Bimergen Energy Corp: Form 10-Q for the period ended Sep 30, 2024

This management discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) of the financial condition and results of operations of Bitech Technologies Corporation (the “Company,” “Bitech Technologies,” “our” or “we”) is for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. It is supplemental to, and should be read in conjunction with, our condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 and the accompanying notes for such period included in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, on April 4, 2022. Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Financial information presented in this MD&A is presented in United States dollars (“$” or “US$”), unless otherwise indicated.

The information about us provided in this MD&A, including information incorporated by reference, may contain “forward-looking statements” and certain “forward-looking information” as defined under applicable United States securities laws and Canadian securities laws. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, made by us that address activities, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, statements preceded by, followed by or that include words such as “may”, “will”, “would”, “could”, “should”, “believes”, “estimates”, “projects”, “potential”, “expects”, “plans”, “intends”, “anticipates”, “targeted”, “continues”, “forecasts”, “designed”, “goal”, or the negative of those words or other similar or comparable words and includes, among others, information regarding: our ability to become profitable and generate cash in our operating activities; our need for substantial additional financing to operate our business and difficulties we may face acquiring additional financing on terms acceptable to us or at all; our significant indebtedness and significant restrictions on our operations; the risk that the BESS and Solar Development Projects discussed below (the “Development Projects”) may not be completed, will be materially delayed or will be more costly or difficult than expected or that the Company is otherwise unable to successfully complete the Development Projects; (iii) the failure to obtain the necessary approvals and consents to complete the Development Projects, regulatory, or any other consents required to complete the projects; our ability to obtain required governmental approvals to complete the Development Projects (and the risk that such approvals may result in the imposition of conditions that could adversely affect the Company or the expected benefits of the Acquisition discussed below); the Company’s ability to fund the costs required to complete the Development Projects; the impact of global climate change on our ability to conduct future operations; our dependence on key inputs, suppliers and skilled labor to complete construction of the Development Projects and acquire equipment for the operation of the proposed Development Projects; our ability to attract and retain key personnel; growth-related risks, including capacity constraints and pressure on our internal systems and controls; risk related to the protection of our intellectual property and our exposure to infringement or misappropriation claims by third parties; risks related to competition; risks related to our lack of internal controls over financial reporting and their effectiveness; increased costs we are subject to as a result of being a public company in the United States; and other events or conditions that may occur in the future.

Forward-looking statements may relate to future financial conditions, results of operations, plans, objectives, performance or business developments. These statements speak only as at the date they are made and are based on information currently available and on the then current expectations of the party making the statement and assumptions concerning future events, which are subject to a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from that which was expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, risks and uncertainties described in “Risk Factors.”

Although we believe that the expectations and assumptions on which such forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on the forward-looking statements, because no assurance can be given that they will prove to be correct. Since forward-looking statements address future events and conditions, by their very nature, they involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those currently anticipated due to a number of factors and risks. These include, but are not limited to the risks described in “Risk Factors.”

Consequently, all forward-looking statements made in this MD&A and other documents, as applicable, are qualified by such cautionary statements, and there can be no assurance that the anticipated results or developments will actually be realized or, even if realized, that they will have the expected consequences to or effects on us. The cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section should be considered in connection with any subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements that we and/or persons acting on its behalf may issue. We do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, other than as required under securities legislation.

Overview of the Business

Currently, we have refocused our business development plans as we seek to position ourselves as a global technology solution enabler dedicated to providing a suite of green energy solutions with plans to develop Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) projects, commercial and residential renewable energy solutions, enterprise utility services, public service engagements, and other renewable energy initiatives. We plan to pursue these innovative energy technologies and become a grid-balancing operator by developing a portfolio of battery energy storage system (“BESS”) projects with a cumulative storage capacity estimated at 1.965 gigawatts (“GW”) and rights to develop a portfolio of solar energy development projects with a cumulative capacity estimated at 3.840 GW (collectively, the “Development Projects”) that we acquired in connection with our acquisition of Emergen Energy LLC (“Emergen”). See Note 8 – Solar Projects Sale to the financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q discussing the recent sale of 2.425 GW estimated capacity of the 3.84 solar energy development projects. We plan to raise the working capital we need to commence the Development Projects. See Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources. In addition, our team has identified two highly competitive battery energy storage suppliers who have expressed interest in establishing partnerships with us, as we seek to integrate their products into our recently acquired Development Projects. In addition, we are seeking business partnerships with defensible technology innovators and renewable energy providers to facilitate investments, provide new market entries toward emerging-growth regions and implement innovative, scalable energy system solutions with technological focuses on smart grid, Home Energy Management System (HEMS), Building Energy Management System (BEMS), City Energy Management System (CEMS), energy storage, and EV infrastructure.

To accelerate growth of a planned intellectual property (IP) portfolio through acquisition strategies, we plan to execute our Smart Acquisition Model with selected acquisitions of defensible technologies accompanied with visionary management teams who can demonstrate a common goal with us in order to unlock the full potential with capital infusion, accelerate growth. To achieve our development plans, we plan to incubate those acquired companies toward foreseeable plans for mergers and acquisitions, formation of global joint ventures, while facilitating new market entry to today’s fastest growing Southeast Asia region. With this acquisition model, we expect to build a valuable technology portfolio of IP assets in various innovative green energy technologies, leveraging our network of global capital partners with low-cost manufacturing capacity and oversea outsourcing technical talents from our niche sources in Vietnam.

Further, we plan to execute a Dual Growth Business Model encompassing (1) IP portfolio growth which includes technology licensing or technology acquisitions, enhanced with our plans to carry out research and development for specific applications, and (2) sustainable revenue growth by executing planned BESS acquisitions via joint ventures with capital partners to collect joint venture income from BESS operations or Vietnam-based manufacturing partners which can manufacture products derived from our technology solutions.

The Company acquired Bitech Mining on March 31, 2022 pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement. Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement we acquired an aggregate of 94,312,250 shares of Bitech Mining’s Common Stock representing 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Bitech Mining in exchange for an aggregate of 9,000,000 shares of the Company’s newly authorized Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Effective June 27, 2022, each share of Series A Preferred Stock automatically converted into 53.975685 shares (an aggregate of 485,781,168) of the Company’s Common Stock upon filing of an amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation increasing the number of the Company’s authorized common stock to 1,000,000,000. Upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Sellers held, in the aggregate, approximately 96% of the issued and outstanding shares of Company capital stock on a fully diluted basis.

The Share Exchange was treated as a recapitalization and reverse acquisition for financial reporting purposes, and Bitech Mining is considered the acquirer for accounting purposes. As a result of the Share Exchange and the change in our business and operations, a discussion of the past financial results of our predecessor, Spine Injury Solutions Inc., is not pertinent, and under applicable accounting principles, the historical financial results of Bitech Mining, the accounting acquirer, prior to the Share Exchange are considered our historical financial results.

Comparison of the three month period ended September 30, 2024 with the three month period ended September 30, 2023.

The Company has generated no revenues from its primary business for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023.

During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we incurred $811,752 of general and administrative expenses compared to $135,434 for the same period in 2023. General and administrative expenses have increased primarily related to approximately $339,880 of non-cash stock compensation expense and approximately $70,000 legal fees related to the Emergen Acquisition and $166,000 contractor fees related to the Emergen projects. We have booked $943,500 deferred revenue related to cash received for the sale of certain solar projects originally acquired as part of the Emergen Acquisition.

As a result of the foregoing, we had net loss of ($811,762) for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to a net loss of ($135,434) for the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Comparison of the nine month period ended September 30, 2024 with the nine month period ended September 30, 2023.

The Company has generated minimal revenues from its primary business for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we incurred $1,948,487 of general and administrative expenses compared to $596,941 for the same period in 2023. General and administrative expenses the nine months ended September 30, 2024 have increased primarily related to $928,000 of non-cash stock compensation expense and the increases in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 of approximately $70,000 legal fees related to the Emergen Acquisition and $249,000 contractor fees related to the Emergen projects. We have booked $943,500 deferred revenue related to cash received for the sale of certain solar projects originally acquired as part of the Emergen Acquisition.

As a result of the foregoing, we had net loss of ($1,948,159) for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to a net loss of ($589,941) which included $7,000 other income to offset the general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Working Capital

The calculation of Working Capital provides additional information and is not defined under GAAP but it is acknowledged that it is a defined term by the FASB. We define Working Capital as current assets less current liabilities. This measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any standardized measure under GAAP. This information is intended to provide investors with information about our liquidity.

Other companies in our industry may calculate this measure differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had total current liabilities of $1,154,995 and $35,229, respectively, and current assets of $725,311 and $163,417, respectively, to meet our current obligations. As of September 30, 2024, we had working capital of $529,625, a decrease of working capital of $453,943 as compared to December 31, 2023, driven primarily by $943,500 deferred revenue recorded related to cash provided from the sale of solar projects and cash used in operations offset by $396,000 cash proceeds from the sale of common stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, cash used by operations was approximately ($83,000) which primarily included the net loss of approximately ($1,948,000) but adjusted for the deferred revenue payment of $943,500, the non-cash stock based compensation of $928,000, and common stock issued for legal services of $66,000.

We have a history of operating losses. We have not yet achieved profitable operations and expect to incur further losses. We have funded our operations primarily from equity financing. As of September 30, 2024, cash generated from financing activities was not sufficient to fund our growth strategy in the short-term or long-term. The primary need for liquidity is to fund working capital requirements of the business, including operational and development costs to develop and construct our planned BESS and Solar projects that are part of the Development Project rights we acquired upon completion of the acquisition of Emergen. As the Development Projects are in their early phase of development, we have not determined the amount of capital needed to complete their development or operate them until sufficient cash is generated from their operations. The primary source of liquidity has primarily been private financing transactions. The ability to fund operations, to make planned capital expenditures, to execute on the development and commercialization of the Development Projects depends on our ability to raise funds from debt and/or equity financing which is subject to prevailing economic conditions and financial, business and other factors, some of which are beyond our control. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we do not have any off-balance-sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on our results of operations or financial condition, including, and without limitation, such considerations as liquidity and capital resources.

Changes in or Adoption of Accounting Practices

There were no material changes in or adoption of new accounting practices during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Critical Accounting Policies

See Note 2 of the accompanying notes to unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which note is incorporated herein by reference.

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by 17 C.F.R. 229 (10)(f)(i) and are not required to provide information under this item.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer are responsible for establishing and maintaining our disclosure controls and procedures. Such officers have concluded (based upon their evaluation of these controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report) that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in this report is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and principal financial officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2024. Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective as of September 30, 2024.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have also indicated that, upon evaluation, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting or other factors during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal controls will prevent all error 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 system are met. In addition, 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 all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon 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. Because of these inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
