Current report

**C:**On September 28, 2023, the Company entered into an agreement for a $1,500,000 bridge loan and executed a convertible promissory note with SEB LLC , a non-affiliated party. SEB and the note represented a strategic investment that would ‘anchor’ a larger capital raise, alongside Bion shareholders and new retail and institutional investors introduced by Titan Partners, the NY investment banking firm Bion engaged to underwrite the offering. An initial $250,000 tranche was received from SEB on October 5, 2023. During early November 2023 SEB informed the Company verbally that it did not intend to fulfill its obligations and since such time SEB has been in default. The default (which is continuing) has created substantial problems for and materially damaged the Company, since Titan was unwilling to participate in the offering. This rendered the Company unable to meet its creditor obligations on a timely basis and also contributed to the substantial increase in the Company’s ‘Current Liabilities’, including ‘accounts payable’, over recent periods. The Company is currently evaluating its rights regarding the default by SEB and has been in contact with SEB through a third-party. For more details on the SEB transactions, see the Company’s Form 10-K for 2025.

Current report

**E:**Effective April 1, 2024, the Company entered into two material definitive agreements (Giveback Agreements) regarding voluntary surrender for cancellation of securities of the Company (and related matters) by: a) members of the family of Dominic Bassani, recently deceased former Chief Executive Officer and (with his family) the Company’s largest shareholder (collectively “Bassani Family”), and b) Mark A. Smith, recently retired President of the Company and a director (“MAS”). MAS agreed to ‘give back’ 30 percent of his holdings. The Bassani Family agreed to surrender approximately 20% of its Company holdings immediately, and an additional 10 percent if Bion met certain terms and conditions. On January 18, 2025, the Bassani Family surrendered an additional 5 percent of their holdings after Bion met the first of those conditions. On September 15, 2025, as part of a subsequent Settlement Agreement (see P below), the Bassani family’s remaining 5 percent obligation under this agreement was cancelled. For more details on the Bassani Family and Smith 2024 Giveback Agreements, see the Company’s Form 10-K for 2025.

Current report

Effective May 29, 2025, the Company entered into a Forbearance Agreement with Bion BLG, LLC, extending the maturity date of the BLG Note to July 15, 2025 (See Bion’s Form 8-K, dated April 17, May 30 and July 24, 2025). Under the terms of the Forbearance Agreement, the amounts outstanding under the Note began to bear interest at a rate of 9% per annum.

Current report

On July 24, 2025, the Company entered into a Forbearance Agreement with Bion BLG, LLC, (effective July 15, 2025) extending the maturity date of the BLG Note to January 15, 2026 (attached as exhibit). The agreement was ratified by Bion’s Board on July 24, 2025. Under the terms of the Forbearance Agreement, the amounts outstanding under the Note will continue to bear interest at a rate of 9% per annum. Bion agreed to a new formula to determine BLG’s obligation for up to $100,000 in legal costs related to litigation over delinquent payment for construction costs incurred at Bion’s demonstration facility near Fair Oaks, IN (see Bion’s Forms 8-K, dated April 7 and 17, 2025). Bion BLG, LLC, also extended their agreement to share their collateral with investors in the three prior Shareholder Note offerings, with investors participating in a new offering, dated July 25, 2025.

Current report

K: On April 16, 2025, the Company was served a summons by Hamstra Builders, Inc. (“Hamstra”) along with three other defendants: Bion Technologies, Inc. (“Biontech”), Bion 3G-1, LLC (“3G-1”), both entities of Bion Environmental Technologies, Inc., and North Prairie Holdings, LLC (‘NPHLLC”) the property lessor. The Hamstra suit is related to the Notice of Intent to file a Mechanic’s Lien, that was filed April 16, 2024, and has been disclosed in our public filings since that date. Bion has retained counsel in Indiana to represent the company in these actions. Hamstra is seeking to recover $1,494,513 in unpaid invoices related to the construction of Bion’s Ammonia Recovery System at Fair Oaks, Indiana. This sum includes $653,915 owed to Dilling Group, Inc., a subcontractor of Hamstra. Dilling filed suit to recover that amount on March 31, 2025, which was disclosed in Bion’s 8-K, dated April 7, 2025.

Current report

L: In May 2025, Bion secured its first non-binding offtake commitments for its AB10 nitrogen fertilizer. The agreements were with Perfect Blend and Yield RNG, large West Coast organic fertilizer distributors. The agreements are attached as exhibits to Bion’s 8-k, dated May 30, 2025). Bion subsequently executed a similar offtake with a large integrated U.S. agribusiness concern that requested confidentiality. These three initial offtakes represent 250,000 gallons of Bion’s liquid AB10.

Current report

M: On May 30, 2025, Bion named Stephen J Posner to its Board of Directors and accepted the resignation of Turk Stovall as a director. Mr. Poser is a long-term Bion shareholder who spent a 50-year career in financial services and capital markets. Mr. Stovall, through his various roles and activities in the cattle business, was exposed to a wide range of potential conflicts of interest. It was mutually agreed that both Bion and Mr. Stovall’s interests would be better served by his focus on Stovall Ranching Companies and Yellowstone Cattle Feeders, while Bion focused on its opportunities independently. At this time, Bion turned its attention solely to its bolt-on opportunity and securing offtake agreements and identifying projects to supply them.

Current report

N: In June, Bion completed and released its Technology-Optimization Report, that details the development and 18-month optimization of the ARS at the demonstration facility in Fair Oaks, Indiana. The optimized ARS demonstrated it is stable and can maintain continuous steady-state operations, reliable, and scalable. The ARS also showed it can achieve its ammonia reduction targets by evaporating one-third less water than was anticipated and modeled. That translates to significantly better economics, including lower fertilizer production costs. The platform is now ready for the final design process of a full-scale commercial system, which is subject to project-specific details, location, and feedstock characteristics.

Current report

O: In August, Bion engaged Josh Rapport, MS, PhD, to find projects and strategic partners. He brings over 20 years' experience in researching, designing, building and operating anaerobic digesters for heat, power, and renewable natural gas (RNG), as well as in digestate treatment and utilization. He was VP Engineering for Brightmark, one of the largest RNG companies in the U.S. In less than four years, Brightmark launched 30 RNG projects worth over $500 million under his guidance, before he left the company in 2023 to start an independent consulting business. Josh joined Bion as a consultant with a success-based compensation package and it is anticipated he will join Bion as an employee if/when Bion initiates its first commercial project.

Current report

P: Effective September 15, 2025, two affiliates of the Company (Danielle Lominy and Christopher Parlow, family members of the late Dominic Bassani, Bion’s former CEO), and three non-affiliates of the Company (Dominic Bassani’s spouse, Mark A. Smith, previously a Director and President, and Edward Schafer, previously a Director) (referred to hereinafter collectively as ‘Holders’) have each individually agreed to a settlement (“Settlement Agreements”) that will simplify Bion’s capital structure and substantially reduce the number of Fully Diluted Shares. In consideration of the cancellation of various obligations and security instruments held by the Holders, including without limitation deferred compensation, convertible notes, warrants, and options, the Holders (as a whole) will receive, in aggregate, 8,101,746 shares of common stock. If all the instruments they forfeited had been converted or exercised, it could have increased the Company’s shares outstanding by 22,498,405. The transactions represent a net reduction in fully diluted shares of 14,369,659 and an increase in outstanding shares of 8,101,746 (approximately). The shares will be issued by January 15, 2026, or earlier upon the election of the individual Holders. Formal agreements attached as an exhibit to Bion’s Form 8-K, dated September 18, 2025.

Current report

The Company operates a single reportable segment: advanced waste treatment and resource recovery solutions for organic waste streams. While in the future the Company may pursue other segments—develop integrated livestock projects, implement CAFO retrofits, and exploit other opportunities to use its proprietary technology (as previously described)—at this time it is now focused entirely on bolt-on solutions for existing or planned biogas production facilities. The business is managed by the Chief Executive Officer who is the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). The CODM evaluates segment performance based on the operating income (loss) for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. The accounting policies of our single reportable segment are the same as those for the Company as a whole.

Previous report

B: Previous management believed that the Initial Project had reached the point where it could be appropriately deemed ‘placed in service’ at January 1, 2024. However, discussions with the key technical and engineering personnel involved at the Initial Project during the recently concluded fiscal year convinced management that such a characterization was premature as some key modules had not yet been completed and/or fully tested at that date. Additionally, due to some equipment break-downs, the Initial Project was in maintenance mode rather than conducting operations, while the Company awaited required replacement parts and subsequent repairs. This process was slowed by the Company’s ongoing difficulties in raising the funds needed for its activities. The Company’s Board of Directors re-evaluated the classification/status of the Initial Project as part of the Company’s annual review process and determined that the Initial Project should have been ‘placed in service’ at the June 30, 2024, fiscal year end.

Previous report

Further, after extensive discussion between previous management and the Board, it was determined that the ‘carrying value’ of the Initial Project, as of that date, be reduced to $0 on the Company balance sheet, in order to conform with accepted accounting practices. Bion’s technology demonstration system was always planned as a small scale integrated Gen3Tech beef project. Due to covid-related delays and increased capital constraints, it was decided to move quickly to initially construct Phase 1, which was the standalone ARS at Fair Oaks. As matters progressed, including cost overruns, management and financial crises, etc., Bion was unable to proceed further at Fair Oaks. It was anticipated that the ARS would be relocated to another site (potential locations included Ribbonwire Ranch or University of Nebraska-Lincoln) after providing the final design data, where it would be integrated with a small scale Gen3Tech beef facility as originally planned. We recently learned it would not be economically feasible to decommission and disassemble the ARS, then transport, reassemble, and recommission it at another location. Therefore, since the Initial Project is now: i) largely a research & development facility and ii) is located on land subject to a short-term lease, it no longer has commercial value and was written down to $0. As a result, a large ‘one time/non-recurring’ ‘non-cash’ charge of $9,460,425 has been taken by the Company, at that date, which charge reduced the Company shareholders’ equity to ($5,808,501) and resulted in a loss of $11,691,115 for the 2024 fiscal year.

Previous report

C: On September 28, 2023, the Company entered into an agreement for a $1,500,000 bridge loan and executed documents including a convertible promissory note (“Note”) and a binding subscription agreement (“Subscription”) (collectively the Note and the Subscription are the “Bridge Loan Agreements”) with SEB LLC, a non-affiliated party (“Lender”). SEB and the note represented a strategic investment that would ‘anchor’ a larger capital raise. In addition to SEB, it was to include an offering to Bion shareholders, alongside new retail and institutional investors introduced by Titan Partners, the NY investment banking firm Bion engaged to underwrite the offering. The Bridge Loan Agreements required the Lender to loan the Company $1,500,000 in six monthly tranches of $250,000 commencing October 2023. All sums advanced under the Bridge Loan Agreements (and accrued interest thereon) would be due and payable (with interest accrued at 9% per annum) on October 1, 2024 if not previously converted into securities of the Company. The Note is convertible at $1.00 per unit, at the sole election of the Lender, into units consisting of one share of the Company’s common stock and a warrant to purchase one half share. The initial $250,000 tranche was received by the Company on October 5, 2023. However, no further funds were received by the Company from the Lender.

Previous report

During early November 2023 the Lender informed the Company verbally that it did not intend to fulfill its obligations pursuant to the Bridge Loan Agreements and since such time the Lender has been in default (“Default”). Titan Partners informed the Company that it would be unable to complete an offering to their customers (or their syndicate member’s customers) without a strategic investor anchor. Further, the Company had very limited success raising money with its own shareholders for the same reason. The Default (which is continuing) has created substantial problems for and materially damaged the Company and rendered the Company unable to meet its current creditor obligations on a timely basis. The Company is currently evaluating its rights regarding the Default by the Lender. This situation has contributed to the substantial increase in the Company’s ‘Current Liabilities’, including ‘accounts payable’, over recent periods. See Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and ‘Management’s Discussion and Analysis’. 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 Company’s largest creditor---the primary contractor for the Initial Project --- 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). Further, as of October 1, 2024, the Company is in default of the terms of the note.

Previous report

On May 10, 2024 the Company received $150,000 from affiliates of the Bridge Loan Lender on terms not yet finalized and included in an agreement. These funds were received in the context of negotiations/discussions regarding a potential larger investment by affiliates and/or associates of the Lender but no further funds were received and the larger transaction was never completed. The funds were used primarily to re-initiate operations at the Initial Project. The Company is currently involved in discussions with representatives of SEB in an effort to achieve a mutually satisfactory resolution.

Previous report

D: At the end of December 2023, Bion achieved key objectives in the optimization of the Ammonia Recovery System at our commercial-scale demonstration facility in Fair Oaks, Indiana. Though delayed by supply chain issues, the demonstration at Fair Oaks confirmed the system's state-of-the-art capabilities and economics. In managements’ opinion, the wide applicability of the ARS and its environmental benefits cannot be overstated, as livestock-related and other nutrient issues continue to grow, both in the U.S. and globally.

Previous report

F: Effective April 1, 2024, the Company entered into two material definitive agreements regarding voluntary surrender for cancellation of securities of the Company (and related matters) by: a) members of the family of Dominic Bassani, recently deceased former Chief Executive Officer and (with his family) the Company’s largest shareholder (collectively “Bassani Family”), and b) Mark A. Smith, recently retired President of the Company and a director (“MAS”). The Bassani Family and MAS entered into these agreements with the intention of mitigating dilution to shareholders as new, successor management is added to the Company’s management team. The Bassani Family has agreed to surrender not less than approximately 20% of its Company holdings (as of December 2023) which surrender will increase to approximately 30% based on certain financing performances (see Form 8-K dated April 3, 2024, Exhibit 10.1). The Bassani Family will elect exactly which Company securities it will surrender for cancellation on or before June 30, 2024, the Company’s fiscal year end. The Bassani Family Agreement also sets forth requirements regarding conversion of convertible notes held by members of the Bassani Family after the security surrender. See Exhibit 10.1 for the material terms of the contemplated transactions. MAS has agreed to surrender approximately 30% of his Company holdings (as of December 2023). Immediately upon the effectiveness of the MAS Agreement, he cancelled all Company options held by him (2,425,000, in aggregate) and waived $56,250 of accrued deferred compensation (convertible into 75,000 shares of the Company’s common stock). The MAS Agreement also sets forth requirements regarding conversion of convertible notes held by MAS after the security surrender and references the planned retirement of MAS on or before May 15, 2024. See Exhibit 10.2 for the material terms of the contemplated transactions. Subsequently, and effective June 27, 2024, the Board of Directors of the Company agreed to amend the terms of the agreements dated April 1, 2024. The amendments solely extend any dates of certain required conversions and/or exercises (and related promissory note maturity dates and warrant expiration dates), if any, that were earlier than January 15, 2025, to said date. No changes were made regarding any ‘givebacks’ of securities of the Company. On June 30, 2024, the Bassani Family provided the Company with their list regarding surrender of 20% of its Company holdings (as of December 2023) (See Exhibit 10.1). As previously reported, MAS has previously completed 100% of his ‘give backs’.

Previous report

G: On May 13, 2024, the Board of Directors commenced a Board-led review of potential strategic alternatives to ensure the Company’s survival and to enhance Bion’s potential growth and maximize shareholder value. The review included assessing approaches to optimize the Company’s multiple business opportunities through alternative capital return strategies, potential strategic or financial transactions, and developing strategic initiatives best applicable to each opportunity created by our technology in order to consider all possible paths towards maximizing value creation. No timetable has been established for the conclusion of this review and no decisions related to any further actions or potential strategic alternatives have been made at this time. There can be no assurance that the review will result in any transaction or other strategic change or outcome.

Previous report

M: In mid-December, Bion completed the ARS data acquisition at Fair Oaks needed to support an independent engineering report being prepared by Buflovac/ Hebeler Process Solutions, which is expected to be completed in the current quarter. Further, during the week ended January 4, 2025, Bion successfully produced samples of its OMRI Listed 10-0-0 liquid nitrogen fertilizer. These samples were quality tested and subsequently sent to several major U.S. fertilizer manufacturers/ distributors that Bion is in discussions with and that had requested them in order to conduct in-house analysis. A 7-0-0 solution was also produced that was sent to a large West Coast fertilizer distributor that Bion is in discussions with. A sample of the 7-0-0 will accompany an application for registration under the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) that is being prepared.

Previous report

Bion’s new leadership team returned the company to its earlier approach, focusing on building an initial ‘flagship’ project to prove the ARS technology and the Gen3Tech platform it supports at full commercial scale. Leadership made this decision after determining that a) a large addressable market for sustainable beef does exist and consumers have demonstrated a ‘willingness to pay’ a premium for sustainable food products; however, since such products cannot be supplied today at scale, it is not a ‘ready’ market and will take time to develop), b) an entrenched industry is never eager for change and it will only occur through enlightened/ proven self-interest, and c) investment capital of the magnitude needed for large scale conversion to sustainable production will first require proof of concept.

Salaries and related payroll tax expenses were $278,000 and $475,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Consulting costs were $138,000 and $425,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The $197,000 decrease in salary costs is due to Bill O’Neill resigning, Dominic Bassani passing away and the Company not replacing the position and the retirement of Mark Smith. The $287,000 decrease in consulting costs were the result of the company’s efforts to conserve cash. Investor relations expenses were $33,000 and $228,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and the $195,000 decrease was due to less investor-related activity during the fiscal year in order to conserve cash and a vendor issuing a credit due to the result of an overcharge for services. Legal costs were $1,000 and $15,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Previous wording

The Company has been under substantial financial and management stress over the past twenty-four (24) months. Covid-related delays during technology pilot development at Buflovak in New York, followed by post-Covid supply chain disruptions during construction of our demonstration facility at Fair Oaks, have led to extreme difficulties in raising needed funds. These delays prevented us from meeting our project development and related capital timelines, and were further compounded by the death (following extended illness) of Dominic Bassani, who most recently served as our COO from May 2022 after serving as our CEO for the prior decade, the subsequent resignation of Bill O’Neill, Dominic’s replacement at the CEO position, effective May 31, 2024, followed by the retirement of Mark A. Smith, the Company’s recently retired President, General Counsel and Chief Financial Officer, effective July 31, 2024.

Previous wording

Since the end of May 2024, a new core leadership team has been installed (see H and I, below) and a short-term funding facility was implemented (see K, below). Bion is currently conducting a small shareholder offering with similar terms, while longer term capital solutions are being evaluated. Our new leadership team believes the financial and management difficulties Bion has faced are outweighed by the success of our technology demonstration and optimization initiatives at our Fair Oaks facility and the early responses we have had from potential fertilizer distribution partners. This success coincides with clear and growing trends in both sustainable agriculture and clean fuels technology, and related policy issues, that could favor Bion’s technology and business opportunities. Bion leadership believes this confluence of events positions the Company, assuming it aligns with appropriate strategic partners and obtains sufficient financing, to exploit a unique opportunity to participate in transformational change at the intersection of agriculture, renewable energy and clean fuels, clean air and water, and evolving consumer demand.

Current wording

At the end of May 2024, a new core leadership team was installed (seeG andH below) and a short-term funding strategy was implemented (seeI, below) while longer term capital solutions were pursued. These efforts are ongoing. Our new leadership team believes the difficulties Bion has faced are outweighed by our recent successes that include the technology demonstration and optimization at our Fair Oaks facility and the initial responses from our fertilizer outreach. This is coupled with strong recent interest in our ammonia control solution from the biogas operators and developers that will be needed to ensure a supply of feedstock for our fertilizer products. These successes coincide with growing trends in sustainable agriculture and fuels and the circular economy that favor Bion’s business opportunities. Bion leadership believes this confluence of events positions the Company, assuming it aligns with appropriate strategic partners and obtains sufficient financing, to exploit a unique opportunity at the intersection of agriculture, renewable energy, the environment, and consumer demand.

Previous wording

A: The Company is not currently generating any significant revenues. Further, the Company’s anticipated revenues, if any, from existing Projects, JVs and proposed Projects will not be sufficient to meet the Company’s anticipated operational and capital expenditure needs for many years. Current liabilities were approximately $6.8 million at March 31, 2025 which represents an increase of approximately $1,040,000 from June 30, 2024 (largely due to new debt as well as increased deferred compensation). Similarly, the Company’s cash on hand decreased from approximately $52,000 to approximately $5,000 over the same period. The Company has faced extreme difficulty obtaining needed funding during the entire 2024 fiscal year, which has continued throughout the first nine months of the current fiscal year to date.

Current liabilities were approximately $6.0 million at September 30, 2025 which represents a decrease of approximately $1.2M from June 30, 2025 (largely due to Settlement Agreements detailed inP below). Similarly, the Company’s cash on hand increased from approximately $4,400 to approximately $27,700 over the same period. The Company has faced extreme difficulty obtaining needed funding during the entire 2025 fiscal year, which has continued throughout the first three months of the current fiscal year to date.

During the year ended June 30, 2024, a one-time, non-recurring, non-cash charge of $9,460,425 was incurred by the Company in connection with a write-down of the capitalized carrying value of the Initial Project (at Fair Oaks, Indiana) because the Initial Project was recently reclassified as largely a research & development facility and is located on land subject to a short term lease (as described below in Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis). This charge reduced the Company shareholders’ equity to ($5,808,501) and resulted in a loss of $11,691,115 for the 2024 fiscal year.

Current wording

**B:Effective June 30, 2024, at the same time the Initial Project was deemed placed in service, it was determined that because the Company’s Initial Project at Fair Oaks, IN, was i) largely a research & development facility and ii) is located on land subject to a short-term lease, it no longer had commercial value and its ‘carrying value’ was reduced to $0 on the Company balance sheet, in order to conform with accepted accounting practices. As a result, a large ‘one time/non-recurring’ ‘non-cash’ charge of $9,460,425 was taken by the Company, which charge reduced the Company shareholders’ equity to ($5,808,501) and resulted in a loss of $11,691,115 for the 2024 fiscal year. GAAP accounting rules required the write-down and zero carrying value; however, the Fair Oaks facility has been and continues to be the most important asset of the Company. In addition to providing data needed to optimize a full-scale commercial system, Bion has conducted dozens of demonstrations with developers and operators, engineering firms, potential fertilizer and finance partners, and others. Further, Fair Oaks is operating at capacity to produce samples of Bion’s Ammonium Bicarbonate fertilizers for testing by various stakeholders. For more details on the Initial Project, see the Company’s Form 10-K for 2025. **

E: On January 2, 2024, Bion received a new (continuation) patent that broadened the claims related to its Ammonia Recovery System (ARS) to include industrial and municipal wastewater sources, in addition to animal waste streams that were previously covered. Since that time, Bion has and will continue to direct part of its limited resources to understanding and evaluating opportunities to apply its ARS as a ‘standalone’ or ‘bolt-on’ ammonia control solution in these sectors. In such cases, the ARS would be deployed as a standalone ammonia control solution (vs integrated into a Bion Gen3Tech platform) for facilities (both new and existing) that produce biogas from organic waste streams, such as food, food processing, and livestock packing/slaughter. These facilities are subject to EPA-mandated discharge limits that require ammonia control or face other limitations on ammonia/nitrogen in the effluent from biogas production. We believe at this time there is potentially a robust opportunity to provide bolt-on ammonia control solutions to others, both in the industrial and animal waste sectors. We intend to pursue the bolt-on opportunity in the coming year and have already begun to shift some of our limited resources in that direction.

J: On June 18, 2024, Bion formed a strategic relationship with Turk Stovall and Stovall Ranching Companies with the goal of developing a 16,000-head sustainable beef project at Stovall’s Yellowstone Cattle Feeders (YCF) location in Shepherd, Montana. The YCF feedyard is a traditional outdoor dirt feedlot that today is permitted to feed up to 25,000 head. Mr. Stovall also agreed to join Bion's Board of Directors and lead a joint venture between Stovall Ranching Companies and Bion to develop the project. The facility is envisioned to produce premium quality Montana beef that we believe will be the 'cleanest', most eco-friendly finished beef in the marketplace.

To help alleviate short-term cash needs for continued operations, in August, three affiliates of the Company (Greg Schoener, Interim COO & Director; Turk Stovall, Director; Bob Weerts, Director) and two shareholders (one of whom is the brother of Greg Schoener) began advancing money to Bion to cover critical payables. They subsequently formed a loan group, BION BLG, LLC (“BLG”), and provided short-term funding for Bion in a secured promissory note of up to $500,000. Schoener, Weerts, and the two non-affiliate members were also large Bion shareholders, prior to the formation of BLG. As a group, Schoener, Stovall, and Weerts own 60% of BLG, which has a security interest in the Company’s Intellectual Property. The BLG note will bear interest at a rate of 7.5% per annum and the maturity date is April 15, 2025. As of the filing date, BLG has advanced $399,763. The BLG note will convert into Units (shares and/or warrants) in the Company at the terms of a later capital raise, in which Bion crosses the threshold of $3 (three) million in aggregate capital raised (or other source of funding, and other terms as defined in the note). If the Company is unable to complete such funding within six (6) months, it will be in default of the BLG note, which is secured by the Company’s Intellectual Property (“IP” “Collateral”). BLG will share the Collateral on a pro rata basis with investors in a secured promissory note with similar terms being offered to previous Bion investors. The BLG note and security agreements contain other terms set forth therein and are included as exhibits to this filing.

L: In November, the Company launched a secured promissory note offering to previous investors/shareholders (and certain others) with similar terms to the BLG note. Based on feedback from shareholders and registered representatives with which the Company has long standing relationships, management believes that sufficient capital can be raised with this group to 1) continue to cover critical payables to maintain operations that will allow the Company to finish the engineering report and technology demonstration at Fair Oaks, 2) move forward with pre-development work on the Stovall project, 3) continue discussions with potential strategic partners, and 4) position ourselves for the larger offering/ funding that will be required. However, there can be no assurance the Company will be successful in its efforts to obtain such financing.

Through the end of calendar 2022, Bion’s strategy to exploit the beef opportunity was focused on developing an initial sustainable beef project as ‘proof of concept’. At the beginning of 2023, under the guidance of our last CEO, Bion’s strategy shifted to executing multiple letters of intent and agreements for sustainable beef JV projects and moving forward with development of those projects in quick succession. During our 2023 fiscal year, Bion entered into three (3) letters of intent (“LOIs”): a) July 2022 letter of intent to develop a large-scale commercial project - a 15,000-head sustainable beef cattle feeding operation together with the Ribbonwire Ranch (“Ribbonwire LOI”), in Dalhart, Texas (with a provision to expand to 60,000 head) (“Dalhart Project”), b) January 2023 letter of intent to develop a large-scale commercial project - a 15,000-head sustainable beef cattle feeding operation together with the Olson Feeders and TD Angus (“Olson LOI”), near North Platte, Nebraska (with a provision to expand to 45,000 head or more) (“Olson Project”), c) April 2023 letter of intent to develop a large-scale commercial project - a 15,000-head sustainable beef cattle feeding operation together with Dakota Valley Growers (“DVG LOI”) near Bathgate, North Dakota (“DVG Project”). Based on our experience, we believe it will not be difficult to secure participation in our Projects from additional feeders/cattlemen, especially once project financing and offtake agreements for both protein and co-products, are in place.

Current wording

Through the end of calendar 2022, Bion’s strategy to exploit the beef opportunity was focused on developing an initial sustainable beef project as ‘proof of concept’. At the beginning of 2023, under the guidance of Bill O’Neill, our immediately previous CEO, Bion’s strategy shifted to executing multiple letters of intent and agreements for sustainable beef JV projects and moving forward with development of those projects in quick succession. During our 2023 fiscal year, Bion entered into three (3) letters of intent (“LOIs”) to develop large integrated beef projects. It became increasingly apparent that while it was easy to find feeders/cattle production partners, finding partners that could and would commit to beef and coproduct offtake agreements was much more difficult. Without such partners, it would be all but impossible to finance integrated projects. As described above, Mr. O’Neill decided he was unable to accomplish this strategy and departed Bion in May 2024.

Previous wording

Leadership continues to believe, for several reasons, that the best opportunity for the Company to prove its sustainable beef concept is with the Stovall Ranch JV in Montana. In June 2024, Bion formed a strategic relationship with Turk Stovall and Stovall Ranching Companies. Turk Stovall is a fifth-generation Montana cattleman, with an extensive graduate-level education in cattle husbandry and an MBA in agribusiness, and he is the largest custom cattle feeder in Montana. He also has broad experience and relationships with both the U.S. and Montana’s beef industry and important state leaders, resources, and agencies. Bion and Stovall have agreed to establish a JV, to be led by Mr. Stovall, with the goal of developing a 16,000-head sustainable beef project at Stovall’s Yellowstone Cattle Feeders (‘YCF’) location in Shepherd, Montana. While we still plan to implement an ammonia recovery system at Stovall/YCF, we are now actively seeking opportunities to develop projects more quickly.

Current wording

Bion’s new leadership team returned the company to its earlier approach, focusing on building an initial ‘flagship’ project to prove the ARS technology and the Gen3Tech platform it supports. New leadership continued to focus on beef, for several reasons, and believed the best opportunity for the Company to prove its sustainable beef concept was with the Stovall Ranch JV in Montana.

He also has broad experience and relationships with both the U.S. and Montana’s beef industry and important state leaders, resources, and agencies. Bion and Stovall agreed to establish a JV, that was to be led by Mr. Stovall, with the goal of developing a 16,000-head sustainable beef project at Stovall’s Yellowstone Cattle Feeders (‘YCF’) location in Shepherd, Montana. However, over the following months, it became apparent to Bion’s leadership that a) Bion did not have the requisite strategic partners or resources needed to develop these large integrated projects, even a single one, b) that project development timelines would be much longer than anticipated, and c) it was unlikely Bion would be able to raise sufficient capital to execute such a plan.

Previous wording

We have correspondingly devoted most of our resources to the bolt-on business opportunity: using the ARS as a standalone ammonia control solution for others’ biogas production facilities. We are currently focused on existing large-scale livestock facilities with digesters in place, since they have waste streams for which the ARS has been optimized. Further, we are also adding resources to pursue opportunities we believe we have in the larger industrial wastewater sector, where regulatory drivers already exist, and we believe the ARS and its byproducts may give us a competitive advantage over existing solutions. We have no intention of abandoning our opportunities to develop integrated sustainable livestock projects. However, we believe the bolt-on business opportunity has the advantage of requiring substantially less project development capital and could represent a much shorter path to fertilizer production and revenues.

Current wording

The Company’s on-going difficulties raising needed funds over the past two years have 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 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. The Company is behind on its lease payments related to the site of the Initial Project. On September 5, 2024, three members of the LLC met with representatives of two of the largest creditors: the primary contractor and the property lessor. We have 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). Discussions and ultimate resolution are ongoing and subject to Bion’s ability to raise capital in a timely manner. We have implemented extreme cost savings measures: maintaining only mission-critical operations and funding, on a weekly basis, funding only those expenses needed to maintain operations. These measures will continue until we can execute a larger financing or obtain other sources of capital, such as a potential strategic investor/partner or license agreement.

Previous wording

Bion is currently in discussions with several potential strategic partners in engineering, renewable energy (biogas/RNG) and clean fuels, organic fertilizer distribution, and others involved in reducing the environmental footprint of biogas and livestock production. With today’s U.S, and global emphasis on decarbonizing energy and the food supply chain, and their impacts on water and air pollution, the sectors have become closely intertwined. They are evolving quickly, and integrated solutions have become increasingly desired, but complex. Bion is now evaluating engineering and construction firms, biogas operators, and others as potential development partners for industrial opportunities. Further, with the recent OMRI Listing for its commercial fertilizer, the Company has initiated discussions with several large U.S. fertilizer manufacturers and distributors that have expressed interest in the product. Bion believes that such relationships could entail a direct investment in Bion, licensing fee, or some other ‘up front’ financial benefit to Bion, although there is no assurance that they will. The Company recently finished data acquisition at Fair Oaks needed to complete an independent engineering report that is critical to demonstrating the technology performance and economics of its ammonia recovery technology to potential strategic partners.

Current wording

Bion has continued to raise minimal capital through our Shareholder Note Offerings and we have implemented extreme cost savings measures: maintaining only mission-critical operations and funding. Despite the Company’s financial state, the technology has been optimized and proven, the requisite organic approvals for the fertilizer have been obtained, initial offtake partners have been identified, and (nonbinding) agreements executed. We are now in discussions with several potential strategic partners in engineering, renewable energy (biogas/RNG) and clean fuels, organic fertilizer distribution, and others involved in reducing the environmental footprint of biogas, agriculture, and livestock production. Bion is now evaluating a number of these as potential development and finance partners for project opportunities. Further, the Company has initiated discussions with several large U.S. organic fertilizer manufacturers and distributors that have demonstrated interest in the product. Bion believes that any of these industry relationships could entail a direct investment in Bion, licensing fee, or some other ‘up front’ financial benefit to Bion, although there is no assurance that they will.

Previous wording

Bion’s new leadership team is strongly committed to Bion’s continuation, its future success, and its shareholders. We have refocused the Company’s efforts to the bolt-on opportunity, to prove the technology at full scale and reach revenues more quickly. We believe this will put us on a more achievable path. Further, this strategy will substantially reduce our need for capital, and we believe that a more reasonable and credible objective will make it easier to raise that capital. We also believe that the recent changes in leadership will lend validation and credibility to Bion and its business plan, making it easier to execute needed strategic alliances and raise capital from potential strategic, institutional, and retail investors.

Previous wording

As previously noted, the Company is currently not generating significant revenue and accordingly has not generated cash flows from operations. The Company does not anticipate generating sufficient revenues to offset operating and capital costs for a minimum of two to five years. While there are no assurances that the Company will be successful in its efforts to develop and construct its Projects and market its Systems, it is certain that the Company will require substantial funding from external sources. As stated in multiple places in this report, over the last 3 months the Company has had only very limited success in raising needed funds which lack of success has had material negative effects on the Company and its business. Given the unsettled state of the current credit and capital markets for companies such as Bion, there is no assurance the Company will be able to raise the funds it needs on reasonable terms.

Previous wording

The Company continues to explore sources of additional financing to satisfy its current operating requirements as it is not currently generating any significant revenues. During fiscal year 2023 and 2022 (as a whole), the Company faced less difficulty in raising equity funding (but was subject to substantial equity dilution from the larger amounts of equity financing during the periods) than was experienced in the prior 3 years. However, this positive trend did not continue during the last quarter of the 2023 fiscal year and the entirety of fiscal year 2024 (and the first three quarters of 2025 through the date of this report). The Company raised very limited equity funds during such periods to meet some of its immediate needs, and therefore, the Company needs to raise substantial additional funds in the upcoming periods. The Company faced substantial demand for capital and operating expenditures for the fiscal year 2024 that we anticipate will continue (or increase) during the 2025 fiscal year and periods thereafter as it moves toward commercial implementation of its ARS, 3G Tech and development of JVs (including costs associated with additions of personnel to carry out the business activities of the Company) and, therefore, is likely to continue to face significant cash flow management issues due to limited capital resources and working capital constraints which had only begun to be alleviated during 2022 and 2023. As a result, the Company has faced, and continues to face, significant cash flow management challenges due to material working capital constraints. To partially mitigate these working capital constraints, the Company's core senior management and some key employees and consultants have been deferring most of their cash compensation and/or are accepting compensation in the form of securities of the Company and members of the Company's senior management have from time-to-time made loans to the Company in the past and may do so in future periods.

Year to date ended March 31, 2025 the Company had a loss of $2,057,000 including $837,000 non-cash compensation expenses related to extension of warrants and options.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, the Company had a loss of $2,380,000 including $844,000 non-cash compensation expenses related to extension of warrants and options.

Previous wording

The constraints on available resources have had, and continue to have, negative effects on the pace and scope of the Company’s efforts to operate and develop its business. The Company has had to delay payment of trade obligations and has had to economize in many ways that have potentially negative consequences. If the Company is able to raise needed funds during the remainder of the current fiscal year (and subsequent periods), of which there is no assurance, management will not need to consider deeper cuts (including additional personnel cuts) and/or curtailment of ongoing activities including research and development activities. The Company will need to obtain additional capital to fund its operations and technology development, to satisfy existing creditors, and to develop Projects. The Company anticipates that it will seek to raise from $3,000,000 to $10,000,000 or more debt and/or equity through sale of its equity securities (common, preferred and/or hybrid) and/or debt (including convertible) securities, and/or through use of ‘rights’ and/or warrants (new and/or existing) and/or license payments and/or through other means during the next twelve months. Further, Bion will be required to raise $15 million (or more) to fund its initial project, in a combination of debt financing and equity investment. However, as discussed above, there is no assurance, especially in light of the difficulties the Company has experienced in many recent years and the extremely unsettled capital markets that presently exist for small pre-revenue companies like us, that the Company will be able to obtain the funds that it needs to stay in business, complete its technology development or to successfully develop its business and Projects. Ultimately, in the event the Company cannot secure additional financial resources, or complete a strategic transaction in the longer term, the Company may need to curtail or suspend its operational plans or current initiatives, or potentially liquidate its business interests, and investors may lose all or part of their investment.

K: To help alleviate short-term cash needs for continued operations, in August, three affiliates of the Company (Greg Schoener, Interim COO & Director; Turk Stovall, Director; Bob Weerts, Director) and two shareholders (one of whom is the brother of Greg Schoener) began advancing money to Bion to cover critical payables. They subsequently formed a loan group, BION BLG, LLC (“BLG”), and have continued to provide short-term funding for Bion in a secured promissory note of up to $500,000. Schoener, Weerts, and the two non-affiliate members were also large Bion shareholders, prior to the formation of BLG. As a group, Schoener, Stovall, and Weerts own 60% of BLG, which has a security interest in the Company’s Intellectual Property. The BLG note will bear interest at a rate of 7.5% per annum and the maturity date is April 15, 2025. As of the filing date, BLG has advanced $399,763. The BLG note will convert into Units (shares and/or warrants) in the Company at the terms of a later capital raise, in which Bion crosses the threshold of $3 (three) million in aggregate capital raised (or other source of funding, and other terms as defined in the note). If the Company is unable to complete such funding within six (6) months, it will be in default of the BLG note, which is secured by the Company’s Intellectual Property (“IP” “Collateral”). BLG will share the Collateral on a pro rata basis with investors in a Note with similar terms being offered to previous Bion investors. The BLG note and security agreements contain other terms set forth therein and are included as exhibits to this filing.

As a group, Schoener, Stovall, and Weerts own 60% of BLG, which has a security interest in the Company’s Intellectual Property. The BLG note bears interest at a rate of 9% per annum and the maturity date is January 15, 2026. As of the filing date, BLG has advanced $407,384. The BLG note will convert into Units (shares and/or warrants) in the Company at the terms of a later capital raise, in which Bion crosses the threshold of $3 (three) million in aggregate capital raised (or other source of funding, and other terms as defined in the note).

Previous wording

In November, the Company launched a secured promissory note offering to previous investors/shareholders (and certain others) with similar terms to the BLG note. Based on feedback from shareholders and registered representatives with which the Company has long standing relationships, management believes that sufficient capital can be raised with this group to 1) continue to cover critical payables to maintain operations that will allow the Company to finish the engineering report and technology demonstration at Fair Oaks, 2) move forward with pre-development work on the Stovall project, 3) continue discussions with potential strategic partners, and 4) position ourselves for the larger offering/funding that will be required, as described above. However, there can be no assurance the Company will be successful in its efforts to obtain such financing.

As of the filing date, Bion has raised $816,000 in the Shareholder Note offerings. Further, Bion has changed its focus from pre-development work on the Stovall project, to an initial bolt-on project at an existing or planned facility.
