1. BUSINESS ORGANIZATION, NATURE OF OPERATIONS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

 

Organization and Operations

 

Blink Charging Co., through its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “Blink”), is a leading owner, operator, and provider of electric vehicle (“EV”) charging equipment and networked EV charging services. Blink offers residential and commercial EV charging equipment, enabling EV drivers to recharge at various location types. Blink’s principal line of products and services is its Blink EV charging network (the “Blink Network”) and Blink EV charging equipment, also known as electric vehicle supply equipment (“EVSE”) and other EV-related services. The Blink Network provides property owners, managers, parking companies, and state and municipal entities (“Property Partners”) with cloud-based services that enable the remote monitoring and management of EV charging stations. The Blink Network also provides EV drivers with vital station information, including station location, availability and fees.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) which are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company as of June 30, 2021 and for the six months then ended. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year ending December 31, 2021 or any other period. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related disclosures of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and for the year then ended, which were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 31, 2021 as part of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Covid-19 pandemic has impacted global stock markets and economies. The Company continues to closely monitors the impact of the continuing presence of Covid-19 and multiple Covid-19 variants. The Company has taken precautions to ensure the safety of its employees, customers and business partners, while assuring business continuity and reliable service and support to its customers. The Company continues to receive orders for its products, although some shipments of equipment have been temporarily delayed. The global chip shortage has caused some delays in the delivery of equipment orders from the Company’s contract manufacturer. As federal, state and local economies begin to return to pre-pandemic levels and with vaccines being administered, the Company expects demand for charging station usage to increase, however the Company is unable to predict the extent of such recovery due to the recent increase in infection rates of Covid-19. As a result, the Company is unable to predict the ultimate impact equipment order delays, chip shortage and continuous presence of Covid-19 will have on its business, future results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Since the period covered by the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, there have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies, except as disclosed in this note.

 

INVESTMENTS

 

Available-for-sale debt securities are recorded at fair value with the net unrealized gains and losses (that are deemed to be temporary) reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss). Realized gains and losses and charges for other-than-temporary impairments are included in determining net income, with related purchase costs based on the first-in, first-out method. The Company evaluates its available-for-sale-investments for possible other-than-temporary impairments by reviewing factors such as the extent to which, and length of time, an investment’s fair value has been below the Company’s cost basis, the issuer’s financial condition, and the Company’s ability and intent to hold the investment for sufficient time for its market value to recover. For impairments that are other-than-temporary, an impairment loss is recognized in earnings equal to the difference between the investment’s cost and its fair value at the balance sheet date of the reporting period for which the assessment is made. The fair value of the investment then becomes the new amortized cost basis of the investment and it is not adjusted for subsequent recoveries in fair value.

 

The following is a summary of the unrealized gains, losses, and fair value by investment type as of June 30, 2021:

 

   June 30, 2021 
   Amortized Cost   Gross Unrealized Gains   Gross Unrealized Losses   Fair Value 
Fixed income  $53,608,099    38,014   $(81,513)  $53,564,600 

 

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

 

The Company’s reporting currency is the United States dollar. The functional currency of certain subsidiaries is the Euro. Assets and liabilities are translated based on the exchange rates at the balance sheet date (1.1886) as of June 30, 2021, while expense accounts are translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the period (1.2097) for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Equity accounts are translated at historical exchange rates. The resulting translation adjustments are recognized in stockholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the change in equity of an entity from all sources other than investments by owners or distributions to owners and includes foreign currency translation adjustments as described above.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

REVENUE RECOGNITION

 

The Company recognizes revenue primarily from five different types of contracts:

 

Charging service revenue – company-owned charging stations - Revenue is recognized at the point when a particular charging session is completed.
Product sales – Revenue is recognized at the point where the customer obtains control of the goods and the Company satisfies its performance obligation, which generally is at the time it ships the product to the customer.
Network fees and other – Represents a stand-ready obligation whereby the Company is obligated to perform over a period of time and, as a result, revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the contract term. Network fees are billed annually.
Ride-sharing services – Primarily related to ride-sharing services agreement with the City of Los Angeles which allows customers the ability to rent electric vehicles through a subscription service. The Company recognizes revenue over the contractual period of performance of the subscription.
Other – Primarily related to charging service revenue from non-company-owned charging stations. Revenue is recognized from non-company-owned charging stations at the point when a particular charging session is completed in accordance with a contractual relationship between the Company and the owner of the station. Other revenues also comprises revenues generated from alternative fuel credits.

 

The following table summarizes revenue recognized under ASC 606 in the condensed consolidated statements of operations:

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – CONTINUED

 

REVENUE RECOGNITION - CONTINUED

 

The timing of the Company’s revenue recognition may differ from the timing of payment by its customers. A receivable is recorded when revenue is recognized prior to payment and the Company has an unconditional right to payment. Alternatively, when payment precedes the provision of the related goods or services, the Company records deferred revenue until the performance obligations are satisfied.

 

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had $1,210,080 related to contract liabilities where performance obligations have not yet been satisfied, which has been included within deferred revenue on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2021. The Company expects to satisfy its remaining performance obligations for network fees and warranty revenue and recognize the revenue within the next twelve months.

 

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recognized $118,801 and $246,729, respectively, of revenues related to network fees and warranty contracts, which were included in deferred revenues as of December 31, 2020. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, there was no revenue recognized from performance obligations satisfied (or partially satisfied) in previous periods.

 

Grants and rebates which are not within the scope of ASC 606, pertaining to revenues and periodic expenses are recognized as income when the related revenue and/or periodic expense are recorded. Grants and rebates related to EV charging stations and their installation are deferred and amortized in a manner consistent with the related depreciation expense of the related asset over the useful life of the charging station. During the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized $74,067 and $3,912, respectively, related to grant and rebate revenue. During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized $224,302 and $8,491, respectively, related to grant and rebate revenue. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there was $69,792 and $70,356, respectively, of deferred grant and rebate revenue to be amortized.

 

CONCENTRATIONS

 

As of June 30, 2021, a significant customer represented 10% of total accounts receivable. Another significant customer represented 23% of total accounts receivable.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, sales to a significant customer represented 12% of total revenue. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, revenues from one significant customer represented 30% and 45%, respectively, of total revenues. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, revenues from another significant customer represented 11% and 10%, respectively, of total revenues.

 

GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

 

Goodwill is the excess of consideration paid for an acquired entity over the amounts assigned to assets acquired, including other identifiable intangible assets, and liabilities assumed in a business combination. To determine the amount of goodwill resulting from a business combination, the Company performs an assessment to determine the acquisition date fair value of the acquired company’s tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities.

 

Goodwill is required to be evaluated for impairment on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the asset may be impaired. An entity has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. These qualitative factors include: macroeconomic and industry conditions, cost factors, overall financial performance and other relevant entity-specific events. If the entity determines that this threshold is met, then the Company may apply a one-step quantitative test and record the amount of goodwill impairment as the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The Company determines fair value through multiple valuation techniques and weights the results accordingly. The Company is required to make certain subjective and complex judgments in assessing whether an event of impairment of goodwill has occurred, including assumptions and estimates used to determine the fair value of its reporting units. The Company has elected to perform its annual goodwill impairment review on November 1 of each year.

 

As of June 30, 2021, there were no indicators, events or changes in circumstances that would indicate goodwill was impaired during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

 

Identifiable intangible assets primarily include trade name, customer relationships, favorable leases, internally developed technology, capitalized engineering costs and non-compete agreements. Amortizable intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives and reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets may be impaired. If an indicator of impairment exists, the Company will compare the estimated future cash flows of the asset, on an undiscounted basis, to the carrying value of the asset. If the undiscounted cash flows exceed the carrying value, no impairment is indicated. If the undiscounted cash flows do not exceed the carrying value, then impairment, if any, is measured as the difference between fair value and carrying value, with fair value typically based on a discounted cash flow model. There were no indicators, events or changes in circumstances that would indicate intangible assets were impaired during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

 

NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

 

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, plus the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the common share equivalents had been issued (computed using the treasury stock or if converted method), if dilutive.

 

The following common share equivalents are excluded from the calculation of weighted average common shares outstanding because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive:

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – CONTINUED

 

RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

 

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes,” which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. ASU 2019-12 is effective for the Company beginning in fiscal 2021. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

 

On May 3, 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options. This new standard provides clarification and reduces diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (such as warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Issuers should apply the new standard prospectively to modifications or exchanges occurring after the effective date of the new standard. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period.

3. BUSINESS COMBINATION

 

On May 10, 2021, pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement dated April 21, 2021, the Company closed on the acquisition from the shareholders of Blue Corner NV, a Belgian company (“Blue Corner”), of all of the outstanding capital stock of Blue Corner. Headquartered in Belgium, with sales representative offices in several other European cities, Blue Corner owns and operates an EV charging network across Europe. The acquisition of Blue Corner was made to enter the European market and provide an opportunity to expand the Company’s footprint in this region. The purchase price for the acquisition of all of Blue Corner’s outstanding capital stock was approximately $23.8 million (or €20 million), consisting of approximately $23 million (or €19 million) in cash and approximately $0.8 million (€0.7 million) represented by 32,382 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Consideration Shares”). The fair value of Consideration Shares was calculated based on the average price of the Company’s common stock during the 30 consecutive trading days immediately preceding the closing date of the Share Purchase Agreement, which equaled $37.66 (or €30.88) per share, reduced by a discount for illiquidity due to the 12 month lockup that exists on any sales or transfers. The Company also agreed to execute management agreements with key Blue Corner personnel, including equity incentive packages consisting of additional shares of our common stock which is compensatory and not included in the purchase price for this acquisition. The Company entered an escrow agreement pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, under which the Company paid approximately $2.1 million (€1.725 million) of the purchase price into an escrow account for a period of up to 18 months following the closing to cover any losses or damages the Company may incur by reason of any misrepresentation or breach of warranty by Blue Corner under the Share Purchase Agreement.

 

In order to determine the fair values of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed for Blue Corner, the Company engaged a third-party independent valuation specialist to assist in the determination of fair values. The final determination of the fair value of assets and liabilities will be completed within the one-year measurement period as required by ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). The Blue Corner acquisition will necessitate the use of this measurement period to adequately analyze and assess the factors used in establishing the asset and liability fair values as of the acquisition date, including intangible assets, accounts receivable, and certain fixed assets.

LITIGATION AND DISPUTES

 

On August 24, 2020, a purported securities class action lawsuit, captioned Bush v. Blink Charging Co. et al., Case No. 20-cv-23527, was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida against the Company, Michael Farkas (Blink’s Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer), and Michael Rama (Blink’s Chief Financial Officer) (the “Bush Lawsuit”). On September 1, 2020, another purported securities class action lawsuit, captioned Vittoria v. Blink Charging Co. et al., Case No. 20-cv-23643, was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida against the same defendants and seeking to recover the same alleged damages (the “Vittoria Lawsuit”). On October 1, 2020, the court consolidated the Vittoria Lawsuit with the Bush Lawsuit and on December 21, 2020 the court appointed Tianyou Wu, Alexander Yu and H. Marc Joseph to serve as the Co-Lead Plaintiffs. The Co-Lead Plaintiffs filed an Amended Complaint on February 19, 2021. The Amended Complaint alleges, among other things, that the defendants made false or misleading statements about the size and functionality of the Blink Network, and asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Amended Complaint does not quantify damages but seeks to recover damages on behalf of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Blink’s common stock between March 6, 2020 and August 19, 2020.  On April 20, 2021, Blink and the other defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Amended Complaint, which has now been fully briefed and is ready for review. The Company believes that the claim has no merit, and wholly and completely disputes the allegations therein. The Company has retained legal counsel in order to defend the action vigorously. The Company has not recorded an accrual related to this matter as of June 30, 2021 as it determined that any such loss contingency was either not probable or estimable. 

 

On September 15, 2020, a shareholder derivative lawsuit, captioned Klein (derivatively on behalf of Blink Charging Co.) v. Farkas et al., Case No. 20- 19815CA01, was filed in Miami-Dade County Circuit Court seeking to pursue claims belonging to the Company against Blink’s Board of Directors and Michael Rama (the “Klein Lawsuit”). Blink is named as a nominal defendant. The Klein Lawsuit asserts that the Director defendants caused Blink to make the statements that are at issue in the securities class action and, as a result, the Company will incur costs defending against the consolidated Bush Lawsuit and other unidentified investigations. The Klein Lawsuit asserts claims against the Director defendants for breach of fiduciary duties and corporate waste and against all of the defendants for unjust enrichment. Klein did not quantify the alleged damages in his complaint, but he seeks damages sustained by the Company as a result of the defendants’ breaches of fiduciary duties, corporate governance changes, restitution, and disgorgement of profits from the defendants and attorneys’ fees and other litigation expenses. The parties agreed to temporarily stay the Klein Lawsuit until there is a ruling on the motion to dismiss filed in the consolidated Bush Lawsuit. The Company has not recorded an accrual related to this matter as of June 30, 2021 as it determined that any such loss contingency was either not probable or estimable.

 

On December 22, 2020, JMJ Financial v. Blink Charging Co. was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, seeking to pursue claims for alleged breach of contract and conversion (the “JMJ Lawsuit”). The complaint alleges that JMJ Financial purchased warrants to acquire 147,057 shares of Blink common stock on or about April 9, 2018, which permitted a cashless exercise, and that on November 23, 2020, JMJ Financial delivered a notice of warrant exercise to Blink and that the Company failed to deliver the shares. The claim alleges breach of contract and conversion; the plaintiff requests damages of at least $4.2 million, attorneys’ fees, and specific enforcement requiring delivery of the shares. In January 2021, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with JMJ under which the parties exchanged releases and the litigation was discontinued with prejudice. The Company did not make a cash payment in the settlement, but rather delivered 66,000 shares of stock, representing a modification of the initial warrant exercise but did not result in the recognition of any incremental expense.

On December 23, 2020, a shareholder derivative action, captioned Bhatia (derivatively on behalf of Blink Charging Co.) v. Farkas et al., Case No. 20-27632CA01, was filed in Miami-Dade County Circuit Court against the same defendants sued in the Klein Lawsuit and asserting similar claims, as well as additional claims relating to the Company’s nomination, appointment and hiring of minorities and women and the Company’s decision to retain its outside auditor (the “Bhatia Lawsuit”). On February 17, 2021, the parties agreed to consolidate the Klein and Bhatia actions, which the court consolidated under the caption In re Blink Charging Company Stockholder Derivative Litigation, Lead Case No. 2020-019815-CA-01. The parties also agreed to keep in place the temporary stay. The Company believes that the claim has no merit, and wholly and completely disputes the allegations therein. The Company has retained legal counsel in order to defend the action vigorously. The Company has not recorded an accrual related to this matter as of June 30, 2021 as it determined that any such loss contingency was either not probable or estimable.

 

On February 12, 2021, a shareholder derivative lawsuit, captioned Wolery (derivatively on behalf of Blink Charging Co.) v. Buffalino et al., Case No. A-21-829395-C, was filed in the Eighth Judicial District Court in Clark County, Nevada seeking to pursue claims belonging to the Company against Blink’s Board of Directors (the “Wolery Lawsuit”). Blink is named as a nominal defendant. The Wolery complaint alleges that the amount of restricted stock awarded to Blink’s outside directors in December 2020 exceeded the amounts permitted by Blink’s incentive compensation plan. The complaint asks the court to rescind the excess restricted stock awards, as well as other relief. The parties have agreed that the defendants could have an extension to respond to the complaint and consequently no response has been filed. The Company has not recorded an accrual related to this matter as of June 30, 2021 as it determined that any such loss contingency was either not probable or estimable.

 

CEO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

 

On May 28, 2021, entered into a new employment agreement (the “Employment Agreement”) with the Company’s Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”). The term of the Employment Agreement is January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2023 (the “Term”).

 

Under the Employment Agreement, the CEO will receive a base salary of $800,000 for 2021 and $850,000 and $900,000 for 2022 and 2023, respectively. The CEO will be eligible to receive an annual performance bonus (payable in cash and securities), with a target bonus of 100% of the base salary, with the CEO eligible to receive up to 200% of the base salary based on the achievement of key performance indicators established by the Board of Directors and the CEO (“KPIs”). The CEO will receive equity awards (one-half in restricted stock and one-half in stock options) with a target aggregate value of $1,000,000, with the actual amount determined by the achievement of KPIs during each year of the Term. The CEO also received a special four-year performance option to purchase 475,285 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $37.40 per share, which will vest if the Company’s stock price on the NASDAQ exchange reaches and remains on average for a period of 20 consecutive market days at a closing price of $90 per share during the four-year term of the option. The performance option had a grant date fair value of approximately $13.5 million, which was estimated using a third-party provider who utilized a Monte Carlo simulation model. The Company will recognize the fair value over the derived service period of the award, which was determined to be 0.64 years.

 

Additionally, the CEO received one-time awards and payments in satisfaction of its 2020 bonuses, equity awards, and a salary catch-up since the expiration of his prior agreement in June 2020. The Employment Agreement provides that, if the CEO is terminated without cause, resigns for good reason, dies or becomes disabled during the Term, he will receive his base salary for the remainder of the Term and payment of 2.6 times his target performance bonus/equity awards and base salary. In the event of a termination without cause or resignation for good reason within nine months prior to or 18 months following a change in control, the multiple in the previous sentence will be 3.5 times.

 

The Employment Agreement also contains covenants (a) restricting Mr. Farkas from engaging in any activities competitive with the Company’s business during the Term and one year thereafter, (b) prohibiting Mr. Farkas from disclosure of confidential information regarding the Company at any time and (c) confirming that all intellectual property developed by Mr. Farkas during the term of the employment agreement which specifically relates to the EV charging business constitutes the Company’s sole and exclusive property. Mr. Farkas may be entitled to additional bonuses should his developments are commercialized by the Company.

Overview

 

We are a leading owner, operator, and provider of electric vehicle (“EV”) charging equipment and networked EV charging services in the rapidly growing U.S. and international markets for EV’s. Blink offers residential and commercial EV charging equipment and services, enabling EV drivers to recharge at various location types. Blink’s principal line of products and services is its nationwide Blink EV charging network (the “Blink Network”) and Blink EV charging equipment, also known as electric vehicle supply equipment (“EVSE”) and other EV-related services. The Blink Network is a proprietary, cloud-based system that operates, maintains, and manages Blink charging stations and handles the associated charging data, back-end operations, and payment processing. The Blink Network provides property owners, managers, parking companies, and state and municipal entities (“Property Partners”), among other types of commercial customers, with cloud-based services that enable the remote monitoring and management of EV charging stations. The Blink Network also provides EV drivers with vital station information, including station location, availability, and fees.

 

In order to capture more of revenues derived from providing EV charging equipment to commercial customers and to help differentiate Blink in the EV infrastructure market. Blink offers Property Partners a comprehensive range of solutions for EV charging equipment and services that generally fall into one of the business models below, differentiated by who bears the costs of installation, equipment, maintenance, and the percentage of revenue shared (as applicable).

 

  In our Blink-owned turnkey business model, Blink incurs the costs of the charging equipment and installation. We own and operate the EV charging station and provide connectivity of the charging station to the Blink Network. In this model, which favors recurring revenues, Blink incurs most costs associated with the EV charging stations; thus, Blink retains substantially all EV charging revenues after deducting network connectivity and processing fees.
     
  In our Blink-owned hybrid business model, Blink incurs the costs of the charging equipment while the Property Partner incurs the costs of installation costs. We own and operate the EV charging station and provide connectivity of the charging station to the Blink Network. In this model, the Property Partner incurs the installation costs associated with the EV station; thus, Blink shares a more generous portion of the EV charging revenues with the Property Partner generated from the EV charging station after deducting network connectivity and processing fee.

 

22
 

 

  In our host-owned business model, the Property Partner purchases, owns and operates the Blink EV charging station and incurs the installation costs. Blink works with the Property Partner, providing site recommendations, connectivity to the Blink Network, payment processing, and optional maintenance services. In this model, the Property Partner retains and keeps all the EV charging revenues after deducting network connectivity and processing fees.
     
  In our Blink-as-a-Service model, Blink owns and operates the EV charging station, while the Property Partner incurs the installation cost. The Property Partner pays to Blink a fixed monthly fee and keeps all the EV charging revenues after deducting network connectivity and processing fees.

 

As part of Blink’s mission to facilitate the adoption of EVs through the deployment and operation of EV charging infrastructure globally, we are dedicated to slowing climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions caused by road vehicles. With the goal of leading the build out of EV charging infrastructure and of maximizing Blink’s share of the EV charging market, we have established strategic commercial, municipal and retail partnerships across industry verticals and encompassing numerous transit/destination locations, including airports, auto dealers, healthcare/medical, hotels, mixed-use, municipal sites, multifamily residential and condos, parks and recreation areas, parking lots, religious institutions, restaurants, retailers, schools and universities, stadiums, supermarkets, transportation hubs, and workplace locations.

 

As of June 30, 2021, since its inception excluding Blue Corner, we sold, deployed or acquired through acquisitions 18,246 chargers , of which 7,360 were on the Blink Network (4,517 Level 2 publicly accessible commercial chargers, 1,555 Level 2 private commercial chargers, 105 DC Fast Charging EV publicly accessible chargers, 25 DC Fast Charging EV private chargers, and 1,158 residential Level 2 Blink EV chargers), and the remainder were non-networked, on other networks or international sales or deployments (173 Level 2 commercial chargers, 6 DC Fast Charging chargers, 9,823 residential Level 2 Blink EV chargers, 819 sold internationally and 55 deployed internationally). The charger units herein are net of swap-out or replacement units.

 

In addition, as of August 4, 2021, since its inception our recently acquired Blue Corner, sold or deployed 8,714 independent charge points which all were on Blue Corner’s network which comprised of 3,816 Level 2 publicly accessible commercial independent charge points, 25 DC Fast Charging publicly assessable commercial independent charge points and 4,873 private L2, private DC Fast Charging and private residential independent charge points.

 

As reflected in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2021, we had a cash balance of $142,052,894, working capital of $197,779,241 and an accumulated deficit of $208,174,528. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, we incurred net losses of $13,458,605 and $20,823,080, respectively. We have not achieved profitability.

 

Recent Developments

 

May 2021 Acquisition of Blue Corner

 

On May 10, 2021, pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement dated April 21, 2021, the Company closed on the acquisition from the shareholders of Blue Corner NV, a Belgian company (“Blue Corner”), of all of the outstanding capital stock of Blue Corner. Headquartered in Belgium, with sales representative offices in several other European cities, Blue Corner owns and operates an EV charging network across Europe. The acquisition of Blue Corner was made to enter the European market and provide an opportunity to expand the Company’s footprint in this region. The purchase price for the acquisition of all of Blue Corner’s outstanding capital stock was approximately $23.8 million (or 20 million ), consisting of approximately $23 million (or 19 million) in cash and approximately $0.8 million (0.7 million) represented by 32,382 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Consideration Shares”). The fair value of Consideration Shares was calculated based on the average price of the Company’s common stock during the 30 consecutive trading days immediately preceding the closing date of the Share Purchase Agreement, which equaled $37.66 (or 30.88) per share, reduced by a discount for illiquidity due to the 12 month lockup that exists on any sales or transfers. The Company also agreed to execute management agreements with key Blue Corner personnel, including equity incentive packages consisting of additional shares of our common stock which is compensatory and not included in the purchase price for this acquisition. The Company entered an escrow agreement pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, under which the Company paid approximately $2.1 million (1.725 million) of the purchase price into an escrow account for a period of up to 18 months following the closing to cover any losses or damages the Company may incur by reason of any misrepresentation or breach of warranty by Blue Corner under the Share Purchase Agreement.

 

January 2021 Underwritten Public Offering

 

In January 2021, we completed an underwritten registered public offering of 5,660,000 shares of our common stock at a public offering price of $41.00 per share. We received approximately $232.1 million in gross proceeds from the public offering, and approximately $221.4 million in net proceeds after deducting the underwriting discount and offering expenses paid by us. We anticipate using the net proceeds to supplement our operating cash flows to fund EV charging station deployment and to finance the costs of acquiring or investing in competitive and complementary businesses, products and technologies as a part of our growth strategy. We also plan to use any remaining proceeds we receive for working capital and other corporate purposes. Our Chief Executive Officer and one other officer participated in the offering by selling a total of 550,000 shares of our common stock from the exercise of the underwriter’s option to purchase additional shares. The public offering was made pursuant to our automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 filed with the SEC on January 6, 2021 and prospectus supplement dated January 7, 2021. Barclays Capital Inc. served as the lead book-running manager of the offering.

Note on Covid-19

 

The Covid-19 pandemic has impacted global stock markets and economies. We closely monitor the impact of the continuing presence of Covid-19 and multiple Covid-19 variants We have taken precautions to ensure the safety of our employees, customers and business partners, while assuring business continuity and reliable service and support to our customers. We continue to receive orders for our products, although some shipments of equipment have been temporarily delayed. The global chip shortage has caused some delays in equipment orders from our contract manufacturer. As federal, state and local economies begin to return to pre-pandemic levels and with a vaccine underway the Company expects demand for charging station usage to increase, however the Company is unable to predict the extent of such recovery due to the recent increase in infection rates of Covid-19. As a result we are unable to predict the ultimate impact equipment order delays, chip shortage and continuous presence of Covid-19 will have on our business, future results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. The extent to which our operations may be impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic will depend largely on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the outbreak and actions by government authorities to contain the outbreak or treat its impact. We intend to continue to monitor the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on our business closely.

 

Consolidated Results of Operations

 

Three Months Ended June 30, 2021 Compared With Three Months Ended June 30, 2020

 

Revenues

 

Total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2021 increased by $2,782,542, or 177%, to $4,355,152 compared to $1,572,610 during the three months ended June 30, 2020.

 

Charging service revenue from Company-owned charging stations was $586,173 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to $87,250 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of $498,923, or 572%. The increase is primarily due to the increase in driving as a result of the reopening of the economy which had been constrained from Covid-19 pandemic. Also contributing to the increase were charging service revenues of $203,745 from Blue Corner which we acquired in May 2021.

 

Revenue from product sales was $3,267,143 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $1,274,354 during the three months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of $1,992,789, or 156%. This increase was attributable to increased sales of Generation 2 chargers, DC fast chargers and residential chargers when compared to the same period in 2020 as well as product sales of $1,605,621 from Blue Corner which we acquired in May 2021.

 

Network fee revenues were $105,964 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $71,271 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of $34,693, or 49%.

Warranty revenues were $18,587 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $8,419 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of $10,168, or 121%. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in warranty contracts sold for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021.

 

Grant and rebate revenues were $74,067 during the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $3,912 during the three months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of $70,155, or 1,793%. Grant and rebates relating to equipment and the related installation are deferred and amortized in a manner consistent with the depreciation expense of the related assets over their useful lives. The 2021 revenue was related to the recognition of $27,000 in state grants associated with the installation of chargers during the three months ended June 30, 2021, the amortization of previous years’ grants and grants/rebates from Blue Corner which we acquired in May 2021.

 

Ride-sharing services revenues were $189,219 during the three months ended June 30, 2021 derived from ride-sharing subscription services through a program with the City of Los Angeles, which was associated with the acquisition of BlueLA in September 2020 (subsequent to June 30, 2020).

 

Other revenue decreased by $13,405 to $113,999 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to $127,404 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) credits generated during the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. We generate these credits from the electricity utilized by our electric car charging stations as a byproduct from our charging services in the states of California and Oregon.

Cost of Revenues

 

Cost of revenues primarily consists of electricity reimbursements, revenue share payments to our Property Partner hosts, the cost of charging stations sold, connectivity charges provided by Telco and other network providers, warranty, repairs and maintenance services, and depreciation of our installed charging stations. Cost of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2021 were $3,711,064 as compared to $1,158,730 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of $2,552,334, or 220%. There is a degree of variability in our costs in relationship to our revenues from period to period, primarily due to:

 

  electricity reimbursements that are unique to those Property Partner host agreements which provide for such reimbursements;
  revenue share payments are predicated on the contractual obligation under the property partner agreement and the revenue generated by the applicable chargers;
  cost of charging stations sold is predicated on the mix of types of charging stations and parts sold during the period;
  network costs are fixed in nature based on the number of chargers connected to the telco network regardless of whether the charger generates revenue;
  provisions for excess and obsolete inventory; and
  warranty and repairs and maintenance expenses are based on both the number of service cases completed during the period.

 

Cost of charging services-company-owned charging stations (electricity reimbursements) increased by $24,521 to $60,395 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to $35,874 for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

The decrease was primarily a result of non-capitalizable costs incurred during the 2020 period related to upgrades of our network systems.

 

Warranty and repairs and maintenance costs increased by $178,384, or 1006%, to $196,118 during the three months ended June 30, 2021 from $17,734 during the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in 2021 was attributable to significant efforts expended to reduce the backlog in warranty and repairs and maintenance cases. As of June 30, 2021, we recorded a liability of $7,000 which represents the estimated cost of existing backlog of known warranty cases.

 

Cost of ride-sharing services was $423,960 during the three months ended June 30, 2021 derived from ride-sharing subscription services program with the City of Los Angeles which was associated with the acquisition of BlueLA in September 2020 (subsequent to June 30, 2020).

 

Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $424,667 to $431,605 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to $6,938 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in depreciation expense was attributable to an increase in the number of EV charging stations including those from the Blue Corner acquisition which we acquired in May 2021 and vehicles purchased in December 2020 for the recently acquired BlueLA operations.

Warranty and repairs and maintenance costs increased by $324,626, or 245%, to $457,269 during the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $132,643 during the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was attributable to significant efforts expended in previous periods to reduce the backlog in warranty cases. As of June 30, 2021, we recorded a liability of $7,000 which represents the estimated cost of existing backlog of known warranty cases

 

Cost of ride-sharing services was $670,077 during the six months ended June 30, 2021 derived from ride-sharing subscription services program with the City of Los Angeles which was associated with the acquisition of BlueLA in September 2020 (subsequent to June 30, 2020).

 

Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $598,791, or 683%, to $686,519 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to $87,728 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in depreciation expense was attributable to an increase in the number of EV charging stations including those from the Blue Corner acquisition which we acquired in May 2021 and vehicles purchased in December 2020 for the recently acquired BlueLA operations.

Operating Expenses

 

Compensation expense increased by $9,498,266, or 215%, to $13,918,471 (consisting of approximately $9.9 million of cash compensation and benefits and approximately $4.0 million of non-cash compensation) for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Compensation expense was $4,420,205 (consisting of approximately $4.1 million of cash compensation and approximately $0.3 million of non-cash compensation) for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in compensation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 was primarily related to increases in personnel and compensation in executive, marketing, sales and operations departments as a result of the anticipated growth of the Company. In addition, compensation expense during the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared the same period in 2020 increased due to additional personnel in conjunction with the acquisitions of BlueLA and U-Go made during 2020 which were subsequent to June 30, 2020 and the acquisition of Blue Corner which occurred in May 2021. Also contributing to the increase in compensation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2021 is the new employment agreement with our CEO which included increases in cash and equity compensation as well as one-time awards and payments in satisfaction of his 2020 bonuses of $1,280,000, restricted stock grant of 19,504 shares of common stock, granted of 23,862 in stock options, and a salary catch-up since the expiration of his prior agreement in June 2020 of $294,575. Included in non-cash share-based compensation for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $1,911,538 related to the special four-year performance stock option for the CEO of the Company.

 

General and administrative expenses increased by $2,800,909, or 213%, to $4,117,445 for the six months ended June 30, 2021. General and administrative expenses were $1,316,536 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to increases in accounting, legal, investor relations, marketing, consulting and other professional service expenditures of $1,333,453. Furthermore, general and administrative expenses increased due to increases in amortization expense and acquisition related expenses of $162,249 and $319,801, respectively, related to the Blue Corner acquisition. Also contributing to the increase in general and administrative expenses were operating expenditures related to the 2020 acquisitions of BlueLA and U-Go which were acquired subsequent to June 30, 2020, and the acquisition of Blue Corner which occurred in May 2021.

 

Other operating expenses increased by $1,409,663, or 137%, to $2,436,281 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $1,026,618 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to increases in insurance, software licensing, hardware and software development costs, rent, and property/use tax expenditures of $1,083,777. Also contributing to the increase in other operating expenses were operating expenditures related to the 2020 acquisitions of BlueLA and U-Go which were acquired subsequent to June 30, 2020, and the acquisition of Blue Corner which occurred in May 2021.

 

Other Income (Expense)

 

Other expenses increased by $1,141,494 from other income of $50,144 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 to $1,091,350 for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. The increase was primarily related settlement and payment of $1,000,000 by the Company to our CEO regarding the transfer of 260,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to a prior institutional investor.

 

Net Loss

 

Our net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2021 increased by $26,813,693, or 448%, to $20,823,080 as compared to $5,990,613 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in compensation expense and general and administrative expenses.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We measure our liquidity in a number of ways, including the following:

 

   June 30, 2021   December 31, 2020 
    (unaudited)      
           
Cash  $142,052,894   $22,341,433 
           
Working Capital  $197,779,241   $19,579,775 
           
Notes Payable (Gross)   874,033   $870,696 

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we financed our activities from proceeds derived from debt and equity financings occurring in prior periods. A significant portion of the funds raised from the sale of capital stock has been used to cover working capital needs and personnel, office expenses and various consulting and professional fees.

 

28
 

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, we used cash of $20,094,235 and $6,675,582, respectively, in operations. Our cash use for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily attributable to our net loss of $20,823,080, adjusted for net non-cash expenses in the aggregate amount of $6,226,387 and $6,348,542 of net cash used in changes in the levels of operating assets and liabilities.  Our cash use for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was primarily attributable to our net loss of $5,990,613, adjusted for net non-cash expenses in the aggregate amount of $494,295, and $1,179,264 of net cash used in changes in the levels of operating assets and liabilities.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, net cash used in investing activities was $81,458,166, of which $58,012,701 was used in connection with the purchase of marketable securities, $4,553,184 was provided by the sale of marketable securities, $22,985,041 was used as cash consideration for the acquisition of Blue Corner, $242,868 was provided by the net cash acquired from Blue Corner and $5,019,549 was used to purchase charging stations and other fixed assets. $237,127 was related to the payment of engineering costs that were capitalized. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, net cash provided by investing activities was $2,309,655, of which, $2,755,134 was provided in connection with the sale of marketable securities and $445,479 was used to purchase charging stations and other fixed assets.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, cash provided in financing activities was $222,721,424, of which, $221,333,095 was provided by the sale of common stock in a public offering and $1,427,647 was provided upon the exercise of warrants, this was offset by $39,318 used to pay down our liability in connection with internal use software. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, net cash provided financing activities was $4,018,813, of which $855,666 was attributable to proceeds from our PPP loan, $3,195,968 was attributable to the net proceeds from the sale of common stock under the ATM, partially offset by $32,821 used to pay down our liability in connection with internal use software.

 

As of June 30, 2021, we had cash, working capital and an accumulated deficit of $142,052,894, $197,779,241 and $208,174,528, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, we had a net loss of $13,458,605 and $20,823,080, respectively.

 

In January 2021, we completed an underwritten registered public offering of 5,660,000 shares of our common stock at a public offering price of $41.00 per share. We received approximately $232.1 million in gross proceeds from the public offering, and approximately $221.4 million in net proceeds after deducting the underwriting discount and offering expenses paid by us. The public offering was made pursuant to our automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 filed with the SEC on January 6, 2021 and prospectus supplement dated January 7, 2021.

 

We are using the net proceeds from the public offering to supplement our operating cash flows to fund EV charging station deployment and finance the costs of acquiring competitive and complementary businesses, products and technologies as a part of our growth strategy, and for working capital and general corporate purposes.

 

We have not yet achieved profitability and expect to continue to incur cash outflows from operations. It is expected that our operating expenses will continue to increase and, as a result, we will eventually need to generate significant product revenues to achieve profitability. Historically, we have been able to raise funds to support our business operations, although there can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising significant additional funds in the future. We expect that our cash on hand will fund our operations for at least 12 months from the issuance date of the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.

 

Since inception, our operations have primarily been funded through proceeds received in equity and debt financings. We believe we have access to capital resources and continue to evaluate additional financing opportunities. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain funds on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. There is also no assurance that the amount of funds we might raise will enable us to complete our development initiatives or attain profitable operations.

 

Our operating needs include the planned costs to operate our business, including amounts required to fund working capital and capital expenditures. Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of our available funds will depend on many factors, including our ability to successfully commercialize our products and services, competing technological and market developments, and the need to enter into collaborations with other companies or acquire other companies or technologies to enhance or complement our product and service offerings.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures must be in conformity with U.S. GAAP. These accounting principles require us to make estimates and judgments that can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the periods presented. We believe that the estimates and judgments upon which it relies are reasonably based upon information available to us at the time that it makes these estimates and judgments. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, our financial results will be affected. The accounting policies that reflect our more significant estimates and judgments and which we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results are described below.

 

29
 

 

The following is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all of our accounting policies or estimates. Our accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in our financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

We recognize revenue primarily from five different types of contracts:

 

  Charging service revenue – company-owned charging stations - Revenue is recognized at the point when a particular charging session is completed.
  Product sales – Revenue is recognized at the point where the customer obtains control of the goods and the Company satisfies its performance obligation, which generally is at the time it ships the product to the customer.
  Network fees and other – Represents a stand-ready obligation whereby the Company is obligated to perform over a period of time and, as a result, revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the contract term. Network fees are billed annually.
  Ride-sharing services – Primarily related to a ride-sharing services agreement with the City of Los Angeles, which allows customers the ability to rent electric vehicles through a subscription service. The Company recognizes revenue over the contractual period of performance of the subscription.
  Other – Primarily related to charging service revenue from non-company-owned charging stations. Revenue is recognized from non-company-owned charging stations at the point when a particular charging session is completed in accordance with a contractual relationship between the Company and the owner of the station. Other revenues also comprise of revenues generated from alternative fuel credits.

 

The timing of the Company’s revenue recognition may differ from the timing of payment by its customers. A receivable is recorded when revenue is recognized prior to payment and the Company has an unconditional right to payment. Alternatively, when payment precedes the provision of the related services, the Company records deferred revenue until the performance obligations are satisfied.

 

Grants, rebates and alternative fuel credits, which are not within the scope of ASC 606, pertaining to revenues and periodic expenses are recognized as income when the related revenue and/or periodic expense are recorded. Grants and rebates related to EV charging stations and their installation are deferred and amortized in a manner consistent with the related depreciation expense of the related asset over their useful lives over the useful life of the charging station.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

We measure the cost of services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award on the date of grant. The fair value amount of the shares expected to ultimately vest is then recognized over the period for which services are required to be provided in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period. The estimation of stock-based awards that will ultimately vest requires judgment, and to the extent actual results or updated estimates differ from original estimates, such amounts are recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period that the estimates are revised. We account for forfeitures as they occur.

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. We assess the recoverability of its long-lived assets by monitoring current selling prices of car charging units in the open market, the adoption rate of various auto manufacturers in the EV market and projected car charging utilization at various public car charging stations throughout its network in determining fair value. An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition are less than its carrying amount.

Income Taxes

 

We account for income taxes pursuant to the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes pursuant to FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences and operating loss carry forwards. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

 

30
 

 

Operating Leases

 

We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets.

 

ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use an incremental borrowing rate based on the estimated rate of interest for collateralized borrowing over a similar term of the lease payments at commencement date. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwill is the excess of consideration paid for an acquired entity over the amounts assigned to assets acquired, including other identifiable intangible assets, and liabilities assumed in a business combination. To determine the amount of goodwill resulting from a business combination, the Company performs an assessment to determine the acquisition date fair value of the acquired company’s tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities.

 

Goodwill is required to be evaluated for impairment on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the asset may be impaired. An entity has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. These qualitative factors include: macroeconomic and industry conditions, cost factors, overall financial performance and other relevant entity-specific events. If the entity determines that this threshold is met, then the Company may apply a one-step quantitative test and record the amount of goodwill impairment as the excess of a reporting unit's carrying amount over its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The Company determines fair value through multiple valuation techniques and weights the results accordingly. The Company is required to make certain subjective and complex judgments in assessing whether an event of impairment of goodwill has occurred, including assumptions and estimates used to determine the fair value of its reporting units. The Company has elected to perform its annual goodwill impairment review on November 1 of each year.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

For a description of our recently issued accounting standards, see Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in Part 1, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, financings, or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons, also known as “special purpose entities” (SPEs).

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

 

We are not required to provide the information required by this Item because we are a smaller reporting company.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

As of June 30, 2021, being the end of the period covered by this Report, our management conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2021, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as discussed in Item 9A. Controls and Procedures – in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, under the heading “Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting” and that continued to exist as of June 30, 2021.

 

However, as part of its ongoing remediation initiative and with the help of an outside firm, management continued to commit substantial resources to documenting and evaluating our internal controls during the quarter:

 

Management is continuing to review the design and evaluate its internal controls over logical and administrative access to certain IT systems, resources, and facilities or to administer IT applications. Management is also continuing to closely monitor progress on the remediation of the previously reported Significant Deficiencies.

 

Management commenced the process of validating the operational effectiveness in both first and second quarters of 2021 of (a) the key internal controls forming part of the identified business processes and within the recently implemented NetSuite accounting system; and (b) the internal controls that are put in place as part of the ongoing remediation initiative.

 

Management expects to make and report continuous progress in the effective remediation of the identified and previously reported material weaknesses and significant deficiencies.

 

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

 

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, 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 and internal control over financial reporting must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Except the above, there were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in management’s evaluation pursuant to Rule 13a-15(d) or 15d15(d) of the Exchange Act during the quarter ended June 30, 2021, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

 

For a description of our legal proceedings, see Note 10 – Commitments and Contingencies – Litigation and Disputes in Part 1, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

 

In addition to the information set forth under Item 1A of Part I to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, the information set forth at the beginning of Management’s Discussion and Analysis entitled “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information,” and updates noted below, you should consider that there are numerous and varied risks, known and unknown, that may prevent us from achieving our goals. If any of these risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operation may be materially and adversely affected. In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment. These risk factors may not identify all risks that we face and our operations could also be affected by factors that are not presently known to us or that we currently consider to be immaterial to our operations.

 

We have a history of substantial net losses and expect losses to continue in the future; if we do not achieve and sustain profitability our financial condition could suffer.

 

We have experienced substantial net losses, and we expect to continue to incur substantial losses for the foreseeable future. We incurred net losses of approximately $13 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. As of June 30, 2021, we had net working capital of approximately $198 million and an accumulated deficit of approximately $208 million. We have not yet achieved profitability.

 

If our revenue grows slower than we anticipate, or if our operating expenses are higher than we expect, we may not be able to achieve profitability and our financial condition could suffer. We can give no assurance that we will ever achieve profitable operations. Even if we achieve profitability in the future, we may not be able to sustain profitability in subsequent periods. Whether we can achieve cash flow levels sufficient to support our operations cannot be accurately predicted. Unless such cash flow levels are achieved, we may need to borrow funds or sell our debt or equity securities, or some combination of both, to provide funding for our operations. Such additional funding may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all.

 

Our business and results of operations will be, and our financial condition may be, impacted by the continuing presence of Covid-19 and such impact is uncertain.

 

The global spread of the novel coronavirus (Covid-19) and multiple Covid-19 variants has created significant volatility, uncertainty and economic disruption. The extent to which the coronavirus pandemic impacts our business, operations and financial results is uncertain and will depend on numerous evolving factors that we may not be able to accurately predict, including:

 

  the duration and scope of the pandemic;
  governmental, business and individual actions taken in response to the pandemic and the impact of those actions on national and global economic activity;
  the actions taken in response to economic disruption;
  the impact of business disruptions and reductions in employment levels on our customers and the resulting impact on their demand for our EV charging equipment and related services;
  the increase in business failures among businesses that we serve and with which we collaborate;
  our customers’ ability to pay for our EV charging equipment and related services;
  our ability to provide our EV charging equipment and related services, including as a result of our employees or our customers working remotely and/or closures of offices and facilities; and
  disruption in the supply of computer chips and raw materials

 

Any of these factors could cause or contribute to the risks and uncertainties identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 and could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
