BioHiTech Global, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 and as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018

 

Note 1. Basis of Presentation and Going Concern

 

Nature of Operations - BioHiTech Global, Inc. (the “Company” or “BioHiTech”) through its wholly-owned and its controlled subsidiaries offers cost-effective and technologically innovative advancements integrating technological, biological and mechanical engineering solutions for the control, reduction and / or reuse of organic and municipal waste.

 

As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company’s active wholly-owned subsidiaries were BioHiTech America, LLC, BioHiTech Europe Limited, BHT Financial, LLC and E.N.A. Renewables LLC, and its controlled subsidiary was Refuel America LLC (60%) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Apple Valley Waste Technologies Buyer, Inc., Apple Valley Waste Technologies, LLC, New Windsor Resource Recovery LLC and Rensselaer Resource Recovery LLC and its controlled subsidiary Entsorga West Virginia LLC (88.7% as of September 30, 2019).

 

As of September 30, 2018, the Company’s active wholly-owned subsidiaries were BioHiTech America, LLC, BioHiTech Europe Limited, BHT Financial, LLC and E.N.A. Renewables LLC, and New Windsor Resource Recovery LLC.

 

Basis of Presentation - The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned and controlled subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. It is management’s opinion, however, that the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, which contains the audited financial statements and notes thereto, for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 included within the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 1, 2019. The financial information as of December 31, 2018 presented hereto is derived from the audited consolidated financial statements presented in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018. The interim results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 is not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019 or for any future interim periods.

 

Reclassifications to certain prior period amounts have been made to conform to current period presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on previously reported net loss.

 

Going Concern and Liquidity - For the nine months September 30, 2019, the Company had a consolidated net loss of $7,183,649, incurred a consolidated loss from operations of $5,462,215 and used net cash in consolidated operating activities of $6,017,512. At September 30, 2019, consolidated total stockholders’ equity amounted to $10,065,744, consolidated stockholders’ equity attributable to parent amounted to $3,922,118 and the Company had a consolidated working capital deficit of $2,362,974. The Company does not yet have a history of financial profitability. Historically, the principal source of liquidity has been the issuance of debt and equity securities. Presently, the Company does not have firm commitments to fund its future operational and strategic plans. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on management’s further implementation of the Company’s on-going and strategic plans, which include continuing to raise funds through equity and/or debt raises. Should the Company be unable to raise adequate funds, certain aspects of the on-going and strategic plans may require modification.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 and as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018

 

The Company is presently in the process of raising additional debt for general operations and to support its leasing activities. The Company may also raise capital through its Registration Statement on Form S-3 declared effective on July 11, 2018, by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Shelf Registration”) for investment in several strategic initiatives. The Shelf Registration was utilized during September 2019 to raise net proceeds of $3,035,557 through a confidentially marketed public offering of common shares. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to raise sufficient capital or debt to sustain operations or to pursue other strategic initiatives or that such financing will be on terms that are favorable to the Company.

 

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Use of Estimates — The preparation of consolidated financial statements, in conformity with GAAP requires the extensive use of management’s estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Estimates are used when accounting for items and matters including, but not limited to, valuation of deferred tax assets, share based compensation, allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable, obsolete, slow moving and excess inventory, asset valuations, including intangibles, and useful lives and other provisions and contingencies.

 

Foreign Operations — Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates existing at the respective balance sheet dates. Income and expense items are translated at the average rates during the respective periods. Translation adjustments resulting from fluctuations in exchange rates are recorded as a separate component of other comprehensive income (loss) while transaction gains and losses are recorded in net earnings (loss).

 

The Company pays Value Added Tax (“VAT”) or similar taxes (“input VAT”) within the normal course of its business in in the United Kingdom on merchandise and/or services it acquires. The Company also collects VAT or similar taxes on behalf of the government (“output VAT”) for merchandise and/or services it sells. If the output VAT exceeds the input VAT, then the difference is remitted to the government, usually on a monthly basis. If the input VAT exceeds the output VAT, this creates a VAT receivable. The Company either requests a refund of this VAT receivable or applies the balance to expected future VAT payables.

 

Product and Services Revenue Recognition — The Company records revenue based on a five-step model in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which require that we:

 

1. Identify the contract with a customer;

2. Identify the performance obligations in the contract;

3. Determine the transaction price of the contract;

4. Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract;

5. Recognize revenue when the performance obligations are met or delivered.

 

When revenue is earned based on product sales, such as sales of digester equipment and parts, solid recovered fuel and recycled materials, the Company’s performance obligations are satisfied at the point in time when products are shipped to the customer, which is when the customer has title and control. Therefore, the Company’s contracts have a single performance obligation (shipment of product). The Company primarily receives fixed consideration for sales of products.

  

When revenue is earned based on receipt of disposal waste, the Company’s performance obligations are satisfied at the point in time when disposal waste products are received from the customer, which is when the Company has title and control. Therefore, the Company’s contracts have a single performance obligation (receipt of disposal waste).

 

When revenue is earned on services, such as management advisory fees and digester maintenance and repair services fees are recognized over the period the services are performed based on service milestones.

 

The Company records taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities on a net basis. 

 

Lease Revenue Recognition Rental, service and maintenance revenues relating to the Company’s rental agreements involve providing use of the Company’s digesters at customer locations, access to our software as a service and preventative maintenance over the term. The agreements generally provide for flat monthly payments that the Company believes are consistent with our costs and obligations underlying the agreements.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 and as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018

 

The Company selected the practical expedient not to separate non-lease components from lease components. The Company recognizes revenue from the rental of the digester units ratably on a monthly basis over the term of the lease, as it has determined that the rental agreements entered into in connection with its digester units qualify as operating leases, for which the Company is the operating lessor. In order to determine lease classification as operating, the Company evaluates the terms of the rental agreement to determine if the lease includes any of the following provisions which would indicate sales type lease treatment: 

 

  · The lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the lessee by the end of the lease term,

 

  · The lease grants the lessee an option to purchase the underlying asset that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise,

 

  · The Lease term is for the major part of the remaining economic life of the underlying asset. However, if the commencement date falls at or near the end of the economic life of the underlying asset, this criterion shall not be used for purposes of classifying the lease,

 

  · The present value of the sum of the lease payments and any residual value guaranteed by the lessee that is not already reflected in the lease payments equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the underlying asset or

 

  · The underlying asset is of such a specialized nature that it is expected to have no alternative use to the lessor at the end of the lease term.

 

Restricted Cash — Includes Restricted cash that is restricted as to its use, as it is held by a trustee in accordance with the West Virginia Economic Development Authority bond agreement. These amounts are held by the Company’s trustee in various bank accounts segregated for specific uses related to the construction and operation of the resource recovery facility. Amounts required to meet current operations of the Company have been classified as current in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

 

HEBioT Facility — High Efficiency Biological Treatment (“HEBioT”) facility was under construction through March 31, 2019 and includes all costs incurred to bring an asset to the condition and location necessary for its intended use, with some continuing finalizations and adjustments. Included in the capitalized costs are construction, legal, leasehold improvements, and interest. Since April 1, 2019, these costs have been depreciated based on estimated lives ranging from 10 to 35 years.

 

MBT Facility Development Costs — The Company defers costs relating to on-going Mechanical Biological Treatment (“MBT”) facility development costs commencing upon the Company’s determination that the project will be completed. These site specific costs generally include external costs generally relating to legal, engineering and other costs relating to the acquisitions of land, permits and licenses. Upon commencement of construction, to the extent that costs relate to the facility, they are transferred to the construction in progress.

 

Investments in Unconsolidated Entities —The Company has utilized the equity method of accounting for investments in companies if the investment provides the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over operating and financial policies of the investee. The Company’s proportionate share of net income or loss is included in the Company’s consolidated operations as earning or loss from unconsolidated equity basis investments. In circumstances where the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence or control over the operating and financial policies of the investee, the investment is carried at cost, less impairment, adjusted for subsequent changes to estimated fair value up to the original cost. As of September 30, 2019, the Company had no investments in unconsolidated investments as a result of its July 3, 3019 sale of its investment in Gold Medal Group, LLC (“GMG”), which was comprised of 2,250,000 GMG Investment Preferred Units and 2,250,000 Class A Common Units, to Gold Medal Equity, LLC (“GME”), the parent entity to GMG for total compensation of $2,250,000. As of July 3, 2019 these investments were carried by the Company with an adjusted cost of $1,687,383 resulting in a gain of $562,617 on July 3, 2019, which was recorded as gain on sale of affiliate investment in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

 

Deferred Financing Costs — Deferred financing costs relating to issued debt are included as a reduction to the applicable debt and amortized as interest expense over the term of the related debt instruments.

 

Income Taxes — Deferred income taxes are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities given provisions of enacted laws. Deferred income tax provisions and benefits are based on changes to the asset or liabilities from year to year. In providing for deferred taxes, the Company considers tax regulations of the jurisdictions in which it operates, estimates the future taxable income and available tax planning strategies. If tax regulations, operating results or the ability to implement tax planning and strategies vary, adjustments to the carrying value of deferred tax assets and liabilities may be required. Valuation allowances are recorded related to deferred tax assets based on the “more than likely” criteria.

BioHiTech Global, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 and as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018

 

The Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more likely than not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company incurred a cumulative change in ownership of greater than 50% under Internal Revenue Code Section 382. The effect of this cumulative change in ownership will greatly reduce the availability of net operating loss carryforwards. As of December 31, 2018 and at the time of the cumulative change, all of the Company’s deferred tax assets related to the availability of net operating loss carryforwards had been reserved 100%.

 

Loss per Share — The Company computes basic loss per share using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding and diluted loss per share, while the diluted loss per share also includes the effects of dilutive instruments using the “treasury method.” Dividends attributable to preferred stock, whether declared or accrued, and deemed dividends on down round feature are deducted from income attributable to common shareholders for purposes of earnings per share.

 

The Company’s potential dilutive instruments include convertible preferred stock, options, convertible debt and warrants. These instruments have not been considered in the calculation of diluted loss per share as they are anti-dilutive for the reported periods.

 

Note 3. Acquisition and Contribution Agreement

 

On November 28, 2018, Company entered into a definitive agreement (the “MIPS”) with Entsorga USA, Inc. (“EUSA”) whereby EUSA agreed to sell, transfer and convey to BioHiTech 2,687 membership units of Entsorga West Virginia, LLC (“EWV”) (the “Membership units”) in consideration of 714,519 shares of BioHiTech’s newly created Series E convertible preferred stock (the “Sr. E CPS). At the time, EWV was a facility under construction that is intended to utilize HEBioT technology to divert municipal solid waste from landfills and to create an EPA recognized alternative commodity fuel, which has since commenced operations.

 

On December 14, 2018, the EUSA transaction was consummated. The 714,519 shares of Sr. E CPS were valued at $1,886,630 based on the underlying common shares which the Sr. E CPS is convertible into. The total acquisition price of $2,863,583 is comprised of the aforementioned transaction, plus $976,953 of previously held equity in EWV.

 

Upon consummation of the MIPS agreement BioHiTech owned a total of 4,410.4 membership units of EWV, comprised of the 2,687 units resulting from the MIPS agreement and 1,723.4 units previously acquired by BioHiTech during 2017. The 4,410.4 membership units represented 44.1% of the total membership units issued by EWV, which combined with BioHiTech’s control of EWV’s board, management and having the largest ownership block of EUSA, with the next largest block, which represents 34.1%, an entity over which BioHiTech has controlling financial interest, results in the investment being recognized in the Company’s financial statements on a consolidated basis. 

 

Following the consummation of the MIPS, on December 14, 2018, BioHiTech entered into a Contribution and Transaction Agreement (“CTA”) with Gold Medal Group, LLC (“GMG”) and a newly formed subsidiary Refuel America, LLC (“Refuel”) of the Company whereby GMG contributed $3,500,000 in cash and its 34.1% ownership interest in EVW (owned by GMG’s wholly owned subsidiary Apple Valley Waste Technologies, LLC) into Refuel and BioHiTech contributed it’s 44.1% interest in EWV, a technology license for a future HEBioT facility that BioHiTech carried at a value of $6,019,200 and $316,207 in capitalized costs relating to two separate HEBioT facility on-going projects. In exchange for the assets contributed, BioHiTech and GMG acquired 60% and 40%, respectively, of the membership units of Refuel, which approximate the carrying value of each of the BioHiTech and GMG assets contributed. As a result of there being a continuation in proportional ownership of the significant assets and the affiliate nature BioHiTech and GMG through a non-controlling interest of GMG being owned by BioHiTech and there being a management agreement between GMG’s largest subsidiary, Gold Medal Holdings, LLC (“GMH”) whereby BioHiTech provides executive management of GMH with control over the strategic and operational activities of GMH, the CTA transaction has been accounted for without separate acquisition accounting applied to the CTA elements.

 

The following presents unaudited pro forma information as if the acquisition had occurred as of January 1, 2018. The pro forma results do not include any anticipated cost synergies or other effects of the integration of the acquired company. Pro forma amounts are not necessarily indicative of the results that actually would have occurred had the acquisition been completed on the dates indicated, nor is it indicative of future operating results of the combined company.

Each share of the Sr. D CPS has a stated value of $100 and has dividends at the rate of 9% payable annually in arrears in cash or at the Company’s option, in common stock based upon the then in effect conversion price. The Sr. D CPS also has an alternative dividend provision based upon the cash flow distributed to the parent from the Company’s next HEBioT facility, excluding the plant in Martinsburg, West Virginia, (the “Next Facility”) based upon the Sr. D CPS proportional investment in the facility. The Sr. D CPS also has an alternative conversion based upon a multiple the annualized EBITDA of the Next Facility converted at the higher of the conversion rate in effect or the market price of the Company’s common stock if higher.

 

The Company received subscriptions and investments totaling $1,885,000 through June 20, 2019, which were issued 18,850 shares of Sr D CPS.  In addition to the Sr. D CPS, each holder received warrants to acquire 50% of the shares that the Sr. D CPS is convertible into with an exercise price of $3.50 per share and an expiration on the fifth year anniversary. A total of 269,296 five-year warrants with an exercise price of $3.50 were issued to the Sr. D CPS holders that were valued utilizing the Black-Scholes modelling technique utilizing stock prices ranging from $1.88 to $2.70, a standard deviation (volatility) ranging from 44.55% to 46.38% and a risk-free rate interest rate ranging from 1.74% to 2.56% based on the date of the investment. The model includes subjective input assumptions that can materially affect the fair value estimates. The allocated fair value of the warrants amounting to $190,299 has been reflected in additional paid in capital. In connection with the offering and issuance of the Sr D CPS, the holder of the Series A convertible preferred stock was issued 116,651 warrants in the form issued to the Sr D CPS holders. These warrants, which were reflected as a cost of issuing the Sr D CPS, were valued utilizing the Black-Scholes modelling technique utilizing a stock price of $2.25, a standard deviation (volatility) of 46.23% and a risk-free interest rate of 1.89% on the date of issuance.

 

Warrants – In connection with the issuance of convertible debt, preferred and common stock and in connection with services provided, the Company has the 4,674,261 warrants to acquire the Company’s common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2019, as follows:

2020     22,860     $3.50     $ 3.50  
2021     1,768,516       $1.80 to $3.30     $ 3.25

2025     56,330       $2.25     $ 2.25  

 

The following table summarizes the outstanding warrant activity through September 30, 2019:

 

Outstanding, January 1, 2019     4,201,736  
Issued     442,275  
Issued as a result of common stock offering at $1.80 per share     30,250  
Exercised     -  
Expired     -  
Outstanding, September 30, 2019     4,674,261  

 

In connection with the confidentially marketed public offering that closed on September 9, 2019 at a price per common share of $1.80, 70 warrants representing the right to acquire 1,992,325 shares with down-deal exercise price features were re-priced to an exercise price of $1.80. In connection with the modification the value of the warrants was recalculated based upon the value immediately prior to the modification and immediately after the modification. In connection therewith the Company utilized Black Scholes valuation models utilizing volatility of 50.56% and a risk free rate of 1.51% together with the contractual remaining terms of each warrant. This revaluation increased the value of the warrants by $405,324, which has been reflected as an increase in accumulated deficit and additional paid in capital. In accordance with Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-11, this increased valuation is not charged to the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss however, it is included as an adjustment to net loss attributable to parent in arriving at net loss per common share – basic and diluted.

Also in connection with the confidentially marketed public offering that closed on September 9, 2019, the holder of the Series A preferred stock had the option to require that the Company redeem shares of Series A preferred stock up to an amount representing 50% of the offering. In connection therewith, the holder agreed to not require the redemption in exchange for an extension of one year to the warrants originally issued in connection with the Series A preferred stock; all other contractual terms of the Series A preferred stock remained unchanged. Utilizing the same Black Scholes valuation model variables as utilized in connection with the down deal, above, the change in valuation amounted to $49,160. As the redemption features remained unchanged, the Series A preferred stock continues to be accounted for as temporary equity, which require that the modification be charged to the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

Note 14. Commitments and Contingencies

 

From time to time, the Company is involved in legal matters arising in the ordinary course of business, during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 the Company was involved in the following matters.

 

The Company had accrued their contractual obligations but disputed payment for a consulting services agreement with Tusk Ventures LLC (“Tusk”), in which Tusk claim that it is owed $250,000 pursuant to an agreement. This matter was filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County in April 2017. This matter was settled on April 23, 2019. In connection with the settlement, the Company issued to the plaintiff 75,000 shares of its common stock. 

 

On February 7, 2018, Lemartec Corporation (“Lemartec”) filed a complaint against the Company in the United States District Court for the Northern District of West Virginia arising out of the construction of the Company’s resource recovery facility in Martinsburg, West Virginia alleging breach of contract and unjust enrichment. The Company has filed its answer and counterclaims for damages against Lemartec and cross claims against Lemartec’s performance bond surety, Philadelphia Indemnity Insurance Company. Trial is expected to begin in August 2020 and the Company intends to vigorously defend the complaint.

 

It is management’s opinion that the resolution of these known claims will not materially effect the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. There can be no assurance, however, that unforeseen circumstances will not result in significant costs. While the Company believes that these such matters are currently not a risk material to the Company’s financial position, there can be no assurance that these or other matters arising in the ordinary course of business for which the Company is, or could be, involved in litigation, will not have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations.

 

Note 15. Leases

 

Effective January 1, 2019, the Company implemented Accounting Standards Codification 842, Leases. The guidance requires lessees to recognize most leases on the balance sheet but does not change the manner in which expenses are recorded in the income statement. The two permitted transition methods under the guidance are the modified retrospective transition approach, which requires application of the guidance for all comparative periods presented, and the cumulative effect adjustment approach, which requires prospective application at the adoption date.

 

The Company utilized the optional transition method to assess the impact of this guidance on the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures, including the increase in the assets and liabilities on our balance sheet from lessee perspective. The Company completed a comprehensive review of its leases that were impacted by the new guidance.

 

As part of the adoption, the Company elected the ‘package of practical expedients,’ which permits the Company not to reassess under the new standard the Company’s prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs, therefore the Company did not restate prior comparative periods.

 

The Company rents its headquarters and attached warehousing space from a related party (see Note 16) and has a land lease relating to the Martinsburg, WV HEBioT facility under operating leases. The HEBioT facility land lease has an initial term of 30 years, plus four 5-year extensions. For purposes of our determination of lease liabilities, extensions were not included. As the leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company used incremental borrowing rates in determining the present value of lease payments. For the HEBioT facility land lease a rate of 11% was utilized and a rate of 10.25% was used on the other leases. The current portion of the lease liabilities of $169,575 is included in accrued expenses and liabilities. Total lease costs under operating leases amounted to $55,356 and $37,874 for the three months, and $166,067 and $108,182 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Maturities of lease liabilities under these leases, which have a weighted average remaining term of 25.1 years, as of September 30, 2019 is:

 

Year Ending December 31,      
2019 (remaining)   $ 51,406  
2020     146,926  
2021     109,000  
2022     113,000  
2023 and thereafter     3,093,750  
Total lease payments     3,514,082  
Less imputed interest     (2,431,140 )
Present value of lease liabilities   $ 1,082,942

Note 16. Related Party Transactions

 

Related parties include Directors, Senior Management Officers, and shareholders, plus their immediate family, who own a 5% or greater ownership interest at the time of a transaction. Related parties also include GMG and its subsidiaries.

 

As of September 30, 2019, GMG is controlled by several private equity funds managed by Kinderhook Industries. The Company initially invested in GMG on January 25, 2018. On July 3, 2019 the Company sold its ownership interests in GMG to an entity controlled by Kinderhook Industries. As discussed in Note 3, on December 14, 2018 the Company formed a new consolidated subsidiary, Refuel America, LLC (“Refuel”) into which the Company contributed specified assets, including its ownership interest in Entsorga West Virginia, LLC (“EWV”) and other HEBioT development assets. In exchange for a 40%, but non-controlling interest in Refuel, GMG contributed its ownership interests in EWV and $3,500,000 in cash. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, GMG made an additional capital contribution into Refuel. In connection with GMG’s additional investment, the Company made an additional $2,100,000 investment in Refuel.

 

During 2018 GMG acquired as regional waste management entity, Apple Valley Waste (“AVW”), with operations located in West Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania. As part of this acquisition, GMG also acquired its interests in EWV that were contributed to Refuel. Prior to GMG’s acquisition of AVW and the Company’s investments and control acquisition of EWV, in order for EWV to receive the proceeds from the Entsorga West Virginia, LLC WVEDA Solid Waste Disposal Revenue Bonds (Note 11), EWV and AWV had entered into several agreements.

 

Business Services Agreement – On February 2, 2016, EWV and AVW entered into an agreement that whereby AVW provides solicitation, logistics management, human resources, accounting and financial management, and other general administrative and support services. This agreement has a ten-year term with automatic renewals for five-year periods, subject to prior notice of non-renewal. The agreement provides for a fee of $72,000 annually during construction and $367,600 annually upon commencement of operations. External costs incurred on behalf of EWV that are paid by AVW are rebilled at cost to EWV.

 

Solid Waste Delivery / Disposal Agreements – On November 30, 2015 EWV and several AVW subsidiaries (the “Subsidiaries”) entered into agreements that provide that the Subsidiaries will deliver a minimum tonnage of municipal solid waste (52,000 tons) and that EWV will accept up to 66,250 tons of municipal solid waste. The contracts with minimum delivery tonnage have disposal fees (tipping fees) with a weighted average price of $56.37 per ton, subject to change annually. The contracts also provide that if the Subsidiaries fail to deliver the minimum tonnage, they will pay a fee of $20 for each shortfall ton. The contracts also provide that if EWV refuses to accept tonnage presented for disposal within the minimum tonnage that EWV will pay the Subsidiaries a fee of $20 per each refused ton. Each of the agreements has a ten-year term with automatic renewals for five-year periods, subject to prior notice of non-renewal.

Note 18. Recent Accounting Standards

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company adopted the following recent accounting standards:

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued new lease accounting guidance (ASU No. 2016-02, Leases), which has subsequently been amended by ASU No. 2018-11, Leases in July 2018. Under the new guidance, at the commencement date, lessees will be required to recognize a lease liability, which is a lessee‘s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and a right-of use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. The new guidance is not applicable for leases with a term of 12 months or less. Lessor accounting is largely unchanged. Public business entities should apply the amendments in ASU 2016-02 for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted upon issuance. Lessees (for capital and operating leases) and lessors (for sales-type, direct financing, and operating leases) must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The modified retrospective approach would not require any transition accounting for leases that expired before the earliest comparative period presented. Lessees and lessors may not apply a full retrospective transition approach. ASU 2018-11 provides that under certain instances lessors may not be required to separate the components of the contracts. As a lessor of digester equipment under operating leases, the new guidance did not have a material impact on the financial statements. As a lessee under operating leases the adoption did not have a material impact on our financial statements, resulting in an increase of 2% to each of our total assets and total liabilities on our balance sheet, and had an immaterial impact to retained earnings as of the beginning of 2019. See Note 15.

 

In March 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-01, Leases (Topic 842, Codification Improvements), which removed the requirement for an entity to disclose in the interim periods after adoption, the effect of the change on income from continuing operations, net income, any other affected financial statement line item, or per share amount. For lessors, the new leasing standard requires leases to be classified as sales-type, direct financing or operating leases. These criteria focus on the transfer of control of the underlying asset. This standard and related updates were effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2019-01 on January 2019. See Note 15 for disclosures related to this amended guidance.

 

The Company has not yet implanted the following accounting standards:

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This standard requires an allowance to be recorded for all expected credit losses for certain financial assets. The new standard introduces an approach, based on expected losses, to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments. ASU 2016-13 is effective for public companies for interim and annual period beginning December 15, 2019. Entities are required to apply the standard’s provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted. The Company has not yet adopted this update and is currently evaluating the effect this new standard will have on its financial condition and results of operations.

 

Note 19. Subsequent Events

 

The Company evaluates subsequent events and transactions that occur after the balance sheet date up to the date that the financial statements are available to be issued. Any material events that occur between the balance sheet date and the date that the financial statements were available for issuance are disclosed as subsequent events, while the financial statements are adjusted to reflect any conditions that existed at the balance sheet date. Based upon this review, except as disclosed within the footnotes or as discussed below, the Company did not identify any recognized or non-recognized subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

Results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2019

compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018

 

The following summarizes our operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. For comparison purposes for the three months ended September 31, 2019, Entsorga West Virginia, LLC has been broken out as a separate entity and the remaining BioHiTech entities have been presented as “Comparable Units”.

HEBioT Facility

 

The three months ended September 30, 2019 include financial results from the HEBioT facility. During this period, the facility continued its commissioning process while simultaneously seeing a steady increase in incoming Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) and Commercial & Industrial (C&I) volumes. The HEBioT facility is not included in the comparable 2018 period, as BioHiTech did not have a controlling interest and the facility was under construction and was not operational during that time. During the three months ended September 30, 2019 revenues were primarily driven by fees associated with the receipt of inbound waste materials (“Tip” fees). During this period, the facility continued to further refine the solid recovered fuel (“SRF”) and quality assurance practices and as such deliveries of SRF and the associated revenues were not significant. As a result of the extended commissioning period, additional disposal fees were incurred. The Company anticipates that during the second half of the fourth quarter deliveries of SRF will become more material which should lead to a normalization in disposal costs helping the HEBioT facility achieve near its anticipated operational capacity. As well as experiencing higher than anticipated disposal costs, the HEBioT Facility’s operating expenses were higher than anticipated due to expenses related to operating the facility at full capacity (i.e. full labor support as well as full utilities) without the benefit of the operation achieving maximum inbound waste capacity or the sale of SRF. As volumes continue to ramp up in the fourth quarter and the sale of SRF begins to occur during the second half of the fourth quarter, operating expenses should be normalized.

 

Comparable Units

 

The following summarizes revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018:

 

    Three Months Ended September 30,  
    2019     2018  
Revenue            
Rental, service and maintenance   $ 489,555     $ 469,978  
Equipment sales     62,565       282,246  
Management advisory and other fees (related entity)     264,750       335,858  
Total revenue   $ 816,870     $ 1,088,082  

 

Overall comparable unit revenue decreased by $271,212, driven by a $219,681 (77.8%) decrease in equipment sales resulting from our strategic decision to not aggressively market the Revolution digesters to smaller deployment customers. Rental, service and maintenance increased by $19,577 as a result of an increase of $69,900 (23.3%) in rental revenues offset by a decrease in billable service and parts that is the result of improved product design and quality. Management advisory and other fees decreased by $71,108 (21.2%) as a result of a decrease in project related special projects.

 

The product contribution from rental, service and maintenance increased by $84,795 (37.2%) from 2018 to 2019 as a result of improved margin rates of 63.4% in 2019, as compared to 48.5% in 2018. The product contribution from equipment sales decreased by $81,806 (64.6%) as a result of decreased sales offset by improved margins of 71.6% and 44.7% in 2019 and 2018, respectively. These increased margins were the result of higher margins on the Revolution digesters and the sale of used equipment that had lower cost basis.

The following summarizes selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018:

 

    Three Months Ended September 30,  
    2019     2018  
Selling, general and administrative expenses                
Personnel, excluding stock based compensation   $ 632,720     $ 951,185  
Stock based compensation     206,232       321,922  
Professional fees     149,852       204,588  
Facility and office costs     82,736       91,608  
Sales, marketing and other     131,979       175,267  
Total selling, general and administrative expenses   $ 1,203,519     $ 1,744,570  

 

Overall, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $541,051 (31.0%) with each category decreasing. Personnel, excluding stock based compensation decreased by $318,465 (33.5%) as a result of decreased staffing that was initiated in late 2018 and continued into the first half of 2019 based on business needs. Stock based compensation decreased by $115,690 (35.9%) as a result of the forfeitures of unvested awards of separated employees.

 

Professional fees decreased by $54,736 (26.8%) primarily due to decreases of $39,441 (51.9%) in legal fees resulting from transactional and patent work decreases, a decrease of $19,919 (31.0%) in general investor relations ahead of our September 2019 common stock offering and a $15,000 (100%) decrease in public relations contract, offset by an increase of $20,187 (41.4%) in accounting fees resulting from post transaction services and tax research related to the Section 382 evaluation of net operating loss carry forwards.

 

Facility and office costs decreased by $8,872 (9.7%) primarily as a result of general decreases in the majority of areas.

 

Sales, marketing and other decreased by $43,288 (24.7%) primarily as a result of decreases in travel and entertainment of $17,547 (34.1%), trade shows and other marketing of $10,749 (69.3) and reduced research and development that was related to rolling out the Revolution digesters in 2018 of $9,452 (100.0%) and a $10,470 reversal of foreign exchange from an expense to income.

 

Consolidated Company

 

Depreciation and amortization

 

Depreciation and amortization increased from the three months ended September 30, 2018 to the three months ended September 30, 2019 by $488,104 due primarily to $490,469 of depreciation and amortization related to the HEBioT facility.

 

Other (income) expense

 

The following summarizes revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018:

  

    Three Months Ended September 30,  
    2019     2018  
Other (income) expenses                
Gain on sale of affiliate investment   $ (562,617 )     -  
Equity loss in affiliate     -     $ 179,041  
Interest income     (46,180 )     -  
Interest expense     979,202       593,041  
Expense incurred in warrant valuation and conversions     49,160       47,767  
Total other (income) expenses   $ 419,565     $ 819,849  

 

Other net expenses decreased from the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019 by $400,283 due to a $741,658 increase in net gain on the sale of an affiliate investment, as compared to equity losses in affiliates in 2018, offset by an increase in net interest expense. Net interest expense increased by $339,982, which is the result of $600,402 of net interest related to the bonds on the HEBioT facility offset by $260,420 decrease in other interest expense as the result of the Series A preferred stock discounts having been amortized (as interest) by December 31, 2018.

Income tax

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 there was no net provision for income tax due to the losses incurred and management’s evaluation of the recovery of the tax asset resulting in net operating loss carry-forward. During the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company incurred a cumulative change in ownership of greater than 50% under Internal Revenue Code Section 382. The effect of this cumulative change in ownership will greatly reduce the availability of net operating loss carryforwards. As of December 31, 2018 and at the time of the cumulative change, all of the Company’s deferred tax assets related to the availability of net operating loss carryforwards had been reserved 100%.

HEBioT Facility

 

The nine months ended September 30, 2019 include financial results from the HEBioT facility. During this period, the facility continued its commissioning process while simultaneously seeing a steady increase in incoming Municipal Solid Waste and Commercial & Industrial volumes. The HEBioT facility is not included in the comparable 2018 period, as BioHiTech did not have a controlling interest and the facility was under construction and not operational during that time. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 revenues were primarily driven by Tip Fees associated with the receipt of inbound waste materials. During this period, the facility continued to further refine the SRF and quality assurance practices and as such deliveries of SRF and the associated revenues were not significant. As a result of the extended commissioning period, additional disposal fees were incurred. The Company anticipates that during the second half of the fourth quarter deliveries of SRF will become more material which should lead to a normalization in disposal costs helping the HEBioT facility achieve near its anticipated operational capacity. As well as experiencing higher than anticipated disposal costs, the HEBioT Facility’s operating expenses were higher than anticipated due to expenses related to operating the facility at full capacity (i.e. full labor support as well as full utilities) without the benefit of the operation achieving maximum inbound waste capacity or the sale of SRF. As volumes continue to ramp up in the fourth quarter and the sale of SRF begins to occur during the second half of the fourth quarter, operating expenses should be normalized.

 

Comparable Units

 

The following summarizes revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018:

 

    Nine Months Ended September 30,  
    2019     2018  
Revenue            
Rental, service and maintenance   $ 1,426,193     $ 1,369,314  
Equipment sales     137,799       547,735  
Management advisory and other fees (related entity)     761,750       725,897  
Total revenue   $ 2,325,742     $ 2,642,946  

 

Overall comparable unit revenue decreased by $317,204, driven by a $409,936 (74.8%) decrease in equipment sales resulting from our strategic decision to not aggressively market the Revolution digesters to smaller deployment customers. Rental, service and maintenance increased by $56,879 as a result of an increase of $208,614 (24.5%) increase in rental revenues offset by a decrease in billable service and parts that is the result of improved product design and quality. Management advisory and other fees increased by $35,853 as a result of an increase in the monthly fees offset by a decrease in project related special projects.

 

 30

 

 

 

The product contribution from rental, service and maintenance increased by $193,547 (26.7%) from 2018 to 2019 as a result of improved margin rates of 64.3% in 2019, as compared to 52.9% in 2018. The product contribution from equipment sales decreased by $111,284 (57.8%) as a result of decreased sales offset by improved margins of 59.0% and 35.2% in 2019 and 2018, respectively. These increased margins were the result of higher margins on the Revolution digesters and the sale of used equipment that had lower cost basis.

 

The following summarizes selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018:

 

    Nine Months Ended September 30,  
    2019     2018  
Selling, general and administrative expenses                
Personnel, excluding stock based compensation   $ 2,318,676     $ 2,917,763  
Stock based compensation     728,762       468,166  
Professional fees     580,988       660,604  
Facility and office costs     299,965       301,607  
Sales, marketing and other     403,370       676,266  
Impairment on development site     346,654       -  
Total selling, general and administrative expenses   $ 4,678,415     $ 5,024,406  

 

Overall, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $345,991 (6.9%) with each category (treating personnel with stock based compensation combined) decreasing, offset, in part by the write-off of costs associated with an MBT site, which amounted to $346,654. Excluding the write-off of the MBT site, total other selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $692,645 (13.8%). Personnel, excluding stock based compensation decreased by $599,087 (20.5%) as a result of decreased staffing that was initiated in late 2018 and continued into the first half of 2019 based on business needs. Stock based compensation increased by $260,596 (55.7%) as a result of awards that were granted in 2018.

 

Professional fees decreased by $79,616 (12.1%) primarily due to decreases of $91,915 (58.5%) in legal fees resulting from transactional and patent work decreases, an increase of $49,534 (15.6%) in accounting fees resulting from post transaction services and tax research related to the Section 382 evaluation of net operating loss carry forwards, and a recovery of fess amounting to $44,500 relating to the settlement of litigation with a strategic consulting vendor.

  

Facility and office costs decreased by $1,642 (0.5%) primarily as a result of a $27,700 (42.4%) increase in general insurance expenses offset by decreases in substantially all other areas.

 

Sales, marketing and other decreased by $272,896 (40.4%) primarily as a result of decreases in travel and entertainment of $113,959 (57.6%), trade shows and other marketing of $43,600 (67.4%), regulatory costs including those related to the 2018 uplisting to NASDAQ of $90,731 (51.9%) and reduced research and development that was related to rolling out the Revolution digesters in 2018 of $31,558 (100.0%).

 

Consolidated Company

 

Depreciation and amortization

 

Depreciation and amortization increased from the nine months ended September 30, 2018 to the nine months ended September 30, 2019 by $996,391 due primarily to $980,937 of depreciation and amortization related to the HEBioT facility.

 

 Other (income) expense

 

The following summarizes revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018:

 

    Nine Months Ended September 30,

Total other (income) expenses   $ 1,721,434     $ 8,978,056  

 

Other net expenses decreased from the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019 by $7,256,622 due to a decrease of $6,678,789 in warrant valuation expense and a $934,148 increase in net gain on the sale of an affiliate investment, as compared to equity losses in affiliates in 2018. Net interest expense increased by $356,295, which is the result of $1,361,221 of net interest related to the bonds on the HEBioT facility offset by $1,004,926 decrease in interest expense as the result of conversions of debt to equity in February and April 2018 and from the completion of discount amortizations of the Company’s Series A preferred stock in late 2018.

Income tax

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 there was no net provision for income tax due to the losses incurred and management’s evaluation of the recovery of the tax asset resulting in net operating loss carry-forward. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company incurred a cumulative change in ownership of greater than 50% under Internal Revenue Code Section 382. The effect of this cumulative change in ownership will greatly reduce the availability of net operating loss carryforwards. As of December 31, 2018 and at the time of the cumulative change, all of the Company’s deferred tax assets related to the availability of net operating loss carryforwards had been reserved 100%.

  

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

For the nine months September 30, 2019, the Company had a consolidated net loss of $7,183,649, incurred a consolidated loss from operations of $5,462,215 and used net cash in consolidated operating activities of $6,017,512. At September 30, 2019, consolidated total stockholders’ equity amounted to $10,065,744, consolidated stockholders’ equity attributable to parent amounted to $3,922,118 and the Company had a consolidated working capital deficit of $2,362,974. The Company does not yet have a history of financial profitability. Historically, the principal source of liquidity has been the issuance of debt and equity securities. Presently, the Company does not have firm commitments to fund its future operational and strategic plans. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company is presently in the process of raising additional debt for general operations and to support its leasing activities. The Company may also raise capital through its Registration Statement on Form S-3 declared effective on July 11, 2018, by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Shelf Registration”) for investment in several strategic initiatives. The Shelf Registration was utilized during September 2019 to raise net proceeds of $3,035,557 through a confidentially marketed public offering of common shares. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to raise sufficient capital or debt to sustain operations or to pursue other strategic initiatives or that such financing will be on terms that are favorable to the Company.

 

Cash

 

As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had unrestricted cash balances of $3,434,089 and $2,410,709, respectively.

We used $6,017,512 of cash in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to a use of $4,386,230 during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Our net loss during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 of $7,183,649 was reduced by non-cash expenses of $2,303,947 and increased by a $562,617 gain on the sale of an investment in an affiliate.

The net loss of $12,713,891 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was reduced by $8,976,378 in non-cash interest expenses.

 

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

 

Net Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 amounted to $2,362,896 and is primarily the result of the HEBioT facility construction and development, offset by proceeds of $2,250,000 from the sale of our investment in GMG.

 

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

 

Cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 amounted to $6,349,060 and is primarily the result proceeds of $3,035,557 from a common stock offering during the third quarter, $1,772,500 from the Series D convertible preferred stock offering and a $1,400,000 investment in Refuel America, LLC by GMG, a related party and non-controlling member of Refuel.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2019.

 

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by 17 C.F.R. 229 (10)(f)(i) and are not required to provide information under this item.

 

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management carried out an evaluation, with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”).

 

Based upon their evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that a material weakness existed and that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Because of our limited operations we have a small number of employees which prohibits a segregation of duties. As we grow and expand our operations, we will engage additional employees and experts as needed. However, there can be no assurance that our operations will expand.

 

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

 

There have not been any significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

 

From time to time, the Company is involved in legal matters arising in the ordinary course of business, during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 the Company was involved in the following matters.

 

The Company had accrued their contractual obligations but disputed payment for a consulting services agreement with Tusk Ventures LLC (“Tusk”), in which Tusk claim that it is owed $250,000 pursuant to an agreement. This matter was filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County in April 2017. This matter was settled on April 23, 2019. In connection with the settlement, the Company issued to the plaintiff 75,000 shares of its common stock. 

 

On February 7, 2018, Lemartec Corporation (“Lemartec”) filed a complaint against the Company in the United States District Court for the Northern District of West Virginia arising out of the construction of the Company’s resource recovery facility in Martinsburg, West Virginia alleging breach of contract and unjust enrichment. The Company has filed its answer and counterclaims for damages against Lemartec and cross claims against Lemartec’s performance bond surety, Philadelphia Indemnity Insurance Company. Trial is expected to begin in August 2020 and the Company intends to vigorously defend the complaint.

 

It is management’s opinion that the resolution of these known claims will not materially effect the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. There can be no assurance, however, that unforeseen circumstances will not result in significant costs. While the Company believes that these such matters are currently not a risk material to the Company’s financial position, there can be no assurance that these or other matters arising in the ordinary course of business for which the Company is, or could be, involved in litigation, will not have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

 

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by 17 C.F.R. 229 (10)(f)(i) and are not required to provide information under this item.

 

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

 

On September 9, 2019, a holder of Series A preferred stock converted 18,000 shares of Series A preferred stock into 50,000 shares of the Company’s $0.0001 par common stock.

 

On September 26, 2019, the Company paid $50,000 in accrued dividends on the Company’s Series A preferred stock through the issuance of 27,778 shares of the Company’s $0.0001 par common stock.

 

On November 4, 2019, the Company paid $50,000 in accrued dividends on the Company’s Series A preferred stock through the issuance of 27,778 shares of the Company’s $0.0001 par common stock.

 

All of the securities set forth above were issued by the Company pursuant to exemptions from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder. The sale of the shares did not involve a public offering, all such shares issued contained a restrictive legend, and the holders’ original investment agreements contained representations to support the Company’s reasonable belief that the holders had access to information concerning the Company’s operations and financial condition, the investors acquired the securities for their own account and not with a view to the distribution thereof, and that the investors are sophisticated within the meaning of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and are “accredited investors” (as defined by Rule 501 under the Securities Act).
