1. ORGANIZATION AND 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 consolidated financial statements and footnotes since the date of acquisition through March 31, 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 months ended March 31, 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 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.

Segment Reporting

We currently operate in three segments based upon our organizational structure and the way in which our operations are managed and evaluated. The largest segment is residential operations which are projects smaller in size and shorter in duration. Our second operating segment is commercial operations 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 office that is responsible for general company oversight and management. Separating the corporate costs from the residential and commercial operations simplifies the performance evaluation of the Residential and Commercial 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 Accounting Standards Codification (“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 months ended March 31, 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, were 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 commissions, labor 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 quarter ended March 31, 2022, the Company recognized revenue of $1,403 that was included in contract liabilities as of December 31, 2021. During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, the Company recognized revenue of $1,470 that was included in contract liabilities as of December 31, 2020.

The following table represents the average percentage of completion as of March 31, 2022 for EPC projects that the Company is constructing. The Company expects to recognize $16,186 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 months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

As of March 31, 2022, the potentially dilutive securities that have been excluded from the computations of weighted average shares outstanding include 282,433 stock options and 1,226,430 unvested RSUs.

As of March 31, 2021, the potentially dilutive securities that have been excluded from the computations of weighted average shares outstanding include 88,411 stock options and 210,000 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 three months ended March 31, 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 Inc., 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 months ended March 31, 2021, we recorded total transaction costs related to the Solcius Acquisition of $710. These expenses were accounted for separately from the net assets acquired and were included in general and administrative expense for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

We will continue to conduct assessments of the net assets acquired and recognized amounts for identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated acquisition date fair values. We expect that our assessment will be finalized in the second quarter of 2022.

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 the quarters ended March 31, 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 proforma adjustments include the elimination of Solcius Acquisition transaction expenses totaling $710 incurred in the first quarter of 2021, and adjustments to recognize amortization of intangible assets, retention stock-based compensation programs and retention bonus accruals in 2022 and 2021. The retention bonus expense is recognized over the first year following the Solcius Acquisition.

IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON OUR BUSINESS

The continued global novel coronavirus and its variants (COVID-19) pandemic, has resulted in significant governmental measures being implemented to control the spread of the virus, including quarantines, travel restrictions and business shutdowns. The uncertain macroeconomic environment created by the COVID-19 pandemic has had and may continue to have a significant, adverse impact on our business. To assist readers in reviewing management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, we provide the following discussion regarding the effects COVID-19 has had on the Company, what management expects the future impact to be, how we are responding to evolving circumstances and how we are planning for further COVID-19 uncertainties.

State and local directives, guidelines, and other restrictions, as well as consumer behavior, continue to impact our operations in the regions in which we operate, particularly California. During 2022 and 2021 we continued to serve customers. COVID-19 and the governmental directives materially disrupted the operations of the local and state governments by closing or restricting operations at city, county and state offices for design reviews, permitting projects, and inspections of projects. Utility companies have been unable to provide timely shutdowns, inspections and interconnection approvals. This disruption negatively impacts our ability to complete projects, generate revenue on projects in backlog and causes many customers to delay decisions on new projects.

Our revenue and gross profit for the first three months of 2022 were negatively impacted by governmental responses to the COVID-19 pandemic, which delayed pre-construction approvals and installation activity for our larger public works, agriculture and commercial projects by delaying approvals. Earlier governmental orders and social distancing guidelines slowed our sales process, as our customers avoided interacting with our sales and installation personnel and delayed buying decisions.

We received a loan under the Paycheck Protection Program of $2,847 which was used to pay for payroll costs, interest on debt, rent, utilities, and group health care benefits, allowing the Company to focus on revenue generating activities in an effort to mitigate some of the impact COVID-19 has on our business. The entire principal of the loan and all accrued interest was forgiven in June of 2021.

Although there is uncertainty around the continued impact and severity the COVID-19 pandemic has had, and will continue to have, on our operations, these developments and measures have negatively affected our business, including a negative impact on the supply chain upon which we rely on to operate. We will continue to manage the impact through appropriate operational measures.

As the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects evolve, we are monitoring our business to ensure that our expenses are in line with expected cash generation. The extent to which our results are affected by the COVID-19 pandemic will largely depend on future developments which cannot be accurately predicted and are uncertain, but the COVID-19 pandemic has had and will continue to have an adverse effect on our business, operations, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Critical Accounting Estimates

We prepare our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses recorded in our financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carry values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.

These estimates may change as new events occur and additional information is obtained. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.

There were no significant changes in our critical accounting estimates during the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to those previously disclosed in “Critical Accounting Policies” and “Use of Estimates” in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2022 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2021

REVENUE AND COST OF GOODS SOLD

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, revenue increased to $31,196 compared to $6,169 for the same quarter in the prior year. The increase in residential revenue is a result of the Solcius Acquisition in April 2021. Approximately 87% of revenue was from installations for the residential markets, or $26,999, compared to 25% of revenue, or $1,530 for the same quarter in the prior year. Commercial and public works revenue was approximately 13% of total revenue or $4,197 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to 75% or $4,639 of revenue in the same period in the prior year.

Cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2022, was $17,164 compared to $6,078 reported for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase in cost of goods sold is primarily the result of increase in revenue compared to the prior period and the Solcius Acquisition.

Gross profit was $14,032 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $91 for the prior year period. The gross margin improved to 45.0% in the first quarter of 2022 compared to 1.5% in the first quarter 2021. The margin improvement is the result of the Solcius Acquisition combined with improved margin within the Commercial Solar Energy Segment in 2022. Prior year operating results were negatively impacted by COVID 19 and one time, project interconnection charges not required in the current year.

SELLING AND MARKETING EXPENSES

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company’s selling and marketing expenses were $12,229 compared to $1,231 for the same three months in 2021. As a percentage of revenue, selling and marketing expenses were 39.2% of revenue in the first quarter of 2022 compared to 20.0% of revenue in the same period in 2021. The increased expenses were largely related to the Solcius Acquisition and additional marketing spend for dealer commissions, advertising and branding. The Solcius sales and marketing model focuses on lead generation and effective interaction with a network of authorized dealers and third-party sales organizations. During the quarter we continued to invest in sales and marketing to expand our lead generation efforts and improve brand awareness. Additionally, these investments are targeted at positively impacting our ability to grow our in-house sales capability for residential markets.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

Total G&A expenses of $7,437 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, increased compared to $3,452 for the same period in the prior year. The G&A expenses increased from the prior year primarily as a result of the Solcius Acquisition in April 2021 and corporate overhead compensation cost.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION EXPENSES

During the three months ended March 31, 2022 we incurred $1,284 in total non-cash stock-based compensation expense, compared to $151 for the prior year period. The year over year increase in stock-based compensation is the result of the Company expanding RSU and stock option grants as part of the compensation structure to a broader population of employees.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION

Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022, was $1,283, compared to $65 for the prior year period. Depreciation and amortization expenses increased as a result of the identified intangible assets related to the Solcius Acquisition. The intangible assets are being amortized over the estimated useful lives of the specific assets, which have useful lives ranging from nine months to ten years. The amortization expense from the April 2021 Solcius Acquisition for the first three months of 2022 was $1,046.

OTHER EXPENSE

Other expense was $6 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $5 for the same three months in 2021. Interest expense for the first three months of 2021 was $9 for the Paycheck Protection Program loan. The 2022 interest expense is related to the ROU finance leased assets.

NET LOSS

The net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $8,207, compared to a net loss of $4,813 for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We had $19,455 in unrestricted cash at March 31, 2022, as compared to $19,719 at December 31, 2021. We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents is sufficient to meet our operating cash requirements and strategic objectives for growth for at least the next year. To satisfy our capital requirements, including acquisitions and ongoing operations, 12 months and longer into the future, we will likely seek to raise additional financing through debt and equity financings.

On January 27, 2021, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-252475) (the “Registration Statement”), with the SEC. The Registration Statement allows the Company to offer and sell, from time to time in one or more offerings, any combination of common stock, preferred stock, warrants, or units having an aggregate initial offering price not to exceed $100 million. The Registration Statement was declared effective by the SEC on February 3, 2021. From January 1, 2022 through the date of this filing we sold 3,541,087 shares with gross proceeds of approximately $10 million. Approximately $27 million of the $100 million total is available for future offerings pursuant to the Registration Statement.

As of March 31, 2022, our working capital surplus was $30,723 compared to a working capital surplus of $28,736 at December 31, 2021.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we used $7,801 of cash in operating activities compared to $5,425 used in operating activities for the prior year period. The cash used in operating activities was primarily the result of the current year net loss combined with investments in working capital to secure inventory to support growth and minimize the impacts of supply chain disruption.

Net cash used in investing activities totaled $168 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, for acquisition of vehicles and equipment. The cash used in investing activities for the same period in 2021 totaled $15 for minor equipment purchases.

Net cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $7,705. This increase was primarily due to net proceeds from sales of our common stock during the first three months of the current year.

Net cash provided by financing activities during the first three months of 2021 was $48,858. This was due entirely to net proceeds from the At the Market offerings

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 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Not Applicable.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered in this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all errors or fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. In addition, the design of any system of controls is based on assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies and procedures may deteriorate. Control systems can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal first quarter ended March 31, 2022 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

From time to time, the Company is involved in routine litigation that arises in the ordinary course of business. There are no pending significant legal proceedings to which the Company is a party for which management believes the ultimate outcome would have a negative impact on the Company’s financial position.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

The disclosure below supplements our risk factors from those disclosed in Part I, Item 1A in the Form 10-K. These risks and uncertainties, along with those previously disclosed, could materially adversely affect our business or financial results

Rising inflation may adversely affect us by increasing costs of materials, labor and other costs beyond what we can recover through price increases.

Inflation may adversely affect us by increasing the costs of materials, subcontractor costs, labor and other costs required to service customers, manage and grow our business. In the current inflationary environment, depending on the terms of our construction contracts and other economic conditions, we may be unable to raise contract prices enough to keep up with the rate of inflation, which would reduce our profit margins on jobs. If we are unable to increase our contract prices to offset the effects of inflation, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

In addition, inflation is often accompanied by higher interest rates. The impact of COVID-19 may increase uncertainty in the global financial markets, as well as the possibility of high inflation and extended economic downturn, which could reduce our ability to incur debt or access capital and impact our results of operations and financial condition even after these conditions improve. Further, inflation and rising interest rates may reduce home purchases and the spending power of the consumer, thus deterring future customers from engaging our services.

We depend on a limited number of suppliers, for certain critical raw materials, components and finished products, including our modules. Any supply interruption or delay could adversely affect our business, prevent us from delivering products to our customers within required timeframes, and could in turn result in sales and installation delays, cancellations, penalty payments, or loss of market share.

Our supply chain is subject to natural disasters and other events beyond our control, such as raw material, component, and labor shortages, global and regional shipping and logistics constraints, global conflicts or wars, work stoppages, epidemics or pandemics, earthquakes, floods, fires, volcanic eruptions, power outages, or other natural disasters, and the physical effects of climate change, including changes in weather patterns (including floods, fires, tsunamis, drought, and rainfall levels), water availability, storm patterns and intensities, and temperature levels. Human rights concerns, including forced labor and human trafficking, in foreign countries and associated governmental responses have the potential to disrupt our supply chain and our operations could be adversely impacted. For example, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security issued a withhold release order on June 24, 2021 applicable to silica-based products made by a major producer of polysilicon used by manufacturers of solar panels in China’s Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, over allegations of widespread, state-backed forced labor in the region. Although we do not believe that raw materials used in the products we sell are sourced from this or other regions with forced labor concerns, any delays or other supply chain disruption resulting from these concerns, associated governmental responses, or a desire to source products, components or materials from other manufacturers or regions could result in shipping, sales and installation delays, cancellations, penalty payments, or loss of revenue and market share, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition.

In addition, the United States currently imposes antidumping and countervailing duties on certain imported crystalline silicon PV cells and modules from China and Taiwan. Such antidumping and countervailing duties can change over time pursuant to annual reviews conducted by the U.S. Department of Commerce, and a decline in duty rates could have an adverse impact on our operating results. In February 2022, Auxin Solar Inc., a U.S. producer of crystalline silicon PV products, petitioned the U.S. Department of Commerce (“USDOC”) to investigate alleged circumvention of antidumping and countervailing duties on Chinese imports by crystalline silicon PV cells and module imports assembled and completed in Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam. We cannot predict what actions USDOC will take with respect to that petition. Our operating results could be adversely impacted if USDOC declines to investigate or makes negative circumvention determinations. Conversely, affirmative circumvention determinations could positively impact our operating results.
