NOTE B — BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND LIQUIDITY

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. During the year ended December 31, 2019 and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company incurred losses from operations applicable to its common stockholders of $4.9 million and $3.40 million, respectively, and has an accumulated deficit applicable to its common stockholders of $54 million, at June 30, 2020.

 

On May 4, 2020, a group of lenders agreed to provide a $300 million senior secured term loan facility to BKRF OCB, LLC, one of Global Clean Energy Holdings, Inc.’s subsidiaries, to enable that subsidiary to acquire the equity interests of Bakersfield Renewable Fuels, LLC and to pay the anticipated costs of the retooling of the Bakersfield Biorefinery owned by Bakersfield Renewable Fuels, LLC. Concurrently with the foregoing senior credit facility, a group of mezzanine lenders also agreed to provide a $65 million secured term loan facility to be used to pay the costs of repurposing and starting up the Bakersfield biorefinery. Although the funds provided by the senior and mezzanine lenders may only be used for the Bakersfield Biorefinery and servicing these debt obligations, since the Company shares facilities and personnel, Global Clean Energy Holdings, Inc. will realize a reduction in certain of its operating expenses. The Company believes that these cost savings, plus the Company’s other financial resources should be sufficient to fund the Company’s operations through the start-up of the Bakersfield Biorefinery. See “Note E - Debt.” On October 12, 2020 the group of lenders agreed to lend up to an additional $15 million for the Bakersfield Biorefinery and a portion to the upstream Camelina business. See, “Note J - Subsequent Events.”

 

In April of 2019, the Company executed a binding Product Offtake Agreement (the “Offtake Agreement”) with ExxonMobil Oil Corporation (“Purchaser”) pursuant to which Purchaser has committed to purchase a minimum of 85 million gallons per year of renewable diesel annually from the Bakersfield Biorefinery (with a right to purchase higher volumes as available), and the Company has committed to sell these quantities of renewable diesel to Purchaser. Purchaser’s obligation to purchase renewable diesel will last for a period of five years following the date that the Bakersfield Biorefinery commences commercial operations. Purchaser has the option to extend the initial five-year term. Either party may terminate the Offtake Agreement if the Bakersfield Biorefinery does not meet certain production levels by certain milestone dates following the commencement of the Bakersfield Biorefinery’s operations.
