PART 1.  FINANCIAL INFORMATION

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
This Form 10-QSB contains “forward-looking statements” relating to Renewal Fuels, Inc. (formerly Tech Laboratories, Inc.) (referred to as the “Company” or “we”, “us” or “our” in this Form 10-Q), which represent the Company’s current expectations or beliefs including, but not limited to, statements concerning the Company’s operations, performance, financial condition and growth. For this purpose, any statements contained in this Form 10-Q that are not statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, words such as “may”, “anticipation”, “intend”, “could”, “estimate”, or “continue” or the negative or other comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements by their nature involve substantial risks and uncertainties, such as credit losses, dependence on management and key personnel, variability of quarterly results, and the ability of the Company to continue its growth strategy and competition, certain of which are beyond the Company’s control. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual outcomes and results could differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements.

Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement or statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. New factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all of such factors, nor can it assess the impact of each such factor on the business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF MARCH 31, 2008
(UNAUDITED)
 

Reorganization of Tech Laboratories, Inc. and Reverse Merger with Renewal Biodiesel, Inc.

On April 20, 2007, Renewal Fuels, Inc., formerly Tech Laboratories, Inc. (the “Company” or “we”, “us”, “our”), and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Renewal Fuels Acquisitions, Inc. (“Renewal Acquisitions”), entered into a merger agreement (the “Renewal Merger Agreement”) with Renewal Biodiesel, Inc. (formerly Renewal Fuels, Inc.) (“Renewal Biodiesel”). Renewal Biodiesel was incorporated in the state of Delaware on March 9, 2007 for the purpose of the acquisition of the FuelMeister Business described below. Pursuant to the Renewal Merger Agreement, Renewal Acquisitions was merged with and into Renewal Biodiesel. The former shareholders of Renewal Biodiesel were issued an aggregate of 343,610 shares of the Company’s series A convertible preferred stock (the “Preferred Stock”), which were immediately convertible at the option of the holders into an aggregate of 268,588 shares of our common stock. Following approval of the Renewal Merger Agreement by our shareholders, the Preferred Stock became convertible at the option of the holders into an aggregate of 22,907,323 shares of our common stock. On June 21, 2007, all of the holders converted their shares of Preferred Stock into 22,907,323 shares of the Company’s common stock.

Tech Laboratories had no active business operations immediately prior to the merger. Mr. John King, former Chief Executive Officer and Mr. David Marks, Chairman were officers and directors and were minority shareholders of Renewal Biodiesel, Inc.

On July 9, 2007, the Company, which was a New Jersey entity (“Tech Labs-NJ”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Tech Laboratories, Inc., a Delaware entity (“Tech Labs - DE”) under which Tech Labs - NJ and Tech Labs - DE were merged with and into the surviving corporation, Tech Labs - DE, whose name was subsequently changed on August 1, 2007 to Renewal Fuels, Inc. The certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the surviving corporation became the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Company, and the directors and officers in office of the surviving corporation became the directors and officers of the Company.

On July 10, 2007, the majority stockholders of the Company authorized a 1-for-15 reverse stock split pursuant to which, on August 1, 2007, the shares of common stock of the Company that were outstanding at July 31, 2007 (the “Old Shares”) automatically converted into new shares of common stock (the "New Shares"). All common share and per share amounts in these financial statements have been retroactively restated to reflect this reverse stock split. The New Shares issued pursuant to the reverse stock split are fully paid and non-assessable. All New Shares have the same par value, voting rights and other rights as the Old Shares. Stockholders of the Company do not have preemptive rights to acquire additional shares of common stock which may be issued. Also on August 1, 2007, the Company changed its name from Tech Laboratories, Inc. to Renewal Fuels, Inc. and the Company’s quotation symbol on the OTC Bulletin Board was changed from TLBT to RNWF.

Renewal Biodiesel, Inc. (formerly Renewal Fuels, Inc.)(“Renewal Biodiesel”) acquired all tangible and intangible assets of the FuelMeister Business of Biodiesel Solutions, Inc. (“BSI”), a Nevada corporation, effective March 30, 2007. As a result, Renewal Biodiesel is engaged in the business of designing, developing, manufacturing and marketing personal biodiesel processing equipment and accessories to convert used and fresh vegetable oil into clean-burning biodiesel. Renewal Biodiesel’s products allow customers to make biodiesel fuel, which is capable of powering all diesel fuel engines, for a current cost of approximately 70 cents per gallon. Renewal Biodiesel has a network of dealers in the United States for sale and distribution of its products. Renewal Biodiesel’s manufacturing facilities are currently located in Sparks, Nevada.

On July 2, 2007, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary BSI Acquisitions, Inc. (“BSI Acquisitions”) entered into a merger agreement (the “BSI Merger Agreement”) with BSI (from whom Renewal Biodiesel had acquired the FuelMeister Business). Pursuant to the BSI Merger Agreement, BSI Acquisitions was merged with and into BSI and the Company thus acquired all of the remaining business of BSI, other than the FuelMeister Business which was previously acquired as a result of the reverse merger with Renewal Biodiesel. The former shareholders of BSI were issued an aggregate of 3,333,333 shares of common stock of the Company, 1,333,333 shares of a new BSI convertible preferred stock (the “BSI Preferred Stock”), options to purchase 94,600 shares of the Company’s common stock and $500,000 in cash. The BSI Preferred Stock is immediately convertible at the option of the holders into common stock of the Company at a conversion price equal to the greater of (i) $0.75 or (ii) the average closing price of the common stock during the ten trading days immediately preceding the conversion date. Prior to the acquisition of BSI, the Company had loaned $200,000 to BSI under an 8% 180 day secured promissory note, due November 24, 2007. Upon the acquisition of BSI, the note receivable was reclassified as a capital contribution to BSI.

BSI will manufacture the BiodieselMaster®, a factory-built biodiesel processing plant that is designed to produce 350,000 gallons of biodiesel per year and is designed to be appropriately scaled for a variety of customers, including small communities, farms, farm co-ops and trucking fleets. The design will provide a biodiesel production system that is continuous, flexible, efficient, affordable, and fully-automated. The automated control system will minimize labor costs and facilitates remote diagnostics.

In September 2007, the Company purchased two greenhouses which were later transferred to our Renewal Plantations, Inc subsidiary (“RPI”), which was formed as a wholly owned subsidiary on February 11, 2008.  RPI is engaged in the growth of cellulosic feedstock for the biofuels industry.  Through a service agreement with another party, we are establishing nurseries for the growth of unique high density, short-rotation trees, which are designed to provide a very high concentration of biomass per acre.  We are currently completing installation of the nurseries and establishing customers for the products to be produced by RPI.  A Management Service Agreement between RPI and Emerald Energy, LLC was consummated on February 11, 2008, providing for the completion of the greenhouse installation and operation of the facility.  On April 4, 2008, one of the greenhouses was placed into service and is currently growing roots.

Predecessor Business

As described above, under the terms of the Renewal Merger Agreement, we acquired 100% of the common stock of Renewal Biodiesel in exchange for the issuance by us of 22,907,323 common shares. Although we were the legal acquirer, Renewal Biodiesel was considered to be the accounting acquirer and, as such, the acquisition was accounted for as a reverse merger and recapitalization. As a result, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements represent the results of operations and cash flows of the accounting acquirer and Successor (Renewal Biodiesel) from the date of its inception on March 9, 2007 through March 31, 2007. The FuelMeister Business acquired by Renewal Biodiesel constitutes our Predecessor business. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, as of March 31, 2008 and for the period March 9, 2007 (date of inception) through March 31, 2007, are those of the Successor. The statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and the statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2007 are those of our Predecessor, the FuelMeister Business.

Going Concern

Our financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplate the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. Since inception, we have incurred losses from operations. Furthermore, we will require a significant amount of capital to proceed with our business plan. As such, our ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon us being able to secure an adequate amount of debt or equity capital to enable us to meet our operating cash requirements and successfully implement our business plan. In addition, our ability to continue as a going concern must be considered in light of the challenges, expenses and complications frequently encountered by entrance into new markets and the competitive environment in which we operate.

Our Predecessor historically funded its cash requirements through operations and contributions from the former owner. In connection with the acquisition of the FuelMeister Business and BSI, we obtained debt financing. We expect we will need to obtain additional funding through private or public equity and/or debt financing to pay for the infrastructure needed to support our planned growth but, as a public company, we believe we will have better access to additional debt or equity capital.

There can be no assurance that our plans will materialize and/or that we will be successful in raising required capital to grow our business and/or that any such capital will be available on terms acceptable to us. These factors, among others, indicate that we may be unable to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 2   ACQUISITIONS

Reverse Merger and Recapitalization

On April 20, 2007, we entered into a Merger Agreement with Renewal Biodiesel, a Delaware corporation formed in 2007 for the purposes of the asset acquisition of the FuelMeister Business described below. Under the terms of the agreement, we acquired 100% of the common stock of Renewal Biodiesel in exchange for the issuance by us of 343,610 shares of our series A convertible preferred stock, which was subsequently converted into 22,907,323 common shares. The officers and directors of Renewal Biodiesel assumed similar positions with us. Although we were the legal acquirer, Renewal Biodiesel was considered the accounting acquirer and as such the acquisition was accounted for as a reverse merger and recapitalization. As a result, the accompanying consolidated financial statements represent the results of operations and cash flows of the accounting acquirer (Renewal Biodiesel) from the date of its inception on March 9, 2007. Immediately prior to the reorganization, we had 673,356 shares of common stock outstanding and net liabilities of $1,677,020, consisting of the following, at fair value:

Net liabilities assumed:
     
Accounts payable
 
$
203,992
 
Long term debt, including accrued interest
   
1,473,028
 
Net liabilities assumed
 
$
1,677,020
 
 
8


The net liabilities assumed primarily represent debt obligations to YA Global Investments, L.P. (f/k/a Cornell Capital Partners L.P) (herein “YA Global”) and were assumed in connection with the provision of additional long-term debt financing provided by YA Global (see Note 7), which additional funding was provided simultaneously with the reverse merger and recapitalization. Accordingly, the net liabilities assumed have been recorded as deferred financing costs incurred in connection with the additional debt funding provided by YA Global and will be amortized by periodic charges to income on a straight-line basis over the life of that debt funding. In addition, the Company paid $180,000 in fees in connection with the additional debt funding provided by YA Global.

Acquisition of Assets of FuelMeister Business and BSI

On March 9, 2007, Crivello Group, LLC (“Crivello”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Renewal Biodiesel, entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Biodiesel Solutions, Inc. (“BSI”), which was effective March 30, 2007. Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, BSI sold substantially all of the assets and property of its FuelMeister operations (the “FuelMeister Business”, the “Predecessor” or the “Predecessor Business”, an unrelated Company) to Renewal Biodiesel, in exchange for an aggregate purchase price of $500,000, subject to adjustment. Under the terms of the Agreement, the purchase price was subsequently adjusted to $494,426 to reflect the inventory on hand at closing. Of the adjusted purchase price, $100,000 was paid on execution of the Agreement as a down payment, $100,000 was paid at closing, $50,000 was paid on April 11, 2007, and the balance of the purchase price was paid by delivery of a promissory note, as amended, in the amount of $244,426. The promissory note was subsequently paid on April 20, 2007. The $250,000 cash portion of the $494,426 purchase price of the assets was funded by loans received from Crivello of $200,000 and cash of $57,279 received by Renewal Biodiesel from our founders for common stock. The loans from Crivello, together with the promissory note for $244,426, were repaid from the proceeds of loans from YA Global (see Note 7). The difference of $5,131,231 between the fair value of the 22,907,323 common shares issued to our founders as a result of the reverse merger described above, determined based on the trading price of $0.2265 per share immediately prior to the reorganization and reverse merger, and the amount they paid for their shares of Renewal Biodiesel of $57,279 has been recorded as stock-based transaction expense.

Renewal Biodiesel also entered into a management services agreement with BSI, pursuant to which BSI agreed to provide general management and administrative services to Renewal Biodiesel, as well as the use of its facilities. Renewal Biodiesel reimbursed BSI for the direct cost of services and facilities, as provided. The agreement terminated 90 days after the FuelMeister acquisition or upon ten days notice by Renewal Biodiesel. As discussed in Note 1, we acquired BSI on July 2, 2007, which effectively resulted in termination of the agreement.
 
The acquisition of the FuelMeister Business was accounted for by the purchase method in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 141 ("FAS 141") and the results of its operations are included in these consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. The aggregate purchase price determined in accordance with FAS 141 was $494,426.
 
On July 2, 2007, we entered into a merger agreement with BSI, as a result of which we acquired the remainder of BSI's business (i.e., other than the FuelMeister Business acquired previously). BSI is engaged in the business of designing, manufacturing and marketing processing equipment and accessories, including personal biodiesel processors and “community scale” biodiesel processor systems, which convert fresh and used vegetable oils into clean burning biodiesel fuel. It complements and optimizes Renewal’s ability to design, develop, manufacture and market both personal and community scale biodiesel processing equipment and accessories.
 
As consideration for the acquisition of BSI, we issued an aggregate of 3,333,333 shares of common stock, 1,000,000 new preferred shares of BSI convertible into 1,333,333 shares of our common stock, options to purchase 94,600 shares of our common stock and $500,000 in cash. The BSI Preferred Stock is immediately convertible at the option of the holders into common stock of the Company at a conversion price equal to the greater of (i) $0.75, or (ii) the average closing price of the common stock during the ten trading days immediately preceding the conversion date. Prior to the acquisition of BSI, the Company loaned $200,000 to BSI under an 8% 180 day secured promissory note, due November 24, 2007. Upon the acquisition of BSI, the note receivable was reclassified as a capital contribution to BSI.
 
Also on July 2, 2007, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with YA Global providing for the sale to YA Global of secured convertible debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $2,700,000, of which $2,000,000 was advanced immediately. The second installment of $700,000 will be funded within two business days after the Company has unconditionally booked and received at least a 50% deposit for the sale of at least one BiodieselMaster® unit. We also issued to YA Global five-year warrants to purchase 2,250,000 shares of our common stock at $0.90 per share. The Debentures bear interest at the prime rate plus 2.75% (but not less than 10%) and mature two years from the date of issuance (the "Maturity Date"). The Company is not required to make any payments until the Maturity Date. The holder of the Debentures may convert at any time amounts outstanding into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price per share equal to the lesser of (i) $0.05, or (ii) 80% of the lowest closing bid price of the Common Stock during the ten trading days immediately preceding the conversion date.
 
The aggregate purchase price for the BSI Acquisition was determined based on the fair value of the consideration issued, which consisted of common stock, preferred shares of BSI convertible into our common stock, options to purchase our common stock and cash.
 
9

 
The purchase price was allocated to BSI’s net tangible and intangible assets based on their estimated fair values as of the date of the completion of the acquisition and based on a report by an independent, reputable appraiser in accordance with the professional standards of the American Society of Appraisers and the Institute of Business Appraisers. The amount allocated to purchased “in process research and development costs” was valued at fair value using a debt free cash flow method. 

NOTE 3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Accounting Policies

We have generally adopted the accounting policies of the Predecessor. Unless specifically stated, the accounting policies described below are the accounting policies of both the Successor and the Predecessor, which do not differ during all periods presented.

Principles of Consolidation

Successor

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Renewal Fuels, Inc. (“Renewal”), the accounts of Renewal Biodiesel, the accounts of Biodiesel Solutions, Inc. (“BSI”), and the accounts of Renewal Plantations, Inc (“RPI”). All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Predecessor

The accompanying financial statements of the FuelMeister business (the “FuelMeister Business” or the “Predecessor”, a carve-out business of Biodiesel Solutions, Inc. and a predecessor business of Renewal Biodiesel, which carve-out business was acquired by Renewal Biodiesel on March 30, 2007), are presented on a carved-out basis as if it had been an independent reporting entity for the periods presented. Certain revenue and expenses of Biodiesel have been allocated by management between the FuelMeister Business and the operations retained by Biodiesel, based either on specific attribution of those revenues and expenses or, where necessary and appropriate, based on management’s best estimate of an appropriate allocation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods presented. Estimates that are critical to the accompanying financial statements arise from our belief that we will secure an adequate amount of cash to continue as a going concern, and that all long-lived assets and inventories are recoverable. The markets for our products are characterized by intense competition, rapid technological development, evolving standards and short product life cycles, all of which could impact the future realization of our assets. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects of revisions are reflected in the period that they are determined to be necessary. It is at least reasonably possible that our estimates could change in the near term with respect to these matters

Inventory

Inventories consisted of the following at March 31, 2008:

Raw materials
  $ 169,830  
Work-in-process
    5,059  
    $ 174,889  

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets, consisting primarily of customer lists, engineering drawings and other intangibles acquired as part of the acquisition of the FuelMeister Business and of BSI, are amortized over their estimated useful lives, which range from 1 to 15 years.

Derivative Instruments and Beneficial Conversion Features

We do not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks.

We review the terms of convertible debt and equity instruments we issue to determine whether there are embedded derivative instruments, including the embedded conversion option, that are required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately as a derivative financial instrument. When the ability to physical or net-share settle the conversion option is deemed to be not within the control of the company, the embedded conversion option may be required to be accounted for as a derivative financial instrument liability. In circumstances
 
10

 
where the convertible instrument contains more than one embedded derivative instrument, including the conversion option, that is required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments are accounted for as a single, compound derivative instrument. In connection with the sale of convertible debt and equity instruments, we may also issue freestanding options or warrants. We may also issue options or warrants to non-employees in connection with consulting or other services they provide. Depending on their terms, these options and warrants may be accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities, rather than as equity.

Certain instruments, including convertible debt and equity instruments and the freestanding options and warrants issued in connection with those convertible instruments, may be subject to registration rights agreements, which impose penalties for failure to register the underlying common stock by a defined date. These potential cash penalties are accounted for in accordance with FAS No. 5,   Accounting for Contingencies.
 
When the embedded conversion option in a convertible debt instrument is not required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately as a derivative instrument, we review the terms of the instrument to determine whether it is necessary to record a beneficial conversion feature, in accordance with EITF Issues 98-05 and 00-27. When the effective conversion rate of the instrument at the time it is issued is less than the fair value of the common stock into which it is convertible, we recognize a beneficial conversion feature, which is credited to equity and reduces the initial carrying value of the instrument.
 
When convertible debt is initially recorded at less than its face value as a result of allocating some or all of the proceeds received to derivative instrument liabilities, to a beneficial conversion feature or to other instruments, the discount from the face amount, together with the stated interest on the convertible debt, is amortized over the life of the instrument through periodic charges to income, using the effective interest method.

Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2008 and for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and for the period March 9, 2007 (date of inception) through March 31, 2007 are unaudited.   In the opinion of management, such condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for the fair representation of the consolidated financial position and the consolidated results of operations.   The consolidated results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.  The interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year end December 31, 2007 appearing in Form 10KSB filed on April 15, 2008.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Management believes that no new pronouncements will have a material affect on the financials.
 
NOTE 4 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

We believe the book value of our cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates their fair values due to their short-term nature. 

We sell products to value added distributors and other customers and generally require payment in advance or at the time of sale. Periodically, we extend credit based on an evaluation of the customer's financial condition, generally without requiring collateral. Our terms for our accounts receivable are generally net 30 days. As such, exposure to losses on receivables is principally dependent on each customer's financial condition.  We monitor our exposure to credit losses and maintain allowances for any anticipated losses.  At March 31, 2008, we had accounts receivable of $15,129. Our ability to collect receivables arising in the future may be affected by economic fluctuations. 

We maintain all of our cash in deposit accounts with one financial institution, which deposit accounts at times may exceed federally insured limits.  We have not experienced any losses in such accounts. 

NOTE 5 PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Obligations

On December 31, 2007, the Company entered into an Amendment Agreement (the "Amendment Agreement") with YA Global, amending the Additional Purchase Agreement of July 2, 2007, to provide for the sale by the Company to YA Global of its secured convertible debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $300,000 (the "Second Additional Debentures").   As part of the Amendment Agreement, the Company agreed that it would comply with the requirement to have unconditionally booked and received at least a 50% deposit for the sale of at least one BiodieselMaster® unit no later than January 31, 2008.  The Company also agreed to have signed a definitive joint venture with Eco Plantations no later than January 31, 2008.  The Company has not complied with these undertakings and, accordingly, all its obligations to YA Global are in default.   Concurrently with the additional funding from YA Global, certain stockholders and management of the Company loaned $150,000 to the Company (see Note 8) and the Company covenanted to YA Global that, as long as the debentures issued by the Company to YA Global are outstanding, that these loans would not be repaid without the express written consent of YA Global.

 As part of the Amendment Agreement, the Company also agreed to reduce the exercise price of the 1,200,000 warrants issued to YA Global on April 20, 2007 from $0.15 per share to $0.001 per share and to reduce the exercise price of 1,200,000 of the 2,250,000 warrants issued to YA Global on July 2, 2007 from $0.90 per share to $0.001 per share.  The cost of these reductions in the exercise price was estimated at $78,337, based on the value of the warrants immediately before and after the change in the exercise prices,  using the Cox-Ross-Rubenstein binomial model, based on the market price of $0.23, estimated volatility of 123%, a risk free rate of 3.45% and the remaining life of the warrants.  On March 27, 2008, YA Global completed a cashless exercise of the 1,200,000 warrants originally issued on April 20,2007 and were   issued 1,186,813 shares of common stock.

The interest rate, repayment terms, conversion rights, conversion price, anti-dilution provisions, redemption provisions, events of default and registration requirements of the second Additional Debentures are identical to those of the New Debentures described above, except that the fixed element of the conversion price is $0.05, not $0.60.
 
All of the above obligations to YA Global, together with prior obligations to YA Global described below, are secured by a security interest in our assets and the assets of our subsidiaries, including their intellectual property.  In addition, we pledged the shares of Renewal Biodiesel and BSI to YA Global as additional security for the obligations to YA Global. 
 
(a) $1,400,000 Convertible Debentures
 
On April 20, 2007, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with YA Global Investments, L.P. (“YA Global”) providing for the sale to YA Global of our secured convertible debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $1,400,000 (the "New Debentures") of which $1,000,000 was advanced immediately. The second installment of $400,000 was funded on May 31, 2007, following clearance by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) of an information statement disclosing shareholder approval of the issuance of the Preferred Stock to the former shareholders of Renewal Biodiesel.
 
The New Debentures bear interest at the prime rate plus 2.75% (but not less than 10%) and mature on April 20, 2009 and May 31, 2009 (the "Maturity Dates"). We are not required to make any payments until the Maturity Dates. The holder of the New Debentures (the "Holder") may convert at any time principal amounts outstanding under the New Debentures into shares of our common stock at a conversion price per share equal to the lower of (a) $0.60 or (b) 80% of the lowest closing bid price of the common stock during the ten
 
13

 
trading days immediately preceding the conversion date. We have the right to redeem a portion or all amounts outstanding under the New Debentures prior to the Maturity Dates at a 15% redemption premium provided that (i) the closing bid price of the common stock is less than the fixed conversion price of the New Debentures; (ii) the underlying shares are subject to an effective registration statement; and (iii) no event of default has occurred and is continuing. The New Debentures contain standard anti-dilution adjustments for stock splits and similar events. In the event that we sell or otherwise issue common stock at a price below the current conversion price, the fixed conversion price will be reduced to such lower price. If an Event of Default occurs, as defined in the New Debentures, the holder may demand immediate repayment of all amounts due under the New Debentures. In addition to non-payment of principal or interest when due, defaults under other obligations and bankruptcy or similar events, the Events of Default include a Change in our Control, the our failure to file, achieve or maintain effectiveness of the required registration statement (see below) if registration has been demanded by the Holder of the New Debentures, and the failure to maintain the listing of our common stock on a recognized exchange.

Under the Purchase Agreement, we also issued to YA Global five-year warrants to purchase 1,200,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.15 per share. The warrants were valued at $238,932 using the Cox-Ross-Rubenstein binomial model, based on the market price at the time they were issued of $0.2265, estimated volatility of 123%, a risk free rate of 4.75% and the five year life of the warrants.
 
In connection with the Purchase Agreement, we also entered into a registration rights agreement with YA Global (the "Registration Rights Agreement") providing for the filing of a registration statement (the "Registration Statement") with the SEC registering the common stock issuable upon conversion of the New Debentures and exercise of the warrants. Upon written demand from the Holder, we are obligated to file a Registration Statement within 45 days of such demand and to use its best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective no later than 150 days following receipt of such demand. We are also required to ensure that the Registration Statement remains in effect until all of the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the New Debentures and exercise of the warrants have been sold or may be sold without volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144(k) promulgated by the SEC. In the event of a default of its obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, including its agreement with respect to the filing and effectiveness dates for the Registration Statement, we are required to pay to YA Global, as liquidated damages, for each thirty day period that the Registration Statement has not been filed or declared effective, as the case may be, a cash amount equal to 2% of the face amount of the Debentures, not to exceed 24%. As of April 14, 2008, no demand for registration has been received by us.  The Debenture is currently in default.
 
$2,700,000 Convertible Note Financing
 
On July 2, 2007, we entered into an additional Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Additional Purchase Agreement") with YA Global providing for the sale to YA Global of our secured convertible debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $2,700,000 (the "Additional Debentures") of which $2,000,000 was advanced immediately. The second installment of $700,000 was to be funded within two business days after we have unconditionally booked and received at least a 50% deposit for the sale of at least one BiodieselMaster® unit.
 
The interest rate, repayment terms, conversion rights, conversion price, anti-dilution provisions, redemption provisions, events of default and registration requirements of the Additional Debentures are identical to those of the New Debentures described above, except that the fixed element of the conversion price is $0.75, not $0.60.
 
Under the Additional Purchase Agreement, we also issued to YA Global five-year warrants to purchase 2,250,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.90 per share. The warrants were valued at $1,104,405 using the Cox-Ross-Rubenstein binomial model, based on the market price at the time they were issued of $0.60, estimated volatility of 123%, a risk free rate of 4.90% and the five year life of the warrants.  The Additional Debentures are in default.

(b) Prior obligations assumed in reverse merger

  On April 20, 2007, as part of the net liabilities assumed on the reverse merger, we assumed certain existing obligations to YA Global and other entities. These obligations included two existing 15% convertible debenture obligations dated December 27, 2005 due to Montgomery Equity Partners, Ltd, an affiliate of YA Global (the “Old Debentures”), in the face amounts of $537,220 and $300,000, together with accrued interest at April 20, 2007 of $105,310 and $58,808, respectively. The Old Debentures were due on December 27, 2006. In connection with one of these Old Debentures, we previously issued warrants to purchase 6,667 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.015 per share. As amended on May 31, 2007, the Old Debentures are convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion price per share equal to the lesser of (a) $0.60 or (b) 80% of the lowest closing bid price of the common stock during the ten trading days immediately preceding the conversion date. On January 24, 2008 converted a $72,500 of the Old Debentures into 755,208 shares of common stock.

14

 
 In connection with these Old Debentures, we are obligated to file a Registration Statement with the SEC, registering the shares issuable on conversion of the Old Debentures and the Old Warrants. We have not filed the required registration statement (which was required to be filed by March 27, 2006 and effective by May 26, 2006). Under the terms of the Old Debentures, we are required to pay to YA Global, as liquidated damages, for each thirty day period that the Registration Statement has not been filed or declared effective, as the case may be, a cash amount equal to 2% of the face amount of the Old Debentures. We have received a letter dated November 14, 2007 from YA Global waiving, as of that date, all rights to collect any and all liquidated damages arising from any default under any of the convertible debenture agreements. Because any common shares obtained by YA Global on conversion of the Old Debentures may now be freely sold by them under Rule 144(k), without volume restrictions and without registration, we do not believe we will be subject to any penalties after November 14, 2007 for not filing the required registration statement.

We also assumed the remaining portions of a convertible promissory note that was originally issued in 2000. A portion of the note is held by YA Global and a portion is held by entities associated with LH Financial. The notes are convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion price per share equal to 85% of the average of the five lowest closing bid prices of the common stock during the 22 trading days immediately preceding the conversion date. In 2007, YA Global converted their entire principal amount of $168,000 plus all accrued interest thereon of $61,000 into 574,807 common shares .

Default

The prior obligations assumed in the reverse merger are past due and are therefore in default.  As noted above, as part of the December 31, 2007 Amendment Agreement, the Company agreed that it would comply with the requirement to have unconditionally booked and received at least a 50% deposit for the sale of at least one BiodieselMaster® unit no later than January 31, 2008.  The Company also agreed to have signed a definitive joint venture with Eco Plantations no later than January 31, 2008.  The Company has not complied with these undertakings and, accordingly, all its obligations to YA Global are in default.  As a result, all of the Company’s convertible debt obligations are in default, permitting the holders to demand immediate payment, and have therefore been classified as current at March 31, 2008.

See, Note 11 “Subsequent Events - Forbearance Agreement”.

Derivative Instrument Liabilities and Beneficial Conversion Feature:

 In accounting for the Convertible Debentures and the associated Warrants, we have considered the requirements of EITF Issue 00-19, "Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed To, and Potentially Settled In, a Company's Own Common Stock". Because the number of shares that may be required to be issued on conversion of the Convertible Debentures is dependent on the price of our common stock, the number of shares ultimately required is indeterminate. However, full conversion of the outstanding Convertible Debentures and exercise of outstanding Warrants, together with currently outstanding common stock and all other currently existing requirements to issue common stock, require us to have approximately 64 million common shares authorized. We are authorized to issue 3 billion common shares. As a result, management believes it will have sufficient authorized shares available to physically settle all contracts that currently require delivery of common shares. Furthermore, our management, together with investors associated with management, control a majority of our outstanding common shares. Accordingly, our management believes it is in a position to secure shareholder approval of an increase in the authorized number of shares, should such an increase be required in the future. As a result of management’s conclusion that it will have sufficient authorized shares available to settle all outstanding contracts requiring delivery of common shares, the conversion option embedded in the Convertible Debentures has not been bifurcated and the Warrants issued in connection with the Convertible Debentures have been accounted for as equity instruments.
 
We have also reviewed the terms of the Convertible Debentures to determine whether there are embedded derivative instruments, other than the conversion option, that may be required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately as derivative instrument liabilities. Certain events of default associated with the Convertible Debentures, including failure to effect or maintain registration when required, the failure to maintain the listing of our common stock on a recognized exchange and similar events, have risks and rewards that are not clearly and closely associated with the risks and rewards of the debt instruments in which they are embedded. However, events of default serve only to permit the holder to demand repayment and do not require us to pay any premium on default. Accordingly, these embedded derivative instruments are considered to have minimal, if any, value.
 
15

 
 If the conversion option embedded in the Convertible Debentures has not been bifurcated, then if the effective conversion price for a Convertible Debenture is less than the market value of the underlying shares at the time the debenture is issued (usually as a result of the allocation of part of the proceeds received to common stock warrants or other instruments), we recognize a beneficial conversion feature inaccordance with EITF Issues 98-05 and 00-27. The value of the beneficial conversion feature, which is credited to additional paid-in capital, reduces the initial carrying amount of the debenture. The discount from the face amount of the Convertible Debentures represented by the value initially assigned to any associated Warrants and to any beneficial conversion feature is amortized over the period to the due date of each Convertible Debenture, using the effective interest method.  Because those debentures are past due, the discount from the face amount of the debentures was immediately expensed and is included in interest expense for the period.

For warrants and option-based derivative instruments, we estimate fair value using the Cox-Ross-Rubinstein binomial valuation model, based on the market price of the common stock on the valuation date, an expected dividend yield of 0%, a risk-free interest rate based on constant maturity rates published by the U.S. Federal Reserve applicable to the remaining term of the instruments (which rates ranged from 3.45% to 4.90%), and an expected life equal to the remaining term of the instruments. Because of the limited historical trading period of our common stock, the expected volatility of our common stock over the remaining life of the conversion options and Warrants was estimated at 123%, based on a review of the volatility of entities considered by management as most comparable to our business.

NOTE 9    STOCK OPTION PLANS

On July 10, 2007, the majority stockholders approved the 2007 Stock Incentive Stock Plan (the "2007 Incentive Plan") and authorized 1,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance of stock awards and stock options there under. As of March 31, 2008, no stock awards or stock options have been issued under the 2007 Incentive Plan.

Under the 2007 Incentive Plan, options may be granted which are intended to qualify as Incentive Stock Options ("ISOs") under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code") or which are not ("Non-ISOs") intended to qualify as Incentive Stock Options there under. The primary purpose of the 2007 Incentive Plan is to attract and retain the best available personnel for the Company by granting stock awards and stock options in order to promote the success of the Company's business and to facilitate the ownership of the Company's stock by employees. The 2007 Incentive Plan will be administered by the Company's Board of Directors, as the Board of Directors may be composed from time to time.

Under the 2007 Incentive Plan, stock awards and options may be granted to key employees, officers, directors or consultants of the Company. The purchase price of the common shares subject to each ISO shall not be less than the fair market value (as set forth in the 2007 Incentive Plan), or in the case of the grant of an ISO to a Principal Stockholder, not less that 110% of fair market value of such common shares at the time such Option is granted. The purchase price of the common shares subject to each Non-ISO shall be determined at the time such Option is granted, but in no case less than 85% of the fair market value of such common shares at the time such Option is granted.

OVERVIEW

As of the end of the quarter, March 31, 2008, Renewal Fuels, Inc. (“Renewal”) had three wholly-owned subsidiaries - Renewal Biodiesel, Inc. (“Renewal Biodiesel”), Biodiesel Solutions, Inc. (“BSI”), and Renewal Plantations, Inc (“RPI”).
 
Renewal Biodiesel was incorporated in the state of Delaware on March 9, 2007 and acquired the business, fixed assets and inventory of the FuelMeister business of BSI, effective March 30, 2007. Renewal Biodiesel is engaged in the business of designing, developing, manufacturing and marketing personal biodiesel processing equipment and accessories to convert used and fresh vegetable oil into clean-burning biodiesel. Renewal Biodiesel’s products allow customers to make biodiesel fuel, which is capable of powering all diesel fuel engines, for a current cost of approximately 70 cents per gallon. Renewal Biodiesel has developed a network of dealers in the United States for sale and distribution of its products. Renewal Biodiesel’s manufacturing facilities are currently located in Sparks, Nevada.
 
BSI is developing and will manufacture a factory-built biodiesel processing plant that is designed to produce 350,000 gallons of biodiesel per year, appropriately scaled for a variety of customers, including small communities, farms, farm co-ops and trucking fleets. The design will provide a biodiesel production system that is continuous, flexible, efficient, affordable, and fully-automated. The automated control system will minimize labor costs and facilitates remote diagnostics. BSI’s manufacturing facilities are currently located in Sparks, Nevada, adjacent to the manufacturing facilities for Renewal Biodiesel.

RPI is engaged in the growth of cellulosic feedstock for the biofuels industry.  Through a service agreement with another party, we are establishing nurseries for the growth of unique high density, short-rotation trees, which are designed to provide a very high concentration of biomass per acre.  We are currently completing installation of the nurseries and establishing customers for the products to be produced by RPI.

HISTORY

Reorganization of Tech Laboratories, Inc. and Reverse Merger with Renewal Biodiesel, Inc.

On April 20, 2007, Tech Laboratories, Inc. entered into a Merger Agreement with Renewal Biodiesel, a Delaware corporation formed in 2007 for the purposes of the asset acquisition of the FuelMeister Business described below. Under the terms of the agreement, we acquired 100% of the common stock of Renewal Biodiesel in exchange for the issuance by us of 343,610 shares of our series A convertible preferred stock, which was subsequently converted into 22,907,323 common shares. The officers and directors of Renewal Biodiesel assumed similar positions with us. Although we were the legal acquirer, Renewal Biodiesel was considered the accounting acquirer and as such the acquisition was accounted for as a reverse merger and recapitalization. As a result, the accompanying consolidated financial statements represent the results of operations and cash flows of the accounting acquirer (Renewal Biodiesel) from the date of its inception on March 9, 2007. Immediately prior to the reorganization, we had 673,356 shares of common stock outstanding and net liabilities of $1,677,020, consisting of the following, at fair value:

Net liabilities assumed:
     
Accounts payable
 
$
203,992
 
Long term debt, including accrued interest
   
1,473,028
 
Net liabilities assumed
 
$
1,677,020
 

The net liabilities assumed primarily represent debt obligations to YA Global Investments, L.P. (“YA Global”) and were assumed in connection with the provision of additional long-term debt financing provided by YA Global (see Note 7 in our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in this Report), which additional funding was provided simultaneously with the reverse merger and recapitalization. Accordingly, the net liabilities assumed were recorded as deferred financing costs incurred in connection with the additional debt funding provided by YA Global and are being amortized by periodic charges to income on a straight-line basis over the life of that debt funding. In addition, the Company paid $180,000 in fees in connection with the additional debt funding provided by YA Global.

Tech Laboratories had no active business operations immediately prior to the merger. Mr. John King, former Chief Executive Officer and Mr. David Marks, Chairman were officers and directors and were minority shareholders of Renewal Biodiesel.
 
Immediately prior to the reorganization, Renewal Biodiesel issued an aggregate of 5,727,979 shares of its common stock to 23 accredited investors for an aggregate consideration of $57,279. Under the terms of the agreement, we acquired 100% of the 5,727,979 shares of common stock of Renewal Biodiesel in exchange for the issuance by us of 343,610 shares of series A preferred stock, which were subsequently converted into 23,907,323 common shares (approximately 97% of the outstanding common shares immediately after the reorganization). The average share price paid for the 5,727,979 shares of Renewal Biodiesel exchanged for our common shares was $0.01. Current officers, directors and principal stockholders of ours, who beneficially own in the aggregate approximately 80% of our outstanding common stock, owned the following aggregate shares of common stock of Renewal Biodiesel:

Of the shares attributed to Mr. Marks, 200,000 shares are registered in the name of the Irrevocable Children’s Trust of which Mr. Marks is a trustee and 200,000 are registered in the name of Phoenix Investors, LLC of which Mr. Marks is Managing Director.
 
Although we were the legal acquirer, Renewal Biodiesel was considered the accounting acquirer and as such the acquisition was accounted for as a reverse merger and recapitalization. The officers and directors of Renewal Biodiesel assumed similar positions with us. As a result, the accompanying consolidated financial statements represent the results of operations and cash flows of the accounting acquirer (Renewal Biodiesel) from the date of its inception on March 9, 2007.

The fair value of the common stock issued to the shareholders of Renewal Biodiesel was estimated to be $0.2265 per share, based on the trading price of our common stock immediately prior to the reorganization and reverse merger. The difference between the fair value of the shares issued and the amount paid by the shareholders of Renewal Biodiesel for their shares resulted in an immediate expense of $5,131,231.
 
On July 9, 2007, the Company, which was a New Jersey entity (“Tech Labs-NJ”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Tech Laboratories, Inc., a Delaware entity (“Tech Labs - DE”) under which Tech Labs - NJ and Tech Labs - DE were merged with and into the surviving corporation, Tech Labs - DE, whose name was subsequently changed on August 1, 2007 to Renewal Fuels, Inc. The certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the surviving corporation became the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Company, and the directors and officers in office of the surviving corporation became the directors and officers of the Company.
 
On July 10, 2007, the majority stockholders of the Company authorized a 1-for-15 reverse stock split which was effective on August 1, 2007. As a result, the shares of common stock of the Company (the "Old Shares") that were outstanding at July 31, 2007 automatically converted into 23,805,126 shares of common stock (the "New Shares"). All common share and per share amounts in our financial statements have been retroactively restated to reflect this reverse stock split. The New Shares issued pursuant to the reverse stock split are fully paid and non-assessable. All New Shares have the same par value, voting rights and other rights as the Old Shares. Stockholders of the Company do not have preemptive rights to acquire additional shares of common stock which may be issued. Also on August 1, 2007, the Company changed its name from Tech Laboratories, Inc. to Renewal Fuels, Inc. and the Company’s quotation symbol on the OTC Bulletin Board was changed from TLBT to RNWF.

Acquisition of Assets of FuelMeister Business and BSI

On March 9, 2007, Crivello Group, LLC (“Crivello”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Renewal Biodiesel, entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Biodiesel Solutions, Inc. (“BSI”), which was effective March 30, 2007. Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, BSI sold substantially all of the assets and property of its FuelMeister operations (the “FuelMeister Business” , the “Predecessor” or the “Predecessor Business”, an unrelated Company) to Renewal Biodiesel, in exchange for an aggregate purchase price of $500,000, subject to adjustment. Under the terms of the Agreement, the purchase price was subsequently adjusted to $494,426 to reflect the inventory on hand at closing. Of the adjusted purchase price, $100,000 was paid on execution of the Agreement as a down payment, $100,000 was paid at closing, $50,000 was paid on April 11, 2007, and the balance of the purchase price was paid by delivery of a promissory note, as amended, in the amount of $244,426. The promissory note was subsequently paid on April 20, 2007. The $250,000 cash portion of the $494,426 purchase price of the assets was funded by loans received from Crivello of $200,000 and cash of $57,279 received by Renewal Biodiesel from our founders for common stock. The loans from Crivello, together with the promissory note for $244,426, were repaid from the proceeds of loans from YA Global (see Note 7 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements). The difference of $5,131,231 between the fair value of the 22,907,323 common shares issued to our founders as a result of the reverse merger described above, determined based on the trading price of $0.2265 per share immediately prior to the reorganization and reverse merger, and the amount they paid for their shares of Renewal Biodiesel of $57,279 has been recorded as stock-based transaction expense.

Renewal Biodiesel also entered into a management services agreement with BSI, pursuant to which BSI agreed to provide general management and administrative services to Renewal Biodiesel, as well as the use of its facilities. Renewal Biodiesel reimbursed BSI for the direct cost of services and facilities, as provided. The agreement terminated 90 days after the FuelMeister acquisition or upon ten days notice by Renewal Biodiesel. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, we acquired BSI on July 2, 2007, which effectively resulted in termination of the agreement.

The acquisition of the FuelMeister Business was accounted for by the purchase method in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 141 ("FAS 141") and the results of its operations are included in these consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. The aggregate purchase price determined in accordance with FAS 141 was $494,426.

The following is a summary of the net assets acquired at the date of acquisition, at fair value:

On July 2, 2007, we entered into a merger agreement with BSI, as a result of which we acquired the remainder of BSI's business (i.e., other than the FuelMeister Business acquired previously). BSI is engaged in the business of designing, manufacturing and marketing processing equipment and accessories, including personal biodiesel processors and “community scale” biodiesel processor systems, which convert fresh and used vegetable oils into clean burning biodiesel fuel. It complements and optimizes Renewal’s ability to design, develop, manufacture and market both personal and community scale biodiesel processing equipment and accessories.

As consideration for the acquisition of BSI, we issued an aggregate of 3,333,333 shares of common stock, 1,000,000 new Series B preferred shares of BSI, initially convertible into 1,333,333 shares of our common stock, options to purchase 96,400 shares of our common stock and $500,000 in cash. The BSI Preferred Stock is immediately convertible at the option of the holders into common stock of the Company at a conversion price equal to the greater of (i) $0.75, or (ii) the average closing price of the common stock during the ten trading days immediately preceding the conversion date. Prior to the acquisition of BSI, the Company loaned $200,000 to BSI under an 8% 180 day secured promissory note, due November 24, 2007. Upon the acquisition of BSI, the note receivable was reclassified as an investment to BSI.

Also on July 2, 2007, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with YA Global providing for the sale to YA Global of secured convertible debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $2,700,000, of which $2,000,000 was advanced immediately. The second installment of $700,000 will be funded within two business days after the Company has unconditionally booked and received at least a 50% deposit for the sale of at least one BiodieselMaster® unit. We also issued to YA Global five-year warrants to purchase 2,250,000 shares of our common stock at $0.90 per share. The Debentures bear interest at the prime rate plus 2.75% (but not less than 10%) and mature two years from the date of issuance (the "Maturity Date"). The Company is not required to make any payments until the Maturity Date. The holder of the Debentures may convert at any time amounts outstanding into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price per share equal to the lesser of (i) $0.05, or (ii) 80% of the lowest closing bid price of the Common Stock during the ten trading days immediately preceding the conversion date.

The aggregate purchase price for the BSI acquisition was determined based on the fair value of the consideration issued, which consisted of common stock, preferred shares of BSI convertible into our common stock, options to purchase our common stock and cash, as follows:

3,333,333 shares of common stock
 
$
2,000,000

The purchase price was allocated to BSI’s net tangible and intangible assets based on their estimated fair values as of the date of the completion of the acquisition and based on a report by an independent, reputable appraiser in accordance with the professional standards of the American Society of Appraisers and the Institute of Business Appraisers. The amount allocated to purchased “in process research and development costs” was valued at fair value using a debt free cash flow method. As required by current accounting literature, these costs are immediately expensed in the current period’s income statement. The allocation of the total purchase price is summarized below:

Predecessor Business

As described above, under the terms of the Renewal Merger Agreement, we acquired 100% of the common stock of Renewal Biodiesel in exchange for the issuance by us of 22,907,323 common shares. Although we were the legal acquirer, Renewal Biodiesel was considered to be the accounting acquirer and, as such, the acquisition was accounted for as a reverse merger and recapitalization. As a result, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements represent the results of operations and cash flows of the accounting acquirer and Successor (Renewal Fuels) for the period ending March 31, 2008. The FuelMeister Business acquired by Renewal Fuels constitutes our Predecessor business. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, as of March 31, 2008 and for the period March 9, 2007 (date of inception) through March 31, 2007, are those of the Successor. The statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2007, and the statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2007 are those of our Predecessor, the FuelMeister Business.

BUSINESS STRATEGY, CORE PHILOSOPHIES, CURRENT OPERATIONS

Renewal Fuels is dedicated to technologies that enable the production of high quality fuels from a variety of non-food feedstock sources and waste streams. We believe that developed and emerging technologies to produce fuels from waste will provide an important alternative to feedstock sources which compete with uses for food.

Renewal Fuels’ business model includes strategic partnerships and acquisitions in the expanding biofuels industry. Increasing political and social responsiveness, combined with exciting developments in biofuel technology, has created an unprecedented environment for organic growth as well as growth through acquisitions. Our focused business model is designed to facilitate high profit margins and security of feedstock pricing.

The management of Renewal Fuels is establishing relationships with multiple biofuel entities with projects, products, and technologies at various stages of development, fitting the Company’s mission. The company is currently seeking additional technologies and businesses to add to its portfolio, which currently includes the businesses described below.

Renewal manufactures and markets the FuelMeister® line of personal biodiesel processors from its facility in Sparks, NV. The FuelMeister allows a user to make biodiesel from waste vegetable oil, for personal use. The FuelMeister line of biodiesel processors are produced from industrial-grade materials. In general, it takes approximately 1/2 hour hands-on time per batch of biodiesel fuel production. The products offered are not do-it-yourself kits, but complete systems with all key components needed to make biodiesel ‘at home’ with ease and confidence.

FuelMeister biodiesel processors are supplied with a user safety kit, oil titration and field test kit, high quality steel methanol pump, and easy prime oil draw tube. Quick disconnect fittings allow for future expansion and more convenient connection of tanks. If capacity needs change, additional modular tanks, lids, and accessories can be added to the FuelMeister II platform. A customer can start making biodiesel the same day the system arrives. All that is required is a barrel of used fryer oil (typically collected at no charge from local restaurants), lye (at a typical cost of 20¢/gallon of biodiesel), a barrel of racing methanol (at a typical cost of 50¢ /gallon of biodiesel), a barrel for the finished biodiesel, AC power, and a water hose. Renewal’s products are designed specifically to allow shipment by UPS in order to minimize customers’ freight expenses. This design was accomplished during an extensive upgrade to the product’s specifications in 2006. Any machines operating on diesel fuel, including cars, trucks, generators, tractors, furnaces, etc. may be powered with the biodiesel produced with the FuelMeister II biodiesel production system.

BSI, which was acquired on July 2, 2007, manufactures a complementary product to FuelMeister called BiodieselMaster®. This product is a factory-built biodiesel processing plant that is appropriately scaled for a variety of customers, including small communities, farms, farm co-ops and trucking fleets. The BiodieselMaster® is a community-scale biodiesel processing unit that is designed to produce 350,000 gallons of biodiesel per year. The design provides a biodiesel production system that is continuous, flexible, efficient, affordable, and fully-automated. The automated control system minimizes labor costs and facilitates remote diagnostics.
 
RPI is engaged in the growth of cellulosic feedstock for the biofuels industry.  Through a service agreement with another party, we are establishing nurseries for the growth of unique high density, short-rotation trees, which are designed to provide a very high concentration of biomass per acre.  We are currently completing installation of the nurseries and establishing customers for the products to be produced by RPI.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Although the revenue generating activities of the FuelMeister Business, the Predecessor business, remained significantly intact after the acquisition, there have been changes in our marketing strategy, administrative costs (including those expenses related to public equity market participation) and financing activities. As a result, we believe that the expenses of the Predecessor business are not representative of our current business, financial condition or results of operations. Accordingly, where practicable we have included various forward looking statements regarding the effects of our new operating structure.

The discussion that follows of Results of Operations is in the following sections:

Results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008( Uunaudited)(Successor);

·

23


Amortization of Intangible Assets

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash and Cash Flows From Operations:

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, we had a net loss of $848,197 which included non-cash items totaling $411,498, consisting primarily of depreciation, amortization of financing fees, convertible debt, and intangible assets. Our existence is dependent on management’s ability to develop profitable operations and successful integration of our acquired businesses.

Net cash used in investing activities was $884, which is the purchase of depreciable assets.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $39,541 which was provided by proceeds from note payables from stockholders.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We currently have no off balance sheet arrangements, other than the property leases described in the footnotes to the financial statements.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Going Concern

Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to obtain additional funds through debt and equity funding as well as increasing sales of biodiesel units. With these sales the Company anticipates that it will become less reliant on short-term financing.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Company has several customers that accounted for the total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2008.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes sales when earned.  At the time of the transaction, the Company assesses payment terms associated with the transaction and whether collectibility is reasonably assured.  If a significant portion of a fee is due after the normal payment terms, the Company accounts for the fee as not being fixed and determinable.  In these cases, the Company recognizes revenue as the fees become due.  Where the Company provides a sale at a specific point in time and there are no remaining obligations, the Company recognizes revenue upon completion of the sale.
