1. | NATURE OF OPERATIONS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Nature of Operations
Envision Solar International, a Nevada corporation, invents, designs, and manufactures solar powered products and proprietary technology solutions targeting three verticals: electric vehicle charging infrastructure, out of home advertising infrastructure, and energy security and disaster preparedness. The Company focuses on creating renewably energized platforms for electric vehicle (“EV”) charging, media and branding, and energy security which management believes are attractive, rapidly deployed, and of the highest quality. Management believes that the Company’s chief differentiator is its ability to invent, design, engineer, and manufacture solar products which are a complex integration of our own proprietary technology and other commonly available engineered components. The resulting products are built to have the longest life expectancy in the industry while also delivering valuable amenities and potentially highly attractive revenue opportunities for our customers. Management believes that Envision’s products deliver multiple layers of value such as: environmental impact free renewably energized EV charging; media, branding, and advertising platforms; sustainable and secure energy production; architectural enhancement; reduced carbon footprint; high visibility "green halo" branding; reduction of net operating costs through reduced utility bills; and revenue creation opportunities through the sales of digital out of home (“DOOH”) media.
Basis of Presentation
The interim unaudited condensed 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) necessary to present fairly our results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, and our financial position as of March 31, 2019, 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 financial statements have been condensed or omitted from these interim financial statements. Accordingly, these interim unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2018. The December 31, 2018 balance sheet is derived from those statements.
Reverse Stock Split
The Company completed a 1 for 50 reverse split of our common stock in April 2019, and all share and per share data in the accompanying unaudited financial statements and footnotes for all periods presented have been retroactively adjusted for this reverse stock split (See Note 15).
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 financial statements include the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, valuation of inventory and standard cost allocations, depreciable lives of property and equipment, estimates of loss contingencies, estimates of the valuation of initial right of use assets and corresponding lease liabilities, 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 banks 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, 2019. As of March 31, 2019, there were no amounts greater than the federally insured limits.
Concentration of Accounts Receivable
As of March 31, 2019, there was a single customer that represented over 99% of the Company’s net accounts receivable balance.
As of December 31, 2018, that same customer represented 82% of the Company’s net accounts receivable balance.
Concentration of Revenues
For the three months ended March 31, 2019, we had one customer that represented more than 99% of our net revenues.
For the three months ended March 31, 2018, customers that each represented more than 10% of our net revenues were as follows:
Customer A | 69% |
Customer B | 15% |
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For the purposes of the unaudited condensed 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, 2019 and December 31, 2018 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, 2019, the carrying amounts of these instruments approximated their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms. Management reviews accounts receivable on a periodic basis to determine if any receivables may become uncollectible. Management’s evaluation includes several factors including the aging of the accounts receivable balances, a review of significant past due accounts, dialogue with the customer, the financial profile of a customer, our historical write-off experience, net of recoveries, and economic conditions. The Company includes any accounts receivable balances that are determined to be uncollectible in its overall allowance for doubtful accounts. Further, the Company may record a general reserve in its allowance for doubtful accounts to account for future changes that may negatively impact our overall collections. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance.

Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method of accounting. Inventory costs primarily relate to purchased raw materials and components used in the manufacturing of our products, work in process for products being manufactured, and finished goods. Included in these costs are direct labor and certain manufacturing overhead costs associated with the manufacturing process. The Company regularly reviews inventory components and quantities on hand, and performs annual physical inventory counts. A reserve is established if this review process determines the net realizable value of such inventory may be below the carrying value.
Patents
The company believes it will achieve future economic value benefits for its various patents and patent ideas. All administrative costs for obtaining patents are accumulated on the balance sheet as a Patent asset until such time as a patent is issued. The costs of these intangible assets are classified as a long term asset and amortized on a straight line basis over the legal life of such asset, which is typically 20 years. In the event a patent is denied or abandoned, all accumulated administrative costs will be expensed in the period in which the patent was denied or abandoned. Patent amortization expense was $783 and $140 in the three-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Leases
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02: “Leases (Topic 842)” whereby lessees need to recognize almost all leases on their balance sheet as a right of use asset and a corresponding lease liability. The Company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2019 using the effective date method and applying the package of practical expedients to leases that commenced before the effective date whereby the Company elected not to reassess the following: (i) whether any expired or existing contracts contain leases, and (ii) initial direct costs for any existing leases. For contracts entered into after the effective date, at the inception of a contract the Company will assess whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. The Company’s assessment will be based on: (1) whether the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, (2) whether we obtain the right to substantially all the economic benefit from the use of the asset throughout the period, and (3) whether it has the right to direct the use of the asset. The Company will allocate the consideration in the contract to each lease component based on its relative stand-alone price to determine the lease payments. The Company has elected to not recognize right of use assets and lease liabilities for short term leases that have a term of 12 months or less.
Revenue Recognition
On January 1, 2018, Envision adopted the revenue standards of Financial Accounting Standards Board Update No. 2014-09: “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” The core principle of this Topic is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Revenue is recognized in accordance with that core principle by applying the following five steps: 1) identify the contracts with a customer; 2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; 3) determine the transaction price; 4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations; and 5) recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy a performance obligation.
Revenues are primarily derived from the direct sales of manufactured products. Revenues may also consist of maintenance fees for the maintenance of previously sold products, and revenues from sales of professional services.
Revenues from inventoried product sales are recognized upon the final delivery of such product to the customer or when legal transfer of ownership takes place. Revenue values are fixed price arrangements determined at the time an order is placed or a contract is entered into. The customer is typically obligated to make payment for such products within a 30-45 day period after delivery.
Revenues from maintenance fees are recognized equally over the period of the maintenance term. Revenue values are fixed price arrangements determined at the time an order is placed or a contract is entered into. The customer is typically obligated to make payment for the service in advance of the maintenance period.
Revenues from professional services are recognized as services are performed. Revenue values are based upon fixed fee arrangements or hourly fee-based arrangements with agreed to hourly rates of service categories in line with expertise requirements. These services are billed to a customer as such services are provided and the customer will be obligated to make payments for such services typically within a 30-45 day period.

(Unaudited)
The Company includes shipping and handling fees billed to customers as revenues, and shipping and handling costs as cost of revenues.
Any deposits received from a customer prior to delivery of the purchased product or monies paid prior to the period for which a service is provided are accounted for as deferred revenue on the balance sheet.
Sales tax is recorded on a net basis and excluded from revenue.
The Company generally provides a standard one year warranty on its products for materials and workmanship but may provide multiple year warranties as negotiated, and will pass on the warranties from its vendors, if any, which generally covers this one year period. In accordance with ASC 450-20-25, the Company accrues for product warranties when the loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated.
Cost of Revenues
The Company records direct material and component costs, direct labor and associated benefits, and manufacturing overhead costs such as supervision, manufacturing equipment depreciation, rent, and utility costs, all of which are included in inventory prior to a sale, as costs of revenues. The Company further includes shipping and handling fees billed to customers as revenues, and shipping and handling costs as cost of revenues.
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 adopted ASU 2018-07 on January 1, 2019 and accounts for non-employee share-based awards in accordance with the measurement and recognition criteria of ASC 718. The Company used the modified prospective method of adoption. There was no cumulative effect of adoption on January 1, 2019.
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. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive.

Convertible notes payable that are convertible into 411,090 common shares, options to purchase 296,412 common shares and warrants to purchase 132,226 common shares were outstanding at March 31, 2019. These shares were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2019 because the effects would have been anti-dilutive. These options and warrants may dilute future earnings per share.
Segments
The Company follows ASC 280-10 for, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." During 2019 and 2018, the Company only operated in one segment; therefore, segment information has not been presented.
2. | LIQUIDITY |
As reflected in the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company had a net loss and net cash used in operating activities of $949,631 and $222,177, respectively.

5. | CONVERTIBLE LINE OF CREDIT |
On September 18, 2017, in addition to a convertible “Lender” note (See Note 7), the Company entered into a revolving secured convertible promissory note (the “Revolver”) with an unaffiliated lender (the “Lender”). Pursuant to the Revolver, the Company has the right to make borrowings from the Lender in amounts of up to 70% of the value of any specific purchase order (each a “PO”) received by the Company from a credit worthy customer (each a “Draw Down”), up to a maximum of $3,000,000, commencing on the date of the Revolver and originally terminating 300 days after the date of the Revolver, but subsequently extended through December 31, 2019. The Revolver bears simple interest at the floating rate per annum equal to the 12 month USD LIBOR index rate quoted from time to time in New York, New York by the Bloomberg Service plus 600 basis points (the “Interest Rate”). The Interest Rate will be adjusted on the first day of each calendar month during the term of this Note to reflect any changes in the 12 month LIBOR rate as quoted on that day, or if that day is not a business day, on the next business day thereafter. The principal and accrued unpaid interest with respect to each Draw Down is due and payable within five (5) business days of receipt from the Customer by the Company of a payment due under the applicable PO (with respect to each Draw Down, the “Maturity Date”). Each Draw Down is secured by a perfected recorded second priority security interest in all of the Company’s assets, as set forth in that certain Security Agreement by and between the Company and the Lender. The Lender will have the right at any time until the Maturity Date of a Draw Down, provided the Lender gives the Company written notice of the Lender’s election to convert prior to any prepayment of such Draw Down by the Company with respect to converting that portion of such Draw Down covered by the prepayment, to convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal and accrued unpaid interest (the “Conversion Amount”), into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company’s common stock as is determined by dividing the Conversion Amount by the greater of (i) seven dollars and 50 cents ($7.50) or (ii) 75% of the Volume Weighted Average Price of the Company’s common stock that is quoted on a public securities trading market (if more than one, the one with the then highest trading volume), during the five (5) consecutive trading days immediately prior to the date of the Lender’s written notice of the Lender’s election to convert.
As additional consideration for any Draw Downs made by the Company as evidenced by the Revolver, the Company agreed to issue to the Lender common stock purchase warrants exercisable for a period of three years from the date of issuance with an exercise price equal to the greater of (i) $7.50 per share or (ii) 75% of the Volume Weighted Average Price of the Company’s common stock that is quoted on a public securities trading market (if more than one, the one with the then highest trading volume), during the five (5) consecutive trading days immediately prior to the date of the applicable Draw Down. The number of warrants issuable to the Lender will equal 25% of the increase over the highest dollar amount previously drawn down by the Company on the Revolver divided by the greater of (i) seven dollars and fifty cents ($7.50) or (ii) 75% of the Volume Weighted Average Price of the Company’s common stock that is quoted on a public securities trading market (if more than one, the one with the then highest trading volume), during the five (5) consecutive trading days immediately prior to the date of the applicable Draw Down which causes the increase over the previous highest amount borrowed.

6. | CONVERTIBLE NOTE PAYABLE - RELATED PARTY |
On October 18, 2016, the Company entered into a five year employment agreement, effective as of January 1, 2016, with Mr. Desmond Wheatley, the Chief Executive Officer, President, and Chairman of the Company (the “Agreement”). Pursuant to the Agreement, Mr. Wheatley will receive an annual deferred salary of $50,000 which Mr. Wheatley would have deferred until such time as Mr. Wheatley and the Board of Directors agreed that payment of the deferred salary and/or cessation of the deferral was appropriate. In certain circumstances upon the Company achieving specified milestones, which are described in the Agreement, Mr. Wheatley could have demanded payment of all or any portion of the deferred amount, and the Company must comply with such demand. In August 2018 this agreement was amended to where his salary shall defer until the earliest to occur of the following: (i) a permissable event specified in Section 409A of the Code, or (ii) December 31, 2020, or (iii) an event specified below in Section 8.1(a) or 8.1(b) of this Agreement. In the case of a cessation of the deferral, the Company’s Board of Directors may unilaterally affect such a result by a resolution duly adopted by it without the agreement or participation of the Employee and with Employee recusing himself from the vote. Employee will be paid all of the deferred amount upon the occurrence of (a) if and when the Company experiences a “change of control” whereby more than 50% of the outstanding equity of the Company changes ownership in a single transaction or series of related transactions, or otherwise as defined in Section 15.6 of the Original Agreement, (b) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, (c) a permissible event specified in Section 409A of the Code, or (d) on December 31, 2020.

All deferred amounts are evidenced by an unsecured convertible promissory note payable by the Company to Mr. Wheatley amended and signed in October 2018, bearing simple interest at the rate of 10% per annum, accruing until paid, convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at $7.50 per share at any time in whole or in part at Mr. Wheatley’s discretion. As the conversion price was equivalent to the fair value of the common stock at various salary deferral dates prior to June 30, 2018, there was no beneficial conversion feature to this note through such date. Subsequent to June 30, 2018 and through December 31, 2018, and based on the average daily closing price of our common stock, the Company recorded $8,672 of debt discount for the beneficial conversion feature value which is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the note. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, and based on the average daily closing price of our common stock, the Company recorded $3,967 of debt discount for the beneficial conversion feature value which is also being amortized to interest expense over the term of the note. Additionally, on March 29, 2017 the board of directors granted Mr. Wheatley a $35,000 bonus for which Mr. Wheatley agreed to defer such bonus under the same terms of his salary deferral. The balance of the note as of March 31, 2019, is $187,017, net of debt discount amounting to $10,483, with accrued and unpaid interest amounting to $32,910 which is included in accrued expenses (See Notes 4 and 14). This note is presented as a long-term liability on the accompanying balance sheets as a result of the August 2018 amendment changing the due date to December 1, 2020.

Pegasus Note
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 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 $16.50 per share and had no beneficial conversion feature at the note date.
Through a series of amendments, the term of the note was extended until December 31, 2016, and waived, through December 31, 2015, the requirement to pay down the note with financing proceeds received by the Company.

Effective June 13, 2018, the Company entered into a further amendment to extend the maturity date of this note to December 31, 2019 and waive the past requirements to pay the note with financing proceeds received by the Company. Additionally, the note holders agreed not to offer for sale, issue, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of any of our common stock or securities convertible into common stock, before December 31, 2019. There were no additional fees or discounts associated with this amendment. This modification was treated as an extinguishment as the change in fair value of the embedded conversion option just before and just after the modification was more than 10% of the carrying amount of the note. The market price of the Company’s stock was below the conversion price at the time of the modification, therefore no beneficial conversion feature needed to be recorded.
As of March 31, 2019, the note had a balance of $100,000 with accrued and unpaid interest amounting to $92,603 which is included in accrued expenses (See Note 4 and 15).
Evey Note
Prior to fiscal 2011, the Company was advanced monies by John Evey, our former director, and executed a 10% convertible promissory note with compounding interest which was convertible into shares of common stock at $16.50 per share. There was no beneficial conversion feature at the note date and this note is subordinate to the then existing notes. Through a series of amendments from the original due date, the conversion price of the convertible note was reduced to $10.00 and the maturity date was extended to December 31, 2017.
Effective June 27, 2018, the Company entered into a further extension agreement to extend the maturity date of this note to July 1, 2019. Additionally, Mr. Evey agreed not to offer for sale, issue, sell, contract to sell, or otherwise dispose of any of our common stock or securities convertible into common stock on or before December 31, 2018 and not to offer for sale, issue, sell, contract to sell, pledge, or otherwise dispose of any of our common stock issuable upon the conversion of the note, on or before July 1, 2019. There were no additional fees or discounts associated with this extension. This modification was treated as an extinguishment as the change in fair value of the embedded conversion option just before and just after the modification was more than 10% of the carrying amount of the note. The Company recorded debt discount amounting to $30,960 for the value of the beneficial conversion feature and is amortizing this to interest expense over the remaining term of the loan.
As of March 31, 2019, this note has a balance, net of $7,740 of discount, amounting to $42,876 with accrued interest amounting to $76,440 which is included in accrued expenses (See Note 4 and 15). The note continues to bear interest at a rate of 10%.

“Lender” Note
On September 18, 2017, in addition to entering into a revolving convertible line of credit (See Note 5), the Company also entered into a $1,500,000 secured convertible promissory note with the same unaffiliated lender (the “Lender”). The Note bears simple interest at the floating rate per annum equal to the 12 month USD LIBOR index rate quoted from time to time in New York, New York by the Bloomberg Service plus 400 basis points (the “Interest Rate”). The Interest Rate will be adjusted on the first day of each calendar month during the term of the Note to reflect any changes in the 12 month LIBOR rate as quoted at on that day, or if that day is not a business day, on the next business day thereafter. Interest will only accrue on outstanding principal. Accrued unpaid interest is payable monthly on the first calendar day of each month for interest accrued during the previous month, with all outstanding principal and accrued unpaid interest originally payable in full on or before September 17, 2018 to the extent not converted into shares of the Company’s common stock. This note was initially amended to be payable in full by December 1, 2018 but the Company did not make the December 1, 2018 principal payment which non payment was a defined event of default. In March 2019, but effective December 1, 2018, the Company entered into second amendment to extend the term of the note to be payable in full by (i) June 30, 2019 or (ii) the closing of the public offering by borrower. This modification was treated as a debt extinguishment as the change in fair value of the embedded conversion option just before and just after the modification was more than 10% of the carrying amount of the note. The Company recorded debt discount amounting to $472,718 for the value of the beneficial conversion feature and is amortizing this to interest expense over the remaining term of the note. Additionally, the Company paid $30,000 of lender fees which were also recorded as debt discount and are also being amortized to interest expense over the term of the note. The Note is secured by a perfected recorded first priority security interest in all of the Company’s assets, as set forth in a certain Security Agreement by and between the Company and the Lender, dated September 18, 2017. At any time until the Maturity Date, and provided Lender gives the Company written notice of Lender’s election to convert prior to any prepayment of this Note by the Company with respect to converting that portion of this Note covered by the prepayment, the Lender has the right to convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal and accrued interest (the “Conversion Amount”), into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company’s common stock as is determined by dividing the Conversion Amount by the greater of (i) seven dollars and fifty cents ($7.50) or (ii) 75% of the Volume Weighted Average Price of the Company’s common stock that is quoted on a public securities trading market (if more than one, the one with the then highest trading volume), during the five (5) consecutive trading days immediately prior to the date of the Lender’s written notice of its election to convert.
As additional consideration for the loan evidenced by the Note, the Company agreed to issue to the Lender common stock purchase warrants exercisable for a period of three years from the date of issuance with an exercise price equal to $7.50 per share. The number of warrants issuable to the Lender is equal to 25% of the loan Amount divided by seven dollars and fifty cents ($7.50). As of September 18, 2017, the Company issued 50,000 common stock purchase warrants under this provision having a fair value of $187,142 using the Black-Scholes valuation methodology, and each with a $7.50 exercise price. As a result of this transaction, the Company recorded $232,767 of debt discount consisting of the relative fair value of the warrants of $166,384 and a beneficial conversion feature of $66,384, which was amortized to interest expense over the original term of the note.
During any time when the Note is outstanding, or when the Lender holds any Company stock, or any warrants to acquire Company stock where the combination of both could result in the Lender owning stock with a current value of one million dollars or greater, in the Company, the Lender will have certain review and consulting rights as described in the Note.
As of March 31, 2019, the convertible note had a balance, net of discount of $215,450, amounting to $1,284,550 with accrued interest amounting to $16,774 which is included in accrued expenses (See Note 4 and 15).

This Note is due and payable on February 28, 2019 (the “Maturity Date”). Effective February 28, 2019, an oral forbearance agreement was granted by lender for any defaults, confirmed in writing, and is meant to be in effect until the Lender and the Company complete an amendment extending the maturity date of the note, or the note is sooner repaid by the Company.

During the year ending December 31, 2018, the Company recorded an increase in the Note Payable balance of $112,500 with offsetting debt discount related to this repayment premium which is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the note. Additionally, the Company paid $5,000 of lender fees which were also recorded as debt discount and are also being amortized to interest expense over the term of the note.
As additional consideration for the loan evidenced by the Note, the Company issued to the Lender 18,000 common stock purchase warrants exercisable for a period of five years from the date of issuance with an exercise price equal to $12.50 per share. These warrants had a fair value of $115,521 using the Black-Sholes valuation methodology.

The loan has a term of 60 months, requires minimum monthly payments of approximately $950, and bears interest at a rate of 5.99 percent. As of March 31, 2019, the loan has a short-term portion of $10,679 and a long-term portion of $6,535.
10. | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES |
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 March 31, 2019, there were no pending or threatened lawsuits that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the results of our operations.
Leases:
In August 2016, the Company entered into a sublease for its current corporate headquarters and manufacturing facility. The sublease expires in August 2020 which is the same term of the master lease for which the Company is the subtenant. Monthly lease payments range from $48,672 per month currently increasing to $50,619 per month for the final year of the lease.
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02: “Leases (Topic 842)” whereby lessees need to recognize almost all leases on their balance sheet as a right of use asset and a corresponding lease liability. The Company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2019 using the effective date method. We calculated the present value of the remaining lease payment stream using our incremental effective borrowing rate of 10%. We initially recorded a right to use asset and corresponding lease liability amounting to $872,897 on January 1, 2019. The right to use asset and the corresponding lease liability are being equally amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the lease. The right to use asset has been further reduced by our deferred rent amounting to $59,901 as of March 31, 2019. As of March 31, 2019, we have a right-of-use asset amounting to $682,062 recorded in Property Plant and Equipment, and corresponding liability in Accrued Expenses amounting to $741,963 related to this lease (See Note 4).

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2019
(Unaudited)
On April 16, 2019, in connection with the Offering, the Common Stock and the Warrants of the Company began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the trading symbols “EVSI” and “EVSIW,” respectively.
In April 2019, pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company issued to the Underwriters warrants (the “Representative’s Warrants”) to purchase up to a total of 300,000 shares of common stock (5% of the shares of common stock sold). The warrants are exercisable at $6.60 per share and have a term of five years. Pursuant to the customary FINRA rules, the representative’s warrants are subject to a 180-day lock-up pursuant to which the representative will not sell, transfer, assign, pledge, or hypothecate these warrants or the securities underlying these warrants, nor will it engage in any hedging, short sale, derivative, put, or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of the warrants or the underlying securities for a period of 180 days from the date of the prospectus relating to the offering.
In addition, pursuant the Underwriting Agreement, the Company granted Maxim a right of first refusal for a period of twelve months from the commencement of sales of the offering, to act as sole and exclusive investment banker, book-runner, financial advisor, underwriter and/or placement agent, at Maxim’s sole and exclusive discretion, for each and every future public and private equity and debt offering.
In April 2019, the Company effected a one-for-fifty reverse split of its issued and outstanding common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”), and reduced the number of authorized shares of common stock from 490,000,000 to 9,800,000. No fractional shares were issued as a result of the reverse stock split. Fractional shares were rounded up or down to the nearest whole share, after aggregating all fractional shares held by a stockholder. Any stockholder holding less than 24 shares of Common Stock on a pre-reverse stock basis were paid in cash for such fractional share of Common Stock which resulted in a buyback of approximately 1,100 shares for $180. All share and per share data in the accompanying unaudited financial statements and footnotes for all periods presented have been retroactively adjusted for this reverse stock split.
Further, subsequent to March 31, 2019, the Company used these funds to pay off the entire balances of all the Convertible Notes Payable, the Convertible Line of Credit, and the Note Payable along with all accrued and unpaid interest totaling approximately $3,945,800 (See Notes 5,7 and 8).
Additionally, we paid a $75,000 extension fee to Gemini Special Opportunities Fund, LP (See Note 8) to extend the maturity date of the note to April 25, 2019.

Overview
Envision invents, designs, engineers, manufactures and sells solar powered products and proprietary technology solutions serving three markets with annual global spending in the billions of dollars and that are experiencing significant growth:
· | electric vehicle charging infrastructure; |
· | out of home advertising platforms; and |
· | energy security and disaster preparedness. |
The Company focuses on creating renewably energized, high-quality products for electric vehicle (“EV”) charging, outdoor media and branding, and energy security that are rapidly deployable and attractively designed.
We currently produce two categories of products: the patented EV ARC™ (Electric Vehicle Autonomous Renewable Charger) and the patented Solar Tree®. We have recently submitted third and fourth product categories, the EV-Standard™ product and the UAV ARC™ drone charging product, for patent approval. They are both patent pending and in late stage product development and engineering. All four product lines incorporate the same underlying technology and value, having a built-in renewable energy source in the form of attached solar panels and/or light wind generator, along with battery storage. The EV ARC™ product is a permanent solution in a transportable format and the Solar Tree® product is a permanent solution in a fixed format. The EV-Standard™ is also fixed, but uses an existing streetlamp’s foundation and grid connection. The UAV ARC™ is a permanent solution in a transportable format and will be used to charge drone (UAV) fleets. Envision’s EV charging solutions for electric vehicles and aerial drones can, or in the case of drone charging currently under development, are expected to, produce, deliver, and store power without the time and expense of having to be connected to the utility grid.
We believe that there is a clear need for a rapidly deployable and highly scalable EV charging infrastructure, and that our products fulfill that requirement. We are agnostic as to the EV charging service equipment (“EVSE”) and integrate best of breed solutions based upon our customer’s requirements. For example, our EV ARC™ and Solar Tree® products have been deployed with Chargepoint, Blink, Juice Box, Bosch, AeroVironment and other high quality EV charging solutions. We can make recommendations to customers or we can comply with their specifications and/or existing charger networks. Our products replace the infrastructure required to support EV chargers, not the chargers themselves. We do not sell EV charging, rather we sell products which enable it.
We believe our chief differentiators are:
· | our ability to invent, design, engineer, and manufacture solar powered products which dramatically reduce the cost, time and complexity of the installation and operation of EV charging infrastructure and outdoor media platforms when compared to traditional, utility grid tied alternatives; | |
· | our products’ capability to operate during grid outages and to provide a source of emergency power rather than becoming inoperable during times of emergency or other grid interruptions; and | |
· | our ability to create new and patentable inventions which are marketable and a complex integration of our own proprietary technology and parts, with other commonly available engineered components, creating a further barrier to entry for our competition. |
22 |
Historically, we have earned revenue primarily from the sale of EV ARCs™ to large private companies, such as Google, Genentech, and Johnson & Johnson, and government agencies such as the City of New York and the State of California. Our contract with the State of California was recently renewed for two more years, with two more one-year options (i.e. a total potential of four years). The scope of the contract was expanded to include more of our products and to have an estimated value by the State of California of over $20 million. On September 10, 2018, the Company received a new $3,300,000 order from the City of New York for 50 EV ARC™ units for delivery through the first half of 2019. The Company’s total contracted backlog as of March 31, 2019 is approximately $3.7M. We have yet to launch our outdoor media advertising service other than signing our agreement with Outfront Media in November 2017, and developing our revenue model in discussions with it. Revenue from this business is expected from potential sponsors and from advertisers willing to pay fees to us or to our media partners to display their brands, messages and advertisements on the surfaces of our products or on outdoor digital or static screens mounted on our EV charging solutions. Our energy security business is connected with the deployment of our EV chargers and serves as an additional benefit to the value proposition of our charging products. Our onboard state-of-the-art storage batteries installed on our EV chargers provide another reason for certain customers such as municipalities, counties, states, the federal government, hospitals, fire departments, large private enterprises with substantial facilities, and vehicle fleet operators, to buy our products.
We currently do not plan to charge separately for the energy storage capability, which is generally standard on all of our products. For an additional fee, we offer extra storage batteries on particular charging stations.
Our current list of products includes:
1. | EV ARC™ Electric Vehicle Autonomous Renewable Charger (patented). | |
2. | Transformer EV ARC™ Stowable Electric Vehicle Autonomous Renewable Charger (patented). | |
3. | EV ARC™ HP DC Fast Charging Electric Vehicle Autonomous Renewable Charger. | |
4. | EV ARC™ Media Electric Vehicle Autonomous Renewable Charger with advertising screen and or branding/messaging. | |
5. | EV ARC™ Autonomous Renewable Motorcycle Charger. | |
6. | EV ARC™ Autonomous Renewable Bicycle Charger. | |
7. | ARC Mobility™ Transportation System. | |
8. | The Solar Tree® (patented) DCFC product, a single-column mounted smart generation and energy storage system with the capability to provide a 50kW DC fast charge to one or more electric vehicles. |
The EV Standard™ and UAV ARC™ are currently in the development and patenting phase of their product evolution.
Our current products can be upgraded with the addition of the following:
1. | EnvisionTrak™ sun tracking technology (patented), | |
2. | Data capture and management (IoT), | |
3. | SunCharge™ solar powered EV charging, | |
4. | ARC™ technology energy storage, | |
5. | E-Power emergency power panels, | |
6. | LED lighting, | |
7. | Media and branding screens, and | |
8. | Security cameras, WiFi, sound, and emergency call boxes. |

Critical Accounting Policies
Please refer to Note 1 in the financial statements for further information on the Company’s critical accounting policies which are summarized as follows:
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 financial statements include the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, valuation of inventory and standard cost allocations, depreciable lives of property and equipment, estimates of loss contingencies, estimates of the valuation of initial right of use assets and corresponding lease liabilities, valuation of beneficial conversion features in convertible debt, valuation of share-based payments, and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.
Accounts Receivable. Accounts receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms. Management reviews accounts receivable on a periodic basis to determine if any receivables may become uncollectible. Management’s evaluation includes several factors including the aging of the accounts receivable balances, a review of significant past due accounts, dialogue with the customer, the financial profile of a customer, our historical write-off experience, net of recoveries, and economic conditions. The Company includes any accounts receivable balances that are determined to be uncollectible in its overall allowance for doubtful accounts. Further, the Company may record a general reserve in its allowance for doubtful accounts to account for future changes that may negatively impact our overall collections. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance.
Inventory. Inventory is stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method of accounting. Inventory costs primarily relate to purchased raw materials and components used in the manufacturing of our products, work in process for products being manufactured, and finished goods. Included in these costs are direct labor and certain manufacturing overhead costs associated with the manufacturing process. The Company regularly reviews inventory components and quantities on hand, and performs annual physical inventory counts. A reserve is established if this review process determines the net realizable value of such inventory may be below the carrying value.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets. The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of ASC 360-10-35-15 “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” This guidance requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.
Revenue and Cost Recognition. On January 1, 2018, Envision adopted the revenue standards of Financial Accounting Standards Board Update No. 2014-09: “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” The core principle of this Topic is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Revenue is recognized in accordance with that core principle by applying the following five steps: 1) identify the contracts with a customer; 2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; 3) determine the transaction price; 4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations; and 5) recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy a performance obligation.
Revenues are primarily derived from the direct sales of manufactured products. Revenues may also consist of maintenance fees for the maintenance of previously sold products, and revenues from sales of professional services.
Revenues from inventoried product sales are recognized upon the final delivery of such product to the customer or when legal transfer of ownership takes place. Revenue values are fixed price arrangements determined at the time an order is placed or a contract is entered into. The customer is typically obligated to make payment for such products within a 30-45 day period after delivery.
24 |
Revenues from maintenance fees are recognized equally over the period of the maintenance term. Revenue values are fixed price arrangements determined at the time an order is placed or a contract is entered into. The customer is typically obligated to make payment for the service in advance of the maintenance period.
Revenues from professional services are recognized as services are performed. Revenue values are based upon fixed fee arrangements or hourly fee-based arrangements with agreed to hourly rates of service categories in line with expertise requirements. These services are billed to a customer as such services are provided and the customer will be obligated to make payments for such services typically within a 30-45 day period.
The Company includes shipping and handling fees billed to customers as revenues, and shipping and handling costs as cost of revenues.
Any deposits received from a customer prior to delivery of the purchased product or monies paid to us prior to the period for which a service is provided are accounted for as deferred revenue on the balance sheet.
Sales tax is recorded on a net basis and excluded from revenue.
The Company generally provides a one year warranty on its products for materials and workmanship but may provide multiple year warranties as negotiated, and will pass on the warranties from its vendors, if any, which generally covers this one year period. 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, 2019, the Company has no product warranty accrual given the Company’s de minimis historical financial warranty experience.
Cost of Revenues. The Company records direct material and component costs, direct labor and associated benefits, and manufacturing overhead costs such as supervision, manufacturing equipment depreciation, rent, and utility costs, all of which are included in inventory prior to a sale, as costs of revenues. The Company further includes shipping and handling fees billed to customers as revenues, and shipping and handling costs as cost of revenues.
Changes in Accounting Principles. Other than the adoption of ASU No. 2016-02: “Leases (Topic 842),” there were no significant changes in accounting principles that were adopted during the quarter ended March 31, 2019.
Results of Operations
Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2018
Revenue. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, our revenues were $1,189,595 compared to $2,875,972 for the three months ended March 31, 2018, a 59% decrease. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, revenues were primarily derived from the delivery of eighteen EV ARC™ units to the city of New York. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, revenues were primarily derived from the delivery of forty two EV ARC™ units. As of March 31, 2019, our contracted backlog was approximately $3.7 million.
Gross Profit (Loss). For the three months ended March 31, 2019, we had a gross loss of $53,102 compared to a gross profit of $34,300 for the period ended March 31, 2018, a 255% decrease. Gross losses in the three months ended March 31, 2019 associated with the delivered units were reduced by a proportionate reduction of a contract loss accrual amounting to $37,982. The gross losses in the 2019 period were primarily a direct result of losses on all products delivered in the period, whereas the 2018 period had numerous units delivered that had gross profits associated with such sales and thus offset other expenses. Warranty costs remain de minimis at approximately $3,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $1,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2018.
Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses were $522,667 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $609,169 for the same period in 2018, a 14% decrease. The main driver of this decrease relates to director fees that decreased to $31,250 during the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $140,625 for the three months ended March 31, 2018, a $109,000 reduction. Sales labor costs decreased in 2019 by approximately $23,000 primarily due to decreased personnel. Legal fees increased by approximately $15,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2019. Additionally, marketing expenses decreased by approximately $17,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2019 as we attended fewer trade show events. All other operating expenses were consistent between periods.
25 |
Interest Expense. Interest expense was $375,206 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $437,546 for the same period in 2018, a 14% decrease. This decrease in 2019 primarily related to amortized value of debt discount to interest expense that decreased to $298,739 during the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $379,344 for the three months ended March 31, 2018.
Net Loss. We had a net loss of $949,631 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to a net loss of $1,011,607 for the same period in 2018, a decrease of 6%. Significant elements deriving these losses have been discussed above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At March 31, 2019, we had cash of $125,791. We have historically met our cash needs through a combination of proceeds from private placements of our securities and from loans. Our cash requirements are generally for operating activities.
Our operating activities resulted in cash used in operations of $222,177 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to cash provided by operations of $466,138 for the same period in 2018, a 148% change. Principal elements of cash flow for the three months ended March 31, 2019 include the net loss of the Company offset by non-cash expense items including depreciation and amortization of $9,929, common stock share value issued for director services of $31,250, and $298,739 of amortization of debt discount to interest expense associated with the financings of the current debt facilities. Further, cash from operations for the period included of a net increase in accounts receivable of $101,080; a use of cash of $102,700 related to the increase in prepaid expenses primarily for funding our annual business insurance policies; a generation of cash of $48,672 associated with the reduction of deposits which was used to offset a monthly rent payment per the terms of our lease; a generation of cash of $225,958 related to the increase in accounts payable primarily due to the timing of purchases and our ability to make payments; a generation of cash of $84,179 related to the increase in accrued liabilities primarily due to an accrued payroll period; a generation of cash amounting to $68,322 related to the increase in deferred revenue for a prepayment for an EVARC™ unit by a customer.
Cash used in investing activities was $13,229 and $27,222 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, a 51% decrease. In 2019, $10,119 was used to fund patent related costs while $3,110 was used to purchase manufacturing equipment.
Cash generated by our financing activities was $117,173 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to cash used in financing activities was $588,166 for the same period in 2018, a 120% change. In 2019, the cash provided by financing activities was primarily net borrowings on our line of credit facility amounting to $158,442 offset by loan payments of $2,583 and funding of deferred equity offering costs of $38,686.
As of March 31, 2019, current liabilities exceeded current assets by $4,215,214. In 2019, current assets decreased by approximately $57,000 resulting primarily from a decrease in cash of $118,000, the decrease in accounts receivable of $101,000 associated with the timing of collections in the period offset by an increase of $139,00 in inventory in the period. In 2019, current liabilities increased by approximately $1,398,000 primarily as a result of an increase in our outstanding net debt balances after debt discount amortization, a funding of $158,422 on our line of credit, and the recording of an approximate $524,000 liability associated with our right to use lease asset. along with small changes in accounts payable balances and other accrued expenses.
While the Company has been attempting to grow market awareness and focusing on the generation of sales, the Company had not generally earned a gross profit on its sales of products. It has been pricing its products in an attempt to forge durable long-term customer relationships, to gain market share, and to establish its brand. Management believes that with increased production volumes that we believe are forthcoming, efficiencies will continue to improve, and total per unit production costs will decrease, thus allowing for consistent gross profits on the EV ARC ™ product in the future. The Company may continue to rely on capital from the private or public issuance of its securities, if or when needed, as well as initiating future debt instruments until it achieves positive cash flow from its business, which is predicated on increasing sales volumes and the continuation of production cost reduction measures. Management cannot currently predict when or if it will achieve positive cash flow.
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 and vendor negotiations leading to cost reductions, increased public awareness of the Company and its products, and the maturation of certain long sales cycle opportunities. Management believes that these steps, if successful, may enable the Company to generate sufficient revenue to continue operations. There is no assurance, however, as to if or when the Company will be able to achieve those operating objectives.

Capitalization
On April 18, 2019, the Company closed an underwritten public offering with Maxim Group LLC (“Maxim”), as representative for the several underwriters (the “Underwriters”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Underwriters an aggregate of 2,000,000 units with each unit consisting of one (1) share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and a warrant to purchase one (1) share of Common Stock at an exercise price equal to $6.30 per share (the “Warrants”). In addition, the Company granted the Underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to 300,000 additional shares of Common Stock, and/or Warrants, or any combination thereof, at the public offering price to cover over-allotments, if any. The Common Stock and the Warrants were offered and sold to the public (the “Offering”) pursuant to the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 (File Nos. 333-226040), filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on July 2, 2018, as amended, which became effective on April 15, 2019, and a related registration statement filed pursuant to Rule 462 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The offering price to the public was $6.00 per unit and the Underwriters purchased 2,000,000 units. In addition, the Underwriters purchased 300,000 Warrants upon the exercise of the Underwriters’ over-allotment option. The Company received gross proceeds of approximately $12,000,000, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses. The total expenses of the offering, including underwriting discounts and commissions, were approximately $1,350,000.
On April 16, 2019, in connection with the Offering, the Common Stock and the Warrants of the Company began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the trading symbols “EVSI” and “EVSIW,” respectively.
In April 2019, pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company issued to the Underwriters warrants (the “Representative’s Warrants”) to purchase up to a total of 300,000 shares of common stock (5% of the shares of common stock sold). The warrants are exercisable at $6.60 per share and have a term of five years. Pursuant to the customary FINRA rules, the representative’s warrants are subject to a 180-day lock-up pursuant to which the representative will not sell, transfer, assign, pledge, or hypothecate these warrants or the securities underlying these warrants, nor will it engage in any hedging, short sale, derivative, put, or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of the warrants or the underlying securities for a period of 180 days from the date of the prospectus relating to the offering.
In addition, pursuant the Underwriting Agreement, the Company granted Maxim a right of first refusal for a period of twelve months from the commencement of sales of the offering, to act as sole and exclusive investment banker, book-runner, financial advisor, underwriter and/or placement agent, at Maxim’s sole and exclusive discretion, for each and every future public and private equity and debt offering.
In April 2019, the Company effected a one-for-fifty reverse split of its issued and outstanding common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”), and reduced the number of authorized shares of common stock from 490,000,000 to 9,800,000. No fractional shares were issued as a result of the reverse stock split. Fractional shares were rounded up or down to the nearest whole share, after aggregating all fractional shares held by a stockholder. Any stockholder holding less than 24 shares of Common Stock on a pre-reverse stock basis were paid in cash for such fractional share of Common Stock which resulted in a buyback of approximately 1,100 shares for $180. All share and per share data in the accompanying unaudited financial statements and footnotes for all periods presented have been retroactively adjusted for this reverse stock split.

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, 2019, we do not yet have sufficient disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that all the information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports was recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis.
The Company intends 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 which have previously prevented us from investing in these areas. Although not a comprehensive listing, as of December 31, 2018, we had identified the following material weaknesses which still exist as of March 31, 2019 and through the date of this report:
· | Because of the size of the Company and the Company’s limited administrative staff, as well as other infrastructure limitations and other reasons, controls related to the segregation of certain duties, and additionally, controls and processes involving the communication, dissemination and disclosure of information, have not yet been developed or instituted by the Company. |
Since these entity level controls have a pervasive effect across the organization, management has determined that these circumstances constitute a material weakness.
Corrective Action
Management intends to make future investments in the continuing education of our accounting and financial staff. Improvements in our disclosure controls and procedures and in our internal control over financial reporting will depend on adding additional resources to provide more internal checks and balances. We are already progressing towards achieving these goals and believe we will be able to achieve the balance of them now that our fund-raising efforts have been successful. We recently increased our board size from three to four members by adding another independent director who will also serve as the Chairman of our Audit Committee. Additionally, we plan to add finance and accounting staff. These additional human resources will allow us to ensure the necessary segregation of duties for purposes of financial reporting, and to introduce and implement certain IT controls which we believe necessary for sufficient controls to be in place.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
