BASANITE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2020 AND 2019

(UNAUDITED)


NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION, NATURE OF BUSINESS AND GOING CONCERN


(A) Overview and Basis of Presentation


On May 30, 2006, Basanite, Inc. (“Basanite”) was organized as a Nevada corporation. Basanite and its wholly owned subsidiaries are herein referred to as the "Company", “we”, “our”, or “us”. Currently based in Pompano Beach, Florida, the Company intends to manufacture concrete-reinforcing products made from basalt fiber reinforced polymers (“BFRP”) such as its primary product BasaFlex. This UV-stable, chemical, acid and moisture resistant material is sustainable and environmentally friendly and has been engineered to replace steel as it never rusts, therefore, addressing the industry’s current corrosion issues.


The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position and results of operations. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the SEC on April 6, 2020. The interim results for the period ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year. It is management's opinion, however, that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made which are necessary for a fair financial statement presentation.


(B) Principles of Consolidation


The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Basanite, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Basanite Industries, LLC and Basalt America formerly known as Rockstar Acquisitions, LLC.


(C) Liquidity and Management Plans


Since inception, the Company has incurred net operating losses and used cash in operations. The Company has an accumulated deficit of approximately $27.8 million, a working capital deficit of approximately $1.9 million, and cash used in operations of approximately $1.6 million as of and for the period ended September 30, 2020. Losses have principally occurred as a result of the substantial resources required for product development and marketing of the Company's products, which include the general and administrative expenses associated with its organization and product development.  The losses continue as the Company begins to scale its production process and hire the required minimum staff to effectively run the business.  Basanite Industries submitted its first round of BasaFlex™ (Basalt Fiber Reinforced Polymer) rebar products to the Structures and Materials Department of the University of Miami (UM), Miami, Florida, an industry accredited independent testing laboratory, to obtain a Certified Test Report which allows Basanite to participate in approved fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) applications, such as precast, architectural, flatwork and other non-structural engineered applications.  On May 29th, 2020, a Certified Test Report was submitted to Basanite for engineering use.  Basanite Industries has submitted a second round of BasaFlex™ rebars for additional testing, that will further certify and qualify BasaFlex™ for Federal and state government applications, to the University of Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada.  Basanite expects the results to be superior to the first round of testing.  The Company will continue to scale its production process and build up its inventory through the end of 2020 to meet the expected demand volumes for alternative, non-corrosive reinforcement, however, as is customary with scaling production and staffing, operating losses will continue through 2021.


The Company had cash of $575,912 compared to $129,152 at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.  Currently, the Company requires sufficient capital to fund its planned operations through the end of calendar year 2020 and through the first quarter of 2021. We have historically satisfied our working capital requirements through the sale of restricted common stock and the issuance of warrants and promissory notes.  Until future revenues and corresponding cash flows materialize, we will attempt to fund working capital requirements through third party financing, including a private placement of our securities as well as bridge loan arrangements. We cannot provide any assurances that required capital will be obtained or that the terms of such required capital may be acceptable to us. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing, we may reduce our operating activities until sufficient funding is secured or revenues are generated to support operating activities.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2020 AND 2019

(UNAUDITED)

 


NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION, NATURE OF BUSINESS AND GOING CONCERN (continued)


The coronavirus (“COVID-19”) that was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China in December 2019 and that has now spread throughout the world could adversely impact our operations or those of our third-party partners. Additionally, the continued spread of the virus could negatively impact the manufacturing, supply, distribution and sale of our products and our financial results. The extent to which the coronavirus impacts our operations or those of our third-party partners will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the duration of the outbreak, new information that may emerge concerning the severity of the coronavirus and the actions to contain the coronavirus or treat its impact, among others. Such developments could have a material adverse effect on our financial results and our ability to conduct business as expected. Additionally, the disruption to capital markets caused by the pandemic may adversely affect the Company’s ability to obtain funding to continue operations in the future.


All of these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. As a result of these factors, the report of our independent auditors dated April 6, 2020, on our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 included an emphasis of matter paragraph indicating that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Management believes that the actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plan provides the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.


NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


(A) Cash


The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash instruments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  The Company places its cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash on deposit with financial institutions in the United States, which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Company ("FDIC") up to $250,000. The Company's credit risk in the event of failure of these financial institutions is represented by the difference between the FDIC limit and the total amounts on deposit. Management monitors the financial institutions credit worthiness in conjunction with balances on deposit to minimize risk.


(B) Use of Estimates in Financial Statements


The presentation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


(C) Inventories


The Company’s inventories consist of raw materials, work in process and finished goods, both purchased and manufactured. Inventories are stated at lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined on the first-in, first-out basis. Raw inventory consists of basalt fiber and other necessary elements to produce the basalt rebar. On a quarterly basis, the Company analyzes its inventory levels and records allowances for inventory that has become obsolete and inventory that has a cost basis in excess of the expected net realizable value.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)


(F) Stock-Based Compensation


The Company recognizes compensation costs to employees under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. Under FASB ASC Topic 718, companies are required to measure the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Share based compensation arrangements include stock options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans. As such, compensation cost is measured on the date of grant at their fair value. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the grant.


The Company entered into a consulting agreement on July 9, 2020 for services in exchange for restricted common stock as compensation for the consulting services.  The term of the agreement is for six months with the option for renewal quarterly. Upon execution of the agreement, 600,000 shares were due within 5 days of execution.  The execution date fair value of the shares was $0.29 per share.  The Company recognized $78,590 in stock-based compensation as a result and is accrued as a subscription liability as of September 30, 2020.  If the Company agrees to renew each quarter, an additional 350,000 shares are to be issued per quarter.  


NOTE 3 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS


There are several new accounting pronouncements issued or proposed by the FASB. Each of these pronouncements, as applicable, has been or will be adopted by the Company. Management does not believe any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position or operating results.


NOTE 4 – OPERATING LEASE


On January 31, 2019, the Company entered into an agreement to lease approximately 25,470 square feet of office and manufacturing space in Pompano Beach, Florida. The original term of the lease was approximately five years and two months. On March 25, 2019, the Company entered into an amendment to the agreement to increase the square footage of leased premises to 36,900 square feet, increasing the Company’s base rent obligation to be approximately $33,825 per month for one year and nine months, and increasing annually at a rate of three percent for the remainder of the lease term. The aggregate base rent payments for the term of the lease is $2,073,344. Additionally, as a result of the lease amendment, the lease deposit required was increased to $74,000.


The future minimum lease payments to be made under the operating lease as of September 30, 2020 are as follows:

Operating lease liabilities are based on the net present value of the remaining lease payments over the remaining lease term. In determining the present value of lease payments, the Company used the incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date. As of September 30, 2020, the weighted-average remaining lease term is 3.5 years and the weighted-average discount rate used to determine the operating lease liability was 15.0%. For the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company expensed $106,920 and $105,730, respectively for rent. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company expensed $322,103 and $317,426, respectively for rent.

NOTE 5 – NOTES PAYABLE – CONVERTIBLE


Convertible notes payable, net of the related debt discounts, totaled $76,669 and $453,991 at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.


On March 5, 2020, the Company issued a convertible promissory note to an accredited investor in exchange for $50,000 bearing an interest rate of 10% per annum and payable in nine months. After June 5, 2020, the holder may convert the unpaid principal and interest balance of the note into shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, at the conversion rate equal to 80% of the closing price on June 5, 2020 per share. At the time of conversion, the Company shall immediately also issue a five-year warrant to the holder to purchase an amount of warrants equal to the $50,000 divided by the conversion price of shares of common stock of the Company. The exercise price for such warrants shall be 3 times the conversion price. In addition, the warrants shall have an option whereby the Company can require the exercise of the warrants if the trading price is at or above the warrant price times 190% for 20 consecutive trading days. The conversion price was determined to be $0.132.  A debt discount of $50,000 was recorded on the note payable at resolution of the contingent beneficial conversion feature.  The noteholder converted the promissory note of $50,000 and accrued interest of $1,908 on July 21, 2020 in exchange for 393,246 restricted common shares and 126,263 five-year warrants with an exercise price of $0.396 per share.


On April 13, 2020, the Company entered into several convertible promissory notes. The Company issued convertible notes payable in exchange for $100,000 bearing an interest rate of 12% per annum and payable in six months. At the option of the holders, the principal and accrued interest may be converted to shares of common stock at a conversion rate of $0.092 per share. At the time of conversion, the Company shall immediately also issue an equal amount of five-year warrants to purchase common stock of the Company, at an exercise price of $0.312 per share.

NOTE 7 – NOTES PAYABLE


Notes payable totaled $147,128 and $219,617 at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.


Due to the ongoing uncertainty about the severity and duration associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company considered furloughing or eliminating employees and taking other measures to reduce operating costs until there is more certainty about the short-term and long-term effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the nation’s economy and the Company’s business. On May 1, 2020, the Company entered a promissory note agreement with its bank in exchange for $123,318 bearing an interest rate of 1.0% per annum. The loan was made pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program under the CARES Act after receiving confirmation from the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”). The note contains a deferment period of six months from the date of funding. After sixty, but not more than ninety, days from the date of funding, the Company can apply to the bank for loan forgiveness. The bank will then request confirmation from the SBA. If the SBA confirms full and complete loan forgiveness, the Company’s obligation under the note will be deemed fully satisfied and paid in full. If the SBA denies full and complete loan forgiveness or only partly confirms forgiveness, the Company will be obligated to repay the bank for the total outstanding balance of the note, including principal and interest. The bank will establish terms, including monthly payments based on a maturity of two years from the date of funding and not more than 1.0% interest per annum. No principal or interest payments will be due prior to the end of the six-month deferment period. The Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act requires that the funds be used to maintain the current number of employees as well as cover payroll-related costs, monthly mortgage or rent payments and utilities and not more than 40% can be expended on non-payroll-related costs. After providing documented evidence of the number of employees and the use of funds, the SBA will provide loan forgiveness for the documented costs.


On July 8, 2020, the Company negotiated with an accredited investor who holds several demand notes payable to agree to settle the remaining principal balance of $191,965 and accrued interest of $15,729 for $150,000 of restricted common shares.  The remaining balance of $57,694 was forgiven.  The conversion price of $0.132 per share was agreed upon for 1,136,364 restricted common shares and an equal amount of five-year warrants with an exercise price of $0.396 per share.


Interest expense for the Company’s notes payable for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $1,405 and $6,110, respectively, compared to $2,410 and $4,892 to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. Accrued interest for the Company’s notes payable at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was $580 and $11,244, respectively.


NOTE 8 – NOTES PAYABLE – RELATED PARTY


Related party notes payable totaled $0 at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

NOTE 9 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES


Legal Matters


In the ordinary course of operations, the Company may become a party to legal proceedings. Based upon information currently available, management believes that such legal proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, cash flows, or results of operations except as provided below.


CalSTRS Judgement


On March 31, 2014, the Company received a “Notice of Default” letter from legal counsel representing the California State Teachers Retirement System (“CalSTRS”) (the landlord for the Company’s office space) alerting that the Company was in default of its lease for failure to pay monthly rent for the office space located at 2400 East Commercial Boulevard, Suite 612, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33304. The letter demanded immediate payment of $41,937 for rent past due as of April 1, 2014. The Company had indicated in writing its intention to cooperate with the landlord while trying to resolve the matter. On February 11, 2015, the landlord, through its attorneys, filed a motion for summary judgment. The motion asked for $376,424 in unpaid rent, recovery of abated rents and tenant improvements and $12,442 in attorney’s costs incurred by the landlord. On April 22, 2015, the motion for unpaid rent, recovery of abated rents and tenant improvements and attorney’s costs was granted by the Circuit Court of the 17th Judicial Circuit in and for Broward County and the Company has reserved the entire judgement of $388,866. The total amount is accruing interest at the statutory rate of 4.75%.  The accrued interest on the judgement at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 is $100,605 and $86,739, respectively.


RAW Materials Litigation


On or about August 28, 2018, Raw Energy Materials Corp. filed an action for declaratory relief and breach of contract in Broward County, Florida, in the 17th Judicial Circuit Court, titled Raw Energy Materials Corp. v. Rockstar Acquisitions, LLC, Paymeon, Inc. (now Basanite, Inc.), and Basalt America, LLC, CASE NO.: CACE 18-020596.


An Amended Complaint was filed on or about December 19, 2018 adding Basanite Industries, LLC as a defendant, as well as an alleged claim under Florida Statute Section 501.201 and for injunction.  The Company continues to contest plaintiff's claims vigorously.


The Company filed and has pending an amended counterclaim for breach of contract, fraud and civil conspiracy against Raw Energy affiliates, including Don Smith, his longtime girlfriend Elina Jenkins, Global Energy Sciences, LLC, Yellow Turtle Design, LLC, as well as former business affiliates/associates to Don Smith, Richard Laurin and Robert Ludwig.  A response was ordered to be filed by December 7, 2020.


The nature of the dispute is based on representations (or misrepresentations) the Company alleges were made to it, as well as breaches of the terms of a licensing agreement, related consulting and other agreements, and failures and refusals of Plaintiff and Don Smith related entities to deliver equipment/machinery and goods paid for by the Company or its affiliates.


As it became apparent that the subject license agreement was effectively worthless and moot to the Company, and the purported and promised trade secrets and intellectual property were essentially non-existent, the Company and Plaintiff agree to an order terminating that license agreement, which resulted in the Agreed Order dated January 28, 2019.


The parties continue to litigate damages arising from the dispute.


 A hearing is scheduled on November 23, 2020 for a Motion to Compel the plaintiff's prior counsel, Michael Flam, to produce documents in response to a subpoena.

HLM Paymeon Storefront Damage Settlement


On December 15, 2016, a third-party driver drove his car through the Company’s retail storefront located at 2599 N. Federal Highway, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33305. The accident caused severe damage to the building causing the city of Fort Lauderdale to declare the building an unsafe structure. The Company was forced to vacate the premises, therefore, terminating the lease. The damaged storefront and terminated lease effectively terminated the business. On August 3, 2017, the Company filed a complaint with the Circuit Court of the 17th Judicial Circuit in and for Broward County, Florida for loss of income, beneficial lease and debt to the sub-landlord. On February 26, 2020, the Company was able to settle for $125,000 in exchange for a Complete Release for All Claims against all parties named in the case. The case was taken on a contingency basis by its attorney, therefore, reducing the settlement proceeds by 40% and related expenses. The Company received $70,817 in net proceeds on March 18, 2020 represented by the gain on settlement of lawsuit.


Lustig Litigation


In reviewing court records recently (late in 2020), counsel for the Company found names of its affiliates in a case filed in 2018 by Stephen Lustig against one of the Company's shareholders. The Company and its affiliates were not served and made a party to that case; and were listed as an attempt by Mr. Lustig to execute, attach or foreclosure on the defendant shareholder's stock in the Company. The Company did not breach any agreement and was not engaged in any wrongdoing. The Company is informed that the subject shareholder has made contact with Mr. Lustig and a resolution between them and a dismissal with prejudice is expected to be forthcoming.

NOTE 12 – INCOME TAXES


The Coronavirus Aid and Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) enacted on March 27, 2020 provided relief for individuals and businesses as a result of COVID-19 and its impact on the economy.  The CARES Act provided for additional relief for businesses by amending the net operating loss (“NOL”) rules.  The amendment allows for the carryback of NOLs to each of the five taxable years preceding the taxable year in which the loss arises.  Since the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“TCJA”), NOLs generally could not be carried back but could be carried forward indefinitely. Further, the TCJA limited NOL absorption to 80% of taxable income. The CARES Act temporarily removes the 80% limitation, reinstating it for tax years beginning after 2020.  This amendment does not currently benefit the Company as it has sustained losses in those years.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Forward-Looking Statements


This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on our management’s beliefs, assumptions and expectations and on information currently available to our management. Generally, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “projects,” “predicts,” “potential” and similar expressions intended to identify forward-looking statements, which generally are not historical in nature. All statements that address operating or financial performance, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future are forward-looking statements, including without limitation our expectations with respect to product sales, future financings, or the commercial success of our products.

We may not actually achieve the plans, projections or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements, and actual results, developments or events could differ materially from those disclosed in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including without limitation those described from time to time in our future reports filed with the SEC.


The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.


Basanite and its wholly owned subsidiaries are herein referred to as the "Company", “we”, “our”, or “us”.


Overview


This overview provides a high-level discussion of our operating results and some of the trends that affect our business. We believe that an understanding of these trends is important to understand our financial results for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. This summary is not intended to be exhaustive, nor is it intended to be a substitute for the detailed discussion and analysis provided elsewhere in this report, and our audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2019 filed with the SEC on April 6, 2020.


The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Basanite Industries, LLC (“BI”) manufactures BasaFlex™, a basalt fiber reinforced polymer (“BFRP”) rebar. BFRP rebar is a stronger, lighter, sustainable, non-conductive and non-corrosive alternative for traditional steel rebar and wire mesh.  BI leases a fully permitted and Underwriters Laboratories (“UL”) approved 36,900 square foot facility located in Pompano Beach, Florida, equipped with five customized Pultrusion machines.  Each machine has two linear production lines (a total capacity of 10 manufacturing lines).  BI’s operations team is currently in the processes of optimizing and scaling the manufacturing plant to produce 11,000 to 17,000 linear feet of BFRP rebar per line, per day, depending on the product mix. BI’s own fully equipped Test Lab is utilized to evaluate, validate and verify each products performance attributes.


The manufacture of concrete reinforcement products made from continuous basalt fiber create substantial benefits for the construction industry, including but not limited to, the following:


·

BasaFlex never rusts  steel reinforcement products rust, causing time and repair costs down the road;

·

BasaFlex is sustainable; with a longer lifecycle  production of our products results in exceptionally low carbon footprint when compared with steel. The lack of corrosion allows the lifespan of concrete products to be significantly longer; and

·

BasaFlex has a lower final, in place cost the physical nature of our products relative to steel (4X lighter, easily transportable, coil-able, safer and easier to use) reduces the all-in cost of reinforcement when all factors are considered.




20



 


We believe that macroeconomic factors are pressuring the construction industry to consider the use of alternative reinforcement materials for the following reasons: the increasing need for global infrastructure repair; recent design trends towards increasing the lifespan of projects and materials; and increasing consideration of the long-term costs and environmental impacts of material selections.  We believe we are well positioned to benefit from this renewed focus, although it is difficult to determine at this point what the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic to the construction industry.


Basanite Industries submitted its first round of BasaFlex™ (Basalt Fiber Reinforced Polymer) rebar products to the Structures and Materials Department of the University of Miami (UM), Miami, Florida, an industry accredited independent testing laboratory, to obtain a Certified Test Report which allows Basanite to participate in approved fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) applications, such as precast, architectural, flatwork and other non-structural engineered applications.  On May 29th, 2020, a Certified Test Report was submitted to Basanite for engineering use.  Basanite Industries has submitted a second round of BasaFlex™ rebars for additional testing, that will further certify and qualify BasaFlex™ for Federal and state government applications, to the University of Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada.  Basanite expects the results to be superior to the first round of testing.  


The Company announced November 12, 2020 that it had reached full operational status.  Further, in response to strong market demand, the Company plans to accelerate its growth plans, starting with a major expansion of its Pompano Beach manufacturing facility in 2021.


In the middle of August of 2020, Basanite began scaling manufacturing operations and commenced the manufacture of its initial stock of inventory of BasaFlex™, its proprietary basalt FRP.  Also during this timeframe, the Company filled key positions within its production facility and reached its primary goal of full capacity single shift operations.  Basanite has begun selling across its complete product line and is currently working on securing larger orders for next year.  The Company has also been preparing multiple test articles for customers who are now conducting testing for specific applications.  Based on market demand, Basanite is now working towards beginning two shift operations early in the new year.


Management has also been recruiting key positions in the Company, focused initially on product development; driving sales growth; and expanding the Company’s market presence.  Our hiring focused on key areas of excellence, including quality assurance; operations and other technical resources; engineering; and sales and marketing.  Basanite has completed its initial hiring plan of recruiting and hiring the following key personnel for leadership positions, with over 140 years of industry experience in the industry combined:


Vesna Stanic, PhD

Director of Quality Assurance

Brian Metrocavage

Director of Technical Sales

Bob Robbins

Director of Business Development

Jesus Escalona

Structural / Civil Engineer

Eduardo Acosta

Structural / Civil Engineer

Jorge Angulo

Director of Operations


Earlier in 2020, Basanite contracted with an independent software company to develop BasaPro™, a design software specifically for use with BasaFlex™.  This development effort has been completed and the operational software is being installed at Basanite this month.  The software will allow both Basanite’s engineers and Basanite’s customers to normalize the use of BasaFlex™ in place of steel rebar in all types of concrete applications.  It allows for both the conversion to BasaFlex™ from steel in existing concrete designs, or for original designs using BasaFlex™, and is based upon the application of ACI 440 and ACI 318 standards.  The software is capable of showing all calculations and pictorial design work in conjunction with applicable building codes.  This means Basanite can now communicate with the design community in their own language.


Basanite has been receiving multiple inquiries from a range of customers for its products, including very high levels of market interest for BasaFlex™.  A large portion of these inquiries are for very large potential orders for new construction.  However, these orders would be problematic to undertake at our current capacity and there is no guaranty that these orders will actually be made.  However, Basanite plans to expand its production capabilities at the Pompano Beach facility, with the initial goal of reaching 5 times its current capabilities by Q3 of 2021, and ultimately 7 times its current capacity by 2022. As part of this expansion plan, Basanite is developing customized manufacturing equipment, specifically designed for the manufacture of BasaFlex™ using Basanite’s patent pending process.  A version of this equipment will offer double the capacity of our current equipment (per machine), and each machine will run significantly faster.  A prototype is expected to be available for testing in Pompano Beach during Q1 of 2021.  Based on a successful trial, Basanite is planning a plant expansion involving 10 of these new machines, with a goal of being fully operational in Q3 of 2021.

Results of Operations


Revenue – The Company had $2,408 and $4,626 of revenues as a result of sales of finished goods sold for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $994 and $3,892, respectively for the same period in the prior year. Revenues have been minimal as a result of the Company’s shift in focus to the scaling of production and inventory during both periods.


Cost of Goods Sold


During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company had cost of sales of $919 and $3,065 compared to $31,295 and $85,953, respectively for the same period in the prior year. Cost of goods sold consisted of the following:

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company had a gross margin from operations in the amount of $1,489 and $1,561 compared to a negative gross margin from operations in the amount of $30,301 and $82,061, respectively for the same period in the prior year. The Company has small margins as they sold existing inventory while preparing for the scaling the manufacture of BasaFlex™.  In the same period in the prior year, the Company lost money on a gross margin basis due to inefficiencies in the start-up process and extremely narrow margins on the initial sales of like products.  In the future, as the Company's product gains acceptance, it is expected for margins to increase.


Operating Expenses


Professional fees – During the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 professional fees were $127,294 compared to $68,927 for the same period in the prior year. The Company had paid similar amounts for accounting services but has increases fees as it relates to legal fees with the ongoing litigation and new supplier and consulting agreements as it tries to secure relationships in the industry.


During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, professional fees were $290,168 compared to $283,200 for the same period in the prior year. The increased cost was due to higher legal expense in the current period resulting from legal fees as noted above.


Payroll and payroll taxes – During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, payroll and payroll taxes were $107,284 and $507,170 compared to $287,355 and $604,664 in the prior year.  The decrease was due to the termination of the prior CEO in the first quarter of 2020 and the resignation of the CFO in the second quarter of 2020 compared to both being employed during the same period in the prior year.


Consulting - During the three months ended September 30, 2020, consulting fees were $71,260 and $375 for the same period in the prior year. The increase is due to consulting agreements for senior management.


During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, consulting fees were $170,198 compared to $216,465 for the same period in the prior year. The decrease was due to the Company having amounts paid under several consulting agreements to senior management.


General and administrative – During the three months ended September 30, 2020, general and administrative expenses were $402,217 compared to $470,955 for the same period in the prior year. The decrease is largely due to the stock-based compensation expense in the prior year of $252,510 offset by the increase in overall general and administrative costs, including but not limited to, supplies, computers, furniture and other overhead costs.



22



 


During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, general and administrative expenses were $903,279 compared to $1,960,484 for the same period in the prior year. The decrease is largely due to the stock-based compensation expense in the prior year of $1,371,847 off set by the increase in overall general and administrative costs.


Other Income


Disposition of fixed asset - During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company had a gain of $40,838 for both periods compared to a $0 and $700 in the prior year.  The increase in gain is due to the sale of an asset during the quarter.


Miscellaneous income - During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, miscellaneous income was $0 and $70,817 as a result of a gain on the settlement of a lawsuit of compared to $257 and $1,531 for the same period in the prior year. The increase is due to the net settlement of $125,000 less the contingency fee and expenses paid to the attorney for the HLM Storefront litigation.


Gain on settlement of payable - During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company had a gain of $292,112 for both periods as compared to $64,050 and $201,547 for the same period in the prior year.   The gain in the current periods is due to the forgiveness by prior management of accrued wages and related expenses whereas in the prior year, the gain is largely due to the writing off of several payables that had exceeded their statute of limitations for collection.


Gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt - During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company had a loss of $63,914 and $62,934 from the extinguishment of debt compared to $0 and a gain of $2,886 for the same periods in the prior year.  The increase in losses is due to the settlement of various long-standing debts for restricted common shares.


Other Expenses


Impairment of fixed asset - During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company had no gain or loss for both periods compared to a $0 and loss of $1,478 in the prior year.


Interest expense - During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, interest expense was $550,094 and $801,925 compared to $25,569 and $72,711, respectively, for the same period in the prior year. The increase is mainly due to the amortization of the debt discounts recorded for the convertible debt.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


Since inception, the Company has incurred net operating losses and used cash in operations. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $27,774,402. The Company has incurred general and administrative expenses associated with its product development and compliance while concurrently preparing the facility and further developing the manufacturing business. We expect operating losses to continue in the short term and require additional financing for continued support of our BFRP manufacturing business until the Company can generate sufficient revenues and positive cash flow. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  


We have historically satisfied our working capital requirements through the sale of restricted common stock and the issuance of warrants and promissory notes.  We will continue our efforts until we have can obtain positive cash flow to cover our expenses.


At September 30, 2020, the Company had cash of $575,912 compared to $129,152 at December 31, 2019.


Notwithstanding the proceeds from the sale of our common stock this year, current working capital is not sufficient to maintain our current operations, and there is no assurance that sales efforts will be successful enough in the near term to achieve the level of revenue sufficient to provide positive cash flow. To the extent such revenues and corresponding cash flows do not materialize, we will continue working towards securing more working capital with a preference towards debt which may be convertible to equity. We cannot provide any assurances that required capital will be obtained or that the terms of such required capital may be acceptable to us. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing, we may reduce our operating activities until sufficient funding is secured or revenues are generated to support operating activities.




23



 


Cash Flows

 

Net cash used in operating activities amounted to $1,612,928 and $1,760,258 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.


During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we used $115,956 net cash for investing activities compared to $494,532 used in the same period in the prior fiscal year for the modifications and UL listing of the production machinery and the final payments for the enhancements made to our production facility as compared to the deposits made on machinery and equipment.


During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we had $2,175,644 net cash provided by financing activities compared to $2,397,418 in the prior year.  Issuance of common shares for $684,167, borrowing of $1,886,727 from the issuance of convertible and short-term notes payable, including from related parties; less $348,000 of partial and full repayment of convertible notes; and less $47,250 of partial repayment of notes payable provided the net cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.  We also issued common shares for $2,262,748, borrowing of $284,300 from the issuance of convertible and short-term notes payable, including from related parties; less $35,000 of partial repayment of a convertible note; less $54,704 of full repayment of a related party convertible note; less $50,000 of full repayment of a demand note payable less $9,926 of partial repayment of a note payable provided the net cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.


We do not believe that our cash on hand as of September 30, 2020 will be sufficient to fund our current working capital requirements to the point where we are generating positive cash flow. We have recently entered into several convertible promissory notes to help fund operations and will require additional working capital in the short term.  We continue working towards securing more working capital with a preference towards debt which may be convertible to equity. However, there is no assurance that we will be successful in our efforts or, if we are, that the terms will be beneficial to our shareholders.


Risk Factors


Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risk factors included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 filed with the SEC on April 6, 2020, before deciding whether to invest in the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us, or that we currently deem immaterial, may also impair our business operations or our financial condition.


ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK


Not applicable to smaller reporting companies.


ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) that are designed to be effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.


The Company’s management, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2020.


During our assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2020 management identified material weaknesses related to (i) the U.S. GAAP expertise and experience of our internal accounting personnel and (ii) a lack of segregation of duties within accounting functions. As a result of these material weaknesses, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of September 30, 2020.




24



 


Because of its inherent limitations, however, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. 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 and procedures may deteriorate.


Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting


No change in our system of internal control over financial reporting occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. – OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS


Legal Matters


In the ordinary course of operations, the Company may become a party to legal proceedings. Based upon information currently available, management believes that such legal proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, cash flows, or results of operations except as provided below.


CalSTRS Judgement


On March 31, 2014, the Company received a “Notice of Default” letter from legal counsel representing the California State Teachers Retirement System (“CalSTRS”) (the landlord for the Company’s office space) alerting that the Company was in default of its lease for failure to pay monthly rent for the office space located at 2400 East Commercial Boulevard, Suite 612, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33304. The letter demanded immediate payment of $41,937 for rent past due as of April 1, 2014. The Company had indicated in writing its intention to cooperate with the landlord while trying to resolve the matter. On February 11, 2015, the landlord, through its attorneys, filed a motion for summary judgment. The motion asked for $376,424 in unpaid rent, recovery of abated rents and tenant improvements and $12,442 in attorney’s costs incurred by the landlord. On April 22, 2015, the motion for unpaid rent, recovery of abated rents and tenant improvements and attorney’s costs was granted by the Circuit Court of the 17th Judicial Circuit in and for Broward County and the Company has reserved the entire judgement of $388,866. The total amount is accruing interest at the statutory rate of 4.75%.  The accrued interest on the judgement at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 is $100,605 and $86,739, respectively.


RAW Materials Litigation


On or about August 28, 2018, Raw Energy Materials Corp. filed an action for declaratory relief and breach of contract in Broward County, Florida, in the 17th Judicial Circuit Court, titled Raw Energy Materials Corp. v. Rockstar Acquisitions, LLC, Paymeon, Inc. (now Basanite, Inc.), and Basalt America, LLC, CASE NO.: CACE 18-020596.


An Amended Complaint was filed on or about December 19, 2018 adding Basanite Industries, LLC as a defendant, as well as an alleged claim under Florida Statute Section 501.201 and for injunction.  The Company continues to contest plaintiff's claims vigorously.


The Company filed and has pending an amended counterclaim for Breach of Contract, Fraud and Civil Conspiracy against Raw Energy affiliates, including Don Smith, his longtime girlfriend Elina Jenkins, Global Energy Sciences, LLC, Yellow Turtle Design, LLC, as well as former business affiliates/associates to Don Smith, Richard Laurin and Robert Ludwig.  A response was ordered to be filed by December 7, 2020.


The nature of the dispute is based on representations (or misrepresentations) the Company alleges were made to it, as well as breaches of the terms of a licensing agreement, related consulting and other agreements, and failures and refusals of Plaintiff and Don Smith related entities to deliver equipment/machinery and goods paid for by the Company or its affiliates.


As it became apparent that the subject license agreement was effectively worthless and moot to the Company, and the purported and promised trade secrets and intellectual property were essentially non-existent, the Company and Plaintiff agree to an order terminating that license agreement, which resulted in the Agreed Order dated January 28, 2019.


The parties continue to litigate damages arising from the dispute.


 A hearing is scheduled on November 23, 2020 for a Motion to Compel the plaintiff's prior counsel, Michael Flam, to produce documents in response to a subpoena.

Legal Matters (continued)


HLM Paymeon Storefront Damage Settlement


On December 15, 2016, a third-party driver drove his car through the Company’s retail storefront located at 2599 N. Federal Highway, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33305.  The accident caused severe damage to the building causing the city of Fort Lauderdale to declare the building an unsafe structure.  The Company was forced to vacate the premises, therefore, terminating the lease.  The damaged storefront and terminated lease effectively terminated the business.  On August 3, 2017, the Company filed a complaint with the Circuit Court of the 17th Judicial Circuit in and for Broward County, Florida for loss of income, beneficial lease and debt to the sub-landlord.  On February 26, 2020, the Company was able to settle for $125,000 in exchange for a Complete Release for All Claims against all parties named in the case.  The case was taken on a contingency basis by its attorney, therefore, reducing the settlement proceeds by 40% and related expenses.  The Company received $70,817 in net proceeds on March 18, 2020 represented by the gain on settlement of lawsuit.


Lustig Litigation


In reviewing court records recently (late in 2020), counsel for the Company found names of its affiliates in a case filed in 2018 by Stephen Lustig against one of the Company's shareholders. The Company and its affiliates were not served and made a party to that case; and were listed as an attempt by Mr. Lustig to execute, attach or foreclosure on the defendant shareholder's stock in the Company. The Company did not breach any agreement and was not engaged in any wrongdoing. The Company is informed that the subject shareholder has made contact with Mr. Lustig and a resolution between them and a dismissal with prejudice is expected to be forthcoming.
