For the six-month period, revenue fell to $38,575 from $318,174 year-over-year. The cessation of waste acceptance at the Belleville Facility due to compliance issues was a primary factor in this revenue drop.

Strategically, SusGlobal is facing substantial doubt regarding its ability to continue as a going concern, primarily due to the need for approximately $10 million to fund capital requirements and general corporate expenses over the next year. The company has also been involved in various legal and financial disputes, including a claim from the City of Belleville for repayment of costs related to contaminated water management.

Management compensation has seen adjustments, with the CEO's monthly fee increasing to $36,970 from $29,576, while stock-based compensation expenses decreased. The company has also faced challenges with its convertible promissory notes, with the outstanding principal balance increasing to $8,149,227 as of June 30, 2024, from $7,442,600 at the end of 2023.

Overall, SusGlobal Energy Corp. is navigating a difficult financial landscape, marked by declining revenues, increasing liabilities, and ongoing compliance issues that necessitate significant investment and strategic restructuring.
