NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

 

Organization

 

Strategic Environmental & Energy Resources, Inc. (“SEER,” “we,” or the “Company”), a Nevada corporation, is a provider of next-generation clean-technologies, waste management innovations and related services. SEER has three wholly-owned operating subsidiaries and two 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 three wholly-owned subsidiaries include: 1) REGS, LLC (d/b/a Resource Environmental Group Services (“REGS”)) provides industrial and proprietary cleaning services to refineries, oil fields and other private and governmental entities; 2) Tactical Cleaning Company, LLC (“Tactical”), provides proprietary cleaning services related to railcar tankers, tank trucks and frac tanks to customers from its sites in Colorado and Kansas; 3) 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.

 

The two majority-owned subsidiaries include; 1) Paragon Waste Solutions, LLC (“PWS”) and 2) ReaCH4Biogas (“Reach”).  PWS is currently owned 54% by SEER (see Note 7) and Reach is owned 85% by SEER.

 

PWS is developing 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.

 

Reach (the trade name for BeneFuels, LLC), is currently owned 85% by SEER and focuses specifically on treating biogas for conversion to pipeline quality gas and/or compressed natural gas (“CNG”) for fleet vehicle fuel.  Reach had no operations as of December 31, 2013 and had minimal operations for the year ended December 31, 2014.

 

Principals of Consolidation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SEER, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, REGS, TCC and MV and its majority-owned subsidiaries PWS and Reach, since their respective acquisition or formation dates. All material intercompany accounts, transactions, and profits have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Basis of Presentation - Liquidity

 

As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has experienced recurring losses, and has accumulated a deficit of approximately $12.5 million as of December 31, 2014, and $12.2 million as of December 31, 2013.  For the years ended December 31, 2014, and 2013, we incurred net losses of approximately $726,000 and $858,000, respectively. The Company had a working capital deficit of approximately $1,407,000 at December 31, 2014.

 

Realization of a major portion of our assets as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 is dependent upon our continued operations.  Accordingly, we have undertaken a number of specific steps to continue to improve the profitability of our operations.   For the year ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, we had net proceeds of approximately $1.5 million and $3.8 million, respectively, through the sale of common stock and the exercise of common stock warrants. We have focused our efforts on developing organic growth in our operating companies and improving gross and net margins through increased attention to pricing, cost management and overhead reductions.  We made additions to our senior management team to support these initiatives, and focused on streamlining our business model to improve profitability.  There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve the desired result of net income and positive cash flow from operations in future years. Management believes that current operating cash flows and proceeds from CoronaLux placement fees will be sufficient to allow the Company to maintain its operations through December 31, 2015 and into the foreseeable future.
