Notes to Financial Statements |
Management’s Plan | 17. Management’s Plan The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has experienced losses and negative cash flow and currently has a working capital deficit and total stockholders’ deficit. The Company has been reliant on their senior secured lender to provide additional funding requirements when cash flows do not support the payment requirements on the Company’s debt. Although the current agreements in place with this lender do not require any payments or covenant requirements through February 2013, the continuation of the Company depends on management being able to maintain this relationship with the lender or find other financing options to provide cash as the company expands its technologies. Management’s plans to continue to operate the Company include:
● | As discussed in the subsequent event footnote, the acquisition of Cilion provided the Company with a substantial asset to use as collateral both with their current lender and with future financings.
● | Continue to work with the Company’s senior lender to provide financing as well as explore other financing arrangements including working with Advanced BioEnergy LP to attract investors for the remaining $35 million of notes available under the program, or through the issuance of additional equity.
● | Development of Joint Venture agreements for the expansion of the Company’s technologies.
● | Continued support from major shareholders and board of directors in providing cash financing.
Management believes that through the above mentioned actions it will be able to sustain the company as a going concern. There can be no assurance that the existing credit facilities and cash from operations will be sufficient nor that we will be successful at maintaining adequate relationships with our senior lender or significant shareholders that will result in additional financings. Should the Company require additional financing, there can be no assurances that the additional financing will be available on terms satisfactory to the Company.
