Business and Organization
 
Description of Business
 
 
BioLargo, Inc. is an innovative technology developer and environmental engineering company driven by a mission to "make life better" by delivering robust, sustainable solutions for a broad range of industries and applications, with a focus on clean water, clean air. The company also owns a minority interest in an advanced wound care subsidiary that has licensed BioLargo Technologies and it plans to spin out or sell when the appropriate opportunity is identified.  Our business strategy is straightforward: we invent or acquire technologies that we believe have the potential to be disruptive in large commercial markets; we develop and validate these technologies to advance and promote their commercial success as we leverage our considerable scientific, engineering, and entrepreneurial talent; we then monetize these technical assets through a variety of business structures that
may
include licensure, joint venture, sale, spin off, or by deploying direct to market strategies.
 
Liquidity / Going concern
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of our business. For the
three
months ended
March 31, 2020,
we had a net loss of
$2,616,000,
used
$753,000
cash in operations, and at
March 31, 2020,
we had a working capital deficit of
$3,651,000,
and current assets of
$1,080,000.
We do
not
believe gross profits in the immediate future will be sufficient to fund our current level of operations or pay the
$550,000
in debt due
August, 2020
which is convertible at the option of the debt-holder. We have been, and anticipate that we will continue to be, limited in terms of our capital resources. During the
three
months ended
March 31, 2020,
we generated revenues of
$439,000
through
two
 business segments (Odor-
No
-More and BLEST – see Note
10,
“Business Segment Information”). Neither generated enough revenues to fund their operations, or fund our corporate operations, overhead or other business segments, and thus, in light of our cash position at
December 31, 2019,
in order to continue operations, during the quarter we conducted private securities offerings and sold common stock to Lincoln Park (see Note
3
). With respect to the debt due
August 2020,
we intend to pay the debt through proceeds from our various financing resources, convert the remaining balance to equity, or renegotiate the terms; the remainder of debt due in
2020
is convertible at our option at maturity.
 
On
March 30, 2020,
we entered into a new
three
-year agreement with Lincoln Park (see Note
3
), which allows us to sell to Lincoln Park up to
100,000
shares of our common stock per day, up to a maximum of
$10,250,000.
We intend to continue to sell stock to Lincoln Park to provide working capital as needed. We also intend to raise money through private securities offerings. And, we continue to negotiate for more financing from private investors. Other than sales of stock to Lincoln Park,
no
assurance can be made of our success at raising money through private or public offerings.
 
The foregoing factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Ultimately, our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to attract significant new sources of capital, attain a reasonable threshold of operating efficiencies and achieve profitable operations by licensing or otherwise commercializing products incorporating our technologies. The consolidated financial statements do
not
include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.
 
Organization
 
We are a Delaware corporation formed in
1991.
We have
four
wholly-owned subsidiaries: BioLargo Life Technologies, Inc., organized under the laws of the State of California in
2006;
Odor-
No
-More, Inc., organized under the laws of the State of California in
2009;
BioLargo Water Investment Group Inc. organized under the laws of the State of California in
2019,
which wholly owns BioLargo Water, Inc., organized under the laws of Canada in
2014;
and BioLargo Development Corp., organized under the laws of the State of California in
2016.
Additionally, we own
97.5%
(see Note
10
) of BioLargo Engineering Science and Technologies, LLC, organized under the laws of the State of Tennessee in
2017
(“BLEST”). We also own
36%
of Clyra Medical Technologies, Inc. (“Clyra Medical”), organized under the laws of the State of California in
2012,
and consolidate their financial statements (see Note
2,
subheading “Principles of Consolidation,” and Note
8
).
 
The unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and pursuant to Rule
8
-
03
of Regulation S-
X
under the Securities Act of
1933,
as amended. Accordingly, they do
not
include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. For some of our activities, we are still operating in the early stages of the sales and distribution process, and therefore our operating results for the
three
months ended
March 31, 2020
are
not
necessarily indicative of the results that
may
be expected for the year ending
December 
31,
 
2020,
or for any other period. These unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Annual Report on Form
10
-K for the year ended
December 31, 2019
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on
March 31, 2020.
