INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT


To the Members and Management of
Novvi LLC

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Novvi LLC (the “Company”), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related statements of operations, changes in members’ capital (deficit), and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2014, and for the period from inception (March 26, 2013) through December 31, 2013.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with U.S. generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2014, and for the period from inception (March 26, 2013) through December 31, 2013, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Novvi LLC

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2014


Note 1 -    Background

Organization
    
Novvi LLC (the “Company”), was formed on September 6, 2011 as a Delaware limited liability company but remained dormant until March 26, 2013 when its members effected a joint operating agreement. Until March 26, 2013, there were no operations or activity. Accordingly, the Company views this as its inception date.

The Company has two members each owning 50% of the outstanding membership units. The purpose of the joint venture is to collaborate on the development, production, marketing, and distribution of base oils, additives, and lubricants derived from BioFene, or other chemicals it may identify, for use in the lubricant market. The Company currently has operations in Emeryville, California, Leland, North Carolina and Houston, Texas.

Under the terms of the operating agreement, one member was obligated to make a contribution of $10 million. The second member was obligated to contribute certain licenses and rights as defined in the operating agreement. No value was assigned to these licenses and rights in the financial statements.

The Company is governed by a six-member Board of Managers (the “Board”), with each member presented by three managers. The Board appoints the officers of the Company, who are responsible for carrying out the daily operating activities as directed by the Board. The Company’s net income or loss is allocated to the members in accordance with the Company’s operating agreement.

Liquidity

The Company has incurred losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception. For the year ended December 31, 2014 and the period from inception (March 26, 2013) through December 31, 2013, the Company incurred net losses from operations of $9,024,187 and $6,954,999, respectively, and negative cash flows from operations of $7,437,668 and $7,639,232, respectively. The Company will require capital funding from sources other than operations to fund its ongoing operations. Management expects operating losses and negative cash flows to continue through 2015. However, management believes the Company will be able to raise additional capital in the near term through member contributions and offerings of equity or debt securities to fund its ongoing operations. Failure to successfully implement the proprietary technology, generate sufficient revenues, raise additional capital, or reduce certain discretionary spending could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and to achieve its intended business objectives.

Revenue recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when a sales arrangement exists, risk and title to the product transfers to the customer and collectability is reasonably assured. Amounts collected prior to products produced and shipped are recorded as deferred revenue until shipment and risk and title transfers to the customer.

Note 2 -    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash and cash equivalents.
Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower cost or market and consist of raw materials, work in progress, finished goods and spare parts. Market is determined on the basis of estimated realizable values. Cost is determined as follows: raw materials and the material component of work in progress and finished goods are valued using the average cost for base oils. Labor and overhead are applied to work in progress and finished goods using a standard cost methodology based on total pounds produced in the production units. Spare parts inventories are comprised of plant spare parts needed to keep the plant operational.

An allowance is provided when it has been determined that the carrying value of inventories is below market as of the reporting date and is not recoverable. As of December 31, 2014, the Company determined the net realizable value of the inventories was less than the cost basis recorded based on recent sales and have recorded an allowance of $2,027,279 which is included in cost of sales in the accompanying statements of operations. No valuation allowance was recorded as of December 31, 2013.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense when incurred. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments, which extend the useful lives of existing property, plant and equipment, are capitalized and depreciated. Upon retirement or disposition of property and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the statement of operations. Depreciation expense is recorded on the straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives:
 
 
Years
 
 
 
Machinery and equipment
 
10 - 15
Computer software and equipment
 
3 - 5
Plant, tanks, pipelines and other major components
 
25

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of the related asset or group of assets, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and carrying value of the asset or group of assets. In management’s opinion, there was no impairment of property, plant and equipment required as of December 31, 2014 and 2013.

Research and development

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Note 2 -    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Income taxes

The Company does not pay Federal income tax on its taxable income. Instead, the members are liable for Federal income tax on their respective shares of the Company’s taxable income reported on their Federal income tax returns.
The Company is subject to an income tax imposed by the state of Texas. The tax is a 1% tax that is levied on taxable margin. Taxable margin is defined as total revenue less deductions for cost of goods sold or compensation and benefits in which the total calculated taxable margin cannot exceed 70% of total revenue.
The Company recognizes in the financial statements the impact of an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not of being sustained upon examination by the taxing authority based on the technical merits of the position. The tax years from 2011 and forward are open for examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Any penalties or interest assessed as a result of an examination will be recognized in income tax expense.

Financial instruments and credit risk

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents and accounts payable. The carrying amount of each financial instrument approximates its fair value because of the short term nature of these items.

The Company maintains its cash account with a major bank with terms of the deposits being on demand to minimize risk. The Company has not incurred any losses related to these deposits.

For the year ended December 31, 2014, two customers accounted for all of the Company’s revenue and as of December 31, 2014, one customer accounted for all of the Company’s accounts receivable.

For the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company purchased approximately 94% of its raw materials from 3 suppliers and for the period from inception (March 26, 2013) through December 31, 2013, the Company purchased all of its raw materials from one supplier. With the exception of crude farnesene, all the raw materials purchased are commodity products commonly available from other suppliers, if needed, so the loss of their supplier would not have a material impact on the Company. The crude farnesene used in production is only produced by one supplier, a member of the Company. The loss of this supplier could have a material impact on the Company’s operations. Total purchases of crude farnesene were $0 and $1,000,000, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2014 and for the period from inception (March 26, 2013) through December 31, 2013.

Estimates

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