Overview
The Company was incorporated in the state of
We developed and tried to commercializing proprietary bio-based resins through two complementary product families: Cereplast Compostables resins which are compostable, renewable, ecologically sound substitutes for petroleum-based plastics, and Cereplast Sustainables resins (including the Cereplast Hybrid Resins product line), which replaces up to 90% of the petroleum-based content of traditional plastics with materials from renewable resources. Our resins could be converted into finished products using conventional manufacturing equipment without significant additional capital investment by downstream converters. In the summer of 2014, the Company ceased all operations and since that time has been inactive.

We have not yet generated sustained profits from our prior operations. Our
independent accountants have expressed a "going concern" opinion. As of
While our current burn rate is nominal, it is expected that our costs of operations will continue to exceed revenues, primarily due to the costs associated with being a public reporting company. Based upon our current business plan, we may continue to incur losses in the foreseeable future and there can be no assurances that we will ever establish profitable operations. These and other factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Critical Accounting Policies, Judgments and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations
is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in
accordance with
An accounting policy is considered to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made, and if different estimates that reasonably could have been used, or changes in the accounting estimate that are reasonably likely to occur, could materially impact the consolidated financial statements. We believe that the following critical accounting policies reflect the more significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
Income Taxes
The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for future income taxes. Under this method, future income tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities and their corresponding tax basis. In addition, the future benefits of income tax assets including unused tax losses, are recognized, subject to a valuation allowance to the extent that it is more likely than not that such future benefits will ultimately be realized. Future income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates and laws expected to apply when the tax liabilities or assets are to be either settled or realized. The Company's effective tax rate approximates the Federal statutory rates.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of
To the extent that the Company's capital resources are insufficient to meet
current or planned operating requirements, the Company will seek additional
funds through equity or debt financing, collaborative or other arrangements with
corporate partners, licensees or others, and from other sources, which may have
the effect of diluting the holdings of existing shareholders. The Company has no
current arrangements with respect to, or sources of, such additional financing
and the Company does not anticipate that existing shareholders will provide any
portion of the Company's future financing requirements.
No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available when needed or that such financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company. If adequate funds are not available, the Company may be required to delay or terminate expenditures for certain of its programs that it would otherwise seek to develop and commercialize. This would have a material adverse effect on the Company. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the accompanying financial
statements, we have incurred net losses of
Management believes the Company will continue to incur losses and negative cash flows from operating activities for the foreseeable future and will need additional equity or debt financing to sustain its operations until it can achieve profitability and positive cash flows, if ever. Management plans to seek additional debt and/or equity financing for the Company but cannot assure that such financing will be available on acceptable terms.
The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to ultimately attain profitable operations, generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations, and obtain additional financing as may be required. Our auditors have included a "going concern" qualification in their Report of Independent Certified Public Accountants accompanying our audited financial statements appearing elsewhere herein which cites substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Such a "going concern" qualification may make it more difficult for us to raise funds when needed. The outcome of this uncertainty cannot be assured.

The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. There can be no assurance that management will be successful in implementing its business plan or that the successful implementation of such business plan will actually improve our operating results.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources and would be considered material to investors
Inflation
We do not believe that inflation has had in the past or will have in the future any significant negative impact on our operations.
