To understand our business and this offering fully, you should read this entire prospectus carefully, including the financial statements and the related notes beginning on page 34. This prospectus contains forward-looking statements and information relating to BioCrude Technologies, Inc. See Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements on page 10.
The Company
The Company was formed on August 4, 2015 in the State of Nevada. The Company is a startup company and our auditors have issued a going concern opinion.
Business Strategy
The Company is a resource management expertise and services provider, catering to commercial, municipal, and industrial customers, primarily in the areas of solid waste management and recycling services.
BioCrude Technologies, Inc. has developed efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly products, processes and systems for the reformation of waste material, waste management and creation of renewable energy.
The versatility and potential of the BioCrude Technologies, Inc. has been demonstrated by the many uses that our R&D department has already tested and verified. The avenues they have explored include sustainable and cost efficient methods that will enlarge composting and biomethanation yields and rates of decomposition while increasing output and providing a higher quality of end product. Their focus is on waste treatment protocols for Municipal Solid Waste (MSW), cellulose, all organic waste and all manure types; renewable energy sources such as biogas, ethanol and biodiesel; waste water treatment, and multiple other applications.
One very important area that BioCrude Technologies, Inc. excels in is the reformation of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) into renewable energy and marketable end-by-products, using its intrinsic intellectual property and know how in its “Integrated Municipal Solid Waste to Energy Proposed Complexes” for municipal applications. Understanding the non-homogenous nature and characteristics of the waste, we can define distinct processes to optimally handle the procurement of the varied categories of waste (MSW can be classified into organics, fuels, recyclables, inerts and others), once segregated with an efficient separation process and materials recovery facility (MRF).
The long-term vision of the organization is to build a highly sustainable and profitable company by transforming traditional solid waste streams into renewable resources and marketable by-products. Global competition for limited resources is, the Company believes, creating significant business opportunities for companies that can sustain and extract value in the form of energy and raw materials from resources previously considered an irretrievable waste stream. BioCrude’s business strategy has been firmly tied to creating a sustainable resource management model and the Company continues to be rooted in these same tenets today. Each day the Company strives to create long-term value for all stakeholders: customers, employees, communities, and shareholders, by helping customers and communities manage their resources in a sustainable and financially sound manner.
Environmental issues have taken the forefront globally, creating solid expectations for investments in green technology. The Company will pursue Licensing agreements, Joint Ventures and Revenue sharing agreements for the use, fabrication and sale of the independent products and processes.
The Company intends to achieve successful market penetration in numerous segments of the industry, generating escalating positive cash flows on an annual basis so that the Company becomes a competitive leading participant in the industry. Management will look to have its Integrated Municipal Solid Waste to Energy Complexes widely implemented across Africa, Asia, the Balkans and North America with a view to expanding to other international markets (Latin America), while continuing to pursue Concession Agreements under private license/joint ventures and other conventional arrangements.
The executive offices are located at1255 Phillips Square, Suite 605, Montreal, Quebec, CA H3B 3G5. Our telephone number is (877) 778-1268.

(A) | the last day of the fiscal year of the issuer during which it had total annual gross revenues of $1,000,000,000 (as such amount is indexed for inflation every 5 years by the Commission to reflect the change in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, setting the threshold to the nearest 1,000,000) or more; |
(B) | the last day of the fiscal year of the issuer following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of common equity securities of the issuer pursuant to an effective registration statement under this title; |

As an emerging growth company, the Company is exempt from Section 14A and B of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 which require the shareholder approval of executive compensation and golden parachutes.
The Company has irrevocably opted out of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards pursuant to Section 107(b) of the Act.

5 |
An investment in our common stock is highly speculative, involves a high degree of risk, and should be made only by investors who can afford a complete loss. You should carefully consider the following risk factors, together with the other information in this prospectus, including our financial statements and the related notes, before you decide to buy our common stock. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, or results of operations could be materially adversely affected, the trading of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment therein.
Risks Relating to the Early Stage of our Company
We are at a very early operational stage and our success is subject to the substantial risks inherent in the establishment of a new business venture.
The implementation of our business strategy is in a very early stage. Our business and operations should be considered to be in a very early stage and subject to all of the risks inherent in the establishment of a new business venture. Accordingly, the intended business and operations may not prove to be successful in the near future, if at all. Any future success that we might enjoy will depend upon many factors, several of which may be beyond our control, or which cannot be predicted at this time, and which could have a material adverse effect upon our financial condition, business prospects and operations and the value of an investment in the Company.
We have a very limited operating history and our business plan is unproven and may not be successful.
The Company was formed in August 2015 but we have not yet begun full scale operations. We have not proven that our business model will allow us to generate a profit.
We have suffered operating losses since inception and we may not be able to achieve profitability.
We had an accumulated consolidated deficit of $6,153,536 as of December 31, 2015 and we expect to continue to incur significant set up expenses in the foreseeable future. As a result, we are sustaining substantial operating and net losses, and it is possible that we will never be able to sustain or develop the revenue levels necessary to attain profitability.
We may have difficulty raising additional capital, which could deprive us of necessary resources.
We expect to continue to devote significant capital resources to expand our business plan. In order to support the initiatives envisioned in our business plan, we will need to raise additional funds through public or private debt or equity financing, collaborative relationships and/or other arrangements. Our ability to raise additional financing depends on many factors beyond our control, including the state of capital markets and the market price of our common stock. Because our common stock is not listed on a major stock market, many investors may not be willing or allowed to purchase it or may demand steep discounts. Sufficient additional financing may not be available to us or may be available only on terms that would result in further dilution to the current owners of our common stock.
We expect to raise additional capital during 2016 but we do not have any firm commitments for funding. If we are unsuccessful in raising additional capital, or the terms of raising such capital are unacceptable, we may have to modify our business plan and/or significantly curtail our planned activities and other operations.
There are substantial doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern and if we are unable to continue our business, our shares may have little or no value.
The Company’s ability to become a profitable operating company is dependent upon its ability to generate revenues and/or obtain financing adequate to fulfill our requirements to complete evaluations of Concession acquisitions and development of same opportunities and to achieve a level of revenues adequate to support our cost structure has raised substantial doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern. We plan to attempt to raise additional equity capital by selling shares in this offering and, if necessary, through one or more private placement or public offerings. However, the doubts raised, relating to our ability to continue as a going concern, may make our shares as an unattractive investment for potential investors. These factors, among others, may make it difficult to raise any additional capital.
Failure to effectively manage our growth could place strains on our managerial, operational and financial resources and could adversely affect our business and operating results.
Our growth has placed, and is expected to continue to place, a strain on our managerial, operational and financial resources. Further, if our business grows, we will be required to manage multiple relationships. Any further growth by us, or an increase in the number of our strategic relationships will increase this strain on our managerial, operational and financial resources. This strain may inhibit our ability to achieve the rapid execution necessary to implement our business plan, and could have a material adverse effect upon our financial condition, business prospects, operations and the value of an investment in the Company.

Risks Relating to Our Business
Competition in the Waste Management industry/milieu is highly competitive and there is no assurance that we will be successful in acquiring viable Concession engagements from regulating governmental authorities.
The Waste Management industry/milieu is intensely competitive. We compete with numerous companies, including many major companies which have substantially greater technical, financial and operational resources and staffs. Accordingly, there is a high degree of competition for access to funds. We cannot predict if the necessary funds can be raised or that any projected work will be completed.
Current and future governmental and environmental regulations could adversely affect our business.
Our business is subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations. Our operations are also subject to complex environmental laws and regulations adopted by the various jurisdictions in which we have or expect to have operations. We could incur liability to governments or third parties for any unlawful discharge of pollutants into the air, soil or water, including responsibility for remedial costs.
Because the requirements imposed by laws and regulations are frequently changed, no assurance can be given that laws and regulations enacted in the future, including changes to existing laws and regulations, will not adversely affect our business
Risks Relating to our Stock
The Offering price of $1.75 per Unit is arbitrary.
The Offering price of $1.75 per Unit has been arbitrarily determined by our management and does not bear any relationship to the assets, net worth or projected earnings of the Company, or any other generally accepted criteria of value.
We have no firm commitments to purchase any shares.
We have no firm commitment for the purchase of any shares. Therefore there is no assurance that a trading market will develop or be sustained. The Company has not engaged a placement agent or broker for the sale of the shares. The Company may be unable to identify investors to purchase the shares and may have inadequate capital to support its ongoing business obligations.
Our selling shareholder offering may make it more difficult to sell the Company’s offering.
The Company may experience difficulty raising proceeds in our offering in light of the selling shareholder offer of shares concurrently with our offering as this will make additional shares for purchase and investors may choose to buy from a selling shareholder thus lessening the sales and thus the proceeds to the Company.
All proceeds from the sale of shares offered by the Company will be immediately available for use by the Company.
There is no minimum offering amount and we have not established an escrow to hold any of the proceeds from the sale of the shares offered by the Company. As a result, all proceeds from the sale of shares offered by the Company will be available for immediate use by the Company. The proceeds of the sale may not be sufficient to implement the Company’s business strategy.
Our shares are not currently traded on any market or exchange. We will apply to have our common stock traded over the counter; there is no guarantee that our shares will ever be quoted on the OTC or listed on an exchange, which could severely impact their liquidity.
Currently our shares are not traded on any market or exchange. We will apply to have our common stock quoted via the OTC. Therefore, our common stock is expected to have fewer market makers, lower trading volumes and larger spreads between bid and asked prices than securities listed on an exchange such as the New York Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ Stock Market. These factors may result in higher price volatility and less market liquidity for the common stock. It is possible that the Company’s shares may never be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board or listed on an exchange.
7 |
A low market price would severely limit the potential market for our common stock.
Our common stock is expected to trade at a price substantially below $5.00 per share, subjecting trading in the stock to certain SEC rules requiring additional disclosures by broker-dealers. These rules generally apply to any non-NASDAQ equity security that has a market price share of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions (a “penny stock”). Such rules require the delivery, prior to any penny stock transaction, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated therewith and impose various sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than established customers and institutional or wealthy investors. For these types of transactions, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the sale. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to the broker-dealer, current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer’s presumed control over the market. Such information must be provided to the customer orally or in writing before or with the written confirmation of trade sent to the customer. Monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by such requirements could discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our common stock.
FINRA sales practice requirements may also limit a stockholders ability to buy and sell our stock.
In addition to the penny stock rules promulgated by the SEC, which are discussed in the immediately preceding risk factor, FINRA rules require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker -dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative, low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit the ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market value for our shares.
An investor’s ability to trade our common stock may be limited by trading volume.
A consistently active trading market for our common stock may not occur on the OTC. A limited trading volume may prevent our shareholders from selling shares at such times or in such amounts as they may otherwise desire. The Company’s shares may never be quoted on the OTC or listed on an exchange.
We have not voluntarily implemented various corporate governance measures, in the absence of which, shareholders may have more limited protections against interested director transactions, conflicts of interest and similar matters.
Recent federal legislation, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, has resulted in the adoption of various corporate governance measures designed to promote the integrity of the corporate management and the securities markets. Some of these measures have been adopted in response to legal requirements; others have been adopted by companies in response to the requirements of national securities exchanges, such as the NYSE or the NASDAQ Stock Market, on which their securities are listed. Among the corporate governance measures that are required under the rules of national securities exchanges and NASDAQ, are those that address the board of Directors independence, audit committee oversight, and the adoption of a code of ethics. We have not yet adopted any of these corporate governance measures, and since our securities are not listed on a national securities exchange or NASDAQ, we are not required to do so. It is possible that if we were to adopt some or all of these corporate governance measures, shareholders would benefit from somewhat greater assurances that internal corporate decisions were being made by disinterested directors and that policies had been implemented to define responsible conduct. For example, in the absence of audit, nominating and compensation committees comprised of at least a majority of independent directors, decisions concerning matters such as compensation packages to our senior officers and recommendations for director nominees, may be made by a majority of directors who have an interest in the outcome of the matters being decided. Prospective investors should bear in mind our current lack of corporate governance measures in formulating their investment decisions.
Because we will not pay dividends in the foreseeable future, stockholders will only benefit from owning common stock if it appreciates.
We have never paid dividends on our common stock and we do not intend to do so in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain any future earnings to finance our growth. Accordingly, any potential investor who anticipates the need for current dividends from his investment should not purchase our common stock.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus contains forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends affecting the financial condition of our business. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including, among other things:
Factors that might cause these differences include the following:
· | the ability of the Company to offer and sell the shares of common stock offered hereby; |
· | the integration of multiple technologies and programs; |
· | the ability to successfully complete development and commercialization of Concession engagements and the Company’s expectations regarding market growth; |
· | changes in existing and potential relationships with collaborative partners; |
· | the ability to retain certain members of management; |
· | our expectations regarding general and administrative expenses; |
· | our expectations regarding cash balances, capital requirements, anticipated revenue and expenses, including infrastructure expenses, and |
· | other factors detailed from time to time in filings with the SEC. |
In addition, in this prospectus, we use words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “plan,” “expect,” “future,” “intend,” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements.
In light of these risks and uncertainties, the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed in this prospectus may not occur and actual results could differ materially from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements. The Company will be required to update any forward looking statements as required by law.

With respect to up to 20,000,000 shares of common stock to be sold by the Company, unless we provide otherwise in a supplement to this prospectus, we intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of our securities for general corporate purposes, which may include one or more of the following:
· | Working capital; |
· | Set up (Fixed Asset purchases) and marketing/lobbying activities to locate and define/establish new prospects for Concession engagements; |
· | Capital expenditures for prospect Concession(s) acquisition and execution thereof |
It is anticipated that the proceeds from this offering will fund the Company’s operations for approximately 12 months whilst executing projected acquired Concession engagements.
Our management will have broad discretion in the allocation of the net proceeds of any offering, however, the following table outlines management’s current anticipated use of proceeds given that the offering is being completed on a best-efforts basis and may not result in the Company receiving the entire offering amount. In the event that 100% of the funds are not raised, management has outlined how they perceive the funds will be allocated, at various funding levels. The offering scenarios are presented for illustrative purposes only and the actual amount of proceeds, if any, may differ. The offering expenses of any selling shareholders are not included in this table, and any such expenses that were to be incurred would be paid out of General Operating Expenses. The table is set out in the perceived order of priority of such purposes, provided however; management may reallocate such proceeds among purposes as the situation dictates. Pending such uses, we intend to place such funds in an FDIC insured bank account.

Business Strategy
The Company is a resource management expertise and services provider, catering to commercial, municipal, and industrial customers, primarily in the areas of solid waste management and recycling services.
BioCrude Technologies, Inc. has developed efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly products, processes and systems for the reformation of waste material, waste management and creation of renewable energy.
The versatility and potential of the BioCrude Technology has been demonstrated by the many uses that our R & D department has already tested and verified. The avenues they have explored include sustainable and cost efficient methods that will enlarge composting and biomethanation yields and rates of decomposition while increasing output and providing a higher quality of end product. Their focus is on waste treatment protocols for Municipal Solid Waste (MSW), cellulose, all organic waste and all manure types; renewable energy sources such as biogas, ethanol and biodiesel; waste water treatment, and multiple other applications.
One very important area that BioCrude technologies excels in is the reformation of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) into renewable energy and marketable end-by-products, using its intrinsic intellectual property and know how in its “Integrated Municipal Solid Waste to Energy Proposed Complexes” for municipal applications. Understanding the non-homogenous nature and characteristics of the waste, we can define distinct processes to optimally handle the procurement of the varied categories of waste (MSW can be classified into organics, fuels, recyclables, inerts and others), once segregated with an efficient separation process and materials recovery facility (MRF).
The long-term vision of the organization is to build a highly sustainable and profitable company by transforming traditional solid waste streams into renewable resources and marketable by-products. Global competition for limited resources is, the Company believes, creating significant business opportunities for companies that can sustain and extract value in the form of energy and raw materials from resources previously considered an irretrievable waste stream. BioCrude’s business strategy has been firmly tied to creating a sustainable resource management model and the Company continues to be rooted in these same tenets today. Each day the Company strives to create long-term value for all stakeholders: customers, employees, communities, and shareholders, by helping customers and communities manage their resources in a sustainable and financially sound manner.
Environmental issues have taken the forefront globally, creating solid expectations for investments in green technology. The Company will pursue Licensing agreements, Joint Ventures and Revenue sharing agreements for the use, fabrication and sale of the independent products and processes.
The Company intends to achieve successful market penetration in numerous segments of the industry, generating escalating positive cash flows on an annual basis so that the Company becomes a competitive leading participant in the industry. Management will look to have its Integrated Municipal Solid Waste to Energy Complexes widely implemented across Africa, Asia, the Balkans and North America with a view to expanding to other international markets (Latin America), while continuing to pursue Concession Agreements under private license/joint ventures and other conventional arrangements.
Municipal Solid Waste Management is the collection, transport, processing (waste treatment), recycling or disposal of waste materials, usually ones produced by human activity, in an effort to reduce their effect on human health or local aesthetics or amenity.
Municipal Solid Waste is defined to include refuse from households, non-hazardous solid waste from industrial, commercial and institutional establishments (including hospitals), market waste, yard waste and street sweepings. MSWM encompasses the functions of collection, transfer, treatment, recycling, resource recovery and disposal of municipal solid waste.
Municipal Solid Waste Management is a major responsibility for local government. It is a complex task which requires appropriate organizational capacity and cooperation between numerous stakeholders in the private and public sectors.
The first goal of MSWM is to protect the health of the population, particularly that of low-income groups. Other goals include promotion of environmental quality and sustainability, support of economic productivity and employment generation.
Waste-to-energy (“W2E”) or energy-from-waste (“EfW”) is the process of creating energy in the form of electricity or heat from the incineration of waste source.
14 |
Conventional Municipal Solid Waste Management employs one or more of the following processes:
Ø | Waste prevention, including reuse of products |
Ø | Recycling, including composting |
Ø | Combustion with energy recovery |
Ø | Disposal through land-filling |
Landfilling is one of the most common ways of municipal solid waste disposal in developing countries. Air pollutants emitted from landfills contributes to the emission in the atmosphere of greenhouse gases and cause serious problems to human health.
Methane emissions from landfills are a serious environmental global concern, as it accounts for approximately 15% of current greenhouse gas emissions. Landfilling is a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) accountable for approximately 5% of total GHG releases which consists of methane from anaerobic decomposition of solid waste and carbon dioxide from wastewater decomposition.
The past 20 years has seen a change in how we look at our environment. There has been a greater understanding of the economic, social and environmental risks of not managing waste.
The main drivers of the W2E market are environmental factors, regulations and legislation and economic factors.
Environmental Factors
The Stern report, published in 2006, created an authoritative and eye-opening scientific report on the challenges of climate change. The report highlighted the need to decarbonize the power sector by 60% and reduce CO2 emissions by 80% of current levels to ensure increases in global temperature do not exceed two degrees Celsius.
Regulations and Legislation
Scientific evidence, public awareness and increased levels of participation in environmental campaigning have led to governments’ worldwide implementing regulations and legislation. Examples include:
· | EU Landfill Diversion Directive |
· | recycling targets |
· | climate change regulations |
15 |
Economics
Economic drivers to developing the waste and renewable energy sector have included:
· | waste disposal and landfill gate fees/landfill tax |
· | penalties/avoidance schemes (e.g. landfill allowance schemes and fines, carbon trading) |
· | energy prices |
Waste to Energy Market Size and Trend
According to the most recent data available from the International Energy Agency, from 2000 to 2006, global waste to energy power production from municipal and industrial wastes increased from 283 terawatt hours to 383 terawatt hours, a 35% increase over that period. SBI Energy’s in-depth analyses of the global market forecasts the market will increase from approximately $9 billion in 2011 to $27 billion by 2021, equivalent to a CAGR of 11%.
Source: http://www.waste-management-world.com
In the past, MSW management used a single technology landfilling or mass burn, incinerators had no pollution control and energy recovery and sanitary landfills were rare.
MSW management uses more integrated and complex approaches, the waste to energy facilities have minimal environmental burden and the sanitary landfills have requirements for designing operation and monitoring and gas collection.

Business Model
BioCrude’s business model is designed to create a profitable revenue stream through the direct acquisition of Concession Agreements from different Governments for the implementation of BioCrude’s integrated MSW-Energy Complexes. Our products, processes and services, marketed to the relevant target audience, enable us, to generate multiple revenue streams and consistent profitability derived from the high gross profit inherent within the realms of our proprietary products, services and applications.
Target Market
The global Waste to Energy (“W2E”) segment of the waste management industry is the target market BioCrude addresses. Management is confident it will succeed in having its integrated systems and processes widely implemented across Africa, Asia, the Balkans, the GULF and North America with a view to expanding to other international markets (Latin America). The Company’s first step in penetrating its target market has been taken with the signing of Concession Agreements with the country of the Union of the Comoros (Autonomous Island of Grande Comore); signed January 11, 2016.
Strategies of the Company
BioCrude’s strategy is designed to create a profitable revenue stream through the direct acquisition of Concession Agreements from different Governments for the implementation of BioCrude’s integrated MSW-Energy Complexes, or through the establishment of unique and strategic alliances via licensing arrangements and/or joint ventures within the industry milieu.
BioCrude has developed what we believe is a highly effective marketing strategy, built on a proactive direct marketing campaign with Government, large corporate facility management that target the sector for waste product treatment and reformation. The Company believes that this will result in a development of a marketing and distribution network with extensive coverage of the Company’s target market at a minimal expense, allowing the Company to reach profitability. We believe that our marketing strategy will permit us to generate an extensive customer/end user base; however there can be no assurance that our estimate regarding acceptance of our products and services will be correct.
The Company's long-term strategy is to create economically beneficial uses for waste streams through resource transformation solutions. Since the value of commodities after processing costs is typically higher than other disposal options, such as landfilling or incineration, the Company believes this strategy is effective long-term. The Company believes that as carbon taxes or cap and trade systems are implemented and the demand for commodities rises, economics will further favour this strategy. The Company is also focusing on lowering the cost of resource transformation solutions by reducing its recycling processing operating costs, examining ways to mitigate commodity price fluctuations, and developing new processing technologies. These steps will help to build an effective business model at lower commodity pricing levels.
The Company is focused on four main areas to improve the performance of base operations and increase cash flow generation:
1. | Pricing initiatives |
2. | Cost controls and operating efficiencies |
3. | Integrated waste to energy development initiatives with long term Concession Agreements |
4. | Asset management |
17 |
Pricing initiatives
BioCrude has developed a number of sales/solicitation programs and the standardization of the sales/solicitation process and standardized the sales/solicitation process. We believe that the pricing logic used in our fee programs, with implied “Put or Pay” and “Take or Pay” provisions for the supply of feedstock and resale of outputs (renewable energy), respectively, is reasonable and competitive. We expect to continue to add to our fee based pricing through additional administrative fees, recycling fees, late charges and further improvements to our existing fee structures. The goal of our pricing program is to generate price increases in excess of CPI. BioCrude will derive revenues from a combination of commodity sales (Marketable by-products – fertilizer and energy resale), carbon credits (CER’s under the “Clean Development Mechanism” established pursuant to article 12 of the “Kyoto Protocol” (CDM project)) and tipping fees paid for material processing. Fluctuations in commodity pricing are managed by a number of risk mitigation strategies including: financial hedging instruments (transfer of foreign exchange risk), Sovereign Guarantees, floor prices, forward sales contracts, index purchases, and tipping fees. The goal is to smooth revenue, net of cost of products purchased, and generate consistent cash flows.
Cost controls and operating efficiencies
The Company continues to search for the best practices throughout the entire organization and then implements these solutions through standardized continuous improvement programs. The goals of these programs are to enhance customer service, increase safety for employees, and to reduce operating and administrative costs. The Company has implemented continuous improvement strategies and the introduction of select operating efficiency initiatives in safety, productivity, maintenance, customer service, environmental compliance, and procurement.
Integrated Waste to Energy development initiatives with long term Concession Agreements
BioCrude excels is the reformation of MSW using its intrinsic intellectual property as well as its expertise in Integrated Waste to Energy Processing Complexes. BioCrude has and will continue to invest time, effort and valuable resources in the pursuit of Governmental Concession (MSW, Land, Supply of Treated Effluent and Power Purchase Agreements (PPA)) Agreements, for the duration of twenty five to thirty years, for the implementation of same. The essence of the Concession Agreements, not only guarantees the MSW and implied tipping fees, related thereto (with annual indexing), but the resale of the marketable by-products (energy to grid via PPA) for the duration of the term, with Sovereign Guarantees. Investments in Waste to Energy facilities position the Company well for the evolution of the industry from waste management to resource management.

For information regarding risk factors that could have a material adverse effect on our business, refer to the Risk Factors section of this prospectus beginning on page 7.
Going Concern
The future of the Company is dependent upon its ability to obtain financing and upon future profitable operations. Management has plans to seek additional capital through a private placement and public offering of its common stock, if necessary. Our auditors have expressed a going concern opinion which raises substantial doubts about the Issuers ability to continue as a going concern.
Plan of Operation
Asset Management
The BioCrude’s capital strategy will be focused in two main areas:
· | Implementing operating programs that improve capital efficiency and asset utilization; and |
· | Pursuing select strategic investment opportunities in waste transformation and resource optimization. |
BioCrude seeks to selectively invest growth capital in high-return opportunities that will enhance its ability to support emerging customer and market needs in waste transformation and resource optimization. The investment strategy seeks to leverage core competencies in materials processing to create additional value from the waste stream.
Revenue Streams
The Company has identified five (5) main revenue streams. Revenues derived from each Complex (Plant Operating Revenue) are the largest and most secure as this relies on the long term Concession Agreements.
Plant Operating Revenues
This revenue stream is comprised of the following four (4) elements;
19 |
Tipping Fees
In exchange for the provided environmental services, municipalities have to pay a tipping fee per ton of waste delivered by the city to the MSW-Energy Complexes (“Tipping Fees”) based on the long term Concession Agreement on a “Put or Pay” (for full face value) basis.
Sales of Power
In the W2E plant, the waste is processed in RDF (Refuse Derived Fuel) and Biomethanation processes to yield marketable by-products. The RDF and the biogas are used for power generation. The power is sold to the grid based on a long term contract (Power Purchase Agreement) on a “Take or Pay” (for full face value) basis.
Sales of Carbon Credits
The carbon credits gained by reducing the green gas emission and by producing power based on renewable energy are sold on the carbon credit market.
Sales of By-Products
The by-products of recycled materials and fertilizer will be marketed and sold to third parties:
Ø | Compost will be sold to the farming industry (which, in certain instances, is subsidized by the government), at spot market prices, less 15%. BioCrude may sell any excess product outside of the municipality and/or country. |
Ø | Ash can be sold to resellers of construction materials. |
Ø | Recyclables can be sold to entities (local and foreign) engaged in that processing milieu. |
In the unlikely event MSW feedstock is not delivered to the Complex, the MSW Agreement ensures that BioCrude is compensated for any shortfall in revenue derived from the sale of electricity and by-products of Compost, ash and recyclables produced by the complex.
Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) Fees
To ensure that the planned benefits contained in the design of each Complex is realized BioCrude undertakes to supervise the entire EPC process and is compensated accordingly, adhering to industry norms for such expertise.
Servicing Fees
Once the Complex is commercially operational, BioCrude is responsible for the ongoing operation and maintenance of the related facilities. The Company is compensated for supervising this activity in accordance with the terms of the contracts agreed to and signed prior to the commissioning of each Complex.
Licensing Fees
To accelerate the proliferation of the Company’s presence in the W2E market and at the same time reduce the demand on its cash resources BioCrude is willing to license its technology to selected third parties in the form of joint ventures, resulting in another source of revenue.
Competition
The market for Waste-to-Energy is dominated manly by Germen, French, American and British companies. Ex.: AE&E Group GmbH, Axpo Kompogas AG, Babcock & Wilcox Volund A/S, Bedminster International Ltd., BiogenGreenfinch, BTA International GmbH, Community Power Corporation, CNIM, Covanta Holding Corporation, EcoCorp Inc., Keppel Integrated Engineering Ltd., North American Power Group Ltd., Organic Waste Systems NV, STRABAG Umweltanlagen GmbH, Veolia Environmental Services, Waste Management Inc., and Wheelabrator Technologies Inc., among others.

During the past 4 years BioCrude has developed a reputation as a leader in waste management, a result of R&D of Environmental Technologies (both process and product based) whereby it has enhanced and optimized conventional technologies, augmented by its fungal technology that increases the rate of decomposition of organics. This lead to the development of efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly products, processes and systems for the reformation of waste material and the creation of renewable energy and marketable by-products.
As part of BioCrude’s marketing strategy, BioCrude invests time, effort and resources in order to prepare tailor made prefeasibility studies, presentations & educational literature for municipalities worldwide, and sends corporate delegations to these places for presentation of same, at no expense to these governmental institutions. This attribute of BioCrude’s direct marketing campaign has proven to be very successful. Governments worldwide were not only receptive, but appreciative of BioCrude’s formal and professional address. These efforts have given BioCrude a profound understanding of the challenges faced by governments at all levels in their dealings with waste management issues.
The Company, through its commercialization efforts, has established good relationships with governments and ministries in more than 30 countries in North America, Latin America, Asia, Africa and Europe and received a positive reception when presented with its waste to energy solution for their waste management dilemmas. This produced dozens of Letters of Interest, submitted to BioCrude, by different divisions of Governments (federal/municipal) from different countries, worldwide.
BioCrude, with confidence, claims to be the North American leader in waste management, having set as its objective, the profitability inherent within the realms of the activities issued of this sector, while building business relationships and social implications within the collectivity’s/communities that BioCrude is called upon to serve, beyond the environmental and social implications, and beyond the business imperatives.
BioCrude has adopted directive, as part of its corporate governance, to routinely undertake innovative strategic planning initiatives in order to design and implement integrated solid waste systems that are responsive to dynamic demographic and industrial growth needs of municipalities. Strategic planning starts with the formulation of long-term goals based on the local urban needs, followed by a medium and short-term action plan to meet these goals. The strategy and action plans should identify a clear set of integrated actions, responsible parties and needed human, physical and financial resources as part of the waste management solution.
BioCrude has not only demonstrated its proven ability to open up dialogue and develop relationships with the various divisions of Governments worldwide (Administrative and Technical) but has also developed confidence in same for potential and eventual engagement. BioCrude’s Public Relations and Business Development divisions have demonstrated their lobbying abilities as highly effective, efficient and productive in yielding results and establishing goodwill for BioCrude.
At present, the provisioning for waste treatment and “green” reformation of these products into renewable energy sources is regionalized and within a given geographic region of operations, can be competitive. However, we believe that there are no other entities that provide turnkey solutions targeted to all types and sizes of users. However, there are waste treatment providers that may elect to enter into this designated market if our model is successful. We compete on the basis of engineering uniqueness, quality, cost-effectiveness and the increasingly comprehensive and specialized nature of our services, along with the expertise, technology and professional support we offer. While we believe that we will have a competitive cutting edge advantage by being the most specialized in the market, there can be no assurance that our assumptions regarding our competitive position will be proven correct.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2015, we had no current assets. Current liabilities at December 31, 2015 totaled $238,438.
During the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, we used cash in operating activities of $19,369 and $46,973, respectively.
During the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, we had cash provided by financing activities of $16,560 and $44,908, respectively.
As of March 31, 2016, we had no current assets. Current liabilities at March 31, 2016 totaled $214,423.
During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, we used cash in operating activities of $31,938 and $9,106, respectively.
During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, we had cash provided by financing activities of $31,860 and $8,156, respectively.
We will require additional capital to meet our liquidity needs. Currently, the Company has determined that its anticipated monthly cash flow needs should not exceed $12,000 per month for the last 6 months of 2016.

The Company’s projected capital needs and its projected increase in expenses are based upon the Company’s projected acquisition of oil and gas interests over the coming twelve months; however, in the event that the full offering proceeds are not raised, the Company would acquire the oil and gas interests at a slower pace and/or focus its energies on the refinement of existing properties to maximum their productivity. The Company’s success does not depend on a scheduled acquisition and therefore it has flexibility to scale back its expenses to meet actual income.
We anticipate that we will receive sufficient proceeds from investors through this offering, to continue operations for at least the next twelve months; however, there is no assurance that such proceeds will be received and there are no agreements or understandings currently in effect from any potential investors. It is anticipated that the Company will receive increasing revenues from operations in the coming year; however, since the Company has a short history of revenues, it is difficult to anticipate what those revenues might be, if any, and therefore, management has assumed for planning purposes only that it may need to sell common stock, take loans or advances from officers, directors or shareholders or enter into debt financing agreements in order to meet our cash needs over the coming twelve months. The Issuer has no agreements or understandings for any of the above-listed financing options.
The Use of Proceeds section includes a detailed description of the use of proceeds over the differing offering scenarios of 100%, 75%, 50% and 25%. As the Company’s expenses are relatively stable, unless additional websites are rolled out, the Company believes it can fund its present operations with projected revenues together with offering proceeds under any of the offering scenarios. The Company will consider raising additional funds during 2014 and 2015 through sales of equity, debt and convertible securities, if it is deemed necessary.
BioCrude Technologies has no intention in investing in short-term or long-term discretionary financial programs of any kind.
Results of Operations
For the Years Ended December 31, 2015 and 2014
We have not generated any revenues since inception. As a result, we have reported a net loss of $3,958,227 and $76,762, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.
For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2016 and 2015
We have not generated any revenues since inception. As a result, we have reported a net loss of $43,258 and $27,580, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015.
Our independent registered public accounting firm has expressed a going concern opinion which raises substantial doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern. Due to the limited nature of the Company’s operations to date, the Company does not believe that past performance is any indication of future performance. The impact on the Company’s revenues of recognized trends and uncertainties in our market will not be recognized until such time as the Company has had sufficient operations to provide a baseline.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.
Critical Accounting Policies
The methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying our accounting policies have a significant impact on the results we report in our financial statements, which we discuss under the heading "Results of Operations" following this section of our MD&A. Some of our accounting policies require us to make difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain.
We set forth below those material accounting policies that we believe are the most critical to an investor’s understanding of our financial results and condition and that require complex management judgment.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) 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 amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission include, where applicable, disclosures of estimates, assumptions, uncertainties and markets that could affect the financial statements and future operations of the Company.

Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue under ASC 605 “Revenue Recognition.” Revenue is recognized when it is invoiced to the customer.

(1) | The number of shares listed in these columns includes all shares beneficially owned by the selling stockholder. |
The ownership percentages listed in these columns include only shares beneficially owned by the listed selling stockholder. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC. In computing the percentage of shares beneficially owned by a selling stockholder, shares of common stock subject to options or warrants, or debt convertible into common stock held by that selling stockholder that was exercisable on or within 60 days after May 18, 2016, were deemed outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of that selling stockholder. The ownership percentages are calculated based on the 49,785,343 shares of common stock that were outstanding on May 31, 2016.
By Selling Stockholders
The selling stockholders and any of its pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of its shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed prices. The selling stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:
· | ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits investors; |
· | block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; |
· | purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; |
· | an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; |
· | privately negotiated transactions; |
· | to cover short sales made after the date that this Registration Statement is declared effective by the Commission; |
· | broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholder to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; |
· | a combination of any such methods of sale; and |
· | any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
The selling stockholder may also sell shares under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, or another exemption from the registration requirements under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.
The issuer and the selling shareholders will sell the common stock being registered in this offering at a fixed price of $1.75 per share. The Company’s shares may never be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board or listed on an exchange.
Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholder (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated.
The selling stockholders may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares owned by it and, if it defaults in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell shares of common stock from time to time under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933 amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus.
30 |
Upon the Company being notified in writing by a selling stockholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of common stock through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer, a supplement to this prospectus will be filed, if required, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, disclosing (i) the name of each such selling stockholder and of the participating broker-dealer(s), (ii) the number of shares involved, (iii) the price at which such the shares of common stock were sold, (iv) the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such broker-dealer(s), where applicable, (v) that such broker -dealer(s) did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and (vi) other facts material to the transaction. In addition, upon the Company being notified in writing by a selling stockholder that a donee or pledgee intends to sell more than 500 shares of common stock, a supplement to this prospectus will be filed if then required in accordance with applicable securities law.
The selling stockholder also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.
The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares are “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Because the selling stockholders are an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. Discounts, concessions, commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, that can be attributed to the sale of Securities will be paid by the selling stockholder and/or the purchasers. The selling stockholder has represented and warranted to the Company that it acquired the securities subject to this registration statement in the ordinary course of the selling stockholder’s business and, at the time of its purchase of such securities the selling stockholder had no agreements or understandings, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute any such securities.
The Company has advised the selling stockholders that it may not use shares registered on this Registration Statement to cover short sales of common stock made prior to the date on which this Registration Statement shall have been declared effective by the Commission. If the selling stockholder uses this prospectus for any sale of the common stock, it will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The selling stockholder will be responsible to comply with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder promulgated, including, without limitation, Regulation M, as applicable to such selling stockholder in connection with re-sales of their respective shares under this Registration Statement.
The Company is required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares, but the Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the common stock by selling stockholders. The Company has agreed to indemnify the selling stockholder against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
By Our Company
We may sell the Units subject to this prospectus from time to time in any manner permitted by the Securities Act, including any one or more of the following ways:
· | directly to investors; |
· | to investors through agents; |
· | to dealers; and/or |
· | through one or more underwriters. |
Any underwritten offering may be on a best efforts or a firm commitment basis. We may also make direct sales through subscription rights distributed to our stockholders on a pro rata basis, which may or may not be transferable. In any distribution of subscription rights to stockholders, if all of the underlying securities are not subscribed for, we may then sell the unsubscribed securities directly to third parties or may engage the services of one or more underwriters, dealers or agents, including standby underwriters, to sell the unsubscribed securities to third parties. Under agreements into which we may enter, underwriters, dealers and agents who participate in the distribution of the shares of common stock may be entitled to indemnification by us against some liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or contribution from us to payments which the underwriters, dealers or agents may be required to make. Underwriters, dealers and agents may engage in transactions with us or perform services for us from time to time in the ordinary course of business.
The distribution of the Units may be effected from time to time in one or more transactions:
· | at a fixed price or prices. |
31 |
Shares sold as part of the Units sold pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part may not be listed or traded on any exchange or automated quotations system, but may be listed on the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board. The Company’s shares may never be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board or listed on an exchange. In the sale of the shares, underwriters or agents may receive compensation from us or from purchasers of the shares, for whom they may act as agents, in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions. Underwriters may sell the shares to or through dealers, and such dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriters and/or commissions from the purchasers for whom they may act as agents. Underwriters, dealers and agents that participate in the distribution of the securities will be underwriters under the Securities Act of 1933, and any discounts or commissions they receive from us and any profit on the resale of securities they realize may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.
Each time we sell Units, we will describe the method of distribution of the Units in the prospectus supplement relating to such transaction. The applicable prospectus supplement will, where applicable:
· | identify any such underwriter or agent; |
· | describe any compensation in the form of discounts, concessions, commissions or otherwise received from us by each such underwriter or agent and in the aggregate to all underwriters and agents; |
· | identify the amounts underwritten; and |
· | identify the nature of the underwriter’s obligation to take the shares. |
If underwriters are utilized in the sale of the securities, the Units may be acquired by the underwriters for their own account and may be resold from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at fixed public offering prices or at varying prices determined by the underwriters at the time of the sale. We may offer the shares to the public either through underwriting syndicates represented by managing underwriters or directly by the managing underwriters. If any underwriters are utilized in the sale of the securities, unless otherwise stated in the applicable prospectus supplement, the underwriting agreement will provide that the obligations of the underwriters are subject to specified conditions precedent and that the underwriters with respect to a sale of the shares will be obligated to purchase all of the shares offered if any are purchased.
Until the distribution of the securities is completed, rules of the SEC may limit the ability of any underwriters and selling group members to bid for and purchase the securities. As an exception to these rules, underwriters are permitted to engage in some transactions that stabilize the price of the securities, such as overallotment, stabilizing transactions, short covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Over allotment involves sales in excess of the offering size which create a short position. Stabilizing transactions consist of bids or purchases for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the price of the securities. Short covering transactions involve purchases of the securities in the open market after the distribution is completed to cover short positions. The underwriters may also impose a penalty bid, under which selling concessions allowed to syndicate members or other broker-dealers for securities sold in the offering for their account may be reclaimed by the syndicate if the securities are repurchased by the syndicate in stabilizing or covering transactions. In general, purchases of a security for the purpose of stabilization or to reduce a short position could cause the price of the security to be higher than it might be in the absence of such purchases. The imposition of a penalty bid might also have an effect on the price of a security to the extent that it were to discourage re-sales of the security before the distribution is completed.
We do not make any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above might have on the price of the securities. In addition, we do not make any representation that underwriters will engage in such transactions or that such transactions, once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.
Underwriters, dealers and agents may engage in transactions with us or perform services for us in the ordinary course of business.
If indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will authorize underwriters or other persons acting as our agents to solicit offers by particular institutions to purchase shares from us at the public offering price set forth in such prospectus supplement pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on the date or dates stated in such prospectus supplement. Each delayed delivery contract will be for an amount no less than, and the aggregate principal amounts of securities sold under delayed delivery contracts shall be not less nor more than, the respective amounts stated in the applicable prospectus supplement. Institutions with which such contracts, when authorized, may include commercial and savings banks, insurance companies, pension funds, investment companies, educational and charitable institutions and others, but will in all cases be subject to our approval. The obligations of any purchaser under any such contract will be subject to the conditions that (a) the purchase of the shares shall not at the time of delivery be prohibited under the laws of any jurisdiction in the United States to which the purchaser is subject, and (b) if the shares are being sold to underwriters, we shall have sold to the underwriters the total principal amount of the shares less the principal amount thereof covered by the contracts. The underwriters and such other agents will not have any responsibility in respect of the validity or performance of such contracts.
32 |
To comply with applicable state securities laws, the shares offered by this prospectus will be sold, if necessary, in such jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, shares may not be sold in some states unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

2) | a check payable to the order of “BioCrude Technologies, Inc.” in the amount of $1.75 for each share a Subscriber wants to purchase. |
OTC Electronic Bulletin Board Considerations
We intend to apply to have our stock traded on the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board. The Company’s shares may never be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board or listed on an exchange. The OTC Electronic Bulletin Board is separate and distinct from the NASDAQ stock market and other stock exchanges. NASDAQ has no business relationship with issuers of securities quoted on the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board. The SEC’s order handling rules, which apply to NASDAQ-listed securities, do not apply to securities quoted on the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board.
Although the NASDAQ stock market has rigorous listing standards to ensure the high quality of its issuers, and can delist issuers for not meeting those standards, the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board has no listing standards. Rather, it is the market maker who chooses to quote a security on the system, files the application, and is obligated to comply with keeping information about the issuer in its files. FINRA cannot deny an application by a market maker to quote the stock of a company. The only requirement for inclusion in the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board is that the issuer be current in its reporting requirements with the SEC.
Investors must contact a broker-dealer to trade OTC Electronic Bulletin Board securities. Investors do not have direct access to the bulletin board service. For bulletin board securities, there only has to be one market maker. Bulletin board transactions are conducted almost entirely manually. Because there are no automated systems for negotiating trades on the bulletin board, they are conducted via telephone. In times of heavy market volume, the limitations of this process may result in a significant increase in the time it takes to execute investor orders. Therefore, when investors place market orders — an order to buy or sell a specific number of shares at the current market price — it is possible for the price of a stock to go up or down significantly during the lapse of time between placing a market order and getting execution.
Because bulletin board stocks are usually not followed by analysts, there may be lower trading volume than for NASDAQ-listed securities.
DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
Title 7 of the CRS provides that directors and officers of Nevada corporations may, under certain circumstances, be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys‘ fees) and other liabilities actually and reasonably incurred by them as a result of any suit brought against them in their capacity as a director or officer, if they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, if they had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. CRS also provides that directors and officers may also be indemnified against expenses (including attorney’s fees) incurred by them in connection with a derivative suit if they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification may be made without court approval if such person was adjudged liable to the corporation.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to the directors, officers, and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the small business issuer of expenses incurred or paid by a directors, officers or controlling person of the small business issuer in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer, or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

INDEX TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
36 |
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
BioCrude Technologies, Inc.
Montréal, Québec, Canada
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of BioCrude Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the years then ended. The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of BioCrude Technologies, Inc. as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that BioCrude Technologies, Inc. will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, BioCrude Technologies, Inc. has suffered recurring losses from operations and has not yet generated any revenue from operations since inception that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Organization
BioCrude Technologies, Inc. (the “Company” and/or “BioCrude”) was originally organized in the State of Nevada on August 4, 2015 and is a startup company that provides consulting as well as supplies waste management services, more particularly, with specialization in the Waste to Energy (W2E) milieu. The mission and ethos of the Company is to acquire the necessary Concessions from appropriate Governmental Authorities of municipalities/countries responsible for same, in order for the Company to implement its technical expertise and knowhow to develop its proposed “Integrated Municipal Solid Waste (“MSW”) to Renewable Energy Complex” for the treatment and disposal of MSW for municipal applications.
BioCrude Technologies, Inc. (Canada) (“BioCrude Canada”) is a Corporation duly organized under the laws of Canada.
On December 29, 2015, the Company has purchased all of the assets of BioCrude Canada under the following purchase terms. The total price paid by the Company to the BioCrude Canada for all the assets of BioCrude Canada was 39,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and the assumption of the all of the loans and convertible loans of the BioCrude Canada, provided that any and all references therein to the rights of the creditors to convert their respective outstanding loan amounts in accordance with the terms of the convertible loans and loans into equity of BioCrude Canada shall be adjusted and amended to reflect the outstanding amounts convertible or exchangeable, as the case may be, into the same amount of shares of the Company, all with the same terms and conditions set out in the respective agreements. The Company is obligated to execute all of the “Outstanding Subscriptions” assumed, and issue out 674,000 shares of its common stock to the respective subscribers, respecting the terms, conditions and caveats of the Subscription Agreements, as established, by and between each subscriber and BioCrude Canada. For accounting purposes, the transaction between the Company and BioCrude Canada is done by two entities under common control, so for accounting purposes, these two companies are consolidated under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with GAAP in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
The consolidated financial statements herein have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and include the accounts of the Company and those of its wholly-owned subsidiaries as follows: 9175 1925 Quebec Inc., a Canadian corporation and BioCrude Canada. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN
As of December 31, 2015, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $6,153,536 and negative working capital of $238,438. Losses have principally occurred as a result of the substantial resources required for research and development and marketing of the Company’s products which included the general and administrative expenses associated with its organization and product development. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Management plans to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plan to allow the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates
Preparing 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, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
42 |
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors, based on their fair value. The Company measures share-based compensation to consultants by recognizing the fair value of the awards over the period the services are rendered or goods are provided.
Basic and Diluted Loss per Share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period. Diluted loss per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive loss per share excludes all potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. The Company excluded 4,300,000 and 4,366,000 of potentially issuable shares of common stock related to convertible debt due to their anti-dilutive effect for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
Income Taxes
The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying values and their respective income tax basis (temporary differences). The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
Foreign Currency
The Company accounts for its foreign currency transaction gains and losses as other comprehensive income (loss) included in equity.
New and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) - Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. ASU 2015-03 amends previous guidance to require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this ASU. The standard is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The Company expects that the affected amounts on its balance sheets will be reclassified within the balance sheets upon adoption of this ASU to conform to this standard.
The Company does not expect the adoption of any other recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a material impact on its financial statements.
Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated all transactions from December 31, 2015 through the financial statement issuance date for subsequent event disclosure consideration.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Organization
BioCrude Technologies, Inc. (the “Company” and/or “BioCrude”) was originally organized in the State of Nevada on August 4, 2015 and is a startup company that provides consulting as well as supplies waste management services, more particularly, with specialization in the Waste to Energy (W2E) milieu. The mission and ethos of the Company is to acquire the necessary Concessions from appropriate Governmental Authorities of municipalities/countries responsible for same, in order for the Company to implement its technical expertise and knowhow to develop its proposed “Integrated Municipal Solid Waste (“MSW”) to Renewable Energy Complex” for the treatment and disposal of MSW for municipal applications.
BioCrude Technologies, Inc. (Canada) (“BioCrude Canada”) is a Corporation duly organized under the laws of Canada.
On December 29, 2015, the Company has purchased all of the assets of BioCrude Canada under the following purchase terms. The total price paid by the Company to the BioCrude Canada for all the assets of BioCrude Canada was 39,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and the assumption of the all of the loans and convertible loans of the BioCrude Canada, provided that any and all references therein to the rights of the creditors to convert their respective outstanding loan amounts in accordance with the terms of the convertible loans and loans into equity of BioCrude Canada shall be adjusted and amended to reflect the outstanding amounts convertible or exchangeable, as the case may be, into the same amount of shares of the Company, all with the same terms and conditions set out in the respective agreements. The Company is obligated to execute all of the “Outstanding Subscriptions” assumed, and issue out 674,000 shares of its common stock to the respective subscribers, respecting the terms, conditions and caveats of the Subscription Agreements, as established, by and between each subscriber and BioCrude Canada. For accounting purposes, the transaction between the Company and BioCrude Canada is done by two entities under common control, so for accounting purposes, these two companies are consolidated under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).
Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim information under Regulation S-K. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of a normal and recurring nature considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2016 may not necessarily be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016. These unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, and notes thereto contained in this prospectus.
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with GAAP in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
The consolidated financial statements herein have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and include the accounts of the Company and those of its wholly-owned subsidiaries as follows: 9175 1925 Quebec Inc., a Canadian corporation and BioCrude Canada. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN
As of March 31, 2016, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $6,196,794 and negative working capital of $214,423. Losses have principally occurred as a result of the substantial resources required for research and development and marketing of the Company’s products which included the general and administrative expenses associated with its organization and product development. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Management plans to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plan to allow the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.
49 |
NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates
Preparing 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, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors, based on their fair value. The Company measures share-based compensation to consultants by recognizing the fair value of the awards over the period the services are rendered or goods are provided.
Basic and Diluted Loss per Share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period. Diluted loss per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive loss per share excludes all potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. The Company excluded -0- and 4,366,000 of potentially issuable shares of common stock related to convertible debt due to their anti-dilutive effect for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
Income Taxes
The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying values and their respective income tax basis (temporary differences). The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
Foreign Currency
The Company accounts for its foreign currency transaction gains and losses as other comprehensive income (loss) included in equity.
New and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) - Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. ASU 2015-03 amends previous guidance to require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this ASU. The standard is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The Company expects that the affected amounts on its balance sheets will be reclassified within the balance sheets upon adoption of this ASU to conform to this standard.
The Company does not expect the adoption of any other recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a material impact on its financial statements.
Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated all transactions from March 31, 2016 through the financial statement issuance date for subsequent event disclosure consideration.

Item 2: Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Our bylaws contain provisions which require that the Company indemnify its officers, directors, employees and agents, in substantially the same language as Title 7 of the CRS. Article 12 of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation provides for the Company’s ability to indemnify its officers, directors, employees and agents, subject to the limitations provided in CRS, for expenses actually and reasonably incurred. No indemnification shall be made if the proposed party has been adjudged to be liable to the Company or where the matter was settled without court approval. Indemnification must be made upon a determination by a majority of the uninterested Board, and if not available, by the shareholders or by a court of competent jurisdiction.
Item 3: Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
Between August 4, 2015 and December 31, 2015, we have issued all of the outstanding shares, as well as all executed convertible loans of the Company to any entitled investors. The issuances of shares to investors are exempt from registration under Sections 4(2) and 4(6) of the Securities Act and Regulation D. The shares bear a restrictive transfer legend. These transactions (a) involved no general solicitation and each investor had knowledge of all material facts about the issuer. Each purchaser was given the opportunity to ask questions of us. Thus, we believe that the offering was exempt from registration under Regulation D, Rule 505 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

54 |
(iii) | include any additional or changed material information on the plan of distribution. |
(2) | that for determining liability under the Securities Act, to treat each post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering. |
(3) | to file a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering. |
(4) | that for determining liability of the undersigned small business issuer under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned small business issuer undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned small business issuer pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned small business issuer will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser: |
(i) | Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned small business issuer relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; |
(ii) | Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned small business issuer or used or referred to by the undersigned small business issuer; |

Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use. |
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to the directors, officers, and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a directors, officers or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer, or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
55 |
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the registrant has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized in the City of Montreal, Quebec, Canada on June 1, 2016.
