CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND INFORMATION

 

This Annual Report contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts but rather are plans and predictions based on current expectations, estimates, and projections about our industry, our beliefs, and assumptions.

 

We use words such as “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “intend,” “project,” “plan,” “believe,” “seek,” “assume,” and variations of these words and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties, and other factors, some of which are beyond our control, are difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements because the matters they describe are subject to certain risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Our forward-looking statements are based on the information currently available to us and speak only as of the date on which they were made. Over time, our actual results, performance, or achievements may differ from those expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements, and such difference might be significant and materially adverse to our security holders. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. Factors that could materially affect these forward-looking statements and/or predictions include, among other things: (i) the development and protection of our brands and other intellectual property, (ii) the need to raise capital to meet business requirements, (iii) significant fluctuations in marketing expenses, (iv) the ability to achieve and expand significant levels of revenues, or recognize net income, from the sale of our products, (v) management’s ability to attract and maintain qualified personnel necessary for the development and commercialization of its planned products, (vi) the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, suppliers, consumers, customers, and employees or the overall economy, and (vii) other information that may be detailed from time to time in the Company’s filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Please consider our forward-looking statements in light of those risks as you read this Quarterly Report.

OPTI-HARVEST, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 and 2022

(Amounts rounded to nearest thousands, except share and per share amounts)

 

 i 

Note 1 – Operations and Liquidity

 

Opti-Harvest, Inc. (“Opti-Harvest” or the Company) is an agricultural innovation company with products backed by a portfolio of patented and patent pending technologies focused on solving several critical challenges faced by agribusinesses: maximizing crop yield, accelerating crop growth, optimizing land and water resources, reducing labor costs and mitigating negative environmental impacts.

 

Our advanced agriculture technology (Opti-Filter™) and precision farming (Opti-View™) platforms, enable commercial growers and home gardeners to harness, optimize and better utilize sunlight, the planet’s most fundamental and renewable natural resource.

 

Our sustainable agricultural technology platform is powered by the sun. It maximizes a free and renewable resource with no need for additional chemicals or fertilizers.

 

Opti-Harvest was formed in the State of Delaware on June 20, 2016. Our principal executive offices are located at 190 N Canon Dr., Suite 304, Beverly Hills, California 90210. Our website address is www.opti-harvest.com.

 

Effective on February 22, 2023, the Board of Directors and stockholders have approved resolutions authorizing a reverse stock split of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock on the basis of  i 0.6786 shares for every one share of common stock. All shares and per share amounts and information presented herein have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split for all periods presented.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, during the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recorded a net loss of $ i 2.9 million, used cash in operations of $ i 736,000, and had a stockholders’ deficit balance of $ i 5.6 million at March 31, 2023. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date of the financial statements being issued. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to raise additional funds and implement its business plan. As a result, management has concluded that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, in its report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, has also expressed substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

F-5
 

 

At March 31, 2023, the Company had cash on hand in the amount of $ i 12,000. Subsequent to March 31, 2023, the Company received proceeds of $ i 405,000 on the sale of promissory notes and a $ i 20,000 advanced from a related party (see Note 10). The Company believes it has enough cash to sustain operations through May 31, 2023. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain necessary debt or equity financing to continue operations until it begins generating positive cash flow. No assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on our operations, in the case of debt financing or cause substantial dilution for our stockholders, in case or equity financing.

 i 

Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies

 

 i 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Those estimates and assumptions include depreciable lives of rental equipment and property and equipment, impairment testing of recorded long-term tangible assets, the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, accruals for potential liabilities, assumptions made in valuing stock instruments issued for services, and assumptions used in the determination of the Company’s liquidity.

 

 i 

Inventory

 

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined on a first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) basis. We regularly review our inventory quantities on hand and record a provision for excess and obsolete inventory based primarily on our estimated forecast of product demand and our ability to sell the product(s) concerned. Demand for our products can fluctuate significantly. Factors that could affect demand for our products include unanticipated changes in consumer preferences, general market conditions or other factors, which may result in cancellations of advance orders or a reduction in the rate of reorders placed by customers. Additionally, our management’s estimates of future product demand may be inaccurate, which could result in an understated or overstated provision required for excess and obsolete inventory. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the inventory is fully reserved for slow moving and potentially obsolete inventory.

 

 i 

Rental Equipment

 

The rental equipment we purchase is stated at cost and is depreciated over the estimated useful life of the equipment using the straight-line method and is included in rental depreciation within the consolidated statements of operations. Estimated useful lives vary based upon type of equipment. Generally, we depreciate our products over a three-year estimated useful life. We periodically evaluate the appropriateness of remaining depreciable lives and any salvage value assigned to rental equipment.

 

 i 

Deferred Offering Costs

 

Deferred offering costs consist principally of legal, accounting, and underwriters’ fees incurred related to equity financing. These offering costs are deferred and then charged against the gross proceeds received once the equity financing occurs or are charged to expense if the financing does not occur.

 

 i 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with two different Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) standards: 1) Topic 606 and 2) Topic 842.

 

F-6
 

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). The underlying principle of ASC 606 is to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at the amount expected to be collected. ASC 606 creates a five-step model that requires entities to exercise judgment when considering the terms of contract(s), which include (1) identifying the contract or agreement with a customer, (2) identifying our performance obligations in the contract or agreement, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the separate performance obligations, and (5) recognizing revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied.

 

The Company does not have any significant contracts with customers requiring performance beyond delivery, and contracts with customers contain no incentives or discounts that could cause revenue to be allocated or adjusted over time. Shipping and handling activities are performed before the customer obtains control of the goods and therefore represent a fulfillment activity rather than a promised service to the customer. Revenue and costs of sales are recognized when control of the products transfers to our customer, which generally occurs upon shipment from our facilities. The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied at that time.

 

All of the Company’s products are offered for sale as finished goods only, and there are no performance obligations required post-shipment for customers to derive the expected value from them.

 

The Company does not allow for returns, except for damaged products when the damage occurred pre-fulfillment. Damaged product returns have historically been insignificant. Because of this, the stand-alone nature of our products, and our assessment of performance obligations and transaction pricing for our sales contracts, we do not currently maintain a contract asset or liability balance for obligations. We assess our contracts and the reasonableness of our conclusions on a quarterly basis.

 

Under Topic 842, Leases, the Company accounts for owned equipment rental contracts as operating leases. We recognize revenue from equipment rentals in the period earned, regardless of the timing of billing to customers. A rental contract generally includes rates for monthly use, and rental revenues are earned on a daily basis as rental contracts remain outstanding. Because the rental contracts can extend across multiple reporting periods, we record unbilled rental revenues and deferred rental revenues at the end of reporting periods so rental revenues earned is appropriately stated for the periods presented. The lease terms are included in our contracts, and the determination of whether our contracts contain leases generally does not require significant assumptions or judgments. In some cases, a rental contract may contain a rental purchase option, whereby the customer has an option to purchase the rented equipment at the end of the term for a specified price. Revenues related to the rental contract will be accounted for as an operating lease as the option to purchase is not reasonably certain to be exercised. Lessees do not provide residual value guarantees on rented equipment.

 

The Company recently began offering rental contracts as an option to its customers under operating leases. The material terms of  i the Company’s current rental agreements include a rental period duration between twelve to twenty-four (24) months, with  i an option to extend for an additional twelve to twenty-four (24) months. There are no minimum purchase commitments, and some rental contracts contain an option to purchase the rented equipment at the end of the term for a specified price. The Company currently requires its customers to pay in advance for the full rental period within the first ninety days of the rental contract period.

 

 i 

As of March 31, 2023, future operating lease income and future lease payments to be received from equipment rentals are as follows:

 i 

Receivables and contract assets and liabilities

 

The Company manages credit risk associated with its accounts receivables at the customer level. Because the same customers typically generate the revenues that are accounted for under both Topic 606 and Topic 842, the discussions below on credit risk and our allowances for doubtful accounts address our total revenues from Topic 606 and Topic 842.

 

The Company does not have material contract assets, impairment losses associated therewith, or material contract liabilities associated with contracts with customers. Our contracts with customers do not generally result in material amounts billed to customers more than recognizable revenue. The Company recognized $ i 19,000 of revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2023, that was included in the Company’s deferred revenue balance at December 31, 2022.

 

 / 
 i 

Loss per Common Share

 

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all dilutive potential common shares had been issued, using the treasury stock method. Potential common shares are excluded from the computation when their effect is antidilutive.

 

 i 

For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the calculations of basic and diluted loss per share are the same because potential dilutive securities would have had an anti-dilutive effect. The potentially dilutive securities consisted of the following:

Schedule of Anti-Dilutive Securities of Earning Per Share

Total    i 9,423,739     i 8,508,706

 i 

Stock Compensation Expense

 

The Company periodically issues stock options to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and for financing costs. The Company accounts for such grants issued and vesting based on ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation whereby the value of the award is measured on the date of grant and recognized for employees as compensation expense on the straight-line basis over the vesting period. The Company recognizes the fair value of stock-based compensation within its Statements of Operations with classification depending on the nature of the services rendered.

 

The fair value of each option or warrant grant is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company was a private company as of March 31, 2023 and prior and lacked company-specific historical and implied volatility information. Therefore, it estimated its expected stock volatility based on the historical volatility of a publicly traded set of peer companies within the agriculture technology industry with characteristics similar to the Company. The expected term of the Company’s stock options has been determined utilizing the “simplified” method for awards that qualify as “plain-vanilla” options. The expected term of stock options granted to non-employees is equal to the contractual term of the option award. The risk-free interest rate is determined by reference to the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant of the award for time periods approximately equal to the expected term of the award. Expected dividend yield is zero, based on the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends and does not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

F-8
 

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, common shares of the Company were not publicly traded. As such, during the period, the Company estimated the fair value of common stock using an appropriate valuation methodology, in accordance with the framework of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ Technical Practice Aid, Valuation of Privately-Held Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation. Each valuation methodology includes estimates and assumptions that require the Company’s judgment. These estimates and assumptions include a number of objective and subjective factors, including external market conditions, guideline public company information, the prices at which the Company sold its common stock to third parties in arms’ length transactions, the rights and preferences of securities senior to the Company’s common stock at the time, and the likelihood of achieving a liquidity event such as an initial public offering or sale. Significant changes to the assumptions used in the valuations could result in different fair values of stock options at each valuation date, as applicable.

 

 i 

Research and Development

 

Research and development costs include advisors, consultants, legal, software licensing, product design and development, data monitoring and collection, field trial installations, and travel related expenses. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, research and development costs were approximately $ i 403,000 and $ i 645,000, respectively.

 

 / 
 i 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company uses various inputs in determining the fair value of its financial assets and liabilities and measures these assets on a recurring basis. Financial assets recorded at fair value are categorized by the level of subjectivity associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. ASC 820 defines the following levels of subjectivity associated with the inputs:

 

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2—Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly.

Level 3—Unobservable inputs based on the Company’s assumptions.

 

The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and patent purchase obligation approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying values of loan and convertible notes payables approximate their fair values because interest rates on these obligations are based on prevailing market interest rates.

 

 i 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In In September 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 requires entities to use a forward-looking approach based on current expected credit losses (“CECL”) to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables. This may result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2023, and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not believe the potential impact of the new guidance and related codification improvements will be material to its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

 

F-9
 

 

In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04 “Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation— Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815- 40) Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options” (“ASU 2021-04”). ASU 2021-04 provides guidance as to how an issuer should account for a modification of the terms or conditions or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option (i.e., a warrant) that remains equity classified after modification or exchange as an exchange of the original instrument for a new instrument. An issuer should measure the effect of a modification or exchange as the difference between the fair value of the modified or exchanged warrant and the fair value of that warrant immediately before modification or exchange and then apply a recognition model that comprises four categories of transactions and the corresponding accounting treatment for each category (equity issuance, debt origination, debt modification, and modifications unrelated to equity issuance and debt origination or modification). ASU 2021-04 is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. An entity should apply the guidance provided in ASU 2021-04 prospectively to modifications or exchanges occurring on or after the effective date. The Company adopted ASU 2021-04 effective January 1, 2022. The adoption of ASU 2021-04 did not have any impact on the Company’s financial statement presentation or disclosures.

 

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.

 

 i 

Concentration Risks

 

Cash includes cash on hand and cash in banks and are reported as “Cash” in the balance sheets. The balance of cash on hand is not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The balance of cash in banks is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation for up to $ i 250,000.

Three customers accounted for  i 58%,  i 21%, and  i 17% of the Company’s sales during the three months ended March 31, 2023. Three customers accounted for  i 70%,  i 20%, and  i 10% of the Company’s sales during the year ended March 31, 2022. No other customers accounted for sales in excess of  i  i 10 / % for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

Segment Reporting

 

The Company operates in one segment for the manufacture and distribution of our products. In accordance with the “Segment Reporting” Topic of the ASC, the Company’s chief operating decision maker has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer and President, who reviews operating results to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire Company. Existing guidance, which is based on a management approach to segment reporting, establishes requirements to report selected segment information quarterly and to report annually entity-wide disclosures about products and services, major customers, and the countries in which the entity holds material assets and reports revenue. All material operating units qualify for aggregation under “Segment Reporting” due to their similar customer base and similarities in: economic characteristics; nature of products and services; and procurement, manufacturing and distribution processes. Since the Company operates in one segment, all financial information required by “Segment Reporting” can be found in the accompanying financial statements.

(a)Senior Convertible Notes and Warrants

 

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company sold approximately $ i 3,591,000 of Senior Convertible Promissory Notes (the “Notes”) and  i 2,437,012 warrants (the “Warrants”). The Notes accrue interest at a rate of twelve percent ( i 12%) per annum.

 

F-11
 

 

The holder of the Warrants shall have the right to purchase up to the number of shares that equals the quotient obtained by dividing: (i) the Warrant Coverage Amount, by (ii) the Conversion Price. The “Warrant Coverage Amount” shall mean the amount obtained by multiplying: (A) one hundred percent (100%); by (B) aggregate principal amount of the Holder’s Note(s). The conversion price in effect on any Conversion Date shall be equal to  i 80% of the offering price per share of common stock in our initial public offering.

 

Each Note is convertible, in the sole discretion of the holder of the Note, into shares of our common stock at a purchase price equal to  i 80% of the offering price of the initial public offering price currently estimated to be $ i 4.00 per share. In the event that the initial public offering is not consummated within 12 months of the date of this Note, then the Conversion Price shall be equal to  i 65% of the offering price per share of common stock in the initial public offering.

Note 8 – Commitment and Contingencies

 

We are engaged from time to time in the defense of lawsuits arising out of the ordinary course and conduct of our business. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry, or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of our Company or our subsidiary, threatened against our Company, our common stock, our subsidiary or of our Company or our subsidiary’s officers or directors in their capacities as such.

 

Litigation against Jonathan Destler, our former Chief Executive Officer and former director, and Don Danks, a former director

 

On September 30, 2022, a Complaint (the “Complaint”), captioned Securities and Exchange Commission vs. David Stephens, Donald Linn Danks, Jonathan Destler and Robert Lazarus, and Daniel Solomita and 8198381 Canada, Inc., as relief defendants, Case No. ‘22CV1483AJB DEB, was filed in the United States District Court, Southern District of California. In general, the Complaint alleges that Jonathan Destler, a co-founder and our former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and a current employee, and Donald Danks, a co-founder, former director, and a former employee, were part of a control group that committed securities fraud in connection with the purchase and sale of securities of Loop Industries, Inc., a Nasdaq-listed company.

 

On November 22, 2022, an Indictment (the “Indictment”), captioned United States of America v. David Stephens, Donald Danks, Jonathan Destler and Robert Lazarus, Case No. ‘22CR2701 BAS, was filed in the United States District Court, Southern District of California. In general, the Indictment alleges that Mr. Destler and Mr. Danks conspired to and committed securities fraud, based on the same allegations in the Complaint. The indictment also alleges that Donald Danks engaged in money laundering.

 

F-17
 

 

Furthermore, the Complaint and the Indictment allege that Mr. Destler and Mr. Danks were part of a control group consisting of four other persons (David Stephens, Jonathan Destler, Don Danks and Robert Lazarus) who used a third person to make an unregistered offering of securities. The third person is a deceased former-stockholder of Opti-Harvest, whose Opti-Harvest shares are now held by his estate.

 

Mr. Destler is currently our key employee with respect to our business development because of his material role marketing selling our products. Additionally, the Voting Trust Agreement with Mr. Destler terminates on the first to occur of (i) final disposition of the proceedings related to the Complaint and the Indictment, or (ii) mutual agreement of Opti-Harvest and Mr. Destler. If Mr. Destler loses his criminal litigation, it is possible that Mr. Destler could be incarcerated, in which case our marketing and sales could suffer because of his inability to communicate with potential new and existing customers. Furthermore, final disposition of the proceedings related to the Complaint and the Indictment could possibly also mean that Mr. Destler would have voting control over us while being incarcerated. In such event, Mr. Destler’s separation from daily business activities could cause him to make voting decisions without the knowledge of our daily operations that he has today.

 

Transfer of Voting Control of Mr. Destler’s Opti-Harvest Shares to Opti-Harvest

 

Although Mr. Destler (and Mr. Danks, who on January 9, 2023, resigned as an employee of Opti-Harvest) have denied to Opti-Harvest the claims made against them in the Complaint and the Indictment, Mr. Destler agreed to resign his positions as a director, Chief Executive Officer, President and Secretary with Opti-Harvest, and transfer voting control (while retaining ownership) of his shares of common stock and Series A Preferred Stock, to the board of directors of Opti-Harvest. Accordingly, Jeffrey Klausner, Opti-Harvest’s, sole director is the sole trustee of a Voting Trust Agreement, dated December 23, 2022, by and among Opti-Harvest, Inc., Mr. Destler, entities Mr. Destler controls, Mr. Destler’s spouse, and Mr. Klausner, pursuant to which Mr. Klausner, on behalf of Opti-Harvest, votes Mr. Destler’s shares of common stock and Series A Preferred Stock.

 

It should be noted that the term “Trust” in the title Voting Trust Agreement is used for naming convention only, and no trust, as an entity, has been created in connection with the Voting Trust Agreement. Accordingly, Mr. Klausner, as the trustee under the Voting Trust, does not owe any fiduciary duty to Mr. Destler, his affiliated entities, or his spouse, under the Voting Trust Agreement. Mr. Klausner’s sole duty under the Voting Trust Agreement is to vote Mr. Destler’s beneficial ownership in Opti-Harvest securities.

 

Under the Voting Trust Agreement, Mr. Destler had agreed and consented to the appointment of any member of our board of directors to be appointed a trustee under the Voting Trust Agreement. Therefore, future members of our board of directors may become a trustee under the Voting Trust Agreement. Whether any future member of our board of directors may become a trustee under the Voting Trust Agreement would depend on whether any such new director would want to and agree to becoming a trustee under the Voting Trust Agreement.

 

The Voting Trust Agreement terminates on the first to occur of (i) final disposition of the proceedings related to the Complaint and the Indictment, or (ii) mutual agreement of Opti-Harvest and Mr. Destler.

Recent Events

 

Litigation against Jonathan Destler, our former Chief Executive Officer and former director, and Don Danks, a former director

 

On September 30, 2022, a Complaint (the “Complaint”), captioned Securities and Exchange Commission vs. David Stephens, Donald Linn Danks, Jonathan Destler and Robert Lazarus, and Daniel Solomita and 8198381 Canada, Inc., as relief defendants, Case No. ‘22CV1483AJB DEB, was filed in the United States District Court, Southern District of California. In general, the Complaint alleges that Jonathan Destler, a co-founder and our former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and current employee, and Donald Danks, a co-founder, former director, and former employee, were part of a control group that committed securities fraud in connection with the purchase and sale of securities of Loop Industries, Inc., a Nasdaq-listed company.

 

On November 22, 2022, an Indictment (the “Indictment”), captioned United States of America v. David Stephens, Donald Danks, Jonathan Destler and Robert Lazarus, Case No. ‘22CR2701 BAS, was filed in the United States District Court, Southern District of California. In general, the Indictment alleges that Mr. Destler and Mr. Danks conspired to and committed securities fraud, based on the same allegations in the Complaint. The indictment also alleges that Donald Danks engaged in money laundering.

 

Furthermore, the Complaint and the Indictment allege that Mr. Destler and Mr. Danks were part of a control group consisting of four other persons (David Stephens, Jonathan Destler, Don Danks and Robert Lazarus) who used a third person to make an unregistered offering of securities. The third person is a deceased former-stockholder of Opti-Harvest, whose Opti-Harvest shares are now held by his estate.

 

Transfer of Voting Control of Mr. Destler’s Opti-Harvest Shares to Opti-Harvest

 

Although Mr. Destler (and Mr. Danks, who on January 9, 2023, resigned as an employee of Opti-Harvest) have denied to Opti-Harvest the claims made against them in the Complaint and the Indictment, Mr. Destler agreed to resign his positions as a director, Chief Executive Officer, President and Secretary with Opti-Harvest, and transfer voting control (while retaining ownership) of his shares of common stock and Series A Preferred Stock, to the board of directors of Opti-Harvest. Accordingly, Jeffrey Klausner, Opti-Harvest’s, sole director is the sole trustee of a Voting Trust Agreement, dated December 23, 2022, by and among Opti-Harvest, Inc., Mr. Destler, entities Mr. Destler controls, Mr. Destler’s spouse, and Mr. Klausner, pursuant to which Mr. Klausner, on behalf of Opti-Harvest, votes Mr. Destler’s shares of common stock and Series A Preferred Stock.

 

It should be noted that the term “Trust” in the title Voting Trust Agreement is used for naming convention only, and no trust, as an entity, has been created in connection with the Voting Trust Agreement. Accordingly, Mr. Klausner, as the trustee under the Voting Trust, does not owe any fiduciary duty to Mr. Destler, his affiliated entities, or his spouse, under the Voting Trust Agreement. Mr. Klausner’s sole duty under the Voting Trust Agreement is to vote Mr. Destler’s beneficial ownership in Opti-Harvest securities.

 

Under the Voting Trust Agreement, Mr. Destler had agreed and consented to the appointment of any member of our board of directors to be appointed a trustee under the Voting Trust Agreement. Therefore, future members of our board of directors may become a trustee under the Voting Trust Agreement. Whether any future member of our board of directors may become a trustee under the Voting Trust Agreement would depend on whether any such new director would want to and agree to becoming a trustee under the Voting Trust Agreement.

The Voting Trust Agreement terminates on the first to occur of (i) final disposition of the proceedings related to the Complaint and the Indictment, or (ii) mutual agreement of Opti-Harvest and Mr. Destler.

 

Opti-Harvest Internal Investigation

 

The filing of the Complaint and the Indictment caused our board of directors to ask external legal counsel, who is also counsel to Opti-Harvest in its initial public offering, to conduct an investigation to determine whether Mr. Destler and/or Mr. Danks have any plan, agreement, arrangement or understanding to commit any act which could be construed as securities fraud in connection with Opti-Harvest and its initial public offering. Our legal counsel conducted an internal investigation into whether any officer, director or employee of Opti-Harvest has, or is aware of, any plan, agreement, arrangement or understanding to (i) manipulate the price or trading volume of common stock or other securities of Opti-Harvest, or (ii) publish or otherwise disseminate false, untrue, or misleading information, or information with material omissions of fact, about or otherwise regarding Opti-Harvest. Our legal counsel concluded, based verbal interviews with Mr. Destler, Mr. Danks, and each officer and director of Opti-Harvest, and based on written responses from each of officers, our director and our employees (including Mr. Destler and Mr. Danks), that there does not exist any plan, agreement, arrangement or understanding to (i) manipulate the price or trading volume of common stock or other securities of Opti-Harvest, or (ii) publish or otherwise disseminate false, untrue, or misleading information, or information with material omissions of fact, about or otherwise regarding Opti-Harvest.

 

Appointment of Geoffrey Andersen as Chief Executive Officer

 

In connection with the filing of the Complaint and the Indictment, and the agreement of Mr. Destler to transfer voting control of his voting securities of Opti-Harvest to Mr. Klausner under the Voting Trust Agreement, our board of directors appointed Geoffrey Andersen as our Chief Executive Officer, effective December 8, 2022. Mr. Andersen had previously, since July 14, 2021, served as a member of our Advisory Board. In his advisory capacity to us, Mr. Andersen worked closely with Opti-Harvest on all facets of growing our business and strategy, including government relations, building financial models, product development, technology development, marketing, and general business strategy, which allowed Mr. Andersen to not only garner a great deal of information about, and be part of, our business and operations, but to also be the lightning rod for our long-term business strategy. This and his 25-year career serving in multiple leadership and business development roles at agriculture-related businesses, led to the board of directors asking Mr. Andersen to serve as our Chief Executive Officer, which he has agreed to do, for a term of two years, stating that he believed in the viability of our business.

 

Business Overview

 

Opti-Harvest is an agricultural innovation company with products backed by a portfolio of patented and patent pending technologies focused on solving several critical challenges faced by agribusinesses: maximizing crop yield, accelerating crop growth, optimizing land and water resources, reducing labor costs and mitigating negative environmental impacts.

 

Our advanced agriculture technology (Opti-Filter™) and precision farming (Opti-View™) platforms, enable commercial growers and home gardeners to harness, optimize and better utilize sunlight, the planet’s most fundamental and renewable natural resource.

 

Our sustainable agricultural technology platform is powered by the sun. It maximizes a free and renewable resource with no need for additional chemicals or fertilizers.

 

From inception in 2016 through the present date, we have made substantial investments in building our intellectual property portfolio, developing, and optimizing our product designs, and conducting over 65 multi-year field trials to test and measure the effectiveness of our products. Based on our field trials and the positive feedback from our partners, we began commercializing our Opti-Gro and ChromaGro products in the first half of 2021, our Opti-Shield and Opti-Panel products late in the first half of 2022, and we plan to commercialize our Opti-Skylight products in the first half of 2023. Our Opti-View product is currently in our research and development phase with an anticipated commercial offering in the second half of 2023. We remain focused on developing new products and enhancing existing products.

With the recent commercialization of several of our products, we are making significant investments in sales and marketing, tooling to manufacture our products, and infrastructure investments to meet planned customer demand. We will also incur additional expenses generally associated with being a publicly traded company, including the cost of regulatory compliance, director fees, insurances, investor relations, upgraded systems, and enhanced internal controls.

 

Recent Trends - Market Conditions

 

During the period ended March 31, 2023, the COVID-19 pandemic continued to impact our operating results and the Company anticipates a residual effect for the balance of the year. In addition, the pandemic could cause reduced demand for our products if, for example, the pandemic results in a recessionary economic environment which negatively effects the consumers who purchase our products. Based on the recent increase in demand for our products, we believe that over the long term, there will continue to be strong demand for our products.

 

Although the U.S. economy continued to grow during the first half of 2022, the continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, higher inflation, the actions by the Federal Reserve to address inflation, and rising energy prices create uncertainty about the future economic environment which will continue to evolve and may impact our business in future periods. We have experienced supply chain challenges, including increased lead times, as well as inflation of raw materials, logistics and labor costs due to availability constraints and high demand. Although we regularly monitor companies in our supply chain, and use alternative suppliers when necessary and available, supply chain constraints could cause a disruption in our ability to obtain raw materials required to manufacture our products and adversely affect our operations. We expect the inflationary trends and supply chain pressures to continue throughout the remainder of 2023.

 

Through March 31, 2023, the Company experienced elevated freight costs as a result of a higher transportation market as the capacity in the freight market has not kept up with demand. The Company believes these challenges will continue throughout the year. In addition, the Company experienced increases in the pricing of its raw materials and delays in procuring raw materials. The disruption caused by labor shortages, significant raw material cost inflation, logistics issues and increased freight costs, and ongoing port congestion, resulted in suppressed margins. The Company anticipates a continued impact throughout 2023.

 

Our ability to operate without significant incremental negative operational impact from the COVID-19 pandemic will in part depend on our ability to protect our employees and protect our supply chain. The Company has endeavored to follow the recommended actions of government and health authorities to protect our employees. Since the inception of the COVID-19 pandemic and through March 31, 2023, we maintained the consistency of our operations during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. We will continue to innovate in managing our business, coordinating with our employees and suppliers to do our part in the infection prevention and remain flexible in responding to our customers and suppliers. However, the uncertainty resulting from the pandemic could result in an unforeseen disruption to our workforce and supply chain (for example an inability of a key supplier or transportation supplier to source and transport materials) that could negatively impact our operations.

 

We have not observed any material impairments of our assets or a significant change in the fair value of our assets due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022

 

Revenues

 

Our revenues were $24,000 and $1,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Beginning in second half of 2022, we began offering our customers the option to rent our products for a monthly fee per unit, generating $19,000, or 79% of our revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Cost of Revenues

 

Cost of revenues represent the cost to manufacture our products sold, depreciation expense related to our rental equipment sales, and changes in our inventory reserves. Cost of revenues was $23,000 and $1,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Operating expenses include selling, general and administrative expenses, research and development costs, and impairment of rental equipment costs.

 

Our selling, general and administrative expenses increased approximately $84,000 to $2.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to increased stock-based compensation expenses of $160,000 offset by a $91,000 decrease in marketing expenses. The remaining increase in our selling, general and administrative expenses of $15,000 was from routine fluctuations in our operating accounts to support our operations.

 

Research and development costs include advisors, consultants, software licensing, product design and development, data monitoring and collection, field trial installations, and travel related expenses. Research and development expenses decreased approximately $242,000 to $403,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $645,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease in research and development costs was primarily due to decreased field trial and product development costs, as compared to the prior year period.

 

Loss from Operations

 

Loss from operations increased to approximately $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to a loss from operations of $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease in loss from operations was due to primarily to our increase in revenue and decreased operating expenses as discussed above.

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense decreased $667,000 to $189,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $856,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease in interest expense was from a $681,000 decrease in debt discount amortization compared to the prior year period, offset by an increase in interest expense of $14,000 due to increased debt balances as compared to the prior year period.

 

Net Loss

 

Net loss decreased $826,000 to $2.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease in net loss was due to our increased revenue, decreased operating expenses and decreased interest expense, as discussed above.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, during the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recorded a net loss of $2.9 million, used cash in operations of $736,000, and had a stockholders’ deficit of $5.6 million at March 31, 2023. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date of the financial statements being issued.

 

The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to raise additional funds and implement our business plan. As a result, management has concluded that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our independent registered public accounting firm, in its report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, has also expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.

At March 31, 2023, we had cash on hand in the amount of $12,000. Subsequent to March 31, 2023, we received proceeds of $405,000 on the sale of promissory notes and a $20,000 advanced from a related party (see Note 10 of the accompanying financial statements). The Company believes it has enough cash to sustain operations through May 31, 2023. Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain necessary debt or equity financing to continue operations until it begins generating positive cash flow. No assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to us. Even if we are able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on our operations, in the case of debt financing or cause substantial dilution for our stockholders, in the case or equity financing.

 

The following table summarizes our cash flows for the periods indicated (amounts are rounded to nearest thousands):

 

  

Three Months Ended

March 31,

 
   2023   2022 
         
Net cash provided by (used in):

Financing activities   576,000    97,000 
Net decrease in cash  $(160,000)  $(1,028,000)

 

Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023, totaled $736,000, compared to net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 of $1.1 million. Net cash used in operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023, was $736,000, and was to fund our net loss of $2.9 million, offset by $141,000 of depreciation expense, $69,000 of debt discount amortization, $1.5 million of stock-based compensation expense, and $447,000 of changes in our operating accounts. Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022, was to fund our net loss of $3.7 million, offset by $124,000 of depreciation expenses, $750,000 of debt discount amortization, $1.3 million of stock-based compensation expense, and $389,000 of changes in our operating accounts.

 

We had no cash flows from investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2023. Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $9,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, and was for the purchase of property and equipment.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023, was approximately $576,000, which included proceeds of $114,000 on the exercise of warrants, proceeds of approximately $460,000 received on the issuance of notes payable, a $5,000 related party advance, offset by the repayment of $3,000 of a loan payable. Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022, was approximately $97,000, which included proceeds of $126,000 on the exercise of warrants, changes in our deferred offering costs of $27,000, and repayments of $2,000 of a loan payable.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company did not have any transactions, obligations or relationships that could be considered off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Senior Convertible Notes and Warrants

 

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company sold approximately $3,591,000 of Senior Convertible Promissory Notes (the “Notes”) and 2,437,012 warrants (the “Warrants”). The Notes accrue interest at a rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum.

 

5
 

 

The holder of the Warrants shall have the right to purchase up to the number of shares that equals the quotient obtained by dividing: (i) the Warrant Coverage Amount, by (ii) the Conversion Price. The “Warrant Coverage Amount” shall mean the amount obtained by multiplying: (A) one hundred percent (100%); by (B) aggregate principal amount of the Holder’s Note(s). The conversion price in effect on any Conversion Date shall be equal to 80% of the offering price per share of common stock in our initial public offering.

 

Each Note is convertible, in the sole discretion of the holder of the Note, into shares of our common stock at a purchase price equal to 80% of the offering price of the initial public offering price currently estimated to be $4.00 per share. In the event that the initial public offering is not consummated within 12 months of the date of this Note, then the Conversion Price shall be equal to 65% of the offering price per share of common stock in the initial public offering. In the event that the initial public offering is not consummated within 24 months of the date of this Note, then the Conversion Price shall be equal to 50% of the offering price per share of common stock in the initial public offering. Each Note, issued at an original issue discount of 15%, carries interest at a rate of 12% per annum, and any interest payable under the Note shall automatically accrue and be capitalized to the principal amount of the Note, and shall thereafter be deemed to be a part of the principal amount of the Note, unless such interest is paid in cash on or prior to the maturity date of the Note.

 

The Notes mature 12 months from the date of the Notes, provided, however, that noteholders have the right to call the Notes prior to maturity starting from the earlier of (i) the consummation of the first underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, covering the offer and sale by the Company of not less than $10 million of its equity securities, as a result of or following which common stock shall be listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market, and (ii) December 15, 2021. Additionally, each Warrant contains a cashless exercise provision, which is effective if the shares underlying the Warrant are not covered by a registration statement 6 months from the date of issuance of the Warrant.

Convertible Promissory Notes and Warrants

 

In January and February 2023, the Company sold $250,000 of Convertible Promissory Notes (the “Notes”) and 42,413 warrants (the “Warrants”). The Notes will accrue interest at a rate of ten percent (10%) per annum. The outstanding principal amount of this Notes, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, shall be due and payable on the date that is 12 months from the date of the Notes (the “Initial Maturity Date”); provided, however, that the Company may, at its option, extend such maturity date an additional six (6) months (such option, the “Extension Option” and such extended maturity date, (the “Extended Maturity Date”). The date on which this Note matures, whether the Initial Maturity Date or the Extended Maturity Date, is the “Maturity Date.” The principal amount of this Note shall be subject to increase as follows:

 

(a) If a Qualified Public Offering does not occur before the Initial Maturity Date, the outstanding principal balance of this Note shall be increased by an amount equal to 10% of the outstanding principal balance of this Note on the Initial Maturity Date (the “Premium”).

 

(b) If the Company exercises its Extension Option and a Qualified Public Offering does not occur before the Extended Maturity Date, the outstanding principal balance due and payable to the Lender shall be increased by the Premium plus an additional 2.5% of the outstanding principal balance of the Note as of the Extended Maturity Date.

 

(c) As used herein, “Qualified Public Offering” means the issuance and sale of shares of comment stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) to investors in an underwritten public offering or a direct listing by the Company of its Common Stock, in either case pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

In the event the Company consummates a Qualified Public Offering, Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, at any time prior to the Maturity Date or earlier repayment of this Note, to convert all, or any portion, of the outstanding principal balance of this Note into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price equal to 80% of the price at which shares of Common Stock are first sold to the public in a Qualified Public Offering. Upon conversion, the Company will pay all accrued but unpaid interest on this Note in cash. An election to convert the Note shall be made in writing and delivered to the Company no later than five (5) days before the Maturity Date; provided, however, that if the Qualified Public Offering is consummated within five (5) days before the Maturity Date, the notice of election will be delivered no later than five (5) days after the date on which such Qualified Public Offering is consummated.

 

The Holder shall have the right to purchase up to the number of Shares that equals the amount obtained by dividing: (A) eighty percent (80%) of the aggregate principal amount of the Holder’s Note(s) delivered pursuant to the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement; by (B) 80% of $4.00, the current midpoint price of the Company’s prospective IPO. For example, $100,000 aggregate principal amount of Note x 80% = $80,000) / ($4.00 current midpoint price of prospective IPO x 80% = $3.20) = 25,000 warrants. The exercise price per share shall be equal to 80% of the offering price per share of common stock of the Company in its first underwritten public offering (the “IPO”) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, covering the offer and sale by the Company of not less than $10,000,000 of its equity securities, as a result of or following which the Company shall be a reporting issuer under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and its common stock shall be listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market. This Warrant shall be exercisable, in whole or in part: (i) after the earlier to occur of: (A) the consummation of the IPO; or (B) six months after the date of this Warrant; and (ii) prior to the Warrant expiration date which is twelve months after the date of this Warrant.

 

The total of the allocated relative fair value of warrants issued of $110,000 were capitalized and recorded as a debt discount and are amortized over the remaining life of the Notes. Amortization of debt discount was approximately $24,000 for the three months March 31, 2023, which was recorded as a component of interest expense in the accompanying statement of operations, leaving a $86,000 unamortized debt discount balance at March 31, 2023.

The Company shall issue 20,000 shares of common stock of the Company for each $100,000 invested by an Investor, provided, however, that if an Investor invests a sum of funds which does not round to $100,000, the Company shall issue to such Investor Shares on a pro rata basis, based on an issuance of 20,000 Shares for each $100,000 invested. If the company enters into a subsequent financing with another individual or entity (a “Third Party”) on terms that are more favorable to the Third Party, the agreements between the company and the Investors shall be amended to include such better terms so long as the Notes are outstanding.

Earnout and Royalty Obligations

 

On April 7, 2017, we and DisperSolar LLC (the “Seller”), a California limited liability company, entered into a Patent Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which we acquired certain patents (intellectual property) of the Seller (see Note 7 of the accompanying financial statements). The Seller developed the patents for harvesting, transmission, spectral modification and delivery of sunlight to shaded areas of plants.

 

Under the Agreement, the Company agreed to pay the following for the acquisition of Seller’s intellectual property:

 

  (i) Initial Payment: $150,000 deposited into the Seller Account within 10 days of the Effective Date (the “Initial Payment”).

  (iii) Earnout Payments: $800,000 paid on the on-going basis at a rate of 50% of gross margin and/or License Revenue from the date of the first commercial sale of a Covered Product or the first receipt by Purchaser of License Revenue, until the aggregate combined Gross Margin and License Revenue reach $1,600,000.

 

On December 6, 2018, we and Seller amended the Agreement by increasing the Milestone Payments from $350,000 to $450,000. The $100,000 increase in Milestone Payments was paid in 2019.

 

As of March 31, 2023, we had an $800,000 earnout obligation payable on the on-going basis at a rate of 50% of gross margin and/or license revenue from the date of the first commercial sale of a covered product or the first receipt by purchaser of license revenue, until the aggregate combined gross margin and license revenue reach $1.6 million.

 

We will pay to Seller royalties as follows:

 

  (i) Following the recognition by us of the first $1.6 million in aggregate combined gross margin and license revenue, and until we pay to Seller an aggregate amount in royalties of $30 million, we shall pay to Seller royalties on sales of covered products at a rate of 8% of gross margin.
     
  (ii) Once we paid to Seller an aggregate amount in royalties of $30 million, we shall pay to Seller royalties on sales of covered products at a rate of 4.75% of gross margin until the earlier of (x) such time as covered products are not covered by any claims of any assigned patent, and (y) the date of the consummation of a strategic transaction.

 

As of March 31, 2023, the Company recorded no earnout or royalty payment obligations as no gross margin was realized.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Some of those judgments can be subjective and complex, and therefore, actual results could differ materially from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Management regularly evaluates the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimates utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances, historical experience and reasonable assumptions. After such evaluations, if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include those related to assumptions used in estimates for reserves of uncollectible accounts, , depreciable lives of property and equipment, analysis of impairments of recorded long-term tangible and intangible assets, realization of deferred tax assets, accruals for potential liabilities and assumptions made in valuing stock instruments issued for services. There were no changes to our critical accounting policies described in the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, that impacted our condensed financial statements and related notes included herein.

See Note 2 of the Notes to Condensed Financial Statements for a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

As a smaller reporting company (as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act), we are not required to provide the information called for by this Item 3.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure control and Procedures

 

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2023, the period covered in this Report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2023, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

Inherent Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

 

Management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control systems are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, no evaluation of internal control over financial reporting can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been or will be detected.

 

11
 

 

These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.

 

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

We are engaged from time to time in the defense of lawsuits arising out of the ordinary course and conduct of our business. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry, or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of our Company or our subsidiary, threatened against our Company, our common stock, our subsidiary or of our Company or our subsidiary’s officers or directors in their capacities as such.

 

Litigation against Jonathan Destler, our former Chief Executive Officer and former director, and Don Danks, a former director

 

On September 30, 2022, a Complaint (the “Complaint”), captioned Securities and Exchange Commission vs. David Stephens, Donald Linn Danks, Jonathan Destler and Robert Lazarus, and Daniel Solomita and 8198381 Canada, Inc., as relief defendants, Case No. ‘22CV1483AJB DEB, was filed in the United States District Court, Southern District of California. In general, the Complaint alleges that Jonathan Destler, a co-founder and our former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and a current employee, and Donald Danks, a co-founder, former director, and a former employee, were part of a control group that committed securities fraud in connection with the purchase and sale of securities of Loop Industries, Inc., a Nasdaq-listed company.

 

On November 22, 2022, an Indictment (the “Indictment”), captioned United States of America v. David Stephens, Donald Danks, Jonathan Destler and Robert Lazarus, Case No. ‘22CR2701 BAS, was filed in the United States District Court, Southern District of California. In general, the Indictment alleges that Mr. Destler and Mr. Danks conspired to and committed securities fraud, based on the same allegations in the Complaint. The indictment also alleges that Donald Danks engaged in money laundering.

 

Furthermore, the Complaint and the Indictment allege that Mr. Destler and Mr. Danks were part of a control group consisting of four other persons (David Stephens, Jonathan Destler, Don Danks and Robert Lazarus) who used a third person to make an unregistered offering of securities. The third person is a deceased former-stockholder of Opti-Harvest, whose Opti-Harvest shares are now held by his estate.

 

Mr. Destler is currently our key employee with respect to our business development because of his material role marketing selling our products. Additionally, the Voting Trust Agreement with Mr. Destler terminates on the first to occur of (i) final disposition of the proceedings related to the Complaint and the Indictment, or (ii) mutual agreement of Opti-Harvest and Mr. Destler. If Mr. Destler loses his criminal litigation, it is possible that Mr. Destler could be incarcerated, in which case our marketing and sales could suffer because of his inability to communicate with potential new and existing customers. Furthermore, final disposition of the proceedings related to the Complaint and the Indictment could possibly also mean that Mr. Destler would have voting control over us while being incarcerated. In such event, Mr. Destler’s separation from daily business activities could cause him to make voting decisions without the knowledge of our daily operations that he has today.
