12. 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 a working capital deficit, which includes approximately $59.3 million of debt maturing within the next 12 months, and the Company has been required to remit substantially all excess cash from operations to its senior lender and is therefore reliant on its 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 from its senior lender. This dependence on the senior lender raises substantial doubt about the Company’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 at the Plant, including the expansion into new products, new markets for existing products, and adoption of new technologies or process changes that allow for energy efficiency, cost reduction or revenue enhancements.
● | Continue to develop and expand the markets for high-grade alcohol by extending the value chain to allow for higher margin sales to consumers.
● | Execute upon awarded grants at the Keyes Plant that improve operational efficiencies resulting in lower cost, lower carbon demands, and overall margin improvement.
● | Operate the existing biogas digesters to capture and monetize RNG as well as continue to build new dairy digesters and extend the existing pipeline in order to capture high value California LCFS credits and RFS RINs.
● | 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 utilizing lower cost, non-food advanced feedstocks to significantly increase margins.
● | Secure higher fuel shipment volumes from 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 $50.8 million from the EB-5 Phase II funding, or by vendor financing arrangements.
