NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
Note 1—Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation
Earth Gen-Biofuel, Inc. (the “Company” or “Earth
Gen”) was incorporated in the state of Nevada on August 28, 2012 to pursue the business of becoming an international agricultural
company focused on growing plants that are the basis for providing renewable sources for manufacturing processes and energy.
On September 25, 2012, Earth Gen entered into an Agreement of
Share Exchange and Plan of Reorganization (the “Exchange Agreement”) with EarthBlock Technologies, Inc. (“EarthBlock”),
a Nevada publicly traded corporation, pursuant to which EarthBlock acquired 100% of the ownership of the Company in exchange for
63,666,400 shares of EarthBlock’s common stock (the “Exchange”) on the basis of four shares of EarthBlock for
one share of Earth Gen outstanding as of October 14, 2012.
Upon the completion of the Exchange, Earth Gen operated as a
wholly owned subsidiary of EarthBlock and focused its efforts to begin its international agricultural operations. In October of
2012, Earth Gen began to organize farmers and government related agencies in Laos and Vietnam to control land for growing castor
beans. Prior to Earth Gen becoming a subsidiary of EarthBlock, Earth Gen’s management had spent over two years creating the
relationships and working with local farmers to build an organization and obtain the knowledge and expertise to become a major
grower of castor beans in these countries.
The common stock of EarthBlock was registered with the SEC under
the Exchange Act and was quoted on OTCQB operated by the OTC Markets Group Inc. EarthBlock failed to comply with Exchange Act Section
13(a) because it had not filed any periodic reports with the SEC since the period ended December 31, 2007. EarthBlock consented
to a deregistration order of the SEC, and pursuant to Section 12(j) of the Exchange Act, registration of EarthBlock’s common
stock was revoked and trading in EarthBlock’s common stock was suspended.
Additionally, the shareholders of Earth Gen were not made aware
of the full extent of a material liability of EarthBlock that resulted from the operations of EarthBlock’s non-operational
subsidiary EarthBlock Texas Homes, Inc. As a result of the liability not being included in proper detail and information regarding
its effect on EarthBlock’s financial statements, EarthBlock’s previously disclosed financial condition was inaccurate.
On September 25, 2013, the Board of Directors of EarthBlock
and of Earth Gen voted to rescind the acquisition of Earth Gen by EarthBlock and authorized the officers of the Corporation to
take the steps required to complete the rescission of the Exchange.
A rescission agreement dated October 28, 2013 (the “Rescission
Agreement”) was entered into by and among EarthBlock, Earth Gen and the shareholders. A majority of Earth Gen shareholders
approved the Rescission Agreement on October 28, 2013. The Rescission Agreement sets forth the terms and provisions where the parties
agreed to take all steps necessary and proper to unwind the Exchange including the surrender of the Exchange Shares for cancellation
and Earth Gen to issue to each Exchange Share shareholder his respective original equity interests in Earth Gen. The Additional
Shares will remain outstanding and will ratably dilute the Exchange Share shareholders pre-Exchange, original equity ownership
in Earth Gen as a result.
The Rescission Agreement offer terminated on October 10, 2014.
Pursuant to the terms of the Rescission Agreement, Earth Gen issued a total of 50,645,600 Earth Gen common stock shares to participating
holders of Exchange Shares commensurate with the holders’ respective original equity interests in Earth Gen. Earth Gen also
issued a total of 7,030,400 Additional Shares. No additional Earth Gen common stock shares will be issued as a result of the rescission
of the Reverse Merger. One Shareholder owning 7,560,000 Exchange Shares did not become a party to the Rescission Agreement and
will retain his EarthBlock common stock shares and with no equity interest in Earth Gen.
In March 2014, Earth Gen-Biofuel Lao Sole Co Ltd (“Earth
Gen Laos”) was formed under the laws of Laos to meet Laos’s regulatory and legal requirements to do business in Laos.
This company is 100% controlled by Earth Gen. Earth Gen Laos has its own in-country bank accounts denominated in US dollars through
which it pays all local operating expenses of the business activities of Earth Gen in Laos.
In March of 2016, Earth-Eco Agriculture Inc. (“Earth-Eco”)
was formed as a Nevada corporation and 100% owned subsidiary of Earth Gen-Biofuel Inc. There were no operation of Earth-Eco Agriculture
for the period ended March 31, 2016. Earth-Eco Agriculture Inc. was formed for the management of Earth Gen-Biofuel Inc’s
non-castor bean operations.
Note 2—Going Concern
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern
basis, which implies that the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of
business. As of March 31, 2016, the Company has an accumulated deficit since inception. The continuation of the Company as a going
concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its management, and its ability to identify future investment opportunities
and obtain the necessary debt or equity financing, and generating profitable operations from the Company’s future operations.
These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements
do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities
that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Note 3—Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company and its subsidiary. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Unaudited Interim Financial Information
These unaudited interim financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial reporting and the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission that permit reduced disclosure for interim periods. Therefore, certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management,
all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations
and cash flows for the periods presented have been made. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016.
The balance sheets and certain comparative
information as of December 31, 2015 are derived from the audited financial statements and related notes for the year ended December
31, 2015 (“2015 Annual Financial Statements”), included in the Company’s 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K. These
unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2015 Annual Financial Statements.
Basic and Diluted Loss per Common Share
Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s
net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Diluted loss per
share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net loss available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number
of shares outstanding during the period. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number
of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. Diluted loss per share excludes all dilutive potential shares if
their effect is anti-dilutive.
The Company has issued common stock purchase warrants and entered
into convertible note; however, they are anti-dilutive given the net loss incurred for the periods presented. As a result, 7,139,286
potentially dilutive common stock equivalents (presented post-dividend and post-split) were excluded from the calculation of diluted
loss per common share as of March 31, 2016. Therefore, dilutive and basic losses per common share are equal.
Inventory
Inventory consists of raw materials consisting of castor bean
seeds. Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost or market, using the first-in, first-out method. Cost is determined at the
actual cost for raw materials.
Expenditures on growing crops are valued at the lower of cost
or market and are deferred and charged to cost of sales when the related crops are harvested and sold. The deferred growing costs
included in inventories in the balance sheets consist primarily of land rental cost and service costs.
In assessing the ultimate realization of inventories, the management
makes judgments as to future demand requirements compared to current or committed inventory levels. The Company’s reserve
requirements generally increase or decrease with its projected demand requirements and market conditions. The Company estimates
the demand requirements based on market conditions, forecasts prepared by its customers, sales contracts and orders in hand.
In addition, the Company estimates net realizable value based
on intended use, current market value and inventory ageing analyses. The Company writes down the inventories for estimated obsolescence
or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventories and the estimated market value based upon assumptions
about future demand and market conditions.
Based on the above assessment,
the Company recorded an inventory reserve of $28,466 and $115,963
as of March 31, 2016 and
December 31, 2015, respectively.
Timber Rights
Timber rights represent the exclusive rights acquired by the
Company to extract and purchase all commercial timber logs extractable from a designated timber concession area.
Timber rights are stated at cost less accumulated amortization
and impairment loss, if any.
The timber rights are amortized on the basis of the volume of
timber logs extracted during the year as a proportion of the total estimated timber logs extractable over the remaining period
of timber extraction.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue from sales of the Company’s products is recognized
upon customer acceptance, which occurs at the time of delivery to the customer, provided persuasive evidence of an arrangement
exists, such as signed sales contract, the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer at the
time when the products are delivered to its customers with no significant post-delivery obligation on our part, the sales price
is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured. The Company does not provide its customers with contractual rights
of return and post-delivery discount for any of its products. When there is any significant post-delivery performance obligations
exists, revenue is recognized only after such obligations are fulfilled. The Company evaluates the terms of sales agreement with
its customers in order to determine whether any significant post-delivery performance obligations exist.

located in the Laos People’s Democratic Republic. The farm covers nearly 27 acres and has approximately 9,000 Aguilaria trees,
which are cultivated to produce Agarwood. According to the purchase agreement, Phonehong Tree Farms assigned the rights to all
Agarwood trees on the land and the future rights to all products grown on the land for a period of 40 years to Earth-Eco. In exchange
for the rights, Earth Gen issued 2,500,000 shares of its restricted common stock to the owner of Phonehong Tree Farms. The shares
