OVERVIEW
As of the
end of the quarter, March 31, 2008, Renewal Fuels, Inc. (“Renewal”) had three
wholly-owned subsidiaries - Renewal Biodiesel, Inc. (“Renewal Biodiesel”),
Biodiesel Solutions, Inc. (“BSI”), and Renewal Plantations, Inc
(“RPI”).
Renewal
Biodiesel was incorporated in the state of Delaware on March 9, 2007 and
acquired the business, fixed assets and inventory of the FuelMeister business of
BSI, effective March 30, 2007. Renewal Biodiesel is engaged in the business of
designing, developing, manufacturing and marketing personal biodiesel processing
equipment and accessories to convert used and fresh vegetable oil into
clean-burning biodiesel. Renewal Biodiesel’s products allow customers to make
biodiesel fuel, which is capable of powering all diesel fuel engines, for a
current cost of approximately 70 cents per gallon. Renewal Biodiesel has
developed a network of dealers in the United States for sale and distribution of
its products. Renewal Biodiesel’s manufacturing facilities are currently located
in Sparks, Nevada.
BSI is
developing and will manufacture a factory-built biodiesel processing plant that
is designed to produce 350,000 gallons of biodiesel per year, appropriately
scaled for a variety of customers, including small communities, farms, farm
co-ops and trucking fleets. The design will provide a biodiesel production
system that is continuous, flexible, efficient, affordable, and fully-automated.
The automated control system will minimize labor costs and facilitates remote
diagnostics. BSI’s manufacturing facilities are currently located in Sparks,
Nevada, adjacent to the manufacturing facilities for Renewal
Biodiesel.
18
RPI is
engaged in the growth of cellulosic feedstock for the biofuels
industry. Through a service agreement with another party, we are
establishing nurseries for the growth of unique high density, short-rotation
trees, which are designed to provide a very high concentration of biomass per
acre. We are currently completing installation of the nurseries and
establishing customers for the products to be produced by RPI.
HISTORY
Reorganization
of Tech Laboratories, Inc. and Reverse Merger with Renewal Biodiesel,
Inc.
On April
20, 2007, Tech Laboratories, Inc. entered into a Merger Agreement with Renewal
Biodiesel, a Delaware corporation formed in 2007 for the purposes of the asset
acquisition of the FuelMeister Business described below. Under the terms of the
agreement, we acquired 100% of the common stock of Renewal Biodiesel in exchange
for the issuance by us of 343,610 shares of our series A convertible preferred
stock, which was subsequently converted into 22,907,323 common shares. The
officers and directors of Renewal Biodiesel assumed similar positions with us.
Although we were the legal acquirer, Renewal Biodiesel was considered the
accounting acquirer and as such the acquisition was accounted for as a reverse
merger and recapitalization. As a result, the accompanying consolidated
financial statements represent the results of operations and cash flows of the
accounting acquirer (Renewal Biodiesel) from the date of its inception on March
9, 2007. Immediately prior to the reorganization, we had 673,356 shares of
common stock outstanding and net liabilities of $1,677,020, consisting of the
following, at fair value:
Net
liabilities assumed:
Accounts
payable
$
203,992
Long
term debt, including accrued interest
1,473,028
Net
liabilities assumed
$
1,677,020
The net
liabilities assumed primarily represent debt obligations to YA Global
Investments, L.P. (“YA Global”) and were assumed in connection with the
provision of additional long-term debt financing provided by YA Global (see Note
7 in our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in this
Report), which additional funding was provided simultaneously with the reverse
merger and recapitalization. Accordingly, the net liabilities assumed were
recorded as deferred financing costs incurred in connection with the additional
debt funding provided by YA Global and are being amortized by periodic charges
to income on a straight-line basis over the life of that debt funding. In
addition, the Company paid $180,000 in fees in connection with the additional
debt funding provided by YA Global.
Tech
Laboratories had no active business operations immediately prior to the merger.
Mr. John King, former Chief Executive Officer and Mr. David Marks, Chairman were
officers and directors and were minority shareholders of Renewal
Biodiesel.
Immediately
prior to the reorganization, Renewal Biodiesel issued an aggregate of 5,727,979
shares of its common stock to 23 accredited investors for an aggregate
consideration of $57,279. Under the terms of the agreement, we acquired 100% of
the 5,727,979 shares of common stock of Renewal Biodiesel in exchange for the
issuance by us of 343,610 shares of series A preferred stock, which were
subsequently converted into 23,907,323 common shares (approximately 97% of the
outstanding common shares immediately after the reorganization). The average
share price paid for the 5,727,979 shares of Renewal Biodiesel exchanged for our
common shares was $0.01. Current officers, directors and principal stockholders
of ours, who beneficially own in the aggregate approximately 80% of our
outstanding common stock, owned the following aggregate shares of common stock
of Renewal Biodiesel:

name of the Irrevocable Children’s Trust of which Mr. Marks is a trustee
and 200,000 are registered in the name of Phoenix Investors, LLC of which
Mr. Marks is Managing Director.
Although
we were the legal acquirer, Renewal Biodiesel was considered the accounting
acquirer and as such the acquisition was accounted for as a reverse merger and
recapitalization. The officers and directors of Renewal Biodiesel assumed
similar positions with us. As a result, the accompanying consolidated financial
statements represent the results of operations and cash flows of the accounting
acquirer (Renewal Biodiesel) from the date of its inception on March 9,
2007.
The fair
value of the common stock issued to the shareholders of Renewal Biodiesel was
estimated to be $0.2265 per share, based on the trading price of our common
stock immediately prior to the reorganization and reverse merger. The difference
between the fair value of the shares issued and the amount paid by the
shareholders of Renewal Biodiesel for their shares resulted in an immediate
expense of $5,131,231.
On July
9, 2007, the Company, which was a New Jersey entity (“Tech Labs-NJ”), entered
into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Tech Laboratories, Inc., a
Delaware entity (“Tech Labs - DE”) under which Tech Labs - NJ and Tech Labs - DE
were merged with and into the surviving corporation, Tech Labs - DE, whose name
was subsequently changed on August 1, 2007 to Renewal Fuels, Inc. The
certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the surviving corporation became the
certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Company, and the directors and
officers in office of the surviving corporation became the directors and
officers of the Company.
On July
10, 2007, the majority stockholders of the Company authorized a 1-for-15 reverse
stock split which was effective on August 1, 2007. As a result, the shares
of common stock of the Company (the "Old Shares") that were outstanding at July
31, 2007 automatically converted into 23,805,126 shares of common stock
(the "New Shares"). All common share and per share amounts in our financial
statements have been retroactively restated to reflect this reverse stock split.
The New Shares issued pursuant to the reverse stock split are fully paid and
non-assessable. All New Shares have the same par value, voting rights and other
rights as the Old Shares. Stockholders of the Company do not have preemptive
rights to acquire additional shares of common stock which may be issued. Also on
August 1, 2007, the Company changed its name from Tech Laboratories, Inc. to
Renewal Fuels, Inc. and the Company’s quotation symbol on the OTC Bulletin Board
was changed from TLBT to RNWF.
Acquisition
of Assets of FuelMeister Business and BSI
On March
9, 2007, Crivello Group, LLC (“Crivello”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary,
Renewal Biodiesel, entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Biodiesel
Solutions, Inc. (“BSI”), which was effective March 30, 2007. Pursuant to the
Asset Purchase Agreement, BSI sold substantially all of the assets and property
of its FuelMeister operations (the “FuelMeister Business” , the “Predecessor” or
the “Predecessor Business”, an unrelated Company) to Renewal Biodiesel, in
exchange for an aggregate purchase price of $500,000, subject to adjustment.
Under the terms of the Agreement, the purchase price was subsequently adjusted
to $494,426 to reflect the inventory on hand at closing. Of the adjusted
purchase price, $100,000 was paid on execution of the Agreement as a down
payment, $100,000 was paid at closing, $50,000 was paid on April 11, 2007, and
the balance of the purchase price was paid by delivery of a promissory note, as
amended, in the amount of $244,426. The promissory note was subsequently paid on
April 20, 2007. The $250,000 cash portion of the $494,426 purchase price of the
assets was funded by loans received from Crivello of $200,000 and cash of
$57,279 received by Renewal Biodiesel from our founders for common stock. The
loans from Crivello, together with the promissory note for $244,426, were repaid
from the proceeds of loans from YA Global (see Note 7 in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements). The difference of $5,131,231 between the
fair value of the 22,907,323 common shares issued to our founders as a result of
the reverse merger described above, determined based on the trading price of
$0.2265 per share immediately prior to the reorganization and reverse merger,
and the amount they paid for their shares of Renewal Biodiesel of $57,279 has
been recorded as stock-based transaction expense.
Renewal
Biodiesel also entered into a management services agreement with BSI, pursuant
to which BSI agreed to provide general management and administrative services to
Renewal Biodiesel, as well as the use of its facilities. Renewal Biodiesel
reimbursed BSI for the direct cost of services and facilities, as provided. The
agreement terminated 90 days after the FuelMeister acquisition or upon ten days
notice by Renewal Biodiesel. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements,
we acquired BSI on July 2, 2007, which effectively resulted in termination of
the agreement.
The
acquisition of the FuelMeister Business was accounted for by the purchase method
in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 141 ("FAS
141") and the results of its operations are included in these consolidated
financial statements from the date of acquisition. The aggregate purchase price
determined in accordance with FAS 141 was $494,426.

On July
2, 2007, we entered into a merger agreement with BSI, as a result of which we
acquired the remainder of BSI's business (i.e., other than the FuelMeister
Business acquired previously). BSI is engaged in the business of designing,
manufacturing and marketing processing equipment and accessories, including
personal biodiesel processors and “community scale” biodiesel processor systems,
which convert fresh and used vegetable oils into clean burning biodiesel fuel.
It complements and optimizes Renewal’s ability to design, develop, manufacture
and market both personal and community scale biodiesel processing equipment and
accessories.
As
consideration for the acquisition of BSI, we issued an aggregate of 3,333,333
shares of common stock, 1,000,000 new Series B preferred shares of BSI,
initially convertible into 1,333,333 shares of our common stock, options to
purchase 96,400 shares of our common stock and $500,000 in cash. The BSI
Preferred Stock is immediately convertible at the option of the holders into
common stock of the Company at a conversion price equal to the greater of (i)
$0.75, or (ii) the average closing price of the common stock during the ten
trading days immediately preceding the conversion date. Prior to the acquisition
of BSI, the Company loaned $200,000 to BSI under an 8% 180 day secured
promissory note, due November 24, 2007. Upon the acquisition of BSI, the note
receivable was reclassified as an investment to BSI.
Also on
July 2, 2007, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with YA Global
providing for the sale to YA Global of secured convertible debentures in the
aggregate principal amount of $2,700,000, of which $2,000,000 was advanced
immediately. The second installment of $700,000 will be funded within two
business days after the Company has unconditionally booked and received at least
a 50% deposit for the sale of at least one BiodieselMaster® unit. We also issued
to YA Global five-year warrants to purchase 2,250,000 shares of our common stock
at $0.90 per share. The Debentures bear interest at the prime rate plus 2.75%
(but not less than 10%) and mature two years from the date of issuance (the
"Maturity Date"). The Company is not required to make any payments until the
Maturity Date. The holder of the Debentures may convert at any time amounts
outstanding into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price per share equal to
the lesser of (i) $0.05, or (ii) 80% of the lowest closing bid price of the
Common Stock during the ten trading days immediately preceding the conversion
date.
The
aggregate purchase price for the BSI acquisition was determined based on the
fair value of the consideration issued, which consisted of common stock,
preferred shares of BSI convertible into our common stock, options to purchase
our common stock and cash, as follows:
3,333,333

The
purchase price was allocated to BSI’s net tangible and intangible assets based
on their estimated fair values as of the date of the completion of the
acquisition and based on a report by an independent, reputable appraiser in
accordance with the professional standards of the American Society of Appraisers
and the Institute of Business Appraisers. The amount allocated to purchased “in
process research and development costs” was valued at fair value using a debt
free cash flow method. As required by current accounting literature, these costs
are immediately expensed in the current period’s income statement. The

Business
As
described above, under the terms of the Renewal Merger Agreement, we acquired
100% of the common stock of Renewal Biodiesel in exchange for the issuance by us
of 22,907,323 common shares. Although we were the legal acquirer, Renewal
Biodiesel was considered to be the accounting acquirer and, as such, the
acquisition was accounted for as a reverse merger and recapitalization. As a
result, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements represent
the results of operations and cash flows of the accounting acquirer and
Successor (Renewal Fuels) for the period ending March 31, 2008. The FuelMeister
Business acquired by Renewal Fuels constitutes our Predecessor business. The
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, as of March 31, 2008
and for the period March 9, 2007 (date of inception) through March 31, 2007, are
those of the Successor. The statements of operations for the three months ended
March 31, 2007, and the statements of cash flows for the three months ended
March 31, 2007 are those of our Predecessor, the FuelMeister
Business.

BUSINESS STRATEGY, CORE
PHILOSOPHIES, CURRENT OPERATIONS
Renewal
Fuels is dedicated to technologies that enable the production of high quality
fuels from a variety of non-food feedstock sources and waste streams. We believe
that developed and emerging technologies to produce fuels from waste will
provide an important alternative to feedstock sources which compete with uses
for food.
Renewal
Fuels’ business model includes strategic partnerships and acquisitions in the
expanding biofuels industry. Increasing political and social responsiveness,
combined with exciting developments in biofuel technology, has created an
unprecedented environment for organic growth as well as growth through
acquisitions. Our focused business model is designed to facilitate high profit
margins and security of feedstock pricing.
The
management of Renewal Fuels is establishing relationships with multiple biofuel
entities with projects, products, and technologies at various stages of
development, fitting the Company’s mission. The company is currently seeking
additional technologies and businesses to add to its portfolio, which currently
includes the businesses described below.
Renewal
manufactures and markets the FuelMeister® line of personal biodiesel processors
from its facility in Sparks, NV. The FuelMeister allows a user to make biodiesel
from waste vegetable oil, for personal use. The FuelMeister line of biodiesel
processors are produced from industrial-grade materials. In general, it takes
approximately 1/2 hour hands-on time per batch of biodiesel fuel production. The
products offered are not do-it-yourself kits, but complete systems with all key
components needed to make biodiesel ‘at home’ with ease and
confidence.
FuelMeister
biodiesel processors are supplied with a user safety kit, oil titration and
field test kit, high quality steel methanol pump, and easy prime oil draw tube.
Quick disconnect fittings allow for future expansion and more convenient
connection of tanks. If capacity needs change, additional modular tanks, lids,
and accessories can be added to the FuelMeister II platform. A customer can
start making biodiesel the same day the system arrives. All that is required is
a barrel of used fryer oil (typically collected at no charge from local
restaurants), lye (at a typical cost of 20¢/gallon of biodiesel), a barrel of
racing methanol (at a typical cost of 50¢ /gallon of biodiesel), a barrel for
the finished biodiesel, AC power, and a water hose. Renewal’s products are
designed specifically to allow shipment by UPS in order to minimize customers’
freight expenses. This design was accomplished during an extensive upgrade to
the product’s specifications in 2006. Any machines operating on diesel fuel,
including cars, trucks, generators, tractors, furnaces, etc. may be powered with
the biodiesel produced with the FuelMeister II biodiesel production
system.
BSI,
which was acquired on July 2, 2007, manufactures a complementary product to
FuelMeister called BiodieselMaster®. This product is a factory-built biodiesel
processing plant that is appropriately scaled for a variety of customers,
including small communities, farms, farm co-ops and trucking fleets. The
BiodieselMaster® is a community-scale biodiesel processing unit that is designed
to produce 350,000 gallons of biodiesel per year. The design provides a
biodiesel production system that is continuous, flexible, efficient, affordable,
and fully-automated. The automated control system minimizes labor costs and
facilitates remote diagnostics.
RPI is
engaged in the growth of cellulosic feedstock for the biofuels
industry. Through a service agreement with another party, we are
establishing nurseries for the growth of unique high density, short-rotation
trees, which are designed to provide a very high concentration of biomass per
acre. We are currently completing installation of the nurseries and
establishing customers for the products to be produced by RPI.
RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
Although
the revenue generating activities of the FuelMeister Business, the Predecessor
business, remained significantly intact after the acquisition, there have been
changes in our marketing strategy, administrative costs (including those
expenses related to public equity market participation) and financing
activities. As a result, we believe that the expenses of the Predecessor
business are not representative of our current business, financial condition or
results of operations. Accordingly, where practicable we have included various
forward looking statements regarding the effects of our new operating
structure.

$119,295 or 34.5% of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and
increased compared with the Predecessor’s three months ended March 31, 2007 due
to increased costs associated with SEC compliance and related
matters.

Predecessor’s three months ended March 31, 2007 due to additional costs
associated with the Fuelmeister and BiodieselMaster® products.
23
Amortization
of Intangible Assets
Amortization
of intangible assets was $105,056 or 30.4% of revenue for the three months ended
March 31, 2008, primarily due to the amortization of assets acquired in the
acquisition of BSI and Fuelmeister.
Net
Financial (Income) Expense
Net
financial (income) expense, consisting primarily of interest expense of $295,668
and other income of $109, amounted to a net expense of $295,559 for the three
months ended March 31 2008, and increased compared with the Predecessor’s three
months ended March 31, 2007, due to the interest and debt discount associated
with our convertible debenture obligations.

Loss
As a
result of the above, we reported a net loss of $848,197 for the three months
ended March 31, 2008.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL
RESOURCES
Cash
and Cash Flows From Operations:
The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared
assuming we will continue as a going concern. During the three months ended
March 31, 2008, we had a net loss of $848,197 which included non-cash items
totaling $411,498, consisting primarily of depreciation, amortization of
financing fees, convertible debt, and intangible assets. Our existence is
dependent on management’s ability to develop profitable operations and
successful integration of our acquired businesses.
Net cash
used in investing activities was $884, which is the purchase of depreciable
assets.
Net cash
provided by financing activities was $39,541 which was provided by proceeds from
note payables from stockholders.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET
ARRANGEMENTS
We
currently have no off balance sheet arrangements, other than the property leases
described in the footnotes to the financial statements.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
Going
Concern
Our
ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to obtain
additional funds through debt and equity funding as well as increasing
sales of biodiesel units. With these sales the Company anticipates that it will
become less reliant on short-term financing.
Concentrations
of Credit Risk
The
Company has several customers that accounted for the total revenue for the three
months ended March 31, 2008.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company recognizes sales when earned. At the time of the transaction,
the Company assesses payment terms associated with the transaction and whether
collectibility is reasonably assured. If a significant portion of a
fee is due after the normal payment terms, the Company accounts for the fee as
not being fixed and determinable. In these cases, the Company
recognizes revenue as the fees become due. Where the Company provides
a sale at a specific point in time and there are no remaining obligations, the
Company recognizes revenue upon completion of the sale.
