NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION, NATURE OF BUSINESS AND GOING CONCERN

 

 

(A) Description of Business

 

Basanite, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”, “Basanite”, “we”, “us”, “our” or similar terminology), through our wholly owned subsidiary, Basanite Industries, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“BI”), manufactures a range of “green” (environmentally friendly), sustainable, non-corrosive, lightweight, composite products used in concrete reinforcement by the construction industry. Our core product is BasaFlex™, a basalt fiber reinforced polymer reinforcing bar (“rebar”) which we believe is a stronger, lighter, sustainable, non-conductive and corrosion-proof alternative to traditional steel.

 

Our two other main product lines are BasaMix™, which are fine denier basalt fibers available in various sizes, and BasaMesh™, a line of Basalt Geogrid Mesh Rolls, intended to replace welded wire mesh (made of steel) and other fiber reinforced polymer (“FRB”) grids and mesh.

 

BasaMix™ is designed to help absorb the stresses associated with early-aged plastic shrinkage and settlement cracking in concrete, as well as providing an increased toughness for enhanced reinforcement in Slab-on-Grade (“SOG”) and precast elements. BasaMix™ also serves in a “system approach” for optimum performance of a concrete element when used in conjunction with our BasaFlex™ rebar.

 

BasaMesh™ is designed for secondary and temperature shrinkage reinforcement. BasaMesh™ can also work in conjunction with the BasaFlex™ rebar or BasaMix™ for a total reinforcement program.

 

Each of our products is specifically designed to extend the lifecycle of concrete products by eliminating “concrete spalling.” Spalling results from the steel reinforcing materials embedded within the concrete member rusting (contrary to popular belief, concrete is porous and water can permeate into concrete). Rusting leads to the steel expanding and eventually causing the surrounding concrete to delaminate, crack, or even break off, resulting in potential structural failure. We believe that each Basanite product addresses this important need along with other key requirements in today’s construction market.

 

(B) Liquidity and Management Plans

 

Since inception, the Company has incurred net operating losses and used cash in operations. As of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively, the Company reported:

 

  · an accumulated deficit of $49,585,933 and $46,121,210;

 

  · a working capital deficiency of $5,917,780 and $3,304,637; and

 

  · cash used in operations of $81,529 and $4,507,418.

 

Losses have principally occurred as a result of the substantial resources required for product research and development, establishment and upgrading of our manufacturing facility and equipment, and for certification, government approval and marketing of the Company’s products; including the general and administrative expenses associated with the organization.

 

While we have generated relatively little revenue to date, revenue from sales of product began to increase during the first half of 2022 (including the quarter ended June 30, 2022), and we continue to receive inquiries and solicit orders from a range of customers for our products, indicating what we believe is a significant level of market interest for BasaFlex™ and BasaMix ™ products. We also spent time and resources during the first half of 2022 in introducing our products to, and receiving approvals and certifications from, various county and local government agencies to have our products used in such agencies’ construction projects, While the Company plans to expand its manufacturing capacity during 2022, based on our current limited manufacturing capacity there is no guarantee that orders secured from marketing and governmental approval activities will actually be received or that orders, if received, can be properly fulfilled.

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION, NATURE OF BUSINESS AND GOING CONCERN (CONTINUED)

 

We have historically satisfied our working capital requirements through the sale of restricted Common Stock of the Company, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), and the issuance of warrants to purchase Common Stock and promissory notes. Until we are able to internally generate meaningful revenue and positive cash flow, we will attempt to fund working capital requirements through third party financing, including through potential private or public offerings of our securities as well as bridge or other loan arrangements. However, a number of factors continue to hinder the Company’s ability to attract new capital investment. We cannot provide any assurances that the required capital will be obtained at all, or that the terms of such required capital may be acceptable to us. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing, we may reduce our operating activities to reduce our cash use until sufficient funding is secured. If we are unable to secure funding when needed, our results of operations may suffer, and our business may fail.

 

These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

 

At June 30, 2022, the Company had cash of $58,893 compared to $109,514 at December 31, 2021.

 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

(A) Use of Estimates in Financial Statements

 

The presentation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Stock-based compensation and stock awards related to convertible debt instruments are recognized based on the fair value of the awards granted. The fair value of each award or conversion feature is typically estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The Black-Scholes pricing model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the fair value of the underlying Common Stock, the expected term of the option, the expected volatility of the price of our Common Stock, risk-free interest rates and the expected dividend yield of our Common Stock. The assumptions used to determine the fair value of the stock awards represent management’s best estimates. These estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment.

 

The Company used the Black Scholes valuation model to determine the fair value of the warrants and options issued, using the following key assumptions for the six months ended June 30, 2022. There were no such valuations during the six months ended June 30, 2021:

 

          
   Six months   Six months 
   ended   ended 
   June 30,   June 30, 
   2022   2021 
   (Unaudited)     
Expected price volatility   144.76-145.73%   N/A 
Risk-free interest rate   2.55-2.88    N/A 
Expected life in years   5    N/A 
Dividend yield   —    N/A 

  

(B) Principles of Consolidation

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Basanite, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Basanite Industries, LLC and Basalt America, LLC. All intercompany balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company’s operations are conducted primarily through Basanite Industries, LLC. Basalt America, LLC is currently inactive.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

(C) Cash

 

The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash instruments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company places its cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash on deposit with financial institutions in the United States, which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Company “(“FDIC”) up to $250,000. The Company’s credit risk in the event of failure of these financial institutions is represented by the difference between the FDIC limit and the total amounts on deposit. Management monitors the financial institutions' creditworthiness in conjunction with balances on deposit to minimize risk. The Company from time to time may have amounts on deposit in excess of the insured limits.

 

(D) Inventories

 

The Company’s inventories consist of raw materials, work in process and finished goods, both purchased and manufactured. Inventories are stated at lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined on a first-in, first-out basis. Raw materials inventory consists of basalt fiber and other necessary elements to produce BasaFlex™ rebar and our other products. On a quarterly basis, the Company analyzes its inventory levels and records allowances for inventory that has become obsolete and inventory that has a cost basis in excess of the expected net realizable value.

 

The Company’s inventory at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was comprised of:

 

          
   June 30,   December 31, 
   2022   2021 
   (Unaudited)     
Finished goods  $61,339   $328,229 
Work in process   73,019    35,213 
Raw materials   183,614    351,213 
Total inventory  $317,972   $714,655 

 

(E) Fixed assets

 

Fixed assets consist of the following:

 

          
   June 30,   December 31, 
   2022   2021 
   (Unaudited)     
Computer equipment  $166,679   $133,654

Accumulated depreciation   (337,730)   (270,566)
   $3,462,492   $3,236,825 

 

Depreciation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, was $33,493 and $66,751, respectively; depreciation expense for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2021, was $32,216, and $63,925, respectively.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

(F) Deposits and other current assets

 

The Company’s deposits and other current assets consist of the deposits made on equipment, security deposits, utility deposits and other receivables. The deposits are reclassified as part of the fixed asset cost when received and placed into service.

 

(G) Loss Per Share

 

The basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. The diluted loss per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net loss by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity.

 

The following are potentially dilutive shares not included in the loss per share computation:

 

          
   June 30,   December 31, 
   2022   2021 
   (Unaudited)     
Options   1,727,778    4,227,778 
Warrants   141,889,090    138,191,666 
Convertible securities   7,696,765    6,970,063 
Total   151,313,633    149,389,507 

 

(H) Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company recognizes compensation costs to employees under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. Under FASB ASC Topic 718, companies are required to measure the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Share based compensation arrangements include stock options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans. As such, compensation cost is measured on the date of grant at their fair value. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the grant.

 

(I) Revenue Recognition

 

We recognize revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the Company’s customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expected to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The timing of revenue recognition largely is dependent on shipping terms. Revenue is recorded at the time of shipment for terms designated free on board (“FOB”) shipping point. For sales transactions designated FOB destination, revenue is recorded when the product is delivered to the customer’s delivery site.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

All revenues recognized are net of trade allowances, cash discounts, and sales returns. Trade allowances are based on the estimated obligations. Adjustments to earnings resulting from revisions to estimates on discounts and returns have been immaterial for each of the reported periods. Shipping and handling amounts billed to a customer as part of a sales transaction are included in revenues, and the related costs are included in cost of goods sold. Shipping and handling are treated as fulfillment activities, rather than promised services, and therefore are not considered separate performance obligations. During the six three and six months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021, the Company incurred shipping and handling costs in the amount of $16,537 and $0, respectively.

 

NOTE 3 – OPERATING LEASE

 

On January 18, 2019, the Company entered into an agreement to lease approximately 25,470 square feet of office and manufacturing space in Pompano Beach, Florida through March 2024. On March 25, 2019, the Company entered into an amendment to the agreement to increase the square footage of leased premises to 36,900 square feet, increasing the Company’s base rent obligation to be approximately $33,825 per month for one year and nine months, and increasing annually at a rate of three percent for the remainder of the lease term.

 

The right-of-use asset is composed of the sum of all remaining lease payments plus any initial direct costs and is amortized over the life of the expected lease term. For the expected term of the lease, the Company used the initial term of the five-year lease. If the Company does elect to exercise its option to extend the lease for another five years, for which the election will be treated as a lease modification, the lease will be reviewed for remeasurement.

 

The future minimum lease payments to be made under the operating lease as of June 30, 2022, are as follows: 

 

Schedule of Operating Lease Liability      
2022   $215,310 
2023    440,308 
2024    110,884 
    Total minimum lease payments    766,502 
Discount    (96,641)
    Operating lease liability   $669,861 

 

Operating lease liabilities are based on the net present value of the remaining lease payments over the remaining lease term. In determining the present value of lease payments, the Company used the incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date. As of June 30, 2022, the weighted-average remaining lease term is 2.0 years and the weighted-average discount rate used to determine the operating lease liability was 15.0%. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021, the Company expensed $220,863 and $214,036, respectively for rent.

 

NOTE 4 – FINANCING LEASE – RELATED PARTY

 

On April 27, 2022, the Company entered into an Equipment Rental Agreement (the “Agreement”) with First New Haven Mortgage Company, LLC, a Connecticut limited liability company and an affiliate of the Company (the “Lessor”). Ronald J. LoRicco, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, is the co-managing member of the Lessor and has an indirect pecuniary interest in the Lessor. In accordance with Nevada corporate law, the Agreement was independently reviewed and approved by the unanimous vote of the disinterested directors of the Company, with Mr. LoRicco recusing himself from voting.

 

Pursuant to the Agreement, the Lessor paid approximately $450,000 to Upstate Custom Products LLC, a South Carolina limited liability company (the “Manufacturer”) on April 22, 2022, to purchase a single, specialized BasaMax™ Tetrad Basalt Rebar Pultrusion Machine to be used to manufacture the Company’s products (the “Machine”). The Company had previously ordered the Machine from the Manufacturer, and pursuant to the Agreement, the Lessor secured rights to the ownership of the Machine and rights under all the sales orders and agreements to purchase the Machine from Manufacturer to the Lessor. The loan amount was paid directly to the Manufacturer. The Company has elected to use a market interest rate of 21%, this rate in line with the available options the Company would be subject to. Pursuant to this lease, the Company will make payments in the amount of $8,250 per month for 24 months, followed by a final payment in the amount of $450,000.

 

The future minimum lease payments to be made under the financing lease as of June 30, 2022, are as follows: 

 

Schedule of Financing Lease Liability      
2022   $41,250 
2023    99,000 
2024    474,750 
    Total minimum lease payments    615,000 
Discount    (165,851)
    Financing lease liability   $449,149

NOTE 5 – NOTES PAYABLE

 

Notes payable totaled $500,515 and $466,762 on June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively.

 

On February 25, 2021, the Company entered a promissory note agreement with its bank for $165,747 loan bearing an interest rate of 1.0% per annum. The loan was made pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program under the Second Draw PPP Legislation after receiving confirmation from the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”). The Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act requires that the funds be used to maintain the current number of employees as well as cover payroll-related costs, monthly mortgage or rent payments and utilities and not more than 40% can be expended on non-payroll-related costs. The applicable maturity date will be the maturity date as established by the SBA. If the SBA does not establish a maturity date or range of allowable maturity dates, the term will be five years.

NOTE 7 – NOTES PAYABLE – CONVERTIBLE – RELATED PARTY

 

Convertible Notes payable – related party totaled $1,689,746 on June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021.

 

On August 3, 2020, the Company issued a secured convertible promissory note to certain investors in exchange for $1,000,000 in the aggregate bearing an interest rate of 20% per annum and payable in 6 months. The holder may convert the unpaid principal balance of the note into shares of restricted Common Stock at the conversion price equal to $0.275 per share, which conversion price was set with the consummation of the Company’s private placement of Units which closed on August 17, 2021. This note contains a negative covenant that requires the Company to obtain consent prior to incurring any additional equity or debt investments and is secured by all of the assets of the Company. The Richard A. LoRicco Sr. and Lucille M. LoRicco Irrevocable Insurance Trust DTD 4/28/95, Louis Demaio as Trustee (the “Trust”) is the holder of $750,000 of the principal amount of this note. The Trust was created by Richard A. LoRicco Sr. and Lucille M. LoRicco, who were the parents of Ronald J. LoRicco Sr., one of the members of the Company’s Board of Directors and is maintained by an independent trustee. Ronald J. LoRicco Sr. does not have voting or investment control of or power over the Trust but is an anticipated, partial beneficiary of the Trust.

 

On February 12, 2021, the Company exchanged the original debt for a newly issued amended and restated secured convertible promissory note with a new principal balance of $1,610,005 bearing an interest rate of 20% per annum and fully payable in 3 months. This was accounted for as a debt extinguishment and the new promissory note was recorded at fair value in accordance with ASC 470 “Debt”. The original principal of $1,000,000 and accrued interest of $110,005 calculated as of the date of amendment and restatement along with an additional advance of $500,000 determined the principal amount of the new note. In consideration of the additional advance and the extension of the maturity date of the original note, the Company issued to the noteholders 5-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 15,000,000 shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of $0.20 per share. The issuance of the warrants for the extension generated a loss on extinguishment of $3,686,123 for the fair value of the warrants issued.

 

On May 12, 2021, the Company extended the debt for a newly issued amended and restated secured convertible promissory note with a new principal balance of $1,689,746 bearing an interest rate of 20% per annum and fully payable February 12, 2022. The original principal of $1,610,005 and accrued interest of $79,742 calculated as of the date of amendment and restatement determined the principal amount of the new note. In consideration of the additional advance and the extension of the maturity date of the original note, the Company issued to the noteholders 5-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 7,500,000 shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of $0.35 per share. The issuance of the warrants for the extension generated a loss on extinguishment of $1,874,705 for the fair value of the warrants issued. The note was not paid by its due date of February 12, 2022. As of the date of this filing, the noteholder has not issued a formal demand for payment and the Company is in negotiations with the noteholder to remedy the past-due status.

 

Interest expense for the Company’s convertible notes payable – related parties for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, was $102,398 and 199,843, respectively, compared to $84,605 and $151,521, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

 

Accrued interest for the Company’s convertible notes payable – related parties on June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, was $426,865 and $227,022, respectively, and is included in accrued expenses on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

NOTE 8 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

The Company is the obligor under certain promissory notes that are currently past due (although formal events of default have not been declared).

   

The Company is presently in default of its obligations under the terms of the Company’s private placement which closed in August 2021 to file a registration statement for an underwritten public offering and concurrently an application for listing on a national stock exchange. As a result, the Company is required to pay liquidated damages in the amount of $53,345 per month starting in March 2022, and $106,690 per month, beginning on June 1, 2022. The maximum amount of such liquidated damages could be $480,104 if such filings are not made. The Company has accrued the full amount of this liability, resulting in charges of $403,643 and $426,759 to operations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, a payment in the amount of $53,345 was made in connection with these obligations; at June 30, 2022, the amount of $426,759 was recorded on the Company’s balance sheet as an accrued liability.

 

NOTE 9 – STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT

 

On May 23, 2022, the Company issued 2,000,000 warrants with a fair value of $257,059 to a Key Honey, LLC. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, 500,000 of these warrants were vested and with a value of $64,264. Key Honey, LLC is owned and operated by Richard Gibbs III, a non-affiliated shareholder. Key Honey, LLC provides the Company with sales, operations and marketing work product and consultancy.

 

The Company raised $1,300,000 pursuant to a private placement of Common Stock and warrants – this amount is carried on the Company’s balance sheet as a current liability as of June 30, 2022 because the shares have not yet been issued to the investors.

 

Effective May 27, 2022, the Company issued 122,713 shares of Common Stock at a price of $0.149 per share to a board member for commission on a sale. The amount of $18,284 was charged to non-cash compensation.

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the company charged the amount of $41,706 to non-cash compensation representing the vesting of warrants issued to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as well as the risk factors and other disclosures contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2021.

 

Basanite, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiaries are referred to in this discussion as the “Company”, “we”, “our”, or “us”. “Common Stock” refers to the Common Stock of the Company.

 

Overview

 

On May 30, 2006, Basanite, Inc. was formed as a Nevada corporation. Through our wholly owned subsidiary, Basanite Industries, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“BI”), we manufacture a range of “green” (environmentally friendly), sustainable, non-corrosive, lightweight, composite products used in concrete reinforcement by the construction industry. Our core product is BasaFlex™, a basalt fiber reinforced polymer reinforcing bar (“rebar”) which we believe is a stronger, lighter, sustainable, non-conductive and corrosion-proof alternative to traditional steel.

 

Our two other main product lines are BasaMix™, which are fine denier basalt fibers available in various chopped sizes, and BasaMesh™, a line of Basalt Geogrid Mesh Rolls, intended to replace welded wire mesh (made of steel) and other fiber reinforced polymer grids and mesh.

 

BasaMix™ is designed to help absorb the stresses associated with early-aged plastic shrinkage and settlement cracking in concrete, as well as providing an increased toughness for enhanced reinforcement in Slab on Grade (SOG) and precast elements. BasaMix™ also serves in a “system approach” for optimum performance of a concrete element when used in conjunction with our BasaFlex™ rebar.

 

BasaMesh™ is designed for secondary and temperature shrinkage reinforcement. BasaMesh™ can also work in conjunction with the BasaFlex™ rebar or BasaMix™ for a total reinforcement program.

 

Each of our products is specifically designed to extend the lifecycle of concrete products by eliminating “concrete spalling.” Spalling results from the steel reinforcing materials embedded within the concrete member rusting (contrary to popular belief, concrete is porous, and water can permeate into concrete). Rusting leads to the steel expanding and eventually causing the surrounding concrete to delaminate, crack, or even break off, resulting in potential structural failure. We believe that each of our products addresses this important need along with other key requirements in today’s construction market.

We believe that the following attributes of BasaFlex™ provide it with a competitive advantage in the marketplace:

 

·BasaFlex™ never corrodes: steel reinforcement products rust, leading to spalling and significant repair costs down the road;

 

·BasaFlex™ is sustainable: BasaFlex™ is made from Basalt rock, the most abundant rock found on Earth’s surface, and offers a longer product lifecycle than traditional steel (the lack of corrosion allows the life span of concrete products reinforced with BasaFlex to be significantly longer);

 

·BasaFlex™ is “green”: From mining, through production, to installation at the building site, BasaFlex™ has an exceptionally low carbon footprint when compared with that of steel or with carbon fiber or glass fiber reinforced polymer rebar products; and

 

·BasaFlex™ has a lower in-place cost: the physical nature of our products relative to steel result in a lower net cost to the contractor once installed, such as: BasaFlex™ is one-quarter of the weight of equivalent sized steel, meaning 4 times the quantity of material can be delivered by the same truck (or container); all Basanite products can be loaded/unloaded and moved around the jobsite by hand – no expensive handling equipment is needed; less concrete is required as BasaFlex™ does not require the extra concrete cover needed when using steel; and Basanite products are safer and easier to use. We believe all these factors materially reduce the net in-place cost of concrete reinforcement.

 

BI leases a fully permitted, 36,900 square foot facility located in Pompano Beach, Florida equipped with five customized, Underwriters Laboratories approved, pultrusion manufacturing machines for BasaFlex™ production, plus other composite manufacturing equipment. Pultrusion is a manufacturing process for converting reinforced fibers and liquid resin into a fiber-reinforced polymer product. Each of our current pultrusion machines has up to two linear production lines (we use one or two lines per machine depending on rebar size) giving a maximum capacity of 10 manufacturing lines (smaller bar sizes). To date, BI’s operations team has successfully optimized and scaled the capacity of our manufacturing plant to be able to produce up to 22,800 linear feet of BasaFlex™ rebar per shift, per working day, depending on the product mix.

 

During the past year, we have designed, developed, and prototyped a next generation Pultrusion manufacturing system for BasaFlexTM rebar we call BasaMax™. This new system has been designed in two versions, a quad-line system named “Tetrad” (for smaller bar sizes) and a dual-line system named “Dyad” (for larger bar sizes). Each offers not only have double the manufacturing capacity of the current machines for a given bar size, but they also run faster, and they fit in the same manufacturing floorspace. We currently have five of these new BasaMax pultrusion machines on order: three quad-line machines and two dual-line machines. Design changes and other improvements we wanted to incorporate (based on reviews of the prototype), coupled with supply chain issues prevalent in today’s economic environment have led to some delay in the completion of the new equipment. We now expect to accept delivery of these custom manufactured new machines early in the fourth quarter of 2022, with installation and calibration also to be completed in fourth quarter of 2022. With the introduction of this new equipment and the subsequent establishment of our planned two-shift operations, our maximum manufacturing capacity for BasaFlex™ rebar will increase to 100,000+ linear feet per working day (on a two-shift basis).

 

Importantly, BI’s own fully equipped Test Lab is utilized to evaluate, validate, and verify each raw material and each batch of completed BasaFlex™ product, ensuring our finished goods meet the required specifications and performance attributes. We are also developing a new process specifically for manufacturing BasaFlex™ shapes (hoops; angles and stirrups) which we call BasaLinks™, which includes developing a next generation pultrusion system as part of this process. We expect our first BasaLinks system to be in place and operational during the fourth quarter of 2022.

 

We believe that macroeconomic factors are pressuring the construction industry to consider the use of alternative reinforcement materials for the following reasons:

 

·the increasing need for global infrastructure repair;

 

·recent design trends towards increasing the lifespan of projects and materials;

 

·the global interest in promoting the use of sustainable products;

 

·increasing consideration of both the long-term costs and environmental impacts of material selections.

 

·more recently, due to rising steel prices, an increasing level of price equivalence between steel rebar and our BFRP rebar.

 

We believe we are well positioned to benefit from this renewed focus, particularly in light of the interest of the U.S. government in funding infrastructure improvements and events such as the collapse of a residential building in Surfside, Florida.

Known Factors, Trends and Risks Impacting Our Business

 

Manufacturing Expansion

 

Our business plan calls for scaling the manufacturing capability at our Florida facility in order to enable the potential for increased revenues and cash flow positive operations, and ultimately to profitability, in as short a timeframe as possible. Following this, we plan to open additional facilities around the country, each designed to service a circular area roughly 1,000 miles in diameter, with the plant at the center. Locations will be selected based upon regional demand and using the South Florida facility as the model.

 

However, our South Florida manufacturing expansion plans have been hindered by several factors: the COVID-19 pandemic, our slower than expected rate of fundraising and our slower than expected ramp-up in sales. This last item has been caused by multiple factors, including:

 

·customer requirements for multiple additional product and facility certifications, in particular from the International Code Council (or ICC) Evaluation Service (known as “ICC-ES”), an industry leader in performing technical evaluations of building products, materials and systems for code compliance; and from the Florida Department of Transportation (“FDOT”). Both certification programs are underway, and each requires separate, long-duration product testing (7 to 9 months). ICC testing is expected to complete by the end of September 2022 with approval to follow; and FDOT testing is expected to complete during the fourth quarter of 2022 with approval to follow;

 

·the lack of an ASTM (formerly known as the American Society for Testing and Materials) product standard specifically for basalt fiber rebar (this process is also underway, and a member of our board of directors, Fred Tingberg, who was appointed as our Chief Technology Officer in June 2022 is on the ASTM committee reviewing this; we currently expect the ASTM to be issued in September 2022);

 

·our current manufacturing capacity limitations, which have precluded us from bidding or winning several larger potential orders;

 

·the Surfside Condo disaster, which has resulted in some local engineers being cautious around new product introductions. We believe, however, that we will be able to make a strong case that BasaFlex™ (which is corrosion proof) can remedy the structural failures (such as what occurred in Surfside) associated with steel reinforcement corrosion;

 

·concerns about the current state of our manufacturing capability and our ability to deliver product(s).

 

Our new manufacturing equipment mentioned above is expected to be delivered and the installation and calibration process to commence during the fourth quarter of 2022. The equipment is expected to become fully operational shortly thereafter. We believe the achievement of this would simultaneously resolve questions about our manufacturing capacity and will materially improve our ability to generate sales.

 

Impact of COVID-19

 

The pandemic caused by the novel coronavirus (known as “COVID-19”) and governmental responses and efforts to curb the spread of the pandemic has caused great disruption to the U.S. national and international economies. We have been adversely impacted by COVID-19 in that we have been required to temporarily suspend operations during 2020 due to necessary quarantines, and the impact of COVID-19 on the construction industry we service has been significant. Government mandated shutdowns and other measures held less of an impact on our business during 2021, although we did have personnel absent for periods during the year due to COVID-19. During the first quarter of 2022, while certain of our personnel did contract COVID-19, overall COVID-19 did not have a material impact on our business, in part because we were operating with reduced personnel and personnel could work remotely in certain cases.

 

The continued prevalence of COVID-19 or outbreaks of new variants thereof could disrupt our supply chain, as well as our own operations due to absenteeism by infected or ill members of management or other employees, or absenteeism by members of management and other employees who elect not to come to work due to illness affecting others in our office or plant, or due to additional necessary quarantines. This could be particularly true as we seek to scale operations during 2022 and hire additional personnel. COVID-19 could also impact members of our Board of Directors as well as key providers of services to us, which could adversely impact the management of our affairs. Additionally, as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to develop, we may be required to continue to spend time and resources in monitoring and adhering to government regulations that impact both our company and our customers and potential customers as necessary, which could also adversely impact our business and results of operations. We continue to monitor our operations and applicable government recommendations and requirements.

Inflation & Interest Rate Sensitivity

 

In the past two fiscal years, inflation has not had a significant impact on our business. However, during the second half of 2021 and into 2022, the U.S. economy has entered into a period of increasing inflation. Should inflation persist or increase, interest rates may continue to rise, and inflation overall could have a significant effect on the economy in general and the construction industry in particular, as well as create volatility in the capital markets. For example, inflation and increased interests could affect the prices of raw materials we use, demand for our products, our ability to attract and retain skilled labor and our ability to obtain financing. We are carefully watching chemical prices, which are following oil and gas prices, as a core component of BasaFlex™ is the chemical resin mix. Prices have risen, but we have been able to raise our own prices to support our margins, largely as the result of the increase in steel prices. We believe we have actually benefitted from the rapid rise in steel prices over the past several fiscal quarters as well as the reduced availability of steel rebar, both of which changes have opened opportunities to more readily introduce our products into the marketplace. As of the date of this report, BasaFlex™ has become directly competitive with steel on price alone, and it is relatively available, whereas steel has been impacted by raw material supply chain constraints. We will seek to continue to take advantage of these opportunities while high steel prices and restricted supply are prevalent.

 

Supply Chain

 

In the past year, supply chain shortages or delays have had an immaterial impact on our operations. Our raw material suppliers have maintained a consistent flow of goods which we receive monthly. Domestic suppliers have increased their in-stock flows to maintain adequate levels with our manufacturing needs. However, we might experience supply chain challenges in the future, which could harm our business and our results of operations.

 

Supply chain shortages have, however, negatively impacted the scheduled delivery of our new custom manufacturing equipment, which are now scheduled to be installed and calibrated in the fourth quarter of 2022 (we had previously anticipated this process to be completed earlier in 2022). While we believe these supply chain issues are resolved, we still might experience further delays which are beyond our control or that of the machine manufacturer. Such additional delay(s) could further delay the delivery, installation and calibration of our new manufacturing equipment, which in turn would harm our business and/or our results of operations.

 

War in Ukraine

 

The recent war in Ukraine has led the world to issue sanctions on the government of Russia. This has shut down our ability to procure basalt fiber material from our secondary supplier in Russia, Kamenny Vek. However, our primary supplier, Mafic, is U.S. based, and has ample capacity to support our current and anticipated future needs with a 100% domestic source of raw materials. We have also recently increased the levels of our safety stock of raw materials as an additional cushion. Nonetheless, we are currently qualifying alternate material from other global suppliers to preserve our options in case of further disruptions.

 

Government Approvals and Specifying of our Products

 

We continue to pursue additional product and facility qualifications and approvals, and these qualifications and approvals are critical to the market acceptance of our products. As previously noted, we are currently testing products at two independent laboratories in the pursuit of ICC-ES and FDOT certifications. These also include production facility approvals. ICC-ES approval is expected by the end of September 2022, and FDOT approval by the end of 2022 (including the facility approvals). However, we are already selling to FDOT projects on an individual basis through exemptions or previously issued material specs. Formal FDOT approval will allow us to bid on any FDOT project that is approved to use basalt fiber reinforced polymer products. Until we have obtained these additional approvals, our opportunities to bid on certain projects will be limited.

 

Need to Expand Management Personnel

 

During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, our company and Simon R. Kay (who had been serving as our Acting Interim Chief Executive Officer on a consulting basis) entered into a Transition Services Agreement in contemplation of our search for a permanent Chief Executive Officer. On March 25, 2022, our Board of Directors appointed Mr. Kay as our Chief Executive Officer and President. Additionally, Mr. Kay served as Acting Interim Chief Financial Officer and Acting Interim Principal Financial Officer of our company until August 1st, 2022, when we engaged NowCFO (see below).

 

On August 1, 2022, the Company engaged NowCFO, a third-party consulting firm, to provide chief financial officer services for quarterly reporting and additional accounting matters. However, we believe that hiring a full time Chief Financial Officer is in our company’s long term best interests and the Company continues to recruit and interview candidates.

 

On February 20, 2022, David L. Anderson (“Anderson”), our Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer provided written notice to our Board of Directors of his resignation, and on February 24, 2022, we provided written notice to Anderson that his resignation of employment was accepted, effective immediately. As such, Anderson is not affiliated with us as of February 24, 2022, and the position of Chief Operating Officer remains unfilled as of the date of this report. We will need to fill the position of Chief Operating Officer (or similar position) in order to grow our business as planned.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2022, and 2021

 

Revenue: We had revenue of $288,050 from sales of finished goods for the three months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $272,501 compared to $15,549 in the prior year. While the increase in revenue in the year over year periods was relatively significant due to our increasing sales success (across all product lines) in 2022, overall revenues continue to be minimal, largely due to our capacity constraints and limited working capital. We continued our efforts to scale our production capacity, increase our sales, and grow finished goods inventory during the period.

 

Cost of goods sold: Cost of goods sold was $611,163 for the three months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $591,670 compared to cost of goods sold of $19,493 during the prior period. Cost of goods sold reflects the fixed overhead costs absorbed by manufacturing, at low sales volumes this results in negative margins. Our gross profit during the three months ended June 30, 2022, was negative $323,113 compared to negative $3,944 during the prior period. We expect our gross profit to increase as fixed overhead costs are absorbed over a greater volume of sales.

 

Sales, general, and administrative: Sales, general, and administrative expenses were $1,035,717 during the three months ended June 30, 2022, a decrease of $411,863 compared to $1,447,580 during the prior period. For the current quarter, sales, general, and administrative costs consisted primarily of professional fees of $286,853; payroll and related costs of $239,145, not including stock-based compensation of $197,633; consulting fees of $82,591; investor relations costs of $49,180; research and development of $42,427; advertising and marketing of $42,099; rent of $30,778; computer and IT costs of $26,187, and office costs of $20,839. The primary reason for the decrease in sales, general, and administrative costs compared to the prior period was $443,436 in overhead and depreciation charges in the prior period; these costs were absorbed by cost of sales during the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Cost of goods sold reflects the fixed overhead costs absorbed by manufacturing, at low sales volumes this results in negative margins. Our gross profit during the six months ended June 30, 2022, was negative $650,635 compared to negative $1,124 during the prior period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Since inception, we have incurred net operating losses and negative cash flow. As of June 30, 2022, we had an accumulated deficit of $49,585,933. We have incurred general and administrative expenses associated with our product development and compliance while concurrently setting up our manufacturing facility, beginning operations, and developing our business plan. We also continue to incur legal fees arising from ongoing activities due to fundraising. We expect operating losses to continue in the short term, and we require additional financing for expanding our manufacturing capability and generally scaling our business until we can generate sufficient revenues to achieve positive cash flow. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

We have historically satisfied our working capital requirements through the sale of restricted Common Stock and the issuance of warrants and promissory notes. We will continue our fundraising efforts until we have obtained positive cash flow to cover our expenses. No assurances can be given that we will be successful in raising capital at all or on terms acceptable to us, or at all, and no assurances can be given that even if we raise capital that we will be able to generate sufficient revenue to become cash flow positive.

 

Notwithstanding proceeds from the sale of our securities, recent related party equipment lease transaction and warrant and option exercises in 2021 and 2022, our current working capital is extremely limited, and our projected sales revenue (together with our limited working capital) are presently insufficient to maintain our current operations. In order to grow our manufacturing and sales and marketing operations and reach the level of revenue sufficient to provide positive cash flow, we require significant funding of both our expansion plans (which includes the finalization of our current manufacturing expansion plans and potential investments in other manufacturing facilities, as well as increased headcount necessary to operate our manufacturing at planned capacity). This will cover our significant operating deficit while we seek to scale our manufacturing capability, secure orders from known potential customers, and introduce our products to new customers. We will attempt to raise this capital through third party financing, including potential private or public offerings of our securities (including a potential underwritten offering and up list/re-IPO to a national exchange) as well as bridge or other loan arrangements. However, there is a material risk that we will be unable to secure the required capital (whether through an underwritten financing and/or uplisting to a national exchange or otherwise) at all or that the terms of such required financing may be available or acceptable to us. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing, we may reduce our operating activities to reduce our cash use until sufficient funding is secured. If we are unable to secure funding when needed, our results from operations may suffer, and our business may fail.

 

As of June 30, 2022, we had cash of $58,893 compared to $109,514 as of December 31, 2021. The decrease in cash was due to our net loss of $3,464,723, offset primarily by $636,466 in non-cash expenses, a $1,227,774 increase in accounts payable and a decrease of $396,683 in inventory. We also raised $1,300,000 pursuant to a private placement of Common Stock and warrants – this amount is carried on the Company’s balance sheet as a current liability as of June 30, 2022 because the shares have not yet been issued to the investors. The Company used $742,832 of cash for the purchase of equipment during the period and raised $774,591 from the sales for Common Stock and the exercise of stock options.

Cash Flows

 

Net cash used in operating activities amounted to $81,529 and $2,294,501 for the six months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively. The decrease in net cash used in operating activities was primarily a result of an increase in subscription liability in the amount of $1,300,000 and an increase in accounts payable in the amount of $1,227,774 during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we used $742,832 cash for investing activities compared to $270,330 used in the same period in the prior fiscal year. The increase is largely due to costs associated with the customization, installation, and verification and validation testing of the prototype BasaMax™ pultrusion machine, for the modifications and UL listing of the current production machinery, and the final payments for the enhancements made to our production facility as compared to the deposits made on machinery and equipment.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we had $773,740 net cash provided by financing from the sale of Common Stock and warrants for net proceeds of $649,591 and exercise of stock options in the amount of $125,000. During the prior period, cash provided by financing activities was $2,382,726.

 

We do not believe that our cash on hand as of June 30, 2022, will be sufficient to fund our current working capital requirements to the point where we are generating positive cash flow. We have recently entered into several convertible promissory notes to help fund operations and will require additional working capital in the short term. We continue working towards securing more working capital with a preference towards debt which may be convertible to equity. However, there is no assurance that we will be successful in our efforts or, if we are, that the terms will be beneficial to our shareholders.

 

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

The presentation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Please see note 2 to the condensed financial statements included in this report.

 

ITEM 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Not applicable to smaller reporting companies.

 

ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) that are designed to be effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, our Acting Interim Chief Financial Officer and our Controller, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) through June 30, 2022.

 

During our assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2022, management identified material weaknesses related to (i) the U.S. GAAP expertise and experience of our internal accounting personnel and (ii) a lack of segregation of duties within accounting functions. As a result of these material weaknesses, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of June 30, 2022.

 

We are committed to maintaining a strong internal control environment and implementing measures designed to help ensure that the material weaknesses described above are remediated as soon as possible. We believe we will have the opportunity to remediate these weaknesses when adequate funding is secured. We will consider the material weaknesses remediated after the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time, and management has concluded, through testing, that the controls are operating effectively.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, however, readers are cautioned that internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

No change in our system of internal control over financial reporting occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
