ASSETS HELD FOR SALE | ASSETS HELD FOR SALE As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Facility and other assets associated with AQMS lease had a net carrying value of $20,638,942 and $21,684,865, respectively, and liabilities of $27,803,564 and $12,021,566, respectively, that met the criteria to be classified as held for sale. On March 1, 2023, LINICO and ABTC entered into an asset Purchase Agreement in which LINICO sold equipment associated with the Facility for $6 million in cash. The agreement states that both parties entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement ("Facility Purchase Agreement") whereby ABTC would also acquire the Facility. In connection with the sale of equipment, the Company recorded a gain of $178,193 during the quarter ended March 31, 2023, with the remaining $5,041,544 of estimated gain deferred until the sale of the Facility is completed, anticipated in the third and fourth quarters of 2023. On March 31, 2023, LINICO and ABTC amended the Facility Purchase Agreement, and the Company agreed to take certain action previously contemplated by LINICO. On March 31, 2023 and April 21, 2023, the Company received non-refundable consideration of $5 million and $7 million in cash, respectively, from ABTC. On April 6, 2023, LINICO and ABTC amended and restated the Facility Purchase Agreement, and the Company received 10 million shares of ABTC restricted common stock (with a guarantee that the Company will receive additional cash and/or shares if and to the extent that the proceeds from such shares are less than $6.6 million). The Company was also required to set aside $1.5 million of the purchase price in escrow to settle potential indemnification claims. On May 12, 2023, the parties amended and restated the Facility Purchase Agreement ("Second Amendment and Restated Agreement"), the Company received an additional $1.0 million in cash and 1 million shares of restricted shares of ABTC common stock. On May 22, 2023, the Company received an additional $2.0 million in cash associated with the purchase and an additional $250,000 in cash to extend the closing period of the agreement. On June 30, 2023, the parties amended and restated the Second Amendment and Restated Agreement ("Third Amendment and Restated Agreement"), whereby the Company returned 1,923,077 of restricted shares of ABTC stock in exchange for $1.5 million of the purchase price previously agreed to be set aside in escrow to settle potential indemnification claims. Four months after the registration statement is declared effective, ABTC will be required to make a one-time cash payment to the Company equal to the difference, if any, of $6,000,000 minus the net proceeds of any shares sold minus the market value of any shares still then owned by the Company. On June 30, 2023, the parties entered into an interim water right agreement to grant a security interest in certain water rights of ABTC for the benefit of the Company to secure certain payment obligations of ABTC under the amended agreement.
