1.   NATURE OF OPERATIONS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Corporate Organization
 
The Company was incorporated on June 12, 2006 as a limited liability company (“LLC”), under the name Envision Solar, LLC.  In September 2007, the company was reorganized as a California C Corporation and issued one share of common stock for each outstanding member unit in the LLC.  Also during 2007, the Company formed various wholly owned subsidiaries to account for its planned future operations.
 
In 2007, the Company established a series of subsidiaries: 1) Envision Energy Group, Inc. 2)  Envision Solar Construction Company, Inc. 3) Envision Solar Design, Inc. 4) Envision Solar Development, Inc. 5) Envision Solar Operation & Management, Inc. 6) Envision Solar Residential, Inc. 7) Envision Solar Technology, Inc. and 8) Greenshade Network, Inc.  In addition, in 2008, the Company established one other subsidiary 9) Envision Africa, LLC, a wholly owned LLC.  During 2008, only two were operational, with Envision Africa, LLC anticipated to become operational in the future. The remaining subsidiaries were dissolved with the Secretary of State of California in 2008.  The two operational subsidiaries included in these unaudited consolidated financial statements are: Envision Solar Residential, Inc. and Envision Solar Construction Company, Inc.
 
On February 11, 2010, Envision Solar International, Inc. was acquired by an inactive publicly-held company in a transaction treated as a recapitalization of the Company. Envision subsequently was merged into the publicly-held company and the name of the publicly-held company was changed to Envision Solar International, Inc. (hereinafter the “Company”, "us", "we", "our" or "Envision"). The effects of the recapitalization have been retroactively applied to all periods presented in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and footnotes. (See note 7)
  
Nature of Operations
  
The Company is a solar project and technology developer providing turn-key design/build solutions for commercial, industrial, institutional and residential projects.  Founded by award-winning sustainable design architects with extensive international business development and industrial design expertise, the Company strives to be first-to-market and the leading worldwide brand in solar parking arrays.  The Company has two lines of business, ParkSolarSM for commercial, industrial and government projects, and LifeSystemsSM for residential and light commercial products and projects. Both groups have envisioned, invented and engineered the leading next generation, patent pending, “solar integrated building systems™” (SIBS™) which are providing the foundation for the lowest cost, most highly engineered solutions available for the massive future worldwide market for solar parking array installations.
 
The Company’s business model includes vertical integration of all key capabilities required for the full, turn-key “single-point-of-contract™” implementation of each project. These capabilities include project planning and management, design, construction, operations and maintenance, and structured finance.  The Company is continuing to secure its position as the key participant at the convergence of solar energy and the real estate and building industry.
 
The Company operates with the following trade names: ParkSolarSM: Commercial Scale Solar Parking Arrays, LifeSystemsSM: Residential Component-Based Solar Integrated Buildings, and GreenShadeSM.

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2010
(Unaudited)
  
Basis of Presentation
 
The interim unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and reclassifications and non-recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly our results of operations and cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 and our financial position as of September 30, 2010 have been made.  The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full year.
 
Certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to the annual consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted from these interim financial statements.  Accordingly, these interim unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.  The December 31, 2009 consolidated balance sheet is derived from those statements.

Principals of Consolidation
 
The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Envision Solar International, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, depreciable lives of property and equipment, valuation of accrued rent, valuation of derivatives, valuation of beneficial conversion features in convertible debt, valuation of share-based payments, valuation of accrued loss contingencies,  and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

Concentrations

Concentration of Credit Risk
 
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash, accounts receivable, and revenues.
 
The Company maintains its cash in bank and financial institution deposits that at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts from inception through September 30, 2010. As of September 30, 2010, there were no amounts greater than the federally insured limits.

Concentration of Accounts Receivable
 
As of September 30, 2010, one customer accounted for 100% of the Company’s accounts receivable balance.

FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2010
(Unaudited)
  
Concentration of Revenues
 
For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, customers that each represented more than 10% of our net revenues were as follows:

 
2010
Customer A
96%
  
Cash and Cash Equivalents
  
For the purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 respectively.
  
Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and short term loans, are carried at historical cost basis. At September 30, 2010, the carrying amounts of these instruments approximated their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

Accounting for Derivatives
 
The Company evaluates its convertible instruments, options, warrants or other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for under ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”.  The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the derivative is marked-to-market each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability.  In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the statement of operations as other income (expense).  Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to equity.  Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification under ASC Topic 815 are reclassified to liability at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date.
 
Revenue Recognition

Revenues consist of design fees for the design of solar systems and arrays, and revenues from sales of professional services. Additionally, revenues are also derived from construction projects for the construction and installation of integrated solutions and proprietary products.
 
Revenues from design services and professional services are recognized as earned.
 
Revenues and related costs on construction projects are recognized using the “percentage of completion method” of accounting in accordance with ASC 605-35, formerly Statement of Position 81-1, “Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production Type Contracts”.  Under this method, contract revenues are recognized over the performance period of the contract in direct proportion to the costs incurred as a percentage of total estimated costs for the entirety of the contract.  Costs include direct material, direct labor, subcontract labor and any allocable indirect costs.  All unallocable indirect costs and corporate general and administrative costs are charged to the periods as incurred.   However, in the event a loss on a contract is foreseen, the Company will recognize the loss when such loss is determined. Contract costs plus recognized profits are accumulated as deferred assets, and billings and/or cash received are recorded to a deferred revenue liability account. The net of these two accounts for any individual project is presented as "Costs and recognized profit in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts", an asset account, or "Billings in excess of cost and recognized profit on uncompleted contracts", a liability account.

Through July 1, 2010 and prospectively for contracts that do not qualify for use of the percentage completion method, the Company accounts for construction contracts using the “completed contract method” of accounting in accordance with ASC 605-35.  Under this method, contract costs are accumulated as deferred assets, and billings and/or cash received are recorded to a deferred revenue liability account, during the periods of construction, but no revenues, costs, or profits are recognized in operations until the period upon completion of the contract.  Costs include direct material, direct labor, subcontract labor and any allocable indirect costs.  All unallocable indirect costs and corporate general and administrative costs are charged to the periods as incurred.  However, in the event a loss on a contract is foreseen, the Company will recognize the loss as it is incurred. The deferred asset (accumulated contract costs) in excess of the deferred liability (billings and/or cash received) is classified as a current asset under "Costs in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts".  The deferred liability (billings and/or cash received) in excess of the deferred asset (accumulated contract costs) is classified under current liabilities as "Billings in excess of costs on uncompleted contracts".

A contract is considered complete when all costs except insignificant items have been incurred and the installation is operating according to specifications or has been accepted by the customer.

FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2010

The Company has contracts in various stages of completion.  Such contracts require estimates to determine the appropriate cost and revenue recognition.  Costs estimates are reviewed periodically on a contract-by-contract basis throughout the life of the contract such that adjustments to the profit resulting from revisions are made cumulative to the date of the revision.  Significant management judgments and estimates, including the estimated costs to complete projects, must be made and used in connection with the revenue recognized in the accounting period.  Current estimates may be revised as additional information becomes available.
 
The Company includes shipping and handling fees billed to customers as revenues, and shipping and handling costs as cost of revenues.  The Company does not provide any warranties on its products other than those passed on to its customers from its manufacturers, if any.

Net Loss Per Share
 
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the periods presented.  Diluted net loss per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period.  Potential common shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options, stock warrants, convertible debt instruments or other common stock equivalents.
 
Convertible debt convertible into 4,160,004 common shares, options to purchase 13,147,201 common shares and warrants to purchase 1,876,781 common shares were outstanding during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, but were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share because the effects would have been anti-dilutive.  These common stock equivalents that remain outstanding at September 30, 2010 may dilute future earnings per share.
 
Reclassifications
 
Certain amounts in the accompanying 2009 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2010 presentation.
 
Segments
 
The Company follows ASC 280-10 for, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." During 2010, the Company only operated in one segment; therefore, segment information has not been presented.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements”.  This update provides amendments to Topic 820 that will provide more robust disclosures about (1) the different classes of assets and liabilities measured at fair value, (2) the valuation techniques and inputs used, (3) the activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, and (4) the transfers between Levels 1, 2, and 3.  The adoption of ASU 2010-06 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-09, “Subsequent Events (Topic 855): Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements”.  This update addresses both the interaction of the requirements of Topic 855, “Subsequent Events”, with the SEC’s reporting requirements and the intended breadth of the reissuance disclosures provision related to subsequent events (paragraph 855-10-50-4).  The amendments in this update have the potential to change reporting by both private and public entities, however, the nature of the change may vary depending on facts and circumstances.  The adoption of ASU 2010-09 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.
 
In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-13, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”.  This update will clarify the classification of an employee share based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which the underlying security trades.  This update will be effective for the first fiscal quarter beginning after December 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted.  The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-13 to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

2.    GOING CONCERN

As reflected in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company had net losses of $1,637,545 (which includes stock based compensation for options of $31,320) and cash used in operations of $736,336. Additionally, at September 30, 2010, the Company had a working capital deficit of $3,601,426, an accumulated deficit of $19,069,661 and a stockholders’ deficit of $3,402,617.
 
As a result of the merger between Casita, Inc. and the Company, Envision is currently conducting a capital raise whereby it intends to raise not less than $2,500,000.  These funds are expected to be sufficient to cover monthly operating expenses as well as meet minimum payments with respect to the Company’s liabilities over the next twelve months. From January 1, 2010, through the date of this filing, the Company has raised $987,900 under the offering.
  
The unaudited consolidated 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 the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

3.    NOTE PAYABLE and CONVERTIBLE NOTE PAYABLE - RELATED PARTY

Note Payable – Related Party
 
As of September 30, 2010, the Company owed one of the Company’s stockholders and former officer $34,246.  The note bears interest at 5% and was due and payable with accrued interest on or before December 31, 2009.  The note was not paid at maturity, and as of September 30, 2010, this note was in default for payment of principal and interest (See Note 9).

Convertible Note Payable – Related Party

During 2009, John Evey advanced $50,000 in March and $50,000 in September to the Company.  On October 1, 2009, the Company executed a 10% convertible promissory note for $102,236, which includes the total $100,000 principal advanced plus $2,236 of accrued interest.  This note is due December 31, 2010.  This note is convertible to common shares at $0.33 per share.  There was no beneficial conversion feature at the note date.  However, if the Company receives greater than $1,000,000 debt or equity financing proceeds, 25% of amount in excess of $1,000,000 shall be used to pay down the note.  This note is subordinate to the Gemini Master Funds notes. On April 27, 2010, Mr. Evey was added to the Board of Directors of Envision (See Note 9).

4.    CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
 
Summary:

As of September 30, 2010, the following summarizes amounts owed under convertible notes:  
    Amount     Discount     Convertible Notes Payable, net of discount  
 Pegasus Note    $ 100,000     $ -     $ 100,000  
 Gemini Master Fund – Second Amended Note   $ 811,792     $ 397,566     $ 414,226  
 Gemini Master Fund –Note Five   $ 75,000     $ 36,730     $ 38,270  
    $ 986,792     $ 434,296     $ 552,496  
  
On December 19, 2009, the Company entered into a convertible promissory note for $100,000 to a new landlord in lieu of paying rent for one year for new office space.  The interest is 10% per annum with the note principal and interest due December 18, 2010.  However, if the Company receives greater than $100,000 of proceeds from debt or equity financing, 25% of the amount in excess of $100,000 shall be used to pay down the note.  This note is subordinate to all existing senior indebtedness of the Company.  This note is convertible at $0.33 per share.  There was no beneficial conversion feature at the note date.
 
On January 20, 2010, the Company entered into a Second Amendment Agreement with Gemini Master Fund, LTD whereby certain terms of the First Amendment Agreement were modified.  Under the Second Amendment Agreement the conversion price for all previous notes was reduced from $0.33 to $0.25 per share; the interest payment was extended from January 4, 2010 to April 1, 2010; and the beneficial ownership percentage was reduced from 9.9% to 4.9%.  There was no accounting effect for the price reductions as the conversion prices were greater than the fair value of the common stock.
 
On February 12, 2010, the Company issued to Gemini Master Fund, LTD the Second Amended and Restated Secured Bridge Note in the amount of $811,792 consolidating all principal amounts outstanding at this date along with all accrued but unpaid interest.  The terms of the note did not change. Prior to such issue, the Company paid down approximately $69,000 of the outstanding balance.
 
On March 10, 2010, the Company entered into a new secured note with Gemini Master Fund, LTD, Note No. 5, for $75,000.  The new note bears interest at 12% per annum, payable in quarterly installments of the accrued and unpaid interest, beginning April 1, 2010, with the note maturing on December 31, 2010. In the event a quarterly payment is late, it incurs a late fee of 20%.  The note carries a conversion feature whereby, the lender, at its option, may at any time convert this loan into common stock at $0.25 per share.  There is no beneficial conversion value as the conversion price was deemed to be equal to or greater that the fair value of the common stock.
 
Prior to June 30, 2010 all shares underlying the Gemini Master Fund convertible debt were subject to a lock-up agreement, and the shares were not easily convertible to cash thus, the embedded conversion option did not need to be bifurcated and recorded as a fair value derivative due to the price protection provision in the notes.  Subsequent to June 30, 2010, such lock-up provisions expired and as such, the Company has determined that the embedded conversion option met the definition of a derivative liability and thus must be bifurcated and recorded as a fair value derivative.

On July 1, 2010 the Company established an embedded conversion option liability of $868,591 for the above mentioned $886,792 of Gemini debt.  The Company recorded a debt discount of $868,591 related to the fair value of the liability for the embedded conversion option.  The fair value was determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions:  stock price $0.48, conversion price $0.25, expected term of six months based on the contractual term, volatility of 86% based on historical volatility, and a risk free interest rate of 0.2%.  As of September 30, 2010, the Company amortized three months, or $434,295 of debt discount to interest expense.

Fair Value Measurements – Derivative liability:

  The accounting standard for fair value measurements provides a framework for measuring fair value and requires expanded disclosures regarding fair value measurements.  Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for an asset or the exit price that would be paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.  The accounting standard established a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available.  This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows.  Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.  Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.  Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on the Company’s own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value.  An asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
 
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring and non-recurring basis consisted of the following at September 30, 2010:
  
            Fair value Measurements at September 30, 2010  
      Carrying Value at September 30, 2010     (Level 1)     (Level 2)     (Level 3)  
  Embedded Conversion Option Liability   $ 692,246     $ -     $ -     $ 692,246  
   
The following is a summary of activity of Level 3 liabilities for the period ended September 30, 2010:
  
Balance at July 1, 2010   $ 868,591  
Change in fair value   $ (176,345 )
Balance September 30, 2010   $ 692,246  
  
Changes in fair value of the embedded conversion option liability are included in other income (expense) in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
 
The Company estimates the fair value of the embedded conversion liability utilizing the Black-Scholes pricing model, which is dependent upon several variables such as the expected term (based on contractual term), expected volatility of our stock price over the expected term (based on historical volatility), expected risk-free interest rate over the expected term, and the expected dividend yield rate over the expected term.  The Company believes this valuation methodology is appropriate for estimating the fair value of the derivative liability.  The following table summarizes the assumptions the Company utilized to estimate the fair value of the embedded conversion option at September 30, 2010:

5.    NOTES PAYABLE

On April 22, 2010, the Company entered into a new non-secured note with Gemini Master Fund, LTD, Note No. 2010-3, for $50,000.  The new note bears interest at 12% per annum, payable in quarterly installments of the accrued and unpaid interest, beginning July 1, 2010, with the note maturing on August 20, 2010. In the event a quarterly payment is late, it incurs a late fee of 20%.
 
On June 1, 2010, the Company entered into a Promissory Note with one of its vendors in exchange for the vendor cancelling its open invoices to the Company. Total outstanding payables recorded by the Company at the time of conversion were $179,695. The loan amount was for $160,633 and bears interest at 10%. The Company recorded a gain on the conversion of $19,062.  The note can be converted only at the option of the Company, at any time, into common stock with a conversion price of $0.33 per share. The note plus the accrued interest is all due and payable on December 31, 2011.

6.    COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Leases:
  
On March 26, 2007, the Company entered into a lease agreement for its corporate office on a month-to-month basis beginning May 1, 2007, in La Jolla, California.  Monthly rent at the premise was approximately $6,140 per month.  In February 2008, the lease was amended to include a three year term, amongst other changes. During 2009, the Company entered into litigation with the landlord due to the Company’s default on rental payments and in December 2009, the Company abandoned the premises.  (See "Legal Matters" below)  The Company vacated these premises in 2009 and has recognized the approximately $268,000 present value of the remaining lease obligations as a liability on its unaudited consolidated balance sheet.

Legal Matters:

From time to time, we may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business.  As of September 30, 2010, there were no pending or threatened lawsuits that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the results of our operations except for the following:
 
In August 2008, the Company received a letter from a contractor asserting that $400,000 was owed resulting from an alleged breach of contract.  The Company denies any liability under the agreement and facts of the assertion and rejected the claim.  No further communications have been had to date and based on the information available at this time, it is not possible to determine the possible outcome of this matter.

The Company is a party to a lawsuit filed in July 2009 with a company owned by one its shareholders.  The lawsuit alleges fraud in misrepresenting signed contracts in the 2008 Private Placement Memorandum and seeks to recover $250,000 in investments made in the private placement and approximately $166,000 plus interest at 10% from April 1, 2009 in monies owed for project work in 2008 and 2009.  In connection with the litigation, key individuals are going through the deposition process and the Company is responding to discovery of documents.  The Company denies any liability under the lawsuit and has rejected the claim.  No other communications have been had to date and based on the information available at this time, it is not possible to determine the possible outcome of this matter.  The amounts owed under project work aggregating approximately $166,000 have been accrued as accounts payable as of September 30, 2010.
 
The Company is a party to a lawsuit with its former landlord whereby the landlord claims that the Company broke its lease with respect to the rental of office space, which housed the Company’s headquarters.  The Company attempted to renegotiate the remaining term of its lease at a lower rate but the proposal was rejected by the Landlord.  The Company vacated premises on December 20, 2009 and the landlord repossessed premises on January 1, 2010.  The Plaintiff seeks damages for past rent due, interest and attorney’s fees.  The Company does not deny the breach of its lease and is attempting to work out a settlement.  As of September 30, 2010, the Company has accrued approximately $268,000 representing the fair value of the future rent due under the abandoned lease.  (See “Leases” above)
 
On February 4, 2010, Continental Maritime filed a complaint for breach of contract.  The Plaintiff provided steel columns and associated labor to the Company as part of UC-San Diego Solar Parking Structure project. The claim is for approximately $140,000. The Agreement was entered into on June 9, 2008.  Due to project cost overruns and capital raise shortfalls in 2008 and 2009, the Company was unable to make payments on the remaining balance.  The Company is reviewing the claim to assess its liability if any under the lawsuit and the basis for the claim.  No further communications have been had to date and based on the information available at this time, it is not possible to determine the possible outcome of this matter.  The Company has accrued payables to this vendor of approximately $140,000 at September 30, 2010.
 
On May 3, 2010, the Company reached a legal settlement with a former employee regarding a wrongful termination suit.  The settlement provided for a general release with respect to any past or future claims and the payment of $7,500 to the plaintiff by June 2, 2010.  Such amount was paid to the plaintiff by the Company to perfect such settlement.

Other Commitments:

The Company enters into various contracts or agreements in the normal course of business whereby such contracts or agreements may contain commitments.  Since inception, the Company entered into agreements to act as a reseller for certain vendors; joint development contracts with third parties; referral agreements where the Company would pay a referral fee to the referrer for business generated; sales agent agreements whereby sales agents would received a fee equal to a percentage of revenues generated by the agent; business development agreements and strategic alliance agreements where both parties agree to cooperate and provide business opportunities to each other and in some instances, provide for a right of first refusal with respect to certain projects of the other parties; agreements with vendors where the vendor may provide marketing, public relations, technical consulting or subcontractor services and financial advisory agreements where the financial advisor would receive a fee and/or commission for raising capital for the Company.  All expenses and liabilities relating to such contracts were recorded in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles through September 30, 2010. Although such agreements increase the risk of legal actions against the Company for potential non-compliance, there are no firm commitments in such agreements as of September 30, 2010.

Upon the signing of customer contracts, the Company enters into various other agreements with third party vendors who will provide services and/or products to the Company.  Such vendor agreements may call for a deposit along with certain other payments based on the delivery of goods or services.  Payments made by the Company before the completion of projects are treated as prepaid assets and due to the contractual nature of the agreement; the Company may be contingently liable for other payments required under the agreement.

7.    COMMON STOCK

Recapitalization

On February 11, 2010, (the “recapitalization date”), the Company was acquired by an inactive publicly-held company in a transaction treated as a recapitalization of the Company. Just subsequent to consummation of the acquisition, the shareholders of the Company retained approximately 67% of the voting common stock of the public company before consideration of unexercised common stock options and warrants.  The publicly-held entity had $200,000 of cash and no liabilities on the recapitalization date.  The Company is deemed to have issued 13,000,000 common shares to the pre-recapitalization shareholders of the publicly-held entity.  In connection with the recapitalization, the Company increased its’ authorized shares to 162,500,000 in February 2010.  The effects of the recapitalization based on a combination exchange ratio and forward-split of the common shares aggregating 30.5428526 have been retrospectively applied to all periods presented in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and footnotes.  The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the historical operations of the Company and the operations of the publicly-held entity from the date of the recapitalization and the balance sheets of both entities, as consolidated, beginning on the recapitalization date.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
  
This report contains forward-looking statements that are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections about us, the industry in which we operate and other matters, as well as management's beliefs and assumptions and other statements regarding matters that are not historical facts. These statements include, in particular, statements about our plans, strategies and prospects. For example, when we use words such as "projects," "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "believes," "seeks," "estimates," "should," "would," "could," "will," "opportunity," "potential" or "may," and variations of such words or other words that convey uncertainty of future events or outcomes, we are making forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 (Securities Act) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act).

These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties that may cause the Company’s actual results to be materially different from any future results expressed or implied by the Company in those statements.  The most important factors that could prevent the Company from achieving its stated goals include, but are not limited to, the following:

 
(a)
volatility or decline of the Company’s stock price;

 
(b)
potential fluctuation in quarterly results;

 
(c)
failure of the Company to earn revenues or profits;

 
(d)
inadequate capital to continue or expand its business, and inability to raise additional capital or financing to implement its business plans;

 
(e)
unavailability of capital or financing to prospective customers of the Company to enable them to purchase products and services from the Company;

 
(f)
failure to commercialize the Company’s technology or to make sales;

 
(g)
reductions in demand for the Company’s products and services, whether because of competition, general industry conditions, loss of tax incentives for solar power, technological obsolescence or other reasons;

 
(h)
rapid and significant changes in markets;

 
(i)
litigation with or legal claims and allegations by outside parties;

 
(j)
insufficient revenues to cover operating costs, resulting in persistent losses; and
   
 
(k)
potential dilution of the ownership of existing shareholders in the Company due to the issuance of new securities by the Company in the future.

There is no assurance that the Company will be profitable.  The Company may not be able to successfully develop, manage or market its products and services. The Company may not be able to attract or retain qualified executives and other personnel.  Intense competition may suppress the prices that the Company can charge for its products and services, hindering profitability or causing losses.  The Company may not be able to obtain customers for its products or services.  Government regulation may hinder the Company’s business. Additional dilution in outstanding stock ownership may be incurred due to the issuance of more shares, warrants and stock options, or the exercise of outstanding warrants and stock options. The Company is exposed to other risks inherent in its businesses.
  
Because the statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.  The Company cautions you not to place undue reliance on the statements, which speak only as of the date of this unaudited Form 10-Q.  The cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section should be considered in connection with any subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements that the Company or persons acting on its behalf may issue.  The Company does not undertake any obligation to review or confirm analysts’ expectations or estimates or to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Form 10-Q, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

OVERVIEW:

Recent Events
   
Prior to February 11, 2010, we were a “shell company”, as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission, without material assets or activities. On February 11, 2010, we completed a merger pursuant to which a wholly owned subsidiary of ours merged with and into Envision Solar International, Inc., a California corporation ("Envision CA"), with Envision being the surviving corporation and becoming our wholly owned subsidiary. On March 11, 2010, Envision CA was merged into our publicly-held company and the name of the publicly-held company was changed to Envision Solar International, Inc. (hereinafter “Envision”, “Company”, “us”, “we” or “our”). In connection with this merger, we discontinued our former business and succeeded to the business of Envision as our sole line of business. The merger is being accounted for as a recapitalization, with Envision deemed to be the accounting acquirer and Casita Enterprises, Inc. ("Casita") the acquired company. Accordingly, Envision’s historical financial statements for periods prior to the merger have become those of the registrant (Casita) retroactively restated for, and giving effect to, the number of shares received in the merger. The accumulated earnings of Envision were also carried forward after the acquisition. Operations reported for periods prior to the merger are those of Envision.

Critical Accounting Policies
     
Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. (“U.S. GAAP”) requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The unaudited consolidated financial statements include estimates based on currently available information and our judgment as to the outcome of future conditions and circumstances.  Significant estimates in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, depreciable lives of property and equipment, valuation of accrued rent, valuation of derivatives, valuation of beneficial conversion features in convertible debt, valuation of share-based payments, valuation of accrued loss contingencies,  and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

Revenue and Cost Recognition.  Revenues consist of design fees for the design of solar systems and arrays, and revenues from sales of professional services.  Additionally, revenues are also derived from construction projects for the construction and installation of integrated solutions and proprietary products.
 
Revenues from design services and professional services are recognized as earned.
 
Revenues and related costs on construction projects are recognized using the “percentage of completion method” of accounting in accordance with ASC 605-35, formerly Statement of Position 81-1, “Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production Type Contracts”.  Under this method, contract revenues are recognized over the performance period of the contract in direct proportion to the costs incurred as a percentage of total estimated costs for the entirety of the contract.  Costs include direct material, direct labor, subcontract labor and any allocable indirect costs.  All unallocable indirect costs and corporate general and administrative costs are charged to the periods as incurred.   However, in the event a loss on a contract is foreseen, the Company will recognize the loss when such loss is determined. Contract costs plus recognized profits are accumulated as deferred assets, and billings and/or cash received are recorded to a deferred revenue liability account. The net of these two accounts for any individual project is presented as "Costs and recognized profit in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts", an asset account, or "Billings in excess of cost and recognized profit on uncompleted contracts", a liability account.

Through July 1, 2010 and prospectively for contracts that do not qualify for use of the percentage completion method, the Company accounts for construction contracts using the “completed contract method” of accounting in accordance with ASC 605-35.  Under this method, contract costs are accumulated as deferred assets, and billings and/or cash received are recorded to a deferred revenue liability account, during the periods of construction, but no revenues, costs, or profits are recognized in operations until the period upon completion of the contract.  Costs include direct material, direct labor, subcontract labor and any allocable indirect costs.  All unallocable indirect costs and corporate general and administrative costs are charged to the periods as incurred.  However, in the event a loss on a contract is foreseen, the Company will recognize the loss as it is incurred. The deferred asset (accumulated contract costs) in excess of the deferred liability (billings and/or cash received) is classified as a current asset under "Costs in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts".  The deferred liability (billings and/or cash received) in excess of the deferred asset (accumulated contract costs) is classified under current liabilities as "Billings in excess of costs on uncompleted contracts".

A contract is considered complete when all costs except insignificant items have been incurred and the installation is operating according to specifications or has been accepted by the customer.
 
The Company has contracts in various stages of completion.  Such contracts require estimates to determine the appropriate cost and revenue recognition.  Costs estimates are reviewed periodically on a contract-by-contract basis throughout the life of the contract such that adjustments to the profit resulting from revisions are made cumulative to the date of the revision.  Significant management judgments and estimates, including the estimated costs to complete projects, must be made and used in connection with the revenue recognized in the accounting period.  Current estimates may be revised as additional information becomes available.
 
The Company includes shipping and handling fees billed to customers as revenues, and shipping and handling costs as cost of revenues.  The Company does not provide any warranties on its products other than those passed on to its customers from its manufacturers, if any.
 
Stock Based Compensation.  At inception, we adopted ASC 718, Share Based Payment and Related Interpretations. ASC 718 requires companies to estimate and recognize the fair value of stock-based awards to employees and directors. The value of the portion of an award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense over the requisite service periods using the straight-line attribution method.  We estimate the fair value of each stock option at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
 
Accounts Receivable.  Accounts receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms.  Management reviews accounts receivable on a monthly basis to determine if any receivables will potentially be uncollectible.  Management’s evaluation includes several factors including the aging of the accounts receivable balances, a review of significant past due accounts, our historical write-off experience, net of recoveries and economic conditions.  The Company includes any accounts receivable balances that are determined to be uncollectible, along with a general reserve, in its overall allowance for doubtful accounts.  After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments.  We measure our financial assets and liabilities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  For certain of our financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and short term loans, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short maturities.
 
Changes in Accounting Principles.  No significant changes in accounting principles were adopted during the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
 
 
19

 
 
Accounting for derivatives.  The Company evaluates its options, warrants or other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for under ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”.  The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the derivative is marked-to-market each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability.  In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the statement of operations as other income (expense).  Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to equity.  Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification under ASC Topic 815 are reclassified to liability at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date.

Results of Operations

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2010 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2009

Revenue.   For the three months ended September 30, 2010, our revenue was $0, compared to $304,314 for the same period in 2009.  This decline in revenue was attributable to two main elements. First, recent market conditions created an environment in which potential customers had greater than usual difficulty in securing the financing required for certain types of solar developments. This market climate is easing and the Company is seeing increased activity related to projects with financing sensitivity. Second, the Company underwent a restructuring and a merger and elected to divert its internal resources to the successful execution of the restructuring and the merger, as well as to creating a foundation from which it could take advantage of the significant pipeline it has developed for product and service sales in future periods.
 
Gross Profit.  For the three months ended September 30, 2010, our gross profit was $0, compared to a gross profit of $207,796 for the same period in 2009.
 
Operating Expenses.  Total operating expenses were $428,259 for the three months ended September 30, 2010, compared to $2,456,790 for the same period in 2009.  This reduction was caused by lower operating expenses, employee-related costs, and travel expenses. Further, stock based compensation was $10,440 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $2,038,672 for the three months ended September 30, 2009.
 
Provision for Income Taxes.  Our income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2010 were $2,564, compared to $0 for the same period in 2009.  We did not incur any federal tax liability for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 because we incurred operating losses in these periods. These taxes specifically related to State of California Franchise Taxes in the three months ended September 30, 2010, as we recorded minimum payments to the state. 
 
Interest Expense.  Interest expense was $473,205 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $245,992 for the same period in 2009. The increase was primarily derived from the amortization of debt discount in the period ended September 30, 2010 related to the embedded conversion option derivative components of the current debt instruments that took effect in the period.
 
Net Earnings (loss).  We generated net losses of $727,674 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to approximately $2,494,986 for the same period in 2009.

Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009

Revenue.   For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, our revenue was $169,082 compared to $715,522 for the same period in 2009, representing a decrease of 76%.  This decline in revenue was attributable to two main elements. First, recent market conditions created an environment in which potential customers had greater than usual difficulty in securing the financing required for certain types of solar developments. This market climate is easing and the Company is seeing increased activity related to projects with financing sensitivity. Second, the Company underwent a restructuring and a merger and elected to divert its internal resources to the successful execution of the restructuring and the merger as well as to creating a foundation from which it could take advantage of the significant pipeline it has developed for product and service sales in future periods.  Envision Construction’s revenue, which the Company now considers as inactive, was $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $431,538 for the same period in 2009, a decrease of 100%.  Architectural design fee income was $6,456 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $283,984 for the same period in 2009, a decrease of 98%.

Gross Profit.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, our gross profit was $119,179, compared to a gross profit of $349,106 for the same period in 2009, representing a decrease of 66%. The decrease in our gross profit resulted primarily from lower margin projects in 2010 and decreased revenues due to the inability of our customers to obtain financing in order to start new projects.

Operating Expenses.  Total operating expenses were $1,399,220 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to $3,549,654 for the same period in 2009, a decrease of 61%.  This reduction was primarily caused by lower operating expenses, employee-related costs, and travel expenses, however, these cost savings were offset by more utilization of outside consultants while the Company develops systems and methodologies for attracting and securing new business. Further, stock based compensation was $31,320 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $2,449,014 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.
 
 Provision for Income Taxes.  Our income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 were $8,872, compared to $3,219 for the same period in 2009.  We did not incur any federal tax liability for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 because we incurred operating losses in these periods. These taxes specifically related to State of California Franchise Taxes and in the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we paid approximately $8,000 as the minimum payments to the state. 

Net Earnings (loss).  We generated net losses of $1,637,545 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to approximately $3,557,679 for the same period in 2009, a decrease of 54%.  

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General.  At September 30, 2010, we had cash and cash equivalents of $68,571. We have historically met our cash needs through a combination of cash flows from operating activities, proceeds from private placements of our securities, and from loans. Our cash requirements are generally for operating activities. 

Our operating activities used cash in operations of  $736,336 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, and we used cash in operations of  $98,211 for the same period in 2009. The principal elements of cash flow from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 included a net loss of $1,637,545 offset by depreciation expense of $46,489,  stock-based compensation expense of $31,320, stock for services of $143,179, the non cash amortization of debt discount of $434,295, increased investment in operating working capital elements of approximately $418,000 and was offset by the change in the fair value of the embedded conversion liability of $176,345.

Cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $0 compared to $0 during the same period in 2009.

Cash received in our financing activities was $781,700 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to cash received of approximately $115,504 during the same period in 2009.  The 2010 increase in cash is attributable to additional debt financing along with the sale of common stock.

As of September 30, 2010, current liabilities exceeded current assets by approximately $3,600,000. Current assets increased from $133,241 at December 31, 2009 to $201,839 at September 30, 2010 while current liabilities increased to $3,803,265 at September 30, 2010 from $3,050,545 at December 31, 2009. As a result, our working capital decreased from a deficit of $2,917,304 at December 31, 2009 to a deficit of $3,601,426 at September 30, 2010.

Management believes that changes in the operations of the Company will allow it to execute on the strategic plan and enable it to experience profitable growth in the future. Those changes are: addition of new experienced management, reduction of overhead costs, process improvements, increased public awareness of the Company and its products, improvements in the capital markets and the maturation of certain long sales cycle opportunities.  Management believes that these changes in the operational structure and management of the Company will enable the Company to generate sufficient revenue and gross margins and raise additional growth capital to allow the Company to manage its debt burden appropriately and return the Company to growth in the future. This is no assurance, however, as to if or when the Company will be able to achieve those investment objectives. The Company does not have sufficient capital to meet its current cash needs, which include the costs of compliance with the continuing reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  The Company intends to seek additional capital and long term debt financing to attempt to overcome its working capital deficit.  The Company is currently conducting a private placement of its stock to raise capital, but there is no assurance that the Company can raise sufficient capital or obtain sufficient financing to enable it to sustain monthly operations.  In order to address its working capital deficit, the Company also intends to endeavor to increase sales of its existing products and services. There may not be sufficient funds available to the Company to enable it to remain in business and the Company’s needs for additional financing are likely to persist, although the management team believes that recent operational and business development changes are causing this situation to improve.

Going Concern Qualification

The Company has incurred significant losses from operations, and such losses are expected to continue. The Company’s auditors have included a "Going Concern Qualification" in their report for the year ended December 31, 2009.  In addition, the Company has limited working capital and is in default on a note payable. The foregoing raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans include seeking additional capital or debt financing. There is no guarantee that additional capital or debt financing will be available when and to the extent required, or that if available, it will be on terms acceptable to the Company. The unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.  The "Going Concern Qualification" might make it substantially more difficult to raise capital.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources, that is material to investors.
  
Item 4T.  Controls and Procedures
 
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based closely on the definition of “disclosure controls and procedures” in Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
 
At the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2010, the disclosure controls and procedures of our Company were not effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports was recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis.

The Company is undertaking to improve its internal control over financial reporting and improve its disclosure controls and procedures.  As of December 31, 2009, we had identified the following material weaknesses which still exist as of September 30, 2010 and through the date of this report:
  
As of December 31, 2009 and as of the date of this report, we did not maintain effective controls over the control environment. Specifically, the Board of Directors does not currently have a director who qualifies as an audit committee financial expert as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-B.  Also, because of the size of the Company’s administrative staff, controls related to the segregation of certain duties have not been developed and the Company has not been able to adhere to them. Furthermore, we have not formally adopted a written code of business conduct and ethics that governs the Company’s employees, officers and directors.  Since these entity level programs have a pervasive effect across the organization, management has determined that these circumstances constitute a material weakness.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2010, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
  
Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

The Company may be involved in legal actions and claims arising in the ordinary course of business from time to time.  The following are a list of ongoing litigation matters:

The Company is a party to a lawsuit filed in July 2009 by a company owned by one the Company’s shareholders.  The lawsuit alleges fraud in misrepresenting signed contracts in the Company’s 2008 Private Placement Memorandum and seeks to recover $250,000 in investments made in the private placement and approximately $166,000 plus interest at 10% per annum from April 1, 2009 in monies owed for project work in 2008 and 2009.  In connection with the litigation, the Company is responding to discovery of documents.  The Company denies any liability under the lawsuit and has rejected the claim.

The Company is a party to a lawsuit with its former landlord whereby the landlord claims that the Company breached its lease with respect to the rental of office space, which housed the Company’s headquarters.  The Company attempted to renegotiate the remaining term of its lease at a lower rate but the proposal was rejected by the landlord.  The Company vacated the premises on December 20, 2009 and the landlord repossessed the premises on January 1, 2010.  The landlord seeks damages for past rent due, interest and attorney’s fees.  The Company is attempting to work out a settlement with the landlord.

On February 4, 2010, Continental Maritime filed a complaint for breach of contract.  The Plaintiff provided steel columns and associated labor to the Company as part of UC-San Diego Solar Parking Structure project. The claim is for approximately $140,000. The agreement was entered into by the Company and Continental Maritime on June 9, 2008.  Due to project cost overruns and capital shortfalls in 2008 and 2009, the Company was unable to make payments on the remaining balance.  The Company is reviewing the claim to assess its liability, if any, under the lawsuit and the basis for the claim.
