On March 18, 2020, the Company’s research and development plant in La Coste, Texas was destroyed by a fire. The Company believes that it was caused by a natural gas leak, but the fire was so extensive that the cause was undetermined. The majority of the damage was to their pilot production plant, which destroyed a large portion of the fixed assets of the Company. The property destroyed had a net book value of $1,909,495, which was written off and recognized as Loss due to fire during the year ended March 31, 2020. The Company filed a claim with their insurance company, and as of June 2, 2020, received all the proceeds, which totaled $917,210. The Company is currently purchasing replacement fixed assets and reconstructing their pilot production plant.
