NOTES
TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE
1 – ORGANIZATION
Blue
Biofuels, Inc., was incorporated in Nevada on March 28, 2012, as Alliance Media Group Holdings, Inc. Since December 2013, Blue Biofuels,
Inc. (the “Company”) has been a technology company focused on emerging technologies in renewable energy, biofuels, and lignin.
NOTE
2 – GOING CONCERN
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which
contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern, which assumes the Company will realize its assets and discharge its liabilities
in the normal course of business. The Company has not generated any significant revenue since inception and has incurred losses since
inception. As of June 30, 2024, the Company has incurred accumulated losses of $ 57,332,475 . The Company expects to incur significant
additional losses and liabilities in connection with its start-up and commercialization activities. These factors, among others, raise
substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities when they become
due and to generate sufficient revenues from its operations to pay its operating expenses. These factors, among others, raise substantial
doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments related
to the recoverability and classifications of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classifications of liabilities that might result
from this uncertainty. There are no assurances that the Company will continue as a going concern.
Management
believes that the Company’s future success is dependent upon its ability to achieve profitable operations, generate cash from operating
activities, and obtain additional financing. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to generate sufficient cash from operations,
or sell additional shares of stock or borrow additional funds. The Company’s inability to obtain additional cash could have a material
adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations, and its ability to continue in existence. These financial statements
do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
NOTE
3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis
of Presentation
The
condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
(“GAAP”). The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures required of annual consolidated
financial statements and, accordingly, should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in
our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.
8
Operating
results for the six months ended June 30, 2024, may not be indicative of full year 2024 results.
In
management’s opinion, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary for a fair
statement of our financial position as of June 30, 2024, and our results of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit and cash
flows for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.
Stock
Based Compensation
The
Company recognizes the cost of all share-based payments under the relevant authoritative accounting guidance. Share-based payments include
any remuneration paid by the Company in shares of the Company’s common stock or financial instruments that grant the recipient
the right to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock. For share-based payments to employees, which consist only of awards
made under the stock option plan described below, the Company accounts for the payments in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic
718, “Stock Compensation”. Share-based payments to consultants, service providers and other non-employees are accounted for
in accordance with ASC Topic 718. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur.
Stock-based compensation resulting from the issuance
of common stock is calculated by reference to the valuation of the stock on the date of issuance, the expense being recognized as the
compensation is earned. Stock-based compensation expenses related to employee options and warrants granted to non-employees are recognized
as the stock options and warrants are earned. The fair value of the stock options or warrants granted is estimated at the grant date,
using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, and the expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the period over
which services are to be received or the life of the option or warrant. The grant date fair value of employee share options and similar
instruments is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model on the basis of the fair value of the underlying common stock on
the measurement date, adjusted for the unique characteristics of those equity instrument. The fair value of the common stock is determined
by the then-prevailing closing market price. Expected volatility was based on the historical volatility of the Company’s closing
day market price per share. The expected term of options and warrants was based upon the life of the option, and the risk-free rate used
was based on the U.S. Treasury Daily Yield Curve Rate.
Research
and Development
The
Company expenses all research and development costs as incurred. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, and June 30, 2023, the amounts
charged to research and development expenses were $ 899,025 and $ 1,447,276 , respectively.
Net
Income (Loss) per Common Share :
Basic
Net income (loss) per share amounts have been calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each reporting
period. Diluted loss per share has been calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares plus the potentially dilutive effect
of securities such as common stock that potentially could be issued upon the conversion of convertible notes or upon the exercise of
outstanding options and warrants. The computation of potential common shares has been performed using the treasury stock method. Due
to net losses, all potential dilutive securities are antidilutive for all periods presented. When net loss is reported, diluted and basic
net loss per share amounts are the same as the impact of potential common shares is antidilutive.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
From
time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other standard setting bodies that
may have an impact on the Company’s accounting and reporting. The Company believes that such recently issued accounting pronouncements
and other authoritative guidance for which the effective date is in the future either will not have an impact on its accounting or reporting
or that such impact will not be material to its financial position, results of operations, and cash flows when implemented.

balance of $460,000 as of December 31, 2023. These notes bore interest at 10% and were convertible into shares of the Company’s
comment stock at rates that ranged from $0.13 to $0.25 per share. A portion of the notes were due to be paid or automatically converted
in 2024. The remaining were to be paid when the Company completes a capital raise of at least $5.0 million.
During
the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company borrowed an additional $680,000 from Mr. Kneppers. These notes were non-interest bearing
and were initially due 13 months after issuance. On June 22, 2024, the terms of all of the convertible notes due to Mr. Kneppers were modified. Under the modification, the notes are now payable on the earliest of the date on which the Company (1) uplists to the
Nasdaq or NYSE; (2) receives $5 million in equity financing; or (3) begins generating revenue from its first facility.
Accrued
interest on Mr. Kneppers notes was $35,151 at December 31, 2023. An additional $11,500 was recognized during the three months ended March
31, 2024 and the payable balance is $46,651 at June 30, 2024. In connection with modification of the terms of all of Mr. Kneppers notes,
interest stopped accruing on March 31, 2024. In lieu of interest, the Company will pay Mr. Kneppers 100% of the outstanding loan balance
due him contingent upon the financing of the first plant. All interest and loan amounts automatically come due upon a change of control of the Company
or if the Company files for bankruptcy under Chapter 11 or Chapter 7.
On
November 11, 2023, and also on July 7, 2023, the Company entered into two long-term convertible notes with board member Edmund Burke,
with a total principal balance of $15,000 and $25,000, respectively, that are to be repaid when the Company receives an equity investment
of at least $3 million. Otherwise, they accrued warrants, with a strike price of 15 cents and an expiration of 5 years, at the rate of
50,000 and 30,000 respectively every 12 months instead of interest, with a minimum of 80,000 warrants. The notes may convert into common
stock at $0.13/share at the option of the holder for a total of 307,692 shares.
In
April 2023, the Company entered into a long-term convertible note with board member Edmund Burke, with a principal balance of $150,000,
that is to be repaid when the Company receives an equity investment of at least $1.5 million. Otherwise, it accrued warrants, with a
strike price of 15 cents and an expiration of 5 years, at the rate of 100,000 every 6 months instead of interest. It may convert into
common stock at $0.13/share at the option of the holder for a total of 1,153,846 shares.

Business
Overview
Blue
Biofuels, Inc., was incorporated in Nevada on March 28, 2012, as Alliance Media Group Holdings, Inc. Since December 2013, Blue Biofuels,
Inc. (the “Company”) has been a technology company focused on emerging technologies in renewable energy, biofuels, and lignin.
In
early 2018, the Company’s chief executive officer (“CEO”) Ben Slager invented a new reactor technology with a higher
yield and a continuous throughput in the Cellulose-to-Sugar process, or CTS, and the Company filed a process patent application for this
technology. Mr. Slager has since further developed the system with the technical staff of the Company. The CTS patent was awarded in
2021 in the United States (U.S. Patent No. 10,994,255) and has subsequently been granted in Japan, Canada and El Salvador. The Company
also filed this patent in other major jurisdictions of the world including the European Patent Organization, Australia, Brazil, China,
the African Regional Intellectual Property Organization, and the Russian Federation. The patent applications are currently pending in
all of these international jurisdictions. In addition to this patent, the Company has received one additional patent in the United States
(U.S. Patent No. 11,484,858B2), for which it has also applied in all the above-mentioned jurisdictions. Further, the company has filed
for 6 other patents in the United States which are currently pending.
14
Mr.
Slager has since further developed the system with the technical staff of the Company. The patented CTS process is a continuous mechanical/chemical
dry process for breaking down cellulosic material for conversion into biofuels. CTS can break down any cellulosic material – including
grasses and agricultural waste. The CTS mechanical/chemical process allows for exact process control to ensure that all the material
passing through it does so on the optimum reaction parameters through which optimal efficiency is achieved.
The
new technology made it worthwhile to financially restructure the Company through Chapter 11. The Company voluntarily filed for Chapter
11 on October 22, 2018, in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the Southern District of Florida. The Company exited Chapter 11 on September
18, 2019, while keeping all classes, including shareholders, unimpaired. The bankruptcy case was closed on October 25, 2019.
CTS
is environmentally friendly in that it recycles the water and catalyst, and it has a low carbon footprint: the amount of added atmospheric
carbon created by burning the biofuels produced by the CTS system was absorbed by the plant-based feedstock while growing and is merely
released back into the atmosphere. No extra CO2 is released into the atmosphere when our biofuels are burned. This is to be distinguished
from fossil fuels because new CO2 is released when fossil fuels are burned.
The
Company believes a significant difference between CTS cellulosic ethanol and corn ethanol is the wide range of abundantly available feedstocks
that CTS can process compared to just corn as the feedstock. The CTS feedstocks are nonfood and have much lower costs than corn. In addition,
while in corn ethanol only the corn kernels are used, CTS uses the whole plant or its waste products, meaning it could obtain much higher
yields per acre.
In
2022, the Company partnered with K.R. Komarek to build its CTS machines going forward. Komarek is an industry leading manufacturing company
that builds briquetting machines and compaction/granulation systems with throughput capacities up to 50 tons per hour.
In
2023, the Company completed the build-out of a pilot plant based on a modified Komarek machine and is in the process of further testing
and optimizing the plant. The Company believes that it can optimize the pre and post processing elements at this pilot scale plant to
finalize design and operational parameters to provide operating cost estimates of a full-scale commercial volume system. Due to its mechanical
nature and modularity, we anticipate that one plant would have multiple modular CTS systems.
In
addition, the Company has licensed the patented Vertimass Process that is a single-step process that converts ethanol into sustainable
aviation fuel (SAF) and other renewable biofuels including bio-gasoline. The license agreement with Vertimass is the subject to a confidentiality
agreement between the parties.
Plan
of Operation
In
January 2024, the Company formed a 50-50 joint venture partnership with Vertimass called VertiBlue Fuels, LLC, that has the mission to
build an ethanol-to-SAF facility in Florida with the initial goal to produce around 10 million gallons of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF),
and then expand SAF production to approximately 70 million gallon per year. VertiBlue Fuels plans to initially convert sugarcane ethanol,
and then, when the Company’s CTS technology is fully commercialized, to build commercial CTS and ethanol facilities on the front-end
to produce cellulosic SAF and generate the large D7 RIN and other government credits. The joint venture agreement requires that each
party contribute $50,000 which has not yet been contributed by either party. In any event, commencing commercial production will require
project financing.
The
total process from cellulosic feedstock to SAF consists basically of three steps:
1)
Conversion
from feedstock to fermentable cellulosic sugars (CTS)
2)
Ferment
the cellulosic sugars into cellulosic ethanol.
3)
Covert
the ethanol into SAF and related products. This third step happens with the Vertimass technology which the Company has licensed.
15
Any
new biofuels plant that is built would require various government permits. In particular, renewable fuels are subject to rigorous testing
and premarket approval requirements by the EPA’s Office of Transportation and Air Quality and regulatory authorities in other countries.
In the U.S., various federal, and, in some cases, state statutes and regulations also govern or impact the manufacturing, safety, storage
and use of renewable fuels. The process of seeking required approvals and the continuing need for compliance with applicable statutes
and regulations requires the expenditure of resources. The Company anticipates raising the necessary capital for this as a part of its
project-based financing.
The
ethanol industry is competitive with over 200 ethanol plants in the United States alone. Currently, the vast majority use corn as feedstock.
Their profitability depends highly on the fluctuations between the price of corn and the price of ethanol. Since the Company does not
plan to use corn, and plans on having long-term purchase agreements with cellulosic feedstock suppliers, we anticipate that our profitability
will be more consistent. Further, cellulosic biofuels yield much higher incentives than non-cellulosic biofuels.
The
Energy Policy Act of 2005, which included the Renewable Fuel Standard Program enforced by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA),
mandates a certain amount of renewable fuel be blended into the transportation fuel used by all vehicles in the country. This Program
provides monetary incentives to companies that produce renewable transportation fuel, and establishes Renewable Identification Numbers
(RINs) or credits for each gallon of renewable transportation fuel produced in the United States, and breaks down those fuels into different
D-codes depending on the source of the renewable fuel. D3 is the code for renewable ethanol that comes from cellulosic materials. The
EPA’s final D3 RIN volume mandates for cellulosic biofuel include 840 million gallons for 2023, 1.09 billion gallons for 2024,
and 1.38 billion gallons for 2025 (the D3 mandate). This mandate has increased every year and is statutorily mandated to increase in
the future and become a larger portion of the full renewable fuels mandate, if and when cellulosic biofuels can be produced profitably
in larger and larger quantities. The RFS mandate for 2024 calls for 21.54 billion gallons of total renewable fuel, 15 billion from conventional
biofuels (corn ethanol) and 6.54 billion from advanced biofuels, including cellulosic biofuels. The “blend wall” (or upper
limit to the amount of ethanol that can be blended into U.S. gasoline and automobile performance and comply with the Clean Air Act) of
limiting ethanol content in gasoline to 10%, limits the total amount of ethanol consumed in the United States. Recent proposals have
make 15% blending available year around in some states. The value of the D3 RIN fluctuates, but as of this filing, it is approximately
$3.40 per gallon of ethanol. For comparison, the D6 RIN for corn ethanol is $0.67. To profit from these incentives, the Company plans
to apply for these D3 RIN credits as it brings its first plant into commercial operation.
Section
45Z of the Inflation Reduction Act passed on August 16, 2022, offers a Clean Fuel Production Credit (CFPC) per gallon of transportation
fuel produced with a base amount of 20 cents per gallon or up to $1 per gallon for a qualified facility (depending on its carbon index)
that was built while paying at least prevailing wages and which met apprenticeship requirements. For sustainable aviation fuel, those
figures are 35 cents and $1.75 per gallon respectively. The Company plans to apply for CFPC credits when it begins building its commercial
facilities. The CFPC currently does not apply to transportation fuel sold after December 31, 2027.
A
Low Carbon Fuel Standard Credit (LCFS) is offered by various states (primarily California) for any amount of reduced CO2 in the production
lifecycle of transportation fuels as compared to the amount of CO2 emitted in the production lifecycle of fossil fuels. The production
lifecycle includes transportation costs to the point of use. California is currently offering around $66 per metric ton of CO2 reduction.
When it is closer to commercial production, the Company plans to analyze the cost effectiveness of applying for these LCFS credits to
determine in which state it could earn the most credits.
At
commercial scale, management expects to be able to earn substantial renewable fuel credits and produce sustainable ethanol, sustainable
aviation fuel, and other sustainable biofuels more profitably than they could be from existing commercial corn ethanol producers. Cellulosic
ethanol comes with a much more valuable D3 RIN credit as compared to the D6 RIN allocated to corn ethanol; cellulosic SAF comes with
a very valuable D7 RIN, and cellulosic bio-gasoline comes with a valuable D3 RIN. The Company also expects to receive Clean Fuel Production
Credits related to section 45Z of the Inflation Reduction Act, and the Company also plans to pursue Low Carbon Fuel Standard Credits.
After
its first plant is profitable, the Company intends to grow with additional plants in the United States and explore international growth
by either licensing the CTS technology or forming joint ventures with foreign domestic partners to build plants.
The
Company believes that its management and consultants have significant experience in the development of technologies from concept to commercialization.
As of this date, the Company has not generated any material revenues from its business.

Capital
Formation
From
January 1, 2024, through the date of filing, the Company issued an aggregate of 114,545 shares of its common stock for services valued
at $10,094.
From
January 1, 2024, through the date of filing, the Company issued an aggregate of 127,500 warrants for services valued at $8,588 and 150,000
warrants for interest valued at $9,949.
From
January 1, 2024, through the date of filing, 2,925,000 previously issued options vested. During the six months ended June 30, 2024,
the Company recognized additional stock-based compensation of $146,509 in connection with modification of the exercise price of
7,475,000 vested options.
From
January 1, 2024, through the date of filing, 1,586,938 warrants expired or were cancelled.
Going
Concern
The
Company has incurred losses since inception, has a working capital deficiency, and may be unable to raise further capital. As of June
30, 2024, the Company had a working capital deficit of $1,549,579 and had incurred accumulated losses of $57,332,475 since its inception.
The Company expects to incur significant additional losses in connection with its continued start-up activities. As a result, there is
substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern based upon recurring operating losses and its need
to obtain additional financing to sustain operations. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its
ability to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities when they become due and to generate sufficient
revenues from its operations to pay its operating expenses.

Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Liquidity
As
of June 30, 2024, the Company had $407,806 in cash, and total stockholders’ equity on June 30, 2024, was negative $4,752,553. As
of December 31, 2023, the Company had $41,008 in cash, and total stockholders’ deficit at December 31, 2023, was $3,561,082.
Total debt, including convertible notes, accounts payable and other notes payable at June 30, 2024, together with interest payable thereon
and legacy liabilities, was $6,058,006 an increase of $1,466,705 from December 31, 2023, where it stood at $4,591,301. This increase
is primarily attributable to new convertible notes due and deferred wages to related parties. $2,738,132 of the remaining debt has been
renegotiated to be payable out of future revenue or out of future profits and otherwise does not come due.
During
the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company’s net cash used in operating activities decreased by $637,210 to $543,377 from
$1,180,587 in the six months ending June 30, 2023. This is primarily attributed to the increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities
of $237,412 to $543,377 in 2024 versus $308,070 in 2023 as well as a
reduction in overall expenses attributed to the completion of the pilot plant in the first half of 2023 versus its testing in 2024.
During
the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company’s investing activities used $19,825 in cash, as compared to $294,659 in the first
six months of 2023. This can be primarily attributed to capitalizing $282,038 used to purchase machinery and equipment for a pilot plant
in 2023, as compared to $0 in 2024.
During
the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company generated an aggregate of $930,000 through its financing activities versus $1,325,022
in the six months ended June 30, 2023, which is a decrease of $395,022. This decrease from the prior year can primarily be attributed
to net proceeds of $677,772 for the issuance of common stock in 2023 and $97,250 from the exercise of warrants and options, versus $0
for both in 2024, partially offset by an increase of $380,000 in the issuance of Convertible Notes in 2024 to $930,000 versus $550,000
in 2023.
Capital
Resources
At
this time, the Company has limited liquidity and capital resources. To continue funding its operations, the Company will need to generate
revenue or obtain additional financing for current and future operations. The Company anticipates needing additional funds for G&A
expenses and will seek project financing for a commercial ethanol to SAF facility in addition to funds needed to complete the commercialization
of its CTS system. There is no guarantee that the Company will achieve all of the additional funding that is needed.
As
of the date of this filing, in 2024 the Company has raised $930,000 through the issuance of convertible notes and $0 through the issuance
of shares and the exercise of warrants. The Company previously raised $16,963,625 in shares and $1,970,916 through converted notes and
$700,000 in debt or convertible notes since inception. However, there is no guarantee that the company will be able to raise any additional
capital on terms acceptable to the Company.
The
inability to obtain this funding either in the near term and/or longer term will materially affect the ability of the Company to implement
its business plan of operations and jeopardize the viability of the Company. In that case, the Company may need to reevaluate and revise
its operations.
Equity
As
of June 30, 2024, shareholders’ deficit was $4,752,553.
There
were 302,865,508 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2024.
There
were no preferred shares outstanding.
The
Company has paid no dividends.
