Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
The term "disclosure controls and procedures" is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). This term refers to the controls and procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the required time periods. Our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operations of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, and has concluded that, as of that date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at ensuring that required information will be disclosed on a timely basis in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, as a result of the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting discussed in Item 9(A) of our Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2024.
(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
The Company is not currently involved (and has not been involved in recent periods) in any litigation matters. However, the Company is currently in discussions/negotiations with its creditors, as described in Management’s Discussion and Analysis, Note C. These negotiations could escalate to litigation if a mutually satisfactory resolution is not achieved.
As is described in the Company’s Financial Statements included herein and discussed above in Management’s Discussion and Analysis, Note C, the Company’s on-going difficulties raising needed funds for its operations/activities over the past 2 years has rendered the Company unable to meet its current creditor obligations on a timely basis. The Company has engaged in discussion/negotiation with its larger creditors (including its largest creditor--- the primary contractor on the Initial Project) but has been unable to reach agreements regarding payments due to the uncertainty as to if, when and how much funding the Company will be able to raise in future periods. As a result, the primary contractor has filed a mechanics lien in Indiana (and its largest sub-contractor has sent notices related to its intention to file a mechanics lien) and other creditors are threatening to commence litigation and/or repossess/remove leased equipment. However, to date they have not escalated to litigation. On September 5, 2024, three members of BION BLG, LLC, met with representatives of two of the largest creditors: the primary contractor and the property lessor. Bion has not reached an agreement with the primary contractor, but is still in discussions with them, and has resumed payments to certain creditors, whose services the Company requires to continue operations at Fair Oaks, including lease payments to the property lessor (and ongoing supplier of digestate used in testing the ARS).
The Company currently is not involved in any other material litigation or similar events.
