BASANITE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2020 AND 2019

(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION, NATURE OF BUSINESS AND GOING CONCERN

(A) Overview and Basis of Presentation

On May 30, 2006, Basanite, Inc. was organized as a Nevada corporation. Basanite and its wholly owned subsidiaries are herein referred to as the "Company", “we”, “our”, or “us”. Currently based in Pompano Beach, Florida, the Company intends to manufacture concrete-reinforcing products made from basalt fiber reinforced polymers (“BFRP”) such as its primary product BasaFlex. This UV-stable, chemical, acid and moisture resistant material is sustainable and environmentally friendly and has been engineered to replace steel as it never rusts, therefore, addressing the industry’s current corrosion issues.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position and results of operations. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the SEC on April 6, 2020. The interim results for the period ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year. It is management's opinion, however, that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made which are necessary for a fair financial statement presentation.

(B) Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Basanite, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Basanite Industries, LLC and Basalt America formerly known as Rockstar Acquisitions, LLC.

(C) Liquidity and Management Plans

Since inception, the Company has incurred net operating losses and used cash in operations. The Company has an accumulated deficit of approximately $26.8 million, a working capital deficit of approximately $2.1 million, and cash used in operations of approximately $1.0 million as of and for the period ended June 30, 2020. Losses have principally occurred as a result of the substantial resources required for product development and marketing of the Company's products, which include the general and administrative expenses associated with its organization and product development.  Basanite Industries submitted its first round of BasaFlex™ (Basalt Fiber Reinforced Polymer) rebar products the Structures and Materials Department of the University of Miami, Miami, Florida (UM), an industry accredited independent testing laboratory, to obtain a Certified Test Report which will allow Basanite to participate in precast, architectural, flatwork and other non-structural engineered applications.  On May 29^th, 2020, a Certified Test Report was submitted to Basanite for engineering use.  Basanite Industries will be submitting a second round of BasaFlex™ rebars for additional testing that will further certify and qualify BasaFlex™ for Federal and state government applications.  The Company will begin scaling its production in Q3, 2020 to meet the expected demand for alternative, non-corrosive reinforcement, however we expect operating losses to continue through 2021.

The Company had cash of $116,483 compared to $129,152 at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.  At this time, the Company believes that it has sufficient access to future capital to fund its planned operations through the third quarter of calendar year 2020. We have historically satisfied our working capital requirements through the sale of restricted common stock and the issuance of warrants and promissory notes.  Until future revenues and corresponding cash flows materialize, we will attempt to fund working capital requirements through third party financing, including a private placement of our securities as well as bridge loan arrangements. We cannot provide any assurances that required capital will be obtained or that the terms of such required capital may be acceptable to us. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing, we may reduce our operating activities until sufficient funding is secured or revenues are generated to support operating activities.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2020 AND 2019

(UNAUDITED)

 

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION, NATURE OF BUSINESS AND GOING CONCERN (continued)

The coronavirus (“COVID-19”) that was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China in December 2019 and that has now spread throughout the world could adversely impact our operations or those of our third-party partners. Additionally, the continued spread of the virus could negatively impact the manufacturing, supply, distribution and sale of our products and our financial results. The extent to which the coronavirus impacts our operations or those of our third-party partners will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the duration of the outbreak, new information that may emerge concerning the severity of the coronavirus and the actions to contain the coronavirus or treat its impact, among others. Such developments could have a material adverse effect on our financial results and our ability to conduct business as expected. Additionally, the disruption to capital markets caused by the pandemic may adversely affect the Company’s ability to obtain funding to continue operations in the future.

These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. As a result of these factors, the report of our independent auditors dated April 6, 2020, on our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 included an emphasis of matter paragraph indicating that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These condensed consolidated 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 believes that the actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plan provides the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(A) Cash

The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash instruments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  The Company places its cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash on deposit with financial institutions in the United States, which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Company ("FDIC") up to $250,000. The Company's credit risk in the event of failure of these financial institutions is represented by the difference between the FDIC limit and the total amounts on deposit. Management monitors the financial institutions credit worthiness in conjunction with balances on deposit to minimize risk.

(B) Use of Estimates in Financial Statements

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

(C) Inventories

The Company’s inventories consist of raw materials, work in process and finished goods, both purchased and manufactured. Inventories are stated at lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined on the first-in, first-out basis. Raw inventory consists of basalt fiber and other necessary elements to produce the basalt rebar. On a quarterly basis, the Company analyzes its inventory levels and records allowances for inventory that has become obsolete and inventory that has a cost basis in excess of the expected net realizable value.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(G) Stock-Based Compensation

The Company recognizes compensation costs to employees under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. Under FASB ASC Topic 718, companies are required to measure the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Share based compensation arrangements include stock options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans. As such, compensation cost is measured on the date of grant at their fair value. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the grant.

NOTE 3 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

There are several new accounting pronouncements issued or proposed by the FASB. Each of these pronouncements, as applicable, has been or will be adopted by the Company. Management does not believe any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position or operating results.

NOTE 4 – OPERATING LEASE

On January 31, 2019, the Company entered into an agreement to lease approximately 25,470 square feet of office and manufacturing space in Pompano Beach, Florida. The original term of the lease was approximately five years and two months. On March 25, 2019, the Company entered into an amendment to the agreement to increase the square footage of leased premises to 36,900 square feet, increasing the Company’s base rent obligation to be approximately $33,825 per month for one year and nine months, and increasing annually at a rate of three percent for the remainder of the lease term. The aggregate base rent payments for the term of the lease is $2,073,344. Additionally, as a result of the lease amendment, the lease deposit required was increased to $74,000.

The future minimum lease payments to be made under the operating lease as of June 30, 2020 are as follows:

2020				202,950
2021				415,033
2022				427,484
2023				440,308
2024				110,884
Total minimum lease payments				1,596,659
Discount				(387,178	)
Operating lease liability			$	1,209,481

Operating lease liabilities are based on the net present value of the remaining lease payments over the remaining lease term. In determining the present value of lease payments, the Company used the incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date. As of June 30, 2020, the weighted-average remaining lease term is 4.0 years and the weighted-average discount rate used to determine the operating lease liability was 15.0%. For the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company expensed $107,595 and $92,478, respectively for rent. For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company expensed $215,183 and $211,696, respectively for rent.

If the SBA confirms full and complete loan forgiveness, the Company’s obligation under the note will be deemed fully satisfied and paid in full. If the SBA denies full and complete loan forgiveness or only partly confirms forgiveness, the Company will be obligated to repay the bank for the total outstanding balance of the note, including principal and interest. The bank will establish terms, including monthly payments based on a maturity of two years from the date of funding and not more than 1.0% interest per annum. No principal or interest payments will be due prior to the end of the six-month deferment period. The Payroll Protection Program requires that the funds be used to maintain the current number of employees as well cover payroll-related costs, monthly mortgage or rent payments and utilities and not more than 25% can be expended on non- payroll-related costs. After providing documented evidence of the number of employees and the use of funds, the SBA will provide loan forgiveness for the documented costs.

CalSTRS Judgement

On March 31, 2014, the Company received a “Notice of Default” letter from legal counsel representing the California State Teachers Retirement System (“CalSTRS”) (the landlord for the Company’s office space) alerting that the Company was in default of its lease for failure to pay monthly rent for the office space located at 2400 East Commercial Boulevard, Suite 612, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33304.

The Company had indicated in writing its intention to cooperate with the landlord while trying to resolve the matter. On February 11, 2015, the landlord, through its attorneys, filed a motion for summary judgment.

On April 22, 2015, the motion for unpaid rent, recovery of abated rents and tenant improvements and attorney’s costs was granted by the Circuit Court of the 17th Judicial Circuit in and for Broward County and the Company has reserved the entire judgement of $388,866.

NOTE 9 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (continued)

RAW Materials Litigation

On or about August 28, 2018, Raw Energy Materials Corp. filed an action for declaratory relief and breach of contract in Broward County, Florida, in the 17^th Judicial Circuit Court, titled Raw Energy Materials Corp. v. Rockstar Acquisitions, LLC, Paymeon, Inc. (now Basanite, Inc.), and Basalt America, LLC, CASE NO.: CACE 18-020596.

An Amended Complaint was filed on or about December 19, 2018 adding Basanite Industries, LLC as a defendant, as well as an alleged claim under Florida Statute Section 501.201 and for injunction. 

The Company and all of the defendants in this case are contesting plaintiff's claims vigorously, have filed counterclaims and are considering additional filings against the plaintiff, as well as its affiliated companies and principals, including Don Smith and Elina Jenkins. 

The nature of the dispute is based on representations (or misrepresentations) we allege were made to us and terms of a previously existing licensing agreement, related consulting and other agreements, as well as related sales of equipment/machinery and goods. As it became apparent that the subject license agreement was effectively worthless and moot to the Company, the parties promptly agreed to an order terminating that license agreement, which resulted in the Agreed Order dated January 28, 2019.

The parties continue to litigate damages arising from the dispute.

Depositions of Raw Energy’s principal, Don Smith, and associate, Elina Jenkins, were taken in January of 2020. Discovery is ongoing. We filed a Motion for Summary Judgment pending which had to be withdrawn, as it was based on Raw Energy having previously assigned its license rights and the license agreement to the Global Energy entity. After the Motion was filed, the defendants purported to find documents allegedly assigning the license back to Raw Energy. These documents were never produced before, and never discussed by Don Smith in his deposition. Nevertheless, the documents created a justiciable issue of fact so that our Motion would not have likely been successful at that time.

We are still evaluating and considering claims against Raw Energy affiliates, including Don Smith and Elina Jenkins. These evaluations are largely subject to review of discovery pending. Some documents have been received, some are expected to be received over the next month and some are subject to a resolution of objections. More specifically, the plaintiff's prior counsel, Michael Flam, has advised that he will start producing documents next week and continue to gather and produce same throughout the month of August 2020.

HLM Paymeon Storefront Damage Settlement

On December 15, 2016, a third-party driver drove his car through the Company’s retail storefront located at 2599 N. Federal Highway, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33305.  The accident caused severe damage to the building causing the city of Fort Lauderdale to declare the building an unsafe structure.  The Company was forced to vacate the premises, therefore, terminating the lease.  The damaged storefront and terminated lease effectively terminated the business.  On August 3, 2017, the Company filed a complaint with the Circuit Court of the 17^th Judicial Circuit in and for Broward County, Florida for loss of income, beneficial lease and debt to the sub-landlord.  On February 26, 2020, the Company was able to settle for $125,000 in exchange for a Complete Release for All Claims against all parties named in the case.  The case was taken on a contingency basis by its attorney, therefore, reducing the settlement proceeds by 40% and related expenses.  The Company received $70,817 in net proceeds on March 18, 2020 represented by the gain on settlement of lawsuit.

NOTE 11 – OPTIONS AND WARRANTS (continued)

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, 9,165,815 five-year warrants were issued.  No warrants were exercised or cancelled.

During the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, total stock-based compensation expense amounted to $0 and $1,045,734 respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, total stock-based compensation expense amounted to $0 and $1,119,336, respectively.

NOTE 12 – INCOME TAXES

The Coronavirus Aid and Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act enacted on March 27, 2020 provided relief for individuals and businesses as a result of COVID-19 and its impact on the economy.  The CARES Act provided for additional relief for businesses by amending the net operating loss (“NOL”) rules.  The amendment allows for the carryback of NOLs to each of the five taxable years preceding the taxable year in which the loss arises.  Since the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“TCJA”), NOLs generally could not be carried back but could be carried forward indefinitely. Further, the TCJA limited NOL absorption to 80% of taxable income. The CARES Act temporarily removes the 80% limitation, reinstating it for tax years beginning after 2020.  This amendment does not currently benefit the Company as it has sustained losses in those years.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on our management’s beliefs, assumptions and expectations and on information currently available to our management. Generally, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “projects,” “predicts,” “potential” and similar expressions intended to identify forward-looking statements, which generally are not historical in nature. All statements that address operating or financial performance, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future are forward-looking statements, including without limitation our expectations with respect to product sales, future financings, or the commercial success of our products. We may not actually achieve the plans, projections or expectations disclosed in forward-looking statements, and actual results, developments or events could differ materially from those disclosed in the forward-looking statements. Our management believes that these forward-looking statements are reasonable as and when made. However, you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements because they speak only as of the date when made. We do not assume any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required by federal securities laws and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). We may not actually achieve the plans, projections or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements, and actual results, developments or events could differ materially from those disclosed in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including without limitation those described from time to time in our future reports filed with the SEC.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Basanite and its wholly owned subsidiaries are herein referred to as the "Company", “we”, “our”, or “us”.

Overview

This overview provides a high-level discussion of our operating results and some of the trends that affect our business. We believe that an understanding of these trends is important to understand our financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. This summary is not intended to be exhaustive, nor is it intended to be a substitute for the detailed discussion and analysis provided elsewhere in this report, and our audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2019 filed with the SEC on April 6, 2020.

The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Basanite Industries, LLC (“BI”) manufactures BasaFlex™, a basalt fiber reinforced polymer (“BFRP”) rebar. BFRP rebar is a stronger, lighter, sustainable, non-conductive and non-corrosive alternative for traditional steel rebar and wire mesh.  BI leases a fully permitted and Underwriters Laboratories (“UL”) approved 36,900 square foot facility located in Pompano Beach, Florida, equipped with five customized Pultrusion machines.  Each machine has two linear production lines (a total capacity of 10 manufacturing lines).  BI’s operations team is currently in the processes of optimizing and scaling the manufacturing plant to produce 11,000 to 17,000 linear feet of BFRP rebar per line, per day, depending on the product mix. BI’s own fully equipped Test Lab is utilized to evaluate, validate and verify each product’s performance attributes.

Basanite Industries submitted its first round of BasaFlex™ (Basalt Fiber Reinforced Polymer) rebar products the Structures and Materials Department of the University of Miami, Miami, Florida (UM), an industry accredited independent testing laboratory, to obtain a Certified Test Report which will allow Basanite to participate in precast, architectural, flatwork and other non-structural engineered applications.  On May 29^th, 2020 a Certified Test Report was submitted by UM to Basanite for engineering use.  Basanite Industries will be submitting a second round of BasaFlex™ rebars for additional testing that will further certify and qualify BasaFlex™ for Federal and State government applications.  The Company will begin scaling its production in Q3, 2020 to meet the expected demand for alternative, non-corrosive reinforcement, however we expect operating losses to continue until at least 2021.

The manufacture of concrete reinforcement products made from continuous basalt fiber create substantial benefits for the construction industry, including but not limited to, the following:

·

BasaFlex™ never rusts – steel reinforcement products rust, causing time and repair costs down the road;

·

BasaFlex™ is sustainable; with a longer lifecycle – production of our products results in exceptionally low carbon footprint when compared with steel. The lack of corrosion allows the “lifespan” of concrete products to be significantly longer; and

·

BasaFlex™ has a lower final, in place cost – the physical nature of our products relative to steel (4X lighter, easily transportable, “coil-able”, safer and easier to use) reduces the all-in cost of reinforcement when all factors are considered.

We believe that macroeconomic factors are pressuring the construction industry to consider the use of alternative reinforcement materials for the following reasons: the increasing need for global infrastructure repair; recent design trends towards increasing the lifespan of projects and materials; and increasing consideration of the long-term costs and environmental impacts of material selections.  We believe we are well positioned to benefit from this renewed focus, although it is difficult to determine at this point what the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic to the construction industry.

Once we commence scaled production, we expect that a substantial number of larger customers will request terms for payment. We believe that we will need to grant customers anywhere from 30 to 45 days to complete payment in order to be competitive. We recognize that there may be risk associated with granting terms to certain customers in the construction industry. Our target customers are precast concrete producers, large general and marine contractors, home builders, as well as large distributors serving the general construction industry. With this risk in mind, we are exploring all methods of protecting our interests moving forwards.

We expect to continue making investments in BI. We require additional capital to: (1) support additional mechanical ASTM testing from independent laboratories or universities for industry verification; (2) engage the engineering and industry experts to develop a key software program; (3) purchase raw materials and other goods and services related to our manufacturing needs; (4) increase our logistics, management, quality assurance and production teams; (5) purchase additional equipment required; (6) continue research and development around new products for the concrete reinforcement industry; and (7) meet other general working capital needs.

Results of Operations

Revenue – The Company had $593 and $2,218 of revenues as a result of sales of finished goods sold for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $2,898 for both the three and six months in the prior year. Revenues have been consistent as a result of the Company’s retooling of machinery and acquisition of new raw materials in preparation to shift focus to a new production of materials in order to derive outputs that can be tightly controlled in terms of quality and specifications during both periods.

Cost of Goods Sold

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company had cost of sales of $1,603 and $2,222 compared to $41,176 and $44,469, respectively for the same period in the prior year. Cost of goods sold consisted of the following:

		For the three months ended June 30,								For the six months ended June 30,
		2020				2019				2020				2019
Product cost		$	1,575			$	725			$	2,146			$	725

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company had a negative gross margin from continuing operations in the amount of $1,010 and $4 compared to a negative gross margin from continuing operations in the amount of $38,278 and $41,571, respectively for the same period in the prior year. The Company lost money on a gross margin basis due to inefficiencies in the start-up process and extremely narrow margins on the initial sales of products. The Company’s initial sales were at very low gross margins to try to gain market share and gain exposure to the product. In the future, as the Company's product gains acceptance it is expected for margins to increase.

Operating Expenses

Professional fees – During the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 professional fees were $53,016 compared to $62,410 for the same period in the prior year. The decrease was minimal as during both periods, the Company had paid similar amounts for legal and accounting services.

During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 professional fees were $162,874 compared to $214,274 for the same period in the prior year. The decreased cost was due to higher legal expense in the prior period resulting from litigation with its supplier and consultants.

Payroll and payroll taxes – During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, payroll and payroll taxes were $162,455 and $399,886 compared to $227,697 and $317,309 in the prior year.  The decrease was due to the termination of the prior CEO in the first quarter of 2020 compared to being employed during the same period in the prior year.

Consulting - During the three months ended June 30, 2020, consulting fees were $81,875 and $58,017 for the same period in the prior year. The increase is due to a consulting agreement for senior management.

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, consulting fees were $98,938 compared to $216,090 for the same period in the prior year. The decrease was due to the Company having amounts paid under several consulting agreements to senior management.

General and administrative – During the three months ended June 30, 2020, general and administrative expenses were $283,034 compared to $1,245,688 for the same period in the prior year. The decrease is largely due to the higher stock-based compensation expense in the prior year of $1,045,734.

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, general and administrative expenses were $500,987 compared to $1,499,717 for the same period in the prior year. The decrease is largely due to the higher stock-based compensation expense in the prior year of $1,119,337.

Other Income

Miscellaneous income - During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, miscellaneous income was $0 and $1,274 compared to the gain on settlement of lawsuit of $70,817 and $1,274 or the same period in the prior year. The increase is due to the net settlement of $125,000 less the contingency fee and expenses paid to the attorney for the HLM Storefront litigation.

Gain on settlement of payable - During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company had no gain on settlement of payable in the current period as compared to $137,497 for the same period in the prior year.

Gain on extinguishment of debt - During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company had a gain of $980 for both periods compared to $2,886 for both periods in the prior year.

Other Expenses

Interest expense - During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, interest expense was $201,007 and $251,830 compared to $15,632 and $47,142, respectively, for the same period in the prior year. The increase is mainly due to the amortization of the debt discounts recorded for the convertible debt.

Disposition of fixed asset - During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company had a $0 loss for both periods compared to a loss of $1,478 in the prior year.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company had a $0 gain for both periods compared to a gain of $0 and $700 in the prior year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since inception, the Company has incurred net operating losses and used cash in operations. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $26,786,778. The Company has incurred general and administrative expenses associated with its product development and compliance while concurrently preparing the facility and developing the manufacturing business. We expect operating losses to continue in the short term and require additional financing for continued support of our BFRP manufacturing business until the Company can generate sufficient revenues and positive cash flow. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  

We have historically satisfied our working capital requirements through the sale of restricted common stock and the issuance of warrants and promissory notes.  We will continue our efforts until we have can obtain positive cash flow to cover our expenses.

At June 30, 2020, the Company had cash of $116,483 compared to $129,152 at December 31, 2019.

Notwithstanding the proceeds from the sale of our common stock this year, current working capital is not sufficient to maintain our current operations, and there is no assurance that sales efforts will be successful enough in the near term to achieve the level of revenue sufficient to provide positive cash flow. To the extent such revenues and corresponding cash flows do not materialize, we will continue working towards securing more working capital with a preference towards debt which may be convertible to equity. We cannot provide any assurances that required capital will be obtained or that the terms of such required capital may be acceptable to us. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing, we may reduce our operating activities until sufficient funding is secured or revenues are generated to support operating activities.

Cash Flows

 

Net cash used in operating activities amounted to $1,040,380 and $1,232,376 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we used $59,377 net cash for investing activities compared to $428,794 used in the same period in the prior fiscal year for the modifications and UL listing of the production machinery and the final payments for the enhancements made to our production facility as compared to the deposits made on machinery and equipment.

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we had $1,087,088 net cash provided by financing activities compared to $2,466,819 in the prior year.  Issuance of common shares for $616,667, borrowing of $851,727 from the issuance of convertible and short-term notes payable, including from related parties; less $348,000 of a partial repayment of convertible notes; and less $33,306 of partial repayment of notes payable provided the net cash during the six months ended June 30, 2020.  We also issued common shares for $2,262,749, borrowing of $274,070 from the issuance of short-term notes payable, including from related parties; less $20,000 of a partial repayment of convertible notes; and less $50,000 of partial repayment of notes payable provided the net cash during the six months ended June 30, 2019.

We do not believe that our cash on hand as of June 30, 2020 will be sufficient to fund our current working capital requirements to the point where we are generating positive cash flow. We have recently entered into several convertible promissory notes to help fund operations and will require additional working capital in the short term.  We continue working towards securing more working capital with a preference towards debt which may be convertible to equity. However, there is no assurance that we will be successful in our efforts or, if we are, that the terms will be beneficial to our shareholders.

Risk Factors

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risk factors included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 filed with the SEC on April 6, 2020, before deciding whether to invest in the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us, or that we currently deem immaterial, may also impair our business operations or our financial condition.

ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) that are designed to be effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

The Company’s management, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2020.

During our assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2020 management identified material weaknesses related to (i) the U.S. GAAP expertise and experience of our internal accounting personnel and (ii) a lack of segregation of duties within accounting functions. As a result of these material weaknesses, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of June 30, 2020.

Because of its inherent limitations, however, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

No change in our system of internal control over financial reporting occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Legal Matters

In the ordinary course of operations, the Company may become a party to legal proceedings. Based upon information currently available, management believes that such legal proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, cash flows, or results of operations except as provided below.

CalSTRS Judgement

On March 31, 2014, the Company received a “Notice of Default” letter from legal counsel representing the California State Teachers Retirement System (“CalSTRS”) (the landlord for the Company’s office space) alerting that the Company was in default of its lease for failure to pay monthly rent for the office space located at 2400 East Commercial Boulevard, Suite 612, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33304. The letter demanded immediate payment of $41,937 for rent past due as of April 1, 2014. The Company had indicated in writing its intention to cooperate with the landlord while trying to resolve the matter. On February 11, 2015, the landlord, through its attorneys, filed a motion for summary judgment. The motion asked for $376,424 in unpaid rent, recovery of abated rents and tenant improvements and $12,442 in attorney’s costs incurred by the landlord. On April 22, 2015, the motion for unpaid rent, recovery of abated rents and tenant improvements and attorney’s costs was granted by the Circuit Court of the 17th Judicial Circuit in and for Broward County and the Company has reserved the entire judgement of $388,866. The total amount is accruing interest at the statutory rate of 4.75%.  The accrued interest on the judgement at June 30, 2020 is $95,949.

RAW Materials Litigation

On or about August 28, 2018, Raw Energy Materials Corp. filed an action for declaratory relief and breach of contract in Broward County, Florida, in the 17^th Judicial Circuit Court, titled Raw Energy Materials Corp. v. Rockstar Acquisitions, LLC, Paymeon, Inc. (now Basanite, Inc.), and Basalt America, LLC, CASE NO.: CACE 18-020596.

An Amended Complaint was filed on or about December 19, 2018 adding Basanite Industries, LLC as a defendant, as well as an alleged claim under Florida Statute Section 501.201 and for injunction. 

The Company and all of the defendants in this case are contesting plaintiff's claims vigorously, have filed counterclaims and are considering additional filings against the plaintiff, as well as its affiliated companies and principals, including Don Smith and Elina Jenkins. 

The nature of the dispute is based on representations (or misrepresentations) we allege were made to us and terms of a previously existing licensing agreement, related consulting and other agreements, as well as related sales of equipment/machinery and goods. As it became apparent that the subject license agreement was effectively worthless and moot to the Company, the parties promptly agreed to an order terminating that license agreement, which resulted in the Agreed Order dated January 28, 2019.

The parties continue to litigate damages arising from the dispute.

Depositions of Raw Energy’s principal, Don Smith, and associate, Elina Jenkins, were taken in January of 2020. Discovery is ongoing. We filed a Motion for Summary Judgment pending which had to be withdrawn, as it was based on Raw Energy having previously assigned its license rights and the license agreement to the Global Energy entity. After the Motion was filed, the defendants purported to find documents allegedly assigning the license back to Raw Energy. These documents were never produced before, and never discussed by Don Smith in his deposition. Nevertheless, the documents created a justiciable issue of fact so that our Motion would not have likely been successful at that time.

We are still evaluating and considering claims against Raw Energy affiliates, including Don Smith and Elina Jenkins. These evaluations are largely subject to review of discovery pending. Some documents have been received, some are expected to be received over the next month and some are subject to a resolution of objections. More specifically, the plaintiff's prior counsel, Michael Flam, has advised that he will start producing documents next week and continue to gather and produce same throughout the month of August 2020.

HLM Paymeon Storefront Damage Settlement

On December 15, 2016, a third-party driver drove his car through the Company’s retail storefront located at 2599 N. Federal Highway, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33305.  The accident caused severe damage to the building causing the city of Fort Lauderdale to declare the building an unsafe structure.  The Company was forced to vacate the premises, therefore, terminating the lease.  The damaged storefront and terminated lease effectively terminated the business.  On August 3, 2017, the Company filed a complaint with the Circuit Court of the 17^th Judicial Circuit in and for Broward County, Florida for loss of income, beneficial lease and debt to the sub-landlord.  On February 26, 2020, the Company was able to settle for $125,000 in exchange for a Complete Release for All Claims against all parties named in the case.  The case was taken on a contingency basis by its attorney, therefore, reducing the settlement proceeds by 40% and related expenses.  The Company received $70,817 in net proceeds on March 18, 2020 represented by the gain on settlement of lawsuit.

The interest rate on the note was also increased to 10% per annum. The modifications to the debt was reflected as a material modification in the Company’s quarter ended December 31, 2017. On May 2, 2018, the Company secured a three-year extension of the convertible note in return for (1) a $5,000 per month payment applicable to current interest and principal beginning on April 22, 2018, and (2) the issuance of 274,575 new, restricted common shares. The shares were issued on June 13, 2018. The Company has begun making payments but is not current with payments required by the extension. The modifications to this debt instrument are reflected as a material modification in the Company’s financial statements as of December 31, 2018 in the amount of $90,061 and reflected as a loss on share issuance for extension of debt on the Company’s statement of operations. The Company was current in maintaining the required payments of $5,000 per month during this quarter. As of June 30, 2020, the Company made payments totaling $60,500, applied pro-ratably to principal and interest, thereby reducing the note payable balance to $258,524.  On August 3, 2020, the parties came to an agreement to convert the remaining principal balance of $258,524 and accrued interest of $102,176, at a conversion price of $0.175 per share, for 2,061,143 restricted common shares.  As indicated in our Subsequent Events footnote to our financial statements, this convertible promissory note was converted to restricted common shares on August 3, 2020 and the note is no longer outstanding.
