the relative negotiating strength of the parties, prior stockholders may retain substantially less than 20% of the total issued and outstanding shares of the surviving entity. This could result in substantial additional dilution to the equity of those who were our stockholders prior to such reorganization.

 

Our stockholders will likely not have control of a majority of our voting securities following a reorganization transaction. As part of such a transaction, our directors may resign and one or more new directors may be appointed without any vote by stockholders.

 

In the case of an acquisition, the transaction may be accomplished upon the sole determination of management without any vote or approval by our stockholders. In the case of a statutory merger or consolidation directly involving our company, it will likely be necessary to call a stockholders’ meeting and obtain the approval of the holders of a majority of our outstanding securities. The necessity to obtain such stockholder approval may result in delay and additional expense in the consummation of any proposed transaction and will also give rise to certain appraisal rights to dissenting stockholders. Most likely, management will seek to structure any such transaction so as not to require stockholder approval.

 

It is anticipated that the investigation of specific business opportunities and the negotiation, drafting and execution of relevant agreements, disclosure documents and other instruments will require substantial management time and attention and substantial cost for accountants, attorneys and others. If a decision is made not to participate in a specific business opportunity, the costs theretofore incurred in the related investigation might not be recoverable. Furthermore, even if an agreement is reached for the participation in a specific business opportunity, the failure to consummate that transaction may result in the loss to us of the related costs incurred.

On May 17, 2013, we entered into a debt settlement agreement with EnviroTechnologies and EnviroResolutions (collectively, the “Debtors”). Pursuant to the terms of the debt settlement agreement, we agreed to release and waive all obligations of the Debtors to repay debts, in the aggregate of $293,406 and CAD$38,079, to us and agreed to return an aggregate of 88,876,443 common shares of EnviroTechnologies to EnviroResolutions. The 88,876,443 common shares of EnviroTechnologies were returned as of June 30, 2016. As consideration for this release and waiver and return of shares, the Debtors agreed to transfer all rights, interests and title to certain intellectual property, the physical embodiments of such intellectual property, and to the supplemental agreement dated March 5, 2013 among EnviroResolutions, PREL and Green Energy Parks Limited (“GEPL”) (collectively, the “Debtors’ Assets”).

The Debtors’ Assets include the intellectual property rights throughout most of the world for the ENVI-Clean™ system, the ENVI-Pure™ system and the ENVI-SEA™ scrubber. The ENVI-Clean™ system removes most of the sulphur dioxide, particulate matter, greenhouse gases and other hazardous air pollutants from the flue gases produced by the combustion of coal, biomass, municipal solid waste, diesel and other fuels. The ENVI-Pure™ emission system combines the ENVI-Clean™ highly effective patent-pending wet scrubbing technology with an innovative wet electrostatic precipitator and a granular activated carbon adsorber to remove particulate matter, acid gases, regulated metals, dioxins and VOCs from the flue gas to levels significantly below those required by strictest international regulations. The ENVI-SEA™ scrubber can be applied to diesel exhaust emissions that require sulphur and particulate matter abatement. Using seawater on a single-pass basis as the scrubbing fluid in combination with its patent pending scrubbing head will provide a highly interactive zone of turbulent mixing for absorption of SO2, particulate matter and other pollutants from the engine’s exhaust.

 

The following is a brief description of further terms and conditions of the debt settlement agreement that are material to our company:

 

  1. We pay 25% of all funds, if any, received under the supplemental agreement to the Debtors within 14 days upon receipt of funds, if any, pursuant to the supplemental agreement;

 

  2. We enter into definitive agreements with the Debtors to:

 

  a. license the Debtors’ Assets back to the Debtors, under arm’s length commercial terms, for use in the USA and Canada, with the exception of NRG Energy, Inc. and Edison Mission and affiliates; and
  b. have the Debtors provide engineering services to us on terms to be agreed upon, acting reasonably;

 

  3. The Debtors pay pro-rata any third party broker fees and legal fees, if any, that are subsequent costs associated with the Supplemental Agreement; and
     
  4. the Debtors retain possession of, yet make a pilot-scale scrubber available for rental to our company at a nominal cost.

Net loss for the nine month period ended December 31, 2018 was $10,117,893 as compared to $3,672,371 for the nine month period ended December 31, 2017. The increase in expenses was primarily a result of recording stock-based compensation of $4,744,382 for the issuance of stock options to management and consultants. Additionally, there were in advertising and promotion, consulting fees, and travel as part of the company’s increased efforts in marketing its products and services to ship owners globally.

 

For the three month period ended December 31, 2018, our company had a net loss of $7,538,819 ($0.17 per share) compared to a net loss of $1,422,632 ($0.04 per share) for the three month period ended December 31, 2017. In addition to the operating expenses noted above, for the three month period ended December 31, 2018, our company had interest expense of $3,000 and loss on change in fair value of derivative liabilities of $118,236 as compared to interest expense of $2,500, loss on extinguishment of debt of $114,389, adjustment in impairment of property and equipment of $(7,641) and a gain on change in fair value of derivative liabilities of $96,634 for the three month period ended December 31, 2017. The increase in net loss is primarily related to increases in stock-based compensation, consulting, salaries and wages and travel.

Anticipated Cash Requirements

 

We may require additional funds to fund our budgeted expenses over the next 12 months. These funds may be raised through equity financing, debt financing, or other sources, which may result in further dilution in the equity ownership of our shares.

 

We anticipate that our cash expenses over the next 12 months will be approximately $3,150,000 as described in the table below. These estimates may change significantly depending on the nature of our business activities and our ability to raise capital from our shareholders or other sources.

 

Description 

Estimated

Expenses

($)

 
Legal and accounting fees   300,000 
Marketing and advertising   250,000 
Investor relations and capital raising   150,000 
Engineering, research and technical development   600,000 
Travel   450,000 
Management and operating costs   500,000 
Salaries and consulting fees   650,000 
General and administrative expenses   250,000 
Total   3,150,000 

 

Our general and administrative expenses for the year will consist primarily of transfer agent fees, bank and interest charges and rent and general office expenses. The professional fees are related to our regulatory filings throughout the year and include legal, accounting and auditing fees.

 

Based on our planned expenditures, we require a minimum of $3,150,000 to proceed with our business plan over the next 12 months. As of December 31, 2018, we had $3,677,371 cash on hand

 

Should our business plans change, requiring additional cash resources, we would intend to raise the balance of our cash requirements from private placements, the exercise of warrants and options, or possibly a registered public offering (either self-underwritten or through a broker-dealer). If we are unsuccessful in raising enough money through such efforts, we may review other financing possibilities such as bank loans. At this time we do not have a commitment from any broker-dealer to provide us with financing. There is no assurance that any financing will be available to us or if available, on terms that will be acceptable to us.

 

Going Concern

 

Our consolidated financial statements for the nine month period ended December 31, 2018 have been prepared on a going concern basis and contain an additional explanatory paragraph which identifies issues that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, creditors, and related parties, and the ability of the Company to generate profitable operations. As at December 31, 2018, the Company has begun commercial sales generating revenues; the Company has an accumulated deficit of $77,881,944 and has a working capital deficit of $884,987. A history of significant losses raises doubts regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

If our operations and cash flow improve, management believes that we can continue to operate. However, no assurance can be given that management’s actions will result in profitable operations or an improvement in our liquidity situation. The threat of our ability to continue as a going concern will cease to exist only when our revenues have reached a level able to sustain our business operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Our company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the useful life and recoverability of intangible assets, collectability of loan and lease receivables, fair value of convertible debentures, fair value of derivative liabilities, fair value of stock-based compensation, and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. Our company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by our company may differ materially and adversely from our company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

 

Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and are comprised of patents. The patents are amortized straight-line over the estimated useful life of 17 years.

 

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

 

Our company reviews long-lived assets such as property and equipment and intangible assets with finite useful lives for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstance indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the total of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, a loss is recognized for the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the asset.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company derives revenue from the sale of emission control equipment.

 

Revenue is recognized when control of products or services is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those promised products or services.

 

The Company determines revenue recognition through the following five steps:

 

·         Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer

·         Identification of the performance obligations in the contract

·         Determination of the transaction price

·         Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

·         Recognition of revenue when, or as, performance obligations are satisfied

 

The Company accounts for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable.

 

Stock-based compensation

 

Our company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, using the fair value method. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.

 

Our company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the fair value of stock-based awards. This model is affected by our company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of subjective variables. These subjective variables include, but are not limited to our company’s expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense in the consolidated statement of operations over the requisite service period.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued new lease accounting guidance in ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases”. This new guidance was initiated as a joint project with the International Accounting Standards Board to simplify lease accounting and improve the quality of and comparability of financial information for users. This new guidance would eliminate the concept of off-balance sheet treatment for “operating leases” for lessees for the vast majority of lease contracts. Under ASU No. 2016-02, at inception, a lessee must classify all leases with a term of over one year as either finance or operating, with both classifications resulting in the recognition of a defined “right-of-use” asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet. However, recognition in the income statement will differ depending on the lease classification, with finance leases recognizing the amortization of the right-of-use asset separate from the interest on the lease liability and operating leases recognizing a single total lease expense. Lessor accounting under ASU No. 2016-02 would be substantially unchanged from the previous lease requirements under GAAP. ASU No. 2016-02 will take effect for public companies in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted and for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, lessees and lessors must apply a modified retrospective transition approach. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance and has not determined the impact this standard may have on the consolidated financial statements.

 

Our company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its consolidated financial statements. At this time, management does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
