Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 (Unaudited)

SG Blocks, Inc. (the “Company”) provides two main products, both of which are used to meet the growing demand for safe and green commercial, industrial and residential building construction. The Company provides SG Blocks™, code engineered cargo shipping containers that the Company modifies for use in construction. Rather than consuming new steel and lumber, SG Blocks™ capitalize on the structural engineering and design parameters a shipping container must meet and repurposes them for use in building. These products offer the construction industry a safer, greener, faster, longer lasting and more economical alternative to conventional construction methods. The Company also provides purpose-built modules (“SGPBMs” and, together with SG Blocks™, “Modules”), which are prefabricated steel modular units created specifically for use in modular construction, unlike the shipping containers used to create SG Blocks™.

The Company was previously known as CDSI Holdings, Inc. (a Delaware corporation incorporated on December 29, 1993). On November 4, 2011, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary was merged with and into SG Building Blocks, Inc. (“SG Building,” formerly SG Blocks Inc.) (the “Merger”), with SG Building surviving the Merger and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Merger was a reverse merger that was accounted for as a recapitalization of SG Building, as SG Building was the accounting acquirer. Accordingly, the historical financial statements presented are the financial statements of SG Building.

Since the Company’s inception, it has generated revenues from construction and project management services related to the use and modification of Modules in construction.

Through June 30, 2018, the Company has incurred an accumulated deficit of $7,806,261. At June 30, 2018, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $3,020,614.

As of June 30, 2018, the Company had 4,260,041 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.

Reverse Stock Split

On February 28, 2017, the Company effected a 1-for-3 reverse stock split of its then-outstanding common stock and preferred stock, which has since been converted. All share and per share amounts set forth in the consolidated financial statements of the Company have been retroactively restated to reflect the split as if it had occurred as of the earliest period presented.

Public Offering of Common Stock

On June 27, 2017, the Company completed a public offering of its common stock (the “Public Offering”). In connection with the Public Offering, the Company sold 1,500,000 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $5.00 per share, resulting in aggregate net proceeds of $6,826,558 after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and related expenses of $673,442. On July 12, 2017, the underwriters of the Public Offering exercised their option to purchase an additional 225,000 shares of common stock, resulting in net proceeds of $1,046,250 after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and related expenses of $78,750. In addition, the Company incurred additional expenses related to the offering in the amount of $813,195.

In connection with the Public Offering and as compensation to the underwriters, the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 86,250 shares of the Company’s common stock, at an exercise price of $6.25 per share, to certain affiliates of the underwriters. See Note 9 for additional information regarding the underwriters’ warrants.

The Company incurred a total of $1,565,386 in issuance costs in connection with the Public Offering.

On October 15, 2015, the Company and its subsidiaries voluntarily filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. The Plan of Reorganization became effective on June 30, 2016, whereupon the Company emerged from bankruptcy and implemented the terms of such plan. The Company applied fresh start accounting as of June 30, 2016.

Interim financial information – The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial statements have been included. Results for the six months ended June 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018.

The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2017 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 1, 2018.

Basis of consolidation – The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, SG Building. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements – New accounting pronouncements implemented by the Company during the first half of 2018 are discussed below or in the related notes, where appropriate.

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASC 606”). ASC 606 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605)” (“ASC 605”) and requires entities to recognize revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company adopted ASC 606 as of January 1, 2018.

In accordance with ASC 606, the Company applied the modified retrospective method to those contracts which were not completed as of January 1, 2018. Under the modified retrospective method, the cumulative effect of applying the standard is recognized at the date of initial application. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the Company’s historic accounting under ASC 605. In implementing ASC 606, the Company was required to recalculate the revenue earned on any work in process at the implementation date and to restate the revenue and cost of revenues as if ASC 606 had been followed from the inception of the contract.  In recalculating costs and revenue under ASC 606 guidelines, no material difference in the account balances were identified. Since a material difference was not found, no retrospective analysis of account balance changes was required. See “Revenue recognition” below for further discussion regarding revenue from contracts with customers.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements - New accounting pronouncements requiring implementation in future periods are discussed below.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU No. 2016-02”). The update’s principal objective is to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet. ASU 2016-02 continues to retain a distinction between finance and operating leases but requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset representing their right to use the underlying asset for the lease term and a corresponding lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms greater than twelve months. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of ASU 2016-02 on the consolidated financial statements. Based on the current evaluation, the Company does not expect that ASU No. 2016-02 will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, “Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting” (“ASU 2018-07”), which expands the scope of Topic 718 to include all share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. ASU 2018-07 specifies that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which the grantor acquires goods and services to be used or consumed in its own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. ASU 2018-07 also clarifies that Topic 718 does not apply to share-based payments used to effectively provide (1) financing to the issuer or (2) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under ASC 606. ASU 2018-07 is effective for the Company beginning December 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted, but no earlier than our adoption of ASC 606. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

Accounting estimates – The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant areas that require the Company to make estimates include revenue recognition, stock-based compensation, warrant liabilities and allowance for doubtful accounts. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Operating cycle – The length of the Company’s contracts varies but is typically between six to twelve months. In some instances, the length of the contracts may exceed twelve months. Assets and liabilities relating to contracts are included in current assets and current liabilities, respectively, in the accompanying balance sheets as they will be liquidated in the normal course of contract completion, which at times could exceed one year.

Revenue recognition – On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the following ASUs:

ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. ASU 2014-09 outlines a five-step process for revenue recognition that focuses on transfer of control, as opposed to transfer of risk and rewards, and also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows from contracts with customers. Major provisions include determining which goods and services are distinct and represent separate performance obligations, how variable consideration (which may include change orders and claims) is recognized, whether revenue should be recognized at a point in time or over time and ensuring the time value of money is considered in the transaction price.

ASU 2016-08, “Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net)” clarifies the principal versus agent guidance in ASU 2014-09. ASU 2016-08 clarifies how an entity determines whether to report revenue gross or net based on whether it controls a specific good or service before it is transferred to a customer. ASU 2016-08 also reframes the indicators to focus on evidence that an entity is acting as a principal rather than as an agent.

ASU 2016-10, “Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing” amends certain aspects of ASU 2014-09. ASU 2016-10 amends how an entity should identify performance obligations for immaterial promised goods or services, shipping and handling activities and promises that may represent performance obligations. ASU 2016-10 also provides implementation guidance for determining the nature of licensing and royalties arrangements.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 (Unaudited)

ASU 2016-12, “Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients” also clarifies certain aspects of ASU 2014-09, including the assessment of collectability, presentation of sales taxes, treatment of noncash consideration and accounting for completed contracts and contract modifications at transition.

ASU 2016-20, “Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers” allows an entity to determine the provision for loss contracts at either the contract level or the performance obligation level as an accounting policy election. The Company determines its provision for loss contracts at the contract level.

ASU 2017-05, “Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets” clarifies that the scope and application of ASC 610-20 on accounting for the sale or transfer of nonfinancial assets and in substance nonfinancial assets to noncustomers, including partial sales, applies only when the asset (or asset group) does not meet the definition of a business.

ASU 2017-13, “Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to the Staff Announcement at the July 20, 2017 EITF Meeting and Rescission of Prior SEC Staff Announcements and Observer Comments” provides guidance related to the effective dates of the ASUs noted above.

The adoption of ASC 606 represents a change in accounting principle that aligns revenue recognition with the timing of when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this core principle, the Company applies the following five steps in accordance with ASC 606:

(1) Identify the contract with a customer

(2) Identify the performance obligations in the contract

(3) Determine the transaction price

(4) Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract

(5) Recognize revenue as performance obligations are satisfied

The new revenue recognition standard requires the Company to determine, at contract inception, whether it will transfer control of a promised good or service over time or at a point in time—regardless of the length of contract or other factors. The Company now applies recognition of revenue over time, which is similar to the method the Company applied under previous guidance (i.e., percentage of completion).

Due to uncertainties inherent in the estimation process, it is possible that estimates of costs to complete a performance obligation will be revised in the near-term. For those performance obligations for which revenue is recognized using a cost-to-cost input method, changes in total estimated costs, and related progress toward complete satisfaction of the performance obligation, are recognized on a cumulative catch-up basis in the period in which the revisions to the estimates are made. When the current estimate of total costs for a performance obligation indicate a loss, a provision for the entire estimated loss on the unsatisfied performance obligation is made in the period in which the loss becomes evident. For the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, there were no changes in total estimated costs that had a significant impact to our operating results. In addition, for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, there were no significant losses recognized.

Remaining Unsatisfied Performance Obligations

The Company’s remaining unsatisfied performance obligations (“RUPO”) as of June 30, 2018 represent the remaining transaction price of firm contracts for which work has not been performed and excludes unexercised contract options.  As of June 30, 2018, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining unsatisfied performance obligations was $102,871,255.

The Company expects to satisfy its RUPO as of June 30, 2018 over the following period:

Although RUPO reflects business that is considered to be firm, cancellations, deferrals or scope adjustments may occur. RUPO is adjusted to reflect any known project cancellations, revisions to project scope and cost, foreign currency exchange fluctuations and project deferrals, as appropriate.

Disaggregation of Revenues

The Company’s revenues are principally derived from construction and engineering contracts related to Modules. Our contracts are with many different customers in numerous industries.

The following tables provide further disaggregation of the Company’s revenues by categories: 

SG BLOCKS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 (Unaudited)

Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities

Accounts receivable are recognized in the period when the Company’s right to consideration is unconditional. Accounts receivable are recognized net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. A considerable amount of judgment is required in assessing the likelihood of realization of receivables.

The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers.

Contract assets include unbilled amounts from our long-term construction services when revenue recognized under the cost-to-cost measure of progress exceeds the amounts invoiced to customers, as the amounts cannot be billed under the terms of our contracts. Such amounts are recoverable from customers based upon various measures of performance, including achievement of certain milestones, completion of specified units or completion of a contract. Contract assets are generally classified as current within the condensed consolidated balance sheets and labeled as “costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts”.

Contract liabilities from construction and engineering contracts occur when amounts invoiced to our customers exceed revenues recognized under the cost-to-cost measure of progress. Contract liabilities additionally include advanced payments from our customers on certain contracts. Contract liabilities decrease as the Company recognizes revenue from the satisfaction of the related performance obligation. Contract liabilities are generally classified as current within the condensed consolidated balance sheet and labeled as “billing in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts”.

Although the Company has established adequate procedures for estimating costs to complete on open contracts, it is at least reasonably possible that additional significant costs could occur on contracts prior to completion. The Company periodically evaluates and revises its estimates and makes adjustments when they are considered necessary.

Impact of the Adoption of ASC 606 on Financial Statements

Prior to implementing ASC 606 on January 1, 2018, the Company’s methods for recognizing revenue were very similar to the current method under ASC 606.  The actual cost as a percent of total expected cost at completion was used to estimate the percentage complete on fixed price jobs. Furthermore, the process for allocating transaction price to performance obligations is also substantially similar to prior years. As a result, no material modifications were made to our revenue recognition.

Cash and cash equivalents – The Company considers cash and cash equivalents to include all short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and have original maturities of three months or less upon acquisition.

Short-term investment – The Company classifies any investments with a maturity greater than three months but less than one year as short-term investment.

Accounts receivable – Accounts receivable are receivables generated from sales to customers and progress billings on performance type contracts. Amounts included in accounts receivable are deemed to be collectible within the Company’s operating cycle. Management provides an allowance for doubtful accounts based on the Company’s historical losses, specific customer circumstances, and general economic conditions. Periodically, management reviews accounts receivable and adjusts the allowance based on current circumstances and charges off uncollectible receivables when all attempts to collect have been exhausted and the prospects for recovery are remote.

Goodwill – Goodwill represents the excess of reorganization value over fair value of identified net assets upon emergence from bankruptcy on June 30, 2016. In accordance with the accounting guidance on goodwill, the Company performs its impairment test of goodwill at the reporting unit level each fiscal year, or more frequently if events or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of its reporting unit below its carrying values. The Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. If management concludes that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, management conducts a two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. The first step of the impairment test involves comparing the fair value of the applicable reporting unit with its carrying value. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, management performs the second step of the goodwill impairment test. The second step of the goodwill impairment test involves comparing the implied fair value of the affected reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying value of that goodwill. The amount by which the carrying value of the goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, if any, is recognized as an impairment loss. The Company’s evaluation of goodwill completed during the year ended December 31, 2017 resulted in no impairment losses.

Intangible assets – Intangible assets represent the preliminary assets identified upon emergence from bankruptcy and consist of $2,766,000 of proprietary knowledge and technology, which is being amortized over 20 years, and $1,113,000 of customer contracts, which is being amortized over 2.5 years. In addition, intangible assets include trademarks of $28,820, which is being amortized over 5 years. The Company evaluated intangible assets for impairment during the year ended December 31, 2017 and determined that there were no impairment losses. The accumulated amortization as of June 30, 2018 and 2017 was $1,174,205 and $584,941, respectively. The amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was $147,316 for both reporting periods. The amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was $294,632 and $293,191, respectively. The estimated remaining amortization expense for the successive five years is as follows:

Fair value measurements – Financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, are carried at cost, which the Company believes approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

The Company uses three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:

Short-term investment: The Company had $30,033 in short-term investments as of December 31, 2017, which were classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the investments were redeemed, and the proceeds are included in the cash balance at June 30, 2018.

Conversion option liabilities: The conversion option liabilities are measured at fair value using the Black-Scholes model and are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. For fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, who reports to the Chief Executive Officer, determines the Company’s valuation policies and procedures. The development and determination of the unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements and fair value calculations are the responsibility of the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and are approved by the Chief Executive Officer. The Company had no conversion option liabilities outstanding at June 30, 2018.

The following table sets forth a summary of the changes in the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2017 that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

The Company presented the conversion option liabilities at fair value on its condensed consolidated balance sheets, with the corresponding changes in fair value recorded in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations for the applicable reporting periods.

The calculation of the Black-Scholes model involved the use of the fair value of the Company’s common stock, estimated term, volatility, risk-free interest rates and dividend yield (if applicable). The Company developed the assumptions that were used as follows: the fair value of the Company’s common stock was obtained from the terms of the recapitalization of the Company, including the Exit Facility (defined below), which occurred concurrent with the Company’s emergence from bankruptcy protection, as well as publicly traded market prices of the Company’s common stock. The term represented the remaining contractual term of the derivative; the volatility rate was developed based on analysis of the Company’s historical stock price volatility and the historical volatility rates of several other similarly situated companies (using a number of observations that was at least equal to or exceeded the number of observations in the life of the derivative financial instrument at issue); the risk free interest rates were obtained from publicly available United States Treasury yield curve rates; and the dividend yield was zero because the Company has not paid dividends and does not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.

Share-based payments – The Company measures the cost of services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award. For employees and directors, the fair value of the award is measured on the grant date. The fair value amount is then recognized over the period services are required to be provided in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense on a graded-vesting basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting tranche of each award. Stock-based compensation expense to employees is reported within payroll and related expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Stock-based compensation expense to non-employees is reported within marketing and business development expense in the consolidated statements of operations. For the six month period ended June 30, 2018, the Company did not have any stock-based compensation expense to non-employees.

Income taxes – The Company accounts for income taxes utilizing the asset and liability approach. Under this approach, deferred taxes represent the future tax consequences expected to occur when the reported amounts of assets and liabilities are recovered or paid. The provision for income taxes generally represents income taxes paid or payable for the current year plus the change in deferred taxes during the year. Deferred taxes result from the differences between the financial and tax bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities and are adjusted for changes in tax rates and tax laws when changes are enacted.

The calculation of tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations. The Company recognizes liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on the Company’s estimate of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. If payment of these amounts ultimately proves to be unnecessary, the reversal of the liabilities would result in tax benefits being recognized in the period when the liabilities are no longer determined to be necessary. If the estimate of tax liabilities proves to be less than the ultimate assessment, a further charge to expense would result.

The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement basis and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company estimates the degree to which tax assets and credit carryforwards will result in a benefit based on expected profitability by tax jurisdiction. A valuation allowance for such tax assets and loss carryforwards is provided when it is determined to be more likely than not that the benefit of such deferred tax asset will not be realized in future periods. If it becomes more likely than not that a tax asset will be used, the related valuation allowance on such assets would be reduced.

Impact from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “TCJA”) was enacted in the United States on December 22, 2017. The TCJA lowered the corporate tax rate from 35.0% to 21.0% and imposed a one-time transition tax on unremitted earnings as of the end of 2017, and featured many other tax law provisions. The Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, “Income Tax Accounting Implications of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“SAB 118”)”, to address the U.S. GAAP application of the TCJA. SAB 118 provides companies up to a year to finalize accounting for the impacts of the TCJA.

In accordance with SAB 118, the Company recognized the income tax effects of the TCJA in its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company did not have any provisional tax expense for foreign withholding taxes associated with the TCJA. The Company expects to finalize any provisional amounts associated with the TCJA over the next six months based on ongoing assessment of its tax positions and other relevant data.

Concentrations of credit risk – Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents. The Company places its cash with high credit quality institutions. At times, such amounts may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in its account and believes that it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on the account.

With respect to receivables, concentrations of credit risk are limited to a few customers in the construction industry. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and, generally, requires no collateral from its customers other than normal lien rights. At June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, 69% and 81%, respectively, of the Company’s accounts receivable were due from two customers.

Revenue relating to two customers represented approximately 48% and 12%, respectively, of the Company’s total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2018. Revenue relating to three customers represented approximately 38%, 35% and 22%, respectively, of the Company’s total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2017. Revenue relating to one customer represented approximately 48% of the Company’s total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Revenue relating to three customers represented approximately 47%, 18% and 13%, respectively, of the Company’s total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2017.

Cost of revenue relating to two vendors represented approximately 73% and 81%, respectively, of the Company’s total cost of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017. Cost of revenue relating to one and two vendors represented approximately 60% and 76%, respectively, of the Company’s total cost of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017. The Company believes it has access to alternative suppliers, with limited disruption to the business, should circumstances change with its existing suppliers. 

At June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company’s accounts receivable consisted of the following:

The above amounts are included in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets under the following captions at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

On June 30, 2016, and pursuant to the terms of the Company’s plan of reorganization, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated June 30, 2016, with Hillair Capital Investments L.P. (“HCI”), pursuant to which the Company sold, for a subscription price of $2,000,000, a 12% Original Issue Discount Senior Secured Convertible Debenture to HCI in the principal amount of $2,500,000, with a maturity date of June 30, 2018 (the “Exit Facility”). The Exit Facility was convertible at HCI’s option at any time, in whole or in part, into shares of the Company’s common stock at a ratio of 1 share for every $3.75 of debt.

On November 17, 2016, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with HCI, pursuant to which the Company sold, for a subscription price of $750,000, a 12% Original Issue Discount Senior Secured Convertible Debenture to HCI in the amount of $937,500, with a maturity date of June 30, 2018 (the “November 2016 Debenture” and, together with the Exit Facility, the “2016 Debentures”). The November 2016 Debenture was convertible at HCI’s option at any time, in whole or in part, into shares of the Company’s common stock at a ratio of 1 share for every $3.75 of debt.

In connection with the Public Offering, HCI converted approximately $1,937,500 of the 2016 Debentures into 516,667 shares of common stock. The Company recorded a loss of $1,018,475 on the conversion of the 2016 Debentures. The Company repaid the remaining outstanding balance of approximately $1,500,000 using proceedings from the Public Offering.

For the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, total amortization related to the discount amounted to $0 and $165,194, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, total amortization relating to the discount amounted to $0 and $330,388, respectively, and is included in interest expense on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common and potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive common shares consist of the common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants. Potentially dilutive common shares are excluded from the calculation if their effect is antidilutive. At June 30, 2018, there were options, including options to non-employees and non-directors, and warrants to purchase 1,188,392 and 86,250 shares of common stock, respectively, outstanding that could potentially dilute future net income (loss) per share. Because the Company had a net loss as of June 30, 2018, it is prohibited from including potential common shares in the computation of diluted per share amounts. Accordingly, the Company has used the same number of shares outstanding to calculate both the basic and diluted loss per share.

A summary of stock option activity as of June 30, 2018 and changes during the six months then ended are presented below. The table includes options granted to employees and directors of the Company and does not include 50,000 options granted to a consultant during 2017:

The fair value of warrants was calculated utilizing a Black-Scholes model and amounted to $63,796. The fair market value of the warrants as of the date of issuance has been included in issuance costs in additional paid-in capital.

Public Offering – In June 2017, the Company issued 1,500,000 shares of its common stock at $5.00 per share through the Public Offering. The Company incurred $1,388,615 in issuance costs from the Public Offering and issued 75,000 warrants valued at $55,475 to the underwriters.

The following represents the backlog of signed construction and engineering contracts in existence at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, which represents the amount of revenue the Company expects to realize from work to be performed on uncompleted contracts in progress and from contractual agreements in effect at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, on which work has not yet begun:

Backlog at June 30, 2018 includes two large contracts entered into by the Company during the third quarter of 2017 and one during the first quarter of 2018 in the amounts of approximately $55 million, $15 million and $27 million, respectively. The Company expects that all of this revenue will be realized by December 31, 2020.

On July 24, 2018, the Compensation Committee approved an increase in annual base salary for Mr. Galvin and Mr. Shetty to $370,000 and $300,000, respectively, effective as of January 1, 2018. The Company has recognized the increase in base salaries as additional payroll and related expenses as reflected in the financial statements for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2018.

On July 26, 2018, based on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), the full Board approved the adoption of a non-employee director compensation plan, pursuant to which the Company’s non-employee directors are to receive total annual compensation of $60,000 per year, consisting of (1) a $30,000 cash component and (2) a $30,000 equity component, which will be granted each year in conjunction with the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders.

The cash component is payable quarterly in advance and, beginning in the 2019 calendar year, each non-employee director may elect to receive the $30,000 in the form of RSUs, in either a $15,000 or $30,000 increment. In addition, the chairs of the audit committee and compensation committee and the lead independent director will receive an additional annual cash retainer in the amounts of $10,000, $7,500 and $10,000, respectively. In the event the Board forms a nominating and corporate governance committee, the chair of such committee will receive an annual cash retainer in the amount of $5,000. The cash component of the non-employee director compensation plan, including the additional retainers, is effective as of January 1, 2018. The Company has recognized the cash component of the non-employee director compensation plan as additional general and administrative expenses as reflected in the financial statements for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2018.

On July 26, 2018, pursuant to the equity component of the plan, the Company awarded 5,591 RSUs to each of the Company’s five non-employee directors serving as a director immediately after the Company’s 2018 annual meeting of stockholders held on June 1, 2018. These RSUs will vest on the earlier of July 26, 2019 or the date of the Company’s 2019 annual stockholder meeting, subject to accelerated vesting in the event of death or disability, and shall be payable six months after termination from the Board or death or disability.

On August 2, 2018, Sean M. McAvoy notified the Company of his resignation from the Board, effective immediately. There was no disagreement between Mr. McAvoy and the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.

On August 10, 2018, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission, registering 622,726 shares of the Company’s common stock for resale by HCI; Mr. McAvoy is affiliated with HCI due to his role as the manager of Hillair Capital Management LLC, the investment adviser of HCI.

Background

We offer the construction industry a safer, greener, faster, longer-lasting and more economical alternative to conventional construction methods. We redesign, repurpose and convert heavy-gauge steel cargo shipping containers into SG Blocks™, safe green building blocks for commercial, industrial and residential building construction. We also use purpose-built modules, or prefabricated steel modular units customized for use in modular construction (“SGPBMs” and, together with SG Blocks™, “Modules”), primarily to augment or complement a SG Blocks™ structure.

We use two products. For our SG Blocks™ projects, we provide code engineered cargo shipping containers that we modify and deliver to meet the growing demand for safe and green construction. Rather than consuming new steel and lumber, we capitalize on the structural engineering and design parameters a shipping container must meet and repurpose them for use in building. For our SGPBM projects, we start with a design and customize an engineered steel structure to a customer plan and specifications primarily to augment or complement a SG Blocks™ structure.

Public Offering

On June 27, 2017, we completed a public offering of our common stock (the “Public Offering”), in which we sold 1.5 million shares of common stock at a public offering price of $5.00 per share, resulting in aggregate net proceeds of $6.8 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and related expenses. On July 12, 2017, the underwriters of the Public Offering exercised in full their option to purchase an additional 225,000 shares of common stock at a price to the public of $5.00 per share. As a result, total net proceeds from the Public Offering were approximately $7.9 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and related expenses. The Company incurred a total of approximately $1.6 million in issuance costs in connection with the Public Offering.

Bankruptcy Proceedings

On October 15, 2015, the Company and its subsidiaries voluntarily filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. The Plan of Reorganization became effective on June 30, 2016, whereupon the Company emerged from bankruptcy and implemented the terms of such plan. The Company applied fresh start accounting as of June 30, 2016.

Payroll and Related Expenses

Payroll and related expenses were $572,612 and $292,550, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017. The increase from the 2017 period was due primarily to an increase in wages, taxes and benefits of $249,737 related to an increase in headcount and an increase of $30,325 in stock-based compensation expense.

Other Operating Expenses

Other operating expenses include professional fees, marketing and business development, pre-project and depreciation and amortization expenses. During the three months ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017, other operating expenses were $697,628 and $375,244, respectively.

Income Tax Provision

A 100% valuation allowance was provided against the deferred tax asset consisting of available net operating loss carryforwards and, accordingly, no income tax benefit was provided.

Impact of Inflation

The impact of inflation upon our revenue and income (loss) from continuing operations during each of the past two fiscal years has not been material to our financial position or results of operations for those years because we do not maintain any inventories that have costs affected by inflation. 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we had an aggregate of $3,020,614 and $4,900,857, respectively, of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments.

Historically, our operations have primarily been funded through proceeds from equity and debt financings, as well as revenue from operations.

In June 2017, we completed the Public Offering, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $6.8 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and related expenses. In July 2017, in connection with our Public Offering, the underwriters exercised their option to purchase 225,000 additional shares of common stock from us in full at a price to the public of $5.00 per share. As a result of the exercise and closing of the option to purchase additional shares, total net proceeds from the Public Offering were approximately $7.9 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and related expenses. We incurred approximately of $1.6 million in issuance costs in connection with the Public Offering.

We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, we have sustained losses since our emergence from bankruptcy. Our net loss from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was $1,987,005 and net cash used in operating activities was $1,876,463 for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Prior to the Public Offering, our level of cash and operating margins were not enough to cover our existing fixed and variable obligations. In addition, our liquidity was not sufficient to fund general expansion. The proceeds from the Public Offering will be, and have been, used, in part, to fund anticipated growth, including a projected expansion in existing and targeted market areas.

We can provide no assurance that our plans will materialize or that we will be successful in funding estimated cash shortfalls through the proceeds from the Public Offering. We may also need to generate additional revenues or secure additional financing sources, such as debt or equity capital, to fund future growth, which financing may not be available on favorable terms or at all. We do not have any additional sources secured for future funding, and if we are unable to raise the necessary capital at the times we require such funding, we may need to materially change our business plan, including delaying implementation of aspects of such business plan or curtailing or abandoning such business plan altogether.

Cash Flow Summary

Operating activities used net cash of $1,876,463 in the six months ended June 30, 2018, and $243,195 in the six months ended June 30, 2017. Generally, our net operating cash flows fluctuate primarily based on changes in our profitability and working capital. Cash used for operating activities increased by $1,876,463 primarily due to loss from operations of $1,525,184, and $351,269 from changes in working capital driven primarily by reduction in accounts payable and billings in excess of costs.

Investing activities provided net cash of $26,253 in the six months ended June 30, 2018, and $0 in the six months ended June 30, 2017. Cash provided by investing activities increased by $26,253 from the corresponding period of the prior year primarily due to an increase in proceeds from short-term investments.

Financing activities provided net cash of $0 in the six months ended June 30, 2018, and $5,326,558 in the six months ended June 30, 2017. Cash provided by financing activities decreased by $5,326,558 primarily due to a decrease in proceeds from the issuance of common stock of $6,826,558 and a decrease in debt payments of $1,500,00 from the corresponding period of the prior year, both of which occurred in connection with the Public Offering.

We provide services to our customers in three separate phases: the design phase, the architectural and engineering phase and the construction phase. Each phase is independent of the other but builds through a progression of concept through delivery of a completed structure as one performance obligation. These phases may be embodied in a single contract or in separate contracts, which is typical of a design build process model. As of June 30, 2018, we had 16 projects totaling $102,871,255 under contract, which, if they all proceed to construction, will result in our constructing approximately 684,856 square feet of container space. Of these contracts, all sixteen projects totaling approximately 684,856 square feet were contracts combining all three phases or parts thereof and are considered as “construction services”. We expect that all of this revenue will be realized by December 31, 2020. 

Backlog may fluctuate significantly due to the timing of orders or awards for large projects and is not necessarily indicative of future backlog levels or the rate at which backlog will be recognized as revenue. The increase in backlog of approximately $31.6 million from December 31, 2017 is primarily attributable to one large contract we entered into during the first quarter of 2018 for approximately $27.4 million.

There can be no assurance that our customers will decide to and/or be able to proceed with these construction projects, or that we will ultimately recognize revenue from these projects in a timely manner or at all.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we had no material off-balance sheet arrangements other than operating leases to which the Company or its subsidiary is a party.

In the ordinary course of business, we enter into agreements with third parties that include indemnification provisions which, in its judgment, are normal and customary for companies in its industry sector. These agreements are typically with consultants and vendors. Pursuant to these agreements, we generally agree to indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse the other parties for losses suffered or incurred by such parties with respect to actions taken or omitted by the Company. The maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification provisions is unlimited. We have not incurred material costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification provisions. As a result, the estimated fair value of liabilities relating to these provisions is minimal. Accordingly, we have no liabilities recorded for these provisions as of June 30, 2018.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts. The estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and on other factors that management believes to be reasonable. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Critical accounting policies represent the areas where more significant judgments and estimates are used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements. A discussion of such critical accounting policies, which include share-based payments, derivative instruments, goodwill, intangible assets and revenue recognition, can be found in our 2017 Form 10-K. On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” for a discussion, see Note 3 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. There have been no other material changes in critical accounting policies from those disclosed in the 2017 Form 10-K.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

In addition to our results under GAAP, we also present EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for historical periods. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures and have been presented as supplemental measures of financial performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. We calculate EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, income tax benefit (expense), depreciation and amortization. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA before certain non-recurring adjustments such as loss on conversion of convertible debentures, change in fair value of financial instruments and stock compensation expense.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are presented because they are important metrics used by management as one of the means by which it assesses our financial performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are also frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry. These measures, when used in conjunction with related GAAP financial measures, provide investors with an additional financial analytical framework that may be useful in assessing our Company and our results of operations.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have certain limitations. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss), or any other measures of financial performance derived in accordance with GAAP. These measures also should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items for which these non-GAAP measures make adjustments. Additionally, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not intended to be liquidity measures because of certain limitations, including, but not limited to:

Other companies, including other companies in our industry, may not use such measures or may calculate one or more of the measures differently than as presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure.

In evaluating EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we will incur expenses that are the same or similar to some of the adjustments made in our calculations, and our presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed to mean that our future results will be unaffected by such adjustment. Management compensates for these limitations by using EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as supplemental financial metrics and in conjunction with our results prepared in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP information should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes.

The following is a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to the nearest GAAP measure, net loss:

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management, with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Evaluation Date”). Based upon that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

The Principal Executive Officer and the Principal Financial Officer believe that the condensed consolidated financial statements and other information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q present fairly, in all material respects, our business, financial condition and results of operations.
