SUNWORKS, INC. AND (FORMERLY SOLAR3D, INC)

CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

MARCH 31, 2016

(in thousands, except share and per share data)

 

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016. For further information refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

 

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

This summary of significant accounting policies of Sunworks, Inc. is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Sunworks, Inc., and its wholly owned operating subsidiaries, Sunworks United, Inc., MD Energy, Inc., and Elite Solar Acquisition Sub, Inc. All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation of these entities.

 

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, 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 include estimates used to review the Company’s goodwill, impairments and estimations of long-lived assets, revenue recognition on percentage of completion type contracts, allowances for uncollectible accounts, inventory valuation, debt beneficial conversion features, valuations of non-cash capital stock issuances and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenues and related costs on construction contracts are recognized using the “percentage of completion method” of accounting in accordance with ASC 605-35, Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production Type Contracts (“ASC 605-35”). Under this method, contract revenues and related expenses are recognized over the performance period of the contract in direct proportion to the costs incurred as a percentage of total estimated costs for the entirety of the contract. Costs include direct material, direct labor, subcontract labor and any allocable indirect costs. All un-allocable indirect costs and corporate general and administrative costs are charged to the periods as incurred. However, in the event a loss on a contract is foreseen, the Company will recognize the loss, as it is determined. The Asset, “Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings”, represents revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed on contracts in progress. The Liability, “Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings”, represents billings in excess of revenues recognized on contracts in progress.

 

The Asset, “Costs in excess of billings”, represents revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed on contracts in progress. The Liability, “Billings in excess of costs”, represents billings in excess of revenues recognized on contracts in progress. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the costs in excess of billings balance were $5,678 and $2,130, and the billings in excess of costs balance were $1,931 and $1,990, respectively.

Table of Contents

 

Cash and Cash Equivalent

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Concentration Risk

 

Cash includes amounts deposited in financial institutions in excess of insurable Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) limits. At times throughout the year, the Company may maintain cash balances in certain bank accounts in excess of FDIC limits. As of March 31, 2016, the cash balance in excess of the FDIC limits was $5,918. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk in these accounts.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market and is determined by the first-in, first-out method. Inventory primarily consists of panels and other materials.

 

Advertising and Marketing

 

The Company expenses advertising and marketing costs as incurred. Advertising and marketing costs include printed material, direct mail, radio, telemarketing, tradeshow costs, magazine and catalog advertisement. Advertising and marketing costs for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 were $1,202 and $1,113, respectively.

 

Research and Development Costs

 

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. These costs consist primarily of consulting fees, salaries and direct payroll related costs. The costs for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 were $0 and $29, respectively.

 

Warranty Liability

 

The Company establishes warranty liability reserves to provide for estimated future expenses as a result of installation and product defects, product recalls and litigation incidental to the Company’s business. Liability estimates are determined based on management’s judgment, considering such factors as historical experience, the likely current cost of corrective action, manufacturers’ and subcontractors’ participation in sharing the cost of corrective action, consultations with third party experts such as engineers, and discussions with the Company’s general counsel and outside counsel retained to handle specific product liability cases. Solar panel manufacturers currently provide substantial warranties between ten to twenty-five years with full reimbursement to replace and install replacement panels while inverter manufacturers currently provide warranties covering ten to fifteen year replacement and installation. Warranty costs and associated liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 were $13 and $0, respectively.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company periodically issues stock options and warrants to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and for financing costs. The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to employees based on the authoritative guidance provided by the Financial Accounting Standards Board whereas the value of the award is measured on the date of grant and recognized over the vesting period. The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to non-employees in accordance with the authoritative guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board whereas the value of the stock compensation is based upon the measurement date as determined at either a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached, or b) at the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete. Non-employee stock-based compensation charges generally are amortized over the vesting period on a straight-line basis. In certain circumstances where there are no future performance requirements by the non-employee, option grants are immediately vested and the total stock-based compensation charge is recorded in the period of the measurement date.

 

Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) per Share Calculations

 

Income (Loss) per Share dictates the calculation of basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares available. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. The shares for employee options, warrants and convertible notes were used in the calculation of the income per share.

 

For the period ended March 31, 2016, the Company has excluded 899,574 options, 2,997,000 warrants outstanding, notes convertible into 3,194,279 shares of common stock, and Series B preferred stock convertible into 1,506,024 shares of common stock because their impact on the loss per share is anti-dilutive. For the period ended March 31, 2015, the Company has excluded 957,266 options, 3,000,000 warrants outstanding, and notes convertible into 4,424,515 shares of common stock because their impact on the loss per share is anti-dilutive.

 

Contracts Receivable

 

The Company performs ongoing credit evaluation of its customers. Management closely monitors outstanding receivables based on factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends, and other information, and records bad debts using the direct write-off method. Generally accepted accounting principles require the allowance method be used to reflect bad debts, however, the effect of the use of the direct write-off method is not materially different from the results that would have been obtained had the allowance method been followed. Accounts receivable are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $0 at March 31, 2016, and 2015.

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation for property and equipment commences when it’s put into service and are depreciated using the straight line method over its estimated useful lives:

 

Machinery & equipment 5 Years
Furniture & fixtures 5-7 Years
Computer equipment 3-5 Years
Vehicles 5-7 Years
Leaseholder improvements 3-5 Years

 

Depreciation expense as of March 31, 2016 and 2015 was $46 and $5 respectively.

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company reviews its property and equipment and any identifiable intangibles for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The test for impairment is required to be performed by management at least annually. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted operating cash flow 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 asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

 

Indefinite Lived Intangibles and Goodwill Assets

 

The Company accounts for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations,” where the total purchase price is allocated to the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The purchase price is allocated using the information currently available, and may be adjusted, up to one year from acquisition date, after obtaining more information regarding, among other things, asset valuations, liabilities assumed and revisions to preliminary estimates. The purchase price in excess of the fair value of the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired less liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill.

 

The Company tests for indefinite lived intangibles and goodwill impairment in the fourth quarter of each year and whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value and may not be recoverable. In accordance with its policies, the Company performed a qualitative assessment of indefinite lived intangibles and goodwill at December 31, 2015 and determined there was no impairment of indefinite lived intangibles and goodwill.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Disclosures about fair value of financial instruments, requires disclosure of the fair value information, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, where it is practicable to estimate that value. As of March 31, 2016, the amounts reported for cash, accrued interest and other expenses, and notes payable approximate the fair value because of their short maturities.

 

We adopted ASC Topic 820 as of January 1, 2008 for financial instruments measured as fair value on a recurring basis. ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, established a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC Topic 820 established a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). These tiers include:

 

  Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;
     
  Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and
     
  Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

 

We measure certain financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis. As of March 31, 2015, all level 3 liabilities were measured and recorded at fair value.

Segment Reporting

 

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available and evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision making group, in deciding the method to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company currently has one reportable segment for financial reporting purposes, which represents the Company’s core business.

 

Recently adopted pronouncements

 

In January 2016, FASB amended the guidance for recognition and measurement of financial assets and liabilities. These amendments address certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. The adoption of this guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those years. Early adoption of certain provisions of this guidance is permitted as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. Entities should apply these amendments by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The amendments related to equity securities without readily determinable fair value should be applied prospectively to equity investments that exist as of the date of adoption. The Company does not expect this guidance to have a significant impact on the results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 816).” ASU 2016-09 simplifies several aspects of accounting for share-based compensation including the tax consequences, classification of awards as equity or liabilities, forfeitures and classification on the statement of cash flows. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of adoption this ASU. The Company does not expect this guidance to have a significant impact on the results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

 

Management reviewed currently issued pronouncements during the three months ended March 31, 2016, and does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying condensed financial statements.

 

3. BUSINESS ACQUISITION

 

MD Energy, LLC (MDE)

 

On March 2, 2015, the Company acquired 100% of the tangible and intangible assets of MD Energy, LLC (MD Energy), for cash in the amount of $850, a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $2,650, and payment of working capital surplus in the amount of $437. The acquisition was accounted for under ASC 805. MD Energy designs, monitors and maintains solar systems, but outsources the physical construction of the systems. MD Energy is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

Under the purchase method of accounting, the transactions were valued for accounting purposes at $3,937, which was the fair value of the Company at time of acquisition. Since the Company determined there were no other separately identifiable intangible assets, any difference between the cost of the acquired entity and the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. The acquisition date estimated fair value of the consideration transferred consisted of the following:

 

Closing cash payment  $850 
Working capital surplus   437 
Convertible promissory notes   2,650 
Total purchase price  $3,937

Plan B Enterprises, Inc. (Plan B)

 

On December 1, 2015, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding stock of Plan B Enterprises, Inc., a California corporation and d/b/a Elite Solar, Universal Racking Solutions (collectively, “Plan B”) whereby Plan B was merged with and into Elite Solar Acquisition Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Acquisition Sub”) for $2,500 cash, net of recoverable of $137, and by issuance of 1,506,024 shares of convertible preferred stock in the principal amount of $4,500. The acquisition was accounted for under ASC 805. Plan B provides solar photovoltaic installation and consulting services to residential, commercial and agricultural properties.

 

Under the purchase method of accounting, the transactions were valued for accounting purposes at $7,000, which was the fair value of Plan B at time of acquisition. The assets and liabilities of Plan B were recorded at their respective fair values as of the date of acquisition. Since the Company determined there were no other separately identifiable intangible assets, any difference between the cost of the acquired entity and the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. The acquisition date estimated fair value of the consideration transferred consisted of the following:

 

Closing cash payment, net of recoverable of $137.  $2,363 
Preferred share value / Series B   4,500 
Total purchase price   6,863 
      
Tangible assets acquired   5,203 
Liabilities assumed   (3,674)
Net tangible assets   1,529 
Goodwill   4,834 
Other intangible assets   500 
Total purchase price  $6,863 

 

The above estimated fair value of the intangible assets of MDE and Plan B is based on a preliminary purchase price allocation prepared by management. As a result, during the preliminary purchase price allocation period, which may be up to one year from the business combination date, we may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. After the preliminary purchase price allocation period, we record adjustments to assets acquired or liabilities assumed subsequent to the purchase price allocation period in our operating results in the period in which the adjustments were determined.

5. ACQUISITION CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES

 

On January 31, 2014, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement providing for the sale of four 4% convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $1,750 as part of the consideration paid to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding stock of Sunworks United. The notes are convertible at any time after issuance into shares of fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock. The conversion price is $0.52 per share until March 30, 2015, which was amended to extend to March 31, 2016. The Notes were five (5) year notes and bore interest at the rate of 4% per annum. In February and March 2014, $625 of the notes was converted into 1,201,923 shares of common stock, leaving a remaining balance of $1,125 as of December 31, 2014. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2015, the Company issued 721,154 shares of common stock upon conversion of principal in the amount of $375. The principal balance remaining as of December 31, 2015 was $750. The Company recorded amortization of the beneficial conversion feature as interest expense in the amount of $0 and $234 during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. As of March 31, 2016, the notes were fully converted to 1,442,308 shares of common stock.

 

On February 28, 2015, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement providing for the sale of a 4% convertible promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $2,650 as part of the consideration paid to acquire 100% of the total outstanding stock of MD Energy. The note is convertible into shares of common stock on or after each of the following dates: November 30, 2015, November 30, 2016 and November 30, 2017. The conversion price shall be $2.60 per share. A beneficial conversion feature of $2,650 was calculated and capped at the value of the note based on effective conversion price of $3.20. In November 2015, the Company issued 339,743 shares of common stock upon conversion of the principal amount of $883. Commencing on March 31, 2015, and each quarter thereafter during the first two (2) years of the note, the Company will make quarterly interest only payments to the shareholder for accrued interest on the Note during the quarter. Commencing with the quarter ending on June 30, 2017, the Company will make quarterly payments of interest accrued on the Note during the prior quarter plus $221, with the final payment of all outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest on the Note due and payable on February 28, 2020 (the maturity date). The Company recorded amortization of the beneficial conversion feature as interest expense in the amount of $240 during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and $112 during the three months ended March 31, 2015. The debt discount will be amortized over the life of the Convertible Note, or until such time that the Convertible Notes are converted, in full or in part, into shares of common stock of the Company with any unamortized debt discount continuing to be amortized in the event of any partial conversion thereof and any unamortized debt discount being expensed at such time of full conversion thereof.

 

We evaluated the foregoing financing transactions in accordance with ASC Topic 470, Debt with Conversion and Other Options, and determined that the conversion feature of the convertible promissory note was afforded the exemption for conventional convertible instruments due to its fixed conversion rate. The convertible promissory notes have explicit limits on the number of shares issuable so they did meet the conditions set forth in current accounting standards for equity classification. The convertible promissory notes were issued with non-detachable conversion options that are beneficial to the investors at inception, because the conversion option has an effective strike price that is less than the market price of the underlying stock at the commitment date. The accounting for the beneficial conversion feature requires that the beneficial conversion feature be recognized by allocating the intrinsic value of the conversion option to additional paid-in-capital, resulting in a discount on the convertible notes, which will be amortized and recognized as interest expense.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to impairment of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, deferred tax assets and fair value computation using the Black Scholes option pricing model. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions, such as the trading value of our common stock and estimated future undiscounted cash flows, that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions; however, we believe that our estimates, including those for the above-described items, are reasonable.

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, 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 include estimates used to review the Company’s goodwill, impairments and estimations of long-lived assets, revenue recognition on percentage of completion type contracts, allowances for uncollectible accounts, inventory valuation, valuations of non-cash capital stock issuances and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Revenues and related costs on construction contracts are recognized using the “percentage of completion method” of accounting in accordance with ASC 605-35, Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production Type Contracts (“ASC 605-35”). Under this method, contract revenues and related expenses are recognized over the performance period of the contract in direct proportion to the costs incurred as a percentage of total estimated costs for the entirety of the contract. Costs include direct material, direct labor, subcontract labor and any allocable indirect costs. All un-allocable indirect costs and corporate general and administrative costs are charged to the periods as incurred. However, in the event a loss on a contract is foreseen, the Company will recognize the loss, as it is determined. The Asset, “Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings”, represents revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed on contracts in progress. The Liability, “Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings”, represents billings in excess of revenues recognized on contracts in progress.

 

At March 31, 2016 and 2015, the costs in excess of billings balance was $5,678 and $2,130, and the billings in excess of costs balance was $1,931 and $1,990, respectively.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2016 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2015

 

Three months of Sunworks United (f/k/a Solar United Network), MD Energy and Plan B operations were consolidated into the Company’s financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2016. Three months of SUNworks operations and one month of MD Energy operations were consolidated into the Company’s financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2015.

 

REVENUE AND COST OF SALES

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, revenue for the Company increased by 246% to $19,572 compared to $5,658 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2016, was $13,724 compared to $3,717 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Revenue and cost of sales increased primarily due to the addition of 2 months of MD Energy plus 3 months of Plan B operations that were acquired compared to the prior year plus significant organic growth realized by the Sunworks United operations. Substantial efforts have been made year over year to drive sales in both the residential and commercial and agricultural markets.

 

Gross Profit for the Company nearly tripled to $5,848 compared to $1,941 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Gross Profit percentage fell to 30% in the first three months of 2016 compared to 34% for the first three months of 2015 due primarily to a higher percentage of commercial versus residential jobs, 67% in 2016 compared to 60% in 2015. Commercial jobs in general have smaller gross profit margins compared to residential jobs.

 

SELLING AND MARKETING EXPENSES

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company had selling and marketing expenses (“S&M”) expenses of $1,202, compared to $1,113 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. S&M expenses increased primarily due to revenue growth however as a percentage of revenue, S&M expenses decreased to 6% in the first quarter of 2016 compared to nearly 20% in the first quarter of 2015. We have specially-designed marketing efforts and tracking systems in place that enable us to attract new customers at a low cost and higher conversion rate than what we believe to be the industry average. We utilize several marketing tools and business strategies to differentiate ourselves from our competitors and attract new customers. The better productivity year over year has contributed to both higher sales and ending backlog.

 

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

 

General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses increased by $2,654 to $4,494, for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to $1,840 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. G&A expenses increased primarily due to the cost associated with 2 additional months of MD Energy and the full quarter of Plan B operations that were acquired, compared to the prior year plus expenses required to generate and administer the significant organic growth realized by the Sunworks United operations. On a percentage of revenue, G&A expenses decreased to 23% in the first quarter of 2016 compared to nearly 33% in the first quarter of 2015. During 2015, we incurred approximately $1.3 million in expenses associated with our secondary stock offering and subsequent uplisting from the OTCQB to NASDAQ.

 

Several new initiatives in the first quarter of 2016 include, but are not limited to, rebranding and reorganization to drive better branding and more efficient front and back office operations, creating a new residential design center, opening a separate call center, start-up operations with additional personnel and vehicles to expand residential operations with new California offices in Chico and the South Bay plus commercial operations in Turlock. Many of these G&A expenses proceed realized revenue growth.

 

With each acquisition, we also look to transition the majority of back office functions to our corporate headquarters to reduce costs and make our operations consistent across our subsidiaries. We believe that our strategy of consolidating such functions as purchasing, supplier relations, accounting, human resources and other basic functions help to realize cost reductions and strategic synergies with the expectation of generating in excess of $100 million in revenue for the full year 2016.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

 

Research and development costs for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 were $0 and $25, respectively. These costs were associated with research and patent work for a 3-dimensional solar cell. The novel 3D cell is still in the development stage.

 

OTHER INCOME/(EXPENSES)

 

Other expenses increased by $139 to $530 for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to $391 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. In the first quarter of 2016 we incurred approximately $115 of cash taxes in the state of California for the prior year that were not accrued compared to none the prior year. In the first quarter of 2015 we recognized a $69 non-cash gain in the fair value change of a derivative liability and $0 in 2016. Interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, decreased to $265 from $456 for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, primarily the result of lower non-cash beneficial conversion feature treated as interest for convertible promissory notes.

 

NET LOSS

 

Net loss decreased by $1,025 to $378 for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to a loss of $1,403 for the prior three months ended March 31, 2015. The decrease year over year in net loss was primarily the result of higher absolute gross profit and a lower percentage of operating expenses. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we incurred approximately three weeks of lost installation days related to rain events which was more than twice the lost days in the same period of 2015. This resulted in lower revenue and gross profit and a net loss instead of net income.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

We had $6.4 million in cash at March 31, 2016, as compared to $12.0 million at December 31, 2015. We believe that the aggregate of our existing cash, in addition to the funds available under our debt agreements and funds expected to be generated from accounts receivable will be sufficient to meet our operating cash requirements for at least the next 12 months.

 

As of March 31, 2016, our working capital surplus of $11,686 was slightly higher than the surplus of $11,674 at March 31, 2015. There was a shift between cash, accounts receivable, costs in excess of billings and inventory on the asset side as projects that started later in the quarter utilized cash resources.

 

Cash flow used in operating activities was $5,095 for the three months ended March 31, 2016, as compared to cash used of $256 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. This decrease of cash used in operating activities was primarily attributable to higher accounts receivable, costs in excess of billings and inventory on the asset side as projects that started later in the quarter utilized cash resources.

 

Cash used in investing activities was $562 for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to $506 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. In 2016 all of our investing was for property, plant and equipment compared to primarily acquisition related in the first quarter of 2015

 

Net cash provided from financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $40 as compared to cash provided of $11,578 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The higher amount in 2015 was due to equity financing through the issuance of new common shares.

 

On December 31, 2015, we entered into a $2.5 million Credit Facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. Availability under the Credit Facility is a Line of Credit with a Letter of Credit Sublimit up to $2.5 million. The Company accessed $2.0 million that was repaid in less than a week over the period ended March 31, 2016 similar to $1.8 million that was drawn over the period ending December 31, 2015 and repaid in early January 2016. The Note matures on November 30, 2017, but may be cancelled at any time by the Company. Loans are secured by a security interest in the Company’s account held with the Lender. Interest on any unpaid balance accrues at the Prime Rate; provided that, on any given day, shall not be less than the Adjusted One Month LIBOR rate. Until the maturity date, the Company shall pay monthly interest only. While we currently generate sufficient cash to meet our operating cash requirements, we have the ability to access cash under the credit facility should our management determine to do so.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, results of operations, liquidity, or capital expenditures.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Pursuant to Rules 13a-15(b) and 15-d-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), the Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (“CEO/CFO”) of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. The term “disclosure controls and procedures”, as defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

As disclosed in our annual report filing for the year ended December 31, 2015, there was a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting due to the fact that the Company had a lack of segregation of duties and failure to implement accounting controls of acquired businesses. Based upon the evaluation of the disclosure controls and procedures at the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s CEO/CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

To address the material weaknesses, we performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures in an effort to ensure our consolidated financial statements included in this annual report have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15f of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the first three months of 2016 that has materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

Limitations on Internal Controls

 

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their
