REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING
FIRM
To the
Board of Directors and Stockholders of Genoil Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have
audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Genoil Inc.
(the “Company”) as of December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018
and the related consolidated statements of operations,
stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then
ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the
“financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial
statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Genoil Inc. as of December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018 and
the results of its operations and cash flows for the years then
ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States.
Basis for Opinion
These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the
Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a
public accounting firm registered with the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”)
and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in
accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and
the PCAOB.
We
conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to
perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.
As part of our audit we are required to obtain an understanding of
internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose
of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our
audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of
material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to
error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those
risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis,
evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial
statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
Going Concern Uncertainty
The
accompanying financial statements referred to above have been
prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going
concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the
Company’s present financial situation raises substantial
doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
Management’s plans in regard to this matter are also
described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.
Critical Audit Matters
The
critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from
the current period audit of the financial statements that were
communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee
and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material
to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially
challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of
critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the
financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by
communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate
opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or
disclosures to which they relate.
Stock-based compensation to officers, directors, and consultants
– Refer to Note 9 to the consolidated financial
statements
Critical
Audit Matter Description
The
Company issues common stock, stock options, and Price Appreciation
Certificates to officers, directors, and consultants for various
services rendered to the Company. Share-based payments to these
individuals are measured at the fair value of the securities
issues. For stock options and Price Appreciation Certificates, the
payments are measured using a Black-Scholes option pricing model.
For the year ended December 31, 2020, stock-based compensation was
$729,109.
How the
Critical Audit Matter was Addressed in the Audit
Our
principal audit procedures related to the Company’s
stock-based compensation expense included:
(1)
For issuances of
common stock for services, we compared the prices used for the
measurements to independent third party sources of trading prices
of GNOLF common stock on the respective issuance
dates.
(2)
For stock options
and Price Appreciation Certificates, we tested the key factors and
assumptions used to develop the Black Scholes measurements in
determining that they were reasonable in relation to the
consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.

Genoil INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Years Ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018
(Expressed in US Dollars)
1. REPORTING ENTITY AND GOING CONCERN
Genoil
Inc. (“Genoil”) was incorporated under the Canada
Business Corporations Act in September 1996. The consolidated
financial statements of Genoil Inc. comprise Genoil Inc. and its
subsidiaries, Genoil USA Inc., Genoil Emirates LLC (“Emirates
LLC”) and Two Hills Environmental Inc. (“Two
Hills”) (collectively the “Company”). The Company
is a technology development company focused on providing innovative
solutions to the oil and gas industry through the use of
proprietary technologies. The Company’s business activities
are primarily directed to the development and commercialization of
its upgrader technology, which is designed to economically convert
heavy crude oil into light synthetic crude. The Company is quoted
on the OTC Markets under the symbol GNOLF. The Company’s
registered address is care of Bennett Jones LLP, Suite 4500, 855 -
2nd Street SW,
Calgary, Alberta.
These
consolidated financial statements have been presented on a going
concern basis. The Company reported net losses of $1,502,626,
$3,632,162, and $7,422,318 for the years ended December 31, 2020,
2019, and 2018, respectively. The Company used funds in operating
activities of $330,067, $239,912, and $272,181 for the years ended
December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively. The Company had a
net working capital deficiency of $2,194,696, $6,554,403, and
$6,211,133 at December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively. The
Company had a stockholders’ deficit of $6,863,296, $6,511,239
and $6,617,969 at December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively.
These factors indicate material uncertainties that cast substantial
doubt about to the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern.
The
ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent
on commercializing its technologies, achieving profitable
operations and obtaining the necessary financing in order to
develop these technologies further. The outcome of these matters
cannot be predicted at this time. The Company will continue to
review the prospects of raising additional debt and equity
financing to support its operations until such time that its
operations become self-sustaining, to fund its research and
development activities and to ensure the realization of its assets
and discharge of its liabilities. While the Company is expanding
its best efforts to achieve the above plans, there is no assurance
that any such activity will generate sufficient funds for future
operations.
The
Company is not expected to be profitable during the ensuing the
twelve months and therefore must rely on securing additional funds
from either issuance of debt or equity financing for cash
consideration. During the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and
2018, the Company received net proceeds of $421,460, $234,490 and
$879,875, respectively, pursuant to financing
activities.
Management,
utilizing close personal relationships, has been successful in
raising capital through periodic private placements of the
Company’s common shares. Although these shares are subject to
a “hold” period on the United States stock markets, the
investors’ confidence in the undertakings of management, with
respect to future positive market performance of the
Company’s common stock, permits this avenue of financing to
exist. External sources of debt financing are not available to the
Company due to its precarious financial position.
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any
adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of
recorded assets and classification of liabilities that might be
necessary should the Company be unable to continue its operations.
Such adjustments could be material.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The
accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to
all periods presented in these consolidated financial
statements.
(a)
Principles of
Consolidation:
The
consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
and incorporate the financial statements of Genoil and entities
controlled by it. Control is achieved where Genoil has the power to
govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to
obtain benefits from its activities.
Genoil
has the following subsidiaries:
●
Genoil USA Inc.,
incorporated in Delaware, United States, which is a wholly owned
subsidiary of Genoil.
●
Genoil Emirates
LLC, incorporated in the United Arab Emirates, which will focus
upon the fields of oil and water processing and treatment in the
United Arab Emirates. Genoil Emirates LLC is jointly owned by
S.B.K. Commercial Business Group LLC and Genoil. As of December 31,
2020, Emirates LLC had not yet commenced operations and holds no
assets.
●
Two Hills
Environmental Inc., incorporated in Canada and registered in
Alberta, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Genoil. Two Hills
was formed to enter into the oilfield waste disposal industry by
capitalizing upon its current undeveloped asset base. The asset
base comprises a site under which three salt caverns have been
formed in the Lotsberg Formation beneath the earth's surface. Such
caverns are used in the oilfield disposal industry as a destination
for oilfield wastes.
The
financial results of Genoil’s subsidiaries are included in
the consolidated financial statements from the date that control
commences until the date that control ceases. The accounting
policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to align
them with the policies adopted by Genoil.
Intercompany
balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses
arising from intercompany transactions, are eliminated in preparing
the consolidated financial statements.
(b)
Foreign
currency translation
The
reporting currency of the Company is the United Sates Dollar. The
functional currency of Genoil and its subsidiaries is the United
States Dollar. Transactions denominated in currencies other than
the functional currency are translated at the exchange rates
prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Exchange gains and
losses are reflected in income.
(c)
Use of
estimates and judgments
The
preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America (GAAP) requires management to make judgments, estimates and
assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and
the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses.
By their nature, judgments, estimates and assumptions are subject
to measurement uncertainty and changes in such judgments, estimates
and assumptions in future periods could result in a material change
in future financial statements. Actual results may differ from
these estimates.
Judgment
is used in situations where there is a choice or assessment
required by management. Estimates and underlying assumptions are
required on an ongoing basis and revisions are recognized in the
year in which such estimates are revised.
(d)
Cash
and cash equivalents
The
Company considers all short-term investments with original
maturities of three months or less to be cash
equivalents.
(e)
Stock-based
compensation
The
Company grants common stock, stock options, and Price Appreciation
Certificates to employees, directors, and consultants for various
services rendered to the company. Share-based payments to these
individuals are measured at the fair value of the securities issued
and amortized over the vesting periods. The amount recognized as a
share-based payment expense during a reporting period is adjusted
to reflect the number of awards expected to vest. The offset to
this recorded cost is to contributed surplus. A forfeiture rate is
estimated on the grant date and is subsequently adjusted to reflect
the actual number of options that vest. At the time of exercise,
the consideration and related contributed surplus recognized to the
exercise date are credited to share capital.
(f)
Income
tax
Income
tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax expense
is recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it
relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case it is
recognized in equity.
Current
tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the
period, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the
reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of
previous years.
Deferred
tax is recognized using the liability method, providing for
temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used
for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognized on the
initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that
is not a business combination. In addition, deferred tax is not
recognized for taxable temporary differences arising on the initial
recognition of goodwill. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates
that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they
reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively
enacted by the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities
are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset, and
they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the
same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend
to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or
their tax assets and liabilities will be realized
simultaneously.
A
deferred tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable
that future taxable profits will be available against which the
temporary difference can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are
reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that
it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be
realized.
(g)
Loss per
share
Basic
earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the income
(loss) attributable to common shareholders of the Company by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the
period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is determined by
adjusting the income (loss) attributable to common shareholders and
the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the
effects of dilutive instruments such as stock options and warrants.
The calculation assumes the proceeds on exercise of options are
used to repurchase shares at the current market price. All options
and warrants are anti-dilutive when the Company is in a loss
position.
(h)
Recent
accounting pronouncements:
The
Company has evaluated recent accounting pronouncements and their
adoption has not had or is not expected to have a material impact
on the Company’s financial position or
operations.
3. DETERMINATION OF FAIR VALUES
A
number of the Company’s accounting policies and disclosures
require the determination of fair value, for both financial and
non-financial assets and liabilities. When applicable, further
information about the assumptions made in determining fair values
is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability. The
Company is required to classify fair value measurements using a
hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in
making the measurements.
The
fair value hierarchy is as follows:
▪
Level 1 –
quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities;
▪
Level 2 –
inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are
observable for the asset or liability, either directly or
indirectly; and,
▪
Level 3 –
inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable
market data.
Cash
and cash equivalents have been measured using level 1
inputs.
The
fair value of cash and cash equivalents, due from related parties,
trade and other payables, accrued interest payable, convertible
notes, and due to related parties approximates their carrying value
due to their short term to maturity.
The
fair values of stock options and Price Appreciation Certificates
are measured using the Black-Scholes pricing model. Measurement
inputs include share price on measurement date, exercise price of
the instrument, expected forfeiture rate (based on historic
forfeitures), expected volatility (based on weighted average
historic volatility adjusted for changes expected due to publicly
available information), weighted average expected life of the
instruments (based on historical experience and general option
holder behavior), expected dividends, and the risk-free interest
rate.

PRICE APPRECIATION CERTIFICATES
In lieu
of compensation the Company has entered into agreements
(“Price Appreciation Certificates”) with David
Lifschultz and Bruce Abbott whereby, at the request of the
executives, the Company agrees to pay the equivalent sum of the
rise in the Company’s stock price based on the agreed upon
number of shares, from a fixed per share amount to the average of
the last 10 trading days (volume weighted average
price).
The
number of shares reflect a potential salary for the two executives
that only exist if the price of the shares rise above the price
appreciation base amount. The Company has no obligation to pay the
two executives if the stock does not rise. The Company, at its
exclusive option and benefit, can proceed with a private placement
at the share price on the date of exercise and the executive will
subscribe to this private placement for the entire sum advanced by
the Company.
The
Company accounts for these Price Appreciation Certificates as an
equity instrument due to its exclusive option to require a
subscription to the private placement as determined by the fair
value of the instruments using a Black-Scholes pricing
model.
At
December 31, 2019, the 486,100,000 Price Appreciation Certificates
outstanding had a weighted average exercise price of $0.04 per
share, a weighted average remaining contractual life of 2.84 years,
and an aggregate intrinsic value of $0.
At
December 31, 2020, the 367,400,000 Price Appreciation Certificates
outstanding had a weighted average exercise price of $0.04 per
share, a weighted average remaining contractual life of 2.89 years,
and an aggregate intrinsic value of $0.
OPTIONS
The
Company has a stock option plan for directors, officers, employees
and consultants. The term and vesting conditions of each option may
be fixed by the Board of Directors when the option is granted, but
the term cannot exceed 10 years. The maximum number of shares that
may be reserved for issuance under the plan is fixed at 69,819,579.

The
provision for income taxes reflects the net tax effects of
temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and
liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used
for tax purposes. The provision for income taxes differs from that
computed by applying the statutory United States federal income tax
rate of 21% for 2020, 2019, and 2018 to loss before income taxes.

Based
on management’s present assessment, the Company has not yet
determined that a deferred tax asset attributable to the future
utilization of the net operating loss carryforward as of December
31, 2020 will be realized. Accordingly, the Company has maintained
a 100% valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset in the
financial statements at December 31, 2020. The Company will
continue to review this valuation allowance and make adjustments as
appropriate.
Current
United States income tax laws limit the amount of loss available to
be offset against future taxable income when a substantial change
in ownership occurs. Therefore, the amount available to offset
future taxable income may be limited.
All tax
years remain subject to examination by major taxing
jurisdictions.

BUSINESS OF THE CORPORATION
Genoil
Inc. is a technology development company based in Alberta, Canada.
The Company has developed innovative hydrocarbon and oil and water
separation technologies.
The
Company specializes in heavy oil upgrading, oily water separation,
process system optimization, development, engineering, design and
equipment supply, installation, start up and commissioning of
services to specific oil production, refining, marine and related
markets.
Genoil
has been primarily involved in the development and commercial
applications of its modular proprietary heavy oil upgrading
technology – based on proven principles of the fixed bed
reactor that has been in operation for over fifty years. Genoil has
a strategic relationship with a major engineering firm, and we are
working on developing relations with three more, giving Genoil the
surge capacity to add thousands of engineers, the project risk
management experience, and engineering know-how, technological and
project process warranties, to apply to any project and enable the
company to execute a one million barrel per day contract in the
Middle East.
The Genoil Hydroconversion Upgrader GHU® - Background
Genoil
has designed and developed the Genoil Hydroconversion Upgrader
(GHU®), based on proven principles using fixed bed
reactor technology. The GHU® technology converts sour (high
sulphur), heavy hydrocarbon feed stocks into lighter oil with
higher quality distillates for conventional refining. The Genoil
technology was commissioned at Conoco Canada’s battery site
at their bitumen oil field in Kerrobert Saskatchewan. Conoco
carefully monitored the upgrading of bitumen from 6.9-8.5 API done
there, with their engineers assisting in the administration &
operation of the Genoil GHU upgrader. The pitch conversion rate
achieve there was 96% yielding a product API Gravity of 25. Conoco
collected all sample on the feed, product and gas streams and had
them analyzed by CORE Laboratories in Calgary, Alberta and NTEC. Of
major interest, are the +90% conversion rate and 99.5%
desulfurization done at mild operating conditions. The Genoil
process is designed to create a spread of over $30.00 per barrel
and it is estimated that there are 900 billion barrels to be
upgraded, this makes crude oil upgrading one of the largest market
opportunities in the world.
The
GHU®’s unique intellectual property is in its
hydroconversion design and mixing devices. A GHU®
provides greater mass/heat transfer between hydrogen, crude and
catalyst. As a result, hydroconversion can be achieved with
much less hydrogen required and at milder operating conditions. The
Genoil Upgrader has proved that it can achieve a greater Liquid
Hourly Space Velocity (LHSV). This breakthrough allows for a
similar reduction percentage value in operating costs. In essence,
it means that it can debottleneck existing infrastructure by
providing the option of greater capacity throughput at greater
efficiencies. The Genoil GHU is designed to convert heavy crude /
bitumen into lighter crude so that it can be transportable by
pipeline without the aid of diluent, and to make it more compatible
for processing in existing refineries.
By
increasing the yield of light products and decreasing the residual
portion of a heavy crude stream, heavy crude or bitumen becomes
more compatible with existing refineries. There are many heavy and
extra heavy crudes which are very difficult feedstocks for existing
refineries to process. These heavier crudes are characterized by
high sulfur content and yield a high portion of low value residual
product. Typically these crudes are very difficult to refine, thus
they have a limited market. There is tremendous interest by
refineries and national oil companies for upgrading heavy crude so
that existing refineries can utilize it. Genoil is currently
pursuing business with critical players in almost all of the oil
producing countries. Genoil is currently better positioned than any
company to realize meaningful upgrading contracts. For example, the
United Arab Emirates has 10% of the world’s oil reserves and
Genoil Emirates is in great position to capture much of the local
upgrading market.
The
Genoil Upgrader Technology is based on non-destructive, catalytic
hydrogenation, and flash separation. The main feature of the Genoil
Upgrading Process is the standard Fixed Bed Reactor, and the
patented introduction of hydrogen into each reactor. The Genoil
technology is modular and has great flexibility to accommodate a
range of process objectives. The GHU is a much improved
hydrogenation process that upgrades and increases the yields from
high sulphur; acidic, heavy crude oils and heavy refinery feed
stocks, bitumen and refinery residues into light, clean
transportation fuels.
Upgrading
heavy oil is essentially a very undeveloped industry and could
become one of the largest potential industries in the world.
Most of the oil presently coming out of the ground is light,
in the vicinity of 86 million barrels a day, or 27.5 billion
barrels a year of 400 billion barrels of light oil reserves
remaining. It is readily seen that even if you allow for new
oil discoveries and further advances of recovery through
technological enhancements in field recovery, the time limit for
this light oil reserve will last no more than twenty or thirty
years.
If
desired, the Genoil Upgrading Process can yield zero waste and
consumes no external energy or hydrogen, deriving its hydrogen and
energy from its own residue. The cost structure is therefore
much lower than standard upgrading processes in hydrogenation and
does not give off a waste by-product such as coking of
30%.
GHU BUSINESS PROSPECTS
Our
business strategy is to enhance shareholder value by maximizing
sales effectiveness with the lowest possible budget. The
company’s goal is to sign contracts and to monetize the
Genoil upgrader and Crystal oil water separation technologies
around the world. Genoil is very flexible with its business models.
The main GHU upgrading model is to capture a royalty for every
produced barrel on the profit created. The corporation has
streamlined and reduced its cost to run a more efficient and
financially stable existing business. This includes building
organizational capability and implementing the best sales and
management processes to achieve our business
objectives.
Genoil And Partner Beijing Petrochemical Receive $ 5 Billion Letter
of Intent from the China Development Bank
On
April 15, 2016 the company announced that they received a $5
billion dollar letter of intent for the initial phase of a 500,000
bpd upgrading project to be situated in the Middle East. The goal
of the consortium is to develop 3.5 million barrels per day of
upgrading capacity at a total estimated cost of up to $35-50
billion USD. The company is in discussions in other areas for a
similar sized project. We feel confident that if we can close on
one deal there will be a good likelihood that we can close on
others. If this deal comes to fruition it will be one of the
largest energy transactions in the world if not the largest, which
should make Genoil one of the world’s largest companies.
Beijing Petrochemical Engineering Corp is working closely with
Genoil to support us on these potential projects.
Crystal Oil & Water Separation Technology
Genoil’s
Crystal SeaTM separators are state-of-the-art bilge separators,
which have been certified by the US Coast Guard & American
Bureau of Shipping in accordance with the International Maritime
Organization Resolution MEPC 107 (49). Crystal Sea water
separators utilize a patented, unique gravity driven process for
compartmental multi-stage separation of immiscible phases with
different densities such as heavier or light oils and water.
Crystal SeaTM separators do not require a filter media making
it possible for customers to significantly reduce their cost of
ownership by eliminating the need to purchase the expensive
replacement filters required by competitive water separation
products. According to the feedback of presidents of two major
tanker lines estimate $9,000 per year in savings over competing
models.
Genoil’s
Crystal oil and water separator is a compact unit that is able to
handle small volumes (from .25 cubic meters per hour to 50) using a
compartmental process. Genoil has initiated work on the Crystal
3-phase oil- water separation technology.
Additionally,
Genoil has successfully completed testing on its improved Crystal
Sea bilge water separator at Testing Service, Inc., in Salt Lake
City, Utah, meeting IMO MEPC 107 (49) resolution and receiving the
United States Coast Guard certification, which requires bilge water
separators to have an effluent discharge of less than 15 ppm
impurities for territorial water and less that 5 ppm for discharge
into inland waters. Certification of the Crystal Sea was also
received from the American Bureau of Shipping.
The
Crystal Sea is the newest generation of our existing Crystal
technology. In the view of management, the Crystal Sea has
advantages over competing models including a smaller footprint, a
simple operating system, no requirement for back washing or
flushing with fresh water or sea water, therefore reduced
maintenance, very little use of water and no moving parts, except
for a pump. In addition to that, the oil removed using the Genoil
bilge cleaner is dry enough and of a quality that it can be reused
by other utilities aboard.
Several
entities are looking at the Crystal technology for produced water
at the oil field. The company is working to secure representation
for Industrial applications in China. The company is in
negotiations for this purpose.
In 2013
Genoil received a testimonial letter from Vela International Marine
Ltd. about a Crystal installation onboard a 330,000 TDW tanker
stating that the unit Crystal Sea performed satisfactorily.
Discussions are ongoing for the purchase of many more units and all
parties including Donghwa are in regular contact.
The
bilge separator market has a potential 84,000 ship market. Due to
streamlined production techniques, improved design and eagerness to
break into the market; Genoil has reduced the retail price
dramatically. Due to these measures we should be highly competitive
moving forward. We expect to generate revenue from the Crystal in
the near future.
During
November 2011, Genoil received ABS certification for all Crystal
Sea models. This accreditation is in addition to obtaining
the US Coast Guard/IMO MEPC 107 49 certification for Crystal MU 30
and MU 40 of 5 m3/h and 10 m3/h.
Fines
for overboard discharge pollution levels exceeding 15 parts per
million have been implemented around the world. New ships are
required to have bilge water cleaning systems that meet the higher
international pollution standards. Also, all ships built
prior to 2007 had to meet those standards by the close of
2009. A ship’s bilge is the lowest compartment of a
ship that collects water from different areas of the boat, such as
the engine room. The oily water released into the water of harbours
and bays significantly pollutes the environment. Genoil is
focusing on this market’s growing need for bilge water
separators to prevent large marine vessels from having to dump
waste oil into the ocean. The Company is marketing the
Crystal Sea globally, targeting shipyards, ship designers, ship
owners, cruise lines, and navies. Genoil also expects to
address the global contamination of a port’s water and is
looking into solutions to prevent shipping companies from
contaminating the waterways close to ports and beaches in several
countries.
In the
view of management, the Crystal Sea has advantages over competing
models including a smaller footprint, a simple operating system, no
requirement for back washing or flushing with fresh water or sea
water, therefore reduced maintenance, very little use of water and
no moving parts, except for a pump. In addition to that, the
oil removed using the Genoil bilge cleaner is dry enough and of a
quality that it can be reused by other utilities
onboard.
On
October 31, 2012, the Company announced that it renewed marketing,
manufacturing and distribution rights to Donghwa Entec, a reputable
Korean manufacturer of marine equipment. The rights pertain to
the Crystal Sea oily-water separators designed for
the new shipbuilding industry together with retrofitting of
existing ships. Genoil models feature one of the most compact bilge
separators worldwide with throughputs ranging from 0.25 m3/hr.
capacity to 10 m3/hr. units.
Genoil
has several patents for the Crystal technology.
MANAGEMENT & PERSONNEL CHANGES –2020
The
Company currently has seven full time employees, eighteen part time
employees and eleven contracted consultants and appointed
representatives located in various offices. The principal offices
are at – Two Hills AB, and New York, NY, Dubai UAE. The
company’s main assets are its hydrogen desulfurization,

cash flow to be generated in staged phases following the execution
of definitive agreements for the design, implementation and
procurement of its GHU™ systems and/or the licensing of its
intellectual property or the sales of Crystal oily water
separators. The Corporation has accumulated deficit of over $88
million to date and is not realizing any cash flow as it has not
attained commercial operations in connection with its various
patents and technology rights. Genoil has principally been a
technology research and development company. Commercialization
efforts are underway for GHU™. Genoil is marketing its
GHU™ (and related engineering and design services) to
refiners and producers of heavy sour crudes around the world and
believes that there is strong market potential for this technology.
Management estimates that there are approximately 900 billion
barrels of heavy oil reserves and current production from those
reserves is 9 million barrels per day of high sulphur heavy oil
that have the potential to be desulfurized and upgraded to lighter
products thereby increasing the yield of high value light
distillates and transportation fuels available from each barrel of
oil. The continued commercialization of Genoil’s GHU™
and Crystal both for Seaborne applications as well as land based
represents the next key phase in the company’s
growth.
Genoil
continues to progress with commercial level discussions with
several markets. Management believes that this is a key market for
its GHU™ technology as the region has several significant
reservoirs of heavy high sulfur oil. The company has created the
zero waste process specifically for its Middle East clients who
require a process, which does not need natural gas. The Company
remains committed to developing commercial opportunities in the
Middle East for the foreseeable future.
Genoil
is also exploring other projects where the Company may share in the
ownership of upgrading operations and/or heavy oil assets in
exchange for the utilization of the GHU™ technology at
cost.
GHU Upgrading Patent Renewal
On
April 30, 2009, Genoil received an additional and new patent from
the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for its hydroconversion
upgrader technology. The patent is a valuable addition to
Genoil’s upgrading process that economically upgrades and
significantly increases the yields from high sulphur, acidic, heavy
crude, bitumen, and refinery residues.
SUMMARY OF ANNUAL RESULTS
Genoil
has always sought to model its operations on the pre-IBM contract
Microsoft. Until it achieves a significant GHU®
Upgrading contract the company will focus on reducing costs.
Since the September 2008 Lehman and the oil market crash, we
downsized expenses even more as its goal was to weather the severe
economic depression by cutting unnecessary overhead. Despite these
reductions the company has expanded its sales coverage to countries
in key markets that contain over half the world’s oil
reserves. This new marketing and sales effort utilizes contract
commission agents or representatives who had to are responsible for
their own expenses.
All the
present employees of Genoil work on a profit sharing compensation
model, through stock or options. Its goal is to motivate
Genoil’s personnel and to link their success with
Genoil’s. This structure is designed to motivate
sales, and to discourage non-performance. The net loss decreased
from $3,632,162 to $1,502,626 in the year ended December 31, 2020
due mainly to decrease in the stock-based
compensation.
The
liabilities decreased from $8,231,387 as of December 31, 2019 to
$7,062,572 at December 31, 2020 due to a decrease of $3,810,281 in
due to related parties, offset by a $433,531 increase in accrued
interest payable to related parties and a $2,198,016 increase in
Convertible notes. More than half the liabilities are in Lifschultz
Family hands who have historically rolled over their liabilities
every year. Most of the other liabilities are in friendly
hands.
The
company relies on private placements for its funding and with
recent deals closed, is more confident that it will continue to be
able to fund its obligations at an accelerated pace. For the
year ended December 31, 2020 the Company closed private placements
totaling $421,460. Genoil’s strategy is to fund the operation
through private placements. It intends through smart cost
cutting techniques, and a leaner cost sales strategy, to operate on
an extremely low cash burn while significantly growing its sales
exposure.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP
requires Management to make certain judgments and estimates.
Changes in these judgments and estimates could have a material
impact on the Company’s financial results and financial
condition.
Management’s
process of determining the fair values assigned to any acquired
assets and liabilities in a business combination is based on
estimates. These estimates are significant and can include
future costs, future interest rates, future tax rates and other
relevant assumptions. Revisions or changes in any of these
estimates can have either a positive or a negative impact on asset
and liability values and net income.
The
fair value of stock options is based on estimates using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model and is recorded as share-based
payments expense in the financial statements.
EVALUATION
OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS
Disclosure controls
and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that
all relevant information is gathered and reported to senior
management, including the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief
Financial Officer (CFO), on a timely basis so that appropriate
decisions can be made regarding public disclosure.
For the
year ended December 31, 2020 the CEO and CFO have evaluated the
effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and
procedures as defined in National Instrument 52-109 of the Canadian
Securities Administrators and as defined in the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) and have concluded that
such controls and procedures were not effective because of the
material weaknesses described in Management’s Report on
Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
MANAGEMENT
REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL
The
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are responsible
for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over
financial reporting of the Company. Internal control over financial
reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States (GAAP).
The
Company's internal control over financial reporting includes those
policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records
that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the
transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; provide
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to
permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP,
and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made
only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors
of the Company; and provide reasonable assurance regarding
prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or
disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material
effect on the financial statements.
A
material weakness in internal controls is a significant deficiency,
or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more
than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the
financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely
basis by the Company.
We
note, however, that 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.
Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no
evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all
control issues including instances of fraud, if any, have been
detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that
judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and 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
controls. 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. Over time, our control systems may become inadequate
because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with
the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent
limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due
to error or fraud may occur and not be detected and could be
material and require a restatement of our financial
statements.
RISKS
The
ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and to
realize the carrying value of its assets and discharge its
liabilities when due is dependent on the Company’s ability to
continue to raise the necessary capital to fund the
commercialization of its patents and technology rights. There
is no certainty that the Company will be able to raise the
necessary capital.
To date
the Company has not achieved commercial operations from its various
patents and technology rights. The future of the Company is
dependent upon its ability to obtain additional financing to fund
the development of commercial operations.
The
Company has not earned profits to date and there is no assurance
that it will earn profits in the future, or that profitability, if
achieved, will be sustained. The commercialization of the
Company’s technologies requires financial resources and there
is no assurance that capital infusions or future revenues will be
sufficient to generate the funds required to continue the
Company’s business development and marketing
activities. If the Company does not have sufficient capital
to fund its operations, it may be required to forego certain
business opportunities or discontinue operations
entirely.
LIQUIDITY RISK
The
Company is subject to liquidity risk attributed from accounts
payable and other accrued liabilities and other liabilities.
Accounts payable and other accrued liabilities are primarily due
within one year of the balance sheet date.
INTEREST RATE RISK
Interest
rate risk is the risk that future cash flows will fluctuate as a
result of changes in market interest rates.
