SusGlobal Energy Corp.
Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2021 and 2020
(Expressed in United States Dollars)
(unaudited)

 

 

1. Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation

SusGlobal Energy Corp. ("SusGlobal") was formed by articles of amalgamation on December 3, 2014, in the Province of Ontario, Canada and its executive office is in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. SusGlobal, a company in the start-up stages and Commandcredit Corp. ("Commandcredit"), an inactive Canadian public company, amalgamated to continue business under the name of SusGlobal Energy Corp.

On May 23, 2017, SusGlobal filed an Application for Authorization to continue in another Jurisdiction with the Ministry of Government Services in Ontario and a certificate of corporate domestication and certificate of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware under which it changed its jurisdiction of incorporation from Ontario to the State of Delaware (the "Domestication"). In connection with the Domestication each of the currently issued and outstanding common shares were automatically converted on a one-for-one basis into common shares compliant with the laws of the state of Delaware (the "Shares"). As a result of the Domestication, pursuant to Section 388 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "DGCL"), SusGlobal continued its existence under the DGCL as a corporation incorporated in the State of Delaware. The business, assets and liabilities of SusGlobal and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, as well as its principal location and fiscal year, were the same immediately after the Domestication as they were immediately prior to the Domestication. SusGlobal filed a Registration Statement on Form S-4 to register the Shares and this registration statement was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 23, 2017.

On December 11, 2018, the Company began trading on the OTCQB venture market exchange, under the ticker symbol SNRG.

SusGlobal is a renewables company focused on acquiring, developing and monetizing a global portfolio of proprietary technologies in the waste to energy and regenerative products application.

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements of SusGlobal and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, SusGlobal Energy Canada Corp. (“SECC”), SusGlobal Energy Canada I Ltd. ("SGECI"), SusGlobal Energy Belleville Ltd. ("SGEBL") and 1684567 Ontario Inc. ("1684567") (together, the "Company"), have been prepared following generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("US GAAP") for interim financial information and the Securities Exchange Commission ("SEC") instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of SEC Regulation S-X, and are expressed in United States Dollars. The Company's functional currency is the Canadian Dollar ("C$"). In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

2. Going Concern

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations for the next twelve months.

The Company incurred a net loss of $306,335 (2020-$755,290) for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and as at that date had a working capital deficit of $8,436,550 (December 31, 2020-$9,830,314) and an accumulated deficit of $13,775,129 (December 31, 2020-$13,468,794) and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business.



SusGlobal Energy Corp.
Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2021 and 2020
(Expressed in United States Dollars)
(unaudited)

2. Going Concern, (continued)

On February 18, 2021, PACE and the Company reached a new agreement to repay all amounts owing to PACE on or before July 30, 2021. Management continues discussions with equity investors and a Canadian chartered bank to re-finance its remaining obligations to PACE and repay other creditors. 

These factors cast substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, which is dependent upon its ability to obtain the necessary financing to further the development of its business, satisfy its obligations to PACE and its other creditors, whose debts are also in default, and upon achieving profitable operations. There is no assurance of funding being available or available on acceptable terms. Realization values may be substantially different from carrying values as shown.

Beginning in March 2020 the Governments of Canada and Ontario, as well as foreign governments, instituted emergency measures as a result of the novel strain of coronavirus ("COVID-19"). The virus has had a major impact on Canadian and international securities and currency markets and consumer activity which may impact the Company's financial position, its results of operations and its cash flows significantly. The situation is constantly evolving, however, so the extent to which the COVID-19 outbreak will impact businesses and the economy is highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. Accordingly, the Company cannot predict the extent to which its financial position, results of operations and cash flows will be affected in the future.

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result if the Company was unable to continue as a going concern.

3. Significant Accounting Policies

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 and their accompanying notes.

4. Financial Instruments

The carrying value of cash, trade receivables, other receivables, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and deferred revenue approximated their fair values as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, due to their short-term nature. The carrying value of the advance, long-term debt, obligations under capital lease, convertible promissory notes and loan payable to related party approximated their fair values due to their market interest rates.

Interest, Credit and Concentration Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk borne by an interest-bearing asset or liability as a result of fluctuations in interest rates. Financial assets and financial liabilities with variable interest rates expose the Company to cash flow interest rate risk.

Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2021 and 2020

4. Financial Instruments, (continued)

The Company is exposed to significant interest rate risk on the current portion of its long-term debt and a portion of its convertible promissory notes of $6,583,823 (C$8,279,455) (2020-$6,327,520; C$8,056,430).

Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with a counterparty's inability to perform its payment obligations. As at March 31, 2021, the Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to cash and trade receivables.  As at March 31, 2021, 2021, the Company's cash was held with reputable Canadian chartered banks, a credit union and a United States of America bank.

With regards to credit risk with customers, the customers' credit evaluation is reviewed by management and account monitoring procedures are used to minimize the risk of loss. The Company believes that no additional credit risk beyond amounts provided for by the allowance for doubtful accounts are inherent in accounts receivable. As at March 31, 2021, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $nil (C$nil) (December 31, 2020-$nil; C$nil).

As at March 31, 2021, the Company is exposed to concentration risk as it had three customers (December 31, 2020-five customers) representing greater than 5% of total trade receivables and three customers (December 31, 2020-five customers) represented 82% (December 31, 2020-96%) of trade receivables. The Company had certain customers whose revenue individually represented 10% or more of the Company's total revenue. These customers accounted for 82% (39%, 26% and 17%) (March 31, 2020-86%; 27%, 14%, 12%, 12%, 11% and 10%) of total revenue.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company is unable to meet its obligations as they fall due. The Company takes steps to ensure it has sufficient working capital and available sources of financing to meet future cash requirements for capital programs and operations. Management is in discussions with a Canadian chartered bank to refinance its obligations to PACE and repay other creditors. Refer also to going concern, note 2.

The Company actively monitors its liquidity to ensure that its cash flows and working capital are adequate to support its financial obligations and the Company's capital programs. In order to continue operations, the Company will need to raise capital, repay PACE for all of its outstanding obligations by July 30, 2021 and complete the refinancing of its real property and organic waste processing and composting facility. There is no assurance of funding being available or available on acceptable terms. Realization values may be substantially different from carrying values as shown. Refer also to going concern, note 2.

Currency Risk

Although the Company's functional currency is the C$, the Company realizes a portion of its expenses in United States Dollars ("$"). Consequently, certain assets and liabilities are exposed to foreign currency fluctuations. As at March 31, 2021, $61,849 (December 31, 2020-$527,847, net monetary liabilities) of the Company's net monetary assets were denominated in $. The Company has not entered into any hedging transactions to reduce the exposure to currency risk.

In addition, if 75% of the loans are repaid by the initial term, December 31, 2022, the Company's Canadian chartered bank will forgive the balance. The CEBA term loan agreements contain a number of positive and negative covenants, for which the Company is not in full compliance.

(a)

On March 7 and March 8, 2019, the Company entered into two securities purchase agreements (the "March 2019 SPAs") with two investors (the "March 2019 Investors") pursuant to which the Company issued to each March 2019 Investor two 12% unsecured convertible promissory notes comprised of the first notes (the "First Notes") being in the amount of $275,000 each, and the remaining notes in the amount of $275,000 each (the "Back-End Notes," and, together with the First Notes, the "March 2019 Investor Notes") in the aggregate principal amount of $1,100,000, with such principal and the interest thereon convertible into Common Stock at the March 2019 Investors' option. Each First Note contains a $25,000 Original Issue Discount such that the issue price of each First Note was $250,000. The proceeds on the issuance of the First Notes were received from the March 2019 Investors upon the signing of the March 2019 SPAs. The proceeds on the issuance of the Back-End Notes were initially received by the issuance of two offsetting $250,000 secured notes to the Company by the March 2019 Investors (the "Buyer Notes"), provided that prior to conversion of the Back-End Notes, the March 2019 Investors must have paid back the Back-End Notes in cash.

Although the March 2019 SPAs are dated March 7, 2019 and March 8, 2019 (each, a "March 2019 Effective Date"), they became effective upon the receipt in cash of the issue price by the March 2019 Investors. On March 11, 2019, the Company received cash of $456,000, net of transaction-related expenses, for the First Notes from the March 2019 Investors.

On April 24, 2019, the Company received one of the Back-End Notes from the March 2019 Investors in the face value amount of $275,000. The proceeds received by the Company was $228,000, net of $25,000 discount and financing costs. The maturity dates of the March 2019 Investor Notes were March 7, 2020 and March 8, 2020. The March 2019 Investor Notes bear interest at a rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum (the "March 2019 Interest Rate"), which interest shall be paid by the Company to the March 2019 Investors in Common Stock at any time the March 2019 Investors send a notice of conversion to the Company.

11. Convertible Promissory Notes, (continued)

 

The March 2019 Investors are entitled to, at their option, convert all or any amount of the principal face amount and any accrued but unpaid interest of the March 2019 Investor Notes into Common Stock, at any time, at a conversion price for each share of the Company.

Common Stock equal to 65% multiplied by the lowest trading price (as defined in the Notes) of the Common Stock as reported on the National Quotations Bureau OTC Marketplace exchange upon which the Company's shares are traded during the twenty (20) consecutive Trading Day period immediately preceding (i) the applicable March 2019 Effective Date; or (ii) the conversion date.

The Company reserved a minimum of eight (8) times the number of its authorized and unissued Common Stock (the "March 2019 Reserved Amounts"), free from pre-emptive rights, to provide for the issuance of Common Stock upon the full conversion of the March 2019 Investor Notes.

OVERVIEW

The following organization chart sets forth our wholly-owned subsidiaries:



SusGlobal Energy Corp. ("SusGlobal") was formed by articles of amalgamation on December 3, 2014, in the Province of Ontario, Canada and its executive office is in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. SusGlobal, a company in the start-up stages and Commandcredit Corp. ("Commandcredit"), an inactive Canadian public company, amalgamated to continue business under the name of SusGlobal Energy Corp.

On May 23, 2017, SusGlobal filed an Application for Authorization to continue in another Jurisdiction with the Ministry of Government Services in Ontario and a certificate of corporate domestication and certificate of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware under which it changed its jurisdiction of incorporation from Ontario to the State of Delaware (the "Domestication"). In connection with the Domestication each of the currently issued and outstanding common shares were automatically converted on a one-for-one basis into common shares compliant with the laws of the state of Delaware (the "Shares"). As a result of the Domestication, pursuant to Section 388 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "DGCL"), SusGlobal continued its existence under the DGCL as a corporation incorporated in the State of Delaware. The business, assets and liabilities of SusGlobal and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, as well as its principal location and fiscal year, were the same immediately after the Domestication as they were immediately prior to the Domestication. SusGlobal filed a Registration Statement on Form S-4 to register the Shares and this registration statement was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 23, 2017.

On December 11, 2018, the Company began trading on the OTCQB venture market exchange, under the ticker symbol SNRG.

When the terms "the Company," "we," "us" or "our" are used in this document, those terms refer to SusGlobal Energy Corp., and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, SusGlobal Energy Canada Corp., SusGlobal Energy Canada I Ltd. and SusGlobal Energy Belleville Ltd.

SusGlobal is a renewables company focused on acquiring, developing and monetizing a global portfolio of proprietary technologies in the waste to energy and regenerative products application.

With the growing amount of organic wastes being produced by society as a whole, a solution for sustainable global management of these wastes must be achieved. SusGlobal through its proprietary technology and processes is equipped and confident to deliver this objective. Management believes renewable energy is the energy of the future. Sources of this type of energy are more evenly distributed over the earth's surface than finite energy sources, making it an attractive alternative to petroleum-based energy. Biomass, one of the renewable resources, is derived from organic material such as forestry, food, plant and animal residuals. SusGlobal can therefore help you turn what many consider waste into precious energy and regenerative products. The portfolio will be comprised of four distinct types of technologies: (a) Process Source Separated Organics ("SSO") in anaerobic digesters to divert from landfills and recover biogas. This biogas can be converted to gaseous fuel for industrial processes, electricity to the grid or cleaned for compressed renewable gas. (b) Increasing the capacity of existing infrastructure (anaerobic digesters) to allow processing of SSO to increase biogas yield. (c) Utilize recycled plastics to produce liquid fuels and (d) process SSO and digestate to produce an organic compost or a pathogen free organic liquid fertilizer. The convertibility of organic material into valuable end products such as biogas, liquid biofuels, organic fertilizers and compost shows the utility of renewables. These products can be converted into electricity, fuels and marketed to agricultural operations that are looking for an increase in crop yields, soil amendment and environmentally-sound practices. This practice also diverts these materials from landfills and reduces Greenhouse Gas Emissions ("GHG") that result from landfilling organic wastes. The Company can provide peace of mind that the full lifecycle of organic material is achieved, global benefits are realized and stewardship for total sustainability is upheld. It is management's objective to grow SusGlobal into a significant sustainable waste to energy and regenerative products provider, as Leaders in The Circular Economy®.


We believe the project and services offered can benefit both the public and private markets. The following includes some of our work managing organic waste streams: Anaerobic Digestion, Dry Digestion, Biogas Production, Wastewater Treatment, In-Vessel Composting, SSO Treatment, Biosolids Heat Treatment, Leachate Management and Composting.

The Company can provide a full range of services for handling organic residuals in a period where innovation and sustainability are paramount. From start to finish we offer in-depth knowledge, a wealth of experience and cutting-edge technology for handling organic waste.

The primary focus of the services SusGlobal provides includes identifying idle or underutilized anaerobic digesters and integrating our technologies with capital investment to optimizing the operation of the existing digesters to reach their full capacity for processing SSO. Our processes not only divert significant organic waste from landfills, but also result in methane avoidance, with significant GHG reductions from waste disposal. The processes also produce renewable energy through the conversion of wastewater biosolids and organic wastes in the same equipment (co-digestion) and valuable end products such as biogas, electricity and organic fertilizer, both dry and liquid, considered Class AA organic fertilizer.

Currently, the primary customers are municipalities in both rural and urban centers throughout southern and central Ontario, Canada. Where necessary, to be in compliance with provincial and local environmental laws and regulations, SusGlobal submits applications to the respective authorities for approval prior to any necessary engineering being carried out.

The Coronavirus Outbreak (“COVID-19”) May Adversely Affect Our Business Operations and Financial Condition

In December 2019, COVID-19 was reported. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic.  Developments in this area continue daily at the local, provincial and national levels.  The Company has taking steps, consistent with directions from local, provincial and federal authorities, to mitigate known risks with the health and safety of its employees and customers as its first priority. The outbreak of COVID-19 was declared a national emergency. Many provinces and municipalities in Canada, announced aggressive actions to reduce the spread of COVID-19, including limiting non-essential gatherings of people, ceasing all non-essential travel, ordering certain businesses and government agencies to cease non-essential operations at physical locations and issuing "social or physical distancing" orders, which direct individuals to remain at their places of residence (subject to limited exceptions). COVID-19 poses the risk that we or our employees, contractors, customers, government and third-party payors and others may be prevented from conducting business activities for an indefinite period of time, including due to spread of the disease within these groups or due to shutdowns that have been and may continue to be requested or mandated by governmental authorities.


The Company has acted on the aggressive emergency measures set in place by the provincial government and federal authorities, keeping in mind, firstly, the immediate health and safety of our employees and customers. Employees in the head office, located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada had been working remotely for some time or alternating their office time, ensuring there is no more than one employee present, ensuring they are social distancing and wearing protective face covering within the office and elsewhere outside the office, as per the measures set in place by provincial and local authorities. Employees at the site in Belleville, Ontario, Canada, have also been following the same procedures. The Company has prohibited face to face meetings and all meetings are now and for some time, being held by teleconference.

The Company is fortunate that its operations have not been forced to close as we're considered an essential service. In the early stages of COVID-19, the receipt of organic waste had increased, the likely impact of the requirement for the public to stay in their residences, unless they themselves are employed in an essential business or service. A broad, sustained outbreak of COVID-19 will negatively impact our results and financial condition for the following reasons: (i) a large percentage of our customers are municipalities and their limited operations have resulted in a delay in the collection of outstanding receivables in the early months of COVID-19, impacting our cash flows, including the use of cash (ii) members of the board, management or employee team, some of whom are particularly at-risk for the severe symptoms of COVID-19, or of our small number of other employees, may become ill or have family members who are ill and are absent as a result, or they may elect not to come to work due to the illness affecting others in our office or facility (iii) the outbreak may materially impact our operations for a sustained period of time due to the current travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, social or physical distancing orders and shutdowns.

The occurrence of any of the these noted events and potentially others, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The COVID-19 outbreak and mitigation measures have had and may continue to have an adverse impact on global economic conditions which could have an adverse effect on our business and financial condition. The extent to which the COVID-19 outbreak impacts our results will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19, the variants and the actions to contain its impact.

To date, there has been no material impact on the Company's workforce, operations, financial performance, liquidity, or supply chain as a result of COVID-19.  However, the ultimate duration and severity of COVID-19 or its effects on the economy, the capital and credit markets, or the Company's workforce, customers, and suppliers, as well as governmental and regulatory responses, are uncertain.

As a result of COVID-19, the Government of Canada launched the Canada Emergency Business Account (the "CEBA"), a program to ensure that small businesses have access to the capital they need to see them through the current challenges and better position them to quickly return to providing services to their communities and creating employment. The program is administered by Canadian chartered banks and credit unions.

The Company has received a total of $79,520 (C$100,000) under this program, from its Canadian chartered bank.

Under the initial term date of the loans, which is detailed in the CEBA term loan agreements, the amount is due on December 31, 2022 and is interest-free. If the loans are not repaid by December 31, 2022, the Company can make payments, interest only, on a monthly basis at an annual rate of 5%, under the extended term date, beginning January 31, 2023, maturing December 31, 2025.

In addition, if 75% of the loans are repaid by the initial term, December 31, 2022, the Company's Canadian chartered bank will forgive the balance. The CEBA term loan agreements contain a number of positive and negative covenants, for which the Company is not in full compliance.

Treatment of Organic Waste and Septage

On February 28, 2019, the Company announced that it had received the project completion report titled: Development Optimization and Validation of an Innovative Integrated Anaerobic Thermophilic Digester Treatment of Organic Waste and Septage. The report was written by a research team at Fleming College's Centre for Advancement of Water and Wastewater Technologies, located in Lindsay, Ontario, Canada. The collaborative project was supported by the Advancing Water Technologies Program (the "AWT Program") of Southern Ontario Water Consortium. The project focused on the development of a new and innovative technology for handling and processing organic residuals. This new technology utilizes the anaerobic mesophilic digestion process coupled with thermophilic digestion to maximize biogas yields and produce organic fertilizer through optimal operations.

Asset Purchase

On September 15, 2017, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement (the "APA) with Astoria Organic Matters Ltd., and Astoria Organic Matters Canada LP ("Astoria"), pursuant to which the Company purchased certain assets of Astoria from the court appointed receiver of Astoria, BDO Canada Limited (the "Receiver"). The purchase price for the composting buildings, Gore cover system, driveway and paving, office trailer, certain machinery and equipment, computer equipment, computer software and intangible assets (the "Assets") consisted of cash of $3,167,250 (C$4,100,000), funded by PACE and 529,970 restricted common shares of the Company, determined to be valued at $529,970 (C$$700,000) based on private placement pricing at the time. In addition, legal costs of $22,598 (C$29,253) in connection with acquiring the Assets are included in the cost of the organic composting facility. In addition, the Company purchased certain accounts receivable which it was required to collect, totaling $134,529 (C$174,147) and a deposit with a local municipality in the amount of $38,625 (C$50,000).

Other

On May 9, 2017, the company signed a memorandum of agreement with Kentech (the "Kentech Agreement"), a corporation existing under the laws of the province of Ontario, Canada ("Kentech"). The Kentech Agreement provides the Company the right to acquire and the right to use the equipment and innovative processes of Kentech in relation to the production of liquid fertilizer from organic waste material. The Kentech Agreement is for a period of five years, commencing on the date of the Kentech Agreement. The Kentech Agreement may be terminated by either party upon providing six months' notice.

The Company's activities all contribute to GHG reductions, so we will be a key part of Ontario's initiative. The Company has also contacted counterparties in Quebec and California to explore opportunities for relevant projects. SusGlobal is committed to making all its commercial activities carbon neutral. New Cap and Trade regulations became effective January 2017. On July 3, 2018, the new premier of the Province of Ontario announced the end of the Cap-and-Trade program in Ontario. In January 2019, a Climate Change Leadership Team (the "CCLT") was established. The CCLT is a cross-ministry group responsible for embedding climate change in government procurement, building understanding and capacity within government, and creating a process to update internal directives and guidance to help ensure climate change is considered.

Operations

The Company owns the Environmental Compliance Approvals (the "ECAs") issued by the MECP from the Province of Ontario, in place to accept up to 70,000 metric tonnes ("MT") of waste annually from the provinces of Ontario, Quebec and from New York state, and to operate a waste transfer station with the capacity to process up to an additional 50,000 MT of waste annually. Once built, the location of the waste transfer station will be alongside the organic waste processing and composting facility which is currently operating in Belleville, Ontario, Canada.


Waste Transfer Station- Access to the waste transfer station is critical to haulers who collect waste in areas not in close proximity to disposal facilities where such disposal continues to be permitted. Tipping fees charged to third parties at waste transfer stations are usually based on the type and volume or weight of the waste deposited at the waste transfer station, the distance to the disposal site, market rates for disposal costs and other general market factors.

Organic Composting Facility- As noted above, the Company's organic waste processing and composting facility, located in Belleville, Ontario Canada, has ECAs in place to accept up to 70,000 MT of waste annually and is currently in operation. Certain assets of the organic waste processing and composting facility, including the ECAs for the waste transfer station (not yet built), were acquired by the Company on September 15, 2017, from the Receiver for Astoria, under the APA. The Company charges tipping fees for the waste accepted at the organic waste composting facility based on arrangements in place with the customers and the type of waste accepted. Typical waste accepted includes, leaf and yard, biosolids, food, liquid, paper sludge and source separated organics. During three-month period ended March 31, 2021, tipping fees ranged from $55 (C$69) to $118 (C$150) per MT.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of March 31, 2021, the Company had a bank balance of $166,998 (December 31, 2020-$6,457) and current debt obligations and other current liabilities in the amount of $9,432,847 (December 31, 2020-$10,358,212). As at March 31, 2021, the Company had a working capital deficit of $8,436,550 (December 31, 2020-$9,830,314). The Company does not currently have sufficient funds to satisfy the current debt obligations.

On February 18, 2021, PACE and the Company reached a new agreement to repay all amounts owing to PACE on or before July 30, 2021. Management continues discussions with equity investors and a Canadian chartered bank to re-finance its remaining obligations to PACE and repay other creditors. In addition, the letter of credit the Company has with PACE in favor of the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (the "MECP"), was renewed and will remain in effect to September 30, 2021, unless terminated by PACE. On April 3, 2020, the shares previously pledged as security to PACE, were released and are currently held as security for the personal guarantee from the CEO and charge against the Haute leased premises.

The Company's total assets as at March 31, 2021 were $6,108,081 (December 31, 2020-$5,758,303) and total current liabilities were $9,432,847 (December 31, 2020-$10,358,212). Significant losses from operations have been incurred since inception and there is an accumulated deficit of $13,775,129 as at March 31, 2021 (December 31, 2020 -$13,468,794). Continuation as a going concern is dependent upon generating significant new revenue and generating external capital and securing debt to satisfy its creditors' demands and to achieve profitable operations while maintaining current fixed expense levels.

To pay current liabilities and to fund any future operations, the Company requires significant new funds, which the Company may not be able to obtain. In addition to the funds required to liquidate the $9,432,847 in current debt obligations and other current liabilities, the Company estimates that approximately $13,000,000 must be raised to fund capital requirements and general corporate expenses for the next 12 months.

In the normal course of business, we are exposed to market risks, including changes in interest rates, certain commodity prices and Canadian currency rates. The Company does not use derivatives to manage these risks.

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2021, the investors of the unsecured convertible promissory notes, converted a total of $681,000 of their unsecured convertible promissory notes, along with a portion of their accrued interest and related costs of $32,719, a total of $713,719 for 3,175,124 common shares of the Company at prices ranging from $0.156 to $0.26 per share.


As at March 31, 2021, the current and long-term portions of our debt obligations totaled $7,335,890 (December 31, 2020-$7,922,532).

In addition, as at March 31, 2021, the Company had an outstanding letter of credit provided by PACE, in the amount of $220,136 (C$276,831), in favor of the MECP. The letter of credit is a requirement of the MECP and is in connection with the financial assurance provided by the Company, for it to be in compliance with the MECPs environmental objectives. The MECP regularly evaluates the Company's organic waste processing and composting facility to ensure compliance is adhered to and the letter of credit is subject to change by the MECP. The Company is currently updating its financial assurance with the MECP.  The letter of credit was renewed and will remain in effect to September 30, 2021, unless terminated by PACE.

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2021, the Company generated $192,660 of revenue from its organic waste processing and composting facility and its garbage collection operations compared to $350,197 in the three-month period ended March 31, 2020. The reduction in revenue is primarily due to changes in the customer base including an expiring contract at prior year-end and reductions in certain waste disposed of by several customers. The majority of the revenue from the organic waste processing and composting facility relates to revenue from tipping fees charged for organic and other waste accepted and a lesser portion relating to the sale of compost processed.


In the operation of the organic waste processing and composting facility, the Company processes organic and other waste received and produces the end product, compost. The cost of producing the compost totaled $310, 592 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 compared to $293,762 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020. These costs include equipment rental, delivery, fuel, repairs and maintenance, direct wages and benefits, depreciation, utilities and outside contractors. The additional costs include an estimate for the clean-up of certain waste as ordered by the MECP.

Operating expenses were reduced by $218,513, from $811,725 in the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 to $593,212 in the three-month period ended March 31, 2021, explained further below.

Management compensation related to stock-based compensation increased by $54,259, in the three-month period ended March 31, 2021, as a result of the common stock issued to the officers on the commencement of their new executive consulting contracts, effective January 1, 2021. The total stock-based compensation valued at $217,035, based on the trading price of the shares on issuance, will be expensed over year. And, the management compensation relating to fees increased by $38,692, from $51,357 in the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 to $90,049 in the three-month period ended March 31, 2021, the result of increased monthly fees for the CEO.

The Company commenced a new marketing program effective February 1, 2021 for a period of five months to June 30, 2021, at a cost of $20,000 per month, which significantly contributed to the total marketing expense of $45,727 in the three-month period ended March 31, 2021.

Professional fees were reduced by $17,046, from $81,448 in the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 to $64,402 in the three-month period ended March 31, 2021, primarily due to the absence of certain legal fees in connection with refinancing.

Interest expense and default amounts reduced by $148,417 from $312,291 in the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 to $163,874 in the three-month period ended March 31, 2021. This was primarily due to the payoff agreements finalized with the convertible promissory note holders at the end of the prior year and during the three-month period ended March 31, 2021, a reduction of $164,800. This was offset primarily by increases in the interest on the 1st mortgage payable, whose principal balance increased by $556,640 (C$700,000).

Office and administration expenses increased by $19,530 from $55,685 in the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 to $75,215 in the three-month period ended March 31, 2021, primarily due to the cost of new marketing reports and logo artwork.

Rent and occupancy increased by $4,042, from $28,297 in the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 to $32,339 in the three-month period ended March 31, 2021, primarily due to an increase in the monthly rent for the Company's Toronto, Ontario, Canada office.

Insurance reduced by $3,177 from $18,179 in the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 to $15,002 in the three-month period ended March 31, 2021, primarily due to the Company self-insuring certain property at its organic waste processing and composting facility.

Filing fees increased by $5,079 from $13,880 in the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 to $18,959 in the three-month period ended March 31, 2021, primarily due to costs associated with increased filings.


The amortization of financing costs incurred reduced by $78,960 from $92,538 in the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 to $13,578 in the three-month period ended March 31, 2021, due primarily to the absence of the amortization of financing costs for the convertible promissory notes, all of which were fully amortized during the prior year. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2021, the amortization relates fully to the financing fees on the 1st mortgage payable.

Directors' compensation increased from a credit of $1,420 in the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 to $10,664 in the three-month period ended March 31, 2021, an increase of $12,084. In the prior year, the majority of the directors' compensation was based on an accrual for the issuance of stock to satisfy the amounts owed and was a credit balance due to the reducing trading price of the common stock. In the current year, the directors' compensation is recorded as an accrual of fees owed.

Stock-based compensation of $8,073 relates to stock issued for professional services provided in the current period with no comparable amount in the prior period. The balance of the stock-based compensation, determined to be valued at $24,219, will be expensed over the duration of the professional services contacts, which expire July 31, 2021.

Repairs and maintenance increase by $6,731, from $6,458 in the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 to $13,189 in the three-month period ended March 31, 2021, due to additional repairs necessary at the Company's waste processing and organic composting facility.

The foreign exchange income increased by $162,213, from a loss of $150,095 in the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 to income of $12,118 in the three-month period ended March 31, 2021, due primarily to the significant recovery of the Canadian dollar compared to the United States dollar.

The Company recorded other income of $404,809 in the three-month period ended March 31, 2021, with no comparable amount in the three-month period ended March 31, 2020. This is comprised of two components, a gain on forgiveness of convertible promissory notes of $359,460, including accrued interest of $298,360 and a gain on the disposal of long-lives assets in the amount of $45,349.

As at March 31, 2021, the Company had a working capital deficit of $8,436,550 (December 31, 2020-$9,830,314), incurred a net loss of $306,335 (2020-$755,290) for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and had an accumulated deficit of $13,775,129 (December 31, 2020-$13,468,794) and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business.

These factors cast substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, which is dependent upon its ability to obtain the necessary financing to further the development of its business, satisfy its obligations to PACE and its other creditors and upon achieving profitable operations. There is no assurance of funding being available or available on acceptable terms. Realization values may be substantially different from carrying values as shown.

Beginning in March 2020 the Governments of Canada and Ontario, as well as foreign governments instituted emergency measures as a result of COVID-19. The virus has had a major impact on Canadian and international securities and currency markets and consumer activity which may impact the Company's financial position, its results of operations and its cash flows significantly. The situation is constantly evolving, however, so the extent to which the COVID-19 outbreak will impact businesses and the economy is highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. Accordingly, the Company cannot predict the extent to which its financial position, results of operations and cash flows will be affected in the future.


The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result if the Company was unable to continue as a going concern.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Use of estimates

The preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP 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. These estimates are based on management's best knowledge of current events and actions the Company may undertake in the future. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions. The 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 judgements about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Areas involving significant estimates and assumptions include: the allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation, useful lives of long-lived and intangible assets, impairment of long-lived assets and intangible assets, valuation of asset acquisition, accruals, deferred income tax assets and related valuation allowance, environmental remediation costs, stock-based compensation and going concern. Actual results could differ from these estimates. These estimates are reviewed periodically and as adjustments become necessary, they are reported in earnings in the period in which they become available.

Stock-based compensation

From time to time the Company may grant options and/or warrants to management, directors, employees and consultants. The Company recognizes compensation expense at fair value. Under this method, the fair value of each warrant is estimated on the date of the grant and amortized over the vesting period, with the resulting amortization credited to paid in capital. The fair value of each grant is determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Consideration paid upon exercise of stock options and/or warrants is recorded in equity as share capital.

Long-Lived Asset Impairments

We assess our long-lived assets for impairment as required under the applicable accounting standards. If necessary, impairments are recorded in (income) expense from divestitures, asset impairments and unusual items, net in our Interim Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets - At least annually, and more frequently if warranted, we assess the indefinite-lived intangible assets, including the goodwill of our reporting units for impairment using Level 3 inputs.

RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the financial accounting standards board (the "FASB") or other standard setting bodies and adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date or possibly early adopted, where permitted. Unless otherwise discussed, the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

There were no new accounting pronouncements adopted during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources that is material to investors.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of our disclosure control system are met. Due to inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within a company have been detected. Based on our evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due primarily to the small size of the Company and the lack of a segregation of duties.


Notwithstanding this material weakness, management has concluded that the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
