1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

We provide photovoltaic (“PV”) and battery-based power and storage systems for the residential and commercial markets. Commercial projects include commercial, agricultural, industrial and public works projects. We operate in several residential and commercial markets including California, Utah, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Colorado, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and South Carolina. Through our operating subsidiaries, we design, arrange financing, integrate, install, and manage systems ranging in size from 2kW (kilowatt) for residential projects to multi-MW (megawatt) systems for larger commercial and public works projects. Commercial installations have included installations at office buildings, manufacturing plants, warehouses, service stations, churches, and agricultural facilities such as farms, wineries, and dairies. Public works installations have included school districts, local municipalities, federal facilities and higher education institutions.

On April 8, 2021, Sunworks, Inc., through its operating subsidiary Sunworks United (the “Buyer”), acquired all of the issued and outstanding membership interests (the “Solcius Acquisition”) of Solcius, from Solcius Holdings, LLC (“Seller”). Located in Provo, Utah, Solcius is a full-service, residential solar systems provider. The Company believes the Solcius Acquisition enhances economies of scale, leading to better access to suppliers, vendors and financial partners, as well as marketing and customer acquisition opportunities.

The Solcius Acquisition was consummated on April 8, 2021, pursuant to a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 8, 2021 (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and between Buyer and Seller. The purchase price for Solcius consisted of $51,750 in cash, subject to post-closing adjustments related to working capital, cash, indebtedness and transaction expenses. The acquired assets and operating results of Solcius are included in these condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes since the date of acquisition through September 30, 2022 (see Note 3).

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (“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 Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

This summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. These accounting policies conform to GAAP and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements.

There have been no significant changes in the Company’s accounting policies from those disclosed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Sunworks, Inc., and its wholly owned operating subsidiaries: Sunworks United Inc., Commercial Solar Energy, Inc. and Solcius LLC. All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation of these entities.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. The reclassifications impact historical cost of goods sold, depreciation, amortization and general and administrative expenses. During the quarter ended September 30, 2021, $201 of depreciation and $667 of backlog amortization previously reported in depreciation and amortization expense and $478 of costs previously reported in general and administrative expense are now reclassified to cost of goods sold. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, $407 of depreciation and $1,333 of backlog amortization previously reported in depreciation and amortization expense and $771 previously reported in general and administrative expense are now reclassified to cost of goods sold. Additionally, other reclassifications impact historical segment reporting disclosures as historical corporate payroll costs were moved from the commercial operations segment to the corporate segment for enhanced reporting disclosures.

Change in Accounting Estimate

In July 2022, we completed an assessment of the contract fulfillment costs that give rise to an asset for residential contracts. We determined that additional specifically identifiable costs related directly to residential contracts can be capitalized, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Section 340-40. The additional capitalized costs of approximately $2,794 as of September 30, 2022, include the allocation of costs that relate directly to the residential contracts. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the related capitalizable contract fulfillment costs were not material.

Segment Reporting

We currently operate in three segments based upon our organizational structure and the way in which our operations are managed and evaluated. Our largest segment is Residential Solar which are projects smaller in size and shorter in duration. Our second operating segment is Commercial Solar Energy which includes projects that are commonly larger in size and longer in duration serving commercial, industrial, agricultural and public works customers. Our third segment is the Corporate, which is responsible for general company oversight and management. Disaggregating the corporate costs from the residential and commercial operations simplifies the performance evaluation of the Residential Solar and Commercial Solar Energy segments.

Use of 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, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated 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, intangibles, impairments and estimations of long-lived assets, revenue recognition on construction contracts recognized over time, fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination, allowances for uncollectible accounts, finance lease right-of-use assets and liabilities, operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities, warranty reserves, 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.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue and related costs on construction contracts are recognized as the performance obligations for work are satisfied over time in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, revenue and associated profit, engineering, procurement and construction (“EPC”) projects for residential and smaller commercial systems that require us to deliver functioning solar power systems are generally completed within two to twelve months from commencement of construction. Construction on larger commercial projects may be completed within eighteen to thirty-six months, depending on the size and location. We recognize revenue from commercial EPC services over time as our performance creates or enhances an energy generation asset controlled by the customer.

For residential contracts, the Company recognizes revenue upon completion of the job as determined by final inspection. We recognize revenue for systems operations and maintenance over the term of the service period.

For commercial projects, we commence recognizing performance revenue when work starts on the job and continue recognizing revenue over time as work is performed based on the ratio of costs incurred, excluding modules and components, compared to the total estimated non-materials costs at completion of the performance obligations.

Judgment is required to evaluate assumptions including the amount of net contract revenue and the total estimated costs to determine the Company’s progress towards contract completion and to calculate the corresponding amount of revenue to recognize. If estimated total costs on any contract are greater than the net contract revenue, the Company recognizes the entire estimated loss in the period the loss becomes known.

Changes in estimates for commercial projects occur for a variety of reasons, including, but not limited to (i) construction plan accelerations or delays, (ii) product cost forecast changes, (iii) change orders, or (iv) changes in other information used to estimate costs. Changes in estimates may have a material effect in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. The table below outlines the impact on revenue of net changes in estimated transaction prices and input costs for systems related sales contracts (both increases and decreases) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 as well as the number of projects that comprise such changes. For purposes of the following table, only projects with changes in estimates that have an impact on revenue and/or cost of at least $100, calculated on a quarterly basis during the periods, are presented. Also included in the table is the net change in estimate as a percentage of the aggregate revenue for such projects.

SCHEDULE OF CHANGES IN ESTIMATE AGGREGATE REVENUE 

Contract Assets and Liabilities

Contract assets consist of (i) the earned, but unbilled, portion of a project for which payment is deferred by the customer until certain contractual milestones are met; (ii) direct costs, including all installation materials, commissions, installation labor, benefit related costs and permitting fees paid prior to recording revenue, and (iii) unbilled receivables which represent revenue that has been recognized in advance of billing the customer, which is common for larger construction contracts. Contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue, customer deposits and customer advances, which represent consideration received from a customer prior to transferring control of goods or services to the customer under the terms of a contract. Total contract assets and contract liabilities balances as of the respective dates are as follows:

  SCHEDULE OF CONTRACT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES 

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized revenue of $486 and $8,295, respectively, that was included in contract liabilities as of December 31, 2021. Prior to the Solcius Acquisition, the Commercial Solar Energy segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 recognized revenue of $1,942 and $4,376, respectively, that was included in contract liabilities as of December 31, 2020, respectively.

The following table represents the average percentage of completion as of September 30, 2022 for EPC projects that the Company is constructing. The Company expects to recognize $39,695 of revenue upon transfer of control of the projects.

SCHEDULE OF REVENUE RECOGNIZE UPON TRANSFER CONTROL OF PROJECTS  

Basic and Diluted Net (Loss) per Share Calculations

(Loss) per Share dictates the calculation of basic earnings (loss) per share and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing income (loss) available to holders of common stock by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the potential shares of common stock had been issued and if the additional shares of common stock were dilutive. The shares for employee options, restricted stock, warrants and convertible notes were not used in the calculation of the net loss per share.

A net loss causes all outstanding common stock options and unvested restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to be anti-dilutive. As a result, the basic and diluted losses per common share are the same for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

As of September 30, 2022, the potentially dilutive securities that have been excluded from the computations of weighted average shares outstanding include 236,720 stock options and 1,080,914 unvested RSUs.

As of September 30, 2021, the potentially dilutive securities that have been excluded from the computations of weighted average shares outstanding include 307,698 stock options and 317,500 unvested RSUs.

Dilutive per share amounts are computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding and potentially dilutive securities, using the treasury stock method, if their effect would be dilutive.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Management reviewed currently issued pronouncements during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and believes that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would not have a material effect on the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

3. BUSINESS ACQUISITION

On April 8, 2021, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company, through its operating subsidiary Sunworks United, acquired all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Solcius from the Seller. Located in Provo, Utah, Solcius is a full-service residential solar systems provider.

The purchase price for Solcius consisted of $51,750 in cash subject to post-closing adjustments related to working capital, cash, indebtedness and transaction expenses. The Solcius Acquisition was accounted for under ASC 805 and the financial results of Solcius have been included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements since the date of the Solcius Acquisition.

Purchase Price Allocation

Under the purchase method of accounting, the transaction was valued for accounting purposes at $52,111 which was the fair value of Solcius at the time of acquisition. The assets and liabilities of Solcius were recorded at their respective fair values as of the date of acquisition. The Company utilized the services of a valuation specialist to assist in identifying $15,600 of separately identifiable intangible assets. Any difference between the cost of Solcius 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:

 SCHEDULE OF BUSINESS ACQUISITION LIABILITIES AND ASSETS ACQUIRED 

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded no transaction costs related to the Solcius Acquisition. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded transaction costs of $25 and $774 related to the Solcius Acquisition, respectively. These expenses were accounted for separately from the net assets acquired and were included in general and administrative expense for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

We conducted an assessment of the net assets acquired and recognized amounts for identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated acquisition date fair values and concluded that no additional adjustment to the purchase price allocation or accounting was required from the original purchase accounting.

Pro Forma Information (Unaudited)

The results of operations for the Solcius Acquisition since the April 8, 2021 closing date have been included in our consolidated financial statements. The following unaudited pro forma financial information represents a summary of the condensed consolidated results of operations for three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, assuming the Solcius Acquisition had been completed as of January 1, 2020. The pro forma financial information includes certain non-recurring pro forma adjustments that were directly attributable to the business combination. The pro forma adjustments include the elimination of Solcius Acquisition transaction expenses totaling $774 incurred in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, and adjustments to recognize amortization of intangible assets, retention stock-based compensation programs and retention bonus accruals in the 2022 and 2021 periods. The retention bonus expense is recognized over the first year following the Solcius Acquisition. The pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved if the Solcius Acquisition had been effective as of these dates, or of future results.

5. OPERATING SEGMENTS

Beginning in 2022, the Company assessed its operating segment disclosure based on ASC 280, Segment Reporting, guidance. As a result, the following segments were established: Residential Solar, Commercial Solar Energy, and Corporate.

Residential Solar

Through our Solcius operating subsidiary, we design, arrange financing, integrate, install, and manage systems, primarily for residential homeowners. We sell residential solar systems through multiple channels, through our network of sales channel partners as well as a growing direct sales channel strategy. We operate in several residential markets including California, Utah, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Colorado, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and South Carolina. We have direct sales and/or operations personnel in California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Colorado, South Carolina, Wisconsin and Minnesota.

Commercial Solar Energy

Through our CSE subsidiary, we design, arrange financing, integrate, install, and manage systems ranging in size from 50kW (kilowatt) to multi-MW (megawatt) systems primarily for larger commercial and public works projects. Commercial installations have included installations at office buildings, manufacturing plants, warehouses, service stations, churches, and agricultural facilities such as farms, wineries, and dairies. Public works installations have included school districts, local municipalities, federal facilities and higher education institutions. Historically, the CSE subsidiary participated in the California Residential solar market. Following the Solcius Acquisition, all new residential sales are managed under the Solcius brand. Due to materiality, the Company will continue to report the remaining backlog of residential projects from CSE in the Commercial Solar Energy segment, which is expected to be fulfilled within the next year. CSE primarily operates in California.

Segment net revenue, segment operating expenses and segment contribution (loss) information consisted of the following for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

SCHEDULE OF SEGMENT REPORTING INFORMATION, BY SEGMENT
