2. GOING CONCERN

 

The financial statements have been prepared on a going-concern basis, which contemplates the recoverability of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has suffered recurring operating and cash flow losses related to difficult market conditions and operating performance. The Company was out of compliance with certain debt covenants on October 31, 2020, for which a waiver was obtained from the lender. Subsequent to October 31, 2020, the Company had further instances of noncompliance with debt covenants and has forecasted that it is probable that there will be future instances of noncompliance with debt covenants within the next twelve months. These conditions result in the classification of all debt with the lender as current as of October 31, 2020. The Company has insufficient cash on hand and additional borrowing capacity, and current forecasts indicate insufficient cash flows from operations, to repay the debt if it were to come due as a result of covenant noncompliance. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

 

While the Company believes the replacement of the boiler has improved the operating performance of the plant, and led to lower operating costs, market conditions have resulted in losses. The Company intends to source other capital sources, which may include re-negotiating their debt agreements and terms. At this time, there are no commitments to do so and we may not be successful in doing so.
