Notes to Financial Statements |
15. Management's Plan | The accompanying financial statements have been prepared contemplating the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. During 2014, the Company has been reliant on their senior secured lender to provide additional funding and has been required to remit substantially all excess cash from operations to the senior secured lenders. Management’s plans for the Company include:
● | Operating the Keyes plant in the current positive margin environment;
● | Continuing to incorporate lower-cost, non-food advanced biofuels feedstock at the Keyes plant;
● | Attracting investors to financing arrangements including working with Advanced BioEnergy LP to issue up to $34.5 million of additional EB-5 notes at 3% interest rate;
● | Refinancing the senior debt with a lender who is able to offer terms conducive to the long term financing of the Keyes plant;
● | Restructuring or refinancing the State Bank of India note to allow for additional working capital and reduce current financing costs;
● | Securing higher volumes of international shipments from the Kakinada, India biodiesel and refined glycerin facility; and
● | Continuing to expand in the India market as the subsidy on diesel is reduced to zero by June 2014.
Management believes that through the above mentioned actions it will be able to fund company operations and continue to operate the secured assets for the foreseeable future. There can be no assurance that the existing credit facilities and cash from operations will be sufficient nor that the Company will be successful at maintaining adequate relationships with the senior lenders or significant shareholders. Should the Company require additional financing, there can be no assurances that the additional financing will be available on terms satisfactory to the Company.
