OVERVIEW
As of the
end of the quarter, September 30, 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 was
established to 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 was to provide a biodiesel production system that is
continuous, flexible, efficient, affordable, and fully-automated. The automated
control system would minimize labor costs and facilitate remote diagnostics.
BSI’s manufacturing facilities were located in Sparks, Nevada, adjacent to the
manufacturing facilities for Renewal Biodiesel. As of April 15, 2008
BSI ceased development operations due to rising input costs and the development
of more efficient means of converting vegetable oil into biodiesel fuel.
Employment agreements for BSI employees have been terminated as of April 15,
2008. The Company sold productive and shop equipment previously used
in BSI operations on July 9, 2008. The Company wrote off $373,868 of
intangibles, goodwill, and remainder of the fixed assets.
RPI is
engaged in the growth of cellulosic feedstock for the biofuels
industry. Through a service agreement with a third 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. A Management Service Agreement between RPI and Emerald Energy,
LLC (“Service Agreement”) was consummated on February 11, 2008, providing for
the completion of the greenhouse installation and operation of the
facility. We are establishing customers for the products to be
produced by RPI. Recently, RPI learned that the root sections
processed and planted by Emerald Energy, LLC in April and May 2008 did not
survive. According to Emerald Energy, LLC, the PH level of the soil
wasn’t proper for the sustained growth of the root sections. RPI has
engaged an independent grower to grow the replaced root
sections. These root sections appear to be growing
normally. RPI and Emerald Energy, LLC are in ongoing discussions
about how to modify their relationship given these developments.
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.
15
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
the shares attributed to Mr. Marks, 200,000 shares are registered in the
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.
16
Acquisition
of Assets of FuelMeister Business
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.
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.

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. 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.
17
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. A Management
Service Agreement between RPI and Emerald Energy, LLC was consummated on
February 11, 2008, providing for the completion of the greenhouse installation
and operation of the facility. Root sections were purchased for
$50,000 in 2008. In April and May of 2008, the root sections did not
survive due to growing circumstances. In August 2008, RPI has
replenished and replanted a number of root sections and has engaged an
independent grower to supervise the conditions and growth of the roots. RPI and
Emerald Energy are in discussions to modify its Management Services Agreement
accordingly.
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.

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 nine months ended
September 30, 2008, we had a net loss of $2,517,339 which included non-cash
items totaling $1,746,948, consisting primarily of depreciation, amortization of
financing fees, convertible debt, and discontinuation of operations. 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 $13,097, which is the purchase of depreciable
assets.
Net cash
provided by financing activities was $257,042 which was provided by proceeds
from note payables from stockholders. We currently do not have sufficient cash
reserves to meet all of our anticipated obligations for the next twelve months
and there can be no assurance that we will ultimately close on the necessary
financing. We currently expect that funding from related parties, third-party
financing, or equity may be a continuing source of liquidity to fund our
operations.
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 nine
months ended September 30, 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.

Disclosure
Controls and Procedures
As
required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of the end
of the period covered by this report, we have carried out an evaluation of the
effectiveness of the design and operation of our company’s disclosure controls
and procedures. Under the direction of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, we evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures and
internal control over financial reporting and concluded that (i) there continue
to be material weaknesses in the Company’s internal controls over financial
reporting, that the weaknesses constitute a “deficiency” and that this
deficiency could result in misstatements of the foregoing accounts and
disclosures that could result in a material misstatement to the consolidated
financial statements for the current period that would not be detected, (ii)
accordingly, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as
of September 30, 2008, and (iii) no change in internal controls over
financial reporting occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2008, that
has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our
internal control over financial reporting; provided, however, that it is to be
noted that, based on the above described material weakness, our management,
including our CEO and CFO have concluded that we did not maintain effective
internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2008.
Disclosure
controls and procedures and other procedures are designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed in our reports or submitted under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported
within the time period specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s
rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation,
controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be
disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is
accumulated and communicated to management including our president and financial
officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.

public accountant and has served as Chief Financial Officer of Titan Global

pharmaceutical manufacturing company from 2000 to 2002 and has held financial

qualified as a CPA and has considerable experience serving as a Chief Financial
Officer, the Company has endeavored to provide the financial leadership that the
Company requires in order to eliminate the weaknesses in its internal controls
over financial reporting and otherwise design, implement and maintain a
sufficient systems of internal financial controls.
Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There
have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during
the quarter ended September 30, 2008, which have materially affected, or are
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
