NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2014

(Unaudited)

 

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

 

Nature of Operations

 

Envision Solar International Inc. (along with its subsidiary, hereinafter the “Company”, “us”, “we”, “our” or “Envision”), a Nevada corporation, is a developer of solar products and proprietary technology solutions targeting three vehicles: electric vehicle charging infrastructures; out of home advertising infrastructure; and renewable energy production and disaster preparedness. The Company focuses on renewably energized platforms for EV charging and media and branding which are attractive, rapidly deployed, and of the highest quality. Management believes the Company's chief differentiator is its ability to design and engineer architecturally accretive products which are a complex integration of simple, commonly available engineered components. The resulting products are built to have the longest life expectancy in the industry while also delivering a highly appealing architectural enhancement to our customer’s locations. Management believes that Envision's products deliver multiple layers of value such as media and advertising platforms, architectural enhancement of the parking lot, reduction of heat islanding through shading, improved parking through shading, high visibility "green halo" branding, reduction of net operating costs through reduced utility bills and the creation of an iconic luxury landmark where simple parking existed previously.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The interim unaudited condensed 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 months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, and our financial position as of March 31, 2014, 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 condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. The December 31, 2013 consolidated balance sheet is derived from those statements.

 

Principals of Consolidation

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Envision Solar International, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary. 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 condensed consolidated financial statements include the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, valuation of inventory, depreciable lives of property and equipment, estimates of costs to complete and earnings on uncompleted contracts, estimates of loss contingencies, valuation of derivatives, valuation of beneficial conversion features in convertible debt, valuation of share-based payments, 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, 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 March 31, 2014. As of March 31, 2014, there was $757,193 greater than the federally insured limits.

 

Concentration of Accounts Receivable

 

As of March 31, 2014, one customer represented 94% of the Company’s net accounts receivable balance.

 

Concentration of Revenues

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2014, one customer represented 96% of our net revenues. 

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For the purposes of the unaudited condensed 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 March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 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 March 31, 2014, 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 are primarily derived from the direct sales of products in addition to construction projects for the construction and installation of integrated solutions and proprietary products. Revenues may also consist of design fees for the design of solar systems and arrays, and revenues from sales of professional services.

 

Revenues from design services and professional services are recognized as earned.

 

Revenues from inventoried product sales are recognized upon the final delivery of such product to the customer. Any deposits received from a customer prior to such delivery are accounted for as deferred revenue on the balance sheet.

 

Revenues and related costs on construction projects are recognized using the “percentage of completion method” of accounting in accordance with ASC 605-35, “Construction-Type and 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, allocable depreciation, and other allocable indirect costs and are charged to the periods as incurred. All unallocable indirect costs and corporate general and administrative costs are also charged to the periods as incurred. Any recognized revenues that have not been billed to a customer are recorded as an asset in “costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts.” Any billings of customers in excess of recognized revenues are recorded as a liability in “Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts.” However, in the event a loss on a contract is foreseen, the Company will recognize the loss when such loss is determined.

 

For construction contracts that do not qualify for use of the percentage of 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 when such loss is determined. 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 may have contracts in various stages of completion. Such contracts require estimates to determine the appropriate cost and revenue recognition. Cost 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 generally provides a standard one year warranty on its products for materials and workmanship but will pass on the warranties from its vendors, if any, which generally cover at least such period. As the Company expands its product offerings, it may offer expanded warranties on certain components. In accordance with ASC 450-20-25, the Company accrues for product warranties when the loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated.  At March 31, 2014, the Company has no product warranty accrual given its lack of historical warranty experience.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company follows ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation.” ASC 718 requires companies to estimate and recognize the fair value of stock-based awards to employees and directors. The fair 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.

 

The Company accounts for non-employee share-based awards in accordance with the measurement and recognition criteria of ASC 505-50 “Equity-Based Payments to Non Employees.”

 

The Company estimates the fair value of each stock option at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

 

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 notes payable that are convertible into 6,899,159 common shares, options to purchase 24,649,863 common shares and warrants to purchase 15,223,651 common shares were outstanding at March 31, 2014. These shares were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2014 because the effects would have been anti-dilutive. These instruments may dilute future earnings per share.

 

Segments

 

The Company follows ASC 280-10 for, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." During 2013 and 2014, the Company only operated in one segment; therefore, segment information has not been presented.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

There are no new accounting pronouncements during the three month periods ended March 31, 2014 that affect the consolidated financial position of the Company or the results of its’ operations. Any Accounting Standard Updates which are not effective until after March 31, 2014 are not expected to have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of its’ operations.

2.GOING CONCERN

 

As reflected in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company had net losses of $1,017,230. Additionally, at March 31, 2014, the Company had a working capital deficit of $1,124,187, an accumulated deficit of $28,633,328 and a stockholders’ deficit of $1,028,131. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

In the upcoming months, the Company intends to raise additional working capital through a private offering and other capital sources. We further expect to have growth in revenues through new contracts in the upcoming periods that may provide net gross profits. All such actions and funds, if successful, 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.

 

The unaudited condensed 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.ACCRUED EXPENSES

 

The major components of accrued expenses are summarized as follows:

 

   March 31, 2014  December 31, 2013 
Accrued vacation  $109,407   $100,304 
Accrued salary   68,749    68,749 
Accrued interest   84,440    201,688 
Accrued estimated losses on contracts   76,922    96,096 
Accrued settlement   74,009    101,839 
Other accrued expense   23,546    34,624 
Total accrued expenses  $437,073   $603,300 

 

4.CONVERTIBLE NOTE PAYABLE - RELATED PARTY

 

Prior to fiscal 2011, the Company was advanced monies by John Evey, our director, and executed a 10% convertible promissory note which was convertible into shares of common stock at $0.33 per share. There was no beneficial conversion feature at the note date and this note is subordinate to the Gemini Master Funds notes. Through a series of extensions, the convertible note matured on December 31, 2012.

 

Effective December 31, 2012, the Company entered into an additional extension agreement to extend the maturity date of this note to December 31, 2013. The conversion price for this note was reduced to $0.20 per share of common stock. There were no additional fees or discounts associated with this extension. Per generally accepted accounting principles, this modification was treated as a debt extinguishment, but as the market price of the Company’s stock was below the conversion price at the time of the modification, there was no beneficial conversion feature that needed to be recorded.

 

Effective December 31, 2013, the Company entered into a further extension agreement to extend the maturity date of this note to December 31, 2014. There were no additional fees or discounts associated with this extension. Per generally accepted accounting principles, this modification was treated as an extinguishment, but as the market price of the Company’s stock was below the conversion price at the time of the modification, there was no beneficial conversion feature that needed to be recorded. The note continues to bear interest at a rate of 10%. The balance of the note as of December 31, 2013 was $110,616.

 

After principal payments totaling $3,000 during the three month period ended March 31, 2014, the balance of the note as of March 31, 2014 is $107,616 with accrued interest amounting to $15,346. The note continues to bear interest at a rate of 10%. (See note 10)

Pegasus Note

 

On December 19, 2009, the Company entered into a convertible promissory note for $100,000 to a new landlord in lieu of the first year’s rent for office space. The interest is 10% per annum with the note principal and interest originally due December 18, 2010. However, if the Company receives greater than $1,000,000 of proceeds from debt or equity financing, 25% of the amount in excess of $1,000,000 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. The Company entered into a series of amendments extending the maturity date of the note to December 31, 2012 and waiving the requirement that 25% of the amount of any financing in excess of $1,000,000 be used to pay down the note balance.

 

Effective December 31, 2012, the Company entered into an additional modification extending the term of the note to December 31, 2013, and waiving, through December 31, 2012, the requirement to pay down the note with financing proceeds received by the Company in the period. Per generally accepted accounting principles, this modification was treated as a debt extinguishment, but as the market price of the Company’s stock was below the conversion price at the time of the modification, there was no beneficial conversion feature that needed to be recorded. No proceeds of a financing have been used to pay down the note balance.

 

Effective December 31, 2013, the Company entered into an additional modification extending the term of the note to June 30, 2014, and waiving, through December 31, 2013, the requirement to pay down the note with financing proceeds received by the Company in the period. Per generally accepted accounting principles, this modification was treated as a debt extinguishment, but as the market price of the Company’s stock was below the conversion price at the time of the modification, there was no beneficial conversion feature that needed to be recorded. The balance of the note as of March 31, 2014 is $100,000 with accrued and unpaid interest amounting to $42,822.

Gemini Third Amended and Restated Secured Bridge Note

 

At the end of 2010, the Company had a series of outstanding convertible notes to Gemini Master Fund, Ltd. which were due December 31, 2011. These notes bore interest at a rate of 12% per annum and, with the exception of one note, had a conversion feature whereby, the lender, at its option, may at any time convert this loan into common stock at $0.25 per share. Interest under these notes is due on the first business day of each calendar quarter, however, upon three days advance notice, the Company may elect to add such interest to the note principal balance effectively making the interest due at note maturity. With regard to the conversion feature of these notes, the conversion rights contain price protection whereby if the Company sold equity or converted existing instruments to common stock at a price less than the effective conversion price, the conversion price will be adjusted downward to the sale price. Furthermore, if the Company issues new rights, warrants, options or other common stock equivalents at an exercise price that is less than the stated conversion price, then the conversion price shall be adjusted downward to a new price based on a stipulated formula. The holder may not convert the debt if it results in the holder beneficially holding more than 4.9% of the Company’s common stock. The note is secured by substantially all assets of the Company and its subsidiary, and is unconditionally guaranteed by the subsidiary.

 

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 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 December 31, 2011, the Company entered into an extension and amendment agreement modifying certain terms of all of the notes so that the terms for all the notes became equivalent. The interest rate was reduced to 10%; the conversion price was reduced from $0.25 to $0.20; and the term was extended to December 31, 2012.

 

On December 31, 2012, the Company entered into a further extension and amendment agreement pursuant to which the term of the notes was extended to December 31, 2013. As a part of this amendment, the Company agreed to cause Robert Noble, its chairman, to execute a lock-up agreement pursuant to which Mr. Noble agreed not to sell or transfer any shares of Envision common stock until a defined restriction period expires. Mr. Noble delivered such lock-up agreement. No other terms were modified, but the Company paid a $5,000 fee to cover legal and document fees which was capitalized as an asset on the balance sheet as “Debt issue costs” and was amortized over the term of the note. This change was accounted for as a debt modification but not as a debt extinguishment because the embedded conversion feature is bifurcated and treated as a derivative. As a result of this transaction, the Company had recorded $456,073 of embedded conversion option based effective interest, based on the increase in the fair value of the embedded conversion option due to the modification, which was recorded as debt discount and was amortized over the term of the loan. Further, at the modification date, a $20,000 accounts payable balance was converted into the note balance and $130,383 of accrued interest was added to the loan balance.

 

In January 2013, in conjunction with receiving funds from the Company’s private offering, and due to the price protection provisions of the notes as discussed above, the conversion price of the notes was reduced to $0.15 per share.

As of February 28, 2014 the Company entered into a fourth extension and amendment agreement with a simultaneous principal conversion agreement related to these convertible notes payable. With this agreement, all outstanding notes have been merged into one note, the term of the note was extended to June 30, 2015 and the beneficial holder ceiling was increased to 9.9%. No other terms of the notes were modified. These changes were accounted for as a debt modification but not as a debt extinguishment because the embedded conversion feature is bifurcated and treated as a derivative and no other debt extinguishment criteria were met. As a result of this transaction, the Company recorded $478,561 of embedded conversion option based effective interest based on the increase in the fair value of the embedded conversion option due to the modification which is recorded as debt discount and will be amortized over the remaining term of the loan. The Company further issued 1,500,000 common stock purchase warrants valued at $193,625 using the Black-Scholes valuation methodology, each with a three year term and $0.20 strike price, to the holder which will be recorded as debt discount and amortized over the remaining term of the note. The Company agreed to pay a $6,500 fee to cover legal and document fees which is capitalized as an asset on the balance sheet as “Debt issue costs” and will be amortized over the remaining term of the note. Simultaneously, Gemini converted $550,000 of principal convertible debt and additional 2014 interest on such principal debt into 3,727,778 shares of common stock of the Company at the contracted conversion price of $0.15 per share. The conversion will be recorded to equity with no gain or loss on such conversion related to the principal portion and the Company recorded a loss of $1,222 related to the conversion of accrued interest. As an inducement to Gemini to convert the principal debt amount, the Company issued 3,727,778 common stock purchase warrants, each with a strike price of $0.20 and a three year term. These warrants are valued at $482,300 using the Black-Scholes valuation methodology and were expensed at the date of the transaction. Further, the Company issued 973,298 shares of common stock in settlement of the 2013 accrued interest on the Gemini notes. The Company recorded a $19,467 loss on conversion related to this piece of the transaction. (See Note 8)

 

At March 31, 2014, the note had a total balance of $856,325, a net balance of $226,151, and accrued interest of $21,048.

 

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 input 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 March 31, 2014:

 

   Carrying Value at   Fair value Measurements at March 31, 2014 
   March 31, 2014   (Level 1)   (Level 2)   (Level 3) 
                     
Embedded Conversion Option Liability  $524,427   $   $   $524,427

The following is a summary of activity of Level 3 liabilities for the period ended March 31, 2014:

 

Balance December 31, 2013  $281,265 
Additional liability recorded   478,561 
Change in Fair Value   (235,399)
Balance March 31, 2014  $524,427 

 

Changes in fair value of the embedded conversion option liability are included in other income (expense) in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

The Company estimates the fair value of the embedded conversion option 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 March 31, 2014:

 

Assumptions   
Expected term  1.25
Expected Volatility  137.57%
Risk free rate  0.66%
Dividend Yield  0.00%

 

There were no changes in the valuation techniques during the three month period ended March 31, 2014. The Company did however compute the valuation of this derivative liability using the binomial lattice model noting no material differences in valuation results.

 

6.NOTES PAYABLE

 

The Company has an outstanding Promissory Note with one of its vendors that was entered into in exchange for the vendor cancelling its open invoices to the Company. The original loan amount was for $160,633 and bears interest at 10%. The note can be converted only at the option of the Company, at any time, into common stock with an original conversion price of $0.33 per share. Partial conversions of the note occurred in 2011 and 2012, and further, through a series of amendments, the note, plus the accrued interest became due and payable on December 31, 2012. No other terms of the note were changed.

 

Effective as of December 31, 2012, the Company entered into an amendment to this note extending the maturity date of the note to December 31, 2013 as well as reducing the conversion price of the note to $0.20 per share of common stock and amending the balance of the note, including accrued interest of $2,005 through December 31, 2012 and a modification fee of $15,464, to $97,000. This modification was treated as a debt extinguishment and the Company recorded a loss on the debt extinguishment of $15,464 related to this amendment.

 

During 2013, the Company made partial conversions of this note into 150,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The shares were valued at their quoted trade prices aggregating to $28,500. The Company recorded payments of interest of $6,033, a reduction of principal of $23,967, and a gain on settlement of debt of $1,500 related to these transactions. Further, effective as of December 31, 2013, the Company entered into an amendment to this note extending the maturity date of the note to December 31, 2014. There was no accounting effect for this extension.

 

As of March 31, 2014, the note had a remaining balance due of $73,033 with accrued and unpaid interest amounting to $4,864.

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 Envision Solar International, Inc. (hereinafter, with its subsidiary, “Envision,” “Company,” “us,” “we” or “our”), 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.

 

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)inability of the Company to pay its liabilities;

 

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

 

(k)insufficient revenues to cover operating costs, resulting in persistent losses; and

 

(l)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.

OVERVIEW:

 

Company History

 

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 CA 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. 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 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 consolidated 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.

 

Overview

 

Envision is a developer of solar products and proprietary technology solutions targeting three verticals: electric vehicle charging infrastructure; out of home advertising infrastructure; and renewable energy production and disaster preparedness. The Company focuses on creating renewably energized platforms for EV charging and media and branding which are attractive, rapidly deployed, and of the highest quality. Management believes that the Company's chief differentiator is its ability to design and engineer architecturally accretive solar products which are a complex integration of simple, commonly available engineered components. The resulting products are built to have the longest life expectancy in the industry while also delivering a highly appealing architectural enhancement to our customer’s locations. Management believes that Envision's products deliver multiple layers of value such as media, branding, and advertising platforms, architectural enhancement of the parking lot, reduction of heat islanding and improved parking experiences through shading, high visibility "green halo" branding, reduction of net operating costs through reduced utility bills and the creation of an iconic luxury landmark where simple parking previously existed.

 

Products and Technologies

 

The Company's Solar Tree® structure has been in deployment and continued improvement for over six years. During the last few years, the Solar Tree® structure was redesigned from the ground up to try to incorporate what management felt was the best attributes of previous designs. We believe the resulting product has become the standard of quality in solar shaded parking and while there are an increasing number of competitors in the space, we believe there is no competing product which includes all of the important attributes of the Solar Tree® structure. We understand it to be the only single column, bio mimicked, tracking, and architectural solar support structure designed specifically for parking lots.

The Company has designed and incorporated EnvisionTrak™, its proprietary and patented tracking solution, to the Solar Tree® structure, furthering the unique nature of the product and we believe increasing the Company's technological leadership within the industry. We believe EnvisionTrak™ is a complex integration of the highest quality gearing, electrical motors and controls which are combined in a robust, highly engineered and supremely reliable manner. While there are many tracking solutions available to the solar industry, we believe EnvsionTrak™ is the only tracking solution which causes the solar array to orient itself in alignment with the sun without swinging, rotating or leaving its lineal alignment with the parking spaces below. We believe this is a vital attribute in solar shaded parking as any swinging or rotating of the arrays could result in impeding the flow of traffic, particularly first responders such as fire trucks, in the drive aisles. It is a violation of many local codes to have restricted overhead clearance in the drive aisles. EnvisionTrak™ has been demonstrated to increase electrical production, but perhaps a greater value is the high visual appeal created by Solar Tree® structures which are tracking the sun in perfect synchronicity.

 

The Solar Tree® structure’s canopy measures 35'X35' and covers between six and eight parking spaces. Envision has also developed a single parking space version of the product that leverages the same technology, components, and architectural qualities, but is one tenth the size and less expensive. The Solar Tree® Socket is designed for tight locations and offers customer budget flexibility. It has been produced by the Company to broaden the addressable market for its technology.

 

Envision continues to identify other complimentary product offerings and enhancements to current offerings, and is in the design phase on certain such products.

 

Leveraging the structural and technological attributes of its existing products, the Company has developed a product called EV ARC™. We believe EV ARC™ (Electric Vehicle Autonomous Renewable Charger) could solve many of the problems associated with electric vehicle charging infrastructure deployments and is a product with a potentially large addressable market. Until now, the deployment of EV chargers has been hindered by complications in the site acquisition process caused by the complicated and invasive processes required to fulfill the installation. Each EV charger requires a pedestal which is mounted to a poured concrete foundation which first requires excavation. Chargers also require a trench run to deliver grid connected electricity, and often require transformers and other local electrical equipment upgrades. Additional entitlements, easements, leases and other site acquisition requirements will slow, or prevent entirely, the deployment of large numbers of chargers. When an EV charger is deployed successfully, the host may be liable for increased kilowatt hour charges and at times, more expensive demand charges. Landlords often do not perceive enough value creation in the deployment of an EV charger, and as such, may not be inclined to grant permission to the service providers who approach them.

 

We believe EV ARC™ changes this paradigm completely because it is entirely self-contained and can be delivered to the site ready to operate. Its ballasted pad contains battery storage and creates a structurally sound platform which will support the rest of the structure. The solar array structure is similar to our Socket™ product, and through our EnvisionTrak™ tracking solution, is column mounted to the ballasted pad. There is an electrical cabinet which is attractively integrated into the unit and in which various components enable the conversion of sunlight to electricity which is stored in batteries, and the delivery of that electricity to the EV charging station. Incorporating battery storage means that EV ARC™ can charge day or night. EV ARC™ delivers a clean source of power to any model of EV charger that is integrated into the structure. Envision Solar continues to maintain a vendor agnostic stance in regards to EV charging, and as such, EV ARC™ is designed to accept whichever EV charger the end customer chooses. The EV ARC™ can be set up to charge a single EV or multiple electric scooters or smaller electric vehicles. In this early stage of the production evolution for the EV ARC™ and low volumes, the Company believes the appropriate selling price point is lower than the actual initial costs of production. Management believes that certain production elements will mature allowing for gross profit on future sales possibly later in 2014. These elements include possible production economies of scale, lower costs of components including the cost of battery storage which is currently a significant cost contributor, as well as design changes to allow for improved production processes and transportation.

 

19
 

 

We strive to produce products integrating only the highest quality components available. The Company's production philosophy is to invest in quality design, components, and integration so as to ensure the lowest costs of warranty and service in the industry, while maintaining and growing a brand which we believe is already recognized as one of the leading producers of the highest quality solar products available.

 

The Company produces a series of products which management believes offer multiple layers of value to its customers leveraging the same underlying technology and fabrication techniques and infrastructure. This enables the Company to reach a broad customer base with varied product offerings without maintaining the overhead normally associated with a diverse set of products.

 

The Company’s current list of products include:

 

1.The Solar Tree® Standard structure, a thirty five foot square solar array mounted on a single column,
2.The Solar Tree® HVBA (High Value Branding Asset) structure which includes customized branding, finishes and signage,
3.The Solar Tree® SMA (Sustainable Media Asset) structure, which includes static and digital advertising displays,
 4.The Solar Tree® DCFC (DC Fast Charge) structure which allows for rapidly deployed, grid independent DC fast charging (or Level II) which is entirely renewably energized.
5.The Solar Tree® HVLC (High Value Low Cost) structure, a lower cost version of the standard Solar Tree® structure,
6.The Solar Tree® Socket structure, a single space version of the Solar Tree® structure,
7.The patent pending EV ARC™ (Electric Vehicle Autonomous Renewable Charger).

 

All Envision products can be upgraded with the addition of:

 

1.EnvisionTrak™ sun tracking technology (patented),
2.SunCharge™ solar powered EV charging,
3.ARC™ technology energy storage,
4.LED lighting,
5.Media and Branding Screens.

 

Envision leverages a combination of in-house and outsourced resources to create its products. We believe that the Company has significant operating leverage through the deliberate separation of intellectual property creation (in-house) and the actual deployment of the Company's products (outsourced). All intellectual property is developed in-house by the Company's design team. Product designs are then vetted by third-party structural and electrical engineering firms to ensure that the designs meet the jurisdictional requirements and codifications for the deployment locations. We believe this further helps dissipate any potential liabilities for the structural and electrical elements in providing additional insured professional parties with partial responsibility for the designs. Architectural, structural, and electrical design elements are combined into shop and deployment documents that can be exported to a vetted, qualified stable of fabrication and deployment resources.

 

It is the Company’s intention to explore the idea of creating a limited fabrication facility in the future in which the structural components of its mainstay products can be optimized and fabricated. We believe an in-house fabrication facility may enable the Company to reduce direct costs associated with individual products with the right scale. We believe the facility may further enable the Company to make improvements to existing products and also to introduce new products in a much more timely and efficient manner. Management believes that the product development process could be significantly faster and less expensive when carried out by an in-house fabrication facility. The standardized and broadly repurposed components which comprise the Company’s product set do not require an expensive fabrication facility. In fact, the line required can be narrow, limited and highly efficient, thus not requiring significant investment or human resources. The Company intends to continue to outsource installation and deployment of its products, and as further improvements and standards are attained, it is management’s belief the Company can continue to reduce (a) the amount of installation resources required in the field and (b) the Company’s need to supervise those resources.

 

20
 

 

Management believes that the continuation of the Company’s strategy to create highly engineered, highly scalable products which are delivered as a kit of parts to the customer site, and which require minimal field labor activities, is further positioning the Company as a provider of products which are complex but can be standardized and easily deployable and which could reduce the exposure of the Company to the risks and inherent margin erosion that are incumbent in field deployments. The Company intends to continue to work with its existing fabrication partners and also qualify new resources so that spikes in product demand can be buffered through the use of multiple outsourced resources when required. We believe the growth which the Company anticipates in the future is attainable through this highly scalable model. The products are standardized, scalable and highly repeatable. The documentation and deployment processes that the Company is creating are highly detailed and explanatory, thus enabling a growing pool of qualified sub-contracted resources to fabricate and deploy the products without being dilutive to quality. The Company places high emphasis on qualifying and vetting sub-contracted resources because of the significant portion of the Company's shareholder value attributable to brand value.

 

The Company continues to bring engineering and design improvements to its products that are designed to increase the level of standardization and reduce the field labor and effort required for product deployment. Wherever possible, the components of the Solar Tree® structures are factory integrated and assembled such that complete assemblies are delivered to the sites with a regularly decreasing level of field installation activity required. This allows the Company to reduce risks associated with field work such as weather, labor deficiencies, and accidents. Our strategy also enables us to control future labor costs through mass production in a factory environment and the avoidance of prevailing wage, union, or other labor related conditions that are outside of the Company's control on deployment sites. This improvement in products, standardization, and modularization has enabled the Company to significantly reduce field deployment timeframes.

 

Envision's proprietary technology is described and covered through various patented and patent-pending intellectual properties. Management believes innovation and the ability to create multiple layers of value beyond competing with utility-produced electricity are key differentiators for the Company.

 

Services

 

The Company manages and controls the entire turn-key deployment of its products and supervises any field activities performed by qualified subcontracted vendors. Increasingly, the Company's involvement in the deployments can be performed from its office locations. Design, engineering, entitlement, and program management are all conducted mostly in the office while installation management is performed in the field to ensure that the highest standards and efficiencies are being met throughout the deployment. Nevertheless, as the products become more standardized and systematized and as they require less field activities to perform the deployments, so too does the level of Company supervision decrease, and the existing construction management skill sets resident at the Company can be leveraged over an increasing volume of deployments.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

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 condensed consolidated financial statements include the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, valuation of inventory, depreciable lives of property and equipment, estimates of costs to complete and earnings on uncompleted contracts, estimates of loss contingencies, valuation of derivatives, valuation of beneficial conversion features in convertible debt, valuation of share-based payments, and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

 

21
 

 

Revenue and Cost Recognition. Revenues are primarily derived from the direct sales of products in addition to construction projects for the construction and installation of integrated solutions and proprietary products. Revenues may also consist of design fees for the design of solar systems and arrays, and revenues from sales of professional services.

 

Revenues from design services and professional services are recognized as earned.

 

Revenues from inventoried product sales will be recognized upon the final delivery of such product to the customer. Any deposits received from a customer prior to such delivery are accounted for as deferred revenue on the balance sheet.

 

Revenues and related costs on construction projects are recognized using the “percentage of completion method” of accounting in accordance with ASC 605-35, “Construction-Type and 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 and are charged to the periods as incurred. All unallocable indirect costs and corporate general and administrative costs are also charged to the periods as incurred. Any recognized revenues that have not been billed to a customer are recorded as an asset in “costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts.” Any billings of customers in excess of recognized revenues are recorded as a liability in “Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts.” However, in the event a loss on a contract is foreseen, the Company will recognize the loss when such loss is determined.

 

For contracts that do not qualify for use of the percentage of 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 when such loss is determined. 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 may have contracts in various stages of completion. Such contracts require estimates to determine the appropriate cost and revenue recognition. At the end of a reporting period, project managers detail out all remaining known costs to complete a project including the estimated labor hours, by labor type. Factors such as complexity of the project environment, history of the working relationship of the client, weather, availability of resources, and past experience of the manager are all some of the factors considered in determining such estimate. These estimates to complete are reviewed on a contract-by-contract basis throughout the life of the contract such that adjustments to the profit resulting from revisions to estimates are made cumulative to the date of the revision. These significant management judgments must be made and used in connection with the revenue recognized in the accounting period. Future 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 generally provides a standard one year warranty on its products for materials and workmanship but will pass on the warranties from its vendors, if any, which generally cover at least such period. As the Company expands its product offerings, it will offer expanded warranties on certain components. In accordance with ASC 450-20-25, the Company accrues for product warranties when the loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated.  At March 31, 2014, the Company has no product warranty accrual given its lack of historical warranty experience.

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. Equity instruments granted to non-employees are accounted for under ASC 505-50 “Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees.”

 

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 as necessary, 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. Further, amounts recorded as long term notes payable, net of discount, also approximate fair value because current interest rates for debt that are available to us with similar terms and maturities are substantially the same.

 

Inventory. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or fair market value and consist of certain purchased or manufactured components of our overall product offering. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method, and includes material and labor costs. If the Company determines that the carrying value of an item may not be realizable, an impairment reserve is recorded to adjust such items to their fair value.

 

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.

 

Changes in Accounting Principles. No significant changes in accounting principles were adopted during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

 

Results of Operations

 

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2013

 

Revenue. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, our revenues were $202,659 compared to $155,528 for the same period in 2013. In the three month period ended March 31, 2014, revenues were derived from two active projects entailing the installation of our Solar Tree® arrays while there was one active project in the 2013 period. Additionally, at March 31, 2014, the Company had contracted backlog of $662,137 including a contracted order for two more EV ARC units. Further, management believes that its sales efforts, which have historically included long sales cycles, are showing positive results in the market as, since March 31, 2014 the Company has secured or is awaiting final contract signature on an additional $380,000 of orders.

 

23
 

 

Gross Loss.  For the three months ended March 31, 2014, we had a gross loss of $16,706 compared to a gross loss of $40,218 for the same period in 2013. In 2014, the gross loss related primarily to certain manufacturing tooling costs which may be utilized in future production runs. Certain losses associated with the direct projects worked on in the quarter were recorded in the previous quarter. In 2013, the gross loss related primarily to the then new Cadillac branded Solar Tree® array which was deployed for the first time.

 

Operating Expenses.  Total operating expenses were $650,505 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to $512,900 for the same period in 2013, an overall increase of $137,605. A large portion of this increase resulted from the non cash stock based compensation expenses which increased to $207,654 in 2014 from $114,080 during the same period in 2013. Included in such amounts are the Company’s stock option expense which increased by approximately $30,000 in the 2014 period, and the payment, using the Company’s common stock, of director fees amounting to approximately $35,000 which did not occur in 2013. Additionally, other increases in operating expenses for the period ended March 31, 2014 as compared to March 31, 2013 include research and development costs which increased by approximately $20,000 in 2014 and consulting expenses which increased by $38,000 in 2014 and which mainly related to increased investor relations expenses.

 

Interest Expense. Interest expense was $564,802 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to $160,705 for the same period in 2013. The increase was primarily derived from the expensing of stock purchase warrants to interest expense valued at $482,300 issued as an inducement to convert principal owed on certain convertible debt to shares of the Company’s common stock in the period ended March 31, 2014. Amortization of debt discount decreased from $114,018 in the period ended March 31, 2013 to $42,011 in the same period in 2014.

 

Change in Fair Value of Embedded Conversion Option Liability. We recorded a gain of $235,399 during the three month period ended March 31, 2014 compared to a loss of $444,961 during the same period in 2013. These amounts were the result of adjusting the fair value of our derivative liabilities to market.

 

Net Loss.  We had a net loss of $1,017,230 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to net loss of $1,045,767 for the same period in 2013. All significant elements deriving these losses have been discussed above.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

At March 31, 2014, we had cash of $827,515. 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 $458,583 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to cash used by operations of $304,354 for the same period in 2013. The principal elements of cash flow from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 included a net loss of $1,017,230 offset by depreciation expense of $11,025, and other net noncash items amounting to $517,661. Further, accounts receivable decreased by $166,334 as a result of monies collected on earlier billings; prepaid expenses decreased by $15,338 related primarily to insurance premium amortization; inventory increased by $80,106 for work in process items; costs an estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts increased by $39,529 for work completed prior to billing milestones; accounts payable increased by $144,834; and billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts decreased by $163,129 related to costs incurred on projects that were previously billed for but not incurred.

 

Cash received from our financing activities was $894,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to cash received of $1,693,137 in the same period in 2013.  This cash received from financing activities is primarily net monies invested into the Company through private financings that were open in the periods.

 

24
 

 

As of March 31, 2014, current liabilities exceeded current assets by $1,124,187. Current assets increased to $984,708 at March 31, 2014 from $629,284 at December 31, 2013, while current liabilities decreased to $2,108,895 at March 31, 2014 from $3,233,430 at December 31, 2013. Net accounts receivable decreased from $179,459 at December 31, 2013 to $13,125 at March 31, 2014, while accounts payable increased from $458,933 to $603,767 in the same periods, respectively, due to the timing of project milestones, billings, and payments. Accrued expenses decreased from $603,300 at December 31, 2013 to $437,073 at March 31, 2014 primarily as a result of the conversion of certain interest into common stock of the Company. Convertible Notes Payable decreased to $326,151 at March 31, 2014 from $1,506,326 due to the net recording of $630,174 of debt discount as of March 31, 2014 but also because of the conversion of $550,000 of such convertible debt into common stock of the Company. Further, the embedded conversion option liability increased from $281,265 at December 31, 2013 to $524,427 at March 31, 2014 as a function of the market valuation of our publically traded stock between these two dates resulting in increased premiums to be recognized in possible future conversions of this convertible debt.

 

Management believes that evolution in the operations of the Company may allow it to execute on its strategic plan and enable it to experience profitable growth in the future. This evolution is anticipated to include the following continual steps: addition of sales personnel and independent sales channels, continued management of overhead costs, process improvements, systemization of its products leading to decreased field deployment measures, increased public awareness of the Company and its products, the addition of products with lower entry prices or higher revenue potential, improvements in the capital markets and the maturation of certain long sales cycle opportunities. Management believes that these changes may enable the Company to generate sufficient revenue and raise additional growth capital to allow the Company to manage its debt burden appropriately and continue the Company's growth. There 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 is also in the process of seeking additional capital and long term debt financing to attempt to overcome its working capital deficit. The Company is currently seeking private financing, but there is no assurance that the Company can raise sufficient capital or obtain sufficient financing to enable it to sustain monthly operations. The Company will attempt to renegotiate the maturity dates of its current debt financings, but there is no assurance that these efforts will be successful. In order to address its working capital deficit, the Company is also seeking 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.

 

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, 2013. In addition, the Company has limited working capital. 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. Further, the Company continues to seek out and sign contracts for new projects and product sales that should provide additional revenues and gross profits. 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 are material to investors.

Item 4.         Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure 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.

 

During the period covered by this filing, we conducted a continued 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 March 31, 2014, the disclosure controls and procedures of our Company were not effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports was recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis.

 

The Company will continue to improve its internal control over financial reporting and improve its disclosure controls and procedures as it is able to add administrative support staff and overcome the financial constraints of the Company as to be able to invest in these areas.  As of December 31, 2013, we had identified the following material weaknesses which still exist as of March 31, 2014 and through the date of this report:

  

·We did not maintain effective controls over the control environment. 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-K. 
·Because of the size of the Company’s administrative staff, controls related to the segregation of certain duties have not been implemented.
·Controls and procedures designed to ensure the effective communication to management of all information required to be disclosed in it’s reports have not been implemented or adhered to.
·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.
