A Message from Dr. Tamir Gedo, CEO of Beyond Oil
On behalf of our board of directors, I would like to thank all of our shareholders for your unwavering support and trust over these last few months as we transitioned to a publicly traded company. We are very proud to have achieved so much in a short period of time. A large part of 2021 was dedicated to the preparation of the public listing transaction, which successfully closed in May 2022. This was an important milestone for Beyond Oil that has kickstarted our journey towards commercialization.
Despite the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and unstable economics worldwide, we recognize that the market is mature and ready for our disruptive technology. Companies are seeking an innovative solution that will help lower frying oil costs, especially as we navigate the current challenging situation of heightened frying oil prices and operating costs directly impacted by the rising inflation.
Over the past few months, we have been building important partnerships with strong distributors who believe in our patented formulation. We also see growing interest from restaurants, food chains, and food producers who have begun to realize the significant benefits of our product to their companies and their customers. They are keen to collaborate with us - some have already completed successful pilot programs - and join our mission to disrupt and transform the food industry by helping food-service chains reduce significant costs on cooking oil and related expenses.
To all our shareholders, thank you again for your support. We have an exciting road ahead and we look forward to achieving great success together. We are excited to change the world toward a more sustainable future.
Product Highlights
Frying Oil Enhancement: Extensive testing indicates that Beyond Oil's product extends the usable life of frying oil, improves product quality, and reduces frying oil costs. As a preferential adsorbent, the product reduces soluble impurities formed during the frying process that causes damaging free fatty acids (" FFA ") and polar compound formation, undesirable odors, off-flavors, and off-colors. The product is simple to integrate into existing daily filtration processes.
Unique Solution: To the Company's knowledge, Beyond Oil has developed a unique solution that can eliminate FFA almost completely without damaging oil quality. This unique solution outperforms magnesium-based filter powders that have existed for years that only marginally reduce FFA levels.
Patent Protected: The Company has a portfolio of registered and patent-pending solutions that extend the useable life of produced and used oils.
Bottom-Line Savings: Beyond Oil's unique value proposition is that it could dramatically lower costs for quick service restaurants by extending the life use of the oil significantly while retaining the original taste and texture profile.
Health Agency Approvals: The Company received a non-objection letter from the FDA in March 2022, on the basis that all the Beyond Oil product ingredients meet food-grade specifications of the FDA. In May 2022, Beyond Oil received a non-objection letter from Health Canada and a National Sanitation Foundation certification.
How Our Product Works: The Beyond Oil solution integrates with food services and restaurants' existing oil filtration processes as a filter aid. The process includes passive microfiltration designed to remove unwanted components, that degrade oil quality, through a combination of active filtration by the powder and passive filtration by a microfiltration paper. This process ensures no residue is left in the oil while maximizing the efficiency of removing other degradation particles.
