17. Management's Plan

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2018

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared contemplating the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. 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 lender. There is a $1.5 million available under the GAFI Amendment No.2 to use for the CO2 project. As of December 31, 2018, the Company has $6.0 million available to draw on Reserve Liquidity Facility to fund future cash flow requirements. On March 11, 2019, the maturity of the Reserve Liquidity facility was extended to April 1, 2020 and the available amount under the facility was increased to $8.0 million.

Management believes that through the following actions, the Company will have the ability to generate capital liquidity to carry out the business plan for 2019:

●	Operate the Keyes Plant and continue to improve operational performance, including the adoption of new technologies or process changes that allow for energy efficiency, cost reduction or revenue enhancements to the current operations.

●

Expand the ethanol sold at the Keyes Plant to include the cellulosic ethanol to be generated at the Riverbank Cellulosic Ethanol Facility a cellulosic ethanol production facility in nearby Riverbank, California, and to utilize lower cost, non-food advanced feedstocks to significantly increase margins by 2020.

●	Monetize the CO2 produced at the Keyes Plant by executing on the agreement with Linde for the delivery of gas to their neighboring facility to be built during 2019.

●	Construct and operate biogas digesters to capture and monetize biogas by 2020.

●	Rely on the approval of a $125M U.S. Department of Agriculture loan guarantee to raise the funds necessary to construct and operate the Riverbank Cellulosic Ethanol Facility using the licensed LanzaTech Tech and InEnTec Technology.
●	Secure higher volumes of shipments of fuels at the India plant by developing the sales channels and expanding the existing domestic markets.

●	Continue to locate funding for existing and new business opportunities through a combination of working with our senior lender, restructuring existing loan agreements, selling the current offering for $50 million from the Phase II EB-5 program, or by vendor financing arrangements.

Management believes that a combination of the above-mentioned actions as well as the subsequent debt financing described in Note 16, will provide the funding necessary to alleviate substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
