Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements of the Company should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC ”). The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“ GAAP ”) for interim financial information, the instructions to Form 10-Q and the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, since they are interim statements, the accompanying financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for annual financial statements, but reflect all adjustments consisting of normal, recurring adjustments, that are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The December 31, 2009 consolidated balance sheet information was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
BUSINESS OVERVIEW
Global Clean Energy, Inc. is a cleantech corporation developing and marketing proprietary technology in waste to energy management. Our focus is organic waste recovery. We have developed two complementary technologies to salvage and reform waste from a variety of sources to produce a variety of clean energy byproducts. We believe that we are well-positioned to exploit fully the opportunities presented by the government policies and programs that are setting the agenda for the alternative energy industry. We are at the forefront of global initiatives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and lower the dependency in North America and Europe on imported oil and natural gas, having proprietary and innovative technologies for clean coal and renewable energy and international partners in business, university, consulting and engineering.
Our Mission
R.E.S.C.U.E™ -- Reforming Environmental Salvage into Clean Usable Energy
Global Clean Energy Inc., in collaboration with Concordia University and Cascades Engineering, a division of Cascades Canada Inc., one of Canada’s largest paper manufacturers, have spent four years researching and developing technology to recover and reform synthetic fuel from waste containing a wide variety of carbon byproducts. The result was the filing of two proprietary patents:
|
·
|
the AirPump™ that utilizes Vortex technology to efficiently separate waste and recover carbon from extracted material; and
|
|
·
|
a hybrid steam gasifier, the G2G Steam Reformer, a world’s first in gasification technology.
|
Both technologies, with accomplished proof-of-concept, constitute the foundation of GCE’s mission: to produce clean energy by clean, sustainable methods and lead an industrial revolution in waste management and disposal.
We are focused on global markets, energy and environmental concerns. To accomplish our projects, we are supported by engineering, procurement, construction and research partners. These business relationships form the core of our ability to design, develop and supply technology for a wide-range of applications. In this regard, GCE is engaged in and currently accepting orders for projects: which can benefit from mid-range (5 to 100 megawatt equivalent) converted energy production; and which can benefit from the use of our proprietary AirPump™.
What begin as a search for best of breed technologies to convert waste and biomass into clean renewable energy has evolved and expanded into five areas of active business development:
|
·
|
research and development of new technologies;
|
|
·
|
international joint-ventures to develop waste-to-energy projects;
|
|
·
|
offering technology and services for environmental ash cleanup operations;
|
|
·
|
expanding into renewable energy production; and
|
|
·
|
seeking public financing for projects in the green energy sector.
|
Current Projects
Salaberry-de-Valleyfield, Québec –
On December 9, 2009, the City of Salaberry-de-Valleyfield announced field testing of our gasification technology to convert MSW and industrial waste to synthetic gas and biodiesel. A portion of the funding from this initiative came from the Canadian government through the Green Municipal Fund of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities.
This project is designed to significantly reduce the amount of waste the city sends to landfill and to generate substantial savings on transportation and disposal of waste. We expect that ongoing collaboration between us and the city will also result in a new source of biodiesel to fuel some City installations and municipal vehicles at a reduced energy cost.
The first phase of the project was successful as the G2G gasifier technology was proven as it was able to produce syngas from municipal solid waste, industrial and construction waste, plastics, rubber, coal, and organic waste.
The tests were carried by Janory Capital Corporation on a contract basis. The gas collection and modifications to the gasifier were conducted by JR Mechanique of Salaberry de Valleyfield. The gases were analyzed at CanmetENERGY a division of Natural Resources Canada, Government of Canada.
Phase Two of the project will gasify 5,000 metric tons of MSW per year. The company plans to work with CanMet Energy on the design of the Phase II unit as they have been working for over 20 years on gasification through steam reformation and have much to offer GCE. As well as have construction and installation of the Phase II unit to be done with JR Mecanique and experts in piping and manufacturing of heavy industrial equipment.
Phase Three will establish a regional MSW sorting centre including construction of a gasification plant capable of processing 30,000 metric tons of waste per year, or more depending on the feedstock.
This venture affords us a unique opportunity to advance our research and development in an industrial park with an endless supply and variety of feedstock. And it functions as a prototype for the future of MSW management which is still being defined by an evolution of government policy.
Salaberry-de-Valleyfield’s need for small-scale, local energy production accurately mirrors the needs of other municipalities and offers a valuable opportunity to demonstrate how gasification works and how local biofuel production can be incorporated into future public works and urban planning projects.
We believe that a functional 125 mtpd gasification plant has enormous commercial potential. Beyond managing MSW, generated on average in developed countries of 1 ton per person per year, the same gasifier can be commissioned for uses in any energy reformation application involving carbon-rich feedstock, including turning coal into natural gas.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
We had revenue during the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2010 of $ 46,604 and $110,966 from our Valleyfield project.
During the three and six-month period ended June 30, 2010 we incurred a net loss of $193 and $228,601 respectively. The increase in loss was almost entirely due to increased consultant costs as the Valleyfield project was ramping up. During the quarter ended June 30, 2010, we paid compensation and professional fees of $347,382, of which $141,000 are accruals. Also during the quarter ended June 30, 2010, we paid general and administrative expenses of $13,919.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2010, we had $1,685 in cash and $1,389,750 in current liabilities. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, we used $163,927 of cash in operating activities. Total assets were $1,641,695 at June 30, 2010. The Company in the quarter received $157,570 in revenue from its’ Valleyfield project and has a receivable from such project in the amount of $190,010.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet financing arrangements and have not formed any special purpose entities. We have not guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities or entered into any options on non-financial assets.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.
Item 4T. Controls and Procedures
(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures
(a) Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Under the supervision and with the participation of our senior management, consisting of our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, we conducted an evaluation 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 of the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based upon that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the Evaluation Date.
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining an adequate system of internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)). Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Specifically, our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
|
·
|
Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
|
|
·
|
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations by our management and/or directors; and
|
|
·
|
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 principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the “COSO Framework”). Based on this evaluation under the COSO Framework, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective.
(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter of the period covered by this report that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
