Best Efforts Offering

of 77,560,000 Shares of Common Stock by the Company and

2,440,000 Shares of Common Stock by the Selling Stockholders

$0.20 per Share

 

Greenbelt Resources Corporation (“us,” “we,” “our,” the “Company” or “Greenbelt”) is an early stage, revenue-producing operating company which emerged from the development stage in December 2012.

 

Investing in our common stock involves risks, and you should not invest unless you can afford to lose your entire investment. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 7. This offering circular relates to the offer and sale or other disposition of 77,560,000 shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share, at a fixed price of $0.20 per share, by us and the offer and sale or other disposition of 2,440,000 shares of our common stock, at a fixed price of $0.20 per share, by the selling stockholders named in this offering circular. Each share shall have a stated value of $0.001 per share. See “Description of Securities” beginning on page 23.

 

The proposed sale will begin as soon as practicable after this Offering Circular has been qualified by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the relevant state regulators, as necessary. The offering will continue until the Company has sold all of the shares offered hereby or on such earlier date as the Company may terminate the Offering. The shares offered hereby are offered on a “best efforts” basis. No minimum sale is required, and there is no minimum offering. However, there is a $5,000 minimum individual purchase in this offering, and only whole shares may be purchased.

 

We have made no arrangements to place subscription proceeds or funds in an escrow, trust or similar account, which means that the proceeds or funds from the sale of shares will be immediately available to us for use in our operations and once received and accepted are irrevocable.

 

Our common stock is presently quoted on the OTC Pink tier of the OTC Markets Group, Inc. under the trading symbol “GRCO”. On August 12, 2016, the last sale price of our common stock as reported by the OTC Markets was $0.025 per share. There is a very limited market for our common stock at this time and following the offering made by this Offering Circular, there is no assurance that a market will further develop.

THE COMPANY AND BUSINESS SUMMARY

 

Greenbelt Resources Corporation was organized in 2001 under the laws of the State of Nevada as “Originally New York, Inc.” We are an early stage, revenue-producing operating company that emerged from the development stage in December 2012. The Company’s headquarters are located in Paso Robles, California. The Company is a green technology company and its common stock is quoted on the OTC Pink tier of the OTC Markets Group under the symbol “GRCO.”

 

Greenbelt designs, manufactures, operates and sells modular systems that recycle food wastes and beverage wastes into sellable products. Products produced include ultra-low carbon advanced biofuel, fertilizer, animal feed, electricity and filtered and distilled water.

 

The innovative advantages of our technology allow our unique approach: the economy of “small” scale. Our “local-scale” technology and approach make it cost-effective to process applicable wastes in quantities available locally.

 

Each system is an assemblage of individual automated modules collectively controlled and connected by our proprietary software platform. Each module performs a different step in the process. The process for our systems can be broken out into four stages:

 

  Feedstock pretreatment: The feedstock pretreatment step (if necessary) prepares the feedstock for fermentation by making simple sugars available. Feedstock processing may include grinding or mashing up solid, and/or adding water, heat, and/or enzymes to break down starches or cellulose into simple sugars available in a uniformly viscous solution.
     
  Fermentation: The fermentation step is the process of adding yeast to a uniformly viscous liquid in which the yeast will consume the sugars and convert them into ethanol.
     
  Distillation: The distillation step is the process of separating out the ethanol by boiling the liquid to turn the ethanol, and some of the water into a vapor and then capturing the ethanol through a condensation process. The Company’s ethanol plant distillation modules are built around the Butterfield Closed Cycle System™, which is now owned by the Company.
     
  End-product production: The end-product production step depends on the specific products being produced. For example, ethanol may require dehydration, for which we use our membrane dehydration module. Stillage may be sold “as is” for use as fertilizer or fortified animal beverage, or customers may request certain components be filtered out for such uses. For example, water may be filtered out and repurposed via additional treatment for sale as distilled or filtered water while the remainder is sold as a high-value high-protein animal feed. In urban deployments, stillage is fed into an anaerobic digester for conversion into biogas (methane). The biogas can be injected into natural gas pipelines where it qualifies for incentive credits, or consumed in an electrical generator to make renewable energy. Where a generator is involved, the heat from its exhaust can be used to replace heat source for the other modules, most notably distillation, thus greatly increasing overall efficiency.

 

Our systems can be configured to our customers’ specifications, and can include any or all of the four steps in the process. As a result, the cost of our system can vary widely, depending on the needs of the customer. In 2012, we sold our first system to the University of Florida for an aggregate amount of approximately $593,000. In 2014, we sold our second system to a group of farmers doing business as Standard Ethanol Pty Ltd. for an aggregate amount of approximately $1.8 million.

 

We also operate our own system in a facility in Paso Robles, California that provides a feedstock processing and commercial scale feedstock testing service. In 2006, we acquired technology in a business transaction which was incorporated into a small-scale biomass/waste-to-ethanol pilot plant. This plant was a research and development facility which supported our business model in the biomass/waste-to-energy markets until 2014. During 2014, we transitioned the Paso Robles plant from a research and development facility to an operating plant. It has been used for revenue-producing projects since that time. We have multiple customers at this facility, which produces low carbon ethanol and various other products. A substantial portion of the initial proceeds from the securities sold in this offering are intended to be used to expand our onsite feedstock processing capacity by building a larger second system in Paso Robles for our own use to both process feedstock and sell the end products produced. We expect that the second system would be operational within nine months of the start of manufacturing.

 

 6 
   

 

In addition, in 2015, we began providing contract manufacturing services to third parties. For example, we built a passive alcohol system, a pollution control device that captures and transforms gaseous ethanol emissions into quality spirit products, based on the contracting party’s design and specifications. We were also contracted to manufacture the manifold system used to aggregate and deliver the exhaust gases containing the ethanol vapor stream to the passive alcohol system. Based upon ongoing negotiation we anticipate expanding the contract manufacturing portion of our business in 2016 and 2017.

RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in our Company’s common stock involves high degree of risk. You should carefully consider each of the following risks and all of the information set forth in this Offering Circular before deciding to invest in our common stock. If any of the following risks and uncertainties develops into an actual event, our business financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially adversely affected. In that case the price of our common stock could decline and you may lose all or part of your investment. In connection with the forward-looking cautionary statements that appear in this Offering Circular you should also carefully review the cautionary statement referred to under Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward Looking Statements.

 

RISK FACTORS RELATED TO THE ISSUER’S BUSINESS

 

Early Stage Business

 

Greenbelt Resources Corporation was organized in 2001 under the laws of the State of Nevada as “Originally New York, Inc.” The Company’s headquarters are located in Paso Robles, California. The Company acquired technology in a business transaction in 2006 which was incorporated into a small-scale biomass/waste-to-ethanol pilot plant then under development. This plant was a research and development facility which supported the Company’s business model in the biomass/waste-to-energy markets.

 

We need capital to fund operations. We have a limited operating history with our current business model upon which an evaluation of our prospects and future performance can be made. Our operations are subject to all business risks associated with enterprises with a limited operational history. The likelihood of our success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays frequently encountered in connection with the expansion of an early stage business in an emerging industry. There is a possibility that we could sustain losses in the future and there can be no assurances that we will be successful in developing profitable operations.

 

Absence of Established Markets

 

There are no formal established markets or distribution channels for our products and services. We have identified and prioritized specific target markets and customers where we believe the deployment of our technologies will financially benefit the customer, the environment and Greenbelt but need to continue to develop and execute a sales strategy for each of these. Also, for any company which may develop cost effective technology similar to ours, there are no substantial barriers to entry.

 

Our Financial Success can be Influenced by Commodity Price Changes

 

The Company’s construction/production processes and revenue streams can be adversely affected by price increases in certain commodities which we may not be able to pass on to our customers, or price decreases which may adversely affect the selling prices of our products and services. In particular, we are dependent upon favorable pricing for ethanol, steel, feed, fertilizer, water and to a lesser extent the price of Carbon Credits. No part of the proceeds from this offering will be used for financial hedging strategies with respect to these risks.

 

We May Not be able to Manage our Growth Effectively

 

We expect to expand significantly and intend to maintain a high growth focus. However, growth will place additional demands and strains on our executive team and other resources and we cannot be sure that we will be able to manage growth effectively. In order to successfully manage our growth, we may need to:

 

  Expand and enhance our operations infrastructure;
     
  Continue to improve our supply chain logistics and delivery cycle time information systems and controls; and
     
  Expand and enhance our sales and marketing infrastructure.

 

 8 
   

 

We cannot assure you that our infrastructure, facilities and personnel will be adequate to support our future operations or to effectively adapt to future growth. If we are unable to manage our growth effectively, our business, financial condition and results of operations will be adversely affected.

 

We May Not be able to Successfully Anticipate Technological Advances within our Industry or by Potential Competitors

 

Our business relies on proprietary system designs and scientific technologies which are essential to our production processes and our revenue streams. Technologies can evolve rapidly in our industry and are characterized by both evolutionary and revolutionary technological advances. If, for example, another alternative to ethanol as a fuel additive were to be developed, it may impact demand for the ethanol we produce and therefore reduce the value of this particular revenue stream.

 

We are Subject to Indirect Competition

 

Our products and services may compete with well established businesses in other industries which provide complementary value. For example, we provide a relatively cost effective alternative for certain customers to dispose of the organic waste material and feedstock we use as a raw material input in our processes in comparison to the current conventional disposal methods provided by haul away services. by truck or other mode of transportation.

 

We Will Not be able to Realize our Approximate $3.6 million Federal Tax Net Operating Loss Carry Forward if We Don’t Achieve Profitability or if There is a Significant Ownership Change

 

The Company has a federal net operating tax loss carry forwards of approximately $3.6 million at December 31, 2015 expiring in various periods through 2029. Utilization of the net operating loss carry forwards depends on future net income and may also be limited in the future in the event of a significant ownership change.

 

We are Conducting a Direct Primary Offering with No Minimum Amount Required to be Raised

 

We can accept your investment funds at any time without any other investment funds being raised and may not raise sufficient funds to operate our business beyond the next twelve months.

 

There is a $5,000 minimum individual purchase, and only whole shares may be purchased. There is no minimum amount required to be raised, however, before we can accept your investment funds and, as a result, investment funds will not be placed in an escrow account pending the attainment of a minimum amount of proceeds. Also, we may not sell enough shares of common stock in the offering to continue our operations beyond the next twelve months as we believe that we need to raise a minimum of $5,000,000 in this offering to achieve a level of sustainable operations in terms of profits and cash flows. Once we accept your investment funds, there will be no obligation to return your funds even though no other investment funds are raised. Also, there may be insufficient funds raised through this direct primary offering to continue our operations beyond the next twelve months. Thus, you may be one of only a few investors in this offering in which you acquire common stock in a company that continues to be under-capitalized. A future lack of sufficient funds to pay expenses and for working capital will negatively impact our ability to successfully implement and complete our plan of operation and execute our business plan.

 

Our Executive Officers are Crucial to our Business

 

Our early stage business is significantly dependent on retaining our current management team; namely Darren Eng, Floyd Butterfield and Joseph Pivinski, our CEO, CTO and CFO, respectively. Their qualifications are set forth herein. The loss of service of these key personnel could result in significant disruption to our operations, including growth plans and operating results.

 

 9 
   

 

Risks of Borrowing

 

Since 2012, the Company has not incurred any significant debt ($296,600 of debt convertible into common stock at August 14, 2016) and the Company does not presently intend to incur debt if it sells all of the securities included in this offering. However, should the Company determine that short or long term secured debt is in the best interests of the Company, there are possible risks which could have a significant adverse effect on its business.

 

If the Company incurs future indebtedness, a portion of the Company’s cash flow will need to be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest. Loan agreements also may contain restrictive covenants which can impair the Company’s operating flexibility. Such loan agreements could also provide for default under certain circumstances, which could result in a loan becoming immediately due and payable and repayment will be senior to the rights of the common stockholders.

 

Successful Execution of the Business Plan

 

The Company’s current business model and business plans may change significantly and management reserves the right to modify this model and these plans depending on future events. Our business has been and is capital intensive and may require the Company to incur significant up front cash outlays in anticipation of future cash inflows.

 

Management Discretion as to Use of Proceeds

 

The net proceeds from this Offering will be used for the purposes described under “Use of Proceeds.” The Company has complete discretion to use the funds obtained from this Offering, not only for purposes presently contemplated but for any corporate purpose it deems to be in the best interests of the Company and its investors in order to address changed circumstances or opportunities. As a result of the foregoing, the success of the Company will be substantially dependent upon the discretion and judgment of management with respect to application and allocation of the net proceeds of this Offering. Investors in the common stock offered hereby will be entrusting their funds to the Company’s management, upon whose judgment and discretion the investors must depend.

 

Management Control of our Common Stock and Preferred Stock

 

As of August 14, 2016 the Company’s officers and directors owned approximately 33.7% of the Company’s outstanding common stock. Upon completion of this Offering, assuming all shares are sold, the Company’s officers and directors will own approximately 26.3% of the outstanding common stock. Also, 5,000,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock were owned and held in a Voting Trust, the sole Trustee of which is an officer and director of the Company. Each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock can be converted into one (1) share of common stock. In addition, 5,000,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock were owned and held by Officers and Directors of the Company. The Series C shares divide voting rights equally among the Board of Directors at the time of each vote and have either (a) a 100-to-1 voting right as a group or (b) have a 51% voting right in the event 100-to-1 is no longer a majority vote. See Certain Factors Related to our Preferred Stock – Markets, Trading and Liquidity below.

 

We have Never Paid Dividends and do not Expect to pay Dividends on our Common Stock in the Foreseeable Future.

 

The Company has never declared or paid any cash dividends on its common stock and currently intends to retain any future cash and earnings to finance the expansion of its business. As a result, the Company does not anticipate paying any cash dividends on its common stock in the foreseeable future.

 

 10 
   

 

The Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

 

We have not yet achieved profitable operations and may incur losses as the business develops. The Company does not yet have a history of financial stability and has incurred a cumulative net loss since the inception of its current business model of approximately $1.4 million. The principal sources of liquidity have been the issuance of since extinguished convertible debt, equity securities and officer loans. These factors raise doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue operations is dependent on the success of management’s plans, which include the operational business model described herein and obtaining capital from funds provided by operations and this Offering. The Company will require these funds to finance the growth of its expected future operations. The Company’s current available cash along with anticipated cash will be insufficient to meet its cash needs for the long-term future.

 

Because our auditors have issued a going concern opinion, there is a substantial uncertainty that we will continue operations, in which case you could lose your investment.

 

Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion in their report on our financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014. Our historical operating losses raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If we do not achieve profitability and do not have other sources of financing for our business, we may have to curtail or cease our business plans and operations, which could cause investors to lose the entire amount of their investment. Our stockholders’ deficit as of December 31, 2015 was $335,333 and we have had recurring losses from operations. We anticipate incurring additional losses until such time we can generate significant revenues, and/or reduce operating costs.

 

We have not yet established revenues sufficient to cover our current level of operating costs for at least the next 12 months and allow us to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on us obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until we become profitable. We can give no assurances that any additional capital that we are able to obtain, if any, will be sufficient to meet our needs, or that any such financing will be obtained on acceptable terms. As a result of our going concern qualification, there is an increased risk that you could lose the entire amount of your investment in our company.

 

We may not be able to obtain additional financing to fund our operations.

 

We will need to raise additional funds in the future. There can be no assurance that sufficient equity and/or debt financing will be available at all or, if available, that such financing will be at terms and conditions acceptable to us. Should we fail to obtain additional debt financing or raise additional capital, we may not be able to achieve our longer term business objectives and may face other serious adverse consequences. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities or convertible debt, investors may experience significant dilution of their ownership interest, and the newly-issued securities may have rights senior to those of the holders of our common stock. If we raise additional funds by obtaining loans from third parties, the terms of those financing arrangements may include negative covenants or other restrictions on our business that could impair our operational flexibility and may require us to provide collateral to secure the loan. In addition, in a liquidation, debtholders will be entitled to repayment before any proceeds can be paid to our equity holders.

 

RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMMON STOCK

 

We do Not Meet the Criteria to List our Securities on an Exchange Such as The NASDAQ Stock Market and our Common Stock May be Difficult to Sell.

 

Our common stock is quoted in the OTC Pink tier of the OTC Markets Group, Inc.’s OTC marketplace. Securities quoted on the OTC Market generally lack liquidity and analyst coverage. This can result in lower prices for our common stock than might otherwise be obtained if we met the criteria to list our securities on a larger or more established exchange and could also result in a larger spread between the bid and asked prices for our stock. Also, potential relatively small trading volume would likely make it difficult for our shareholders to sell common stock when and if they choose. As a result, investors may not always be able to resell shares of our stock publicly at the time and prices that they feel are fair or appropriate.

 

There is a very limited market for our common stock at this time and following the offering made by this Offering Circular, there is no assurance that a market will further develop.

 

We may be Subject to Penny Stock Regulations and Restrictions, and You May have Difficulty Selling Shares of our Common Stock.

 

The Company’s common stock may be subject to certain rules, restrictions and regulations relating to “penny stock” (generally defined as any equity security that has a market or exercise price less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exemptions – the “Penny Stock Rule”). Broker-dealers who sell penny stocks are subject to certain “sales practice requirements” for sales to persons other than established customers and institutional qualified or accredited investors. For as long as the Company’s common stock is subject to the rules on penny stocks, the market liquidity for could again significantly limited. This lack of liquidity may also make it more difficult for the Company to raise capital in the future through sales of equity in the public or private markets.

 

The Present Price and Limited Market for our Common Stock May Make our Common Stock Price Highly Volatile.

 

If a market for our common stock develops, there could be volatility in the future volume and market price. This volatility may be caused by a variety of factors, including the lack of readily available quotations and low trading volume, variations in our operating results, litigation involving us, factors relating to our industry, actions by governmental agencies, national economic and stock market considerations and other events and circumstances beyond our control.

 

Offers or Availability for Sale of a Substantial Number of Shares of our Common Stock may Cause the Price of our Common Stock to Decline.

 

Our stockholders could sell substantial amounts of common stock in the public market, including shares upon the expiration of any statutory holding period under Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”), if available, or upon trading limitation periods. Such volume could create a circumstance commonly referred to as an “overhang” and in anticipation of which the market price of our common stock could fall. The existence of an overhang, whether or not sales have occurred or are occurring, also could make it more difficult for us to secure additional financing through the sale of equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem reasonable or appropriate.

 

Potential Long Term Nature of Investment

 

An investment in the Company’s common stock may be long term and illiquid. The common stock being offered here will not be registered under the Securities Act or any foreign or state securities laws by reason of exemptions from such registration, which depends in part on the investment intent of the investors. Accordingly, purchasers must be willing and able to bear the economic risk of their investment for an indefinite period of time. It is likely that investors will not be able to liquidate their investment in the event of an emergency.

 

 11 
   

 

Compliance with Securities Laws

 

The Company’s common stock is being offered for sale in reliance upon certain exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, applicable California Securities Laws and other applicable state securities laws. If the sale of the common stock were to fail to qualify for these exemptions, purchasers may seek rescission of their purchases of common stock. If a number of purchasers were to obtain rescission, we would face significant financial demands, which could adversely affect the Company as a whole, as well as any non-rescinding purchasers indirectly due to the lack of capital to fund operations associated with these rescissions

 

Offering Price

 

The price of the common stock offered has been arbitrarily established by us, considering such matters as the state of our business development and the general condition of the industry in which we operate. The Offering price bears no relationship to our net assets, results of operations or any other objective financial criteria.

 

Lack of Underwriter

 

The common stock is directly offered on a “best efforts” basis by the Company and its Officers and Directors, without compensation. Accordingly, there is no assurance that the Company will sell the maximum common stock offered or any lesser amount.

 

Other Risks

 

In addition to the above risks, businesses are often subject to risks not foreseen or fully appreciated by management. In reviewing this Offering Circular potential investors should keep in mind other possible risks that could be important.

BUSINESS AND PROPERTIES

 

Our Business & Systems

 

Greenbelt Resources Corporation was organized in 2001 under the laws of the State of Nevada as “Originally New York, Inc.” We are an early stage, revenue-producing operating company that emerged from the development stage in December 2012. The Company’s headquarters are located in Paso Robles, California. The Company is a green technology company and its common stock is quoted on the OTC Pink tier of the OTC Markets Group under the symbol “GRCO.”

 

Greenbelt designs, manufactures, operates and sells modular systems that recycle food wastes and beverage wastes into sellable products. Products produced include ultra low carbon advanced biofuel, fertilizer, animal feed, electricity and filtered and distilled water.

 

The innovative advantages of our technology allow our unique approach: the economy of “small” scale. Our “local scale” technology and approach make it cost-effective to process applicable wastes in quantities available locally. The local-scale approach has several benefits:

 

  It reduces or eliminates the cost of environmental impacts of extensive transportation of wastes to a large regional facility.
     
  It allows for maximizing efficiencies for converting unique types of waste by adjusting system settings, and
     
  It allows for sale of end products directly to end users at prices benefitting both seller and buyer.

 

Each system is an assemblage of individual automated modules collectively controlled and connected by our proprietary software platform. The modules per system depend on a number of factors, including:

 

  Location.
     
  Feedstock (the incoming raw product, which are the wastes from food or beverage products or other cellulosic wastes; these may include a variety of solid and liquid feedstocks, including beer waste, waste wine, dairy products waste, agricultural waste, energy crops, miscellaneous food waste, aggregated municipal food waste, surplus grains and other cellulosic material), and
     
  Local demand and value of the products produced.

 

Each module performs a different step in the process. The process for our systems can be broken out into four stages:

 

  Feedstock pretreatment: The feedstock pretreatment step (if necessary) prepares the feedstock for fermentation by making simple sugars available. Feedstock processing may include grinding or mashing up solid, and/or adding water, heat, and/or enzymes to break down starches or cellulose into simple sugars available in a uniformly viscous solution.
     
  Fermentation: The fermentation step is the process of adding yeast to a uniformly viscous liquid in which the yeast will consume the sugars and convert them into ethanol.
     
  Distillation: The distillation step is the process of separating out the ethanol by boiling the liquid to turn the ethanol, and some of the water into a vapor and then capturing the ethanol through a condensation process. The Company’s ethanol plant distillation modules are built around the Butterfield Closed Cycle System™, which is now owned by the Company.
     
  End-product production: The end-product production step depends on the specific products being produced. For example, ethanol may require dehydration, for which we use our membrane dehydration module. Stillage may be sold “as is” for use as fertilizer or fortified animal beverage, or customers may request certain components be filtered out for such uses. For example, water may be filtered out and repurposed via additional treatment for sale as distilled or filtered water while the remainder is sold as a high-value high-protein animal feed. In urban deployments, stillage is fed into an anaerobic digester for conversion into biogas (methane). The biogas can be injected into natural gas pipelines where it qualifies for biogas incentive credits, or consumed in an electrical generator to make renewable energy. Where a generator is involved, the heat from its exhaust can be used to replace heat source for the other modules, most notably distillation, thus greatly increasing overall efficiency.

 

 13 
   

 

Our systems can be configured to our customers’ specifications, and can include any or all of the four steps in the process. As a result, the cost and overall production capacity of our system can vary widely, depending on the needs of the customer. In 2012, we sold our first system to the University of Florida for an aggregate amount of approximately $593,000. In 2014, we sold our second system to a group of farmers doing business as Standard Ethanol Pty Ltd. for an aggregate amount of approximately $1.8 million.

 

The basis of our process control technology was performance tested and validated from 2009 – 20111 in 26 micro unit deployments installed around the world, some of which still exist today.

 

We also operate our own system in a facility in Paso Robles, California that provides a feedstock processing service. In 2006, we acquired technology in a business transaction which was incorporated into a small-scale biomass/waste-to-ethanol pilot plant. This plant was a research and development facility which supported our business model in the biomass/waste-to-energy markets until 2014. During 2014, we transitioned the Paso Robles plant from a research and development facility to an operating plant. It has been used for revenue-producing projects since that time. We have multiple customers at this facility, which produces low-carbon and ultra low-carbon ethanol and various other products. The initial proceeds from the securities sold by us in this offering are intended to be used to expand our onsite feedstock processing capacity by building a second system in Paso Robles for our own use to both process feedstock and sell the end products produced. We expect that the second system would be operational within nine months of the commencement of build and have negotiated Memorandum’s of Understanding with several feedstock providers and off take purchasers to secure the necessary feedstocks

 

In addition, in 2015, we began providing contract manufacturing services to third parties. For example, we built a passive alcohol system, a pollution control device that captures and transforms gaseous ethanol emissions into quality spirit products, based on the contracting party’s design and specifications. We have also been contracted to manufacture the manifold system used to aggregate and deliver the exhaust gases containing the ethanol vapor stream to the passive alcohol system. Based upon ongoing negotiations, we anticipate expanding the contract manufacturing portion of our business in 2016 and 2017.

 

Each year, The New Economy magazine announces awards in the areas of cleantech, healthcare, logistics, social responsibility, strategy and technology, In December 2014, The New Economy magazine named our modular small-scale organic waste recycling technology as “Best Biofuels and Biochecmicals Solutions” in its cleantech category. We are not affiliated with The New Economy magazine in any way, and we paid no fee to be considered for this award.

 

Revenue Model

 

Since 2012, we have generated revenue from the sale of our systems and from annual maintenance fees, and since 2014, we have generated revenue from our feedstock processing services at our Paso Robles facility. We have sold a total of two systems, and are in negotiations to sell additional systems. In the future, we hope to expand our onsite feedstock processing capacity by building a larger second system in California for our own use to both process feedstock and sell the end products produced. In addition, we provide the purchasers of our systems with ongoing technical support and monitoring services for an annual fee. In the future, we plan to own or partially own complete systems operated either as leased or jointly owned and operated business ventures. We have secured an agreement committing the necessary baseline feedstock to support one such venture and are in negotiations to secure other feedstocks and off-take agreements. Other potential revenue streams include sales of ethanol, fertilizer, animal feed, distilled water and electricity, and payments from a variety of incentive programs.

 

 14 
   

 

A myriad of incentive programs apply to our technology, the projects in which we can apply for use and the products we produce. In particular, Greenbelt’s is currently included in multiple grant applications for projects using a variety of feedstock types located in various parts of California submitted under a much awaited Assembly Bill 118 Grant Program designed to incentivize Community – Scale biofuel projects.

 

Also, as noted previously, the low carbon and ultralow-carbon ethanol produced by our systems qualifies for Low Carbon Fuel Standard carbon credits adding to system revenue and overall political and economic benefits of a project.

 

We also recently launched a new, innovative service in California which allows for the use of our operating commercial facility by third party customers for feedstock feasibility testing. This fee based service allows customers and potential partners to introduce new feedstocks, new feedstock processing techniques or both to evaluate the efficacy of a particular feedstock input to produce ethanol and other outputs.

 

Beginning in 2015, we also have generated revenue from contract manufacturing services. We are in discussions to expand the contract manufacturing portion of our business in 2016 and 2017.

 

Manufacturing Our Systems

 

We have leased space in Paso Robles, CA where we manufacture and assemble the product to be delivered to the customer. Materials generally consist of steel and aluminum piping, various types of electrical components and protective cabling. Labor is obtained on a contract basis and consists primarily of welders and unskilled laborers. There are multiple sources of materials and labor available to us, and the loss of any materials or labor supplier would not have a material adverse effect on our business.

 

The shipping and delivery of the product to the customer is outsourced to third parties.

 

Once delivered, a modest amount of set up work and testing at the customer’s site is performed by our Chief Technology Officer and Chief Executive Officer.

 

Our Customers and Markets

 

A February 2015 report by The Waste & Resources Action Programme and the Global Commission on the Economy and Climate concluded that annually, about 60.0 million metric tons of food is wasted in the United States alone, with an estimated value of $162.0 billion. In addition, about 32.0 million metric tons of this waste ends up in localized municipal landfills, at a cost of about $1.5 billion a year to local governments. The report also indicated that the annual global cost of food waste could be as high as $400.0 billion.

 

In the United States, a rapidly growing body of waste disposal regulations have increased disposal costs, in turn increasing demand for cost effective, environmentally sound alternative solutions for disposal. Food waste landfill bans are increasing. Plus, organizations including the USDA, the EPA, the Grocery Manufacturing Association, the Food Marketing Institute and the National Restaurant Association also have food waste reduction initiatives. As these initiatives continue to increase our current and potential target markets will continue to establish themselves and expand and grow.

 

As our system is able to process multiple feedstocks as input, we segment our potential industry target markets by industry/feedstock type. The second level of segmentation is geographic.

 

Target industry/feedstocks include:

 

  separated municipal food wastes - food and beverage industry wastes, including brewery waste;
     
  agriculture and food industry wastes – crop residuals, Greek yogurt production (acid whey), beet tailings, wheat screenings;
     
  dedicated energy crops and advanced biofuel crops;
     
  public and institutional food industry waste - hospitals, casinos, prisons, bases, restaurants; and
     
  other inputs suitable for recycling into low-carbon ethanol, fertilizer, filtered water and animal feed.

 

 15 
   

 

Domestic and international target markets include cities, counties, universities, food producers, beverage makers/distributors, remote rural areas, island communities and developing countries. The social and economic value of products produced by our systems varies by location. For example, in states with Low Carbon Fuel Standards which benefit the environment, like California, the production and sale of ultra-low-carbon-ethanol earns valuable cash carbon credits (currently sold for $125.00 per credit) which provides for an additional revenue stream

 

As owner or co-owner of a network of deployed systems, we expect our target markets to expand to include not only the waste generators indicated above, but consumers of the outputs, e.g., farmers who are able to utilize outputs as cheaper alternative fuel, animal feed and fertilizer. The latter was the basis of our last system sale to a customer engaged in farming.

 

Greenbelt initially expects its national rollout to take root in states with proactive regulations in line with the food waste reduction initiatives of the federal and national commercial organizations noted earlier above. Already, states such as Vermont, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and most recently California have banned commercial food waste from going to landfills. In particular, California currently presents a perfect storm of positive factors driving a wave of demand and interest to include our technology in solutions aimed to be deployed around the state. Those factors include the Low Carbon Fuel Program, the AB 118 Community – Bio Fuels Grant Program and physical proximity to Greenbelt operations.

 

Competition & Barriers to Entry

 

Initial system deployments are expected to be in the United States, most likely initially in California, followed by the states of Massachusetts, Connecticut, Vermont and New York. Management is exploring options in foreign countries, as well.

 

Our system is unique with the way in which we have combined a local-scale platform approach integrating small-scale modules, community scale footprint and automated operations with a configurable modular replicable model and in this respect has no direct competitors. Larger system operators that provide hundreds of millions of gallons of ethanol for a different set of target markets have little interest in investing in our scale of operation. However, our products and services may compete with well established businesses in other industries which provide complementary services. For example, we provide an environmentally sound, cost-effective alternative use for the organic waste of certain customers to in lieu of the current conventional disposal method of arranging for hauling that waste by truck or other mode of transportation.

 

Competition in our markets will not likely be direct competition from systems producing ethanol and other saleable products, but rather other technological innovations currently not foreseeable.

 

Unique Value Proposition

 

We differentiate ourselves by contributing both economic and societal benefits to our customers in local communities, improving local economies and utilizing local resources. Our systems and services can:

 

  Lower waste disposal costs
     
  Reduce waste going to landfills

Challenges

 

The fundamental challenge for the Company, which dwarfs all others by far, is to acquire capital to fund our operations, infrastructure requirements and the development of sales in our initial target markets. In concert with this is the need to anticipate the market and commence building a system in anticipation of either a future third party sale or for our own use as 6 – 9 months are required to build out. We are, however, cash poor.

 

The primary segment of our business has been and is capital intensive and requires us to incur significant up front cash outlays prior to matching future cash inflows, analogous to most construction companies. Other revenue streams at times have required customized modification to our processes which again tend to be “up front” costs.

 

In addition, the sales cycle for our primary system requires a lead time of several months due to the complexity of the product and customer education required.

 

In summary, the Company, with experienced management and a product line with proven technology evidenced by sales, and with a myriad of potential markets to penetrate, needs capital.

 

Intellectual Property

 

There is currently a patent pending on our technology (U.S. Patent Application: 14/263,687), and we believe that we hold certain patent protections and common law trademark and trade name rights. Elements of our technological designs, operational configuration and approach and system management entail closely held trade secrets. In the future, we may make applications to seek patent protections using best efforts to ensure the rights to all intellectual property potentially held are adequately protected. However, our business is not, and in the future, we do not expect our business to be, dependent on intellectual property, including patents.

Property

 

In 2014, the Company leased a 4,800 square foot manufacturing and assembly facility located at 3500 Dry Creek Road, Paso Robles, CA for $2,000 per month pursuant to an occupancy agreement by and between Buena Vista Ranch LLC (“Buena Vista”) and Greenbelt dated September 4, 2014. Buena Vista is owned by our Chief Technology Officer, Treasurer and Secretary and Board member. The lease was terminated by mutual agreement on December 31, 2014. The facility was used to assemble and test systems prior to customer delivery and is available to be used in the future if necessary.

 

The Company leases a 3,500 square foot premises used as an operations facility at 3500 Dry Creek Road, Paso Robles, CA for $1,925 per month. This facility contains the Company’s own operating biomass/feedstock to ethanol system and is a month-to month-tenancy.

 

The Company owned system was developed and constructed at an approximate cost of $1.0 million all of which has been all expensed in the Company’s financial statements.

 

We believe our current space is adequate for our operations at this time.

 

Regulation

 

Our business, products and properties are not subject to any material regulation by federal, state or local governmental agencies.

 

Employees

 

We presently have two full-time employees, Messrs. Darren Eng and Floyd Butterfield. We are dependent upon each employee for implementation of our business plans.

 

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

The estimated cost of this offering is approximately $95,500. This cost will be paid directly by the Company, and no proceeds of the offering are expected to be used for this purpose. We estimate that our net proceeds, after deducting the proceeds allocable to sales by shareholders offering their shares hereby, assuming all shares of common stock offered are sold, will be approximately $15,512,000 (based on an assumed offering price of $0.20 per share). We intend to use the estimated net proceeds in the manner set forth below as soon as possible and no later than the first 12 months after completion of this offering:

 

   Approximate
Amount
   Percent of
Proceeds
 
Expected Use of Proceeds          
Construction of Waste to Ethanol Plants  $12,500,000    80.6%
           
Development of Sales in initial Target Markets   2,020,000    13.0 
General Working Capital for Operations   992,000    6.4 
           
Total Proceeds from this Offering  $15,512,000    100.0%

 

In the event that the Company sells 50% of the shares of common stock being offered, it expects to disburse the net proceeds as follows:

General Working Capital for Operations   496,000    6.4 
           
Total Proceeds expected from this Offering  $7,756,000    100.0%

 

A small portion of the proceeds will be used to compensate or otherwise make payments to officers or directors of the issuer. In the event we do not raise a sufficient amount of funds in this offering, which in our opinion is no less than 50% of the total proceeds, we currently have no other significant initiatives in place to finance our growth and proposed expansion.

 

The above represents the Company’s best estimate of its allocation of net proceeds based upon its current business operations, business plans and current economic and business conditions. It is subject to reallocation among the categories listed above. The issuer reserves the right to change the use of proceeds.

NOTE: AFTER REVIEW OF THE ABOVE, POTENTIAL INVESTORS SHOULD CONSIDER WHETHER OR NOT THE OFFERING PRICE FOR THE SECURITIES IS APPROPRIATE AT THE PRESENT STAGE OF THE COMPANY’S DEVELOPMENT.

 

IMPLICIT POST-OFFERING VALUE

 

If all shares of the common stock are sold, there would be 367,983,573 shares of common stock outstanding. At $0.20 per common share, this would be an implied market value of $73,596,715 ($0.20 x 367,983,573 shares = $73,596,715).

 

DILUTION

 

There are 281,530,717 shares of our common stock outstanding at December 31, 2015, 97,700,000 (33.7.0%) of which are owned by officers and directors.

 

The shares owned by officers and directors were acquired (a) in 2011 when the Company agreed to issue non-cash share–based compensation, valued at $0.008 per share, in settlement of all compensation due but deferred by such officers and directors during the years 2009, 2010 and 2011. The $692,000 expense reduced earnings in 2010 and 2011; and (b) in 2015 via a bonus award of restricted common stock at $0.015 per share. The $55,500 expense reduced earnings in 2015.

 

The weighted average price paid for the 183,830,717 outstanding shares of common stock owned by other (public) shareholders at December 31, 2015 was $0.018 per share.

 

After giving effect to the sale of 77,560,000 shares of common stock at $0.20 to other (public) shareholders in this offering, on an as converted basis the immediate dilution per share to purchasers in this offering is $0.144 and the immediate increase in value per share held by existing other (public) shareholders is $0.039.

 

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

This offering circular relates to 77,560,000 shares of our common stock offered by us, and 2,440,000 shares of our common stock offered by the selling stockholders. The shares being offered by us and by the selling stockholders will be sold at the fixed price of $0.20 per share. We intend to satisfy approximately 90.2% of the amount subscribed for on each subscription agreement received in this offering with shares offered by us and approximately 9.8% of such amount with shares offered by the selling stockholders, in proportion to the shares being offered by such selling stockholders in this offering. We have not retained any underwriters, brokers or placement agents in connection with the offering.

 

There is No Current Market for Our Shares of Common Stock

 

There is currently no market for our shares. We cannot give you any assurance that the shares you purchase will ever have a market or that if a market for our shares ever develops, that you will be able to sell your shares. In addition, even if a public market for our shares develops, there is no assurance that a secondary public market will be sustained.

 

The shares you purchase are not traded or listed on any exchange. Our shares of common stock are quoted on the OTC Pink tier of the OTC Markets. The securities traded on the OTC Markets are not listed or traded on the floor of an organized national or regional stock exchange. Instead, these securities transactions are conducted through a telephone and computer network connecting dealers in stocks. Over-the-counter stocks are traditionally smaller companies that do not meet the financial and other listing requirements of a regional or national stock exchange.

Even though our common stock is quoted on the OTC Markets, a purchaser of our shares may not be able to resell the shares. Broker-dealers may be discouraged from effecting transactions in our shares because they will be considered penny stocks and will be subject to the penny stock rules. Rules 15g-1 through 15g-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act impose sales practice and disclosure requirements on FINRA brokers-dealers who make a market in a “penny stock.” A penny stock generally includes any non-NASDAQ equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share. Under the penny stock regulations, a broker-dealer selling penny stock to anyone other than an established customer or “accredited investor” (generally, an individual with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or an annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with his or her spouse) must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and must receive the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to sale, unless the broker-dealer or the transactions is otherwise exempt. In addition, the penny stock regulations require the broker-dealer to deliver, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the Commission relating to the penny stock market, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt. A broker-dealer is also required to disclose commissions payable to the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, a broker-dealer is required to send monthly statements disclosing recent price information with respect to the penny stock held in a customer’s account and information with respect to the limited market in penny stocks.

 

The additional sales practice and disclosure requirements imposed upon brokers-dealers may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our common stock, which could severely limit the market liquidity of the common stock and impede the sale of our common stock in the secondary market, assuming one develops.

 

The Offering will be Sold by Our Officers and Directors

 

We are offering up to a total of 77,560,000 shares of common stock, and the selling stockholders are offering up to 2,440,000 shares of common stock for resale. In our sole discretion, we have the right to terminate the offering at any time, even before all shares have been sold. There are no specific events which might trigger our decision to terminate the offering.

 

The common stock will be offered on a direct primary, self-underwritten basis (that is without the use of a broker-dealer) by the Company and our officers and directors (Messrs. Eng, Butterfield and Pivinski) during the offering period discussed below to a maximum number of 80,000,000. However, we reserve the right to engage a registered broker dealer to sell the securities on our behalf. We will begin sales of our common stock on the date that this Offering Circular is deemed qualified by the SEC through and including the sooner of (a) the sale of all of the shares offered are sold or (b) nine months after the date that this Offering is deemed qualified by the SEC, unless the offering is extended at our sole discretion (the “Offering Period”). Our Board of Directors shall be able, in its discretion, to terminate the offering at any time. Within the Offering Period, we may accept some or all of the subscriptions received as of the date received.

 

The minimum amount of common stock to be purchased by subscription agreement is $5,000 and only whole shares may be purchased. Subscriptions, once received and accepted, are irrevocable. Any subscription may be rejected by us in whole or in part, but no subscription may be revoked by the subscriber except as provided for in this Offering Circular. If a subscription is not accepted, the subscription amount will be returned without interest. We reserve the right to accept or reject your subscription in whole or in part. Our acceptance of your Subscription Agreement is effective when we countersign it for the number of shares of common stock we set forth next to our signature depending on the investment amount. If we accept your Subscription Agreement, we will provide you with a confirmation of your purchase. If we do not accept your subscription, your purchase payment will be returned to you, without interest, within 30 days of our non-acceptance.

 

We cannot assure you that all or any of the shares offered under this prospectus will be sold. No one has committed to purchase any of the shares offered. Therefore, we may sell only a nominal number of shares, in which case our ability to execute our business plan might be negatively impacted. We reserve the right to withdraw or cancel this Offering and to accept or reject any subscription in whole or in part, for any reason or for no reason. Subscriptions will be accepted or rejected promptly. All monies from rejected subscriptions will be returned immediately by us to the subscriber, without interest or deductions. Certificates for shares purchased will be issued and distributed by our transfer agent promptly after a subscription is accepted and “good funds” are received in our account.

 

 21 
   

 

We will sell the shares in this Offering through our officers and directors, who intend to offer them to friends, family members and business acquaintances using this offering circular and a subscription agreement as the only materials to offer potential investors. The officers and directors that offer shares on our behalf and on behalf of the selling stockholders may be deemed to be underwriters of this Offering within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act. We reserve the right to use licensed broker/dealers and pay the brokers a cash commission of up to 10% of the proceeds raised by that broker. The officers and directors engaged in the sale of the securities will receive no commission from the sale of the shares nor will they register as broker-dealers pursuant to Section 15 of the Exchange Act in reliance upon Rule 3a4-1. Rule 3a4-1 sets forth those conditions under which a person associated with an issuer may participate in the Offering of the issuer’s securities and not be deemed to be a broker-dealer. Each of Messrs. Eng, Butterfield and Pivinski satisfies the requirements of Rule 3a4-1 in that:

 

  He is not subject to a statutory disqualification, as that term is defined in Section 3(a)(39) of the Securities Act, at the time of his participation;
     
  He is not compensated in connection with his participation by the payment of commissions or other remuneration based either directly or indirectly on transactions in securities;
     
  He is not, at the time of his participation, an associated person of a broker- dealer; and
     
  He meets the conditions of Paragraph (a)(4)(ii) of Rule 3a4-1 of the Exchange Act, in that he (A) primarily performs, or is intended primarily to perform at the end of the Offering, substantial duties for or on behalf of the issuer otherwise than in connection with transactions in securities; and (B) was not a broker or dealer, or an associated person of a broker or dealer, within the preceding 12 months; and (C) does not participate in selling and offering of securities for any issuer more than once every 12 months other than in reliance on Paragraphs (a)(4)(i) or (a)(4)(iii).

 

As long as we satisfy all of these conditions, we believe that we satisfy the requirements of Rule 3a4-1 of the Exchange Act.

 

As our officers and directors will sell the shares being offered pursuant to this Offering, Regulation M prohibits us and our officers and directors from certain types of trading activities during the time of distribution of our securities. Specifically, Regulation M prohibits our officers and directors from bidding for or purchasing any common stock or attempting to induce any other person to purchase any common stock, until the distribution of our securities pursuant to this Offering has ended.

 

Deposit of Offering Proceeds

 

This is a direct primary, self-underwritten basis offering, so we are not required to sell any specific number or dollar amount of securities, but will use our best efforts to sell the securities offered. We have made no arrangements to place subscription funds in an escrow, trust or similar account, which means that all funds collected for subscriptions will be immediately available to us for use in the implementation of our business plan.

 

ERISA Considerations

 

Special considerations apply when contemplating the purchase of shares of our common stock on behalf of employee benefit plans that are subject to Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), plans, individual retirement accounts (“IRAs”) and other arrangements that are subject to Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or provisions under any federal, state, local, non-U.S. or other laws or regulations that are similar to such provisions of the Code or ERISA, and entities who underlying assets are considered to include “plan assets” of any such plan, account or arrangement (each, a “Plan”). A person considering the purchase of our shares on behalf of a Plan is urged to consult with tax and ERISA counsel regarding the effect of such purchase and, further, to determine that such a purchase will not result in a prohibited transaction under ERISA, the Code or a violation of some other provision of ERISA, the Code or other applicable law. We will rely on such determination made by such persons, although no shares of our common stock will be sold to any Plans if management believes that such sale will result in a prohibited transaction under ERISA or the Code.

 

INVESTOR PERCENTAGE OWNERSHIP

 

If all shares of the common stock are sold in this Offering, after giving effect to sales by selling stockholders, and after giving maximum effect to the potential conversion of principal and interest to common shares by holders of our Convertible Notes at their option at August 14, 2016 there would be a maximum of 378,458,851 shares of common stock outstanding. Current shareholders would own 300,898,851 shares of the outstanding common stock (79.5%) and new investors in this offering would own 77,560,000 shares of the outstanding common stock (20.5%).

The Company’s technology makes the production of advanced biofuel and other products reliable, practical, and efficient through the deployment of a network of innovative, cost effective, sustainable energy production systems.

 

Results of Operations

 

Two Years Ended December 31, 2014

 

As an early stage operating company with its current business model, from approximately the last quarter of 2012 through December 31, 2014 (29 months), we sold and delivered two of our bio-waste to ethanol systems.

 

As the design and construction of both these projects required significant time and were accounted for on the percentage of completion method of accounting to construction contracts, our opinion is that the format of the discussion presented here best allows the reader to understand and evaluate our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

 

The two projects resulted in cumulative net revenue of $2,280,644 and the associated gross profit was $104,532, representing a 4.6% gross profit margin.

 

Cumulative selling, general & administrative expense was $804,869. I addition there was a one time non cash write-off of Goodwill of $248,906.

 

As a result, our cumulative net loss after taxes was ($949,243). The loss directly attributable to operations, however, was ($863, 277).

 

Year Ended December 31, 2015

 

Net revenue was $177,559 and our Gross loss was ($42,276).

 

Selling, general & administrative expense was ($452,904), the substantial portion of which were compensation related.

 

As a result, our net loss after taxes was ($495,180).

 

The cumulative net loss above, when combined with prior year net losses, also results in a benefit to the Company in the form of a federal net tax loss carry forward available to offset tax liabilities resulting from future net profits, if any, of approximately $3.6 million.

 

 29 
   

 

The primary reason for the cumulative loss was a substantial shortfall in a budgeted expected gross profit margin of 42%. The shortfall was the result of several factors, including:

 

  managing a technical learning curve with a new, innovative technology which delayed commitments for work to vendors; and,
     
  significant undercapitalization which required the Company to delay/stretch key vendor payments and delays in vendor performance, which resulted in,
     
  an extension of the cycle time expected to build out the projects and a resultant delay in planned customer milestone payments, which further exacerbated cash flow requirements, and,
     
  required more senior management time be devoted to project completion rather than sales and marketing efforts benefiting the future of the Company.

 

In summary, we experienced a vicious cycle of growing pains as an undercapitalized organization, all of which we believe are now behind us but contributed to the current lack of a backlog of system sales.

 

Liquidity & Cash Flow

 

Our cumulative negative cash flow for the 27 months ended December 31, 2015 was $4,526.

 

Cash flow from operations was negative so operations were effectively financed by the issuance of common stock to investors as well as to vendors for certain services in the approximate amount of $870,000 and the sale of 10% Convertible Notes for $112,500.

 

Current and Future Financing Needs

 

Primarily due to a prior accumulated net loss of ($2,900,000) incurred before the inception of the current business model (and appointment of the current management team), we have a stockholders’ deficit of ($335,333) at December, 2015. Management recognizes the Company’s need for capital is paramount to its future success and requires obtaining the funds being raised in this Offering. Management believes that this is the primary key to achieving success. The actual number of funds we will need to operate is subject to many factors, some of which are beyond our control.

Going Concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, we have incurred a net loss of $495,180 and used $333,547 of cash in our operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2015. As of December 31, 2015, a stockholders’ deficit of $335,333 and negative working capital of $348,460. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is contingent on securing additional debt or equity financing from outside investors. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Management plans to continue to implement its business plan and to fund operations by raising additional capital through the issuance of debt and equity securities. The Company’s existence is dependent upon management's ability to implement its business plan and/or obtain additional funding. There can be no assurance that the Company’s financing efforts will result in profitable operations or the resolution of the Company's liquidity problems. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, it may include undue restrictions on our operations in the case of debt, or cause substantial dilution for our stockholders in the case of equity financing.

 

Facilities Investment

 

The Company owns an operational waste-to-ethanol system used for research & development and revenue producing purposes, the book basis of which is reflected on the Balance Sheet as $ -0- at December 31, 2015 as the substantial majority of the costs incurred were expensed over prior several years.

 

Since the initial development year, the total investment in this plant is approximately $1.0 million, all of which has been expensed.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any unconsolidated special purpose entities and we do not have significant exposure to any off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

We do, however, have an unused source of liquidity in the form of a favorable third party arrangement with a supplier which requires delivery of a significant component part of our next system at no cost, contingent upon the sale of the next system.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

 

To the Stockholders

Greenbelt Resources Corporation

Paso Robles, CA

 

Report on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Greenbelt Resources Corporation and Subsidiary which comprises the balance sheets as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficiency, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

 

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

 

Auditor’s Responsibility

 

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.

 

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control.

 

F-2
 

 

Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

 

Opinion

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Greenbelt Resources Corporation as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has experienced recurring operating losses and negative operating cash flows, and has a stockholders’ deficit as of December 31, 2015. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Greenbelt Resources Corporation

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014

 

Note 1. Nature of Operations and Going Concern

 

Greenbelt Resources Corporation (the “Company” or “Greenbelt”) was organized in 2001 under the laws of the State of Nevada as “Originally New York, Inc.” The Company’s headquarters are located in Paso Robles, California.

 

The Company’s business model is to design, develop, construct and implement technology that makes the production of advanced biofuel reliable, practical, and efficient through the deployment of a network of innovative, cost effective, sustainable energy production systems. The Company is focused on delivering modular solutions designed for localized processing of locally available resources into sellable products.

 

The Company sells its products and services to third parties as well as establishing projects for self-deployment of its technology to address needs for local waste recycling and local energy.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, we have incurred a net loss of $495,180 and used $333,547 of cash in our operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2015. As of December 31, 2015, a stockholders' deficit of $335,333 and negative working capital of $348,460. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is contingent on securing additional debt or equity financing from outside investors. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Management plans to continue to implement its business plan and to fund operations by raising additional capital through the issuance of debt and equity securities. The Company's existence is dependent upon management's ability to implement its business plan and/or obtain additional funding. There can be no assurance that the Company's financing efforts will result in profitable operations or the resolution of the Company's liquidity problems. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, it may include undue restrictions on our operations in the case of debt, or cause substantial dilution for our stockholders in the case of equity financing.

 

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements as of and for the periods ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 include the accounts of Greenbelt Resources Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary Diversified Ethanol Corporation. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates and assumptions impact, among others, the valuation and potential impairment associated with intangible assets, revenue recognition and estimates pertaining to the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.

 

These estimates require management to exercise significant judgment and it is reasonably possible that conditions or circumstances considered in formulating an estimate could change. Accordingly, actual results could differ from estimates.

 

F-8
 

 

Property, Plant and Equipment

 

Property consisting of office furnishings, the Company’s ethanol facility and related property and equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of 5 years .

 

Management assesses the carrying value of property and equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. If there is indication of impairment, management prepares an estimate of future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If these cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized to write down the asset to its estimated fair value. As of December 31, 2015, there were no indications of impairment based on management’s assessment of these assets.

 

Revenue and Cost Recognition

 

Revenue from long-term contracts is recognized on the percentage-of-completion method, measured by the percentage of costs incurred to date to estimated total costs for each contract. This method is used because management considers total costs to be the best available measure of progress on these contracts. Because of inherent uncertainties in estimating costs, it is at least reasonably possible that the estimates used will change within the near term.

 

Contract costs include all direct materials, labor and indirect costs (such as: contract labor, tools and equipment rentals) related to contract performance. General and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined.

 

Changes in estimated profitability resulting from performance, conditions, contract penalty provisions, claims, change orders and settlements are accounted for as changes in estimates in the current period.

 

The asset “Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts” represents revenue recognized in excess of amounts billed. The liability “Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts” represents billings in excess of revenue recognized.

 

Revenue from contract manufacturing and feedstock testing services is recognized when: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred and services have been rendered, (iii) the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.

 

Net Loss per Share

 

Net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to the Company that is available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per share gives effect to all potentially dilutive instruments which affect common stock, including stock warrants, convertible debt and convertible preferred stock, using the if converted method. Diluted earnings per shares excludes all dilutive potential shares of common stock if their effect is anti-dilutive.

 

There were no potentially-dilutive securities as of December 31, 2015 and 2014.

 

F-9
 

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method.

 

We recognize a liability or asset for the deferred tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements. These temporary differences will result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years when reported amounts of the assets or liabilities are recovered or settled.

 

Assessing whether our deferred tax asset is realizable requires significant judgment. The ultimate realization of the deferred tax asset is dependent upon future taxable income.

 

We are also required to recognize the financial statement effect of an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position.

 

There were no unrecognized tax benefits for the periods ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

 

F-10
 

 

Share- Based Payment Arrangements

 

Generally, all forms of share-based payments, including stock option grants, warrants and stock grants are measured at fair value on the awards’ grant date, based on estimated number of awards that are ultimately expected to vest. Share-based compensation issued for services rendered are recorded at either the fair value of the services rendered or the fair value of the share-based payments, whichever is more readily determinable. Expense is recognized over the period the payment is earned.

 

All share-based payments made to date have vested upon issuance.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company measures assets and liabilities at fair value based on an expected exit price as defined by the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements, which represents the amount that would be received on the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability, as the case may be, in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value may be based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

 

The fair value of financial assets and liabilities can be determined based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value, as follows:

 

Level 1 – Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 – Inputs, reflecting quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, that are observable for the assets or liabilities or through corroboration with observable market data.

 

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs reflecting only the Company’s assumptions incorporated in valuation techniques used to determine fair value.

 

The carrying amount of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, inventory, prepaid expenses, and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair value due to their short term nature. The carrying values of financing obligations approximate their fair values due to the fact that the interest rates on these obligations are based on prevailing market interest rates.

 

Research and Development

 

Company sponsored research and development expenses that do not consist of component parts which have a future alternative use are expensed as incurred.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2014, research and development expense was $80,318.

 

Advertising

 

The Company’s policy is to expense advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expense for the periods ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 was $ -0- and $5,503, respectively.

 

Concentrations

 

During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company had two customers who accounted for 51% and 44% of its revenue, respectively. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of revenue during the year ended December 31, 2015. As of December 31, 2015, the Company had accounts receivable due from two customers which represented 74% and 26% of its total accounts receivable. There was no other customer accounted for 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2015.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company had a customer who accounted for approximately 98% of revenue. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of revenue during the year ended December 31, 2014. As of December 31, 2014, the Company had accounts receivable due from one customer which represented 92% of its accounts receivable. There was no other customer accounted for 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2014.

 

The Company sells its products in the United States and internationally. The Company’s total international revenue for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 were approximately $0 and $465,000, respectively.

 

Note 3. Property, Plant and Equipment

 

Property, plant and equipment consist of the following:

 

   December 31, 
   2015   2014 
Resource-to-Ethanol plant  $204 527   $192,848 
Equipment, furniture & fixtures   3,000    3,000 
Less accumulated depreciation   (194,400)   (178,972)
   $13,127   $16,876 

 

The Company’s resource-to-ethanol plant is deemed to have an alternative future use and the physical component parts of the plant are capitalized and were depreciated over 5 years.

 

All other research and development costs associated with the design and construction of this plant have been expensed.

 

Note 4. Convertible Notes

 

On July 30, 2012, the Company issued $30,000 in interest bearing convertible notes which may be repaid in cash or shares of common stock at the option of the Company.
