13. 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. The Company has been required to remit substantially all excess cash from operations to the senior lender and it is therefore reliant on the senior lender to provide additional funding when required. In order to meet its obligations during the next 12 months, the Company will need to either refinance the Company’s debt or receive the continued cooperation of the senior lender. This dependence on the senior lender raises substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company plans to pursue the following strategies to improve the course of the business:
● | 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.
● | Raise the funds necessary to construct and operate the Riverbank Cellulosic Ethanol Facility using the licensed technology from LanzaTech and InEnTec Technology to generate federal and state carbon credits available for ultra-low carbon fuels by reliance on the approval of a $125 million U.S. Department of Agriculture loan guarantee.
● | 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 through the above actions, the Company will have the ability to generate capital liquidity to carry out the business plan for the next 12 months.
