−Removed: effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is:
−Removed: (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms,

−Removed: Managements Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting .
−Removed: Our management is responsible for establishing and
−Removed: maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act).
−Removed: Our internal control over financial reporting (ICFR) is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance
−Removed: regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
−Removed: Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
−Removed: Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable
−Removed: assurance of achieving their control objectives.
−Removed: Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial
−Removed: officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012.
−Removed: In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
−Removed: Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control Integrated Framework.
−Removed: Based on this evaluation, our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, concluded that, as of December 31,
−Removed: 2012, our ICFR were ineffective due to a material weakness existing in our internal controls as of December 31, 2012.
−Removed: weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies in ICFR such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
−Removed: weaknesses would permit information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit to not be recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period specified in the Securities Exchange Commissions rules and
−Removed: As a result of our assessment and based on the criteria in the COSO framework, management has concluded that, as of December 31,
−Removed: 2012, our ICFR was not effective due to the existence of the following material weakness:
−Removed: Inadequate Reviews to Ensure
−Removed: Complex Accounting Transactions and Foreign Subsidiary Balances are Accurately Recorded in Accordance with U.S.
−Removed: Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP):
−Removed: Due to our liquidity situation, we did not have adequate staffing of
−Removed: trained accounting personnel with appropriate expertise in U.S.
−Removed: GAAP to ensure that certain complex material and non-routine transactions are properly reflected in our financial statements.
−Removed: Consequently, we may not anticipate and identify accounting
−Removed: issues, or other risks critical to financial reporting, that could materially impact the consolidated financial statements.
−Removed: We will begin to implement remediation steps outlined below to eliminate the material weakness identified.
−Removed: Inadequate Reviews to Ensure Complex Accounting Transactions and Foreign Subsidiary Balances are Accurately Recorded in Accordance
−Removed: We have engaged a consulting firm to provide review and analysis for complex transactions and technical accounting research to ensure transactions are properly recorded in compliance with U.S.
−Removed: In addition, we are
−Removed: seeking to hire additional staff with greater knowledge of U.S.
−Removed: GAAP both in the U.S.
−Removed: and our foreign operations as well as engaging selected third parties to improve the accuracy of our financial reporting.
−Removed: This annual report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial
−Removed: Managements report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permits us to provide only managements report in this annual report.

−Removed: FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2011 AND 2010
−Removed: ORGANIZATION AND LINE OF BUSINESS
−Removed: incorporated on September 29, 2001 in the State of Nevada under the name of Biocorp North America Inc.
−Removed: On March 18, 2005, we filed an amendment to our certificate of incorporation to change our name to Cereplast, Inc.
−Removed: Line of Business
−Removed: We have developed and are commercializing proprietary bio-based resins through two complementary product families:
−Removed: Compostables ®
−Removed: resins which are compostable, renewable, ecologically sound substitutes for petroleum-based
−Removed: plastics, and Cereplast Sustainables resins (including the Cereplast Hybrid Resins product line), which replaces up to 90% of the petroleum-based content of traditional plastics with materials from renewable resources.
−Removed: Our resins can be
−Removed: converted into finished products using conventional manufacturing equipment without significant additional capital investment by downstream converters.
−Removed: The demand for non-petroleum based, clean and renewable sources for materials, such as bioplastics, and the demand for compostable/biodegradable products are being driven globally by a variety of factors,
−Removed: including fossil fuel price volatility, energy security and environmental concerns.
−Removed: These factors have led to increased spending on clean and renewable products by corporations and individuals as well as legislative initiatives at national, state
−Removed: and local level.
−Removed: We are a full-service resin solution provider uniquely positioned to capitalize on the rapidly increasing demand for
−Removed: sustainable and environmentally friendly alternatives to traditional plastic products.
−Removed: We primarily conduct our operations through two
−Removed: product families:
−Removed: Compostables ®
−Removed: resins are compostable and bio-based, ecologically sound substitutes for petroleum-based plastics
−Removed: targeting primarily compostable bags, single-use food service products and packaging applications.
−Removed: We offer 17 commercial grades of Compostable resins in this product line.
−Removed: These resins are compatible with existing manufacturing processes and
−Removed: equipment making them a ready substitute for traditional petroleum-based resins.
−Removed: We commercially introduced our Compostable line in November 2006.
−Removed: Cereplast Sustainables resins are partially or fully bio-based, ecologically sound substitutes for fully petroleum-based plastics targeting
−Removed: primarily durable goods, packaging applications.
−Removed: We offer four commercial grades of Sustainable resins in this product line.
−Removed: These resins are compatible with existing manufacturing processes and equipment, making them a ready substitute for
−Removed: traditional petroleum-based resins.
−Removed: We commercially introduced our Sustainable line in late 2007 under the name Cereplast Hybrid Resins ®
−Removed: Cereplast Hybrid
−Removed: products replace up to 55% of the petroleum content in conventional plastics with bio-based materials
−Removed: such as industrial starches sourced from plants.
−Removed: The Hybrid resins line is designed to offer similar properties to traditional polyolefins such as impact strength and heat deflection temperature, and is compatible with existing converter processes
−Removed: and equipment.
−Removed: The Cereplast Hybrid Resins ®
−Removed: line provides a viable alternative for brand owners and converters
−Removed: looking to partially replace petroleum-based resins in durable goods applications.
−Removed: Hybrid resins address this need in a wide range of markets, including automotive, consumer goods, consumer electronics, medical, packaging, and construction.
−Removed: commercially introduced our first grade of Hybrid resin, Hybrid 150, at the end of 2007.
−Removed: We currently offer eight commercial grades in this product line.
−Removed: Cereplast Algae
−Removed: Plastic ®
−Removed: In October of 2009 we announced that we have been developing a new technology to transform
−Removed: algae into bioplastics and intend to launch a new resin family containing algae-based materials that will complement our existing line of resins.
−Removed: The first commercial product with Cereplast Algae Plastic ®
−Removed: resin is now being produced and sold as part of our Sustainables resin family.
−Removed: We believe that it is important to
−Removed: enhance research on non-food crops as we expect a surge in demand in bioplastics in future years, thus potentially creating pressure on food crops.
−Removed: Algae are the first non-food crop project that we have introduced and our R&D department is
−Removed: contemplating the development of additional non-food crop based materials in future years.
−Removed: Our patent portfolio is currently comprised of five patents in the United States (U.S.), one
−Removed: Mexican patent, and seven pending patent applications in the U.S.
−Removed: Our trademark portfolio is currently comprised of 47 registered marks, 4 allowed marks and 12 pending applications in the U.S.

2 – Summary of significant accounting policies
−Removed: Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
−Removed: The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP).
−Removed: The audited consolidated
−Removed: financial statements include the financial condition and results of operations of our wholly-owned subsidiary, Cereplast International, S.A., a Luxembourg company organized during the year ended December 31, 2008, for the purpose of conducting
−Removed: sales operations in Europe.
−Removed: Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
−Removed: Use of Estimates
−Removed: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in
−Removed: the accompanying financial statements.
−Removed: Significant estimates made in preparing these financial statements include the estimate of useful lives of property and equipment, the deferred tax valuation allowance and the fair value of stock options.
−Removed: Actual results could differ from those estimates.
−Removed: We consider all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
−Removed: At various times throughout the year, we may have exceeded federally insured limits.
−Removed: December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, balances in our cash accounts exceeded federally insured limits of $0.25 million by approximately $0 and $3.4 million, respectively.
−Removed: We have not experienced any losses in such accounts and we do not
−Removed: believe we are exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.
−Removed: Concentration of Credit Risk
−Removed: We had unrestricted cash totaling $0.2 million and $3.9 million at December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.
−Removed: The unrestricted cash
−Removed: and cash equivalents are held for working capital purposes.
−Removed: We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes.
−Removed: Some of the securities in which we invest, however, may be subject to market risk.
−Removed: This means that a change in
−Removed: prevailing interest rates may cause the principal amount of the investment to fluctuate.
−Removed: To minimize this risk, we intend to maintain our portfolio of cash equivalents and short-term investments in a variety of securities, including commercial
−Removed: paper, money market funds, debt securities and certificates of deposit.
−Removed: Due to the short-term nature of these investments, we believe that we do not have any material exposure to changes in the fair value of our investment portfolio as a result of
−Removed: changes in interest rates.
−Removed: We actively monitor changes in interest rates.
+Added: and Cash Equivalents
+Added: purposes of reporting within the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all cash on hand, cash accounts not subject to withdrawal
+Added: restrictions or penalties, and all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash
+Added: Stock-Based Compensation
+Added: Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718 Compensation - Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”).
+Added: 718 addresses all forms of share-based payment (“SBP”) awards including shares issued under employee stock purchase plans
+Added: and stock incentive shares.
+Added: Under ASC 718 awards result in a cost that is measured at fair value on the awards’ grant date, based
+Added: on the estimated number of awards that are expected to vest and will result in a charge to operations.
+Added: earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares
+Added: Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased
+Added: to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and
+Added: if the additional common shares were dilutive.
+Added: The Company’s diluted loss per share is the same as the basic loss per share for
+Added: the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, as there are no potential shares outstanding that would have a dilutive effect.
+Added: tax expense is based on pretax financial accounting income.
+Added: Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected tax consequences
+Added: of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts.
+Added: Valuation allowances are recorded
+Added: to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that will more likely than not be realized.
+Added: The Company recorded a valuation allowance against
+Added: its deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020.
+Added: Company accounts for uncertainty in income taxes using a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions.
+Added: first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more
+Added: likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any.
+Added: The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement.
+Added: Company classifies the liability for unrecognized tax benefits as current to the extent that the Company anticipates payment (or receipt)
+Added: of cash within one year.
+Added: Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions are recognized in the provision for income taxes.
+Added: Accounting Pronouncements
+Added: December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No.
+Added: 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, as part of its initiative to reduce complexity
+Added: in accounting standards.
+Added: The amendments in the ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim
+Added: periods therein.
+Added: Early adoption of the standard is permitted, including adoption in interim or annual periods for which financial statements
+Added: have not yet been issued.
+Added: The Company is currently evaluating the effect, if any, that the ASU will have on its consolidated financial
3- Going Concern
−Removed: We have incurred a net loss of $30.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, and $14.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, and
−Removed: have an accumulated deficit of $87.1 million as of December 31, 2012.
−Removed: Based on our operating plan, our existing working capital will not be sufficient to meet the cash requirements to fund our planned operating expenses, capital expenditures
−Removed: and working capital requirements through December 31, 2013 without additional sources of cash.
−Removed: This raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
−Removed: Our plan to address the shortfall of working capital is to generate additional financing through a combination of refinancing existing credit facilities, incremental product sales and raising additional
−Removed: debt and equity financing.
−Removed: We are confident that we will be able to deliver on our plans, however, there are no assurances that we will be able to obtain any sources of financing on acceptable terms, or at all.
−Removed: If we cannot obtain sufficient additional financing in the short-term, we may be forced to curtail or cease operations or file for bankruptcy.
−Removed: consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be forced to take such
−Removed: Restricted Cash
−Removed: had restricted cash in the amount of approximately $43,000 on December 31, 2012 and 2011.
−Removed: The restricted cash amount consists of a Certificate of Deposit which supports a Letter of Credit for a leased facility.
−Removed: Fair Value of Financial Instruments
−Removed: The carrying amounts of our financial instruments as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, which include cash, accounts receivable, unbilled receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, loans payable and
−Removed: convertible subordinated notes approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
−Removed: Accounts Receivable
−Removed: We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses that may arise if any of our customers are unable to make required
−Removed: Management performs a quantitative and qualitative review of the receivables past due from customers on a monthly basis.
−Removed: Quantitative factors include customers past due balance, prior payment history, recent sales activity and days
−Removed: sales outstanding.
−Removed: Qualitative factors include macroeconomic environment, current product demand, estimated inventory levels and customers financial position.
−Removed: In certain cases, we may have access to repossess unsold products held at customer
−Removed: locations as recourse for payment defaults.
−Removed: The fair market value of these products are considered as potential recovery in estimating net losses from uncollectible accounts.
−Removed: We record an allowance against uncollectible items for each customer after
−Removed: all reasonable means of collection have been exhausted, and the potential for recovery is considered remote.
−Removed: The allowance for doubtful accounts was approximately $15.0 million and $5.4 million as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
−Removed: Inventories are
−Removed: stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out basis) or market and consist primarily of raw materials used in the manufacturing of bioplastic resins, finished bioplastic resins and finished goods.

−Removed: Impairment of

−Removed: We evaluate long-lived assets based upon an estimate of future undiscounted cash flows.
−Removed: Recoverability of these assets is measured by comparing the
−Removed: carrying value to the future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.
−Removed: An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying value exceeds the undiscounted future cash flows estimated to result from the use and eventual
−Removed: disposition of the asset.
−Removed: Future net undiscounted cash flows include estimates of future revenues and expenses which are based on projected growth rates.
−Removed: We continually use judgment when applying these impairment rules to determine the timing of the
−Removed: impairment tests, the undiscounted cash flows used to assess impairments and the fair value of a potentially impaired asset.
−Removed: The reasonableness of our judgment could significantly affect the carrying value of our long-lived assets.
−Removed: During fiscal year 2012, we experienced a significant decline in sales volume due to liquidity and sales resource constraints, which we believe to be
−Removed: Our reduced production volume has not changed the manner in which we use our property and equipment, nor its physical condition.
−Removed: Our current estimate of future net undiscounted cash flows indicates that the carrying value of our
