NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

Organization and Going Concern

Strategic Environmental & Energy Resources, Inc. (“SEER,” or the “Company”), a Nevada corporation, is a provider of next-generation clean-technologies, waste management innovations and related services. SEER has two wholly owned operating subsidiaries and three majority-owned subsidiaries; all of which together provide technology solutions and services to companies primarily in the oil and gas, refining, landfill, food, beverage & agriculture, and renewable fuel industries. The two wholly owned subsidiaries include: 1) MV, LLC (d/b/a MV Technologies) (“MV”), designs and builds biogas conditioning solutions for the production of renewable natural gas, odor control systems and natural gas vapor capture primarily for landfill operations, waste-water treatment facilities, oil and gas fields, refineries, municipalities and food, beverage & agriculture operations throughout the U.S.; 2) Strategic Environmental Materials, LLC, (“SEM”), a materials technology company focused on development of cost-effective chemical absorbents. The Company had a third wholly owned subsidiary, REGS, LLC (d/b/a Resource Environmental Group Services (“REGS”)), which was discarded and abandoned September 1, 2021, and all operations included in discontinued operations (See Note 15).

The two majority-owned subsidiaries include 1) Paragon Waste Solutions, LLC (“PWS”), and 2) PelleChar, LLC (“PelleChar”). PWS is currently owned 54% by SEER and PelleChar is owned 51% by SEER.

PWS has developed specific opportunities to deploy and commercialize patented technologies for a non-thermal plasma-assisted oxidation process that makes possible the clean and efficient destruction of solid hazardous chemical and biological waste (i.e., regulated medical waste, chemicals, pharmaceuticals and refinery tank waste, etc.) without landfilling or traditional incineration and without harmful emissions. Additionally, PWS’ technology “cleans” and conditions emissions and gaseous waste streams (i.e., volatile organic compounds and other greenhouse gases) generated from diverse sources such as refineries, oil fields, and many others.

PelleChar was established in September 2018 and is owned 51% by SEER. Pellechar has secured third-party pellet manufacturing capabilities from one of the nation’s premier pellet manufacturers. Working closely with Biochar Now, LLC, Pellechar commenced sales in late 2019 of its proprietary pellets containing the proven and superior Biochar Now product starting with the landscaping and big agriculture markets. At this time, Pellechar is the only company able to offer a soil amendment pellet containing the Biochar Now product that is produced using the patented pyrolytic process. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, PelleChar activity related to startup of operations that were interrupted by the pandemic in 2020, and a commencement to market its product. Revenue and expenses of PelleChar were not material for the three months then ended.

Principals of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SEER, its wholly owned subsidiaries, SEM, MV and REGS (through September 1, 2021, as discontinued operations), and its majority-owned subsidiaries PWS and PelleChar, since their respective acquisition or formation dates. All material intercompany accounts, transactions, and profits have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company has non-controlling interest in joint ventures, which are reported on the equity method.

Going Concern

As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has experienced recurring losses, and has accumulated a deficit of approximately $29.8 million as of March 31, 2022, and $29.4 million as of December 31, 2021. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company incurred a net loss of approximately $0.4 million and for the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company incurred a net loss of approximately $0.3 million. The Company had a working capital deficit of approximately $7.6 million as of March 31, 2022, and a working capital deficit of $7.5 million as of December 31, 2021. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue to operate as a going concern.

Realization of a major portion of the Company’s assets as of March 31, 2022, is dependent upon continued operations. The Company is dependent on generating additional revenue or obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company raised approximately $0.3 million from the issuance of short-term and long-term debt, offset by payments of principal on short term notes and capital leases of $23,400, for a net cash provided by financing activities of approximately $0.3 million. In addition, the Company has undertaken a number of specific steps to continue to operate as a going concern. The Company continues to focus on developing organic growth in our operating companies and improving gross and net margins through increased attention to pricing, aggressive cost management and overhead reductions, including discontinuing REGS, a line of business with historically insufficient margins. Critical to achieving profitability will be the ability to license and or sell, permit and operate though the Company’s joint ventures and licensees the CoronaLux™ waste destruction units. The Company has limited common shares available for issue which may limit the ability to raise capital or settle debt through issuance of shares. The Company has increased business development efforts to address opportunities identified in expanding markets attributable to increased interest in energy conservation and emission control regulations. In addition, the Company is evaluating various forms of financing which may be available to it. There can be no assurance that the Company will secure additional financing for working capital, increase revenues and achieve the desired result of net income and positive cash flow from operations in future years. These financial statements do not give any effect to any adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be unable to report on a going concern basis.
