Description of Business

 

BioLargo, Inc. is an(“BioLargo”, or the “Company”) invents, develops, and commercializes innovative technology developerplatform technologies to solve challenging environmental problems like PFAS contamination (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), advanced water and wastewater treatment, industrial odor control, air quality control, infection control, and myriad environmental engineering company driven by a mission to “make life better” by delivering robust, sustainable solutions for a broad range of industries and applications, with a focus on clean water, clean air and a cleaner earth. The company also owns a majority interest in a medical products subsidiary that has licensed BioLargo’s technologies.remediation challenges. Our business strategy is straightforward: we invent or acquire technologies that we believe have the potential to be disruptive in large commercial markets; we develop and validate these technologies to advance and promote their commercial success as we leverage our considerable scientific, engineering, and entrepreneurial talent; we then monetize these technical assets through a variety of business structures that may include licensure, joint venture, sale, spin off, or by deploying direct to market strategies.

 

Organization

We are a Delaware corporation formed in 1991. We have five wholly-owned subsidiaries: BioLargo Life Technologies, Inc., organized under the laws of the State of California in 2006; ONM Environmental, Inc., organized under the laws of the State of California in 2009; BioLargo Equipment and Technologies, Inc., organized under the laws of the State of California in 2022; BioLargo Water, Inc. (“Water”), organized under the laws of Canada in 2014; and BioLargo Development Corp., organized under the laws of the State of California in 2016. Additionally, we own 82% (see Note 9) of BioLargo Engineering Science and Technologies, LLC (“BLEST”), organized under the laws of the State of Tennessee in 2017, 58% of Clyra Medical Technologies, Inc. (“Clyra” or “Clyra Medical”), organized under the laws of the State of California in 2012, and 97.1% of BioLargo Energy Technologies, Inc. (“BETI”) organized under the laws of the State of California in 2022. We consolidate the financial statements of our partially owned subsidiaries (see Note 2, subheading “Principles of Consolidation,” and Note 8).

Liquidity / Going concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of our business. For the ninethree months ended September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we generated revenues of $3,742,000 through our subsidiaries (see Note 11), had a net loss of $3,724,000,$494,000, used $2,803,000$43,000 cash in operations, and at September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we had working capital of $1,503,000,$3,075,000, and current assets of $2,532,000. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, we generated revenues of $1,500,000. Only one of$4,874,000. While our subsidiaries – ONM Environmental – generated operating income. (See Note 9.)  

We do not believe gross profitsloss has decreased in the year ended December 31, 2022, or in the immediately subsequentrecent quarterly periods, will be sufficientas has our cash used in operations, we expect to fund our current level of operations, and therefore believe we will havecontinue to obtainneed further investment capital to continue to fund operations, such as through our purchase agreement with Lincoln Park Capital, which expires in March 2023, and private sales of our securities. (See Note 3.)operations. We have been, and anticipate that we will continue to be, limited in terms of our capital resources.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we (i) sold $105,000 of our common stock to Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (“Lincoln Park”) (see Note 3), (ii) sold $695,000 of our common stock and warrants to accredited investors (see Notes 3 and 6), (iii) sold $225,000 of Clyra Medical Series A Preferred Stock (see Note 8), and (iv) sold $550,000 of BETI common stock (see Note 10).

As of March 31, 2023, our cash and cash equivalents totaled $3,264,000. Our total liabilities included a $78,000 vehicle loan, $140,000 due in U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) loans issued pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (see Note 4), $150,000 due to the SBA issued pursuant to the Economic Injury Disaster program (see Note 4), and $247,000 owed by Clyra Medical due in 2024 (see Note 8).

Subsequent to March 31, 2023, we continued to sell common stock to Lincoln Park for working capital as needed (see Note 13).

BIOLARGO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

If we are unable to rely on our current arrangement with Lincoln Park to continue to fund our working capital requirements, we will have to rely on other forms of financing, and there is no assurance that we will be able to do so, or if we do so, it will be on favorable terms.

 

The foregoing factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, unless we are able to continue to raise funds through stock sales to Lincoln Park or other private financings, and in the long term, our ability to attain a reasonable threshold of operating efficiencies and achieve profitable operations by licensing or otherwise commercializing products incorporating our technologies. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Organization

We are a Delaware corporation formed in 1991. We have four wholly-owned subsidiaries: BioLargo Life Technologies, Inc., organized under the laws of the State of California in 2006; ONM Environmental, Inc., organized under the laws of the State of California in 2009; BioLargo Water Investment Group Inc., organized under the laws of the State of California in 2019, which wholly owns BioLargo Water, Inc., organized under the laws of Canada in 2014; and BioLargo Development Corp., organized under the laws of the State of California in 2016. Additionally, we own 89% of BioLargo Engineering Science and Technologies, LLC (“BLEST”), organized under the laws of the State of Tennessee in 2017. We also own 58% of Clyra Medical Technologies, Inc. (“Clyra” or “Clyra Medical”), organized under the laws of the State of California in 2012, and consolidate their financial statements (see Note 2, subheading “Principles of Consolidation,” and Note 8).

The unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and pursuant to Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. For some of our activities, we are still operating in the early stages of the sales and distribution process, and therefore our operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31,2022, or for any other period. These unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 31, 2022.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

In the opinion of management, the accompanying balance sheet and related statements of operations, cash flows, and stockholders’ deficit include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, necessary for their fair presentation in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-ownedwholly owned subsidiaries, and partially-ownedpartially owned subsidiaries BETI, BLEST and Clyra Medical. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Foreign Currency

 

The Company has designated the functional currency of BioLargo Water, Inc., our Canadian subsidiary, to be the Canadian dollar. Therefore, translation gains and losses resulting from differences in exchange rates are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents. Substantially all cash equivalents are held in short-term money market accounts at one of the largest financial institutions in the United States.States, Bank of America. From time to time, our cash account balances are greater than the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limit of $250,000 per owner per bank, and during such times, we are exposed to credit loss for amounts in excess of insured limits in the event of non-performance by the financial institution. We do not anticipate non-performance by our financial institution.

 

As of September 30, 2022March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2021,2022, our cash balances were made up of the following (in thousands):

EquityMethod ofAccounting

 

On March 20, 2020, we invested $100,000 into a South Korean entity (Odin Co. Ltd., “Odin”) pursuant to a Joint Venture agreement we had entered into with BKT Co. Ltd. and its U.S. based subsidiary, Tomorrow Water. We received a 40% non-dilutive equity interest, and BKT and Tomorrow Water each received 30% equity interests for an aggregate $150,000 investment.

BIOLARGO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

We account for our investment in the joint venture under the equity method of accounting. We have determined that while we have significant influence over the joint venture through our technology license and our position on the Board of Directors, we do not control the joint venture or are otherwise involved in managing the entity and we own less than a majority of the equity. Therefore, we record the asset on our consolidated balance sheet and record an increase or decrease the recorded balance by our percentage ownership of the profits or losses in the joint venture. The joint venture has incurred a loss during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 since inception and2021, our 40% ownership share reduced our investment interest during the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022,by $15,000$6,000 and $23,000,$8,000, respectively.

 

Impairment

 

Long-lived and definite lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flows from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition is less than the carrying amount of the asset, then an impairment loss is recognized. The impairment loss is measured based on the fair value of the asset. Any resulting impairment is recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of the related asset in excess of fair value and a charge to operating results. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, management determined that there was no impairment of its long-lived assets, including its patents.

Nevertheless, during the three months ended December 31, 2021, management determined that there was an impairment expense related to the sale back to Scion Solutions, LLC (“Scion’) of certain intellectual property, recorded on our balance sheet as “In-Process Research and Development” and an impairment of Clyra’s prepaid marketing. Total impairment expense for 2021 was $342,000.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

 

We report basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) for common and common share equivalents. Basic EPS is computed by dividing reported earnings by the weighted average shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is computed by adding to the weighted average shares the dilutive effect if convertible notes payable, stock options and warrants were exercised into common stock. For the three and ninemonths ended September 30, 2022March 31, 2023, and 2021,2022, the denominator in the diluted EPS computation is the same as the denominator for basic EPS due to the Company’s net loss which creates an anti-dilutive effect of the convertible notes payable, warrants and stock options on the Company’s net loss.options.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation 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, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and revenues and expenses during the period reported. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates are used when accounting for stock-based transactions, debt transactions, derivative liabilities, allowance for bad debt, asset depreciation and amortization, impairment expense, among others.

 

The methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying these most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results of our financial statements.

 

Share-Based Compensation Expense

 

We recognize compensation expense for stock option awards on a straight-line basis over the applicable service period of the award, which is the vesting period. Fair value is determined on the grant date. Share-based compensation expense is based on the grant date fair value estimated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model.

 

For stock and stock options issued to consultants and other non-employees for services, the Company measures and records an expense as of the earlier of the date at which either: a commitment for performance by the non-employee has been reached or the non-employee’s performance is complete. The equity instruments are measured at the current fair value, and for stock options, the instruments are measured at fair value using the Black Scholes option model.

Expected price volatility is the measure by which our stock price is expected to fluctuate during the expected term of an option. ExpectedThe expected volatility is derived from the historical daily change in the market price of our common stock, as we believe that historical volatility is the best indicator of future volatility.

 

The risk-free interest rate used in the Black-Scholes calculation is based on the prevailing U.S. Treasury yield as determined by the U.S. Federal Reserve. We have never paid any cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.

 

Historically, we have not had significant forfeitures of unvested stock options granted to employees and Directors. A significant number of our stock option grants are fully vested at issuance or have short vesting provisions. Therefore, we have estimated the forfeiture rate of our outstanding stock options as zero.

Warrants

 

Warrants issued with our convertible promissory notes, note payables, line of creditand non-convertible debt instruments are accounted for under the fair value and relative fair value method.

 

The warrant is first analyzed per its terms as to whether it has derivative features or not. If the warrant is determined to be a derivative and not qualify for equity treatment, then it is measured at fair value using the Black Scholes option model and recorded as a liability on the balance sheet. The warrant is re-measured at its then current fair value at each subsequent reporting date (it is “marked-to-market”).

 

If the warrant is determined to not have derivative features, it is recorded into equity at its fair value using the Black Scholes option model, however, limited to a relative fair value based upon the percentage of its fair value to the total fair value including the fair value of the convertible note.

 

Convertible debt instruments are recorded at fair value, limited to a relative fair value based upon the percentage of its fair value to the total fair value including the fair value of the warrant.

 

The warrant relative fair values are also recorded as a discount to the convertible promissory notes. As present, these equity features of the convertible promissory notes have recorded a discount to the convertible notes that is substantially equal to the proceeds received.

Non-Cash Transactions

 

We have established a policy relative to the methodology to determine the value assigned to each intangible we acquire, and/or services or products received for non-cash consideration of our common stock. The value isstock based on the market price of our common stock issued as consideration, at the date of the agreement of each transaction or when the service is rendered or product is received.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

We account for revenue in accordance with ASC 606, “Revenue from Contacts with Customers”. The guidance focuses on the core principle for revenue recognition, which is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, the guidance provides that an entity should apply the following steps:

 

Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer.

9

BIOLARGO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract.

Step 3: Determine the transaction price.

Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract.

Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

 

We generate revenueThe Company’s products are sold through our subsidiaries. For the sale of goods, the subsidiary identifies itsa contract with the customer throughand a written purchase order, in which the details of the contract are defined including the transaction price and method of shipment. The only performance obligation is to create and ship the product, and each product has separate pricing. Revenue is recognized at a point in time when the order for its goods are shipped if itsthe agreement with the customer is FOB manufacturer, and when goods are delivered to its customer if its agreement with the customer is FOB destination. Revenue is recognized with a reduction for sales discounts, as appropriate and negotiated in the customer’s purchase order. In association with certain product purchases, ONM Environmental installs misting systems for which it bills on a time and materials basis. It identifies its contract with the customer through a written purchase order in which the details of the time to be billed and materials purchased and an estimated completion date. The performance obligation is the completion of the installation, and at that time revenue is recognized.

 

For services, such asService contracts are performed through our engineering group, the subsidiary identifies services to be performed in a written contract, which specifies the performance obligations and the rate at which the services will be billed.billed, typically by time and materials. Each service is separately negotiated and priced. Revenue is recognized as services are performed and completed. Servicecompleted, or, for services related to product installations, at the completion of the installation. A few contracts typically call for invoicing for time and materials incurred for that contract, although some providehave called for milestone or fixed cost payments, where we invoice an agreed-to amount is invoiced per month for the life of the contract. In these instances, completed work, billed hourly, is recognized as revenue. If the billing amount is greater or lesser than the completed work, a contract receivable or contract liabilitypayable is created. As of September 30, 2022, we had $6,000 of contract liability. As of December 31, 2021, we had contract liability totaling $89,000.These accounts are adjusted upon additional billings as the work is completed. To date, there have been no discounts or other financing terms for the contracts.

We recognized $8,000 in revenue and reduce the deferred revenue balance by the same amount as performance obligations were satisfied in the three months ended March 31 ,2023. The outstanding balance will be recognized over the remaining life of the contracts.

Royalties

As we generate revenues from royalties or license fees from our intellectual property, area licensee will pay a license fee in one or more installments and ongoing royalties based on the licensee’stheir sales of products incorporating or using our licensed intellectual property. We have entered into a licensing agreement for the CupriDyne Clean product, and we recognize royalty and license fees on a quarterly basis as the product is sold through to third parties and reported to us.

Clyra also has certain distribution agreements that call for consigned inventory. Although the product is shipped to a third party, it is not revenue until that consigned inventory is sold to end user customer.

 

Government Grants

 

We have been awarded multiple research grants from the private and public Canadian National Research Institute – Industrial Research Assistance Program (NRC-IRAP) and the National Science and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC).research programs. The income we receive directly from grants received are consideredis recorded as other income and are included in our consolidated statements of operations.income. We received our first grant in 2015 and have been awarded over 80 grants totaling over $3.7 million.since our first in 2015. Some of the funds from these grants are given directly to third parties (such as the University of Alberta or a third-party research scientist) to support research on our technology. The grants have terms generally ranging between ninesix and eighteen months and support a majority, but not all, of the related research budget costs. This cooperative research allows us to utilize (i) a depth of resources and talent to accomplish highly skilled work, (ii) financial aid to support research and development costs, (iii) independent and credible validation of our technical claims.

 

The grants typically provide for (i) recurring monthly amounts, (ii) reimbursement of costs for research talent for which we invoice to request payment, and (iii) ancillary cost reimbursement for research talent travel related costs. All awarded grants have specific requirements on how the money is spent, typically to employ researchers. None of the funds may be used for general administrative expenses or overhead in the United States. These grants have substantially increased our level of research and development activities in Canada. We continue to apply for Canadian government and agency grants to fund research and development activities. Not all of our grant applications have been awarded, and no assurance can be made that any pending grant application, or any future grant applications, will be awarded.

Income Taxes

 

The asset and liability approach is used to recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of asset and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The effect on deferred tax asset and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

We account for uncertainties in income tax law under a comprehensive model for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns as prescribed by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).  Under GAAP, the tax effects of a position are recognized only if it is “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the taxing authority as of the reporting date.  If the tax position is not considered “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained, then no benefits of the position are recognized.  Management believes there are no unrecognized tax benefits or uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2021.2022.

 

The Company assessed its earnings history, trends and estimates of future earnings and determined that the deferred tax asset could not be realized as of September 30,March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022. Accordingly, a valuation allowance was recorded against the net deferred tax asset.

 

The Company recognizes interest and penalties on income taxes as a component of income tax expense, should such an expense be realized.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Management believes the carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments (excluding debt and equity instruments) as of September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021,2022 approximate their respective fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Such instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, prepaid assets, accounts payable, linesline of credit, and other assets and liabilities. The carrying amount of debt instruments are believed to approximate fair value as the stated interest rates are reflective of the prevailing market rates.

Tax Credits

 

Our research and development activities in Canada may entitle our Canadian subsidiary to claim benefits under the “Scientific Research and Experimental Development Program”, a Canadian federal tax incentive program designed to encourage Canadian businesses of all sizes and in all sectors to conduct research and development in Canada. Benefits under the program include credits to taxable income. If our Canadian subsidiary does not have taxable income in a reporting period, we instead receive a tax refund from the Canadian Revenue Authority. A refund has been submitted totaling $54,000, which isThose refunds are classified in Other Income on our Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

 

Leases

 

In At inception of a lease contract, we assess whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. Our assessment is based on: (February 2016,1) whether the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, (2) whether we obtain the right to substantially all the economic benefit from the use of the asset throughout the period of the contract, and (3) whether we have the right to direct the use of the asset during such time period. At inception of a lease, we allocate the consideration in the contract to each lease component based on its relative stand-alone price to determine the lease payments. Leases are classified as either finance leases or operating leases. A lease must be classified as a finance lease if any of the following criteria are met: the lease transfers ownership of the asset by the end of the lease term, the lease contains an option to purchase the asset that is reasonably certain to be exercised, the lease term is for a major part of the remaining useful life of the asset or the present value of the lease payments equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the asset. A lease is classified as an operating lease if it does not meet any of these criteria. We have no leases classified as finance leases. As of March 31, 2023, the FASB issued ASU Update No.2016-02, “Leases,” which requires lessees to recognize mostweighted average remaining lease term for our operating leases on their balance sheets aswas nine years. The weighted average discount rate for our operating leases was 18%. For all leases at the lease commencement date, a right-of-use asset withand a corresponding lease liability are recognized. The right-of-use asset represents the right to use the leased asset for the lease term. The lease liability represents the present value of the lease payments under the lease. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which primarily comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, plus any initial direct costs incurred, consisting mainly of brokerage commissions, less any lease incentives received. All right-of-use assets are reviewed for impairment. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, management estimates the incremental borrowing rate, which currently is estimated to be 18%. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following: the fixed noncancelable lease payments, payments for optional renewal periods where it is reasonably certain the renewal period will be exercised, and lessorspayments for early termination options unless it is reasonably certain the lease will not be terminated early. Lease components are included in the measurement of the initial lease liability. Additional payments based on a change in our portion of the operating expenses, including real estate taxes and insurance, are recorded as a period expense when incurred. Lease modifications result in remeasurement of the lease liability. Lease expense for operating leases consists of the lease payments plus any initial direct costs, primarily brokerage commissions, and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We have elected not to recognize a net lease investment. Additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures are also required (see Note 10). We adopted this standard effective January 1, 2019 using the effective date option, as approved by the FASB in July 2018, which resulted in a $399,000 gross up ofright-of-use assets and liabilities; this balancelease liabilities for short-term leases that have a term of may 12fluctuate over time as we enter into new months or less. The effect of short-term leases extend or terminate current leases. Upon on our right-of-use asset and lease liability was not material.

As of March 31, 2023, the transition to ASC 842, the Company elected to use hindsight as a practical expedient with respect to determiningright-of-use assets totaled $837,000 and the lease terms and in assessing any impairment of right-of-use assets for existing leases. No impairment is expected at this time. As of September 30, 2022, the right of use assetsliability totaled $844,000 on our balance sheet related to our operating leases totals $896,000.leases.

Equipment

Equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from 3 - 5 years. Additions, renewals, and betterments that significantly extend the life of the asset are capitalized. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. For assets sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the accounts, and any related gain or loss is reflected in income for the period.

Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, which sets out the principles for the recognition of measurement of credit losses on financial instruments, including trade receivables. The standard eliminates the probable initial recognition threshold and requires an entity to reflect its current estimate of all expected credit losses. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial assets to present the net amount expected to be collected. The new standard was effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2023 and primarily impacted trade accounts receivable. 

Accounts receivable are customer obligations that are unconditional. Accounts receivable are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts for expected credit losses, which represents an estimate of amounts that may not be collectible. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and, if necessary, provides an allowance for doubtful accounts and expected credit losses. A provision to the allowances for doubtful accounts for expected credit losses is recorded based on factors including the length of time the receivables are past due, the current business environment, and the Company’s historical experience. Provisions to the allowances for doubtful accounts for expected credit losses are recorded to general and administrative expenses. The Company writes off accounts receivable against the allowance when it determines a balance is uncollectible and no longer actively pursues collection of the receivable. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to customers. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the allowance for doubtful accounts for expected credit losses was $12,000.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In August 2020,the FASB issued Accounting Standards UpdateNo.2020-06,“Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging— Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity”. For convertible instruments, the FASB decided to reduce the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. Limiting the accounting models results in fewer embedded conversion features being separately recognized from the host contract as compared with current GAAP. Convertible instruments that continue to be subject to separation models are (1) those with embedded conversion features that arenotclearly and closely related to the host contract, that meet the definition of a derivative, and that donotqualify for a scope exception from derivative accounting and (2) convertible debt instruments issued with substantial premiums for which the premiums are recorded as paid-in capital. The FASB decided to amend the guidance for the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity to reduce form-over-substance-based accounting conclusions. The FASB observed that the application of the derivatives scope exception guidance results in accounting for some contracts as derivatives while accounting for economically similar contracts as equity. The FASB also decided to improve and amend the related EPS guidance. The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities that meet the definition of a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filer, excluding entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021,including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023,including interim periods within those fiscal years; early adoption is permitted. Management has evaluated this update and adopted it as of January 1, 2022. In do so, we evaluated the convertible debt issued by Clyra Medical during the three months ended June 30, 2022 (see Note 8), and determined that the beneficial conversion feature was fixed at the time of issuance and not an embedded derivative under Subtopic 815-15.  As a result of the early adoption,Currently there are no other potential affects onrecently released pronouncements that are considered applicable to the Company’s current financial statements.

Dargan, II formally agreed to extend the engagement agreement dated February 1, 2008 (the “Engagement Agreement”, which had been previously extended multiple times), pursuant to which Mr. Dargan has been and continues to serve as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer. The Engagement Extension Agreement dated as of March 22, 202221, 2023 (the “Engagement Extension Agreement”) provides for an additional one-year term to expire January 31, 20232024 (the “Extended Term”)., at which time Mr. Dargan will continue to serve as CFO, unless and until either party terminates the agreement.

 

As the sole compensation for the Extended Term, Mr. Dargan was issued an option (“Option”) to purchase 25,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for each month during the Extended Term (thus, an option to purchase 300,000 shares reflecting an extended term of 12 months). The Option vests over the period of the Extended Term, with 25,000 shares having vested as of March 22, 2022,21, 2023, and the remaining shares to vest 25,000 shares monthly beginning March 22, 2022,31, 2023, and each month thereafter, so long as the agreement is in full force and effect. The Option is exercisable at $0.24$0.20 per share, the closing price of BioLargo’s common stock on the March 22, 2022,21, 2023 the grant date, expires ten years from the grant date, and was issued pursuant to the Company’s 2018 Equity Incentive Plan.

 

The Option is Mr. Dargan’s sole compensation for the Extended Term. As was the case in all prior terms of his engagement, there is no cash component of his compensation for the Extended Term. Mr. Dargan is eligible to be reimbursed for business expenses he incurs in connection with the performance of his services as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer (although he has made no such requests for reimbursement in the past). All other provisions of the Engagement Agreement not expressly amended pursuant to the Engagement Extension Agreement remain the same, including provisions regarding indemnification and arbitration of disputes.

Warrant issued in conjunction with amendment to note payable

On March 6, 2023, we entered into an agreement with the holder of a $50,000 note (see Note 4, “Convertible note payable, matures March 1, 2023”) to convert that note into common stock of BETI. As payment for interest, a warrant to purchase 200,000 shares of BioLargo common stock at $0.21 was issued to the investor, expiring five years from the grant date. The fair value of this warrant totaled $30,000 and was recorded as interest expense on our statement of operations.

Fair Value Interest Expense

 

To determine interest expense related to our outstanding warrants issued in conjunction with debt offerings, the fair value of each award grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the relative fair values are amortized over the life of the warrant. For the determination of expense of warrants issued for services, extinguishment of debt and settlement management also uses the option-pricing model. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021,no warrantsThe principal assumptions we used in applying this model were issued in conjunction with debt offerings.as follows:

Clyra issues options to its employees and consultants in lieu of compensation owed on a regular basis.  As of December 31, 2021, the Company had issued options to purchase 14,004 shares of Clyra stock. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, Clyra issued options to purchase 1,403 and 2,074 shares of its common stock. Each option issued has an exercise price of $1.00 per share, are vested upon issuance and an expiration date 10 years from the date of grant. The fair value of the options issued in the ninethree months ended September 30, 2022March 31, 2023, and 20212022 totaled $304,000$61,000 and $442,000.$141,000, respectively. We used the Black-Scholes model to calculate the initial fair value, assuming a stock price on date of grant of $310 per share. Because Clyra is a private company with no secondary market for its common stock, the resulting fair value was discounted by 30%. We also used a risk-free rate ranging between 2.32% - 3.83%, a volatility of 40% and an expected life of 10 years.

Note 9. BioLargo Engineering, Science and Technologies, LLC

In September 2017, we commenced a full-service environmental engineering firm and formed a Tennessee entity named BioLargo Engineering, Science & Technologies, LLC (“BLEST”). In conjunction with the start of this subsidiary we entered into employment agreements with six scientists and engineers. (See Note 11 “Business Segment Information”.) BLEST was capitalized with two classes of membership units: Class A, 100% owned by BioLargo, and Class B, held by management of BLEST, and which initially have no “profit interest,” as that term is defined in Tennessee law. However, over the succeeding five years, the Class B members can earn up to a 30% profit interest. They also have been granted options to purchase up to an aggregate 1,750,000 shares of BioLargo, Inc. common stock. The profit interest and option shares are subject to a five year vesting schedule tied to the performance of the subsidiary, including gross revenue targets that increase over time, obtaining positive cash flow by March 31, 2018 (which was not met), collecting 90% of its account receivables, obtaining a profit of 10% in its first year (and increasing in subsequent years) (which was not met), making progress in the scale-up and commercialization of our AOS system, and using BioLargo research scientists (such as our Canadian team) for billable work on client projects. These criteria are to be evaluated annually by BLEST’s compensation committee (which includes BioLargo’s president, CFO, and BLEST’s president), beginning September 2018. Given the significant performance criteria, the Class B units and the stock options will only be recognized in compensation expense if or when the criteria are satisfied.

BIOLARGO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

The BLEST Compensation Committee has met regularly since the subsidiary commenced operations. In 2018, it reviewed the operating performance and determined that the performance metrics were not met and as a result, did not award any Class B units or stock options. In November 2019, it determined that a portion of the performance metrics were met, and that one-half of the eligible profits interests would be vested (2.5% in the aggregate), and therefore one-half of the option interests (10%) would be vested (175,000 options shares in the aggregate). The vesting of option shares resulted in a fair value totaling $44,000, recorded on our consolidated statement of operations as selling, general and administrative expense. The fair value of the profit interest was nominal and not booked. In January 2021, the committee again reviewed the operating performance and determined that a portion of the performance metrics were met. It was agreed that one-half and one-quarter of the eligible profit interests would be vested (3.75% in the aggregate), and therefore one-half of the option interests (15%) would be vested (262,500 options shares in the aggregate). The vesting of option shares resulted in a fair value totaling $65,000, recorded on our consolidated statement of operations as selling, general and administrative expense for the year ended December 31, 2020. In January 2022, the committee again reviewed the operating performance and determined that a portion of the performance metrics were met. It was agreed that an additional one-half and one-quarter of the eligible profits interests would be vested (11.25% in the aggregate), and therefore an additional half of the option interests would be vested (525,000 options shares in the aggregate). The vesting of option shares resulted in a fair value totaling $65,000, recorded on our consolidated statement of operations as selling, general and administrative expense for the year ended December 31, 2021. In December 2022, the committee again reviewed the operating performance and determined that a portion of the performance metrics were met. It was agreed that an additional one-half and one-quarter of the eligible profits interests would be vested (17.75% in the aggregate), and therefore an additional half of the option interests would be vested (1,242,500 options shares in the aggregate). The vesting of option shares resulted in a fair value totaling $135,000 and is recorded on our consolidated statement of operations as selling, general and administrative expense for the year ended December 31, 2022.

At March 31, 2023, BioLargo owns 82.25% of BLEST.

Note 10. BioLargo Energy Technologies, Inc.

Subsidiary BioLargo Energy Technologies, Inc. (“BETI”) was formed for the purpose of commercializing a sodium-sulfur battery technology.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, BETI sold 325,000 shares of its common stock to six accredited investors for $2.00 per share. Of that amount, BioLargo purchased 50,000 shares for $100,000, and one investor converted a $50,000 note owed by BioLargo into 25,000 shares. Net proceeds from third parties totaled $550,000.

Each investor also entered into an agreement with BioLargo whereby the investor may exchange some or all of its shares of BETI common stock into shares of BioLargo common stock, at a price equal to a 20% discount of the volume weighted average price over the 20 trading days prior to the election to exchange. Elections must be made during calendar year 2024.

As of March 31, 2023, there are 9,325,000 shares outstanding, of which BioLargo holds 9,050,000.

Note 11. Business Segment Information

 

BioLargo currently has four operating business segments, plus its corporate entity which is responsible for general corporate operations, including administrative functions, finance, human resources, marketing, legal, etc. The four operational business segments are:

Clyra Medical Technologies (“Clyra”Clyra Medical”) -- which develops and sells medical products based on our technologies, including BioClynse wound irrigation solution;technologies;

 

3.

BLEST -- which provides professional engineering services on a time and materials basis for outside clients and supports our internal operations as needed (located in Oak Ridge, Tennessee); and

 

4.

BioLargo Water (“Water”) -- which historically focused entirely on R&D, and has now shifted its focus to commercializing the AOS technology (located in Edmonton, Alberta Canada).

5.

Historically, Other than ONM Environmental during the last three quarterly periods, none of our operating business units have operated at a profit, (other than ONM this last quarter)  and therefore each required additional cash to meet its monthly expenses, funded through BioLargo’s sales of debt or equity, research grants, and tax credits. BETI and Clyra Medical hashave also been funded by third party investors who invest directly in Clyra Medical in exchange for equity ownership in that entity.

Office Leases

 

We have long-term operating leases for office, industrial and laboratory space in Westminster, California, Oak Ridge, Tennessee, and Alberta, Canada. Payments made under operating leases are charged to the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the operating lease agreement. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, rental expense was $228,000 and $170,000, respectively.  As of September 30, 2022, our weighted average remaining lease term is nine years and the total remaining operating lease payments is $1,859,000.

We have long-term operating leases for office, industrial and laboratory space in Westminster, California, Oak Ridge, Tennessee, and Alberta, Canada. Payments made under operating leases are charged to the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the operating lease agreement. On January 1, 2019, we adopted ASC 842 which resulted in a right-of-use asset and lease liability. Short-term leases less than one-year are not included in our analysis. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022, rental expense was $83,000 and $63,000. The lease of our Westminster facility expires August 2024. It is too early for management to determine ifManagement has not yet determined whether it will exercise its option to extend the lease four years,years; therefore the four-year extension is not included in the analysis. In September 2022, the lease of our Oak Ridge, Tennessee facility was extended for ten years. The ten year lease added $443,000 to our right of use and lease liability on our September 30, 2022 balance sheet. The lease of our Canadian facility is less than one year. None of our leases have additional terms related to the payments or mechanics of the lease. The leases have no additional payment terms such as common area maintenance payments, tax sharing payments or other allocable expenses. Likewise, the leases do not contain other terms and conditions of use, such as variable lease payments, residual value guaranties or other restrictive financial terms. Since there is no explicit interest rate in our leases, management used its incremental borrowing rate, which is estimated to be 18% to determine lease liability.

In

Our revenues increased 288% in the third quarter ofthree months ended March 31, 2023, as compared with the same period in 2022, we again set a new company-wide quarterly revenue record, building onhaving more than doubled in the second quarter’s unprecedented performance. As a result,year ended December 31, 2022, as compared with the Companyyear ended December 31, 2021. The standout has already locked in a record revenue growth rate for the entire year, even before the fourth quarter. A standout this quarter wasbeen the pet odor product (brand name “Pooph”) sold by our consumer packaged goods partners at Ikigai called Pooph,Marketing Works, whose sales contributed significantly to the record product revenues of our odor and VOC control products division ONM Environmental.Environmental, and comprised 86% of our revenues in the quarter.

 

The Company hasWe have several key ongoing projects that Company management believes will stimulate accelerated growth through 2023. These are:

 

 

The expected launch in major retailers of the Pooph pet odor control product by the Company’sour consumer packaged goods partners at Ikigai, which is expected to start in Q4.Ikigai.

 

 

Our first PFAS removal project at a large industrial site (announced in August)August 2022), currently in the initial phase of a multi-phase process, which we expect to continue advancing as we engineer a comprehensive PFAS mitigation plan.

 

25

 

Expanded commercial roll-out of the company’sour PFAS treatment technology through itsa growing network of sales rep organizations.

 

 

Garratt-Callahan’s launch of the jointly developed minimal liquid discharge wastewater treatment product.

 

 

The Company’sOur engineering work with Ultra Safe Nuclear.

 

 

Our engineering services division completed the first phase of adivision’s engagements as consultants to support large capital project inprojects which are sponsored and or financed by the cleantech and environmental technologies space - a waste-to-energy conversion plant in South America (see Waste-to-Energy Conversion Plant Project below). This project is expected to advance to additional phases in 2023, and has the potential to lead to additional projects of a similar nature.customers.

These projects are of a greater commercial significance than projects contracted and executed in previous years. Company management believes BioLargo is now earning more significant commercial opportunities for multiple reasons:         

1.

Credibility

First, we have built our credibility as cleantech technology innovators and environmental engineering service providers to the point where clients, potential clients, and prospective partners rightfully view us as an effective and reliable means to solve their challenges. We operate with a mandate to serve our customers and partners with technical excellence, provide timely and cost-effective results, and a commitment to helping them make the best choices for any particular challenge.

2.

Channel Partner Relationships

We have key relationships that we believe will continue advancing to become high-revenue and profit generating projects with channel partners such as Garratt-Callahan  and Ikigai, as well as our new channel partners in the PFAS remediation industry.

3.

Investments in Talent and Technology

This “critical mass” of credibility as a cleantech solutions provider is a result of our investments in our talented team of engineers, scientists and team members who have a proven track record of executing complex engineering projects, and our history of developing creative and powerful new technologies that work and are best of class. Secondly, our core patented water treatment technologies, the BioLargo Advanced Oxidation System (AOS) and Aqueous Electrostatic Concentrator (AEC), have now been demonstrated in successful pilot projects, either on-site at a prospective client’s facility, or in-house with client-provided contaminated waters.

Purpose

 

Our mission to make life better drives us to serve others with integrity, knowledge, technology, and solutions that protect the environment, improve quality of life, and protect lives. AllMost of our technologies were developed from the ground-up to be sustainable, practical solutions to significant global challenges. We are unique in our ability to tailor our offerings to serve our customers with proven expertise, proven technology and, if needed, we often have the ability to develop new technical solutions to meet our customer’scustomers’ needs.

 

Combating the PFAS Forever-Chemical Crisis – the AEC

 

One of the most significant and timely innovations in our portfolio is our per- and poly-fluoroalkylpolyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) removal and collection/disposal solution we call the Aqueous Electrostatic Concentrator (AEC). Our engineers developed and are now commercializing the AEC, which is a novel water treatment system that removes PFAS from water at a fraction of thelower operating cost and generating only a fraction of the PFAS-laden waste of the most common currently used solutions (carbon filtration, ion exchange, and reverse osmosis). PFAS chemicals have been linked to cancer, immune disorders, liver dysfunction, and many other human health problems, and are contained in a vast range of manufactured goods, common household products (e.g., cleaning products, cookware), and electronics, and contaminate drinking water in unsafe levels all over the globe.

 

PFAS is often referred to as the “contaminant of the decade”, and as such, it is considered a multi-billion dollar commercial market opportunity. The current White House has made theEPA proposed new drinking water standards on March 14, 2023, limiting certain PFAS crisischemicals to four parts per trillion – a critical agenda item and experts expect the EPA and local regulatory agencies to continue to tighten the regulatory requirements to mitigate, manage and limit human exposure to PFAS, all of which westandard our AEC can meet. We believe these proposed rules will continue to push the market to find and adopt commercially viable solutions. Notably,solutions to remove PFAS chemicals from water. Additionally, some emerging regulations on PFAS in the U.S. are expected to skew the market toward seeking treatment technologies that produce as little PFAS-laden solid waste as possible, a favorable trend for our AEC that generates very little PFAS-laden waste. Detection of unsafe levels of PFAS around the world has given rise to a number of market opportunities, including in drinking water, industrial wastewater, municipal wastewater, solid waste, organic foods and more.

 

We have successfully validated the AEC as an effective system to selectively extract and collect PFAS chemicals from contaminated water including performance testing that shows “non-detect” levels of removal.removal, which meets new EPA standards. We have demonstrated more than nine months of continuous operation showing no materially significant degradation of the AEC system’s components or performance over time. We have also successfully demonstrated thatAs a modular system, we believe the AEC is scalable to a commercial scale, and we believe that our engineering team has the proven experience to successfully deliver systems to meet the needs of a commercial installation and sale. Our team has a history of successful execution in the environmental remediation industry and the knowhow to successfully commercialize the AEC.installation.

 

In August 2022, ourwe began engineering division secured its first customer to engineer a comprehensive PFAS mitigation plan for client operating an industrial site. The customer contractinitial preliminary engineering phase and project budgeting is complete. We recently delivered a proposal for a system that will serve as a mobile commercial pilot, and scoping, preliminary design and budget for the first phasebuilding of what is expected to be a multi-phase comprehensive PFAS remediation project. The contract was secured in collaboration with a new channel partner, which has been appointed to promote, market, and distribute BioLargo’s water treatment equipment and PFAS-related engineering and project integration services.the full-scale system.

27

 

The AEC’s commercial roll-out will be executed with the help of a network of sales representative organizations whose role will be to market and sell the treatment system, related equipment, and the Company’s engineering services to municipal and industrial customers across the country. Thus far, weWe have already secured channel partner agreements with several sales representative organizations and have verbal commitments from several more as a result of our own business development efforts at recent water industry trade shows. Assuming all these companies sign with us, we will have sales repensuring coverage for most of the continental United States.

 

In October 2022, we entered into a channel partner agreement with Product Recovery Management, Inc. to sell, distribute and act as a contract manufacturer for the AEC and other BioLargo water treatment technologies. Product Recovery Management (PRM) (https://www.prmfiltration.com/), based out of Butner, NC, is a UL-certified equipment integrator specializing in remediation services with over 40 years of history serving customers. PRM designs and manufactures treatment systems that address a wide variety of contamination challenges in the remediation and landfill industries, including PFAS contamination. Their Butner operations include a 250,000 square foot manufacturing facility with large-scale fabrication capabilities.

 

We are also in negotiations with multiple prospective industrial and municipal customers to treat PFAS contaminated water.  Having completed our initial testing of client water (to “non-detect” levels) from a leading water district in Southern California, we are in continuing discussions with their technical team to organize a practical commercial field trial. In light of the fact that we now have our first commercial project under contract, we believe that our expected success with an industrial customer will be a key factor to help advance marketing efforts in the municipal market as well as potentially minimizeminimizing the need for small scale field piloting.piloting, which can be expensive and time consuming.

ONM Environmental - Industrial Odor and VOC Solutions

 

ONM Environmental, Inc. is BioLargo’s subsidiary that delivers robust and comprehensive products and services to control and mitigate odor and volatile organic compounds (“VOCs”) emitted from a variety of industrial activities, including landfills and other waste handling facilities. Its flagship product CupriDyne® Clean reduces and eliminates tough odors and VOCs in various industrial settings. CupriDyneCupriDyne® Clean is delivered through misting systems, sprayers, water trucks and similar water delivery systems designed, manufactured and installed by ONM. We believe the product is the number-one performing odor-control product in the market, and that it offers substantial savings to our customers compared with competing products. ONM Environmental holds General, Electrical, Plumbing and Low Voltage contractor licenses issued by the California Contractors State License Board, and offers a menu of services to landfills, transfer stations, wastewater treatment facilities as well as facilities in non-waste related industries. These services include engineering design, construction, installation, ongoing maintenance and on-site support services to assist our clients in the implementation and continued use of the various systems that deliver our liquid products in the field (such as misting systems).

 

We have been and expect to continue selling product to the largest solid waste handling companies in the country, with a portion of chemistry product sales resulting from national purchasing agreements (NPAs) with large waste handling companies. ONM Environmental, and are also is currently servicing an exclusive three-year supply contract with a large municipality in Southern California for the delivery of CupriDyne Clean, which will provide a steady source of chemistry supply revenue for the company over the next three years.serving municipalities.

 

In addition to its goal to keep growing its revenues organically through the sale of odor and VOC control chemistry and air quality control systems to its primary market segment (municipal solid waste handling in California), ONM Environmental aims to accelerate its growth through development of new sales and distribution channels. Some of these, includingchannels without being limited by our own sales and distribution infrastructure, such as through our partnership with Ikigai Marketing Works, LLC (see “Consumer Packaged Goods Products” below) and our joint venture with BKT Co. Ltd. in South Korea are already actively advancing toward their end-goal, which is to foster new distribution opportunities for our patented odor and VOC control chemistry without being limited by our own sales and distribution infrastructure..

 

Consumer Packaged Goodsand Private-Label Products

 

We sell pet odor-control products under the brand “Pooph” to Ikigai Marketing Works, LLC, founded by accomplished industry executives from the consumer-packaged goods industry who have executed successful launches of at least five blockbuster products.LLC. After a successful test marketing phase, they have been executing a national advertising campaign through extensive television and internet advertising and have launched the product for web sales on their own website and on Amazon, and are launchingAmazon. In late 2022, Ikigai launched the products soonPooph product in major retailersa limited number of Walmart retail stores, expanding to Walmart stores nationwide in the United States (including Walmart).second quarter of 2023. Our agreement with Ikigai grants them an exclusive license to sell the Pooph pet odor-control product, provided certain minimum volume thresholds are met once retail sales begin, and requires, in addition to purchasing product from us at an agreed-upon manufacturing margin, they are required to pay us an additional six percent of their sales.

As Ikigai has expanded their national television advertising, their sales have increased, and correspondingly, their purchase of product from us has increased, such that for the three months ended March 31, 2023, it comprised 86% of our total (company-wide) revenue.

South Korean Joint Venture

In February 2020 we executed a 6% royalty“Joint Venture Framework Agreement” with a leading wastewater treatment solution provider based in South Korea (BKT Co. Ltd., “BKT”), to create a South Korean entity that would manufacture odor and VOC control products based on sales.our CupriDyne® Clean products. We own 40% of the joint venture. Although the joint venture established manufacturing and is marketing the product, the COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted the expected growth of the company. While the management team continues to market the product to industrial clients, their efforts have struggled to gain a foothold, and we are in negotiationsdiscussions to expand their rights underlicense to allow for the license agreement.

sale of consumer products.

Sales of Pooph increased significantly in the past quarter, and accounted for a significant portion of revenues earned by our odor and VOC control products division, ONM Environmental. Ikigai management expects this trend of growth to continue, particularly with the expected launch of the product in major retailers in Q4 of 2022 and beyond.

Full Service Environmental Engineering

 

Our subsidiary BioLargo Engineering, Science & Technologies, LLC (“BLEST”) offers full service environmental engineering to third parties and provides engineering support services to our internal teams to accelerate the commercialization of our technologies. Its website is found at www.BioLargoEngineering.com.

 

BLEST focuses its efforts in three areas:

 

 

providing engineering services to third-party clients;

 

 

supporting internal product development and business units’ services to customers (e.g., the AOS); and

 

 

advancing their own technical innovations such as the AEC PFAS treatment technology and the battery energy storage system which was recently added to the portfolio.

 

The subsidiary is located in Oak Ridge (a suburb of Knoxville, Tennessee), and employs a group of scientists and engineers, who collectively worked together for almost 30 years and experience in diverse engineering fields.many of whom are owners of the entity (BioLargo owns 82.25%). The team is led by Randall Moore, who served as Manager of Operations for Consulting and Engineering for the Knoxville office of CB&I Environmental & Infrastructure and was formerly a leader at The Shaw Group, Inc., a Fortune 500 global engineering firm. TheMany of the other team members are also former employees of CB&I and Shaw. TheShaw, with the exception of more recent staff hires. We believe the team is highly experienced across multiple industries and they are considered experts in their respective fields, includingincluding: chemical engineering, wastewater treatment (including design, operations, data gathering and data evaluation), process safety, energy efficiency, air pollution, design and control, technology evaluation, technology integration, air quality management & testing, engineering management, permitting, industrial hygiene, applied research and development, air testing, environmental permitting, HAZOP review, chemical processing, thermal design, computational fluid dynamics, mechanical engineering, mechanical design, NEPDES permitting, RCRA/TSCA compliance and permitting, project management, storm water design & permitting, computer assisted design (CAD), bench chemistry, continuous emission monitoring system operator, data handling and evaluation and decommissioning and decontamination of radiological and chemical contaminated facilities.

In association with Garratt-Callahan, a national industrial water treatment company, BLEST developed a “minimal liquid discharge” (MLD) wastewater treatment system based on Garratt-Callahan proprietaryGarratt-Callahan’s patented technology that is able to reduce industrial wastewater discharge and therefore reduce wastewater discharge fees for customers. Garratt-Callahan is currently preparing to launchmarketing the MLD system to its customers. BLEST will serve as the manufacturing partner and Garratt-Callahan will serve as the selling distributor to leverage their national sales force and over one hundred years of providing services and products to customers. BioLargo’s engineers completed the first full-scale prototype of this new technology and tested it with Garratt-Callahan client provided water, with Garratt-Callahan technical staff present on-site at BLEST’s facility. In this “factory acceptance” testing, the system removed over 98% of the target contaminants from water in continuous operation, in line with results achieved by Garratt-Callahan’s original bench-scale and batch processing tests. This factory acceptance testing was a necessary step before commercial trials and/or sales to Garratt-Callahan customers cancould begin. Garret-CallahanGarratt-Callahan has identified multiple customer prospects, as has BioLargo, through its own marketing efforts. We are working on contractual agreements to move the project forward to first sales.remain confident that this innovation and partnership will find commercial success.

 

In the second quarter of 2022, BLEST was contracted by Ultra Safe Nuclear to assist in producing the first prototype fuel production systems for their revolutionary new nuclear reactor called the Micro Modular Reactor (MMR®). Ultra Safe Nuclear is a Seattle-based nuclear energy innovator, andcompany that has invented a “fission battery” - a fourth generation modular nuclear reactor – that can deliver safe, zero-carbon, cost-effective energy anywhere. The MMR® uses ceramic-encapsulated nuclear fuel – Fully Ceramic Micro-encapsulated (FCM+++) – an extremely rugged and stable fuel with extraordinary high temperature stability. BioLargo has been retained to provide engineering design support, fabrication, and integration for the company’s prototype fuel production systems. Because of the success of the early phase of the project, this project is expected to expand over the coming months in scope and significance to BioLargo, making them an important customer for BLEST.

BioLargo Water and the Advanced Oxidation System – AOS

 

BioLargo Water is our wholly owned subsidiary located in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, that developedwhich has and is commercializing our Advanced Oxidation water treatment system (AOS). The AOS is our patented water treatment device that generates highly oxidative and energetic species of iodine and other molecules which allow it to rapidly and effectively eliminate pathogenic organisms and organic contaminants rapidly and effectively as water passes through the device. The key value proposition of the AOS is its ability to reduce or eliminate a wide variety of waterborne contaminants with high performance while using very little electricity and input chemicals. This is made possible by the highly oxidative iodine compounds and reactive oxygen species generated within the AOS reactor as well as the unique and proprietary physical constitution and geometry of the reactor. Our proof-of-concept studies and on-site pilot projects have generated results that project the AOS will be more cost- and energy-efficient than commonly used advanced water treatment technologies such as UV, electro-chlorination, and ozonation. Furthermore, our technology has been proven capable of removing hard-to-treat organic micropollutants such as pharmaceuticals from water more quickly and energy-efficiently than other technologies. Together, these characteristics make the AOS an economical and versatile tool to enable wastewater treatment and reuse in the face of emerging water contaminants and increasing regulatory scrutiny on industrial wastewater discharge. The capabilities of the AOS as a sustainable water treatment technology have been the subject of several high-impact academic papers in scientific journals. The company pursues a policy of publishing about the technology in academic journals as much as possible in order to promote transparency about the technology’s safety and efficacy while also contributing to the field of advanced water treatment science. In June of 2022, the fourth peer-reviewed scientific paper about the AOS was published, in the journal Environmental Science and Pollution Research.

 

BioLargo’s AOS water treatment technology has completed several pre-commercial demonstration pilots, including one at a poultry farm in Alberta, one at a microbrewery in Southern California, and another in Southern California where stormwater was treated by the AOS. It has an ongoing pilot near Montreal to treat municipal wastewater. It is our belief that once these pre-commercial pilots have concluded with the AOS, our ability to entice major water industry players to partner with BioLargo Water to accelerate market adoption of the AOS will be increased dramatically. Our team in Canada is in discussions with potential early adopters in the agriculture space, and has secured significant provincial and federal grant funding to help defray the cost of a first commercial project.

In the first quarter of 2022, BioLargo Water received a grant from Next Generation Manufacturing Canada (NGen) to support the company’s collaboration with a specialized electrical component designer to assist in optimizing the electrical performance of the AOS with the ultimate goal of maximizing the lifespan of the AOS’ components. In the second quarter of 2022, the development work funded by this grant advanced, focusing on improving the performance of the conductive materials within the AOS which allow for water disinfection and decontamination.

 

The AOS has been included as a component of treatment train (comprehensive system) for a number of projects being scoped and budgeted through our engineering subsidiary. In addition, it has been included in the catalog of offerings being sold through our independent representatives as well as channel partners.

Municipal Wastewater Treatment Pilot Montreal

 

Our commercial-scale AOS demonstration pilot (run in partnership with acclaimed water experts at the Centre des Technologies de L’Eau) at a municipal wastewater treatment plant near Montreal, Quebec, is ongoing and providing important data that shows the AOS is removing five target pharmaceuticals from the wastewater faster and using less electricity than the ultraviolet (UV) disinfections system used in the facility. Notably, the pilot project also showed that the AOS was able to also remove total coliforms (bacteria) from the municipal wastewater more effectively than the UV disinfection system currently in use at the facility.

In January 2022, BioLargo Water was awarded a grant from the government of Canada’s Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) that allowed for the extension of the pilot project to allow for use of a new, higher flow-rate AOS system, as well as the installation of an AEC system at the pilot to assess its removal of PFAS chemicals from the municipality’s wastewater. This AEC systemwastewater, which was recently shipped to the municipal wastewater treatment plant, and is expected to be installed and operational shortly.completed successfully.

ConclusionBioLargo Energy Technologies, Inc.

 

InBioLargo acquired a proprietary sodium-sulfur battery technology and has formed and secured initial seed capital for a subsidiary – BioLargo Energy Technologies, Inc. (“BETI”) – designed to address the past quarter:ongoing shift toward renewable energy production and the growth in global electricity demand, and the consequent drastic expansion in energy storage capacity in the US and world-wide that will be needed to accommodate increased demand and the intermittent nature of renewable energy sources like wind and solar.

The initial capital raised – $650,000 – will be used to construct prototype batteries. These batteries will be tested to confirm energy efficiency, useful life expectancy, energy density, safety profile, number of charge/discharge cycles, and other technical claims that differentiate the battery from incumbent technologies. Batteries built based on the underlying technology a decade ago demonstrated features that far surpass comparable lithium-ion batteries, the dominant incumbent technology in the market:

Our battery technology operates at higher temperatures, and its casing and materials when combined, are heavier than lithium-ion, making it more suitable for stationary energy storage applications like grid-scale energy storage, electric vehicle charging stations, and commercial and residential energy storage, and believed to be less suitable for placement into electric vehicles or portable electronics. We are currently building out facilities to manufacture prototype batteries in our Oak Ridge Tennessee operations.

ONM Environmental’s revenues forincreased 491% (to $3,543,000) in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, were $1,199,000 and $2,499,000, an increase of $779,000 and $1,441,000 from the same periods in 2021, and an increase of $411,000 asMarch 31, 2023, compared with the same period in the prior quarter. year. Revenues in the quarter were comprised primarily of $3,218,000 in revenues to one customer selling private label products, and $431,000 in revenues of its industrial odor-control product CupriDyne Clean.

The increase in revenues was almost entirely due to an increase in the volume of sales of private label odor-control products, specifically the Pooph branded pet-odor product and an increase in license royalties from salespurchased by Ikigai, which comprised 91% of the Pooph branded pet-odor product. License royalties were $218,000 and $316,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022; no license royalties were recognized in the same periods in 2021.ONM Environmental’s revenue total. Because ONM Environmental has no control over theIkigai’s marketing and sales activity or levels of its private-label clients, including Pooph, it cannot predict sales volumes related to these clients in future periods.

Cost of Goods Sold (ONM Environmental)

ONM Environmental’s revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, were $1,199,000 and $2,499,000, an increase of $779,000 and $1,441,000 from the same periods in 2021, and an increase of $411,000 as compared with the prior quarter. The increase in revenues was almost entirely due to an increase in the volume sales of private label odor-control products, specifically the Pooph branded pet-odor product, and an increase in license royalties from sales of the Pooph branded pet-odor product. License royalties were $218,000 and $316,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022; no license royalties were recognized in the same periods in 2021. Because ONM Environmental has no control over the marketing and sales activity or levels of Pooph, it cannot predict its sales volumes relatedof the product to itIkigai in future periods. Management at PoophIkigai has indicated their intentions to continue their national advertising campaign as they place the product in national retail chains.chains, including the introduction of the product in Walmart nationally. Their execution of those future plans has inherent risks that are out of our control. (See Part II, Item 1A, and the risk factor titled “A significant portion of our revenue is concentrated with one customer.”) Given the foregoing, management cannot be certain of the continued purchase of the Pooph product by Ikigai. Their failure to continue to purchase product would have a material impact on ONM Environmental’s revenues.

Industrial odor-control revenues increased 42% in the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared with the same period in the prior year, and increased 16% compared with the prior quarter (ended December 31, 2022).

Cost of Goods Sold (ONM Environmental)

ONM Environmental’s cost of goods sold includes costs of raw materials, contract manufacturing, and portions of depreciation, salaries and expenses related to the manufacturing and installation of its products. As a percentage of revenue, ONM Environmental’s costs of goods decreased 3% for the three months ended March 31, 2023, to 49%, compared to the same period in 2022, due to increased sales. Cost of goods sold increased 2% from the prior three months ended December 31, 2022. The fluctuation in cost of goods is due our efforts to improve margins in in our private-label products, and increases in raw material costs.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense (ONM Environmental)

ONM Environmental’s selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 22% ($65,000) during the three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared with the same period in 2022. These expenses increased due to a increase of sales and support staff. We expect these expenses to increase to add support if revenue continues to increase in the year ending December 31, 2023.

 

Operating Income (ONM Environmental)

 

For the three and nine month ended September 30, 2022, ONM Environmental generated operating income of $400,000 and $418,000, compared with an operating loss of $72,000 and $355,000 for$1,387,000 in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. Provided that its private-label clients continueMarch 31, 2023, compared to increase their purchaseoperating income of $13,000 in 2022. The generation of operating income this past quarter was entirely dependent on sale of Pooph product we expect this trend to continue.Ikigai.

Revenue (BLEST)

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, ourOur engineering segment (BLEST) generated $283,000 and $1,254,000$193,000 of revenue from third parties,in the three months ended March 31, 2023, net of intersegment revenue, compared to $281,000 and $555,000 for the same three and nine months$357,000 in 2021.2022, representing a 45% decrease. The increasedecrease is due to completion of projects, an increaseda decrease in the number of client contracts, an increase in intercompany services, and multiple clients delaying the recognitionstart of $83,000 of deferred revenue for ongoing projects that had achieved certain completion milestones.projects.

In addition to providing serviceservices to third party clients, BLEST provides services to BioLargo and its subsidiaries for internal BioLargo projects. These services are billed internally, are considered intersegment revenue, and are eliminated in the consolidation of our financial statements. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, intersegment revenue for BLEST totaled $118,000$170,000, consisting primarily of research and $359,000, compared to $135,000 and $515,000 for the same periods in 2021. Intersegment revenue primarily useddevelopment to further engineer and develop our flagship AOS water filtration system and our AEC PFAS treatment system. In addition, BLEST engineers are performing a critical role in the AOS pilot projects, some of which are supported by third-party research grants and has been instrumental in developing and supporting a professional engineered design service for misting systems being sold by our ONM operating unit.

 

Cost of Goods (Services) Sold (BLEST)

 

BLEST’s cost of services includes employee labor as well as subcontracted labor costs. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, itsMarch 31, 2023, cost of services were 82% and 60%69% of its revenues, versus 71%42% in the same period in 2022. This increase is due to contracts with reduced margins and 76% costthe reduction in overall revenue, as well as the recognition of servicesdeferred revenue in comparable periods in 2021. These fluctuations are a result of more subcontract costs for the three months ended March 31, 2022, which did not occur in the same period in 2023.

BLEST SG&A expenses were $184,000 in efficiencies relatedthe three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to flat-fee monthly contracts for the nine months.$134,000 in 2022, primarily due to increased rental costs and staff.

 

Operating Loss (BLEST)

 

ForBLEST incurred an operating loss of $368,000 in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, BLESTMarch 31, 2023, compared to an operating loss of $35,000 in 2022.

Because the subsidiary had an operating loss, of $179,000we invested cash during the year to allow it to maintain operations. BLEST’s need for a cash subsidy to support its operations has decreased over time. Our goal for this operation is that it produces a profit and $158,000. Forcontributes to corporate overhead in a significant way, although predicting when that will happen and other uncertainties in the market, and our limited resources, is difficult.

Clyra Medical

Clyra Medical generated $6,000 in revenues in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, BLEST hadMarch 31, 2023, total costs and expenses of $431,000, including $134,000 in research and development expenses, and an operating loss of $140,000$426,000. In the same period in 2022, it generated $11,000 in revenue, had total costs and $513,000.expenses of $250,000, including $16,000 in research and development expenses, and an operating loss of $239,000. Clyra has been limited in terms of capital resources, and its level of activity has been largely dependent on available cash.

BETI

Formed to develop and commercialize a sodium-sulfur battery technology, BETI raised $650,000 in investment capital in the three months ended March 31, 2023, did not generate revenue, and incurred $87,000 in expenses, primarily related to the build out of space to manufacture battery prototypes.

 

Other IncomeSelling, General and Administrative Expense consolidated

 

Our Selling, General and Administrative expense (“SG&A”) include both cash (for example, salaries to employees) and non-cash expenses (for example, stock option compensation expense). Our consolidated SG&A decreased in the aggregate by 6% ($113,000) in the three months ended March 31, 2023, to $1,722,000.  Our non-cash expenses (through the issuance of common stock, warrants, and stock options) decreased in the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared with 2022 ($463,000 compared to $822,000) , which accounted for the largest decline in salaries and consulting expense.

Interest expense

Our interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023, was $48,000, compared with $13,000 in the same period in 2022. Of our total interest expense in 2023, $15,000 was paid in cash, and the remainder was comprised primarily of non-cash debt discounts related to warrants issued in conjunction with debt instruments being amortized over the life of the debt instrument; for the three months ended March 31, 2023, non-cash interest expense totaled $33,000.

Other Income and Expense

The amount of grant income increased $26,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2023, to $31,000.  Primarily through our wholly owned Canadian subsidiary, haswe have been awarded more than 80 research grants over the years from various Canadian public and private agencies, including the Canadian National Research Institute – Industrial Research Assistance Program (NRC-IRAP), the National Science and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC), and the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California’s Innovative Conservation Program “ICP”. The research grants received are considered reimbursement grants related to costs we incur and therefore are included as Other Income.

The increase in salaries and payroll expenses in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 versus 2021 is primarily related to the implementation of a stock option bonus compensation program for employees and other related stock option compensation expenses, and also the hiring of additional personnel to support increasing operations. The decline in the three months ended September 30, 2022 versus 2021 is consistent with reduced stock option grants to employees. Consulting expense decreased as we have reduced the use of consultants to identify business opportunities. The reduction in professional fees is largely due to the reduced use of outside legal counsel and other service providers.

Research and Development

In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we spent $271,000 and $1,018,000 in the research and development of our technologies and products. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we spent $343,000 and $1,027,000 in the research and development of our technologies and products. This was due to limited liquidity and $59,000 capitalized equipment related to the development of our AEC filters.

Interest expense

Our interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, was $14,000 and $42,000, a decrease of 46% and 80% compared with the same periods of 2021.  Our interest expense includes interest from outstanding debt and it is related to the issuance of and modification of convertible promissory notes.  We expect our interest expense to be lower in each quarterly period of the year ending December 31, 2022, as compared with the same periods in 2021, due to reduced amounts of debt on our balance sheet.ONM Environmental.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of our business. For the ninethree months ended September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we generated revenues of $3,742,000 through our subsidiaries (see Note 11), had a net loss of $3,724,000,$494,000, used $2,803,000$43,000 cash in operations, and at September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we had working capital of $1,503,000,$3,075,000, and current assets of $2,532,000. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022,$4,874,000. While our operating loss has decreased in recent quarterly periods, as has our cash used in operations, we generated revenues of $3,786,000 through our operational subsidiaries. (See Note 9.) Our subsidiaries did not individually or in the aggregate generate profits sufficientexpect to fund their operations, or for our corporate operations or other business segments. We do not believe gross profits in 2022 will be sufficientcontinue to fund our current level of operations during the next 12 months, and therefore we will have to obtainneed further investment capital to continue to fund operations and seek to refinance our existing debt, such as through our purchase agreement with Lincoln Park Capital and private securities offerings.

As of March 31, 2023, our cash and cash equivalents totaled $3,264,000. Our total liabilities included a $78,000 a vehicle loan, $140,000 due in SBA loans issued pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (see Note 14), $150,000 due to the SBA issued pursuant to the Economic Injury Disaster program (EIDL) over 30 years, and $247,000 owed by a subsidiary due in 2024 (see Note 4).

Subsequent to March 31, 2023, we continue to sell common stock to Lincoln Park for working capital as needed (see Note 13).

 

If we are unable to rely on our current arrangement with Lincoln Park to fund our working capital requirements, we wouldwill have to rely on other forms of financing, and there is no assurance that we will be able to do so, or if we do so, it will be on favorable terms. Our current financing arrangement with

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we expectare unable to enter intocontinue as a new agreement with Lincoln Park prior to that expiration.

We operate our business in five distinct business segments. Each of these segments obtains cash to fund operations in unique ways. ONM and BLEST generate cash by selling products and services. Clyra Medical obtains cash from revenues, and third-party investments of sales of its common stock. BioLargo Water generates cash through government research grants and tax credits; our corporate operations currently generate cash through private offerings of stock, debt instruments, and warrants, and then provides supplemental capital to support to our various business segments as they advance their technologies, products and commercial efforts.going concern.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our discussion and analysis of our results of operations and liquidity and capital resources are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, valuation of offerings of debt with equity or derivative features which include the valuation of the warrant component, any beneficial conversion feature and potential derivative treatment, and share-based payments. We base our estimates on anticipated results and trends and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, including assumptions as to future events. These estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. By their nature, estimates are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. Actual results that differ from our estimates could have a significant adverse effect on our operating results and financial position.

 

Note 2, “Summary

34

Our significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements are described in (i) in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” and (ii) in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2023, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company’s Form 10-K filed March 31, 2022 in Part II, Item 8, and “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in Part II, Item 7, describe the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements.7. There have been no material changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates since the Company’sfiling of its Form 10-K filed March 31, 2022.10-K.

 

Item 4.         Controls and Procedures

 

We conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended – the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this Report. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, which were identified in connection with management’s evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Our procedures have been designed to ensure that the information relating to our company, including our consolidated subsidiaries, required to be disclosed in our SEC reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. However, our Company is continuing to grow and evolve, as our product and services sales continues to grow, and as we diversify our clients to include municipalities, increasing strain on our accounting systems. These activities put stress on our overall controls and procedures. As our operations do not yet generate enough cash to fund operations, and we rely on financing activities to maintain our level of operations and fund our anticipated growth, we do not yet have the ability to implement the more sophisticated control systems used by larger companies. Although we have made some improvements, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that, as of the evaluation date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, due to the material weakness identified below.

 

It should be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.

 

35

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and the chief financial officer, we have established internal control procedures in accordance with the guidelines established in the 2013 Framework —Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Management evaluated the effectiveness of our internal controls, and concluded that due to our limited financial and personnel resources, the fact that we operate our business in three distinct locations in the U.S. and Canada, and the lack of sophisticated reporting systems, we continue to have a material weakness in our internal controls with respect to the closing our financial statements. Until the Company has the financial resources to implement more robust automated systems, or to hire additional dedicated accounting personnel, we expect this material weakness to continue.

 

Our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting, or any system we design or implement in the future, will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Item 1A. Risk Factor

Our future results of operations, financial condition and liquidity and the market price for our securities are subject to numerous risks, many of which are driven by factors that we cannot control. The risk factors set forth in our report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2023, and below, discuss risks, uncertainties and assumptions relevant to our business and include factors we believe could cause our actual results to differ materially from expected and historical results. Other factors beyond those listed below, including factors unknown to us and factors known to us which we have not currently determined to be material, could also adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, prospects and cash flows. Also see “Forward-looking Statements” above.

A significant portion of our revenue is concentrated with a one customer.

In the year ended December 31, 2022, almost 50% of our total revenue was from the sale of Pooph branded pet-odor products to Ikigai. In the three months ended March 31, 2023, sales to Ikigai accounted for 86% of our total revenue. Our contract with Ikigai does not require they purchase a minimum amount of product from us, and their demand for our product is dependent entirely on their customers’ demand. They create customer demand through television and other advertising, and sell directly to consumers as well as to retailers. Any decrease in their advertising is likely to correspondingly decrease their purchase of product from us. We have no control over their advertising budget or methods, and therefore have no control over their need for product from us. Other factors beyond our control may affect customer demand for the Pooph product. Any such decrease in demand for Pooph product would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, or financial condition.

Increase in Authorized SharesLincoln Park

 

On August 30,December 13, 2022, the Company filed with the Delaware Secretary of State an amendment to its Certification of Incorporation increases the number of authorized shares of its common stock from 400,000,000 to 550,000,000. This action was taken in accordance with the shareholder approval of Proposal 5 at the Company’s annual stockholder’s meeting held June 2, 2022.

Lincoln Park

On March 30, 2020, we entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) and a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (“Lincoln Park”), pursuant to which the Company has the right to sell to Lincoln Park has committed to purchase up to $10,250,000 in shares$10.0 million of the Company’s common stock, $0.00067 par value $0.00067 per share (the “Common Stock”), over the 36-month term of the Purchase Agreement, subject to certain limitations and the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

Concurrently with the execution of the Purchase Agreement on March 30, 2020, we entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with Lincoln Park pursuant to which the Company agreed, among other things, to file a registration statement with the SEC to register for sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), the shares of common stock that may be issued and sold to Lincoln Park from time to time under the Purchase Agreement. We filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with the SEC, which was deemed effective on April 21, 2020.

The Purchase Agreement provides that, commencing on the date that a registration statement is declared effective by the SEC and a final prospectus in connection therewith is filed and the other terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement are satisfied from time to time on any trading day the Company selects, the Company has the right, in its sole discretion, subject to the conditions and limitations in the Purchase Agreement, to direct Lincoln Park to purchase up to 100,000 shares of Common Stock (each such purchase, a “Regular Purchase”) over the 36-month term of the Purchase Agreement, provided that at least one trading day has passed since the last Regular Purchase. The purchase price of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Purchase Agreement will be based on the prevailing market price at the time of sale as set forth in the Purchase Agreement. There are no trading volume requirements or restrictions under the Purchase Agreement. Lincoln Park’s obligation under each Regular Purchase shall not exceed $500,000. There is no upper limit on the price per share that Lincoln Park must pay for Common Stock under the Purchase Agreement.

In addition to regular purchases, as described above, the Company may also direct Lincoln Park to purchase additional amounts as accelerated purchases. In all instances, the Company may not sell shares of its Common Stock to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement if it would result in Lincoln Park beneficially owning more than 4.99% of the Common Stock.

Lincoln Park represented to the Company, among other things, that it was an “accredited investor” (as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) (See Item 9B titled “Other Information”, and the Company sold the securities in reliance upon exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws.

The Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement contain customary representations, warranties, agreements and conditions to completing future sale transactions, indemnification rights and obligations of the parties. The Company has the right to terminate the Purchase Agreement at any time, at no cost or penalty. During any “event of default” under the Purchase Agreement, all of which are outside of Lincoln Park’s control, Lincoln Park does not have the right to terminate the Purchase Agreement; however, the Company may not initiate any regular or other purchase of shares by Lincoln Park, until such event of default is cured. There are no restrictions on future financings, rights of first refusal, participation rights, penalties or liquidated damages in the Purchase Agreement or Registration Rights Agreement, other than a prohibition on entering into any “Variable Rate Transaction,” as defined in the Purchase Agreement.

Actual sales of shares of Common Stock to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the Company from time to time, including, among others, market conditions, the trading price of the Common Stock and determinations by the Company as to the appropriate sources of fundingsubheading “Lincoln Park”, for the Company and its operations.

The net proceeds under the Purchase Agreement to the Company will depend on the frequency and prices at which the Company sells shares of its stock to Lincoln Park. The Company expects that any proceeds received by the Company from such sales to Lincoln Park will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.additional information.)
