CLENERGEN CORPORATION
(A Development Stage Company)

and from October 27, 2005 (Inception) to July 31, 2011
(Unaudited)
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Clenergen Corporation (the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on May 2, 2005 under the name “American Bonanza Resources Limited.” On August 4, 2009, the Company acquired Clenergen Corporation Limited (UK), a United Kingdom corporation (“Limited”), and succeeded to the business of Limited. Limited acquired the assets of Rootchange Limited, a biofuel and biomass research and development company, in April 2009. The Company commenced operating two biomass power plants in India in October 2010.
We had entered into agreements to acquire two biomass power plants from their current respective owners. The agreement to acquire one of such plants required, as a condition to consummating the acquisition, that the bank-lender to the plant, IDBI Bank Ltd, approve such acquisition and the assumption of the debt owed to the bank-lender. However, the bank-lender had stated that it will not approve the acquisition until such time as we provided sufficient collateral in the form of cash deposits with the bank-lender as required under Indian banking laws. We did not have available the funds necessary to make such a deposit. We had an oral arrangement with the owners of the plant to the effect that we would operate the plant, retain all revenues generated from such operations and pay all costs associated with operating the plant.
We were not able to raise the funds required for the cash deposit from equity or debt financing. Furthermore, the transportation cost of feedstock for supplying fuel to the power plant was significantly higher than projected. Furthermore, servicing the debt loan to IDBI was not possible from the revenues generated from operating the power plant. We were not able to operate the power plant during the month of July 2011 due to a sudden change in government policy by the State of Tamilnadu regarding the sale of power by independent power producers (each, an “IPP”). The office of the new Chief Minister of Tamilnadu proposed a change in legislation which would require IPP’s to either sell electricity to the state government or to private clients under private power supply agreements. Historically, the power plant had been selling electricity to private clients and during off peak periods, selling electricity at a significantly lower rate to the State of Tamilnadu. The consequences of such legislation being passed would have had a negative impact on the ability to generate profits from biomass power plants located within the State of Tamilnadu and possibly resulting in the closure of biomass power plants. In order to counteract this legislation, all the IPPs stopped producing electricity as from July 1, 2011. The legislation was withdrawn on July 27, 2011 as a result of the actions taken by the IPPs in the State of Tamilnadu.
The second power plant, a 1.5MW Anaerobic Digestion Power Plant, is located in Namikkall, Tamilnadu, India. Trials commenced in October 2010 using one of the GE Jenbacher gas engines. The second engine required maintenance in order to be operational. After three months of trials, it was determined that both the GE Jenbacher gas engines needed servicing in order to operate efficiently. The estimated cost of repairs and maintenance required hiring specialized engineers to assess the cost involved in repairing the engines and providing ongoing maintenance services.
As a result of the operational issues associated with these two power plants, we decided on September 5, 2011 to divest Clenergen India Private Limited (“Clenergen India”). We entered into a Transfer Agreement, effective as of September 5, 2011 (the “Divestiture Agreement”), whereby we sold to Maxrise Powergen Limited, a Hong Kong corporation (“Maxrise”), all of our equity interest in Clenergen India. The purchase price for the sale of our Clenergen India equity interest was $1.00; although the Divesture Agreement also requires Maxrise to transfer to us the sum of $1,011,700 by September 2, 2011, representing past advances to Clenergen India made on behalf of the Company. Maxrise had requested additional time to complete the transfer such funds, of which we have granted. We expect to have received the full amount on or before September 30, 2011 , representing past advances to Clenergen India made on behalf of the Company.
In connection with the Transfer Agreement, Maxrise has agreed to assume all the operating assets and liabilities of Clenergen India which are disclosed as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. On the date of the sale Clenergen India had negative equity resulting in a gain on the sale of Clenergen India which will be recognized in the fourth quarter of 2011. The operating assets of Clenergen India primarily consist of current assets and certain other long-lived assets which were acquired by Maxrise on an as-is basis and with no conditions regarding their valuation or recoverability. Accordingly, no impairment loss has been recognized in the accompanying consolidated financial statements against the discontinued assets of Clenergen India. Further, Maxrise has also assumed the liabilities of Clenergen India and will be responsible to settle debts due to note holders and vendors. We have not accrued any losses from contingencies or other related liabilities as the agreement with Maxrise was to transfer liabilities on the books of Clenergen India without recourse.
6
Excluded from the transfer of our Clenergen India equity interest was the license we were granted from Star Biotechnology Limited related to Polyploidy growth technology covering India and Sri Lanka and other third party agreements with agronomy and technology suppliers located in India. As a result of such sale, the assets and liabilities of Clenergen India will no longer be reflected on our consolidated financial statements. Maxrise is owned by a consortium of Asian Investors.
The divestiture of Clenergen India, the granting of equity interests and 100% management control in Clenergen Ghana, Clenergen Guyana, Clenergen Trinidad and Clenergen Philippines to Futenco and the licensing of certain of our intellectual property rights to Futenco reflects the shift in our business model toward becoming a worldwide supplier of biomass feedstock for use in producing wood chips for renewable electricity, Pyrolysis oil and wood pellets to co-fire coal power plants in an effort to reduce their carbon emissions. The business model anticipates a continued focus on the installation of small turnkey gasification power plants for the captive end users, such as mining and manufacturing operations. Our primary income streams will be through the supply of saplings for energy crops, development fees, license fees, sale of biomass feedstock grown on our plantations and distributions from the Joint Venture Entities and other projects in which we participate.
NOTE 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
These interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for the fair presentation of financial statements for the interim periods have been included. The results of operations for the three months and nine months ended July 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of results that ultimately may be achieved for any future interim period or for the year ending October 31, 2011. These interim unaudited financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2010.
The Company has evaluated all subsequent events through the date of the Company’s Form 10-Q in which these interim financial statements and notes thereto are included for appropriate accounting and disclosure.
NOTE 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of consolidation - The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the historical accounts of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, including Clenergen Corporation Limited (UK), Clenergen India Private Limited and Clenergen Corporation Administrative Services Limited, on a consolidated basis. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Research and development - Research and development costs are charged to operations as incurred and include direct costs of research scientists and materials and an allocation of other core scientific services.
Revenue Recognition - Revenue from power generation is recognized on an accrual basis, based on the terms of the Company’s power purchase agreements with its governmental, quasi-governmental and private customers. The governmental and quasi-governmental power purchase agreements typically provide for charges based on readings of outward-bound electricity from the generating plant, which readings are conducted jointly by the Company and representatives of the applicable state electricity board. Each Indian state electricity board is responsible for the electrical grid of such state, including maintenance of the grid’s infrastructure and acts as a purchaser of excess electricity injected into the grid by power generating companies, such as the Company, which is not delivered to customers of the power generating companies. Actual revenues recognized for power supplied to the governmental, quasi-governmental and private customers may not be contemporaneous with the reading dates. Billings to private customers are based on a monthly injection statement prepared by the Company giving details of power supplied to all customers and duly certified by the applicable state electricity board.
7
Accounts Receivable - Accounts receivable represent all outstanding amounts due from governmental, quasi-governmental and private customers for electricity supplied by the Company to the customers for which revenue recognition has occurred, including unbilled amounts. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on estimates as to the collectability of accounts receivable. Since the Company has a limited operating history, management considers trends in estimating the allowance for doubtful accounts including reviewing past-due accounts receivable balances, customer credit-worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. Amounts determined to be uncollectible will be written-off when it is determined that the balance will not be collected. Based on the factors listed above, management concluded no allowance for doubtful accounts was required as of July 31, 2011.
Foreign currency translation - The Company’s assets and liabilities have been translated using the exchange rate at the balance sheet date. The weighted average exchange rate for the period has been used to translate income and expenses. Translation adjustments are reported separately and accumulated in a separate component of equity, “Accumulated other comprehensive income/loss.”
Comprehensive income (loss) - Other comprehensive income (loss) refers to revenues, expenses, gains and losses that under US GAAP are included in comprehensive income (loss) but are excluded from net loss as these amounts are recorded directly as an adjustment to stockholders’ deficiency. The Company’s other comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of foreign currency translation adjustments. Comprehensive income (loss) is reported by the Company in the consolidated statements of operations.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with accounting principles relating to share-based payment which requires fair value method of accounting. Under the fair value based method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. Expected forfeitures are included in determining share-based employee compensation cost. Share-based awards that do not require future services are expensed immediately.
Basic loss per share - Basic net loss per share amounts are computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. As of July 31, 2011, the Company has issued potentially dilutive purchase warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,500,000 shares of the Company common stock. These shares have no effect on earnings per share as a result of the operating loss of the Company.
Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Use of Estimates and Assumptions - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Income Taxes - A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for all temporary differences between financial and tax reporting and net operating loss carry-forwards. Deferred tax expense (benefit) results from the net change during the year of deferred tax assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
NOTE 4. GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements are presented on a going concern basis. For the period of October 27, 2005 (date of inception) through July 31, 2011, the Company incurred an aggregate net loss of $42,623,471.
8
As of July 31, 2011, we had not emerged from the development stage and our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate net income and obtain additional financing. Since inception, we have financed our operations principally from the use of advances from stockholders and others. We intend to finance our future development activities through joint ventures, licensing fees and biomass supply agreements. Under agreements signed with Futenco, all overhead, salaries and project financing requirements of the Joint Venture Entities for their current and future projects in Guyana, Ghana and the Philippines will be funded by Futenco. We are not required to fund the salaries and overheads of our subsidiary companies. As a result, we no longer retain any full time consultants.
We anticipate that we will finance our overhead, consulting, directors and advisory fees largely from the issuance of stock, until such time that funds provided by operations and other revenue streams are sufficient to fund our working capital requirements. There can be no assurance that we will be successful at achieving our financing needs on reasonably commercial terms, if at all.
These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of the recorded assets or the classification of liabilities that may be necessary should the company be unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 5. STOCK TRANSACTIONS
All forms of share-based payment awards, including shares issued under employee stock purchase plans, stock options, restricted stock and stock appreciation rights, as well as share grants and other awards issued to employees and non-employees under free-standing arrangements are recorded at fair value on grant date, based on the estimated number of awards that are expected to vest and will result in a charge to operations.
During the months of May and June, 2011, we sold an aggregate of 365,200 shares of our common stock to a total of four purchasers in private transactions we conducted in Germany. Gross proceeds from such sales totaled approximately $181,000 and selling commissions and other sale expenses totaled approximately $72,000, resulting in net proceeds from such sales of $109,000.
On May 5, 2011, we issued an aggregate of 300,000 shares of our common stock to three consultants of our company, which were valued at $249,000.
On June 16, 2011, we sold and issued to a single investor 357,143 shares for a total consideration of $125,000. We did not incur any commission or other fees in connection with such sale.
On June 29, 2011, we sold and issued to a single investor 285,714 shares for a total consideration of $100,000. We did not incur any commission or other fees in connection with such sales.
On July 8, 2011, we sold and issued to a single investor 28,600 shares of our common stock for a total consideration of $10,000. We did not incur any commission or other fees in connection with such sales.
Our stock subscription receivable has decreased by approximately $109,000 between April 30, 2011 and July 31, 2011, such subscriptions being receivable from earlier periods and recovered during the current quarter.
NOTE 6. NOTE PAYABLE
Pursuant to an agreement signed on May 17, 2011, the Company received an interim bridge loan of $150,000 from a private investor towards the working capital requirements of its India subsidiary. The Company intends to repay the bridge loan to the private investor in September 2011.

NOTE 7. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company entered into a Shareholders Agreement (the “Clenergen Ghana Shareholders Agreement”) with Futenco with respect to the operation of its formerly majority-owned subsidiary, Clenergen Ghana Limited (“Clenergen Ghana”). The Clenergen Ghana Shareholders Agreement was made effective as of September 5, 2011. Under the Clenergen Ghana Shareholders Agreement, Futenco is required to invest $35,000 in Clenergen Ghana on or before August 31, 2012. As of September 19, 2011, no portion of such $35,000 has been received. Futenco assumed a 57% equity interest in Clenergen Ghana, with the Company owning a 40% equity interest and three non-affiliated individuals owning the remaining 3% equity interest. Futenco will have full management control of Clenergen Ghana and be entitled to a 60% “revenue share.” Futenco has the option to acquire the Company’s equity interest for fair market value at any time within the first year, and for $1.00 in the event that Clenergen files for administration. Futenco is required to use its best efforts to obtain funding of project financing by December 31, 2012 and, if such financing has not been so obtained, the Company will have the option to purchase Futenco’s equity interest for $35,000 plus an amount equal to any additional investment in Clenergen Ghana made by Futenco. The Company has the option to purchase from Futenco an 11% equity interest in Clenergen Ghana for a mutually agreed upon price if any class of the Company’s securities becomes listed on the American Stock Exchange (the “AMEX”). We can give no assurance that any class of our securities will ever be listed on the AMEX.
The Company has also entered into an agreement (“Agreement”) with Futenco to raise a $30 million fund for the purpose of cultivating energy crops in Malaysia, Sri Lanka, and Guatemala and in certain regions of Ghana which are not subject to the Clenergen Ghana Shareholders Agreement.
The Company entered into a Shareholders Agreement (the “Clenergen Guyana and Trinidad Shareholders Agreement”) with Futenco with respect to the operation of its formerly majority-owned subsidiaries, Clenergen Guyana Inc., Clenergen Trinidad Inc. (a Guyana corporation) and Clenergen Trinidad Inc. (a Trinidad and Tobago corporation) (collectively, “Clenergen Guyana and Trinidad”).
