MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Overview
Deep Green Waste & Recycling, Inc. (f/k/a Critic Clothing, Inc.) ("Deep Green", the "Company", "we", "us", or "our") is a publicly quoted company seeking to create value for its shareholders by seeking to acquire other operating entities for growth in return for shares of our common stock.
The Company was organized as a Nevada Corporation on August 24, 1995 under the name of Evader, Inc. On May 25, 2012, the Company filed its Foreign Profit Corporation Articles of Domestication to change the domicile of the Company from Nevada to Wyoming. On November 4, 2015, the Company filed an Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation to change the name of the Company to Critical Clothing, Inc. and on August 28, 2017 an Amendment was filed to change the Company name to Deep Green Waste & Recycling, Inc.
On August 24, 2017, the Company entered into an Agreement of Conveyance, Transfer and Assignment of Assets and Assumption of Obligations (the "Agreement") with St. James Capital Management, LLC. Under the terms of the Agreement, St. James Capital Management, LLC transferred and assigned all of the assets of the Company related to its extreme sports apparel design and manufacturing business in exchange for the assumption of certain liabilities and cancellation of 3,000,000 shares (as adjusted for the September 27, 2017 reverse stock split of 1 share for 1000 shares) of common stock of the Company.
On August 24, 2017, the Company acquired all the membership units of Deep Green Waste and Recycling, LLC ("DGWR LLC"), a Georgia limited liability company engaged in the waste recycling business since 2011, in exchange for 85,000,000 shares (as adjusted for the September 27, 2017 reverse stock split of 1 share for 1000 shares) of the Company's common stock. The transaction was accounted for as a "reverse merger" where DGWR LLC was considered the accounting acquiror and the Company was considered the accounting acquiree.
Effective October 1, 2017, Deep Green acquired Compaction and Recycling Equipment, Inc. (CARE), a Portland, Oregon based company that sells and services waste and recycling equipment. Deep Green purchased 100% of the common stock for $902,700. $586,890 was paid in cash at closing and a promissory note was executed in the amount of $315,810.
Effective October 1, 2017, Deep Green acquired Columbia Financial Services, Inc, (CFSI), a Portland, Oregon based company that finances the purchases of waste and recycling equipment. Deep Green purchased 100% of the common stock for $597,300. $418,110 was paid in cash at closing and a promissory note was executed in the amount of $179,190.
On August 7, 2018, the Company entered into an Agreement of Conveyance, Transfer and Assignment of Subsidiaries and Assumption of Obligations (the "Agreement") with Mirabile Corporate Holdings, Inc. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company transferred all capital stock of its two wholly owned subsidiaries, Compaction and Recycling Equipment, Inc. and Columbia Financial Services, Inc., to Mirabile Corporate Holdings, Inc. in exchange for the assumption and cancellation of certain liabilities. Deep Green's then Chief Executive Officer owned a 7.5% equity interest in Mirabile Corporate Holdings, Inc.
On August 7, 2018, the Company ceased its waste recycling business.
The Company re-launched its waste and recycling services operation and has begun to re-engage with customers, waste haulers and recycling centers, which are critical elements of its historically successful business model: designing and managing waste programs for commercial and institutional properties for cost savings, ease of operation, and minimal administrative stress for its clients.
Asset Purchase Agreement
On February 8, 2021, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary DG Research, Inc. (the "Buyer"), entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") with Amwaste, Inc. (the "Seller"). Under the terms of the Agreement, the Buyer agreed to purchase from the Seller certain assets (the "Assets") utilized in the Seller's waste management business located in Glynn County, Georgia. In consideration for the purchase of the Assets, the Buyer paid the seller $160,000 and issued the Seller 2,000,000 shares of the Company's restricted common stock. The Buyer remitted $50,000 at Closing and issued the Seller a Promissory Note (the "Note") in the amount of $110,000, which was paid April 9, 2021. The Note was secured by the Assets purchased through the Agreement. The transaction closed on February 11, 2021.
In order to further grow its business, the Company plans to:
● | expand its service offerings to provide additional sustainable waste management solutions that further minimize costs based on volume and content of waste streams, and methods of disposal, including landfills, transfer stations and recycling centers; | |
● | Acquire profitable waste and recycling services companies with similar or compatible and synergistic business models, that can help the Company achieve these objectives; | |
● | Offer innovative recycling services that significantly reduce the disposal of plastics, electronic wastes, food wastes, and hazardous wastes in the commercial property universe; | |
● | Establish partnerships with innovative universities, municipalities and companies; and | |
● | Attract investment funds who will actively work with the Company to achieve these goals and help the Company grow into a leading waste and recycling services supplier in North America. |
Some potential merger/acquisition candidates have been identified and discussions initiated. These candidates are within the Company's core business model, serving commercial properties, accretive to cash flow, and geographically favorable. While seeking to identify acquisition candidates, the Company seeks to identify target entities with a similar core business model or a model which naturally integrates with its own, and which are situated in opportunistic geographic locations.
We have unrestricted discretion in seeking and participating in a business opportunity, subject to the availability of such opportunities, economic conditions, and other factors.
The selection of a business opportunity in which to participate is complex and risky. Additionally, we have only limited resources and may find it difficult to locate good opportunities. There can be no assurance that we will be able to identify and acquire any business opportunity which will ultimately prove to be beneficial to us and our shareholders. We will select any potential business opportunity based on our management's best business judgment.
Our activities are subject to several significant risks, which arise primarily as a result of the fact that we have no specific business and may acquire or participate in a business opportunity based on the decision of management, which potentially could act without the consent, vote, or approval of our shareholders. The risks faced by us are further increased as a result of its lack of resources and our inability to provide a prospective business opportunity with significant capital.
Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates
Our management's discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements as well as the reported expenses during the reporting periods. The accounting estimates that require our most significant, difficult and subjective judgments have an impact on revenue recognition, the determination of share-based compensation and financial instruments. We evaluate our estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Revenues
For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we generated $244,925 and $342,325 revenue, respectively The $(97,400) year-over-year decrease is driven primarily by a decrease in asbestos within our Nashville operations.
Cost of Sales
Our cost of sales were lower at $55,390 versus $71,583 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. This reflects the drop in asbestos activity period over period.
Gross Profit
As a result of our softer asbestos market, our gross profit was $189,535 and $270,472 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Operating expenses
Our operating expenses of $414,729 are up $87K year-over-year as a result primarily of a favorable bad debt reserve adjustment ($52K) in 2024.
Operating Loss
Our operating income (loss) was ($255,194) and operating loss ($57,423) for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively
We anticipate that our cost of revenues will increase in 2025and for the foreseeable future as we continue to build out our remediation services and identify acquisition opportunities in the waste and recycling sector.
Other Income (Expense)
Other Income improved to $(2,663) for the three months ended March 31, 2025. This was largely driven by a non-cash derivative valuation adjustment of $133K. Other income was $(67,345) for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and included interest expense of $(34,944) and derivative liability gain of $7,464.
Net Income
The Company's loss was ($227,857) for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to a loss of ($10,680) for the same period in 2024.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At March 31, 2025, we had current assets of $2,048,684 and current liabilities of $4,860,322 resulting in negative working capital of $2,811,638, of which $2,912,133 was accounts payable and $131,356 was included in accrued interest. At March 31, 2025, we had total assets of $2,048,684 and total liabilities of $4,993,955 resulting in stockholders' deficit of $(3,310,730).
At December 31, 2024, we had current assets of $1,193,986 and current liabilities of $5,421,592 resulting in negative working capital of $4,227,606, of which $3,028,905 was accounts payable and $102,286 was included in deferred compensation. At December 31, 2024, we had total assets of $2,121,542 and total liabilities of $5,421,592 resulting in stockholders' deficit of $(3,300,050).
Accounts Payable

At December 31, 2024, the Company had accounts payable of $2,921,621 that consisted of $487,615 in default judgments due to prior vendors, $2,217,071 due to vendors for materials and services and $217,005 due for credit card obligations.

At March 31, 2025, the Company had outstanding secured notes and convertible notes payable of $737,878 and other debt of 469,062. Please see NOTE H - DEBT and NOTE I - SECURED NOTES AND CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE for further information.
At December 31, 2024, the Company had outstanding secured notes and convertible notes payable of $971,488 and other debt of $575,077. Please see NOTE H - DEBT and NOTE I- SECURED NOTES AND CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE for further information.
Cash on Hand
Our cash on hand as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $(8,710) and $318,441, respectively.
Satisfaction of Outstanding Liabilities
As of March 31, 2025, the Company has a liability of $487,615 as a result of three (3) default judgments. The Company intends to negotiate settlements and establish payment plans with each creditor that will satisfy these judgements. Nonetheless, some or all of the creditors may elect to bring further litigation to protect their claims or perfect their judgments.
The Company accrued customer deposits in the form of advance payments for waste management services that could not be delivered when the Company suspended operations in August 2018. The Company intends to either resume waste management services with those customers or refund the advance payments through a repayment plan.
There can be no assurance that sufficient funds required during the next year or thereafter will be generated from operations or that funds will be available from external sources such as debt or equity financings or other potential sources to satisfy these outstanding liabilities. The lack of additional capital resulting from the inability to generate cash flow from operations or to raise capital from external sources would force the Company to substantially curtail or cease operations and would, therefore, have a material adverse effect on its business.
We currently have no external sources of liquidity such as arrangements with credit institutions or off-balance sheet arrangements that will have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition or immediate access to capital.
We are dependent on the sale of our securities to fund our operations and will remain so until we generate sufficient revenues to pay for our operating costs. Our officers and directors have made no written commitments with respect to providing a source of liquidity in the form of cash advances, loans and/or financial guarantees.
If we are unable to raise the funds, we will seek alternative financing through means such as borrowings from institutions or private individuals. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise the capital we need for our operations from the sale of our securities. We have not located any sources for these funds and may not be able to do so in the future. We expect that we will seek additional financing in the future. However, we may not be able to obtain additional capital or generate sufficient revenues to fund our operations. If we are unsuccessful at raising sufficient funds, for whatever reason, to fund our operations, we may be forced to cease operations. If we fail to raise funds, we expect that we will be required to seek protection from creditors under applicable bankruptcy laws.
Our independent registered public accounting firm has expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and believes that our ability is dependent on our ability to implement our business plan, raise capital and generate revenues. Please see NOTE N - GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTY for further information.
Debt
Our Debt was $469,062 and $575,077 at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Included within the Debt was the following at March 31, 2025: (i) $387,535 due under Factor agreement with AEC Yield Capital, LLC and Notice of Default; (ii) $5,574 due under a short-term capital lease; and (iii) $66,852 in other debt. Please see NOTE H - DEBT for further information.
Convertible Notes
On October 14, 2021, the Company (the "Borrower") entered into a Note Purchase Agreement ("NPA") with each of BHP Capital NY Inc. and Quick Capital, LLC (together, the "Investors") and issued each of the Investors a Secured Convertible Promissory Note (the "Note") in the amount of Six Hundred Sixty-Six Thousand Six Hundred Sixty-Seven and NO/100 Dollars ($666,667). The Note is convertible, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time before maturity (October 14, 2022) at the option of the holder at the Fixed Conversion Price that shall be the lesser of: (a) $0.01 or (b) 70% multiplied by the Market Price (as defined herein) (representing a discount rate of 30%) (the "Fixed Conversion Price"). "Market Price" means the average of the two lowest Closing Prices (as defined below) for the Common Stock during the twenty (20) Trading Day period ending on the latest complete Trading Day prior to the Conversion Date "Trading Day" shall mean any day on which the Common Stock is tradable for any period on the OTCBB, OTCQB or on the principal securities exchange or other securities market on which the Common Stock is then being quoted or traded. To the extent the Conversion Price of the Borrower's Common Stock closes below the par value per share, the Borrower will take all steps necessary to solicit the consent of the stockholders to reduce the par value of the Common Stock to the lowest value possible under law. The Borrower agrees to honor all conversions submitted pending this adjustment. If the shares of the Borrower's Common Stock have not been delivered within three (3) business days to the Holder, the Notice of Conversion may be rescinded by the Holder. If the Trading Price cannot be calculated for such security on such date in the manner provided above, the Trading Price shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Borrower and the Holder for which the calculation of the Trading Price is required in order to determine the Conversion Price of such Notes. If at any time the Conversion Price as determined hereunder for any conversion would be less than the par value of the Common Stock, then at the sole discretion of the Holder, the Conversion Price hereunder may equal such par value for such conversion and the Conversion Amount for such conversion may be increased to include Additional Principal, where "Additional Principal" means such additional amount to be added to the Conversion Amount to the extent necessary to cause the number of conversion shares issuable upon such conversion to equal the same number of conversion shares as would have been issued had the Conversion Price not been adjusted by the Holder to the par value price. The Note has a term of one (1) year and bears interest at 10% annually. As part and parcel of the foregoing transaction, each of the Investors was issued 1,533 shares of common stock as Commitment shares and a warrant (the "Warrant") granting the holder the right to purchase up to 44,444 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $22.50 for a term of 5-years. The transaction closed on October 19, 2021 As of March 31, 2025, $39,388 principal was due on the Quick Capital Note and $69,900 principal was due on the BHP Capital Note.
Cash Flows
We had net cash provided by (used in) operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 of $(8,710) and $ (67,299), respectively.
We had net cash provided in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024of $175,000 and $51,585, respectively. First quarter 2025 proceeds were from the sale of Amwaste rolloff operations.
We had net cash used by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 of $(4,633) and $20,696, respectively. First quarter use of funds were used to pay back the 2023 funding that was needed for our large remediation project at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
Required Capital Over the Next Twelve Months
We expect to incur losses from operations for the near future. We believe we will have to raise an additional $500,000 to expand our operations over the next twelve months, including roughly $50,000 to remain current in our filings with the SEC. The additional funds will be utilized for hiring ancillary staff and key personnel, corporate website and SEO development, acquisition(s) in the waste and recycling management sector and day-to-day operations.
Future financing may include the issuance of equity or debt securities, obtaining credit facilities, or other financing mechanisms. Even if we are able to raise the funds required, it is possible that we could incur unexpected costs and expenses or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force us to seek alternative financing. Furthermore, if we issue additional equity or debt securities, existing holders of our securities may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our securities.
If additional financing is not available or is not available on acceptable terms, we may be required to delay or alter our business plan based on available financing.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The SEC issued Financial Reporting Release No. 60, "Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policies" suggesting that companies provide additional disclosure and commentary on their most critical accounting policies. In Financial Reporting Release No. 60, the SEC has defined the most critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of a company's financial condition and operating results and require management to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Based on this definition, we have identified the following significant policies as critical to the understanding of our financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make a variety of estimates and assumptions that affect (i) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and (ii) the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods covered by the financial statements. Our management expects to make judgments and estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. As the number of variables and assumptions affecting the future resolution of the uncertainties increase, these judgments become even more subjective and complex. Although we believe that our estimates and assumptions are reasonable, actual results may differ significantly from these estimates. Changes in estimates and assumptions based upon actual results may have a material impact on our results.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We did not have, during the periods presented, and we do not currently have, any relationships with any organizations or financial partnerships, such as structured finance or special purpose entities, that would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.
