AGIG CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Abundia Global Impact Group LLC

 

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Abundia Global Impact Group LLC (the Company) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in members’ equity and cash flows for each of the two years ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB and in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audit provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

Emphasis of Matter - Going Concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company is pre-revenue and has suffered recurring losses from operations, has a net capital deficiency and has a significant financing facility maturing within the next twelve months. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Critical Audit Matter

 

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

 

Valuation for Warrant

 

As described in Notes 8 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has issued a warrant in connection with their convertible debt agreement. The accounting for these financial instruments was identified as a critical audit matter due to the valuation of the warrant involving significant judgment, as it requires the use of the Black-Scholes model, weighted by management’s estimate of the probability of occurrence. The Black-Scholes model relies on several assumptions, including stock price volatility, risk-free interest rates, discount rates, and the expected life of the warrant.

 

How the Matter Was Addressed in the Audit

 

Our audit procedures related to the accounting and valuation of the convertible debt instruments and warrants included the following, among others:

 

We obtained an understanding of the relevant controls over the Company’s process the valuation of the convertible note instrument and warrant.

We involved our valuation specialists to assist in assessing the reasonableness of the assumptions and methodologies used by the Company in valuing the conversion features and warrant, including the use of the Black-Scholes model.

We tested the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used in the valuation models.

We assessed the adequacy of the Company’s disclosures related to the convertible debt instruments and warrant.

We assessed the adequacy of the Company’s disclosures related to the convertible debt instruments and warrants.

 

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2020.

ABUNDIA GLOBAL IMPACT GROUP LLC

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2024 AND 2023

 

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION

 

Abundia Global Impact Group LLC’s (“AGIG’s” or “the Company’s”) business plan is to raise the necessary debt or equity funding to build and operate biomass and plastic recycling plants on a global basis using a combination of proprietary, licensed and commercialized technologies to provide a complete process which turns waste plastics and biomass into drop-in alternatives to fossil derived energy, fuels and chemicals.

 

AGIG’s activities to date have focused on the research and development and fund-raising activities required to implement its business plan.

 

Effective December 9, 2024, AGIG entered into a non-binding LOI to be acquired by Houston American Energy Corp (“HUSA”) subject to due diligence.

 

NOTE 2. GOING CONCERN

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities during the normal course of business. Since inception, the Company has had no revenue generating activities and its only source of income has been grant income of $2,545,783 recognized during the year ended December 31, 2024. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company reported a net loss of $3,621,948, negative working capital of $5,340,035 and an accumulated deficit of $16,671,765.

 

These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments resulting from the outcome of this uncertainty. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to develop additional sources of capital and implement its proposed business plan of building and operating biomass and plastic recycling plants on a profitable basis. The Company intends to rely upon continued financial support from its principal majority shareholder to fund its working capital needs. No assurances can be given that the majority will continue to fund the Company’s working capital needs, the Company will be able to raise the equity and debt required to implement its business plan or that the Company will be successful in building and operating biomass and plastic recycling plants on a profitable basis. As a result, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the consolidated financial statements are available to be issued.

 

NOTE 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in the understanding of the financial statements. These policies conform to GAAP and have been consistently applied.

 

 8 

 

 

Consolidated Financial Statements

 

These consolidated statements include the financial statements of the Company and the following subsidiary companies from the date of their formation or incorporation:

 

Company Name  Country of Formation / Incorporation  Date of Incorporation   Percentage Ownership 
Abundia Biomass LLC  USA   March 26, 2019    100%
Abundia Biomass-to-Liquids Limited  UK   July 10, 2020    77.5%
Abundia Plastics to Liquids LLC  US   September 10, 2021    100%
Abundia Plastics Europe Limited  UK   January 14, 2020    100%
Abundia Global Impact Group (Ireland) Limited  Ireland   February 4, 2022    100%
Abundia Global Impact Group (UK) Limited  UK   May 5, 2023    100%

 

All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include the allowance for estimated credit losses on convertible notes receivable and other financial assets, impairment evaluations of long-lived assets, fair value measurements of warrant liabilities and other financial instruments, and assessments of contingent liabilities.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

The Company has functional currencies in Euros, US Dollars and British Pounds Sterling and its reporting currency is the US Dollar. Management has adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 830-20, “Foreign Currency Matters – Foreign Currency Transactions”. All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. For revenues and expenses, the weighted average exchange rate for the period is used. Gains and losses arising on translation of foreign currency denominated transactions are included in other comprehensive loss.

 

Related Party Transactions

 

A related party is generally defined as (i) any person that holds 10% or more of our membership interests including such person’s immediate families, (ii) our management, (iii) someone that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with us, or (iv) anyone who can significantly influence our financial and operating decisions. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties. See Note 12 below for details of related party transactions during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents:

 

Cash represents cash deposits held at financial institutions. Cash equivalents include short-term highly liquid investments of sufficient credit quality that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and have original maturities of three months or less. Cash equivalents are held for meeting short-term liquidity requirements, rather than for investment purposes. Cash and cash equivalents are held at major financial institutions and are subject to credit risk to the extent they exceed government deposit insurance limits in the country in which they are located. The Company has not experienced any losses to date on depository accounts. 

 

Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets

 

Prepaid expenses and other current assets consist of amounts paid in advance for goods or services to be received in future periods, refundable deposit related to a feasibility study for a potential real estate acquisition, and a receivable from the Irish government for recoverable value-added tax (VAT) incurred on expenses.

 

 9 

 

 

Convertible Promissory Note Receivable and Current Expected Credit Losses

 

As the Company has the intent and ability to hold the convertible note receivable for the foreseeable future, or until maturity or prepayment, the convertible note receivable is reported at its recorded investment, less deferred fundings and any allowance for expected credit losses.

 

The recorded investment of the convertible note receivable includes unpaid principal, accrued interest and fees, net of deferred loan fees or costs and unamortized premium or discount (if any). The recorded investment is reduced by any full or partial charge-offs and by any receipts of interest applied under the cost recovery method of accounting.

 

The Company evaluates its convertible note receivable for expected credit losses in accordance with ASC 326, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses,” and records an allowance for losses based on the current expected credit loss model. The allowance is determined based on an assessment of specific identifiable amounts considered at risk or uncollectible, incorporating estimated forward-looking losses due to potential borrower default and an evaluation of the recoverability of the note.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded a full allowance of $2,942,029 for expected credit losses on its convertible note receivable, as management determined that the future economic benefit from the convertible note receivable was highly uncertain, with no expected future cash flows and no marketability for sale or transfer During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company evaluated the likelihood of expected credit losses on its convertible note receivable and determined that no allowance for expected credit losses was required at that time.

 

See Note 4 below for further details.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount the Company would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. In the absence of such data, fair value is estimated using internal information consistent with what market participants would use in a hypothetical transaction.

 

According to ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” the fair value hierarchy is based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurements requires judgment and may affect the valuation of the assets and liabilities being measured and their placement within the fair value hierarchy. The Company uses appropriate valuation techniques based on available inputs to measure the fair value of its assets and liabilities. The fair value hierarchy is defined in the following three categories:

 

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or inputs that are corroborated by market data.

 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

 

The Company holds certain assets and liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring and non-recurring basis. See Note 9 for further details.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Additions and major replacements or betterments are added to the assets at cost. Maintenance and repair costs and minor replacements are charged to expense when incurred.

 

 10 

 

 

Capitalized Patent Costs:

 

Patent costs, including legal fees associated with the creation of intellectual property and patent registration costs are capitalized as incurred. These costs are amortized over the estimated useful life of the patent commencing from the date the patent has been granted.

 

Deposits on License Agreements:

 

Deposits paid in connection with license agreements that are to be applied against future license fees are capitalized as other assets pending the commencement of fee generating operations under the license agreements. When fee generating operations under the license agreements commence, the deposits will be applied against the balance of fees due and payable. In the event fee generating operations under the license agreements fail to occur, the deposits will be expensed as abortive transaction costs.

 

Other Long-term Assets

 

Fees incurred in respect of proposed real estate acquisitions are capitalized as other long-term assets pending completion of the acquisition. When the acquisition of the real estate is completed, in accordance with ASC 805-50-30-1, the fees are included as part of the acquisition cost of the real estate. In the event the real estate acquisition fails to be completed, the fees are expensed as abandoned transaction costs.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company incurred $5,355 in fees related to its proposed acquisition of certain real estate. Subsequently, during the year ended December 31, 2023, the proposed acquisition of the real estate in question was abandoned and previously capitalized fees totaling $165,843 were expensed in full immediately upon the abandonment of the proposed acquisition in operating expenses as an impairment of capitalized fees on abortive asset acquisition. This impairment is disclosed as impairment of capitalized fees on abortive asset acquisition in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment in accordance with ASC 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment,” whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. These events or changes in circumstances include, but are not limited to, significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results, significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the overall business, significant negative industry or economic trends. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset group to the estimated undiscounted cash flows over the estimated remaining useful life of the primary asset included in the asset group. If the asset group is not recoverable, the impairment loss is calculated as the excess of the carrying value over the fair value.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company determined that a license deposit of $1,000,000 was impaired. The impairment was recognized as management determined that this asset no longer have a future economic benefit. The fair value of the impaired asset was determined to be zero, as there were no expected future cash flows, no alternative use, and no marketability for sale or transfer.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company determined that $165,843 in capitalized fees related to an abandoned asset acquisition costs were impaired. The impairment was recognized as management determined that the asset no longer have a future economic benefit. The fair value of the impaired asset was determined to be zero, as there were no expected future cash flows, no alternative use, and no marketability for sale or transfer.

 

See Note 6 for further details.

 

Derivative Instruments

 

The Company evaluates its convertible promissory note, warrants or other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for in accordance with Topic 480 of the FASB ASC and Topic 815 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the embedded derivative, if required to be bifurcated, is marked-to-market at each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability. The change in fair value is recorded in the consolidated statements of operations as a component of other income or expense. Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to equity.

 

 11 

 

 

In circumstances where the embedded conversion option in a convertible instrument is required to be bifurcated and there are also other embedded derivative instruments in the convertible instrument that are required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments are accounted for as a single, compound derivative instrument.

 

The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification are reclassified to liability at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date. Derivative instrument liabilities will be classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument is expected within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

 

Warrants

 

Warrants are accounted in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40-15-7D. The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in FASB ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own common stock and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.

 

For issued or modified warrants that meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter.

 

The relative fair value of the warrants issued in conjunction with the convertible note have been treated as a debt discount with an offsetting credit to warrant liabilities. The debt discount related to the warrant issuances is being accreted to interest expense over the term of the note.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company is taxed in the US as a partnership for federal and state tax purposes with all tax benefits or liabilities of its operations passing through to its members. Accordingly, the Company itself does not recognize any tax benefits or liabilities in its financial statements in respect of its operations.

 

In accordance with the Company’s operating agreement, to the extent possible, without impairing the Company’s ability to continue to conduct its business and activities, if the Company generates taxable income for its members, the Company is required to distribute an amount equal to the estimated tax liability of its members. As the Company has incurred taxable losses since inception, no distributions have been made to members under this provision.

 

The Company’s subsidiaries are subject to tax and retain all tax benefits or liabilities arising from their operations in the country in which they operate. Accordingly, the Company recognizes any tax benefits or liabilities arising in its subsidiary companies in its consolidated financial statements in respect of their operations.

 

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to operating losses and tax credit carryforwards, as well as the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

A valuation allowance will be provided against deferred tax assets if the Company determines it is more-likely-than-not such assets will not ultimately be realized.

Research and Development

 

In accordance with ASC 730, “Research and Development” the Company expenses third-party research and development consulting costs as incurred. Research and development expenses for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, were $1,651,170 and $839,243, respectively.

 

Deferred Financing Costs

 

The Company capitalizes costs incurred in connection with the establishment of the convertible promissory note and the costs that are related to a recognized liability in the balance sheet are presented as a direct deduction to that liability. These deferred costs are amortized as an adjustment to interest expense over the life of the borrowing or life of the credit facility using the straight-line method of amortization, which approximates the effective interest method. Deferred financing costs could be accelerated, written-off or replaced to the extent the Company’s financing obligations are extinguished, modified or changed in future periods. The Company incurred deferred financing costs of $441,696 at the inception of the convertible promissory note. Amortization expense on deferred financing costs for the was $388,966 for the year ended December 31, 2023 and are included in interest expense on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

 

Grant Income and Government Grant Receivable

 

In the absence of comprehensive recognition and measurement guidance within the scope of authoritative US generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for the government grant that the Company has been awarded, in accordance with guidance in ASC 832 “Government Assistance”, the Company has accounted for the grant it has received from the government by analogy using the terms of IAS 20, Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosures of Government Accounting Assistance. The Company receives funding under a government grant which reimburses the Company for certain qualifying research and development and related expenditures. Grant funding for research and development received under grant agreements where there is no obligation to repay grant funds is recognized as grant income in the period during which the related qualifying expenses are incurred, provided that the grants are fully approved by the granting agencies and the conditions under which the grants were provided have been met. Grant income recognized upon incurring qualifying expenses in advance of receipt of grant funding is recorded in the consolidated balance sheet as government grants receivable.

Effective November 23, 2022, AGIG entered into an agreement to provide $4,000,000 to an unrelated third party (“the Borrower”) by way of convertible promissory note: $2,000,000 million on signature of the agreement and the remaining balance of $2,000,000 on or before January 31, 2023. Accordingly, AGIG made an initial advance of $2,000,000 to Borrower by way of a secured convertible promissory note. The convertible promissory note had a two-year term beginning on November 23, 2022, bore interest at 8% per annum, was secured on the assets of the Borrower and was convertible, at AGIG’s option, into a membership interest in the Borrower. In December 2022, AGIG advanced a further $300,000 under the terms, bringing the total outstanding balance to $2,300,000 as of December 31, 2022. During the year ended December 31, 2023, AGIG advanced a further $200,000, bringing the total principal outstanding to $2,500,000 as of December 31, 2023.

 

Effective November 23, 2024, repayment was due to the Company of $2,500,000 in principal, together with accrued interest of $396,791. No repayment was received from the Borrower and the term of the convertible promissory note was extended to December 31, 2025 and the interest rate was increased from 8% to 15%.

 

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the balance due in respect of the convertible promissory note and accrued interest was $2,942,029 and $2,699,570, respectively.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded a full allowance of $2,942,029 for expected credit losses on its convertible promissory note receivable. Given the Borrower’s failure to repay the principal balance and accrued interest on the scheduled repayment date and availability of further information on the Borrower’s financial position, management determined that any future economic was highly uncertain, with no expected future cash flows and no marketability for sale or transfer.

Effective September 24, 2021, AGIG Plastics to Liquids LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of AGIG, entered into a technology license and service agreement with, an unrelated third party that has developed the technology to transform plastic waste into petrochemical products, which can be further refined into fuels, waxes, and new plastic production. The purpose of the license agreement was to permit AGIG to utilize this technology in its plastics recycling plants. An initial non-refundable deposit of $500,000 was paid in respect of this agreement during the year ended December 31, 2022, which has been capitalized and is creditable against future license fees. A further non-refundable deposit of $500,000 was paid in respect of this agreement during the year ended December 31, 2023, which has also been capitalized and is creditable against future license fees. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the total non-refundable deposit that had been paid in respect of this agreement was $1,000,000. Further ongoing license fees become due and payable indefinitely as plants are built and commissioned.

 

Effective May 11, 2022, AGIG entered into a Services Agreement with a third-party manufacturer. The purpose of the Service Agreement is for the third party to manufacture and sell to AGIG the units required for the pyrolysis process used in our biomass to energy, fuels and chemicals process. At times through the terms of the agreement, the Company may be requested to provide payments at the request of the third party to fund costs associated with the agreement utilizing a cost-plus fixed fee method. These payments are applied to the initial deposit of the Services Agreement. During the year ended December 31, 2023, $240,000 was paid in additional deposits in respect of this agreement. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the total non-refundable deposits that had been paid in respect of this agreement was $1,115,000. The Services Agreement has an indefinite term. In connection with the Services Agreement, the Company entered into a separate License Agreement with the third-party manufacturer. The License Agreement provides the Company a defined number of units of the Licensor’s intellectual property and the proprietary rights know-how to the successful assembly, installation and operation of the units. The effective date of the agreement is the earlier of (i) an event of default, (ii) an intellectual property transfer amongst the parties, and (iii) a force majeure termination. In an event of default, the Company acquires the proprietary, patent-protected, clean energy system if the third-party manufacturer defaults on the Services Agreement for cash considerations.

 

Effective November 23, 2022, AGIG entered into a Development, Collaboration & License Agreement (“DCLA”) agreement with a third-party technology company. Under the term the DCLA, which has an initial term of 3 years, both parties entered into a Joint Development Project with both parties being entitled to license each other’s existing intellectual property. During the year ended December 31, 2022, AGIG paid a $1 million collaboration fee to support the development of the project, which is creditable against future license payments under the terms of DCLA. No further payments were made during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 in respect of this agreement.

 

Effective December 31, 2024, upon assessment of all three license deposits, it was determined with respect to one of the licenses described above, that due to obtaining further information about the effectiveness of the technology of the License in question, the Company now does not intend to use the technology going forward. Accordingly, management determined that this license deposit no longer had any future economic benefit as there were no expected future cash flows, no alternative use, and no marketability for sale or transfer. The Company therefore wrote off $1,000,000 at December 31, 2024 representing the full carrying value of this License. The impairment was recognized in operating expenses as impairment of license deposit in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. It was determined that no impairment was required in respect of the remaining two other license deposits at December 31, 2024.

 

Effective December 31, 2023, the Company performed a similar assessment for all three licenses and at that time determined that no write off was required in respect of any of the licenses.

Effective November 7, 2022, AGIG entered into a $5,000,000 convertible note payable (the “Note”) with an interest rate of 8%. Repayment or conversion of this note into equity securities of AGIG occurs as follows (a) repayment at the Maturity date of November 7, 2023, or (b) at the Lender’s sole option, conversion of the outstanding principal and interest into equity securities of AGIG upon the closing of a private offering of AGIG equity securities (“Next Round Funding”). If the Lender exercises its option to convert the Note into equity securities, the Note is convertible into a variable number of equity securities at the same price paid by investors in the Next Round Funding to satisfy the outstanding Note balance. The Company has the option to extend the maturity date of the Note by 12 months with the mutual consent of the Lender.

 

At maturity, the term of the Note was extended for 3 months to February 7, 2024. Subsequent to December 31, 2023, the term of the Note was further extended to May 7, 2024 and subsequently to May 1, 2025.

 

As part of the funding agreement, AGIG undertook that, in the event that AGIG closed a future private offering of equity securities or securities convertible into equity securities (“Next Round Funding”), AGIG would issue a warrant with a term of 5 years to the Lender to purchase $5,000,000 worth of the securities issued in the Next Round Financing with an exercise price equivalent to 80% of the price paid by investors in the Next Round Financing.

 

As discussed further in Note 8 Warrant Liabilities below, the issued warrants were determined to have a fair value of $1,866,243. The $1,866,243 estimated value of the potential issuance of a future warrant, has been accounted for a debt issuance cost and amortized over the initial one-year term of the Note using the effective interest method.

 

During the years ended, December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company incurred interest expense, including the amortization of debt discount costs, of $401,096 and $2,399,430, respectively, in respect of this Note.

 

NOTE 8: WARRANT LIABILITIES

 

As discussed in Note 7 Convertible Note Payable above, effective November 7, 2022, AGIG entered into a $5,000,000 convertible promissory note. As part of the funding agreement AGIG undertook that, in the event that AGIG closed a private offering of equity securities or securities convertible into equity securities (“Next Round Funding”), AGIG would issue a warrant with a term of 5 years to the Lender to purchase $5,000,000 worth of the securities issued in the Next Round Financing with an exercise price equivalent to 80% of the price paid by investors in the Next Round Financing.

 

The Company evaluated the warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the specific terms of the warrants and applicable authoritative guidance from ASC 480 and ASC 815-40. The Company determined the warrants failed the indexation guidance under ASC 815-40, as they contain provisions that provide note holders with rights to a variable number of shares based on future financing terms. Specifically, should the Company undertake a private equity offering before the maturity date, the note holder will receive equity warrants to purchase securities issued in the Next Round Financing at an aggregate value of $5,000,000, with an exercise price equal to 80% of the price paid by investors in the offering. This embedded feature represents a deemed redemption feature due to the substantial premium received by the note holder. As a result, the Company concluded that the redemption feature require bifurcation from the convertible note and subsequent accounting as a freestanding warrant liability in accordance with ASC 815-40. The warrants had a fair value of $1,866,243 on issuance and were classified as liabilities with a corresponding decrease to the Note outstanding balance of $5,000,000 as a discount resulting in Debt Net of Discount Balance of $3,133,757. This discount was accreted over the initial one-year term of the Note as interest expense to par using the effective interest method as noted above. The effective interest rate was 42.10%. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the debt discount arising on the issuance of the warrants had been fully amortized.

 

Accordingly, pursuant to ASC 815-40, the Company recorded the fair value of the warrants as a liability upon issuance and marked to market each reporting period in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations until their exercise or expiration.

The estimated fair value of the warrants was calculated using the Black Scholes model with the assumptions set out below, weighted for management’s estimate of the probability of a Next Round Financing being completed and discounted back to the valuation date using estimated venture capital rates of return.

AGIG Plastics to Liquids LLC

 

Effective September 24, 2021, AGIG Plastics to Liquids LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of AGIG, entered into a technology license and services agreement with a third-party technology provider. As part of the agreement, AGIG Plastics to Liquids LLC issued a warrant to the licensor to acquire the number of membership units in AGIG Plastics to Liquids LLC equivalent to 1.5% of its fully diluted capitalization. The warrant has an exercise price of $0.01 per membership unit, a term of 10 years and is exercisable in the event of a change of control or public listing of AGIG Plastics to Liquids LLC or its parent.

 

The Company evaluated the warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the specific terms of the warrants and applicable authoritative guidance from ASC 480 and ASC 815-40. The Company determined the warrants failed the indexation guidance under ASC 815-40, as they contain provisions that provide note holders with rights to a variable number of shares. Accordingly, pursuant to ASC 815-40, the Company recorded the fair value of the warrants as a liability upon issuance and marked to market each reporting period in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations until their exercise or expiration. However, no fair value has been assigned to these warrants as AGIG Plastics to Liquids LLC has no equity, no planned operations, and consequently only nominal projected value.

 

The remaining outstanding term of the warrants was 6.7 years and 7.7 years at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
